WIFE rs MISSING.
Sensational Stories of Domestic Trouble
Current on the Streets Today.

Kenosha gossips have sweet NOR
sci today, for two we'll known families
of the city have been touched by the
tongue of scandal and it is possible
that within few days the facts in the
two cases will be made known in the
divorce courts.
One case affects well known West
side family. Yesterday morning the
husband started off to work and his
wife seemed very affectionate. She
kissed him farewell and en- Joined him
to have good time until he returned
from work The husband thought
nothing of the affair, but when he re-
turned to his home at the noon hour
the house was dark and on the table
he found a note which stated that the
wife had taken the children and gone
off for an extended vacation. The
husband is not making any effort to
locate the missing woman.
The other story is Of little more in
terest. The husband was called to
Milwaukee Sunday evening on mat
ter of business and when he reached
Racine he found that he could transact
his business there. He returned home
and letting himself into the house
with a latch key he found that an
other man had taken the leading role
as head of the house and family. AS
yet neither of the cases have been
brought into court and for this reason
the names of the participants have not
been made public.

SENT TO THE REFORM SCHOOL.
Charles Major Is Sent to the Reform
School on a Charge of Petit Larceny.

Charles Major, of Somers, who was
arrested yesterday on charge of bur-
glarizing the home of James Bradley,
was arraigned in Justice MCCarron's
court this morning on a charge of
petit larceny. Ahe boy plead guilty
to the charge and was ordered sent to
the reform school for a term of six
years. The sentence was passed at
request of the relatives of the boy who
are of the opinion that term in the
reform school will do the boy good.
Young Major is not in any way lack
ing in nerve for when he was asked to
tell of his crime he admitted having
entered the house and, furthermore,
stated that in order to make a plausi-
BILE story to tell the officers he had de-
1iberately shot himself in the arm with
a rifle. When he was arrested he de-
c1ared that he had gone to the house to
capture a number of tramps who were
robbing the place. The wound in the
arm of the boy is not regarded as a
dangerous one and he will be able to
be taken to the reform school at Wau-
kesha at once.

A GARRISON FINISH.
Kenosha Athletics Defeat the htcago
Cranes.-Most Exciting Game of Year

Cranes.-Most Exciting Game of year
There was a garrison finish out at
Grand View Park Sunday afternoon
and in the last half of the ninth i'm
ming Jack Connery, "Old Reliable
Jack" sent two Dagger over third
base and brought in the run which
won hard contest between the Keno
sha Athletics and the Chicago Cranes.
The early indications of rain had
kept the crowd at the game down to
about three hundred, but the rooters
who were there showed their apprecia-
ton of the work of the left fielder by
jumping in the air and hurting the
cushions far into the diamond. The
game was the most exciting by far
seen on the Kenosha grounds this sea-
son and the finish was one to arouse
enthusiasm in the dryest fan.
The Cranes were husky little lot
of base ball players and they played
the game from the beginning of the
first inning until the Kenosha men
had managed to put two men across
the plate IN the nintn. They seemed
to have the better of the game when
they added a second score to their
column, but the Kenosha players
proved to be too str ing at the finish
aud the game ended with score of
to 2 in favor of the locals.
Hubbard brought in the first run in
the third inning but the lead of the
Kenosha team was short lived one
for in the fifth inning the Chicago
boys took kindly to Bulman and
raped out couple of two base hits,
which allowed them to tie the score.
In the sixth inning they added an
other run to their score and until the
ninth inning the Kenosha players
were getting the worst of the argu-
ment.
But in this inning all the fellows
pulled themselves together and for
few minutes they made the crack
pitcher of the Chicago team look like
a pitcher for scrub team. Bulman
was the first man up and he was
thrown out at first Chilly" Eaton
followed and took a rap at the bali
sending it over second base for two
bases, Weier followed with a base on
balls and by this time Eaton, with
daring steal, had reached third base.
Then Hubbard came 10 the rescue with
two Dagger and Eaton trotted across
the plate tieing the score. A minute
later Connery batted Weier in and the
game was won.
The following is the score and sum-
mary of the game:
Kenosha .......O 0 90 U 0 0 %

MISS ANNA LOUISA FOWLER.

