Prominent Society Woman of this City is
Divorced from Judge H. D. Laughlin.

Prominent Society Woman of this City is
Divorced from Judge II. D. Laughlin.
Kenosha society will be considerably
interested III knowing that Mrs. Nellie
H. Laugh1in, who formerly resided on
Park avenue in this city, and who was
well known in social circles, has Sc
cured a decree of absolute divorce from
her husband, Judge H. D. Laughlin, of
Chicago.
The decree was granted by Judge
Spencer at ST. Louis yesterday after
Mrs. Laughlin had changed her bill so
as to exclude the sensational charges
which she had made against the hus-
band, on account of the social position
attained by Miss Hester Laughlin, the
daughter of Mrs. Laugh1in who is still
well known among the younger society
of Kenosha.
The ground for divorce, as stated in
the complaint, was desertion, but it is
claimed that had the judge made any
effort to fight the case the charges
would have been much more severe.
The Laughlins lived happily togeth-
er for some years, but later Mr.. Laugh
lin secured a home for his family in
Kenosha while he made his home in
Chicago. 1t was during this time that
the troubles which led to a divorce
arose, and the family has not been
united for several years. A short time
ago it was reported that the wife had
sued for divorce in this county, but
an examin alton of the records showed
that the divorce had been sought by
another Mrs. Laughlin, who was the
wife of cabinet maker and not the
wife of the wealthy hotel owner.
Mrs. Laughlin and her daughter
will make their home in St. Louis
where both are now prominent,
socially.

RECOVER STOLEN GOODS
John Dalay and Peter Sullivan Arrested in
Racine and will Be Returned for Trial.

John Da1ay and Peter Sullivan, the
two men arrested in Racine yesterday
morning on charge of burglary, will
probably be brought to Kenosha later
on to ansN er to charge of petit lar
ceny. Officers O'Hare and Newhouse
went to Racine Wednesday afternoon
and took look at the fellows. When
the two men were put into the sweat
box the Kenosha officers had little
trouble in discovering that they we're
the two men who had stolen two coats
from clothing store in this city. The
men refused to tell what had become of
the stolen property, but when it was
stated that they would be brought back
to Kenosha for trial they changed their
minds and told the officers where the
coats could be found. Later in the af-
ternoon the Chief and Officer New
house went to one of the Racine sa-
looms and got the property.
The two men were bound over to an
swer a charge of burglary and as
soon as they have settled with the
state for this offense they will be re-
arrested and brought to Kenosha to
answer a minor ofense of petit lar
ceny.
The property taken by the two men
has been restored to it's owner.

A MIDNIGHT BLAZE.
Fire Causes Serious Damage to Home OF
John Arentz of Congress Street.

The fire department was called out
shortly before midnight Wednesday
evening on account of fire in house
owned by John AREN'T at the corner of
Broad and Congress street. The fire
had been smou1dering for some time
when it was discovered, and on this &C
count the house had been badly dam
aged before the fire department reached
the scene. In a short time the water
had been turned on and the fire was
extinguished.
There was wild rumor af1oat that
the owner of the house was in the
burning building and as he could not
be found the rumor gained circulation
rapidly, After the fire had been ex-
tinguished AREN'T appeared. His loss
is placed at abont $3.50. The origin of
the fire is not definitely known. The
house was being repaired and fire
had been left in the house by the owner
about nine O'Clock. It is thought pos
sible that match was dropped or that
a coal fell from the stove and started
the blaze.

John C. Slater Starts His Petitions as
a Candidate for County Judge
This Morning.
CLERK MALONEY REFUSES TO RUN
Maloney Prefers to Remain in His Present
Position and So Announces His De-
c1sion to Quit the Race.

The race for the county judgeship is
fight between Judge Russell H. Slosson,
the present incumbent of the Office,
and John c. Slater, at present a justice
Of the peace. The lines of the cam
pa1gn were mapped out this morning
when Justice Slater began sending out
petitions of nomination for the office.
Other candidates for the office have all
retired to make way for the two lead
ers.
It was thought last evening that
J. B. Ma1oney, at present clerk of the
circuit court, would be candidate for
the office, but this morning he an
nounced his determination to quit the
race and allow the other aspirants to
fight it out without opposition.
Mr.,S1ater was seen at his Office this
morning and stated that he was in the
race to stay. He has sent his petitions
broadcast throughout the county and
they will undoubtedly be very largely
signed.
Both Mr.. Slosson and Mr.. Slater are
to be nominated on non-partisan
ticket, and at meeting held by them
this morning they decided that politics
should not in any way be used for
eitherscandidate. Each man will stand
upon his merits and the fight promises
to be bitterly contested.
Mr.. Slater has been justice of the
peace in this city for many years, and
IA "a
County Judge several times in the
past. He isspopu1ar with his associates
at the barsand is lawyer of ability.
He will have considerable strength in
the city, lbut as yet his strength in the
country districts is regarded as con-
siderab BILE of aproblem.
Judge Slosson will stand upon his
record. He has an advantage over
his opponent in having started IN the
race early. For several weeks the petit
tons of Judge S1osson have been in
the county and have been largely
signed.
The contest has now narrowed down
to the two men and both are well quail
fled for the office, and with a perfectly
comparison contest either may be ex-
pected to win. twill largely be con-
test as to which man is the most popu-
lar with the voters. For the next three
weeks the campaign will be a spirited
one.
In regard to his retirement from the
race Mr.. Ma1oney has given out the
following statement of his reasons for
rot allowing his name to be added to
the list of candidates:
"While highly approaching the in
terest shown by my friends and the
press, in mentioning my name for the
office of County Judge in the coming
election, wish to state that am not
candidate. JOHN B. MALONEY."

