Some members Of the Washington stock
exchange are of the opinion that a day of
outing would be pleasing change in the

Adams, was resumed before the court of
appeals today. Ex-senator David B. Hiil.
for the people, made a number of additions
to the authorities and decisions referred to
in his brief. and then took up the question
Of the guilt of the defendant, reminding
the court that not once In its argument had
the other side avowed the innocence of the
accused. He insisted that it had been
proved by overwhelming evidence that Mol
ineux had written the letters and the ad-
dress on the poison package, and that his
guilt is clearly established.
He said it was not material who bought
the bottle-holder. and drew attention to the
fact that Cellar, Molneux's friend and as
sistant, had never set foot in New York
after the arrest Mr.. Hill also. dwelt upon
the fact that Molineux was a chemist and
described his laboratory and the poisons
which 1t contained.
Where was the man." he exclaimed,
who had the opportunity that he had to
poison his enemies
Molineux Victim of Disease.
Mr.. Hill pictured Molineux a sufferer
from maiady which made him melan-
choly, reviewed the trouble at the Knicker-
booker Athletic Club and pictured Moiineux
as plotting for revenge. He insisted that
every circumstance In the case linked Moli-
neux to- the crime, including the fact that
he had hired a lawyer and engaged hand
writing expert before suspicion against him
had shaped itself.
The defense said he, went through
the trial casting suspicion right and left
without reason or system, merely seeking
to avert It from their CLIENT

testified to the handwriting" answered Mr..
Hill, "and by the facts they present them
selves. They complete chain of circum-
stantial evidence that left but one avenue

Mr.. Hill then discussed. the admissability
of the Barnet testimony. arguing that the
Barnet and Adams cases were so closely
interviewer that it was impossible to sep
arate them. He cited the admission of the
threat to poison in the Carlyle Harris case
as authority for the use of the Barnet evi-
dence. He also argued that the forgery OF
the names of Barnet and Cornish and the
interception of their mail was criminal, and
that the state had alright to show them.

brow. and Mrs. Starring. admitting that
she was very nervous, inquired anXiously of
the United States attorney if it would be
necessary for her to take the stand again
this morning.
The attendance today was the largest of
any day since the trial began, the throng
In the court room including a number of
women and many members Of the bar.
Standing room was at a premium, although
deputy marshals were stationed at the en-
frances to limit the ingress to those who
could give a satisfactory reason why they
should be admitted.
At the conclusion of half an hour of very
spirited dialogue between counsel and the
witness. the opposing counsel. and in one
instance between counsel and the court
Mrs Starring was excused from further
questioning

After some preliminary queries Attorney
Lipscomb. soon after the opening of court
this morning, referred to the bicycle trou-
sers worn by the defendant the 7th of May
Mrs. Starring stated that when he returned
after leaving her near the Zoo she noticed
rent in Monroe's trousers. What counsel
claimed to be the same trousers were pro-
duced and the witness was asked to point
out the tear She could not do So
Mrs. Starring hesitated over certain OF
the questions put by Attorney Lispcomb,
and the latter admonished her that the law
required her to answer the inquiries. This
caused United States Attorney Gould to
remark that 1t was not proper for Attorney
LipScomb to instruct the witness as to the
law. After considerable parleying Attorney
Lipscomb remarked warmly:
Il have known trials during which coun-
sci for the defense have had some rights"
Does counsel mean to intimate that the
rights or anybody connected with this case
are denied?" the court demanded to know.
Certainly not, promptly declared Attor-
ney LipScomb.
Mrs. Starring next asked whether
or not, some years ago, when crossing the
English channel. she introduced herself to
some cultured passengers on the steamer
as Mrs. General Starring; whether or not
she asked the parties to take to New York
for her a family heirloom, diamond

the parties, on reaching New York found
the stones intrusted to them by the wit
ness to be cheap paste limitations of dia-

SENSATION IN SALEM
Frank OIar Claims That His Wife
Has Fled With a HandsOmer Man
and Seeks a Divorce.
HUSBAND ALLEGES ABDUCTION
Claims That the Wife Went to His House
and Took the Little Daughter
During His Absence.