The recent death of Miss Fowler, of
Kenosha county, is felt to be more
than an ordinary loss. The Bristol
and Paris Congregational church of
which she was one of the most active
and useful members, as well as the
circle of relatives, have desired that
some special notice of her life and
character be given. But the memory
of her unassuming character
would seem to prevent any extended
mention of her many deeds of service
for her Lord and Master, and for hui
mainly.
Miss Fowler came to Wisconsin in
1849 from Northford, Conn.,, where
she was born. She belonged to one of
those old New England families which
coming West in those days, have given
stimulus to enterprise, industry and
moral character wherever they 1oca-
ted. She lived with her father, Chas.
M. Fowler, till his death at the age of
80, in 1886. She then made her home
with her sister Ellen Mrs. w. L..
Marsh.) She, with her father and
others of the family, formed the nu-
c1eus of the church of a dozen charter
members.
In '88 fail caused the fracture of a
hip, followed by lameness through
life. Hers was life of benevolence
Her good deeds were many, and many
are recorded on high which had no
mention on earth. She was constantly
planning to help others, helpful and
comforting in the home. She was
faithful in her attendance at her
church and Bible class, also at the
Ladies' Missionary meetings. The
her presence and smile of greeting on
the Sabbath. A leading member of
her loved church asks: "Who will take
her placer" Another said: cit will
be hard to find anyone to do her work
or fill her place. One of the home
circle exclaimed, GA light has gone
out from the home"
Her sudden and unexpected
death took place at her home on the
10th of August, 1891, after an illness
of two or three days, and the end was
very peaceful.
The funeral was attended from the
church at p. m. on the 22nd, Kew.
Edwin Norton Andrews, the pastor,
preaching from John XIV, %: eff ye
loved me ye would rejoice be-
cause I go unto the Father" The
floral tokens were beautiful, one piece
being large wreath of roses, another
a pillow embossed with Anna"
The burial was in the cemetery near
the church. At the grave was read the
following acrostic in nemoriam, writ
ten for the occasions:
At last, at last! Yet all too soon-
Nature hath yielded to the CALL
No longer with us, she hath gone
Above. No ills can there befall.
Love queries, Wherefore? But we know
For her the Savior knew the BEST
o, blessed was her life below:
We hail her in the Land of Rest!
Let love cast tokens DER her grave,
Fen as to the poor her aims she gave.
Rest, then in peace, where flowers shall wave

City Council Defers Action on Plans
and Specifications for the Bridge
Until Another Meeting.
POOR FARM is ALSO LAID OVER
Council Not Satisfied With Land Suggested
For Poor Farm and Committee Are In
structed to Look Further.


The Common Council met in special
session at the City Hall Monday even
ing for the purpose of considering the
Specifications for the new Main street
bridge, as presented by the managers
of the Kenosha Street Railway COM
pany Monday, but the meeting was of
little use, as the members of the Coun-
Gil were not ready to act on the specif-
cations and the contractors will have
to wait week before they can make
offers or contracts on the proposed
bridge.
The plans for the bridge had already
been accepted by both the Council and
and with the specifications Engineer
Moth filed report recommending the
approval of the same. But the Council
was contrary minded and concluded to
delay matters. The specifications
were long. They provide for the COM
pany to build a new north pier, but the
bridge will rest on the old south pier
and the central pier as now in place.
The south pier will be improved and
repaired so as to make it able to stand
the added strain of the cars and rails
of the Railway company.
The roadway of the bridge will be
twenty feet in width and sidewalks
will be built on each side to width of
five feet.
The company, according to the speci-
fications. will allow the contractors
SIX months' time in which to complete
the bridge.
Many objections were raised to the
Specifications, but the most pertinent
ones were brought against the time al
lowed for the completion of the bridge
and the plan of the company to utilize
the south pier. Several of the Alder
men held that the south pier is not
strong enough to sustain the weight of
the new bridge and the City Engineer
was ordered to investigate this matter
and make a report to the Council at
the meeting on next Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Arnold has promised to attend
this meeting and at this time it is
hoped that the affairs of the Railway
company will be finally put IN shape.
No other business was taken up at
the Council meeting and as soon as it
was decided to delay action on the
bridge specifications the Council ad-
iourned to meet as a committee Of the
whole to consider a proposition for the
purchase Of poor farm.
The meeting of the committee of the
whole did little more than develop the
fact that several of the members of the
Council were opposed to the purchase
of a poor farm. The chairman of the
committee suggested several sites near
the city, but nearly all of them were in
an out of the way position and the
prices demanded for the land was uni
versa11y large. The piece of property
which seemed to be the best suited was
the tract taken from the Flynn prop
erty west of the city.
The Council, however, did not act on
any of the propositions and the matter
was referred back to the pauper COM
nittee, which will make another re-
port within week.

