J. ConIey, Chicago PeddIer, Meets
a Terrible Death Under a North
western Train at Middle st.
BODY WAS TERRIBLY MANGLED
Man had Been Walking Along Track When
He Was Struck by the 500 Passenger
Train and Instantly Killed.

]. Con1ey, peddler supposed to be
from Chicago, met with a terrible
death on the tracks of the Northwest
ern Railway company near the Middle
street crossing this morning shortly
after 8 O'Clock. Conley had been
walking along the right of way of the
company, and in seeking to avoid a
north bound freight train he stepped
on the track directly in front OF the
south bound passenger. The train
was moving at a terrific speed and the
body of Con1ey was hurled high into
the air and almost every bone broken.
Several people in the neighborhood
saw the accident and one of the passeTs
by attempted to warn the peddler of
his danger, but the warning came too
late to allow him to retrace his steps
and save his life.
The trainmen saw the man on the
track, and the train was brought to so
quick a stop that the passengers were
thrown from their seats, but the train
failed to stop before Grand avenue was
reached and the mang1ed body OF Con-
ley had been hurled into the ditch at
the side of the track.
Coroner Frank B. Lansdowne was
called and empane1ed jury to view
the remains. An examipatio showed
that the man had sustained fracture
of both legs and had his skull frac-
tured. He was covered with blood,
which flowed freely from wound in
his face.
The remains were taken up and con-
veyed to the morgue and the coroner
will hold an inquest this afternoon as
soon as the officials of the train can
come to the city to give evidence in
the case. The jury will probably find
a verdict of accidental death.
Con1ey5s remains are still at the
Hansen under taking establishment.
He seems to be a man of about twenty
seven years of age and had been ped
ding needles. He was identified by
pedd1er's license and by a membership
card showing that he was member of
the First Ward Democratic club of
Chicago.
Efforts are being made to locate the
friends and relatives of the man, but
thus far no trace of them has been
found.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustacl AN tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the infanma'
ton can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Ha1l's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free

Saturday night was a gala night
among the Swedish residents Of the

chapter of Society Svea. The reunion
and banquet was one of the most en-
joyao1e in the history of the society.
Central Music Hall was turned into a

wealth of palms and potted plants.
Long tables were stretched the length
of the hall and they were artistically
decorated with carnations and ferns.

lasted until after II O'Clock. 1t was
served by Kingsley, of Chicago.
After the dinner had been served
short time speeches were made by
we'll known Swedish residents of the
city and the surrounding towns. DR..
Paul Malmstrom made the address of
welcome and read the annual poem.
Axel Langren, president of the
society, also made a short address, but
the address Of the evening was deliv-
cred by Attorney A. E. Buckmaster,
who spoke of the work which was be-
ing done by the Swedish American
residents of Kenosha.
After the speeches were over the
tables were removed from the hall, and
the remainder of the evening was
given over to dancing and pleasant
social intercourse. Jacoby & Comp
toms orchestra furnished the music.
The grand march, which began at
II O'Clock, was led by Miss Edith Win
berg and DR.. Paul Ma1mstrom.
Fully two hundred guests were pres
ent at the banquet and dance. Among
them were many we'll known Swedish
residents of Chicago, Waukegan, Mil
waukee and Racine.

HAS A HOT TIME.
officer John orth has Two Fights While
Clearing the Streets.

Officer John Orth is evidently get
ting his share of hard knocks in his
capacity as police officer, and since
Saturday night he had two hard ar
rests.
On Saturday evening terrible
Swede," whose real name could not be
secured, ran amuck on Main street and
Officer Orth proceeded to put him under
arrest. The fellow resisted and made
a hard fight, but he was finally landed
behind the bars.
Sunday night the second trouble &C.
Cured. Two we'll known young men
of the city had been visiting the
saloons until they were filled up with
bad mixtures, and starting out on the
street they became hilarious and pro-
ceeded to take in the town. They ran
into the Main street officer, who, with
the assistance of Officer Lane, pro-
ceeded to put stop to the celebration.
Both boys attempted to resist arrest,
but they were finally forced to submit
to the stern hand of the law. They
were fined a dollar and costs on
charge of disorder1y conduct.

