office rent, every month. Why not
induce the commissi oners to rent an
office down town for the county re-
corder? It would save INC necessity
of phone hire.
There are two different parties try
ing to do an abstract business in
Weiser. For the year 1903, through
your advice and connivance, one
party was assessed at $3.50 valuation,
the value of their blank books, and
no account taken of their manuscript
work at all. The other party was as
sessed at $1,000 upon their manuscript
work. To uphold this by a series OF
legal gymnastics you caused the
county to pay for the printing of two
briefs and transcripts, the court costs

the PROSECUTING ATTORNEY,

you are a BRILLIANT RHEA.

General Stossel wired the emper-
or and court recently, Il now bid you
all goodbye for ever. Port Arthur is
my grave.
General Stossell has imbued the
garrison in the beleagured fortress
with the spirit that to court glori-
GUS death is preferable to capitula-
tion. Japanese shells are infiicting
great damage on the Russian feet and
the fertilization and the arsenal with
its contents of ammunition and small
arms has been destroyed. Prepare
tions are being made for the last
deadly struggle in close quarters
The water supply is cut off and wells
are being sunk. Only timed meats
are left and the soldiers hold gala
feasts on the horses killed by shells.
Field and naval hospitals are crowd
ed and hygenic conditions are becom-
ing desperate. The bombardent at
times is so incessant that it is impos-
sible to bury the dead to any depth.
Over half the original garrison Is
dead, wounded or sick. The new
town has been practically destoyed by
the high angle fire and the beseigers
are pressing closer every day. II Is
hard TO say how long we can hold

AFTER MANY YEARS
John B. Hutchinson of Pleasant Prairie
Gets Pension after Waiting
Fifteen Years.
RoBBeD OF HIS PRIZE MONEY.

John B. Hutchinson, one of the best
ant Prairie, is holding a little ce1e-
bration today on account of the fact
that the government has granted him
a pension of eight dollars a month.
The amount of the pension, perhaps,
is not enough to celebrate over, but
Hutchinson has been waging his fight
for his government right for the past
fifteen years. He is now sixty-eight
years of age and during the Civil
| War he served as coal HEAVIER on
the United States steamship Mem
ph1s. Long after the war was over
he became incapacitated for hard
labor, and going to a pension attor-
ney fifteen years ago he made app1i-
cation for the pension which he con-
sidered due to him.
The attorney took up the case and
while he did not get a pension for the
old man, he secured prize money to
the amount of $500 which was due to
the Pleasant prairie man. Hutchin-
son never got the prize money as the
attorney who had been in charge of
his claim pocketed it as his fee for
services rendered. The old man was
so disappointed that he gave up his
fight for a time.
Last August, Clerk of the Circuit
Court ]. B. Ma1oney took up the fight
to secure pension for the old man
and this morning he received notice
that the demand for a pension had
been granted by the government Off
Gals and Hutchinson will secure the
sum of eight dollars month together
with back pay.from last August.
It is claimed that many of the vet
Grams in Kenosha county have claims
similar to those of Hutchinson and an
effort will be made to have the gov
eminent properly recognize the claims
of these men.

MANY GOING ABROAD.
Foreigners in kenosha Taking Advan-
taqe OF Rate War to Visit Homes
in England and Scandinavia.
RARE OPPORTUNITY OFFERED.

Many Kenosha people are planning
to go abroad during the next few
months and the rate war that is on
between the Cunard Line and the
Steamship Trust is offering them an
exceptional opportunity to visit Eng
land or to run over for a short stay in
their old homes in Sweden, Norway or
Denmark. 6. The war is on in earnest
and the Kenosha people will not be
slow to take advantage of the rates
offered. It is now possible to go from
Kenosha to England or any of the
Scandinavian countries for rate a
little more than it USUALLY costs to
spend a few days in New York. Henry
B. Robinson of the Merchants and
Savings Bank, who acts as the agent
for the Steamship companies in Keno
sha, stated in an interview this morn
greater than ever before. 1T is a
golden opportunity, said Mr.. Robin
son for any one to go to England,
Scandinavia or the Mediterranean
countries. The rates as they have
been cut are far below the standard
rate. Take for instance the round
trip to Liverpool from Kenosha is only
$3.50 while the round trip from Keno
| sha to the scandinavian countries is
touching the low figure of $7O.O5.
These rates provide for first trip on
what we call third class accommoda-
tons and it is cheaper than have
ever known before. I am selling
tickets over all the lines at the same
rates. The opportunity for trip
abroad is appealing to the people of
Kenosha and it is certain that from
forty to fifty Kenosha people will take
advantage of the low rates and spend
the summer on the other side.

Ivan Houghton, Dear Friend OF Pleas
ant Prairie Teacher Takes His
Life in ST. Louis Hotel.
MAN SAID TO BE OEsPoN0ENT.
Miss Florence Reed Notified of the Suicide
of Her Alleged Fiancee In Hotel
at st. Louis Yesterday

The romance Of Miss Florence Reed
q we'll known teacher in the village
Of Pleasant Prairie, ended in a trag
edy on Thursday, when Ivan Hough-
ton, Of Whitehall, Montana, took his
own life in a hotel at ST. Louis. Let
tiers which he had left on his person,
connected Miss Reed with the case
and last night she received a telegram
telling of the sad death of her friend
and lover.
Houghton resided at Whitehall,
Mont, the home of the parents of
Miss Reid, and it is evident that the
two had been friends for some time.
1t seems that some disagreement had
come between them on account of
friendship which had existed between
Houghton and a young woman resid-
ing in Virginia. Houghton came
from his far western home a short
time ago, and at the urgent request
of Miss Reed expressed in letter, he
had gone to Virginia to visit the
young woman residing there. Onihis
return from Virginia he went to a
room at the hotel and on the follow
ing morning his 1ife1ess body was
found. Asphyxiation was the YER
dict Of the coroner's jury.
Miss Reed could not be seen at her
home in Pleasant Prairie today, as it
was stated that she had taken her
school children and had gone for a
picnic. Friends of Miss Reed stated
however, that she had held the high
est regard for Houghton and that she
was heart broken over his rash death.
A letter from Miss Reed was found
in one of the pockets of the suicides
clothing, and it has been given to the
public press as follows:
pheasant Prairie, Wis, June H.
Dear Ivan: I am glad to know that
you can attend the fair. have been
thinking of going, but I still have two
weeks of school and don't know as
shall have time after that. And now
to the all important question, would
say in reply that am willing to wait
until such time as you think suit
able. But, Ivan, you had better think
twice before you give up the Virginia
lady. When spoke Of love being
greater than money, I don't mean to
infer that the southern lady didn't
love you, but you spoke as though her
money were the main object to be con-
sidered. There seems to be pretty
good understanding between her and
you, and it would be nice to be able
to unite your fortunes and not have to
wait SO long. | hope you may meet
the Virginia lady before you decide.
You spoke of the duties of a ranch
mans wife. Will you kindly inform
me what they are? Aren't you COM
ing to see me? You will be near
and | should be glad to see you.
Hoping to hear from you soon, am
yours affectionate1y. FLORENCE.
