Chlcaqo's Centennial.

The Chicago Historical society,
through its executive committee, has
expressed in favor of the commemor
alton and celebration on Aug. 1, 1903,
as the centennial anniversary of the
founding of Chicago. Resolutions were
adopted in which the committee calls
attention to the fact that the date
chosen marks the passage of one hun
dred years since the Federal troops,
commanded by Lieut.. Swearingen, es-
tablished Fl. Dearborn at the mouth
of the Chicago river and laid the foun-
dalton of Chicago. The. occasion, in
the opinion of the committee, marks
the real beginning of the city's his
tory, rather than the arrival of John
Kinzie, as has been suggested.

SUPPORTING" THE PAPER,

The old plea that newspaper is
something that business men and SUBJ
scribers must support is nearly died
out in Shenandoah, says the Shenan-
doah Iowa) Sentinel. There is no
reason why a paper should have .ssup-
port" than a grocer or shoe dealer
should have support. The newspaper
should be placed exactly where it be-
longs, on a par with every other BUSH
ness and people should buy its goods
just as they do from any other bust
ness because it has something to sell
that they want.
The subscriber buys the Sentinel for
a year because it has news they want
to read. The advertiser buys column
of space in the Sentinel because by
using it they can reach nearly four
thousand families or readers. The
subscriber does not buy the Sentinel
to help Marvin or Reininger or any.
body else and he usually does not care
two cents who is publishing the paper
what he is interested inis the paper it.

for he is satisfied, no matter whether
the news items are written by Jones OF
Brown or somebody else. The adver'
tiser does not buy a hundred dollar ad
vertisement in the Sentinel to helI
Marvin, but to help himself. That il
exactly the position every business
man should take toward all newspap
ers. Buy papers and buy space be

OF CARRIE NATION.
Lora Mundt, OF Racine Comes to Kenosha
and Starts Crusade Against Saloons.

Lora Mundt, OF Racine Comes to Kenosha
and Starts Crusade Against Saloons.
Kenosha saloons had a taste Of a
visit from one of the Carrie Nation
type Friday night when Mrs. Lora
Mundt, denizen of Racine, came to
the city and proceeded to inaugurate a
crusade against the saloons. The cru
SADIE was on the lines adopted by Carrie
Nation, but It is possible that It was
not actuated by the same feeling of re-
pugnance for the saloons and the pro-
ducts sold there.
Mrs. Mundt ran anuck on the North
side late in the evening and was ar
rested on charge Of disorderly con
iuct and landed in the woman's de-
partment of the county jail. She was
just sober enough to be indignant at
her arrest and promised to make al!
kinds of trouble for the officer who
had taken her IN. 1t seems that Mrs.
Mundt came to Nenosha early Friday
afternoon and early in the evening she
started in over on the West side. She
created quite reign Of terror among
the saloons in that section of the city
and while she did little smashing she
managed to pour large amount of the
confiscated stuff down her gullet so
that before the night was well ad
vanced she was pretty conversational.
The woman can not be punished in
Kenosha and for this reason she was
allowed to leave the Jail this morning
and she at once left the city for
Racine. The law in regard to the ar
rest Of intoxicated women in this city
seems to be very defective as 1t does
not give the court the right to fine the
women arrested. There are number
Of women about the town who make a
practice of drinking heavily and they
have been repeatedly arrested, but the
only penalty connected with the arrest
is night in the county jail.

CASES ARE DISMISSED.

For the Assault Of John Schmitz.

