Applied Science In the Courts.


In it's onward march science invades
the realm of law and justice. The
courts of the country have been forced
by the trend of events to recognize and
utilize modern scientific devices.
Object lessons in criminal cases, such
as the burning 81 towels saturated
With chloroform IL the Patrick case in
New York, are hot now uncommon.
In a celebrated Chicago murder case
the prosecution undertook by actual
test to prove that the accused could
have disposed of the corpus deficit by
means of chemicals. Experiments with
firearms upon dummies and even upon
cadavers have repeatedly been permit
ted by the courts to ascertain the prob
able range Of the killing weapons.
These tests, however, are ordinarily
conducted out Of sight of the jury, the
results being subsequently related in
court.
u 1CIPC LLO 1AOoL uAOOOd1 P1ONCOO-
ing in this line is the application made
in a New Jersey court for the admis-
sion Of evidence as recorded by the
monograph. The case itself is trivial,
but it shows an advance in the range
of legal evidence A citizen of New
Jersey had complained Of the bowling
Of dogs of neighbor, and, failing to
secure satisfactory proof of the nui-
sance, he provided himself with a
series of monographs, which have
been loaded, 50 to speak, with evidence
of the hideous noise of the animals.
The machines were set in the presence
of witnesses and have remained sealed
ever since, so that it is expected the
court will admit the records as proof
of the nocturnal conditions. 4a@
There would appear to be wide
field for the photograph as a witness
Ii the courts shall generally accept it's
evidence as competent.

KEUCK WINS FIRST.
Senior Orator Takes First HOnors in
the Annual High School Ora
toricaI Contest.
MISS CHAFFEE A CLOSE SECOND,
Young Lady Loses the FIRST Honors by g
Single Point-Roy Donley Is Third and
Miss Mabel Huck Fourth.

The annual dec1amatory contest
among the pupils of the Kenosha High
school took place at the High School
auditorium Friday evening, and as a
result of the contest August Keuck
and Miss Gertrude Chaffee will repre-
sent Kenosha at Burlington and the
district contest on April II.
The decision of the judges was very
close, both Miss Chaffee and Mr..
Keuck receiving rank of nine. The
averaging of the percentages, how
ever, gave the first honor to Mr.. Keuck
by narrow margin Of single point
Roy Donley was awarded third place
and Miss Mable Huck fourth in the
contest. The verdict of the Judges
was popular one and was received
with hearty cheers by 800 students and
their friends who were present.
The contest was the most interesting
one ever held among the students of
the High school and the splendid work
of the speakers reflected great credit
on the ability of the instructors. It
was a typical student contest. The
auditorium was deliberately decorated
in High school colors, american flags
and flowers. The crowd was student
crowd and in differentsparts of the hall
the colors of the different classes were
very much in evidence. 6 Class spirit
was high and everyl speaker was
greeted with enthusiastic shouts of
approval.
The judges of the contest were the
Rev. Florence Buck, E. L. Grant and
w. r. Robinson. James Anderson,
president of one of the High school
societies, acted as chairman during the
evening.
The program was opened with se1ec-
tion by the Arion Quartette, after
which Joseph Lippert acclaimed
National Apostasy." The story was
a presentation of the life of Benedict
Arnold and his treason. Mr.. Lippert
detained it in splendid.nanner. He
was received with great applause by
the audience.
The next speaker was Miss Hermie
Hoehn, and in a very clever manner
she told tire story of s'Jesekieh Browns
Courtship.' Miss Hoehn brought a

JACK THE KIssER.
Report That an Unknown Man Assaulted
Young Woman on Market street

Kenosha Ihas a slack the Kisser.''
It has just leaked out that several
nights ago well-known young woman
residing of'South street was walking
along Market street when an unknown
man came from the shadow of build
ing and throwing his arms about the
youngs woman's neck planted re
soundingskiss upon her lips. The young
woman struggled to free herself from
the embrace of the man and as she
started to shout he released her and
ran away.
The young woman hurried home and
reported the matter to her parents, but
she was not able to give description
of her assailant and as yet his identity
has not been discovered. It is thought,
however, Ethat the man is known and
he is being closely watched.
The young woman who was the
victim of the coward is most indignant
and can he.be apprehended he will be
punished to the fullest extent of the
1aw.E Kenosha is no. place for such
men to work righteousness, and the
people Of the lcity will give him an
enthusiastic farewell if captured.

Haverhill's Ovation to Moody.

