AN OPEN LETTER.
"A Business Man. Pleads for More Protec-
tion for the Women of Kenosha.

"A Business Man" Pleads for More Protec-
ton for the Women of Kenosha.
There is a condition in existence
here in Kenosha that the officials of
the city are very much to blame for,
and which is leading to most serious
results. Ofscourse, every place has its
species of rowdyism, but the one in
vogue here is becoming intolerable.
1t is becoming almost unsafe for
women to walk the streets unaccom.
panied by a male escort, especially if
they be strangers and of an attractive
appearance. Almost every corner, or
saloon front, is sure to be occupied
with from one to half dozen young
fellows who are ready to stare any
female out Of countenance, if they do
not go SO far as to make remarks about
her as she passes, sufficiently loud
enough to be heard.
They do not stop at this; for they
often set up trill, or whistle, or call
after her. Sometimes from the oppo-
site side of the street. This is no ex-
aggeration. It may be noted any
hour of the day or night. The peculiar
part of the affair is that the police
have never, so far as am aware, in
any way interfered with the practice.
If they are about they pay no attention
to it.
It is somethingtof great improperly.
A practice which leads to very bad re-
suits, and is as much violation of the
peace as some ether things the police
are quick to observe. A few arrests
and some heavy fines might work
reform. Or, are the patrolmen afraid
of making enemies of these young
ruf6ans?
A BUSINESS MAN.

EUTING CASE REVERSED.
Supreme Court Decides That Railway Co.
is Responsible for Acts of Its Agents.

Supreme Court Decides That Railway Co.
is Responsible for Acts of It's Agents.
The Supreme Court at Madison has
handed down a decision reversing the
decision of Judge Belden in the suit of
Charles Euting VS.. The North Western
Railway company, which was tried at
the recent term Of the Circuit Court in
this city.
1899 aud by the decision of the court
it will be remanded for another trial in
the Circuit Court of this county.
In some ways the case was one of the
most interesting ever brought before
the court ard the ruling will establish
precedent which will aid much in the
settlement Of the suits against the
company IN the future.
On July 4th, 1899, Euting, who was
then ten years of age, was playing in
Central Park with number of his
companions. A switch engine was on
the temporary tracks of the company
In the park and fireman on the en-
CINE secured a torpedo, and in order to
assist in the celebration of the day he
placed it on the track. The engine
ran over the torpedo and piece of it
flew and struck young cutting, making
a wound which resulted in his being
permanently disabled.
As soon as possible Attorney Nor
man L. Baker was appointed as guar
dian for the boy and in this relation
he brought a suit against the com
pany for $4,000 damages and an equal
amount as exemplary damages. After
several terms of court had passed the
case was brought to trial before Judge
Be1den, who instructed the jury TO
bring a verdict for the defendant. At
company, admitted that the fireman
had placed the torpedo on the track,
but he declared that it had not been
done in carrying out any duty for the
company, but for the sole purpose of
celebrating. Mr.. Baker held that this
fact did not matter, as the 6renien
was charged by law to guard and safe
ly keep torpedoes as well as carefully
use them. The court took the view
advocated by Attorney Hyzer, but the
action of the Supreme Court shows
that the higher judges have taken the
view of Mr.. Baker.
Now that the case has been re-
manded it is probable that settlement
will be reached out of court and the
Euting boy will receive some damages
from the company.

The Street Commissioners should
make i their business to see that the
crossings over the Northwestern rail
way are kept in better repair. The
condition of the walk on the Prairie
avenue crossing of the road is dis
grace to the city. More people use
that street than any other in the city,
with the possible exception of Main
street, but apparently no attempt is
made by the company to keep the
crossing over its track even in noder-
ately good repair.

DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
Rev. Paul Korn, of SHADES Corners. Drops
Dead at Wedding.

Universal sorrow and regret was
caused among the German Lutherans
of Kenosha Friday evening by the an
nouncement of the sudden death of the
Rev. Paul Korn of SHADES Corners, one
of the oldest and best known German
Lutheran ministers in the county.
The death of Mr.. Korn occurred on
Thursday evening and the final sum-
mons came while he was attending
celebration of the silver wedding of
two of his parishioners. Mr.. Korn
had been in usual health during the day
and in the evening he had gone to the
social gathering and had been the life
of the party. Genial and whole souled
he had smile for every one and his
laugh was the merriest in the party.
Late in the evening he was siezed
with an attack of heart disease and fell
forward in his chair. Before medical
aid could be secured the minister had
expired.
The deceased was 81 years of age
and had been in charge of the German
Lutheran church at SHADES Corners for
several years. Under his direction
the church had prospered and it was
one of the strongest societies of the
denomination in this part of the State.
The dead minister took great deal of
interest in the people of SHADES Corners
and the surrounding territory, and his
interest did not stop with the narrow
confines of his congregation. On ac-
count of this genial, hearty spirit, Mr..
Korn became a favorite with all and
his death has come as shocking SUR
prise.
The deceased was well known
among the Lutherans of Kenosha and
several times he had charge of the
pulpit in the local church.
He is survived by wife and six
children. Before coming to SHADES
Corners Rev. Korn was in charge of
churches at Florence, Wis, and Hyde,
Mich.
