Former Kenosha Boy Will Be at Head
of the Transportation Building
at st. Louis.
WELL KNOWN IN RAILWAY CIRCLES
Son of Deacon" William Smith Will Be
One of Leaders In st. Louis Exposition
Wears cross of Legion of Honor.

Willard Albert Smith, who has just
been appointed to be manager of the
transportat ton department of the St.
Louis Exposition, is former Kenosha
boy and his advancement has given
his friends in this city who have fol-
lowed his career for the last few years
d great deal of pleasure. He was born
in Kenosha in 1849, and was son of
William Smith, who was well known
throughout Southern Wisconsin as
deacon Smith" on account of the ac-
tive interest which he took in the af-
fairs of the Baptist church in this city
and Racine.
When Smith was young man his
parents removed TO Rockford, ILL.,, but
the young man often returned TO Ke-
nosha to renew his acquaintance of
youth. After he had completed his
work in the high school Mr.. Smith was
educated at Shurtlef college and COM
p1eted his education at the Law school
of Washington University at ST Louis.
He was admitted to practice in the
courts of Missouri in 1870, and the fol-
lowing year he returned to Kenosha,
after which he went to Chicago. He
at once began his career as a railway
man by the publication of the Railway
Register, and year later he purchased
the Chicago Railway Review of which
he is still the owner and editor. His
work for the betterment of transporta-
ton cannot be overestimated.
When the great plans were made for
holding the Worlds Fair at Chicago,
the Kenosha boy was selected to have
charge of the Transportation Building
and this exhibit was one of the great
est successes at the Fair. When the
United States government needed a
man to take, charge of the Department
of Transportation and Engineering at
the Paris Exposition in 1900 Mr.. Smith
was selected, and his work was so uni
versa11y praised that he was decorated
with the Cross of the Legion of Honor
by the French government.
Mr.. Smith will remove to st. Louis
at once and begin his duties as man
ager of the Transportation Building
now almost ready for occupancy.

United States Government Represen-
tatives Seeking Large Tract of
Land in This County.
KENOSHA COUNTY LAND IN FAVOR
Soldiers Have Had Range in This County
Make it Permanent One.

Agents of the United States Govern
ment have been in this county for the
past two days seeking to make pur-
chase of a large tract of land on the
lake shore within fifty miles of FIT.
Sheridan. 1t is thought that the land
will be purchased in this county. The
land is being sought for the purpose of
tablishing a government rife range
for the use of the soldiers at FIT. Sheri-
dan. For some time the War depart
ment has been considering the advisa-
bility of esta b1ishing a permanent
range for the use of all the soldiers
now in the states. For the past two
years the soldiers Of FIT. Sheridan have
been in camp south Of Kenosha during
two weeks of each year and for this
reason it is thought that the old camp
ing grounds that have proved perfectly
satisfactory for two years will be pur-
chased if possible. The first year the
soldiers came to this county they en-
camped on the land owned by H. S.
VanIngen, just south of the city, but
last year they were forced to go fur

ideally situated for the range. The
land is valuable, and as the govern
ment is anxious to locate the range ia
the neighborhood of FIT. Sheridan,
which is to be the main headquarters
of the army, it is more than probable
that Kenosha county will be honored
by the government and the range To-
Gated near this city.
The War department is planning on
spending large amount of money in
fitting up the National Rifle range.
Magnificent buildings will be built for
the use of the officers and a permanent
barracks will be opened for the use OF
! the soldiers of the rank and file. Some
one will be at the range the year round
and Kenosha will assume some i'm
portance as military center,
/ The people having lard near the
lake shore just south of the city
should communicate with the govern
ment officials at once and every effort
should be made to have the range es'
tah1ished in this county.

TO DISMISS OLD CASES.
A torneys in the sesry SANDER Cases Slip
ulate to Dismiss the Famous Cases.

