Ihere is no doubt the federal authorities

Everybody has tried to run down every

The grief that smote the city so strong

ing seemed to grow, rather than to de-

the sole topic of discussion and there
were groups on the corners and in trent
of buildings where signs of mourning
were displayed. Not much was sad.
The citizens seemed to feel that words
were inadequate for the occasion and
muff1ed up their sorrow as best they
could. Frequent words of sympathy for
the invalid widow. to whom the gentle
husband was so devoted, were heard on
every side. The assassin was apparently
forgotten for the time being in the poig-
nant grief of the result of his dastardly
assault Words, no matter how bitte~,
could not express the feeling held toward
him by the Tnourners and for the most
part he was dismissed from their

The cali was issued this morning for
a meeting of the officers, directors and
stockholders of the Kenosha Street
Railway company which will be held
at the Office of G.. r. Mcdowell in this
city on the morning of December 4th.
This will be the most important meet
ing ever held by the men interested
in the company, for at this meeting
the stockholders will authorize the is
sue of bonds for the completion of the
road. The amount of the first issue of
bonds has not as yet been made public
but the amount will probably be about
$3.50, 900.
Provision has already been made for
the sale of the first issue of bonds and
they will all be purchased by B. ].
Arnold, the president of the company,
and will be taken as payment for the
work and money of Mr.. Arnold in the
completion of the road. A small block

With the issuance of these bonds Mr..
Arnold will have full control Of the
road, and while the other officers will
remain they will be simply fgure
heads in the management Of the road.
At the meeting the hrst of next
month other matters will be considered
and it is probable that some action
will be taken for the ere2tion of a
power house or for power stations for
the transmission of power Tor the
line.
It is reported that the company Ia
considering plan to secure power for
the operation of the road south Of
Waukegan and that an elaborate sta

"gTEVE NICK" rs DEAD.
Famous Indian Scout of the First wiscon.
sin Died Yesterday.

"Steve Nick" one of the most noted
scouts of the civil war, died at Groves
vile, a village near Chiffon, Nov. 10.
He was member of the Twenty-frst
Wisconsin cavalry, and did much gal
liant service through the entire war.
He was buried today near Chiffon.
Stephen Nicholas, as he was proper
~ named, was known to G. A. r. men
all over the country.
He was born in Rhode Island, and
was one of the few survivors of the IA
nous Narragansetts, who made such
desperate resistance to the whites $50
years ago. There are stories that he
was direct descendant of King Phil
lip, famed in the Pequod war, but it is
claim. He was a modest man, and not
inclined to talk of himself. He had
not been long in the regiment before
he became generally known, and re-
manned during the war one of the most
popular mem bers. He was man of
striking appearance, and illustrated in
his tall, erect form the best type of In
dian development.
There is tradition in the regiment
that ne killed eight Texas rangers in
the conflict at L'Anguille ferry, but
eight is good many. However, the
rebels who captured the few survivors
of the cavalry battalion, and Steve
among the number, were very bitter
against him for the desperate fight
which he had made; they brought out
wild pony, declaring that they would
tie him on the animals back and turn
him loose in the swamp, alleging that
Steve was a negro. The officers of the
battalion finally convinced them that
he was a full citizen of the United
States, of Indian descent, and they
spared his life, but gave him harsh
treatment until he was exchanged.
After the war Steve found several
years of congenia1 employment on cat
tie ranches in the West. He then re-
turned home and with prodiga1 gener-
osity gave the very considerable sum
of money which he had saved to the
old lady whom he called grand
mother" but whose only relationship
came through his adoption by her fam
lily when he was a child. He was a
good carpenter and faithful work
man, bnt had been disabled of late
years for active life through i'll health.
The death of Steve Nick has caused
a great deal of sorrow among the old
soldiers in Kenosha by whom he was
universally admired. The scout came
to Kenosha with the First Wisconsin
cavalry in 1861 and remained here un-
til the regiment left for the front. At
the last reunion of the regiment Mich
olas was not able to be present and a
purse was made up and sent to him to
assist in paying the expenses of his
last illness.