Oscar Taylor to Bear the Brunt Of'sBlame
For the Assault Of John Schmitz.
Oscar Taylor is to be forced to bear
the brunt of the blame for the tarring
of John Schmitz, of the village of
Pleasant Prairie, as this morning the
cases against other people of the town
were dismissed by Schmitz's attorneys
and they we're all released from
custody.
The cases against Bert Guest, Frank
Rockwell and John Johnson we're
called in Justice Hastings court this
morning while those against Earl
Yates and Raymond MCNEIL were
called before Justice McCarron. The
complaining witnesses did not make
an appearance in either court and the
cases were wiped from the docket.
The costs in these cases will all be
charged to the county. Mr.. Taylor,
the one man found guilty on the charge
has completed an appeal of the case to
the Circuit court and an effort will be
made to have the case dismissed on a
technicality.
It seems evident from the DISPOSE
ton of the cases that Taylor was the
only man whom the plaintiff sought to
convict and this gives proof of tbs fact
that it is his plan to begin civil &C
tion for damages against Taylor.

ALLEGES A CONSPIRACY
Rand-NIcNally Company Seek to End Labor
Troubles BY q Suit Against Union Mon


Troubles by Suit Against Union Men
Rand, McNally & Co., Of Chicago,
the firm which is now seeking loca-
ton Ia Kenosha, has begun suit
against Franklin Union No. of Press
feeders, for $4,000 damages, charging
conspiracy to ruin business. The case
which will be conducted by Attorneys
Allen and Wessemenn, will be prose-
cuted thoroughly and, under the law,
if Judgment is secured sand not paid,
mprisonmeut:o the officers and mem.
bers of the union made defendant to
the suit will be demanded.
/ Franklin Union is one of the few in-
corporated labor organizations in Chi
cago, and as such is more liable under
the law than non-incorporated labor
organizations. It has a massed large
fund and has now on hand about $40,-
600 surplus, besides $4,000 worth of
real estate in the western part of the
city.
The firm claims to be able TO show
in court an actual money loss on ac-
count of the oppression of the union
men, by displaying contracts on hand
at The time the trouble began and
proving the failure to fulfill those con-
tracts because of the hostility of the
workinen.
In the bill Franklin union is further
charged with encouraging its mem
bers to acts of malicious mischief in
order TO ruin the business of Rand,
McNally & Co., and with illegally boy
cotting the firm.
sThis suit is not brought by the
Anti-boycott associations" said At
torney Wessemenn yesterday. st is
brought by the firm 3of Rand, McNally
& Co., alone, and that firm intends to
fight the case to the fullest extent. It
is intended tostest the law in such
matters, and if Judgment is secured
and not paid, Imprisonment of mem
bers of the union will be insisted upon
for full term or until the judgment is
paid. For refusing to pay judgments
of this character defendants can be
imprisoned for six months"
It is claimed that the decision of the
big company to leave Chicago was
made largely on account of the action
of the union. Thess two McNallys are
still looking for suita le.location for
the plant and Kenosha is considered
with favor.

KEEP YOUR DOORS LOCKED.
The Burglar Is Coming to Town Tomor-
row Night.

In the play, "The Burglar" the spec
tator is led through series of home
pictures to the sensation of repulsive
burglar, discovered redhanded in his
nefarious calling by child years of
age, who, unusual to relate, instead of
being scared out of her wits at the
Intruder, is more alarmed that her low
ed ones, father and mother, shall be
disturbed or bodily injured by coming
in contact with the midnight marau-
der. The child, in her precocious
fear for others, is willing to aid
the burglar in his selection of plumber
and an interview between the two has
no counter part in the annals of theat-
rical lore.s It must be seen to be ap
preciated.

WOMEN AS BURGLARS.
Two Young Women Break Into the Stand
of Tony Magnan and Steal Candy.

The police Of the city have an UNI
usual case of burglary. The case is
unusual on account of the fact that the
accused parties are two young women.
A few nights ago the young women
went to the home Of Tony Magnan in
the town of Pleasant Prairie and broke
into the travelling shop of the Italian
and stole large quantity Of candy
and gum. The girls were seen in the
act of taking the booty from the wagon
but they managed to escape capture.
The police have refused to take up
the matter on account of the fact that
the crime was committed outside of
the city but it is probable that the
matter will be taken up by the sheriff
and he will make an effort to secure
the arrest of the girls.
