Residence of John Pagan in the
Town of Pleasant Prairie De-
strOyed Tuesday Afternoon.
BOYS CELEBRATE "BELL" NIGHT
And the Fire Department Forced to Run TO
Joke-.Arrests Will Follow.

A disastrous fire occurred in the
town of Pleasant Prairie shortly after
noon Tuesday which resulted in the
destruction of the residence of John
| Pagan, we'll known resident of the
town, entailing loss of from 81 500 TO
$1,000
The fire, which was supposed to have
resulted from defective fue, was dis
covered in the rear part of the frame
dwelling and before any check could
be found for the. flames the entire
house had been consumed together
with all the furniture and fixtures in
Guiding the clothing of the differen
members of the Pagan family.
The family was at dinner when one
of the members went into the kitchen
to get something for the table and no.
ticed an ordor of smoke. Nothing was
thought of the matter, but minute
later it was discovered that the entire
building was in flames. The neigh
bors hurried to the spot but before
they had arrived every hope of saving
anything frot1 the burning building
had been abandoned and the mem bers
of the family had escaped with the
greatest difficulty. There was no
water avai1ab1esfor the use of the fire.
men and they could do nothing but
| w atch the progress of the flames and
make an effort to save the surrounding
buildings from the fury Of the fire.
t The loss from the fire is estimated
at about 81 $780, but it is possible that
| it will exceed this amount. The hou Sc
was valued at about thousand dollars
and the furniture is said to have been
worth nearly like amount. A num-
Der of valuable papers belonging to
Mr.. Pagan were destroyed in the fire.
The loss is partially covered by in
surance. The fire caused great excite
ment in the neighborhood and the
members of the family who were left
homeless were cared for by neighbors
Boys Celebrate Bell Night.
The boys of Kenosha have found a
new tradition in regard to the mys-
teries surrounding GAIL Saints Day"
and Tuesday evening, according to this
new arrangement, was "Bel1 Night"
/
an elaborate manner and many of the
people of the ward were bothered by
having their bells rung by the urchins.
But the fun got entirely too furious,
for shortly after ten o'clock some of
the boys went to the corner of Salem
and Rowland avenues and turned in a
fire alarm. The fire engines and fire.
men made long run to that part of
the city to find that the alleged fire
was all hoax.
The matter will not be dropped and
the police will make an effort to find
out who the boys were who turned in
the alarm and they will be prosecuted
| to the fullest extent of the law
The penalty for such an offence is a
severe one and it is to be hoped that
the boys will be apprehended and made
to suffer the full penalty.

Tells Soldiers He Relies on Them If
People Become Insubordinate.
The Kaiser made most sensational
speech to his soldiers on the occasion OF
the conservation of the new barracks of
the Alexander regiment in Berlin. His
majesty compared the present situation
within the German empire with the con-
ditions which prevailed in German. IN
the period before the revolutionary out
breaks of 1913, when the throne of Prus-
STA was in danger The Kaiser then adj
monished his soldiers as follows: If rev.
olution occurs, crush internal enemies as
you would crush a foreign enemy" The
Kaiser has been speaking i'll similar
strain ever since the attack on him by
Welland aud his remarks to his soldiers
are apparently in reply to the unfayora-
bic comments by the press on his preyi-
Gus utterances regarding conditions in
Germany. The Kaiser in his address to
the soldiers concluded as follows: If,
as in 1913, the people of Berlin should be-
come insolent and insubordinate. and
arise against the King of Prussia, you
will be my life-guards, on whom | can
rely to destroy insolent and insubordi-
nate Berliners.'
