MRS. EDDY REPLIES TO
MARK TWAIN'S CRITICISMS

| Concord, \. H., JAN 19.-In view OF
the circula ton of certain criticisms
from the pen of Mark Twain, | have
submitted the following statement:

Twain's wit was not wasted in certain
directions. Christian Science eschews
divine rights in human beings. If the

pure monotheism.-one God, one
Christ, no idolatry. no human propa-

what feeds a few feeds all. His life

spiritual, and ne left this legacy of
truth to mankind. His metaphysics

TALES OF THEATRE

Rock Islanders had their first home
performance of the popular Flora
dora" at the Illinois last evening. Al
though the production has been on
the road two years and had been wit
messed in other cities by local theatre
goers, it had never been presented
here before. So there was big audi
ence out to see il. There is little
catchy music in "Floradora" aside
from the Pretty Maiden" seXtet,
Under the Shade of the Palms" and
The Military Man." but these, par
ticularly the former, catch on in great
style, ana seem to make up for the
less pleasing portions. The company
seen here was above the average of
road excellence, including Karl Stahl,
NJ. j. Smith. j. \. Wallerstedt, q. Il.
Jackson, Anna Boyd, Louise Moore.
Eugene F'lagg, and strong and we'll
trained chorus. The scenery and cos
tunes were elaborate.

Two additional houses were ran
sacked in the absence of the occu-
pants Saturday night. According to
all accounts the two jobs were done
within a short space of time of each
| other. The methods used were iden-
teal with those that have been en-
| plOyed to loot half a dozen other res
| licences in the recent past and with
out any doubt all have been done by
the same parties.

Here also a window was pried up and
the sash lock broken. The fact that
the house had been broken into was
noticed by the neighbors yesterday
morning and when the police investi-
gated they found that everything in
the place had been rummaged
through. Contents of closets, draw
ers and trunks were scattered about
the floor and even the beds were torn
apart.
The police have no clue in either
case and are mystified. This sort of
work is evidently being done by some
one who is entirely familiar with the
city and who takes great pains to
keep posted upon the comings and
goin9s of the victims. That there
are at least two men is known. \

Well Known Resident of the City
Disappears Under Unusual Cir
cumstanGes Saturday.
MAY HAVE MET WITH ACCIDENT
Was Seen Last Saturday Night on Park
Street But Since That Time No
Trace of Him Can be Found.

John O'Hare a we'll known resident
of Kenosha, is mysteriously missing
from his home at the corner of South
and Congress streets, and all efforts to
find any trace of his wherea bouts have
for forty-eight hours proved to be IN
vain. The missing man dropped out
of sight on Saturday night shortly
after eleven o'clock, and his disappear
ance has given the police and his
friends one of the hardest problems
that have been presented in many
day. There is no reason to suspect
that O'Hare committed suicide, nor
was there any reason why he should
leave the city without notifying his
friends. Mr.. O'Hare was last seen by
Peter Stahl about eleven O'Clock Sat-
urday night, and at that time he start
ed to walk toward the lake on Park
street. Later it is claimed that he
walked north on Exchange street and
after this his disappearance is as COM
plete as if the earth had opened and
swallowed him up. His friends believe
that he has either met with foul play
or with an accident, as he was never
known to remain away from home over
night before.
The missing man has been unable
to work for some time on account of
an in jured foot, but he had almost re-
covered and shortly before he disap-
peared on Saturday, he was talking to
his relatives in regard to position
which he hoped to secure this week.
He was in a very hopeful mood and
seemed to be anxious to get back to
work again. He left his friends short
ly before six o'clock, but he was seen
about town during the evening and he
gave no notice to any one that he was
planning to leave Kenosha. Seeming
ly he was in the best of health and
spirits, and for this reason his strange
disappearance seems even harder of
solution.
Just before he disappeared he COM
planned that his foot had been paining
him again and it is thought possible
that he walked down TO the docks and
that he tainted and fell into the water.
The missing man is ffty-six years
of age, and had resided in Kenosha for
many years. When he left home he
was dressed in dark suit and wore
derby hat. He carried a new cane
which he had purchased on Saturday.
This morning the police aided by
the friends of the missing man, took
up the search and every part of the
city is being visited in hope of locat-
ing him. The officials of other cities,
both north and south, have been noti-
fed of the disappearance of O'Hare
and he will be easily discovered should
he appear in any of the cities.

