SHOW BIG FALLING OFF.
MOrtuary Statistics Show That Doctors
are Neglectlng Their Duty,

Mortuary Statistics Show That Doctors
are Neglectlng Their Duty.
The report of Register of Deeds
Torrey of the mortuary statistics in
the county is now being prepared, and
it shows great falling off in the num-
Der of births, deaths and'marriages in
the county during the past ten or
eleven months.
The report shows that the population
of the county has been increased by
the birth of 446 babies, decrease of
twenty per cent. from last year. It
shows that there have been 234 deaths
in the county and that the number of
marriages has been but 213. The
Register of Deeds is unwilling to be-
lieve that the county is taking a back
ward step, but insists that the falling
off in the statistics is caused by the
fact that the doctors in the rural dist
riots are not making the proper reports
to the Register.

PETITIONS ARE OUT.
Kenosha's Fight to Secure Passage of
Public Building Bill is to Be
Pushed With vigOr.
MAYOR TAKES OFF HIS COAT.

The fight to secure the passage OF a
bill for the erection Of Public build
ing in Kenosha is now on in earnest,
and in another month the desks Of the
Conpressmen and Senators in Wash
ington will be strewn with petitions
urging the passage of the bill.
Attorney John G. Slater has been
working all day getting out blank pc
titions, and they will be sent to in
fluential people in the city this even
ing. In the circulation of the petitions
Mayor Pfennig will take an important
part, and he has pulled off his coat and
is planning to make the last few
months'of his first term Of Mayor busy
ones. His Spersona1 efforts will be
given to securing signatures to the pc
tition, and as soon as these signatures
are secured the City Council will be
asked to name Commission to go to
Washington to make a fight for the
passage of the bill.
The representatives of the State
seem to think that there is good reason
to believe that the appropriation bills
will be passed at the coming session of
Congress. No omnibus bill will be
passed at this session, and for this
reason it is thought that the prospects
for the passage of few private ap-
preparations will be very rosy. Only
half dozen bills have been filed ask
ing appropriations forllsimilar pur-
poses, and Congressman Cooper was
foxy enough to get his bill in on the
very first day of gthe session SO that If
any of the bills are considered at the
extra session the bills from Beloit and
Kenosha will be included.
The people of the city led by Mayor
Pfennig should make great fight now
to secure the passage of the bill. Post
master Frantz is busy making out sta
tistics which will show the great de-
mand for the building for the use of
the postoffice of the city, and the fig
ures will come as an eye-opener to the
Congressman. These figures will be
copied many times, and it is possible
that printed copies of them will be
sent to every member of the House.
It is the plan of the Mayor and the
City Attorney to have the petitions
signed within the next fortnight SO
that no time may be lost in geeting the
wishes of the people of the city prop
erly before Congress.

Adam Greenwood Lured to Schooner
Pen0bscot and Relieved OF His
MCneyAfter Being Beaten.
TWO MEN PLACED UNDER ARREST
Nose Simono and Herman Hopf Identified
by Greenwood as the Men Who As
saulted Him.-Got Little Booty.

Robbed of his money and va1uables
with his face beaten almost into pulp
Adam Greenwood appealed to the po-
lice Office Monday night for assistance
claiming that he had been heldsup and
robbed while on board the schooner
"Penobscot," which is now in the Ke-
nosha harbor. After an hours work
Officers Stevens and O'Hare arrested
Nose Simono and Herman Hopf, who
we're charged with the crime. Ten
dollars and fifty seven cents which
had been taken from Greenwood was
recovered from Hopf.
Greenwood, who is resident of Ke-
nosha, tells thrilling story of his en-
counter with the hold-uP men and
shows as evidence one of the worst
battered faces ever seen in a justice
court in Kenosha. Greenwood states
that he was drinking in one of the
Main street saloons along about eleven
O'Clock Monday night when he met
four men, two of whom were the sail
ors from the boat. The men seemed
to be willing to spend little money
and Greenwood fingered long over the
wine. Late in the night the quartette
started for the North side and when
the harbor was reached Greenwood was
invited to spend the night on board the
boat.
A sailors life didn't appeal much to
Greenwood but he was willing to rest
awhile and he went on the boat. Then
the trouble began and the men started
the search for Greenwood's money.
They knocked him down and beat him
over the head with their fists and
when Greenwood attempted to escape
from the boat he was carried down in
the hold and forced to give up every
thing of value that was on his person.
He finally managed to escape from his
temporary prison and hurried to the
police Office. Officer O'Hare started on
the case first and Officer Stevens fol-
lowed suit. O'Hare managed to arrest
Simono in the Schlitz hotel and Officer
Stevens, taking his life in his hands,
went down into the hold of the Penob-
scot and dragged Hopf from the lair.
The men did not admit their crime
but the officers managed to force them
to return the money which was imme-
diately identified by Greenwood. Lest
there should be any slip in the prose-
cution of the case Greenwood was also
placed in Jail for safe keeping. He
was in the justice court bright and
early this morning and got out war.
rant for the arrest of the two men.
It is claimed that at least one of the
prisoners is an old offender and it is
claimed by the officers that he has
worked in Kenosha before.
Greenwood is a fit subject for the
hospital but it is probabl that he will
be able to keep up long enough to tes-
tify against the men.
The two men had hearing before
Justice Sturgis today and the case was
continued until Friday. They were
held ia bail of $500.