The case of Lillian Seery VS.. Geo.
Leet, the last of the famous Somers
SANDER cases, will not come to trial at
the next term of the Circuit Court, as
Wallace Ingalls,, of Racine, and James
Cavanagh, of this city, representing
the 1itigants have decided to drop the
case. The proposition TO dismiss the
case was sent to- the defendants by the
attorney of the plaintiff, who stated
that Miss Seery would drop the action
against Mr.. Leet if the defense would
consent to a dismissal without costs to
either party. To this Mr.. Cavanagh,
who represents Mr.. Leet, consented,
and with the opening of the term of
the Circuit Court the case will be for
n1al1y dropped from the calender.
The Seery Islander cases have been
on the calendar of the Circuit Court
for the past three years. Miss Seery
brought suit against six of the Leading
men of Somers to secure damages for
SANDER. But one of the cases ever
went to jury and in this case Miss
Seery was awarded small damages.
The Judgment was filed but # is under
stood that it was never paid.

Burglars Loot the Boarding House OF
Charles ReindI on North
Chicago Street.
THE DARING CRIMINALS ARE BUSY
They Enter Rooms in which the Boarders
are Sleeping and Take the ValuaDles-
Old Gang Thought to Have Returned.
(F'rom Fridays Daily

The old gang of burglars seems to be
at work again and the second daring
burglary of the present week was com
mitted early this morning at the board
ing hoHse of Charles Reindl, 108 North
Chicago street. Some time between
three and four O'Clock this morning
thieves entered the house and went
through every room and managed to
secure for their trouble and time the
large sum of $4.08 and a gold watch.
But the principle was there just the
same and the only thing that prevented
the burglars securing greater booty
was the fact that the boarders had laid
their money away in the bank during
the afternoon.
The burglar was evidently lone
highwayman who was well acquainted
with the lay of the land and the board
ing house. AS soon as he entered the
house he went to the room occupied by
Lorentz Schmitz and Charles Foge.
Both the men were in bed at the time,
but the burglar, with rare nerve, en-
tered the room and carried their cloth
ing into the hall and lighting match
rifed the pockets of their contents.
Foge lost a watch valued at eighteen
dollars and a little change. From the
the pockets of Schnitz the bold
maurauder managed to secure $500.
The men in the room watched the
burglar strike a sulphur match in order
to have light enough to continue his
work, but thinking that he was some
new boarder they paid little attention
to the occurrence until this morning
when they found their clothes and val
uab1es gone. The man was in his
stocking feet and slipped nois1essly
away to search the other rooms in the
house and in due time slipped out
back door and made his escape. The
case was reported to the police this
morning but there seems to be abso-
lutely no clue to the guilty parties.
AS this is the second crime of this
kind in the week it might be well for
the order of Mayor German to shoot
and shoot to kill TO be read to the
officers of the police force again. Let
them get out their guns and give the
maurauders the second barrel.
Kenosha is not ready for another
reign of terror like she had some time
ago and it is high time that something
was done to nip these robberies and
the bold gang of night workers in the
bud,

FACTORY ORDERS VACCINATION
Chicago Rockford Hosiery Works Takes
First Steps for General Vaccination.

An order was issued Friday by the
managers of the Chicag o-Rockford
Hosiery works that every employee in
the plant must be vaccinated and the
work of pricking the arms of the young
| ladies and gentlemen will be started
on next Monday morning and con-
tinued each day until all have been
vaccinated.
The action Of the hosiery works is
one to be greatly commended and the
health department of the city has
taken the action as suggestion to the
other factories in the city and have
sent out the following letter in regard
to it:
SIN view of the alarming reports of
the spread of smallpox in neighboring
cities we're instructed by the State
Board of Health and the city authori-
ties to urge the necessity of general
vaccination. Particularly do we wish
| to emphasize the Importance of this to
employers Of large numbers of persons
Should the contagion make it's appear
ance among your employees the result,
as you probably have contemplated,
would be most disastrous to your bust
ness and would tend to para1yze the
business of the entire city.
beginning Monday morning next
the Chicago Rockford Hosiery com
pany will institute general VAGINA
ton among its employees by having a
physician cali and vaccinate for one
hour each day until all are vaccinated.
In order to divide the business they
will alternate the vaccination days
among all the regularly licensed ply
sicans of the city. We think their
plan wise one and submit this dread
disease is most urgent.
Yours very truly,
JOHN B. SPALDING.

WARNED BY STATE,
Statement Issued Regarding the So-Called
'Get-Rich- Quick" Concerns.