Gossips in the little town of Salem,
in the western part of the county, have
found a sweet morse1 in the divorce
case of Eliza beth O1ar VS.. Frank Olar,
both we'll known residents of the town.
The summons in the case was issued
Friday and the trial promises to be one
of the most sensational ever heard in
this county. The wife alleges drunk
enness aud failure to provide, and IN
counter claim the husband alleges that
the wife has not been true to her mar
rage vows, that she has left his home
and gone with a handsomer man, and
that she attempted to abduct one OF
the children of the union.
O1ar and his wife have been married
some twelve years and have four chill
dren. Some time ago it seems that
man named Brown came to Salem to
work for the ice companies having
houses on the lake in the neighbor-
hood. He became we'll acquainted
with Mrs. O1ar and the acquaintance
grew to such an extent that she finally
consented to leave her happyEhone for
Brown and the husband alleges that
the two went together to Chicago,
where Mrs. O1ar is now residing. She
returned to her home short time ago
and during the absence of her husband
she went to the home and took one of
the children, a girl II years old, and
brought her to this city to make her
home The husband discovered the
hiding place of the child and came and
took her back home with him, but she
had hardly reached the parental roof
when the mother appeared and
brought her back to Kenosha.
O1ar is said to be well off and the
wife will seek to recover heavy a1imony
as we'll as the custody of the children.
Henry Hastings will represent the
wronged wife in the action, and A. E.
Buckmaster will look after the inter-
ests of the down trodden husband.

Margaret of Anjou and Queen Eliza
beth and Women of Their Times
Discussed by WOman's Club.
LAST HISTORICAL PAPER READ.
Miss Madeleine Newell Writes Most Elk
ce1lent Paper-Annual Meeting
to Be Held in Two Weeks.

Wednesday afternoon the Woman's
club met in regular session and the
ladies had the pleasure of listening to
one of the most carefully prepared and
beautifully written papers ever deliv-
cred before the club. Miss Butler, of
Kemper Hall, read the essay and by
her rendition brought out all the
charms of Miss Newe11's paper.
The subject, "The Women of the
PERIOD" included the most famous of
the women from the time of Margaret
of Arion down to the time of Queen
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Churchill, her daughter,
Catherine of Aragon, Anne Bo1eyn,
Katherine Parr, Anne Neville, Cicely
Neville, Lady Jane Grey, Mary Ludor
and Mary Stuart were all discussed,
and their characters were shown forth
like pictures in frame. Their homes
and the circumstances of their lives
were described, showing in many cases
the causes and development of certain
of their characteristics. The author
was exceedingly generous to their
TaultS ana LAVISH III praise OF the1I
virtues.
One of the topics for discussion was:
The women who have been immortal
lied by Shakespeare, or the women
from the humber walks in life, and
their lives and characters.
Another topic discussed was the
castles occupied by many of the royal
ladies and their mysteries.
The subject for the next and last
meeting of the club is, GLOW Shall the
Moral Sense be Developed in the
Child? by Mrs. Alma Rob1ee.

SG0urge is Feared Among the AMI
mails Owned by Pleasant Prairie
Farmers.
STATE OFFICIALS ARE NOTIFIED
One Farmer Had Five Cases of the Disease
and One of the Hogs Had Been Killed
Police Prevent It's Sale to People.

Hog cholera has been discovered in
the town of Pleasant Prairie and it is
feared that many hogs kept by farmers
in the town have been exposed to the
contagion. Some days ago traces of
the disease were discovered in a herd
belonging to G.. Fritzen near O'Neils
corners and as Fritzen has over two
hundred hogs he was unwilling to risk
it and one of the hogs was killed yes
terday. It was reported that the hog
would be offered for sale to Kenosha
meat dealers and Chief of Police
O'Hare, Officer Newhouse and Alder
man Smith went to the home of Frit-
zen last night to make an examination
of the case.
Fritzen declared that there was but
one case of cholera on the farm and
that the hog had been killed, but one
of the boys declared that five hogs had
already been taken with the disease
and were being kept apart from the
rest of the herd. The meat of the dead
hog was at once condemned by the po-
lice and it will be destroyed. The

