IN SUPERB CONDITION
FOR RAUCH CONTEST
Attell Writes that He Is Down to
III Pounds and Expects to
Win Easily.
RAUCH IS CONFIDENT

II viii leave Chicago at 2:45 Monday
morning and arrive IN Indianapolis at I'D
I am in superb condition, and now weigh
121 pounds. I am in better shape to meet
Morris Rauch Monday night than when l
met Harry Forbes. on Jan. 4. and l expect
10 gain the decision over Rauch. I have
been training very hard, as 1 meet Forbes
in ST. Louis next Thursday evening, and
have 10 weigh in al 10, ring side
The above is the substance Of a letter
received by the sporting editor of the Jour
nal yesterday from Abe Attell, the san
Francisco boxer. The letter was read to
Morris Rauch, who has been in Indianapo-
lis since last Friday. and Rauch said he
would give Attell the hardest argument he
has ever had. Rauch is also in good shape.
and viii give a good account Of himself
against the man who claims the 122-pound
championship. The first preliminary viii
be called promptly at $50. and the main
bout will be called about 9:45.
Attell will go from here to st. Louis,
where he is matched to fight Harry Forbes
to settle the ten-round draw they boxed in
Indianapolis a short time ago. The st.
Louis Dispatch yesterday said about the
Attell-Forbes match:
"Once more Abe Attell and Harry Forbes
are announced 10 fight twenty rounds at
the West End Club. The occasion will be
the opening OF the West End Clubs new
Oliseun-provided the affair is not again
tnterfered with.
Fate has so often handed the hot end Of
the fight proposition TO the West End Club
that il is no even-mOney bet that It will
not happen again.
:If the bout IS permitted to take place
St. Louis viii see the most scientific affair
that was ever held IN any arena.
THE bout at Indianapolis, where the men
fought ten rounds Jan. 4, guarantees this.
Both men were lightning fast then, both
clever TO almost a miracle, and the wonder
full blocking, lodging, leading and counter
Ing that took place In those ten rounds has
probably never been equaled, even in a
Jim Corbett exhibition.
There are no two ways about it-Attell
IS the most wonderful man with his gloves,
feet and head Of any fighter IN the ring OF
any weight
Persons say he is not a fighter. which
may be granted IL IL is meant man who
has no other purpose than to beat in the
seat OF intelligence OF his opponent"

Daring Sneak Thieves Enter the Park
Street Hotel and Get Away With
Booty to the Extent of SEQ.
ROB WHILE PROPRIETOR SLEEPS.
Charles Dietrich. the Owner of the Hotel
Had Left the Bar Room and Had
Fallen Asleep In the Parlor.

A daring daylight robbery was COM
mitted in Kenosha between five and
six O'Clock, Wednesday evening when
unknown sneak thieves entered the
bar room and office of the Park Street
hotel and managed to tap the till for
more than sixty dollars. Jas. Demp-
sey, John Gleason and John, Morgan
are in jail on suspicion that they
know something in regard to the
crime. All declare their innocence.
At the time the robbery occurred the
bar room was in charge of Charles
Dietrich, the proprietor of the hotel.
Business had been little slack for
half an hour and Mr.. Dietrich walked
from the bar room into the spar1or
which adjoins it and sat down in a
rocking chair. In a moment he fell
asleep and when he awoke again he
went into the bar room only to dis
cover that the cash register had been
opened and all the money taken. The
burglars did not stop with the cash
register, but forced open cash drawer
and took the contents of the money
bag. The fellow evidently had lit
tie of the milk of human kindness
left in him as he consented to leave
three silver dollars in the bag.
Dietrich reported the robbery to the
officials at once and search for the
guilty parties was started. Jas.
Dempsey was arrested out at the
"FourCorners" last night and brought
into jail. Officer Euting picked up
Morgan on the street last night and it
is claimed that he displayed quite a
sum of money. Morgan had been a
boarder at the house and it is claimed
that he was without funds. John
Gleason was the porter at the hotel
and he was arrested at the hotel this
morning when he came to work.
The men at the jail stout1y main
tain that they were in no way con-
nected with the burglary at the hotel
and claim that they will be able to
establish an a1ibi. The police will
bring the men down for hearing this
afternoon and in the meantime their
regulations are being Investigated.

Bellevue Company Which Demonstrate
ed Beauties OF Kenosha Street
Lights is Turned Down.
CITY TO TRY MUNICIPAL LIGHTS.

