Brother and Sister OF One Family Are
Married to a Brother and Sister
of Another Family.
PECULIAR WEDDING in SALEM.
Charles Fl. blanchard to Miss Marion Van
A1stine and Edwin Van Alstlne to
Miss Grace Z Blanchard.

The most unique wedding ever held
in Southern Wisconsin was celebrated
today at the home of Henry c. B1anch-
ard, in the town of Salem, when son
and daughter of Mr.. Blanchard were
united in marriage to a son and daugh-
ter of Mr.. Charles Van A1stine, of the
same village. The contracting parties
to the marriage ceremony were Charles
H. Blanchard and Miss Marion Van
A1stine, and Edwin J. Van Alstine and
Miss Grace E. Blanchard.
In honor of the double nuptial event,
the home of Mr.. Blanchard, where the
wedding occurred, was beautifully dec
Grated with plants and flowers, the
par1or in which the ceremony was per-
formed being respondent in wealth
of palms and carnations. The brides
were both attired in white and the
members of the two bridal parties en-
tered the par1or together and acted as
attendants and principals for both the
weddings. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Methodist minister of
Salem.
After the ceremony was over wed.
ding dinner was served and the newly
married couples held an informal re-
ception to their many friends.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Blanchard and
Mr. and Mrs. Van A1stine are well
known in the county and a host of
friends will be pleased to extend con-
gratulations.
Both couples will make their home
in Salem, and will be at home to their
friends after April LIST.
1t is stated on good authority that
this is the second time in the history
of the county, that two members OF
one family have been united in marri-
age to two members of another family,
but never in the history of the county
did such a union of families occur at
the same day and place. It will prob
ably be some time before the newly
welded couples will be able to figure
out their exact relationship to each
other, but in the end they will probably
discover that they are simply brother
and sister as well as brother-in law
and sister in-1aw.

THE POINT OF VIEW.
Principal Better of the Deming School aas
Something to say on Marble Playing.

I
Something to Say on Marble Playing.
In regard to the letter from the
President of the Board of Education,
and comments on the marble question
at the Deming school, will say that it
was wholly unnecessary, as the rule
had been changed last week before
that unfair criticism came out at all.
In my interview with the reporter
last Saturday did not give this point
away, but what / did say was this,
THAT while do not think much of a
playing for keeps game, yet if the
people wish it continued / would not
care SO much, but I 7O0WSd not allow
marbles to be dropped on the floor
every few minutes and rolling about
during school time
The rule was made after trying in
many ways and failing to stop the
nuisance in the school room, and with
out the slightest idea of its creating
any disturbance or opposition to the
rules of the schools or to the school
board.
A school is not only known by the
brilliant display of book knowledge
and high standings ON report cards,
but by the discipline and training of
the youthful nature also, and the form
ing of useful and business-like habits
that will go through life with their
owner; and with these objects in view
we, the teachers, have worked hard to
gain and maintain good discipline,
and such public opposition only tends
to tear down and destroy the discipline
of the schools and create rebellion
among the pupils.
The fact that the rule was enforced
on the North Side for the last three Or
four years without word of criticism
or opposition goes to show what can
be stirred up on critical occasions.

Charles Loescher of Kenosna Gets Into
More Trouble in the Belle City.

Charles Loescher, of Kenosha, was
arraigned in the municipal court this
morning on a charge o. 1isorder1y
conduct. He pleaded guilty and was
fined So and costs or fifteen days in
jail.
Last summer Loesher created dis
turbance on a Milwaukee, Racine &
Kenosha electric car, and was placed
under. arrest by Policeman Bose, but
he broke away and ran, and the officer
fired at him. Later he patched the
matter up.
Last night he entered saloon and
became involved in fight and was
elected. While being taken to the jail
he threw his hat out of the patrol
wagon and wanted Officer Voge1 to
get it, but the officer was too sharp for
him. Then he offered five dollars if
the officer would let him go.-Racine

Republican City Committee Met Last
Evening to Make Plans For
Municipal Campaign.
HARD CAMPAIGN IN ALL WARDS,
The City Convention will Be Held at Cen
trail Music Hall March 25tn-The
Caucuses week Earlier.

& The first gun in the municipal CAM
paign of 1901 was fred last night when
an enthusiastic meeting of the Keno
sha City Republican committee was
held at the office of Attorney A. E..
Buckmaster for the purpose Of out1in-
ing the campaign. Every member of
the committee was present, and the
preliminary reports from the different
wards were exceedingly encouraging.
A general feeling of discomfort is seen
in all parts of the city on account of
the way the affairs of the city are be-
ing managed by the present Democrat
ic administration, and the members of
the committee are predicting strong
sentiment against the return of many
members of the city council.
In order to get the campaign started
the date for the caucuses and the con-
vention was set. The convention will
be held at Central Music Hall on the
evening of March 18th, and the eau
cuses to nominate the candidates for
aldermen will be held week earlier IN
the different wards of the city.
y Theseoinmittee laid out plans for a
| hard campaign in all parts of the city.
No candidates have as yet been pro
posed, but it is stated that number OF
men been have suggested for places on
the ticket and there will be no trouble
in finding material to fill the different
places on the city ticket.
The committee is making special
plans for hard fight in some of the
wards of the city. Some of the OBJ
iectionab1e Democratic aldermen have
announced thu they will be candidates
for reelection, and hard effort will
be made to defeat them. 1t is thought
possible that any of the wards of the
city can be carried with little hard
work. In the strong Republican wards
there will be large number Of candi-
dates Tor aldermen and the caucuses
will undoubtedly be spirited ones.
Tt is probable that both Alderman
Sers11o11 and Alderman Nelson, the re-
firing Republican aldermen, will be
candidates for reelection, but they
will find many other candidates look
ing for the position, and the result in
these wards will probably be decided
IN the primaries.
A general address to the Republicans
of the city will be issued within a few
days urging them to attend the pri-
maries and see to it that the best men
in the different wards are sent to the
convention. '

ARTHUR GAGGIN KILLED.
Sad Accident at Gurnee, ILL.,, Results 10
One Death-Another One Expected.