Members of Woman's Club Discuss Prose
Writers of Seventeenth Century.
The regular fortnight1y meeting of
the Woman's Club was held Wednes-
day afternoon at the club room in the
Gilbert M. Simmons Library. The
meeting was a most interesting one,
the topic being 'sThe Prose Writers of
the Seventeenth Century" The pa
per was read by Mrs. J. B. Draper,
who brought out the leading men of
the period in very interesting man
ner. After discussing the peculiar in
fuences of the Elizabethian period and
the men who had made it famous, Mrs.
Draper spoke more particularly of the
character and writings of Lord Fran
els Bacon, Sir Philip Sydney and Sir
Walter Raleigh.
The discussion, which was led by
Mrs. E. C. Theirs, was well taken and
brought out many interesting points
not touched in the paper. During the
discussion short speeches were made
by Rev. Florence Buck, Rev. Marion
Murdock and Mrs. William P. Robin
son. The meeting closed with the
usual cup Of tea, Misses Edith Brown
and Bessie Hurd pouring.
The next meeting of the club will be
held on December 4th, when Miss
Edna Farr will read paper on the
subject, ''The Birds of Wisconsin,"

PLEDGE A THOUSAND DOLLARS
Ladies of Baptist Church Pledge Liberal
Contribution to Building Fund.

Ladies of Baptist Church Pledge Liberal
Contribution to Building Fund.
The ladies of the First Baptist
church met at the home of Mrs. George
Yu1e on Park avenue Wednesday af-
ternoon for the purpose of discussing
plans for the erection of the new
church. A large majority of the la
dies of the congregation were in at
tendance at the meeting and after dis
cussing ways and means the ladies
voted to pledge themselves to give one
thousand dollars towards the rebuild
ing of the church. After the pledge
had been made one of the ladies pres
ent stated that she would agree to
make a gift of one-ha1f of this amount.
The ladies have made many plans to
raise the remaining five hundred dol
lars and it is probable that series of
very interesting entertainments will
be given for this purpose during the
next few weeks and months.
The loyalty of the ladies to the
church has caused considerable enthu-
siasm among the male members Of the
church and it is thought that the fund
for the new building will be raised
with little trouble.

O. E. Strauss of This City Sends a
Study TO the Emperor of Ger
many as Holiday Gift
A sTATUETTE WITH A HISTORY.
Father Of the Artist Started the Work
Year Ago for the First Kaiser.-New
Art Material Invented by Him.

Oscar Emil Strauss, a young Ger
man of this city, after twelve years of
work claims to have discovered sub
stance which will take the place of
marble in the construction of the
many articles needed for the manu-
facture of statuary and for house dec
oratiOns. The new compound is COM
posed of many chemicals, and when it
is wrought into form it gives a statue
resem bling white marble. The sub
stance has the creamy appearance of
a1abaster, and is as hard as adamant.
The inventor claims that it is almost
impossible to break the substance, and
when it has once been hardened into
form it will withstand the wearing of
the elements.
AS a result of his twelve years work
the inventor of the new substance has
completed half dozen pieces of stat
uary and to celebrate his final success
he has today sent to the Emperor of
Germany the first product of his art as
holiday rnemento. Strauss comes of
family of German artists. His faith
er before him was an artist and at one
time he was called in to decorate one
of the royal German palaces. AT this
time the father had been at work on
this new substitute for marble, and he
suggested that it be used in the deco
ration of the palace. The old Emperor
gave the man an audience, and took
the greatest interest in his work, but
the father died before he could COM
p1ete his figure, and since that time it
has been in the hands of the son. The
same figure with which thes father
was working when he died is now COM
p1eted, and it has been sent as gift to
the grandson of the old Kaiser with
letter explaining the peculiar Scircum-
stances attending the beginning land
the completion Of the work.
Together with the 1gift, Mrs. Strauss
has returned to the Emperor the orig
inal order which was given to.Ihis
father fourteen years ago and all the
papers connected with,the transaction.
In sending the mer1ento to Emperor
William, Mr.. Strauss has asked that it
be considered as gift from the loyal
OcIII1du natives IN hGnOSnd ana WIS
consin. With the small piece of stat
uary is sent a letter signed by num-
Der of the best known German resi-
dents of the city. The piece of statu-
airy in question is only a small head
done in the imitation marble and at
tached to large palette of quartered
oak. The reverse side of the palette is
completely covered with writing. Sew
era1peop1e in Kenosha who have seen
the work of Strauss have taken an in
terest in it and the young German is
planning to open small factory for
the manufacture of his substance. He
claims that in quantities the compound
can be produced very cheaply and that
it can be worked into all sorts of deco
rations by any ordinary sculptor. He
has not as yet placed the product on
the market but it will be offered for
sale as soon as the means for produc-
ton in quantity have been provided.
