Evidently the people OF Wilmington
have accepted the advice of the Even
ing Journal to do their Christmas
shopping early. On Saturday after
noon and night our business streets
and stores were crowded with men,
women and children who were out
buying holiday goods and other things
displayed in such rich profusion. Keep
it up, and, before buying, read the ad-
vertisements in the Evening Journal
and patronize the advertisers.

tinue to give its attention to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty and the Ship Sub
sidy bill during the present week. AT
the last session the Nicaragua Canal
bill was made the special order of
business for to-day. but the establish

the canal bill. 1t is understood that
Senator Morgan, who has charge of
the canal bill, will not press that
measure until the treaty for the abro-
cation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is
disposed OF. The Senate win not sit

to be considered. The former is not ex-
pected to consume more than two
days, and the leaders expect that the

man must have been in the cemetery
for some purpose, and the most prob
able suggestion is that it was one that
preferred night to day. Nothing of a
suspicious nature more than the man
leaving the cemetery has been noticed,
but it is said that in the present condi-
ton of the new graves it would have
been easy to have covered up all traces
of his vandalism. To most places the
city of the dead is a sacred place, but
there are men in the world mean
enough to desecrate such place, and
it is to be hoped that the place will be
watched, and if possible the mystery
solved.
A visit was made to Jerome creek
with the hope of discovering what the
man had deposited in the creek, but
the water had carried everything away
to the lake, aud no clue to the mystery
was found there.
1t has been suggested that the man
might have come from the road just
north of the cemetery gates, but the
lady is positive that he came from the
cemetery.

duce the cost of this by having it all
done in this city. Charles Jackson,
formerly of Waukegan, will have
charge of the printing department.

CORTEGE IN TEE MUD.
Funeral Cortege of James Mitchell Delayed
TWO Hours on Account of Bad Roads

The roads between Racine and Keno
sha are in horrible condition, especially
in Kenosha county. 1t is plain evi-
dence that the good roads movement
cannot be urged too strongly by the
farmers of the counties. Tuesday it
took the funeral cortege of the late
James Mitchell five hours to go from
Racine to the Kenosha cemetery. Just
below the city on the main road a
bridge was discovered to be out and it
was necessary to cross west to the in
land road and this was discovered to be
in such shape that travel was out of
the question. Another new road to the
west was sought and efforts made to
get through and a terrible time was
experienced. The wheels of the hearse
went hub deep in the mud, as did the
carriages Of the mourners and others
and for two hours the vehicles were
stuck in the mire. The mourners left
the carriage and wa11owed about in the
mud in an attempt to assist the horses
in pulling the hacks along, but it was
not possible.
Fences we're broken down and after
tugs were broken on the harness the
hearse and hacks were pulled into a
field and the procession moved along
winding through stumps and logs for
at least half mile, when good piece
of road was again struck, and the
horses managed to get through the
balance of the distance, but were near
1y exhausted.
The mourners went back by train or
on the street cars.
1t is certainly shame and dis
grace that the roads between the two
cities are in such condition, and an
effort should be made to place one road
at least in first class shape this year.

MAN OF MYSTERY.
Park Avenue Residents See Unknown
Man Leave the Cemetery at Mid
night.
WITH PICK ANDDARK LANTERN

Has Been Seen on Several Occasions and
it is Feared That he IS Attempting to
Rob Some of the Graves in the Cemetery
Sexton of the Cemetery Seen but States
That no one Was at Work in the Cityo
the Dead at the Time.
The people living at the south end
of Park avenue were considerably work
ed up this morning on account of the
actions of man who was seen coming
from the city cemetery between mid
night and o'clock. There is a de-
though every effort has been made to
get some insight into his identity they
have not been successful.
The story of his actions about the
cemetery was told as follows: Shortly
after midnight one of the ladies living
near the cemetery, whose word could
not be doubted, was awaiting the re-
turn of her son, who had gone to RAJ
cine to attend some social function.
She walked to the front door and was
considerably amazed to see a man
leaving the cemetery. The fellow was
muf1ed up in big coat and carried a
pick over his shoulder, while in his
other hand he carried dark lantern.
He came from the front of the cemetery
and as soon as he had reached Park
avenue he extinguished the lantern.
He then walked down to Jerome creek
and was seen to throw something in
After the burden had been deposited in
the waters of the creek he started off at
brisk pace toward the south. The
lady reported to her son what she had
seen and the case was reported to the
police this morning. Some investiga-
ton was made and it was discovered
that a man answering the same de-
scription has been seen coming from
the cemetery other nights.
George Wallis, sexton of the GENE
terry, was seen this afternoon and
when asked if anyone had been at
work in the cemetery he replied in the
negative. When told of the presence
of the unknown man and his peculiar
actions. Mr.. Wallis had no exp1ana-
ton of the case. He said that it was
hardly possible that the man could
have looted any graves in the GENE
terry, as there were only few newly
| made mounds in the cemetery and,
while he had made no examination, he
hardly thought it possible that any Of
these had been mo1ested.
But the pick, and the lantern burn
J ing brightly seem to show that the

