School Board Will Probably Demand
the Vaccination of Pupils of
the City Schools.
SMALL Pox. IN WISCONSIN.
The Dread Disnase Has Been Found in Sew
eral Cities of the STATE and it is Feared
That It Will Spread &c This City

Small pox has been discovered IN
several cities to the North and South
of Milwaukee, and on this account
many people of the city have been
frightened lest the disease might be
brought to this city. While no case OF
the disease has as yet been discovered
in Kenosha, at the next meeting OF the
Board of Education the members OF the
board will be asked to pass resolution
demanding that some action be taken
to make the pupils of the city schools
immune. It has been proposed by
number of well known physicians, as
we'll as the members OF the board OF
health, that the resolution passed de-
mand a general vaccination OF all the
children attending the city schools.
The matter has been referred to Pres
ident Williams of the board and has
his hearty approval. This morning
President Williams was seen and stated
that he had heard that the resolution
had been prepared and that he was IN
favor of it. He said that the law IN
the matter had been carefully investi-
gated and, while there was some ques-
ton as to whether the board had
legal right to order general VAGINA
ton, some such step should be taken.
MANY diseases are abroad in Kenosha
and if the pupils of the city schools
were properly vaccinated there would
be little reason to expect any of the
diseases becoming epidemic. Presi-
dent Williams said that while there
was always danger with such dread
diseases III other cities near Kenosha,
he had no reason to expect any spread
to this city, but the board preferred to
have the children on the safe side, If
possible. The move for a general vac
cination has the approval Of several
other members of the board of edu-
cation and there is little doubt that
some action will be taken at the meet
ing Tuesday. The physicians of the
city, almost to a man, are in favor OF
the plan to prevent any spread OF dis
ease. Of course, it would mean a great
deal of trouble to the children, but in
the long run it would bring feeling
of safety to the parents, which would
more than make up for any financial
expenditure.

REFUSES THE MOTION.
Judge Fish Decides That the Judgment in
the Harf case Must Stand.

The hearing of the argument for a
new trial in the suit of John D. HarH
VS.. the City of Kenosha, was conducted
at Racine before Judge Fish this morn
ing, and the motion was decided
against the city. In the argument
Jno. c. Slater appeared for the city
and Attorney Baker, of this city, with
Wallace. ingalls,, of Racine, argued
against the granting of the motion.
The city had demanded a new trial
of the case on the ground that the
finding of the jury was pot justified by
the evidence presented, and on account
of the fact that if it were possible for
Harff to recover, the damages should
have been larger. The case was tried
at the September term of the Circuit
court, and Harff, who was the plaintiff
in the action, was awarded $500 dam
ages. Now that the motion for new
trial has been over-ruled, the judgment
will probably be perfected at once and
the case will be appealed to the Su-
preme court.
The City Council has discussed the
case at length, and it has been deci-
ded that the case should be appealed.
The case will probably reach the
higher courts within a few months,
and the attorneys of the city have high
hopes of having the case reversed.

KenOsha Woman Convicted of Murder
Granted a Pardon by Governor
SCOfieId.
LEAVES HER PRISON TODAY.
Will Return to Kenosha and will Find
Home in a Well Known Family-Her
Crime and Punishment.

Mrs. Marie P1eva, of this city, who
was convicted of killing her husband
in 1897, is a free woman again, as
pardon from Governor Scofe1d caused
her discharge from the state prison at
Waupun today.
The pardon was signed by Governor
Scofe1d Wednesday afternoon and
when the news of it had been received
in this city it caused great rejoicing
among the many friends of the woman
who have been working for her release
for months. 1t came as splendid New
Years gift to the woman, as it RENTS
eleven years of her confinement. Mrs.
P1eva had been sentenced to serve
fourteen years, having been convicted
of the crime of manslaughter.
The crime for which she was paying
the penalty is still fresh in the minds of
many people. In May, 1897, Michael
Pleva was found dead at his little
home on Ashland avenue, and post
mortem examination showed that he
had been poisoned by arsenic. The
wife was arrested few days later and
made partial confession that she had
placed the poison in the mans coffee.
The woman was convicted of man
slaughter and the jury recommended
light sentence. The way in which she
told her story when on trial enlisted
the friendship of several well known
people and after the trial was over 1t
was learned that P1eva had often
threatened to kill her and her two little
children and on the night preceding
the murder had threatened to shoot
the entire family.
Several petitions, praying"for the
pardon of Mrs. P1eva, had been pre-
pared and presented to the governor,
but he refused to grant them, claiming
that the woman had not been sufflc-
ient1y punished for the crime. The
last petition was backed by personal
letters from Judge Fish, Attorney A.
E. Buckmaster, County Agent Conner
mann and the members of the jury and
these papers carried sufficient weight
with the governor to secure her release.
The pardon was practically issued on
Saturday last but was not signed by
the governor until Wednesday after
noon. The two children have been in
the state school at Sparta Swhile the
mother was incarcerated.
Mrs. P1eva and her children will re-
turn to this city and it is reported that
she will be given home with a we'll
known family here.

ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Charles Lundquist Charged with Attempts
ing to Assault Mrs. j. Machawoski.

Charles Lundquist, a young man
employed at the Allen tannery, was
arrested yesterday afternoon by Chief
of Police O'Hare on charge of at
tempting to make criminal assault
on Mrs. Annie Machawoski.
The people in the case are all OF
Polish birth and the alleged attempted
assault occurred on Park street on New
Years evening. 1t seems that the
Machowoski family had been enter
tanning friends and Lundquist is said
to have come to the house as an I'm
hidden guest. He is said to have been
partially intoxicated and when he was
left alone with the woman he attempt
ed to assault her. Her screams brought
her husband into the room, and ne
proceeded to give the fellow sound
thrashing. Later Lundquist made an
other attempt on the woman and the
husband at once issued warrant for
his arrest. He was taken before Justice
Slater Wednesday evening and the
case was continued for week. The
prisoner was released, bail being fixed
at 5000. The case has caused a great
deal of excitement in Polish circles

Miller, we'll known young man from
Chicago, who is now employed at the

Advancements TO be Made to Fill Vacancy
Caused by Miss Hubbard's Resignation.

Caused by Miss Hubbard's Resignation.
The teachers committee of the Board
of Education held two meetings on
Wednesday for the purpose of making
an effort to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Miss Jessie Hubbard,
who was a primary teacher. Neither
meeting of the committee was sue
cessfu1 one, as most of the members of
the committee preferred the fire at
home to a walk down town. However,
it was arranged that the chairman of
the committee should draw up report
which will be signed by the majority
of the committee. The report will
provide for Miss Mary Mcclellan TAX
ing the place made vacant by Miss
Hubbard. Miss Olga Miller will take
Miss McC1e11an's place and Miss
Blanche Adamson will be employed as
a new teacher. The changes will be
made on next Monday morning. The
Board will meet on Tuesday evening
and at that time the action of the COM
n1ittee will probably be ratified.

Why some rich persons will insist up
on carrying money and valnables about
with them is mystery. The following
incident shows how serious loss they
sometimes suffer for their folly:
She was one of the Epworth Leaguers
and approached the station agent at
Fruito, Colo, with the story of the loss
of her pocketbook somewhere along the
road between Grand junction and Fruito.
1t was heavy loss, as the purse con-
tained $500 in cash, $500 in drafts, about
5000 worth of diamonds and some other
jewels.
The station agent wired the story to
Supt. Welby of the Rio Grande Western,
and the latter ordered handcar out
over the line IN search of it. Sare
enetgh, the purse Was found, about half
way between the two stations, and was
found to contain all the articles described.
1t was forwarded to the express agent at
Salt Lake and delivered to the owner.
Had some hobo run across it first
added Superintendent Welby, who re-
lated the incident "the story would have
been different. 1t is wonder that the
purse was not picked up before our men
got there on hand car
Travelling passenger agent "Billy''
Ridd, who was at Grand Junction with
Superintendent Welby's corps, is sur
prised that there are not more losses re-
ported by the Epworth Leaguers.
"Those people" he remarked twill be
robbed every day until they get back
home from San Francisco There is an
organized gang of female grafters ac-
eompanying the excursion. They wear
Epworth League badges and carry New
Testaments and work the thefts in the
night, coneealing the stolen articles
about their clothing. OF course they are
the first to cry''I've been robbed, when
every body wakes up in the morning, and
thus they divert suspicion from them
selves.
at is not hard matter to rob people
travelling as the Leaguers do. The car
windows are always open and the passen
gers leave valua bles in the hammocks Of
their berths. Anybody might reach
through the windows from the outside
and whsk purses from under their very
noses. Two men lost their vests at
Grand Junction that way
