Mrs. Isabella Reed Compton DENIM
ger. Formerly Of This City, Re-
ceiyes a Large Sum.
FORTUNE THE GIFT OF AN UNCLE
Mine Named For Mrs. Denninger Years Ago
Finally Becomes Her Property and Sale
Makes Her a Wealthy Woman.

A telegram from Kansas City, Mo-,
states that Mrs. Isabella Reed DENIM
ger, formerly of this city, has become
wealthy woman through the sale of
mining properties in California which
were given to her many years ago by
her uncle. Mrs. Denninger will be re-
membered in Kenosha as the former
wife of Professor M. B. Compton.
In her early life Mrs. Denninger
was Miss Isabella Reed, of st. Joe,
Mo. At that time her uncle, one
Alexander Frazier, also lived in ST.
Joe but he had extensive mining in
terests in California. About the time
that Mrs. Denninger was born a valu-
bic mine was discovered on the prop
erty of Frazier in California and he
named the new mine after his niece,
calling it the Isabella. Mrs. DENIM
ger was always great favorite with
her uncle and some time ago he made
a will in which he gave her the mine
as heritage. A short time ago the
mine was sold by Frazier and in keep
ing with the provisions of the will the
money received from the mine was
turned over to the woman for whom it
had been named.
The mine was sold for sum a little
less than fifty thousand dollars, and
the entire amount has already been
turned over to Mrs. Denninger. The
former Kenosha couple are now re-
siding in Kansas City where Mr.. Den
ninger is employed in the American
National bank.
Mrs. Denninger will probably travel
for few years and study music on
the continent. While she was in Ke-
nosha she was quite favorite and her
music was heard in many Of the anna
teur entertainments given by the diff
ferent societies in the city. She had a
splendid voice and now that she has
become wealthy woman she will be
able to have it property trained.
Mrs. mpton-Denn inger always
had leaning toward the stage, but
with her new fortune it is not probable
that she will ever be seen before the
foOtlights,

AT THE ILLINOIS THEATRE.
The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast Now
Playing In Chicago.

Rldyln& In chicago.
Klaw & Erlanger's production of the
Drury Lane spectacle, "The Sleeping
Beauty and the Beast at the Illinois
theatre, Chicago, is the most timely
amusement now being presented in
that city. For the first time in the
history of the American stage there is
on view in the metropolis a genuine
English Christmas spectacle, an enter
tainment SO popular in England that
1t is looked on as an institution. But
while the Illinois production presents
all the spectacular feature of the Lon
don production of the piece, it differs
very materially in all it's other as
poets.
The Englishman is satisfied with
marve1ously beautiful stage pictures,
grand ballets, and professions and en-
sembles presenting large numbers Of
people. The American looks on these
simply as incidental to performance.

incorporated into it that quickness Of
action and the speciality advertisements
so pleasing to the American theatre
patron. The result of thesesschanges
and additions is story that would
prove success even without the mar

gorgeous costuming presented during
the progress of the performance.
Several people who saw the piece at
Drury Lane, and have witnessed it
here since it opened at the Illinois. say
that the k1aw & Granger production
far surpasses the original, notson1y in
clever Encouragement of .the story. but
also in the improved way the scenic
features are handled. Klaw & Erlan-

morous interest, which, interpreted BY
such clever comedians as Harry Bull

John Hyams and John Page, keep the
audience continually keyed up to a
high pitch of merlin ent. DIV

late Dominick Moran, and a we'll
known resident of the town of Somers,
died Thursday night at the Moran
family residence north of the city
after weeks illness from pneumonia.
The announcement of the death of
Mrs. Moran will come as sad sur
prise to many of her friends as few of
them knew she was seriously i'll.
Mrs. Moran was native of Ireland,
having been born there seventy-three
years ago. She came to Kenosha
county in the early ffties and was
for many years resident of this city.
Later in life she removed to Somers,
where she has since resided. The de-

PAID FOR ELoPEMENT.
Wife of Faithless Husband Secures Money
For Her Husband to Elope.


That she probably furnished the
money which allowed her husband to
elope with his former stenographer, is
the sensational charge made TO the
police Thursday by Mrs. William
Bremen, of Milwaukee, as result Of a
dispatch Thursday morning from
Syracuse, N. Y, telling of the elope
merit Of Miss Ella Jansen, of MilM au-
kee, with a William Bremen, or
Bremen, of Kenosha.
Recently Mrs. Bremen furnished her
husband with about $3.50, she told Chief
Jansen, of Milwaukee, with which to
furnish bonds as demanded by Ke-
nosha Brass company, by which he
was to be employed, but since the pub
LEGATION of the story of the Syracuse
elopement she has learned that her
husband never applied for work to the
Kenosha firm. After reading of the
marriage of Miss Jansen at Syracuse
Thursday Mrs. Bremen went to Chief
Jansen and this in brief is the story
she told.
"My husband and have been mar
ried for twelve years, and until year
ago last August all had been pleasant
between us. He was one of the officers
of the Bremen Bicycle company and
for the last two years he was IN that
business had Miss Jansen as his type
writer. I was told that they were
pretty good friends, but thought moth
ing of that.
I'm 1891 he went to Salt Lake City,
where he had bought gold mine, he
told me. This spring he wrote back
that he needed some money to get ma
chinery for the mine. I had been
saving what money I could from the
money he gave me when he was in the
bicycle business and sent him the $3.50
he asked me for. Then while ago he
said he needed $3.50 more to get ma
-hinery to pump the mine out with.
The first money I sent him, he said.