Pardon for McL1nden.

John McLinden, who was recently
sentenced by Judge Fish to serve nine
months in the county jail, was re-
leased this morning, he having been
pardoned by Governor Scofeld. Nc
Linden had served seven months of his
service and his conduct in the Jail has
been of the most exemplary character.
The request for a pardon was signed by
the District Attorney and by Sheriff
Timme, and the pardon was urged on
the grounds that the mother and sister
of the young man were i'll and needed
his attention. The people who are ac-
quainted with the case will be glad to
know that McLinden has been released.

Bowling donors of Kenosha.
The hopes of the City Official bowl
ing team to win the gold medal offered
by John Schmidt went g1immering last
night when they were defeated by the
Independents by a score of 1922 to
1860 The game was played on the
Maple House alleys and from the be-
ginning of the game it was evident
that the Officials had met their Water
loo. The Independents defeated them
in almost every inning. The main
interest in the fight centered in the
race between Herman and O'Brien,
and for a while it looked as if the
''Boy Wonder would lose his 1aure1s,
but he closed strong at the finish and
won by a narrow margin.
The victory of the Independents
over the City Officials gives them a
long led toward the medal and it is
now regarded as certain that this team
will win the championship of the city.

TELLS A FUNNY STORY.
Attorney Wood, of Chicago. SAYS That The
sieg Plant was Bought for Former owner

Sieg Plant was Bought for Former owner
Attorney Wood, of the firm of Wood,
Bangs & Wood, of Chicago, is quoted
as telling funny story in regard to
the recent purchase of the Sieg plant
in this city by A. D. Meiselbach, and
his story is to the effect that the plant
was purchased for Charles H. Sieg.
According to the story of the Chica-
go attorney Mr.. Meiselbach was inter
ested in the plant at the time of the
Sieg-Wa1po1e partnership and since
that time has held some stock in the
company. Mr.. Wood is further quoted
as saying that the new owner of the
company will not operate the plant
but that it will be operated under the
direction of Mr.. Sieg. This story has
been repeated to people in the city who
are interested in the success of the
plant and they state that there is posi-
lively no truth in the story and that
the plant has been purchased by and
will be operated by Mr.. Meise1bach.
The fact that the plant is to be used
for the manufacture of automobiles
gives color to the story, as before Mr..
Sieg was forced out of the business he
reported that he had secured the rights
to a patent on an automobile and would
manufacture them in this city.

Fred S. Lowell Post, G. A R.. Attempt to Care
for widows of Worthless Soldiers.
While the Fred S. Lowell Post, G. A.
r., at present very busy arranging for
the dedication of the soldiers month
ment, the pension committee of the
post are finding time to look after some
cases in the city which are of an I'M
usual nature. Two cases have been
found in this city where old soldiers
have deserted their wives and children
and in these cases the post is making
an effort to get the benefit of the law
passed March 3rd, 1899, which allows
the wife of a soldier, who has deserted
her, to receive one-ha1f of the money
which he is drawing from the govern
ment in the way of a pension. The
post has taken up these cases as per-
sona1 matters and are pushing them as
hard as possible and in way that is
certain to bring success.
1t is good thing to know that while
the post believes in caring for the old
soldier they can also care for the de-
serted wife and children Of the man
who has worn the blue but has forgot
ten his sacred duty to home and
family.
The pension committee of the post
are also making an effort to secure
pensions for a number of widows and
orphans whose pecuniary conditions
are such that they would not be able to
op+ the pensions without the assistance
of the post.
