Bold SwindIers From Chicago Sell
Ancient Eggs to the Housewives
of Ken0sha.
WANTED FOR HORSE STEALING.
Two Smooth Swindlers Hired Horse From
Ben G. Stahl and the Animal Is Found
at Waukegan-Men had Flown.
(From Thursdays Daily

Poor old gullib1e Kenosha got her
craw filled up again this week, when a
couple of sharpers, sswho had grown
weary of taking the rubes to see the
exposition, and had sold the Masonic
Temple so many times that the stock
of abstracts had run out, dropped into
the city with couple of hundred cases
of eggs. Not ''strictly fresh, !" 'fresh'
or even "packed" eggs, but just eggs.
These eggs formed the basis for two
days. work which must have been OF a
remunerative nature to the two men,
and the careful economical housewives
of the city are doing Lenten penance
because they did not patronize home
industries.
The men were also smooth enough to
secure horse and wagon from Ben
Stahl which they utilized for several
days without money and without price.
They left the horse and vehicle at
Waukegsn, having no further use for
it, and the Kenosha liveryman man
aged to recover it there Wednesday.
The game was sufficiently new to
allow the sharpers to get away with
out leaving any trace of their present
| location. If any of the officers desire
to start on the trail they should expert
ence little trouble by calling at any of
the places where the eggs were sold,
and it will be an easy matter to get
scent which should be loud enough to
speak volumes of the escaped men.
The fellows went around the city
from door to door, without leave or
license, offering strictly fresh eggs for
sale at point far abelow the market
price. Of course it looked like bar
gain, and"the women of Keuosha get
tired of the dull monotony of life with
no bargainadays, and at once accepted
he invitation to buy arr bite. The
into the city, and one woman declared
| that out of a two dozen basket pur
chased she did not secure a good egg.
In no case were more than one-ffth of
them found to be fit for use.
Since the failure of the turf invest
ment concerns it4has been pretty diff
cult to get something for nothing, and
it is to be hoped that in the future the
women of Kenosha will be willing to
trust the local dealers for bargains in
household necessities.
An effort is being made to locate the
two men, andE if they are found it is
probable that charge of horse steal
ing will be placed against them. There
is little reason to believe that they will
be found, however, as they have prob
ably returned to Chicago and are get
ting the stock of gold bricks ready for
the Chicago coming of the Kenosha
marks.

Little Pleasant Prairie Village Sue
cumbs to the Scare of Single
Case of Smallpox.
Y. S. POSTOFFICE IS DESERTED
Farmers Refuse to 60 Near the Office and
the Mail for the Station Is Being Left
at Randan-Schools Closed

The widest excitement prevails at
Erly, a small station in the town of
Pleasant Prairie, sson account of the
fact that single case of smallpox has
been discovered. The schools have
/ been closed, the children vaccinated,
and even the little postofice at the
residence of John Clauson has been
closed up tight, and the few letters
that are accustomed to come to the
village are being dropped off the train
at Ranney Junction, and the farmers
are given their mail from this point.
Louis Schneehagens, the cause of
all this turmoil in the little hamlet, is
IN the meanwhile sleeping peacefully
IN the pest house just outside of Keno
sha, and before the excitement of to-
day dies down he will probably be
ready to go back to the village and
take up his work again.
Erly had never had case of small
pox, and when it became definitely
known that the man who had left the
Clanson home on Sunday was down
with the disease, the people began to
hold their noses as they walked past
the postoffice, and the Health Officer
or the town was ordered to send a
hurry-up order for vaccine and see to
it that everyone in the neighborhood
was properly vaccinated.
The school children were called home
in hurry. and the tending of sore
arms was soon the main industry of
the villagers. The Health Officer took
charge of the school, and the odor of
fumigators could be noticed as far as
the residence of Chrit Holt. The
farmers met in body, and decided
that as John C1auson was running the
postofice, and as that he had been en-
ploying the man who had the small
pox, it was decided that the office
should DE given wide berth, and the
farmers are now getting their mail at
Ranney or else coming to the city for
it. 1t is probable that the Office will
be kept closed for several days, and
the children of Mr.. Clauson are being
kept apart from those of other families
IN the neighborhood. The school of
the village will reopen tomorrow
morning, but close watch will be
kept on any suspicious cases of dis
ease.
Of course this is the way to take
care of smallpox quarantine, but to
the people of Kenosha who are accus-
toned to have the disease spring up in
three or four places at once, these
preparations for quarantining seem
extremely war-1ike.
Schneehagens is rapidly recovering,
and some of the doctors of the city
have expressed the opinion that the
man is not suffering from smallpox,
but from rash which he claims to
suffer from every spring.