Pearl Wild and Lizzie R0SChelle OF
Racine Spend Few Hours in
Ken0sha Jail Monday.
WERE MISSING FOR THREE WEEKS
Girls Had Left Their Homes in Racine and
Had Started Out to See the world
Decided to Return Home.

| Lizzie Rosche1le and Pearl Wild, two
Racine girls aged fifteen and sixteen
| years, were arrested in this city yes
terday afternoon by Officer Fe1dschau'
The girls were placed in the county
| Jail awaiting the action of the Racine
officers. The two girls disappeared
from their homes in Racine some three
weeks, ago and in that time they had
managed to see a great deal of the
world. In the meantime the police of
the different cities in the state had
been searching for them and had not
been able to find any trace of their
whereabouts.
When the girls were arrested they
went with the officer and made no OBJ
iections to being locked in the county
Jail. Once in a cell in the woman S
department they laughed and talked
like old offenders and seemed to
care little for the sight of prison walls.
They remained in the Jail for several
hours, and in the meantime the chief
of police at Racine was notified of
their capture. He came to Kenosha at
once accompanied by the father of one
of the girls There was little greet
ing at the Jail, and the girl surprised
by the appearance of her father broke
down entirely and consented to return
to the parental roof. The other girl
seeing no other course open decided
to take a similar action.
To one of their friends in Kencsha
the girls stated that they had been see
ing the world. With a limited capital
of few cents they had been to Chi
cago and Milwaukee, and from the
stories they must have seen all that
was worth seeing in the two cities.
When Milwaukee and Chicago proved
unkind they returned to Kenosha and
had been in the city for several days
when they were arrested.
1t is said that the girls are members
of respectable families in Racine and
their disappearance caused quite stir
a few weeks ago. 1t is probable that
efforts will be made to have the girls
declared incorrigib1e and sent to the
State Reform school. The girls made
several friendships while in Kenosha
and it is stated that some of these
friends will be called upon to answer
for their actions while in Kenosha.

Manager AIIeman of the KenOsha Team
Secures Grounds and BIeachers
Win Be Erected at Once.
FIVE YEAR LEASE HAS BEEN TAKEN
Grounds will Be Placed in Fine Condition
and Will Be Ready For the Opening
on Decoration Day.

After weeks of fruitless search for
desirable ball grounds Manager Ed.
Alleman has closed a deal with Mr..
John Corcoran by which a five year
lease of a splendid five acre piece of
land has been secured, located just
southwest of the knitting works.
Surveyors are a work upon the ground
today, and active preparations for the
erection of a grand stand and b1eachers
will be under way this week. A high
board fence will enclose the grounds,
the outfe1d will be leve1ed and rolled,
the diamond skinned and, in fact,
every thing necessary done to make it
a perfect ball field.
The home team is already in active
practice and will be a strong aggrega-
ton from the start. Manager Allie
man is sparing neither time, trouble
nor expense to secure good men, and
local lovers of the national game will
have no cause to blush for their towns
ball tossers. It has been decided to
have the grand opening of the grounds
on Decoration day, upon which occa-
sion the Cream City team of Mi1wau
kee will be our guests and our oppo-
nents. A band of twentyfour pieces
has already been engaged for that day
and theirsmusic will be heard before
and during the games. Free busses
will be run to and from the grounds
upon that day.
The officers of the club are Ed. c.
A11eman, president and manager, and
w. J. Swift secretary and treasurer,
and with two such pushers there is no
question of the success of the venture.
The members of the team are enthusi-
astic and eager to get to work. They
have chosen as their club name "The
Kenosha Athletics"
Mr.. Swift is already in correspond.
ence with some of the strongest teams
in this state and Illinois and he prom
Uses great sport for the coming summer
months. Our people who love this
nob1est of out door games should give
the boys their loyal support.

CLEANED THE WE'LL.
Workmen Take Twelve Pounds of Fish
From the Well at the Power House.

Workmen Take Twelve Pounds of Fish
From the Well at the Power House.
1t was house cleaning day for the
men employed at the city power house
yesterday and the large wells furnish
ing the city water supply were enptied
and cleaned out. The wells were in
good condition and little dirt and filth
were found by the workmen. The
usual catch of fish is registered.
Fifteen fat fish were taken from the
well and the catch weighed little
over twelve pounds. The fish had all
entered the we'll when very small, but
had grown rapidly. The largest fish
found in the well was lawyer nine
teen inches in length, weighing about
four pounds. The fish had managed
to make their way into the well
through the intake.
The old rock bass which has been IN
the we'll for several years was left Sc
cure. The bass is now grown to be
mammoth fish and it is thought that
he weighs over eight pounds. The
waterworzs men claim that the big
bass keeps the we'll clear of all smaller
fish.

