| Charles VIII was granted decree OF
divorce from his wife, Rosie Wiesung
Viii, in the Circuit Court ut Kenosha
The case has attracted a great deal of at
tention on account of the fact that the
defendant in the case was but is years
of age. She eloped to Waukegan with
VIII two years ago. Their married life
was a stormy one, and it Is alleged that
on account of his wife Viii killed Tony
Bruno two years ago. The wife deserted
Viii shortly after he was acquitted of the
murder.
Judge Fish of Kenosha has decided
that the fact that woman did not de-
sire to do housework was not sufficient
reason for her to desert her husband. The
point was made in the divorce suit Of

Mrs. Schilling and her husband had been
married but five months when the hus-
band asked her to do the homework and
she deserted him. The Judge granted the
husband decree. The divorced wife is
but 10 years ofsage and is now residing
in Chicago.

Madeline Island, was destroyed by fire.
The church was an ancient landmark and
had been visited by hundreds of tourists
annually. The original church was built
in 1895 by Father Baraga and rebuilt ut
later date. 1t contained an ancient
painting. The Descent from the Cross"
which Indian tradition says was gift to
the La Pointe mission in 1860 by Father
Marquette. 1t is the opinion of some
that the picture was stolen and the
church set on fire to cover up the loss.
1t has come to light that John f. Sears,
formerly cashier OF the Bank of Month
cello who was found dead June at the
foot OF a windmill, on a farm belonging
to him, was, in nm unfortunate financial
condition. On the day Of his death he
was to have met the directors OF the
bank and to explain TO them some dis
crepances in his books. The directors
were already in session when the news
came that the former cashier was dead,
having apparently fallen from the plat
form of the windmill, sixty five feet from
the ground Whether the fall was an ac-
cident or whether Mr. Sears jumped TO
his death probably will never be known.
The residence and several other build
ings belonging to Mrs. Hannah Booth,