Haverhill's Ovation to Moody.
During the years in which Congress
man Moody has served the historic
old Essex district of Massachusetts he
has made, as occasion would permit,
frequent visits to his home in Haver-
hill. His fellow townsmen were of
course always glad to see him, bot,
aside from the familiar greeting OF
"Hello, Billyp' and two line per-
sonal in the local paper, his comings
and goings created no ripple on the
everyday life Of the New England
shoe town. But now it is different
since he is to be the secretary Of tie
navy. He returned to Haverhill the
other day for the first time since his
appointment, and the city gave him
an ovation which, according to the
Haverhill Gazette, "beggared descrip-
ton" But here is the opening para
graph Of the faithful chronicler's ac-
count Of it:
It is a platitude to say that Congress-
man Moody arrived home on Saturday
evening. 1t would not have been news to
say it even half an hour before his train
pulled into the city, to the booming of big
guns that sounded their first salute to
him as secretary of the navy To describe
the scene had better be done with the pig
ments of a master artist than with the
cold words Of a writer. 1t beggars the
mind that attempts to tell of it and makes
the telling but travesty on the memory.
To have looked down an avenue thronged
with cheering thousands, vaulted with
lurid smoke and pierced with millions of
darling, multicolored fires; to have looked
into 1t and seen no end is to have had
painted eternally before the eye picture
in it's lack of detail that it can be realized
only by the seeing. And Haverhill nor
Congressman Moody ever saw anything
like it before.
Congressman Moody was no doubt
deeply touched by the warmth and
enthusiasm Of the demonstration In
his honor given by admiring and con-
gratulatory friends and neighbors, but
the vividness and brilliancy Of The
Gazette's account of it must have sent
several distinct and varied thrills
chasing each other UP and down his
spinal cord.

great deal of dramatic art to the por-
trayal Of the pretty humorous pictures
of "Jesekieh" and Gam" the old
negro lovers. Miss Hoehn's ieclama-
ton was one of the best of the evening.
Ray Donley, gave "The Trial of
Abner Barrow" a pathetic story of
early days in Texas. Mr.. Don1ey is
one of the best speakers in the High
school and his defamation created a
verT favorable impression.
Afterla piano solo by Miss Stebbins,
which called out double encore, Miss
Mable Huck, aEother,represent of
the Senior class, detained 'The
Battle of Bannockburn. The piece
was given with great deal of force
and expression and won applause from
the large crowd. Miss Huck was one
of the best speakers on the program,
AMI she certainly deserved the warm
reception accorded.her.
August Keuck was evidently a great
favorite WITH the students and when he
took the Ep1atform to give THE Un-
known Speaker" he was rgreeted with
great applause. Mr.. Keuck was a very
magnetic orator and his thrilling man
ner of delivering his speech quite
caught the audience fand he was at
once selected as one of the winners of
the contest.
The last speaker of the evening was
Miss Gertrude,Chaffee, who acclaimed
"The Run of the Overland" in a
charming manner. It was a pretty
story of 1ovesand adventure and Miss
Chaffee is certainly worthy of great
praise for the splendid manner in
which she gave the piece. She held the
complete attention of her auditors for
fifteen minutes and everyone would
have been pleased to hear her speak
for half hour more.
While the judges were rendering
their decision in the contest musical
numbers were furnished by Mrs. Her
bert E. Tanner aud other favorites.
In all the contest was by far the best
ever given by the students and the
representatives of Kenosha should
make splendid showing at the dis
trict contests.

Court is heartily approved by the peo-
pie of the United States, and the at
tempt to work W any sympathy for
them in this cour .ry will fail. They
deserved all they { OF and more. Their
offense was aggravated by the fact
that it was committed at time when
the United States was on tria' before

GrOcers and Butchers Of the City Hand
in Long Lists of DeIinquents to
The Association.
THE CREDIT WILL. BE LIMITED.
Lists as Certified by Grocers Contain Many
Well Known Names and They May be
Refused Credit in tie Future.

The Grocers' and Butchers Associ.
alton of the city held its regular meet
; ing last night at the Grand Army hall
, and as result of the meeting it is
probable that within a short time the
grocers and butchers will make ia re-
; vision Of the credit lists, and all dead
i beats will be eliminated from the rolls
When the Association was organic
, ed some three months ago the different
members were asked to hand in list
of the so-cal1ed "dead beats" who were
imposing upon them and the meeting
Thursday evening was the time for
the return of the lists to the Secretary
of the Association. Nearly every
member of the Association had his
own list, and many names appeared
on several of the lists. AS yet the
Association has not decided what will
be done with these lists but the plan
is to publish them in book form and
supply every member of the Associa-
ton with copy of the book. It is
claimed that the grocers and butchers
OF the city are losing thousands of dol
lars annually on account of the dead
beats.
Many of these people are supposed
to be well fixed and in this manner
they manage to run large bills at the
different stores and when the store
keepers make an effort to collect they
discover that the debtors have not only
no property but that they are judg-
ment proof.
With the new plan it will be exceed
ingly hard for the professional "dead
beat" to impose on KenosEa merchants
in the future, and it would be a sp1en-
did thing if this protection could be
extended to other lines of trade.
The Kenosha association has as its
members nearly all the we1l-known
dealers, SO that any action taken by
the association is practically a unani-
nous one.