but it had filled up with water. I

him hadn't got it. Well, he said he
would give up mining and came home.
That was about two weeks ago. Then
he tried to get work at Kenosha and
one day came home and said that he
could have job collecting on the road

and gave him the money.

that he had been running theatrical
business out there.

had been West, too, but until | read
this morning that theatrical agent

PROSPERITY FROM TARIFF.
Canada Is Enjoying Good Times
without Resorting to the Repub-
Hcan Method of Protection.

The United States and Canada are
two great countries with a border
line 5000 miles long. Naturally it
might be supposed that an economic
system that would benefit n would
also benefit the other. Such, how
ever, does not appear to be the case,
if the statesmen in charge are to be
believed.
The republicans who are "it" in
the management of our trust ridden
government are perfectly certain
that the prosperity which they talk
so much about Ito make sure that
we have it) is due to our high pro-
lection policy, inaugurated five years
ago. Canada lowered her tariff du-
ties about the time we raised ours,
and the statesmen there are now
crediting their prosperity to these
lower duties. A recent issue of the
Toronto Globe says:
"If under any scale of duties the
industries of a country are prosper
ing, higher duties cannot be justified
even on grounds of expediency. The
country has now been for five years
under a tariff very considerably low
err than that which prevailed in the
previous II years. a period amply
sufficient to test the efficacy of high
protection. The prosperity of our
industries under the low tariff has
far exceeded that enjoyed under the
high tariff. The result is that the
extreme protectionists are forced
back upon the idea Of retaliation
pure and simple. The United States

TAGGING THE PRESIDENT.
How the Trusts Are Going to Ensure
the Continuation of Pro-
tectIon'n Aid.

Two political events occurred on
Tuesday, September 16, that will have
a ~far-reaching effect on the politics OF
the country. That they happened
simultaneously may have been an acci-
dent but would point to a deep-laid
plan.
On that day President Roosevelt had
called together at Oyster Bay the lead
ers of his party TO consult with them
about the position he should take on
the tariff and the trusts in his political
speeches in the west.
On the same day Speaker Henderson
declined to accept a denomination to
congress, giving as the reaso that "a
great many" republicans in his district
were in favor of reforming the tariff
by taking off the protection that the
Dingley bill gives to the trusts.
Both the president and the speaker
of the house of representatives had
discovered that "a great many" repub-
licans wanted reform. They were tired
of paying more for the trust made
goods than the same goods were being
sold to foreigners for. Speaker Hen
derson had through the power of his
political machine stifed the voice of
these independent republicans, and on
the face of the returns his convention,
made up of office holders and political
strikers. renominated him and made
a platform of his OWL choosing of the
patented stripe. This happened in
May. He returns to his district in Sep
TENDER and finds the voice of the peo-
Pile crying aloud for reform. He re-

signed the nomination, a very honest
and sensible thing to do under the cir
cumstances, as his own interests were
at variance with the voters.
Over 100 republican nominees for
congress, if honest should take the
same step. Grosvenor and others of
Ohio; Hemenway and Lands and Over
street. of Indiana; Loudenslager and
Others in New Jersey, and so the lists
Of states might be gone through.
Nearly every congressman from Iowa,
if honest, would step aside. All these
and others know that tariff reform
sentiment is overwhelming in the cen
trail and western states. President
Roosevelt also has discovered, even in
New England, that tariff-reform senti-
ment was rampant. but he did not have
the pluck of Henderson. He looked for
a wav to evade the issue that he knew
was right and on the side of the people.
His conscience told him that he should
boldly champion their cause against
the trusts and corporations. But he
needed it not and called in the chosen
protection advocates, knowing what
their advice would be before he
asked it.
The senatorial .iunta that controls
legislation. through their power as
chairmen of the important commit
tees, decided of course, that reform OF
the tariff must not be an issue. The
president must go to the western
states and make no promise of relief
from the real of the enormous
prices of the n~ecessaries of life. Thus
the trusts have the president gagged
his talks to the people will be stifled
by the orders of the senatorial iunta,
The coincidence of the announcement
of the retirement of Henderson at the
very time the senators were persuad-
ing the president to forego tariff dis.
c~ussions. is so remarkable that it is
easv to believe that the trusts are bach
of both these extraordinary announce
ments.
All the senators present have beer
consistent friends of the combines ant
corporations. every vote they havt
cast, the bills they have s%mothered, al
prove this. Now when the pinch come!
and an e~rratic president is to be las
seed, why should they not all join in
plan to corral him?
Henderson will soon get his reward
but will the president reach his am
bition?
How Hanna and the trust magnate
must be laughing in their sleeves a