The high wind that blew for per-
haps FIVE minutes Sunday afternoon
about O'Clock resulted in at least one
death.
A chimney crashed through the roof
of Gurnee house killing Arthur, the
8-year-o1d son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Gaggin, and injuring Mrs. Gaggin so
badly that her recovery is despaired of.
The Gaggin family lived in por-
ton of the house which stands on the
north side of the highway just west of
the Gurnee depot. The portion of the
building where the accident occurred
is one story frame structure, at the
ported by iron stays.
Mrs. Gaggin and her little son were
sitting near the window when the
wind storm burst. Mr.. Gaggin was
just entering the house and to his
turning to regain one of his rubbers
which had come off he owes his life.
His wife and child smiled at his efforts
to pick up the shoe, for it was very
slippery, and just as he regained it
and started to enter the door with a
jest on his lips the crash came.
The unfortunate woman and child
were literally buried beneath the bricks
which, piled against the door, prevent
ed entrance, and it was necessary to
break window to gain access to the
room
The child was quite dead when the
bricks were removed from the body,
his head being crushed Mrs. Gag
gin, though terribly injured, is still
| living.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gaggin are both well
known in this county, having former
/! 1y been teachers in the Kenosha county
schools.

EXPLOSION AT THE GAS HOUSE
Connecting of New Machines Results in
Report which startles Citizens

It was reported on the streets last
evening that an explosion had occurred
at the Powder Mill in Pleasant Prairie
in which three men were ''DloWn 10
atoms'' and various other damage
done. The report of the explosion was
plainly heard in Kenosha, and it is
stated that in short time the report
of the accident had spread to such an
extent that the coroner had started to
empane1 jury to go to the scene OF
the accident when the real facts were
discovered. The explosion was not at
the Powder Mill but at the Gas House
on Ashland avenue and not single
person was in any way injured. The
Gas company have recently added
some new machinery to their plan
and last evening the machinery was
connected up for the first time. About
seven O'Clock the new machines were
started and they were given little too
much power. A second later terrific
explosion occurred which was felt IN
all parts of the city. So terrific was
the force of the explosion that it is re-
ported that several windows were
broken in different parts of the city.
The men rushed out of the gas house
thinking that one of the machines had
burst but later it was discovered that
the explosion had done no damage
whatever to the machine, and it was IN
operation throughout the evening

A PECULIAR CASE.
Hand Car Jumps the Track and VIM. Swift
is Seriously Injured

One of the most peculiar accidents
that ever occurred on the Northwest
ern railway in this county occurred
about mile north of the city Monday
afternoon when a hand car jumped
the track and the four men who were
propel1ing it were thrown into neigh
boring ditch. William Swift, one of
the men, was quite seriously injured
and he will be laid up for several weeks
with broken arm as a result of the
accident.
The men had been employed just
north of the city and had started home.
They were coming at rapid pace,
when suddenly the car struck some OBJ
struction and it was hurled from the
track. The men jumped to save them
selves, but ali of them received slight
INJURIES. Swift, the most seriously in
iured, was brought to Kenosha and
taken to the Office Of DR.. Kimba1,
where his wounds were dressed. The
,ther men were simply bruised. The
car was not damaged by the accident.

IMPROVE WHITE HOUSE.
Estimates For the Proposed Work
Furnished by Col. Bingham.

washington. July 26-CoI Bingham,
superintendent of public buildings and
grounds in Washington, made his an
nua1 report yesterday. While the re-
port deals largely with matters of
strictly local interest, he takes up the
question of building a new executive
mansion for the president of the United
States and discusses the plans for en-
larging and altering the present White
House, and also gives some statistics
as to the number of people who have
visited Washington's monument during
the past year. The report shows the
exact number of persons who have rid
den in the elevators to the top of the
shaft, 555 feet from the ground also
the number who have walked up the
hundreds of steps which wind around
inside the shaft. He tells of the pre-
paration of a model for the extension
of the present White House, ana of
the exhibition of the model, together
with forty-seven drawings, to the presi-
dent and the members of his cabinet
recently, which showed the proposed
work in detail.
Col. Bingham has made the following
careful estimate of the cost of the pro-
posed extension of the mansion; Ex-
cavation, 100000; concrete, $35, 900; steel,
$1Sc,0O0; floor system, 1000; wooden
floor $4,000; walls 1882, GOO, windows
etc, 1900; marble columns, $16S, 900;
mechanical equipment, $50, 600; painting
and plastering, $40, 900; contingencies, 10
per cent, $103, $50. total, 81, 136, $50.
The report reviews at some length the
work done on the Washington Inonu-
ment. During the fiscal year "a, $50 per-
sons assembled to the top of the shaft,
and of these %. 81 walked up the stairs.
During the first six months of this year
no elevator was running in the monu-
ment, and during the months of Feb
ruary, March, April and May the mOnu-
ment was closed altogether to visitors.
During the month of January 1,84S per-
sons walked up, and in June 5,406. The
largest number of visitors was in
August, when 16, 236 persons went to the
top of the shaft, of whom 4.198 walked.
The total number of persons who have
visited the monument since October 8,
1885, is 1874, OH,
