A WAR debt such as Great Britain is
now piling up in her endeavor to ex-
terminate the Beers will be an almost
7nto1erab1e burden upon generations of
Eng1ishmen yet unborn. Some con-
ception of the length of time the Eng
1ish taxpayer must labor to pay off the
enormous liabilities contracted in the
present war may be gained by observ-
ing the experience of the Germans.
The last of the war obligations of the
city of Koenigsberg in Prussia were
burned with impressive ceremonies
yesterday. The permission to issue
the bonds was granted to the city
ninety-four years ago. The money
raised by the bonds was needed to pay
the contribution demanded by Napo-
leon shortly after the peace of Tilsit
IN 1907.

THB ST. JAMES BAZAAR.
Annual Event of st. James Church opens
Under Auspicious circumstances.

All roads led to Central Music Hall
Tuesday evening on account of the
opening of the annual Bazaar given by
the ladies of St. James church, and no
event of the kind ever opened in Ke-
nosha under such suspicious circum-
stances.
The hall was brilliant in it's decOra-
tons for the event and the barren
walls of the room were completely
hidden by the booths which we're pre-
sided over by myriad of fair women.
At the opening of the fair the ladies
Of the church served dinner in the din
ing room and more than two hundred
partook of the turkey lunch provided.
Within the magic circle of the
booths everything was sold. Girls
and boys ran about among the crowd
selling chances on everything from a
pocket handkerchief to a piano or a
COW, and the wheel of fortune in one of
the corners of the room did a thriving
business.
Father Malone appeared in a new
role as proprietor of a stand at which
the innocent boys could hurl balls at a
mythical negro and this stand proved
to be winner during the entire even
ing.
One of the prettiest booths in the
hall was the fancy work booth of the
S. P. D. Club, which was presided over
by Miss English and coterie of Ke-
nosha's fairest daughters. In the
- Of
fered for sale. The doll booth was an
other triumph, and in charge of Miss
Bailey it had been made one of the
features of the fair. More than two
hundred dolls of ali sorts and cOndi-
tons were offered for sale and found
ready purchasers. The candy booth
was in charge of Miss Rose Ward, and
it was one of the big money makers.
Miss O'Donne11 had charge of the sale
of fancy work and her booth was
crowded with customers during the
tire evening. A pretty booth in the
corner of the room was the ice cream
and lemonade booth which was handled
by Miss Mary Rogers.
Miss Sadie Carr proved to be the
fd1TeSt OF nSueT ud1ueHS, duu dl hCI
fish pond in the center of the room she
managed to angle for nickles in very
successful manner. The fair will con-
tinue for the remainder of the week
and many pleasant evenings are prom
ised. Programs of music and recita-
tons will be rendered nightly and the
whole will close with an auction of un-
sold articles on next Saturday night.

EVERY Individual in the city is now

Charles HeniOn, a Pioneer Railway
Man of This City, Killed in Chi
cagO This Morning.
BUILT THE NORTHWESTERN LINE.
Unknown Man Killed on the Northwestern
Tracks at Racine County Line Claimed
to Have Lived in Kenosha.

a telegram was received in Kenosha
this afternoon from Chicago announc-
ing that Charles Henion, one of the
pioneer railway men of this county
had metSwith accidental death under
the wheels in Chicago at an early hour
this morning. The deceased was a
brother-in-law of Frank Holderness, in
this city, and was we'll known among
the earlier residents of Kenosha. He
was about sixty years of age. The re-
mains will be brought to this city for
interment and the date of the funeral
will be announced later.
The death of Charles Henion re-
moves one of the best known of the
! pioneer railway men of Wisconsin and
in fact the entire west. From his
earliest boyhood Mr.. Henion had been
connected with railways and in his
long life he has been employed by
nearly every line in the United States.
Charles Henion was born in the town
of Pleasant Prairie, and while he was
yet youth he accepted a position
with the old Chicago and Milwaukee
Railway company and had charge of
the building of the first tracks of the
North Western railway company be-
tv cen this city and Waukegan. Dur
ing the later years of his life Mr.. Hen
ion was in the employ of the Illinois
Central Railway company.
No detailed account of the accident,
which resulted in the death of Henion
has been learned in this city.
Unknown Man Killed.
An unknown man was run down and
killed by freight train on the North
Western line about one and one half
miles south of the Racine county line
at an early hour Monday morning.
The north bound passenger, known
on the road as the "Owl' train, passes
the freight at this point and the un-
fortunate man in stepping out of the
way of this train, stepped directly IN
front of the freight and was literally
ground to pieces beneath the wheels.
The man stopped at the station on his
way south and in a conversation with
the station master stated that he was
from Kenosha and was on his way
home. He did not mention his name
or address in this city, however.
The remains of the unfortunate vic
tim we're those of man apparently
about sixty years of age and he had
lost the thumb of his right had in some
previous accident. He was an Irish
man, smooth-faced and with slightly
grey hair.
There were no letters or papers of
any kind to assist in identif ing him.
| The coroners inquest was held this
afternoon at Racine and nothing found
which would give any clue to the mans
family or friends, and the remains will
be inferred in the potters field.
The M R. and x. railway company
has admitted that it should pay taxes
to the extent of $218.5 81 in this county.
This tax is on the five miles of the
road in the town of Somers.,

street police court today charged on a
provisional warrant with, larceny COM
mitted In the United States and Was
again remanded for week The pris-
oner was represented by the Hon.
Charles Russell, who made strong
plea for bail, on the ground that his
client was British subject and that
he had never been naturalized In the

Der 5.
The prosecution believes that Dx's
real name is jenkins, that he was en-
gagged In literary work In America un-
der the name of Henry st. John and
that he subsequently added the name
OF Dix when he started in business as
a banker.

Judge Crlticises a Damage Verdict.

man In the supreme court today, OF his
own motion, set aside verdict for $500
In favor OF Julius Wiltzen. who sued the
Metropolitan Street Railway company
for $4,000 for the death OF his 5-year-
old son Lawrence, on the ground that
such verdict was utterly Inadequate
The action taken by Justice O'Gorman
is said to be without precedent In the
New York courts. In setting aside the
verdict the justice said
1.-THE verdict rendered In this case IL
so grossly inadequate and indefensible
II should not be allowed 10 stand. The
verdict is perverse and the damages ar
bitrarily and capriciously fixed at such
q low figure as to shock the moral
sense,
THE plaintiff Is In no manner respon-
sible for this miscarriage OF justice and
TO impose costs az condition Of set
ting the verdict asiea and granting q
new trial Is TO emphasize the wrong
10 which the Jury has already subjected
him."