NikaIi OpaCiCu, an Australian, Found
Dead in His Room at The
Sterling Hotel.
DEATH IS DUE TO AN ACCIDENT.
Man Had Resided In KenOsha But Week
and Was to Have Been Married In
Milwaukee Next Week.

Nika1i Opacicu, an Australian twen-
tY.five years of age, was found dead in
a room at the Sterling Hotel on Newell
street early Sunday morning. Death
was accidental, and resulted from the
man having inhaled large quantity
of illuminating gas. When the dead
BODY of the man was found the room
was completely filled with the gas, and
it was still escaping from an open gas
cock. The remains we're turned over
to the coroner and jury summoned to
view them. Later they were removed
to the Hansen morgue.
Opacicu had been a resident OF Ke-
nosha for only week, having come to
this city from Milwaukee. He had
been living at the Sterling House and
had been employed as laborer by one
of the teamsters of the city. On Sat-
urday evening he seemed to be IN rare
good spirits. He met number OF his
countrymen al the hotel but they went
away shortly after nine O'Clock and
Opacicu after talking with boarders in
the house went up to his room to bed.
This was the last seen of him alive.
Sunday morning the maid called him
for breakfast at the usual hour, and
when he failed to respond to the call
the proprietor was notified. Going to
the upper floor Of the hotel he noticed
an odor of gas. The door of the room
occupied by Opacicu was firmly locked
and the proprietor at once called for
the police. Officer Wade responded to
the call, and when he was unable to
rouse the man he crawled into the
room by the transom. Opacicu was
found lying on the bed stiff and cold,
and it wasg evident that he had been
dead for several hours. Little or moth
ing is known in regard TO the man ia
Kenosha, but it is said that he has a
brother and a brother-in-law residing
In Milwaukee.
The man was'well dressed, and bank
books in his pocketaseemed to indicate
that he was a deposition in several of
the Milwaukee, Savings banks. In
speaking to one of the boarders on last
Saturday night, Opacicu told him that
he had managed to secure good posi-
ton in Milwaukee and that he was
going to Milwaukee this week and
would be gmarried there during the
week. He did not state the name of
the young woman he was to wed, but
intimated that she was one of his own
people. Every effort is being made to
locate the relatives of the man. and no
disposition will be made of the remains
until they are found.
There is little doubt but that the
asphyxiation of .Opacicu was acciden-
tai, and it is thought that gust of
wind blew out the gas after the man
had gone to bed, and when he woke up
he was too much overcome~by it to
secure aid or to shut off the deadly
fumes by his own efforts.

BUILD BIG ICE HOUSE,
Jefferson Company Begin Work on
the Largest House Ever Erec-
ted In Kenosha County.
HARD FIGHT FOR THE TRUST.
Jefferson Company Plans to Control the
Ice Output of KenOsha County DUR
ing the Coming Winter Season.

Work has been started on the largest
ice house ever built in Southern Wis
cousin. 1t will be located on the banks
of Powers Lake and will be the prop
erty of the Jefferson Ice Company of
Chicago. The company has purchas-
ed ten acres of land on the banks Of
the lake and the house and it's access
cries will cover the entire tract. The
house will have capacity of hundreds
of thousands of tons of ice and will
give the Jefferson company the oppor
tunity to practically control the har-
vest of ice on this lake. The big house
will be equipped with the most modern
machinery for handling the ice and it
is expected that it will be ready for
the use of the company by the first of
the year. The company now controls
a large amount of Powers Lake. It
has two large houses on the lake and
another on Benedict's Lake. Switch
tracks have been built by the North
western road to provide union of all
these houses.
The building of the big house shows
that the fight between the Jefferson
company and the Ice Trust is not to
be declared off and Kenosha county
ice fields will undoubtedly be battle
ground during the coming winter. The
Knickerbocker company has made
every effort to prevent the Jefferson
company from opening new ice fields
but the new house at Powers Lake
will make the independent company
almost as strong as the trust. The
business done by the Jefferson COM
pany in Chicago was so large last
season that the company was forced
to purchase ice from other states in
order to supply the,demand. With the
new house filed this year the company
will become seller rather than buy
er.
In order to secure the completion of
the new house before the opening Of
the ice harvest it will be necessary for
the company to employ a large
force of carpenters and builders and it
is probable that the men will be kept
busy working both night and day. The
new house will cost in the neighbor.
hood Of thirty thousand dollars.
1t is also rumored that the Knicker.
booker company will secure the use Of
several non-trust houses at Salem and
in this way all the houses in the coun-
ty will be utilized during the present
season.