"The Fast Mail" which appears at
Rhode opera house next Sunday night
is said to be the most successful rail-
road and scenic me1odrama on the road
this season. Mr.. Lincoln J. Carter,
the author and manager, has con-
trived to weave into consistent story
nearly all the good points of the sem
sationa1 drama. The climax of such
act is strong enough to sustain whole
play, yet so well graded are the feat
ures of the piece that one views with
increasing interest through the five
acts, the murder and the clever trick
with the Grandfather clock in the
first act; the Mississippi river steamer,
it's engine room showing a practical
furnace, and the explosion with &C tn
plete change of scene behind a curtain
of rising smoke behind which is the
wreck scene, as the curtain falls on the
second act; the full size freight train,
with it's realistic engine and fourteen
box cars with their familiar lettering
followed, at the close of the third act,
by "The Fast Mail" the dago of the
third act and the thrilling incidents
and hair breadth. escapes which take
place there, and then the full front
view of Niagara Falls, as seen from
the centre of Suspension bride upon

Refining Petroleum.

The refining of petroleum is an in
teresting process. The petroleum is
put into tank, under which is a slow
fire, burning the gas from the oil itself
AS the latter warns up. the vapors
pass through long pipe, and are
cooled in the process, condensing it
into liquid again. The first thing that
comes over" is a gas which is used
as fuel in the works. Next, the vary.
ing grades of naphtha; next (the prod.
uct becoming heavier and heavier all
the time), the gasoline grades, then
the LOWEST kerosenes, then the high.
grade kerosenes. Then comes long
list of heavier oils, ending with the
heaviest and thickest of lubricants.
There is left in the tank paraf1ine and
a black, dense, sticky substance which
Is little more than asphalt. From these
bi-products, after the refining of oil,
are made more than $50 substances Of
value, including such familiar things
as dyes, soap, vaseline, ointment, and
chewing gum.

About Slate Pen ellis.

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from slate just as it is dug from the
earth. Pencils SO made were objected
to on account of the grit which they
contained To overcome this difficulty
scientific man devised an ingeniuos
process by which the slate is ground
to very fine powder, all grit and for
eign substances removed, and the pow
der bolted through silk much in the
same manner as flour is bolted. The
powder is then made into a dough and
this dough is subjected to heavy hy-
draulic pressure, which presses the
pencils out in the required shape and
diameter, but in lengths of about
three feet. While yet soft the pencils
are cut into the desired lengths and
set out to dry in the open air. After
they are thoroughly dry the pencils
are placed in steam baking kilns,
where they receive the proper temper.

Arctic NIGHT,

Icebergs dotted the blue surface OF
the sound, and far into the haze OF
Baffin bay we could see them drifting
southwark. The air was as still and
clear as on a quiet, moonlit winter
night at home, and the level sun rays
streamed through in a glory Of Italian
pink Unfolding all, as was the peace
that passeth knowledge" like the Sc
renity of soul that has won, through
toll and storm, the strength and poise
of enduring calm. 1t was well-nigh
overwhelming. In ill-disguised neces-
sity we turned from the vision to the
sight of heaps of crumpled dead birds
in the boat, and talked of shooting
and agreed that nowhere in the world
was there promise of better sport than
here. Then silence fell again. In spite
Of us, our eyes were drawn outward;
and through all the peaceful beauty
We felt once more the poignancy of its
awful purity. He would be a man Of
spotless soul indeed and of assured
faith who, seeing the stainless lowell
ness of the scene, would feel no pang.