A BUILDER OF SHIPS.
Otto Schmeling Whittles Out Model of
Battle Ship Maine With a Knife,

Otto Schmeling Whittles Out Model of
Battle Ship Maine With a Knife,
In the window of the Fisher Dry
Goods store there has been placed on
display "a splendid representation of
the battleship Maine. The model con-
tains every feature of the ship, in
Guiding the guns, and even a sailor or
two is scattered about the miniature
decks. The work is admirably done.
The ship is the handiwork of Otto
Schmeling, cripple, and it is all the
more wonderful when it is known that
in making the model of the battleship
Schmeling had no tools to work with
with the exception of a common pocket
knife.
For many months both Schme1ing
and his wife have been confined to
their home, helpless cripples, and in
order to pass the time Schmeling be-
gan to learn to be wood carver. He
had no tools, but he soon became an
adept with the pocket knife. He cut
out model of schooner some time
ago, which attracted attention, but it
is not to be compared with his latest
work.
The model of the batt1eship will be
rallied off to provide funds for the sup
port of Mr.. and Mrs. Schme1ing.

ANOTHER BRINsLEY SUIT.
Elizabeth Brinsley Asks Norman T.. Baker
to Pay Her $500 Held In Trust,

Elizabeth Brinsley Asks Norman L. Baker
to Pay Her $500 Held in Trust,
Summons and complaint has been
served in the suit of Elizabeth Brins1ey
against Norman L. Baker. Ii her
complaint the plaintiff, who is the
wife of Alfred Brins1ey, who recently
brought suit against members of the
local camp of0Modern Woodmen for
damages for false Imprisonment, says
that Mr.. Baker is indebted to her to the
amount of $500, which she left in trust
with him on Aug. %, 1898. In the
complaint Mrs. Brinsley claims that
she has repeatedly demanded the re-
turn of the money.
The suit is the outgrowth of the old
Woodmen trouble and in the form er
case Mr.. Baker was the representative
of Brinsley. The money which Mrs.
Brinsley uow'dema nds was paid to the
attorney to secure settlement of the
case againstsBrinsley and it is claimed
that the money was spent in this
manner.
This second suit has caused quite a
little comment but there is little reason
to believe that it will ever come into
court.

The cosl operators OF the east who
brought about stringency in the
fuel market and forced prices way up
out of sight, are now reaping the right
kind Of reward. That is, they are
getting their just deserts. They
very much overdid the thing. Barges
containing hundreds of tons Of the
best anthracite bought up by specu-
lators and held for still higher prices
side the New York harbor, were held
little too long, and the enterprising
operators who thought to realize i'm
mense sums off of the suffering pub
lie are now compelled TO sell the coal
at auction in order to get enough to
pay for the freightage.
The barges were caught In the ice
and did not get into port in time to
bring the wished for results to the
manipulatOrS. 1t is said the coal will
not bring more than SO ton, and
many provident people are after it in
order to fill their bins thus early in
the spring for next season.

Criminal Coal Operators.

Indiana coal operators on trial in
Judge Chetlain's court for conspiracy
are said to admit having entered into
a formal agreement to fix the price
and restrict the output of fuel. If it
re true then there seems no excuse
whatever for failure to punish them
under existing laws for violations of
common rights, decent business
methods, imposition on the public and
general cussedness. A set of men,
who, in time OF stress like this win
ter, can bring themselves to squeeze
the poor and endanger business and
industry, and lessen the earning power
of men who were liable to be thrown

work, are as morally criminal as any

A Righteous Veto.

During the closing hours of congress
the president sent in veto which,
though ridiculed by the politicians,
should entitle him to added respect
from the people and the members of
the Grand Army of the republic. The
vetoed bill proposed to restore to the
rank of captain Of infantry and place
on the retired list, one Edward L.
Bailey. Notwithstanding the notori-
Gus record Of Bailey, this bill had
passed both houses of congress and
been sent to the president. In his
veto message Mr.. Roosevelt points
Que that Bailey served in the army 26
years, during which time he was
court-martiale seven times, convict
ed Of almost every breach Of the
regulations of which an officer could
be guilty, including embezzlement,
drunkenness, INSTRUMENTATION and dis
order and finally dismissed from the
service. His dismissal from the SER
vice had been ordered by court martial
in 1874, and the sentence mitigated
by executive clemency and Mr.. Roose-
velt refused therefore to permit the
DILL to become law.-Lafayette
