Alcohol and Crime.

The warden of the Allegheny (Pa.)
county prison board says in his report
that during the ~ months ended De-
cember 81, 1900, there were received
e,1S2 prisoners, as against S,440 the
previous year. The Jail physician
states that 95 per cent. of those COM
mitted were under his care for alco-
holism, and out of 5,727 who were
summarily convicted there was not
one who was not victim of the alco-
hol habit. Still there are people of
moderate intelligence who look upon
the saloon business as necessary to
municipal prosperity, an evil to be toll
Grated for the revenue it affords and
for the commercial prosperity which
is enormously supposed to attend it.
Such ignorance is bound to be ban
ished by the brighter light of the
twentieth century.-Cumberlan Pres
byterian.

"SeIf-ContrOI Society"

An organization has been formed In
Scotland, at first called the 'Sobeg
Scot society,"" but hereafter to be
known as the Scottish Self-Control
society,"" the purpose of which is to
oppose the practice of treating with
liquors and "nipping." Several mem,
bers of the aristocracy are giving the
organization the support of their
names and influence. The object OF
the society is certainly worthy one.

Three-Year-OId Cigarette Fiend.

SAMMY" Keller, three years old, is
a tobacco fend, according to his
mother, and that is how her apart
ments at 173 Orchard street, New
York city, were set afre. Sammy"
Mrs. Keller says, will smoke anything
from butt" to a clay pipe, and she
cannot break him of the habit. He
got hold of a cigarette and went into
the bedroom to smoke it. After
lighting the cigarette, his mother
says, he threw the blazing match on
the floor. With the baby on one arm
and Sammy" hanging on to the 9TH
e. hand, Mrs. Keller ran into the
street. Then the firemen came and
put out the blaze. Sammy was

Mr. Lemly then repeated his ques-
tion on a basis of IA hours.
The only reason ! can give said
the witness, "is that she stood directly

also that in shore the current would

as TO why he questioned the credibility
of some of the reports concerning the
location of the Spanish fleet which
came from Admiral Sampson. He
read Admiral Schley's statement say

He wanted to know why the admiral
was shy about taking information from

nation brought by the Adula from

Former KenOsha Pastor is Elected
Secretary of the Lutheran Church
at Lima, Ohio.
AT HEAD OF SWEDISH LUTHERANS
MIR. Starke's New Position Places Him at
Head of His Church in This Country
Will Probably Live in the East.

A telegram from Lima, Ohio, this
sion of the National Lutheran Synod
this morning the Rev. G.. K. Starke,
formerly pastor of the Swedish Luth-
eran church in this city, was elected
as one of the secretaries of the Luther
an church in America. The position
comes as a high honor to the former
Kenosha minister, and while it will
take him out Of the active ministerial
work for some years, it will offer him
a great opportunity to do good in all
parts of the world. Mr.. Starke will
have charge of the mission work of
the church both in this and in other
lands. The position is accompanied
by handsome salary. It is probable
that it will be necessary for Mr.. Starke
to remove to one of the Eastern cities
in order to be more in touch with the
general offices of the Lutheran church
in America.
This election to the position as Swe-
dish Secretary for the Lutheran
church, practically places Mr.. Starke
at the head of the Swedish ministers
of his denomination in this country,
and it is seldom that so young man
is given so responsible a position.
Rev. Starke is one of the youngest
men in the Chicago district. He came
to Kenosha five years ago fresh from
his work in the Augustana college,
but he at once set to work and within
two years he had not only built a
church for Kenosha, but had estab-
1ished congregations of the church in
Waukegan, Racine and Milwaukee,
thus giving the Swedish Lutherans
footho1d in Wisconsin.
This splendid work was soon recog-
nized and Rev. Starke was called to
the Evanston church. He left Keno
sha some FIVE months ago and had
lust got well started in the work at
Evanston when this new and better
appointment came to him.
Mr. Starke is not only a good
preacher, but he is also a good bust
ness man and he will be a splendid
man in his new position. The mem
bers of the Swedish Lutheran church
in this city were highly delighted by
the announcement that their former
pastor had gained SO high position in
the counse1s of the church and they
expect even greater things of him in
the future.

Minister For the Park Avenue M. {.
Church is Being Considered by the
Wisconsin Conference.
EITHER MANATON OR FARMER.
Prominent Ministers are Suggested for the
Kenosha Church With the Balance in
Favor Of r. K. Manaton.