The sheriff and police of the city are
searching for a band of hoodlums
which invaded Jacobs Island Sunday
and did great deal of damage. AS .
GROWING effort to their work of de-
straction the men proceeded to tear
down the bridge which connects the
island with the main land. The bridge
was so badly damaged that It is now
useless and if the island is to be used
duting the coming summer new
bridge will have to be erected.
This morning John Hoffman acting
for the owners of the island swore out
warrants for the arrest of John Doe,
Riehard Roe, John Smith and John
Brown the real names of the offending
parties being unknown to the COM
plainant. The officers have clue to
the identity of the men and it is prob
able that ali of them will be arrested
and lodged in jail in short order.
No punishment is too great for these
smart alexis who have no regard for

REGISTERED FROM KENOsHA
Miss Tempest Leeper of Jacksonville. I'LL.
Commits Suicide In Hotel at ST. Louis.

Miss Tempest Leeper of Jacksonville. ILL.,.
Commits Suicide In Hotel at st. Louis.
Miss Tempest Leeper, beautiful
young woman from Pierre, S. D., COM
mitted suicide in the Lindel hotel IN
St. Louis last Saturday afternoon, and
her rash act in the western city mys-
tilted Kenosha people for several hours.
Miss Leeper had registered at the
Lindel under the name OF Miss Della
Dare Of Kenosha, and when her lifeless
remains were found, kilograms were
hurriedly sent to Kenosha to make in
quiries in regard to the young woman,
and it. was discovered that she had
formerly received treatment in this
city, having been sent here for a visit
and recreation.
Miss Leeper was % years of age and
was a daughter of the late Judge
Leeper of the United States Court.
The young woman's mind had been
sadly affected by the death of her
father, and for some time she had been
living in sanitariums about the
country. Only a few days ago she
was taken to Jacksonville, ILL.,, and on
last Thursday she escaped from her
guards and managed to catch train
for St. Louis. AS soon as she reached
the city she went to the hotel and
registered under the assumed name.
She went to room and wrote NUM-
Der of letters and retired. She left her
room early Saturday morning and
secured a bottle of carbolic acid, and
returning to the room she drank the
acid and died while being taken to the
hospital
She left nothing behind to tell the
reason for her rash act. The remains
were sent to South Dakota for inter
ment.
An investigation shows that Miss
Leeper had been in Kenosha twice dur
ing the present year and this fact prob
ably accounts for her taking this city
as a home when registering in ST.
Louis.

Ministers Decided Not to Forn4 an Assoc
citation Until After Summer Months.
The meeting of the ministers this
morning, which was planned as the
meeting for the organization of an
association, proved to be df little
interest to the general public, as the
ministers decided to delay the organi-
cation of the society until next Sep
TENDER. This action was taken on
account of the fact that the summer is
coming on, and many of the ministers
will find it hard enough to do the
regular work without being forced to
attend to the work of the association.
The constitution for the association
has been drawn up, and it proclaims
that the association will be one for the
mutual benefit of the ministers. If a
more united fight against sin is nee.
essary or advisable the ministers will
be ready to take it up as unit, but
this is not considered the main function
Of the association.
The meeting for completing the or
ganization of the association will be
held early in September.

YACHT WHISTLES FOR HELP.
Vessel Supposed 60 Be the Irvan of Chicago
Encountered Trouble Off Zion City.

Vessel Supposed 60 Be the Irvan of Chicago
Encountered Trouble Off Zion City.
A steam yacht supposed to be the
Iryan, owned in Chicago, was in dis
tress off Zion City Sunday evening,
but on account of the heavy fog it was
impossible to see the vessel. The
yacht was said to be the property of
the Walters of Chicago, but members
of the family said they did not know of
such boat.
At the Columbia and Chicago Yacht
clubs it was said that few boats left
the basin Sunday on account of the
fog and disagreeable weather. No
calls for help were received at the
Evanston life saving station and no
news of the boat reached the Chicago
station. There was only light sea
running and little fear was entertained
for the safety of any boats that were
out.
At Zion City the sound of the whistle
was heard about O'Clock. After an
hour the boat seemed to have passed
south. The yacht finally reached har-
Dor at Waukegan.