ST. GEORGE CELEBRATES.
Thirty Eighth Anniversary of the Found
ing of the Society Celebrated

The st. George Benevolent society
of St. George church passed the thirty
eighth mile stone in its existence as
society Monday. In honor of the an
niversary a reception was given last
evening at Columbia hall. The hall was
pretti1y arranged for the reception and
many of the members of the society,
together with their wives and chill
dren, were present. During its long
existence the st. George society has
taken in many of the best known resi-
dents of the north side and they were
out in force to celebrate the anniver-
sary. More than two hundred guests
were present and spent the evening
with the members of the society.
In the early hours of the evening
/ musical entertainment was given by
the E1sen band. The St. George male
chorus also furnished a number of
vocal selections. Speeches were made
by former officers of the society among
the speakers being Frank Erich, who
had the honor of being the first presi-
dent OF the society. George Zeven, the
present president of the society, also
made a few remarks telling of the
great growth of the society in the
thirty-eight years. Towards the close
of the evening refreshments were
served and the entertainment closed
with an informal dancing party.
The committee in charge of the cele-
bration consisted of Messrs. George
Zeven, john Thome, Charles F. Boer-
ner. Albert Zens and John Zeven.

TO LICENSE BICYCLE RIDERS.
City Council to be Asked to Consider New
Plan to Secure Funds for Clean Streets.

The old scheme to license bicycle
riders is being revived by some of
the members of the City Council. The
city now has in the neighborhood of
three thousand bicycle riders, and
with license of one dollar each suf-
fcient funds would be provided to Sc
cure the improvement of the streets of
the city for the entire year.
The licensing of bicycle riders has
been tried in other cities, and it has
proved to be entirely practical. One
of the aldermen stated this morning
that he would ask the Council to con-
slider the plan at an early date. The
license will not in any way visit
hardship on the riders of wheels, for
the money will all be spent in improv-
ing the streets and making them fit
for the use of the whee1men.
Many of the city's highways are now
impossible to the bicyc1ist, but the
passage of the license ordinance would
make it possible to place these streets
in perfect condition.

HAD A QUEER DELUsIoN.
Miss Minnie Hillman Had Spent the Most
of Her Time in Bed for Many Months.

Miss Minnie Hi1lman, well known
young lady of the town of Brighton.
was adiudged insane by Judge S1osson
in the county court this morning and
will be taken to the state asylum at
Oshkosh tomorrow morning. The
case of Miss Hi1lman is a peculiar one.
A short time ago an application was
made to have the young lady declared
insane, but she was adjudged sane.
Since that time she has 1abored under
a de1usion that she is about to die, and
as she declared that she wanted to die
in bed she refused to leave her bed.
This examination was made months
ago, and though the young lacy was
physically we'll she has spent most of
her time in bed. Her friends and rela-
tives have attempted to relieve her
of the delusion, but it has always been
necessary to use force to make the girl
leave her bed. Her insanity is sup
posed to have resulted from melan-
chO1ia

FATHER CLEARY SEES MIRACLE
Former Kenosha Priest Vouches Strange
Miracle Seen at Rome in Menominee.

There is excitement in Menon1inee
today over an alleged miracle in the
home of Antoine Chernock, poor
Pole, residing in a district known as
Muskrat City. Hundreds of persons
have been visiting the place to view
the strange manifestation of blood is
suing from the pictured wounds of a
painting of the Savior, and the more
devout have been praying before the
picture. It represents the browning of
the Blessed Virgin, and the figures of
Father, Son and Holy Ghost are
shown. Chernock states that he was
praying yesterday morning, when he
suddenly saw blood coming from the
wrist, heart, and foot of the Savior.
His other wrist and foot are not shown.
Chernock summoned his pastor, the
Rev. Father Papon, and the latter,
with the Rev. Father C1eary, formerly
of Kenosha, investigated the alleged
miracle. The attention of Bishop Els
also has been called to the manifesto
ton. Father C1eary is inclined to be-
1ieve it is due to natural causes, but
says miracle is possible. The blood
or red coloring matter is plainly visi-
BILE to the thousands who have visited
the place.