SIDES WITH JUDGE HASTINGS.
Oberst Divorce Case Must be Heard in Ke-
nOsha Courts

Oberst Divorce Case Must be Heard in Ke-
nOsha Courts.
Mrs. Carrie Oberst won another vic
tory in her suit for divorce from her
husband, Henry Oberst, when the case
was called before Judge Be1den in Ra-
cine Monday afternoon. The husband
had asked that the case be venued to
the Milwaukee county Circuit Court,
but Judge Belden refused to grant the
venue and insisted that the case must
be tried in this county.
The Milwaukee suit was recently
dismissed in that city pending the ac-
ton of Judge Belden, and his decision
on Monday leaves but the one suit be-
fore the courts. It is reported that as
soon as the divorce action is concluded
Mrs. Oberst will bring suit for dam
ages against the defendant, basing her
claim on personal injuries alleged to
have been received by her.
The case is scheduled to come up at
the March term of the Circuit Court,
and Mrs. Oberst will retain the custo-
dy of her child pending the trial of the
case.

One of the largest eagles ever seen
in this county is now in captivity at
the farm of Eiba Weyhe in the town
OF Pleasant Prairie. The eagle was
captured by Mr.. Weyhe on Sunday
afternoon and is now being housed in
a common chicken coop.
Mr.. Weyhe was walking along the
road near his house when he noticed
the bird running along ahead of him.
1t seemed to be injured and Weyhe
started after it. The eagle showed
fight, but after short struggle it was
subdued and led back to the residence
of its captor. The eagle had evidently
been shot at and had one of its wings
crippled. It measured six feet from
tip to tip.
The bird will not be killed, bat MIR.
Weyhe will make an effort to cure the
wound and release it after it has re-
covered.

SEEK NEWS OF MARRIAGE.
Marriage of Louise Becker and Nels Jen-
sen. Chicago Said to Have Occurred Here

Marriage OF Louise Becker and Nels Jen-
sen. Chicago Said to Have Occurred Here
Chicago people we're in Kenosha to-
day seeking to secure some details or
the marriage of Miss Louise Becker
and Nels P. Jensen of Chicago which
is alleged to have occurred in this city
during the summer of 1896. There
seems to be an urgent reason for the
discovery of the details of the wedding
and the books of the Register Of Deeds
were examined from one end to the
other. No trace of the wedding was
found and if it took place it seems that
there must have been failure on the
part of the minister to make proper
return to the county building. AT the
time the wedding is alleged to have
occurred Kenosha was a wide open
wedding center and it is claimed that
many weddings which we're performed
here at that time were never recorded.

MRS. VIM. HOWE DEAD
Former Well Known Kenosha Lady
Died Monday at Her Summer
Home at Victoria, N. C.
DAUGHTER OF BISHOP THOMPSON

Mrs. Mary Thompson Howe, widow
of the late Rev. William Howe, and for
many years one of the leading young
women of Kenosha, died Monday at
her summer home at Victoria, North
Carolina.
A message was received in Kenosha
this morning announcing the death of
Mrs. Howe but no details have been
received. 1t is thought that she died
from an attack of typhoid fever from
which she had been suffering for sew
eral days. The deceased is survived
by one son, James H. Howe, who was
with her at the time of her death.
The announcement of the death of
Mrs. Howe will cause great deal of
sorrow IN Kenosha. The well known
lady was daughter of the Rt. Rev.
Hugh Miller Thompson, Bishop Of
Mississippi, and in earlier years the
Rector of ST. Matthew's church in this
city. Mrs. Howe was born and raised
here. She remained in the city for
many years after her father had been
called to other fields of labor, and took
commanding place in the society of
the city. Her husband, the late VIII
liam Howe, was son of Colonel Howe,
one of Kenosha's prominent early resi-
dents. Mrs. Howe was woman of
many rare accomplishments, and al
most all of the society people of Keno
sha counted her as personal friend.
The remains have been prepared for
burial and will be brought to this city
for interment by the side of her hus-
band in the Howe family plat in the
city cemetery.
