Photographer.
Chr. Wiger. telegraph inspector in
Norway, celebrated his golden jubilee
as telegrapher recently. He was the
first operator in Norway and has a
great many amusing incidents which
he recalls to his friends. Once he
was visited by three Storthings men
who wanted to know all about tele-
graphing. Wiger explained the, pro
cess of telegraphing and the theory of
electric power at which the three men
became highly offended. To let him
self out he then stated that he was
obliged to say something to all the
people who came there but as mat
ter of fact the instrument worked en-
tirely different. Raising the key he
showed small chamber in the appar-
atus. Here he explained the telegram
was placed and by pressing on the
buttons it was sent along the tele-
graph line.

of the crew had no difficulty whatever in
reaching the other vessel.

Miss Clara Norton, Well Known
Writer, Becomes Bride OF Frank
Finley, Chicago Dentist.
MARRIAGE DEVOID OF CEREMONY
Marriage of the Well Known Writer Causes
Great Stir In the Literary World
In Chicago.

A return of a marriage license has
been made to the Register of Deeds,
the announcement of which will cause
a great stir. in the literary world OF
Chicago and the surrounding cities.
The contracting parties at the we'd
ding, which occurred in Kenosha a
few days ago, were DR.. Frank Finley,
a we'll known Chicago dentist, and
Miss Clara Norton, the we'll known
Chicago literary woman.
On account of the fame Miss Norton
has gained as writer of short stories,
her little wedding in Kenosha will at
tract wide attention to the city.
The marriage was one of the
simplest little ceremonies ever held
in Kenosha. Miss Norton and her
fiancee came to the city on a morning
train and the two went to the office of
the county judge where court order
for the ceremony was issued. They
then went to the parsonage of one of
the city churches and were quietly
married. There was nothing of show
connected with the affair. Miss
Norton was attired in a black skirt
and a white shirt waist and to the
minister she gave no notice of the
fact that she was a woman of the
literary world.
DR.. and Mrs. Finley left Kenosha,
and after short stop in Chicago they
went West to spend their honeymoon.
The announcement of the wedding
will not be made in Chicago until
after the first of August as Miss Nor
ton is anxious to have her latest book,
which is now in press, issued before
the announcement Of the wedding is
made.
Miss Norton is daughter of Alex
ander Norton, of Chicago. She was
graduated from the Chicago Uni
versity short time ago and since her
graduation she has gained her spurs
as a literary woman. Her first short
stories which appeared in the Chicago
papers, attracted wide attention and
she has already issued two volumes of
stories.
During the past few months her
works have appeared in many of the
leading magazines and it is said that
she has received a large annual salary
for her work.
Miss Norton has been the idol of the
newspaper fraternity in Chicago since
she began her career as a writer and
among the newspaper men her little
romantic marriage in Kenosha will
be nine days wonder.

FISHERMEN CAUGHT
Deputy Game Warden Reinardy, OF
Kenosha, Wins His Spurs by a
Noteworthy Capture in MidIake.
10000 FEET OF NETS CONFISCATED

Deputy Game Warden Charles B.
Reinardy, of this city, has won his
spurs as protector of the fish of this
state and he is in Judge Nelson's
court in Milwaukee today, prosecut-
ing band of three fishermen whom
he arrested in the lake off Milwaukee
on Monday.
For some time it has been claimed
that this band of Italians had been
violating the game laws, but they
had been too crafty for the officers at
Milwaukee and Deputy Reinardy was
called in to assist with the case. Sew
eral days were spent in watching the
men but Monday morning Deputy
Reinardy decided that he had evil
dence enough and he sent for Deputy
Warden Buckley and the two secured
a boat and started after the fishing
smack containing the alleged law
breakers.
It was a race from the first but the
fishing boat was handicapped by the
fact that it carried a large cargo of
fish and tackle. After a chase Of a
mile the fishermen gave up and
Deputy Reinardy took possession OF
the entire outfit. Besides the boat,
he confscated 1900 feet of nets and
quite quantity of fish.
The men arrested were Joseph
Crisci; Grantana Barstreri, and Vim
cent Ve1ti. They we're arraigned
before Judge Nielsen today and the
property seized will be sold at public
auction tomorrow.
The confscated property is regard
ed as valuable and it is said that the
seizure is one of the largest eve
made by deputy warden in the state.
It is the biggest catch ever made by a
game warden from this county.

THE refusal of the Governor tc
abide by the decision of the highest
authority in the Republican party,
the national convention, will surprise
no one who is at all familiar with the
situation In the state. His followers
have made no secret of their intention
to turn the state over to the Demo
Gratis in case the Governor failed to
secure the nomination and some OF
them have been foolish enough to be-
1ieve that their threats of the loss OF
the states votes to the national ticket
would influence the national commit.
tee and the convention. They know
better now but there can be no doubt
that the Governor is preparing tc
make war upon the party which has
honored him above his just deserts
and that if it is within his power he
will defeat the party ticket in this
state.

