Eugene +. Ware of Kansas, to be

Sions-such was the announcement of
the appointment made by President
Roosevelt. Many who read 1t did not
know who the appointee was, says a
dispatch from Topeka to the st. Louis
Post Dispatch. Had the nom de plume
of Ironquill been used instead of the
name it would have created more in

en- editions in England and as many in
this country he is the author of eight
lines which brought him into more
prominence than all the rest OF the
more finished literary efforts.
On May 3. 1893, a Topeka lawyer
read of the wonderful victory of Amer
lean brains at Manila bay. He worked
awhile over briefs and cases, but bis

dashed off few lines and felt better.
No one happened to be in the office, no
one noticed him go IN or out. The eight
lines he wrote were unsigned. The city
editor found them and guessed who
had left them. Under them he wrote
"Tronquill' and ran the two verses the
next morning at the top of the editorial
page at the request of the managing
editor. Here are the verses:
Oh, Cewey was the morning

The president is said to be especially
partial to fighters and writer's. Gene
Ware is both. He is a veteran of the
civil war and poet and rhymer OF
more than the ordinary run. Ware was
a harness maker. He followed that
calling in Kansas after the war. He
still says, despite the fact that he is
lawyer and poet, that his real profess
sion is harness making and that he can
now make as good a set of coach or
plOw harness as any man in the bust
ness While Ware was making harness
in a small Kansas town friend was
printing whatever came his way. He

Scores of Houses Robbed During the

An Albany special says scores OF
burglaries have been perpetrated in

ENTERTAINED AT DINNER.
Workmen at Wells & Messier Celebrate
the Birthday of Their Chief.

Workmen at Wells & Messier Celebrate
the Birthday of Their Chief.
Frank Wells, of the Wells & Messier
Machine Shops, celebrated the thirty
seventh anniversary of his birth
yesterday and in honor of the event
the workmen at the shop were enter
tanned at an elaborate dinner at the
home of Mr.. Wells on Eagle street last
evening. In honor Of the men the
home of Mr.. Wells was beautifully
decorated with palms and flowers and
thirty guests sat down about the table.
After dinner was over the men spent
a very pleasant evening with cards
and music. At the close of the eve
ming William Swartout presented Mr..
Wells with a beautiful opal ring as
a token of the kindly feeling between
the men and the managers of the shop.
In accepting the ring Mr.. Wells made
short talk to the men in which he
told how much the fellowship of
employers and men had done for the
Wells & Messier company.
This kindly feeling between en-
p1oyer and employee has made the
factory one of the most successful in
the city, and it is interesting to note
that the business of the factory is
steadily increasing.

NEW ITALIAN COLONY.

Northwestern Railway Co. Furnishes a
Home for Workmen North OF City.
The Chicago and Northwestern COM
pany is placing new ballast on their
tracks north of the city. The work of
building new track between Chicago
and Milwaukee will probably be started
il few weeks. A large crowd of
Italians are employed in doing the
work and the company has opened a
regular Italian colony north of the
city. The workmen make their homes
in box cars which have been placed on
a side track there. The box cars are
SO fitted out as to make comfortable
home for the Italians. They contain
suitable apartments for sleeping rooms
and have dining rooms and places for
cooking. AS yet the company has not
seen fit to provide the workmen with a
French cook, but this matter will
probably be taken up later. It is
probable that the work on the tracks
will keep the Italians busy for the rest
of the season.

Police Arrest Four Boys Caught in the Act
of Jumping on Moving Trains.
The police of Kenosha have decided
to put an end to the practice of boys
jumping on moving trains at the
North Western station and Wednesday
night three police officers who were on
guard about the depot managed to ar
rest four boys in the act of jumping on
and off the trains. The boys have not
as yet had a hearing but it is proba BILE
that they will be given a chance to re-
form and allowed to go with light
fine.
For some time a crowd of young
boys in the city have been in the habit
of Jumping" trains at the station and
several of them have narrowly escaped
death. For the preservation of the
boys the police have decided that it is
time to take some effective means to
put an end to the practice. Far warn
ing has been given to all the boys and
in the future all will be arrested and
fined as the law provides.

GIFT FOR THE LIBRARY.
Woman's Club Of Kenosha Presents It's
Library to the City Library

Woman's Club of Kenosha Presents Its
Library to the City Library.
At the annual meeting of the Wo-
mans club held last Saturday it was
decided that the club library, consist
ing Of us volumes, should be pre-
sented to the Gilbert M. Simmons
library. For the last ten years the
members of the club have been gath
ering their library and in many ways
it was one of the finest collections of
books of reference in the city. AS the
books were purchased especially for
the use of the club women mar of the
books were not already on the shelves
of the library and the number of du-
p1icates will be very small.
The club library will be shelved at
once and will be open for the use of
the general public within few days.
Since the club secured quarters
in the library building the members
have found it very easy for them to
take books from the public library and
for this reason it was decided to merge
the smaller collection into the larger
one.

HILL GETS A PATENT.
Kenosha Man is Award Patent on His
New Reversing Engine.

New Reversing Engine.
Joseph Hill received notification
Wednesday that he had been granted
a patent on his quick reverse engine
for automobiles. The application for
the patent was made some time go and
now that the engine is protected
against infringments it is probable
that they will be offered to the trade.
For some time the engines have been
made at the little factory at the home
of Mr.. Hill, but an effort will now be
made to interest capital in the inyen-
ton and secure the erection of larger
factory.
The engine created favorable i'm
preston at the recent automobile show
and several leading manufacturers
have been considering its use. It has
many points of excellence and will
surely make great hit if it is proper
1y placed on the market. While seek
ing capital to put the engine on the
market the ma chines will continue to
be turned OFT by the Hill Engine COM