The Wisconsin Conference in ses-
sion at Ripon, has not as yet selected a
minister to take the place of Rev. S.
w. Nay1or as pastor of Park avenue
M. E. Church in this city, but at the
close of the meeting of the cabinet,
Thursday evening, it was stated that
the new minister of the Kenosha
church would be either r. K. Maniton,
of the Summerfeld church in Milwau-
kee, or the Rev. J. E. Farmer, at pres
ent presiding elder of the Appleton
District of the conference. The bal
ance of power seems to favor Mr.. Man
iton as the new minister for the Keno
sha Church. The people of the con-
gregation have sent memorial to the
conference stating the needs of the
Kenosha church and urging that "a
strong man be sent to take up the
work of Mr.. Naylor, and suggesting
the names of the two minister's men
toned. Mr.. Farmer has beens jim charge
of the Appleton District for the past
two years, and he is regarded'as'one of
the strongest men connected with the
church in Wisconsin. He is a bust
ness man, and has been influential in
building several churches at stations
where he had been stationed in the
past Rev. Mr.. Maniton is the young
er man of the two, and has spent most
of his time in the churches of Milwau-
kee. Mr.. Manaton is a student of re-
1igion and is reputed to be one of the
strongest pulpit orators insthe State.
Either of the men are perfectly will
ing to come to Kenosha and take up
the work. There was some talk yes
terday of another man being selected
as the pastor of the church here, but
his name has not as yet been announc-
ed. The Milwaukee church is anxious
to have Rev. Maniton returned for an
other year, and the ministers of the
Appleton District have requested Mr..
Farmer to remain in his present posi-
ton, but if sufficient pressure is
brought to bear one of them will be
sent to Kenosha.

HORSE THIEF GETS FUNNY.
will Restore Two Horses Day as Long as
His Stolen Stable Holds Out.


Chief of Police Newhouse and Jay
Bailey were in Chicago yesterday
seeking horse which had been stolen
from Mr.. Bailey more than year ago,
and in their search they managed to
unearth horse thief who may solve
many of the mysteries attending the
disappearance of horses from this
county in the last year.
The man in question is something of
wag. He is confined at the bastile
known as the Chicago Avenue Station,
and while he refuses to disclose his
name, he talks freely of his many
crimes and intersections. He admits
that he has been in the horse thief
business in Wisconsin on an elaborate
scale. He claims he has been operat-
ing in this section of the country for
over year, and in that time he has
stolen eight horses, fifty five sets of
harness and any number of buggies
and two wheeled vehicles. The police
of Chicago have taken the oman at his
word and gone him one better, as they
claim that he has stolen five hundred
horses. The man claims that he will
give up the horses at the rate of two
day, until he has disclosed all his
crimes. Bai1ey's horse is'sone of the
number that was stolen and he expects
to get possession of him on next Mon
day.
The self confessed horsethief is also
accused of taking a buggy from the
barn of Thomas Lee, of Western I'm
ion Junction on the same night that he
held the halter strap which led away
the horse owned by Bailey. This bug
pv has been found in the hands of
doctor in Chicago, and action has been
started to secure possession of it.
The identity of the self sconfessed
horsethief is the mystery in the case,
and he is claimed to have been resi-
dent of this part of the State. He
claims to have been twice sent to pris-
on for crimes, and states that at one
time he broke jail.
The man was not knownsto the local
officers, and they could find no trace of
him here. During the past year quite
a number of horses have been stolen in
this neighborhood and no trace of the
guilty parties has been found. It is
more than probable that the self CON
fessed thief in Chicago, will be able to
clear up some of these problems.

Mary Bailey starkweatner, A Pioneer
Settler Died Wednesday Night.

4 60Gtl03 Ul00 WO0u0BU4y NA80b'
Universal sorrow was caused in this
city Thursday by the announce
ment of the death of Mrs. Mary Bailey
Starkweather, widow of the late Jared
B. Starkweather and one of the best
knownsof the early settlers OF the city.
The final summons came shortly be-
fore eleven O'Clock Wednesday even
ing when, surrounded by her children,
Mrs. Starkweather dropped to sleep IN
the sleep that knows no awakening.
The end was peaceful. For several
weeks Mrs. Starkweather had been
sinking and three days ago she was
forced to take to her bed. Death resulted
from general failing of the heart ac-
ton.
The death Of Mrs. Starkweather
marks the passing of one OF the best
known and most universally beloved
women in Kenosha. For more than
half century she had resided in Ke-
nosha and had taken an active part in
the life of the city.
The deceased was born at Albion,
New York, September Is, 1917. She
was married to J. B. Starkweather at
Albion in 1888. In the spring of 1847
Mr.. and Mrs. Starkweather came to
Kenosha and after few months they
removed to the house on Chicago street
where the death of Mrs. Starkweather
occurred Wednesday evening.
During her long life in Kenosha
Mrs. Starkweather has been prom1-
nent1y connected with church work.
A consistent christian woman when
she came to Kenosha she became one
of the founders of the Park avenue M.
E. church society and throughout her
long life she remained one of the main
supporters of the church. The last of
the noble race of founders in the
church in her latter years she took
great interest in its welfare and IN her
death Park avenue church has lost one
of its strongest supporters.
Mrs. Starkweather was a splendid
type of noble christian womanhood
and her cheerful disposition and con-
secrated life were an inspiration to all
with whom she came in contact.
The deceased is survived by son,
Fillmore 6. Starkweather, of Evans
ton, and two daughters, Mrs. E. Il.
HOLSTER, of this city, and Mrs. Henry
FL. Marcusson, of LAGRANGE, Ill. One
sister, the last of a family OF six, is
Mrs. E. H. Kellogg, who resides in
Hyde Park.
The funeral was held from the
late residence of the deceased on Chi
cago street on Friday afternoon at
half past three CLOCK. The services
were in charge of the Rev. S. W.
Nay1or. The remains were inferred
in the Starkweather plat at the city
cemetery.