measures to prevent the spread of the
disease in the county. The state
officials have been notified and it is
probable that the state veterin arian
will come to Kenosha the early part of
next week and examine the herd re-
ported to be affected with cholera.
It is supposed that the disease was
brought to this county by load of
stock hogs recently received, number
of which were purchased by Fritzen.
It has been long time since the farm
ers of this county were troubled with
ravages Of hog cholera and in the last
few years there has not been case re-
ported in the county. There are sew
era1 thousand hogs in the county and
should the disease become general it
would amount to the loss of many
thousands of dollars to the farmers.
AS yet not a single case has been re-
ported from other parts of the county
and the prompt action taken by the
officials will probably result in the pre-
vention of the spread of the disease.

Study Includes AutomobiIism.

The higher education now includes
the study of automobiIism. The au-
thorities Of the city Of Poitiers,
France, which seems to be a very
modern place, have been the first to
introduce this new element into the
curriculum. A professor Of AUTOMOBILE
ism has been appointed by the munich
pality, who will give weekly public
lectures on the subject in the town
hall. His tuition will be historical,
theoretical, and practical. The lectures
will, in particular, be devoted to tech
nical explanation of different types Of
motor engines in use. They will also
deal especially with the driving of
cars, and the teacher will give hints
for travelling on the road. It is ex-
pected that pupils will flock to the
Poitiers professor from all over the
country.

PRAIRIE AVENUE CITIZENS KICK.

The citizens of Prairie avenue are
making a vigorous kick against the
fruit stand of Tony Mangan located at
the corner of Ashland avenue. Tony,
who in past years has been satisfied
with a modest little stand, is begin
ming to branch out and the branches
of his store are being constructed of
dry goods boxes and waste material of
all sorts. The result is obvious. The
stand now looks like the rear end of
an Italian tenement house and the
aristocratic Prairie avenue residents
are kicking. They claim that they
have spent large amounts of money in
improving the street and that the
stand of the Italian is a nuisance.
The council should take some action
to force the ever present Tony to re-
tire to one of the back streets or to
take a room on Main street and carry
on his business like the other mer-
chants.

HoLD-UP MAN SENTENCED.
Tried to Rob william Lois, of wheatland,
in the Western Part of the County.

Leonard Williamson, claiming to be
a member of we'll known family IN
Milwaukee, was arraigned in the cir
cult court before Judge Fish this after
noon on charge of attempting to hold
up William Lois, a resident of the
town of Wheatland. The hold-up was
one of the most daring ever attempted
in this county and the young man en-
tered plea of guilty to the charge and
was sentenced to serve four years
sentence in the state prison at Wau-
pun. There is another charge against
the man and this will be given hear
ing after the sentence on the present
charge has been served.
Williamson came to Henosha from
Chicago few days ago and since he
came to the county he has managed
to make things very interesting for the
people of the town of Wheatland. On
last Tuesday evening he went to
Genoa Junction and went into hard
ware store owned by F. Reynolds. He
asked to look at a revolver stating that
he wanted to purchase ore. After he
had looked the revolver over he asked
for few cartridges and continued to
fill the gun up.
When the gun had been filled with
cartridges he turned it upon the pro-
prietor of the store and forced him to
give up all the va1uab1es to be found
in the place. He fled from Genoa
Junction and went to the village of
New Munster, where the ho1d-up of
Lois occurred on the following eve
ming. A short time after this crime
posse started after Williamson and
managed to capture him at Mayfair.
He was brought to this city and asked
to be allowed to plead guilty to the
charge against him.
The fellow is evidently of a good
family and he declared that this was
his first crooked work. He stated at
the jail this afternoon that he was
very anxious that his name should not
be mentioned in the papers as he was
to have been married to a we11-known
young lady in Chicago within a few
weeks.
The officers of the county seem con-
WINGED that the fellow is a shrewd
criminal, but they have not been able
to solve the mystery of his identity.