Deputy State Bank Examiner Bartz
has issued the following warning to
the public to shun "get-rich-quick"
concerns, and calling the attention of
agents of such concerns to the penal
ties provided for soliciting business for
them:
The Legislature of Wisconsin has
passed several measures for the pur-
pose of protecting the people against
fraudulent investment concerns. The
law as it now stands provides that no
association or corporation doing bust
ness as a so-ca11ed investment, loan,
benefit, trust or guarantee company,
which shall solicit payments to be
made to itself either in lump sum or
periodically, or on the insta1lment
plan, issuing therefor so-called bonds,
shares, coupons, certificates of mem
bership or other evidence of obligation
or agreement or pretended agreement
to return to the holders thereof money
or anything of value at some future
date, shall solicit or transact any bus
mess in this State unless such associ-
alton or corporation shall have COM
piled with the law which provides that
concerns of this character shall deposit
100000 in approved securities with
tine State Treasurer as guarantee
fund and submit to supervision by the
bank examiner, from whom a license
must be secured authorizing such as
ISOLATION or corporation to do business.
To guard against violations the fol-
lowing penalty is provided: "Any
person, corporation or associa ton who
shall act as agent or solicit business
for or membership in any such associ-
alton or corporation not authorized to
do business in this State shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof shall be pun
ishtd by fine of not less than 800 or
more than $1,000, or by Imprisonment
of not less than three months nor
more than one year, or by both fine
and Imprisonment.
At this time there is not single
foreign concern licensed by this de-
partment, yet every little while we hear
of nonresident company bearing an
elaborate investment title with a
scheme that offers improbable, if not
impossible returns, doing business or
attempting to do business in this State.
Soliciting for these concerns is usually
conducted through some local agents
who engage in the business under
promise of large commissions without
considering that the law is being vio-
lated.
This department will prosecute to
the utmost every company, agent or
person found violating the law, and
citizens of the State who are approached
with fraudulent investment schemes
are requested to notify this depart
with such information as will enable
conviction of either company or agent.

is wellnigh q mortal disease. It is apt to last as long as life itself. The man who can face his world and redeem himself after term in prison is brave through and through.
 There are many forms of bravery. No one instance can stand as highest. because they are along different lines. A woman earning her own living ill the face of adversity and discourage nent is brave. Only those who have tried 1t know what a courageous thing it is to earn a living. If the woman iabors for child, perhaps, or for a parent, sine is much the braver.
 Courage in battles is perhaps the highest type of physical bravery, but it is still the bravery of the body. The excitement, the yells and turmoil, to- gether with the hope, the determina- ton to win, buoy a man up until he forgets danger. Few men go into a battle simply to be brave. Uncertainty is always an unpleasant thing. The grim, irreconcilable uncertainty of a battle is overpowerinS. Most men, l think. regard action as a duty which has to be done, and set about doing it in the best manner possible.
 It is much harder for men with fam lilies to go into battle than for single men. In Cuba, when there was no one but myself to think of. fighting was much easier than in the Philippines. when Mrs. Funston was left behind.
 The women were examples of true courage. Wives of the officers and soldiers who were battling in the Phil ippines often were within sound of the l-;n ing their dear ones. There was q little tower where they used to sit and watch operations in the distance. Think of the agony and anxiety q woman must endure at such a time. Often they visited the hospital and saw dead and pitifully. horribly maimed men carried in. watching each stretcher, perhaps. with an unutterable fear that the iden- tity of the sufferer might bring per soral desolation.
 That is courage much greater than any shown by men at the front. It was calm, brave waiting, with no ex- citement to lend buoyancy to the soul.
 For the courage of the prize ring l have TO sympathy. Ii is q kind shared alike by the bulldog and the wildcat.
 A combination oi moral and physical courage IS not uncommon. sergeant Sheldon. of the Twentieth Kansas. in the midst of hot fight received a ghastly, mortal wound. With lot of other poor maimed and tortured men he was carried back. Passing among: them to do what I could in the way of cheer, I spoke to him:
 Sergeant, you're pretty badly hurt. V
 He smiled, knowing he had only a little life left.
 "Oh, I don't mind being hurt to get in a fight like that
 It requires the greatest moral cour- age to face final. inevitable death after the turmoil and excitement of battle are over. Sergeant Sheldon did it without a Quiver.
 One thing should be said for the Americans. Never, under any circum- stances, have 1 seen one of our army show cowardice. The Spaniards and Filipinos often cry and beg. Perhaps, though. it is not from cowardice. but because they are an emotional race.