THERE can be no question but that
the low rates granted by the steam
ship companies are making it possible
for the most undesirable class of i'm
migrants to come to America. The
off-scourings of Europe are focklng
in by the thousands, and the great
numbers detained at New York by the
inspection officers show only too con-
c1usive1y that great majority OF
them are in fair way to become bur
dens upon society in this country a
change in the immigration laws is
needed to check this great influx of
undesirab1es, and the country will pay
long price in the future for every
days delay in making it.

Board OF Education Selects New Corps
OF Teachers for the Schools
for Next Year.
MISS CALlxTA ENGLISH CHOSEN
Miss Henrietta Pagelsan of Grand Haven
Michigan, to Succeed Miss Kummel
as Teacher of German.

MANY changes were mduC III the
teaching force of the ] Kenosha
schools Tuesday night when the
teachers committee presented it's
recommendations to the members of
the Board of Education. The report
recommended the employment of all
the present grade teachers at salaries
set by the salary schedule. Two new
grade teachers, Miss Debora Richter
of Pleasant Prairie, and Miss Hermena
Hoehn of this city were employed.
In employing teachers to have
charge of the work in the High school
for the next year the committee found
that it would be necessary to make
many changes, and in the list of prin-
cipa1s for ward schools also.
w. J. Hooking was employed as AS
sistant Principal of the High school
with a salary of 5000 a year. Miss
Ca1ixta English, daughter of E. j.
English of this city, was selected as
teacher of tLatin and Greek, at a sal
airy of $3.50. Miss English is a grad
uate of the Kenosha High school, and
she prepared herself for the stask of
teaching while at the University of
Wisconsin. She has taught Latin
and Greek with success in the schools
of Stoughton. Miss English is re-
garded as a most capable teacher,
and will be worthy successor to Miss
Bronson.
Miss Henrietta Page1sen of Grand
Haven, Mich, was elected to teach
German in the High school at a salary
of 500 a year. Miss Page1sen is a
graduate of the University of Michi-
gan, and has spent several years in
Germany preparing for her work.
Miss S. Edith Brown and Miss Nancy
JENSEN were reelected to their pres
ent positions.
No selection has as yet been made
for the teachers of English in the
High School, but this matter will be
taken up at the next meeting of the
board. The only discussion in re-
gard to the unemployment of the
teachers came up over the continu-
ance of the study of music in the
schools. John T. Yu1e seemed to be
opposed to the teaching of music, but
he was in a hopeless minority and
when the matter was put to vote the
board decided by vote of s tot3to
continue this work.
Miss Sara Sabe1witz was reelected
as supervising principal of music at a
salary OF 500. The members of the
board showed their appreciation Of
the work which had been done by
Miss Sabe1witz by granting her an
increase of $50 in salary.
Almost an entire new set of grade
school principals was selected by the
board. The list follows:
Charles B. Woodstock, of White
water, at a salary of 500; S.. w.
Murphy, of the Oshkosh Normal, at
salary of 500; Morri1 Gilman,
graduate of the Milwaukee Normal, at
salary of $500; E. E. Better was re-
elected at a salary of $500, and Miss
Nellie Adamson was retained at
salary of $475. sdJ
The only other business of import
ance was the election of Andrew
Becker as engineer and janitor of the
Durkee building. He will receive
salary of $50 month.

THE next time the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association of Mil
waukee starts out on business"
excursion it would do we'll to include
Kenosha in it's travels. The object of
the association in taking these excur-
sions is to call attention to the supe-
rior advantages of Milwaukee as a
trading center and to urge the mer-
chants and business men of the state
to patronize Milwaukee industries.
Kenosha is sadly in need Of just such
missionary 1abors. The amount of
trade which goes to Chicago from
Kenosha in the course of a year, and
which, if it has got to go out of Ke-
nosha at all, should be used to build
up the metropolis of our own state, is
something amazing.
The Milwaukee merchants have
never made an effort,to secure their
share of the Kenosha trade, and their
neglect of this most promising field is
costing them and the state thousands
annually. 1t is no part of our bust
ness to work up business for outside
cities, but as long as Kenosha people
persist in going out of Kenosha to give
away trade which properly belongs to
our own merchants, we believe that
Milwaukee should have fair share of
it. AS far as this trade goes, Kenosha
is now to all intents and purposes a
Chicago suburb, and the Milwaukee
merchants have nobody to blame for
it but themselves.