McVICKER'S TBEATER.
Monte Cristo," With James o'Ne1ll as
the Star, is the Attraction.

Everything that ingenuity and the
lavish expenditure of money can do for
play has been done for the Liebler q
Co. production of ''Monte Cristo," now
running at McVicker's theatre, Ch1ca-
go, with James O'Nei11 in his famous
Characterization of Edmond Dantes
and the count of Monte Cristo. Mr..
O'Neil1's name is so closely associated
with the great Dumas here that is hard
to believe any one, but he, should ever
attempt to play the character, and
when the superb acting of Mr.. O'Ne11l
is seen in con junction with a company
which all of the New York, Boston and
Chicago critics have pronounced the
best that ever appeared in this play,
and the most magnificent stage set
ting which has yet been built for
"Monte Cristo" it will be seen that the
McVicker's attraction is one of super
1ative merit. The tremendous scenes
of the play are the forbidding and fear
some dungeons of the Chateau DIFF;
the wonderful golden ball room in the
Hotel de Morcerf and the beautiful
forest OF Fonta1neOleu are gOtten up
without regard to cost. An innova-
ton in the setting of the Chateau DIFF
scene permits the audience to see not
only the lonely cells of the prisoners,
but also the ramparts with their guards
on watch, and the boiling sea as it
throws its angry waves against the
side of the castle walls. This scene
changes to the open sea where, after
he cuts himself free from the sack
in which he has escaped, Dantes, the
lonely prisoner battles with the waves
and storm, and wins to liberty and the
prospect of vengeance on those who
have wronged him. The effect of the
fearful storms, Dantes' struggle with
fate, and his prospective rescue as the
pirate craft sweeps in to save him, are
electrical, and audiences stand up and
cheer.

She Makes Corn Hu,k Dolls.

Miss Nellie Morrison, Of Salina,
Kansas, is making fortune by max
ing dolls from corn husks. Her trade
extends all over the United States and
Europe. When a child she made
these dolls for her little friends. The
demand was so great that she sold
them for 70 cents each. Now she is
20 years old and sells the dolls by the
hundred at the same price. The first
corn carnival held in Atchison in 1895
brought Miss Murphy prominently
before the public. Her dolls exhib-
tied there leaped at once into popular
favor and she received more orders
than she could possibly fill. She has
never been able to find an assistant
who could put the corn husks togeth-
er as skilfully as she herself does the
work. She is kept ousy day and
night supplying the demand. She
has sent the queer dolls to Germany
and France and recently shipped a
large lot to England. She says she
does not know exactly how many
dolls she has made, bnt the number
would run into the thousands.
Miss Morrison uses about as many
husks as are found on an ordinary ear
OF corn to make each doll. The cob
serves as the body. The face is COW
e-ed with husk and the features
painted on.-[Chicago Cronicle.

SEES A NEW MANAGER.
Topeka Journal Recognizes j, B
Cases Influence,

The Topeka State Journal, a pro-
nounced anti.Burton paper, contained
the following yesterday:
"Somehow there is a story going
around that Burton has new boss.
j. B. Case, an old friend Of the sena.
tors from his home town Of Abilene,
is getting popular credit Of holding
exaggerated powers. One Topeka
citizen pointed out Case to another
on the street yesterday with this
comment: "That's J. B. Case, Of
Abilene, Burtons boss. Whatever
he says to Burton goes He's rich
and a big man at Abilene. Mr.. Case
is a prosperous Abilene merchant
He has been q close friend to Burton.
He is counted a "good Injun,' a horse
lover, but has not trotted conspicuous
ly in the political class heretofore.
Case was included in the exclusive
conference held in M. A. Lows office
last night. Whether M. A. Low Is
inclined to share his influence with
Burton with his friend Case Is
problematical. Low, Case, State
Treasurer Frank Grimes and Dave
Mulvane comprised the coterie Of
political giants that talked over the
federal appointments from 5 O'Clock
till midnight in Mr.. Lows office last
night. The end Of the confab none
Of the conierees would give out any
information. Every one Of the
places and candidates in the list was
thoroughly gone over, however. The
state that Senator Burton has pre-
pared Is said to have suited Mr.. Low.
1t Is also said to have suited Mr..
Case"
The Journal Is a little slow In
recognizing Mr. Case as political
factor in state politics. As chairman
Of the Fifth district Republican
central committee he has "trotted"
rather more "conspiciously In state
politics than that paper has realized.
1t has never been understood that
Mr.. Burton had "nanager" nor Is
he likely to need one now, but as a
close friend and aslute advisor be has
found Mr.. Case q valuable aid for
many years and no one man in the
state has exerted more influence in
bis behalf.