The electric lighting system of
Kenosha was given bad black eye
on Thursday evening when the City
Council of Bellevue, Ohio, to whom
the Kenosha system had been held up
as model one, refused to give the
company owning a similar system a
franchise for another term of years
and voted by unanimous vote to sub
NIT to the people the proposition of
owning and operating system.
Three weeks ago the company which
had been seeking the franchise in
Bellevue brought the entire city
council of the little Ohio city to Keno
sha to show off the system of lights in
this city. In honor of the visitors the
company started the lights burning
and it is just possible that the lights
burned little better than usual. The
trip to Kenosha, however, lost the
contract for the company as the aid
ermen found that the sentiment in
this city was decidedly in favor of the
municipal ownership of the street
lighting plant and the Bellevue alder
men decided that if Kenosha with a
model plant wanted municipal owner
ship it was time for Bellevue to give
up any plan to make contract for a
similar system of lights.
The council decided to submit the
matter to the people of the municipal
ity and special election has been
called for the first of August at which
time the people will vote for and
against a bond issue of 100000 to
provide money for the installation of
the municipal plant.
Kenosha will not be far behind
Bellevue as the mayors and members
of the council are already talking of
plans to secure city lighting plant
as soon as the contract of the COM
pany is out. The Kenosha company
will undoubtedly make hard fight to
secure renewal of the contract.

IT'S A BAD YEAR.
The Vessel Owners Are Not Pleased
With Trade They Have Had
This Season.
COAL is THE ONLY FREIGHT.

Had the strike of the masters and
pilots which tied up lake navigation
for nearly two months lasted another
thirtySdays, it is doubtful whether it
would have mattered much so far as
the activesbusiness of the great lakes
is concerned. Since the settlement of
the strike sthere has continued an al
most general stagnation, and while
many boats have been kept out of
commission, it has even been found
necessary to again withdraw some of
those which, on the settlement of the
strike, were hurried into commission.
The Marine Review says: core has
beens. moving quite freely from the
mines to thegdocks, but not in suffici-
ent quantity to supply all vessels and
cargoesE have been relatively scarce.
Two leading shippers have contracted
for ore on the basis of seventy cents
from the head of the lakes, sixty-fve
cents sfrom Marquette, and fifty-fve
cents from Escanaba, though the lead
ing vesselmen are reluctant to accept
these figures, and it is not known with
whom the contracts have been made.
Rather than accept seventy cents yes
se1men fare inclined to operate their
vessels wild, believing that better
rates will be obtained later on.n They
would all be quite willing to close for
the 'sseason at eighty cents, and one
F1eadings shipper has announced his
willingness, provided he is supported,
to establish the rate at seventy-five
cents from the head of the lakes,
seventy cents from Marquette, and
sixty-fve cents from Escanaba. The
United States Steel corporation has
made no effort to charter any tonnage
as yet, and this has contributed
greatly to the uncertainty of the situa-
ton. The grain movement is abso-
1utelyadead and is cutting no figure
whatever. Reliable authorities esti-
mate that the coal movement will be
fifteens per cent less than it was last
year, hut this is counter balanced by
twenty-eight per cent reduction in the
length of the activeR season of opera
ton. OThe wild rates on coal during
the week fell to the contract basis,
which is thirty-fve cents to the head
of the lakes and forty-fve cents to
Lake Michigan, a reduction of five
cents over last years charges. All
in all, it looks like quite lean year
for the vessel owners

THE history of the cotton moth, the
pest that is slowly killing off humid
reds of our finest shade trees, is in
teresting as showing the risks which
sometimes accompany scientific in
vestigations and the tremendous con-
sequences which may follow an ap-
parent1y trivial accident. The cotton
moth is not native production. The
pest was imported, and it's presence
here is due entirely to an accident.
In 1869, Prof. Tronvrest Of Medford,
Mass, brought some specimens of the
moth to America for experimental
purposes, brt they escaped by acct
dent. He notified the authorities of
the danger of their rapid increase and
the probable consequences, but moth
ing was done to check the spread of
the pest until twenty years later, after
whole forests had been killed by the
insects. Now the pest is so wide
spread that we will never be able to
rid the country of it. The only way
to kill the insects is by spraying the
trees with some insecticide in the
spring before the trees leave ort, and
long before the cotton nests appear.
1t is the most difficult of all the preda-
tory insects to kill out, and it will
take infinite trouble and a vast
amount of money to even hold it in
check. The damage done by the pest
already runs into the tens of millions,
and before the scientists of the de-
partment of agriculture find some
thing to destroy the moths that little
accident in Massachusetts will have
cost the country more than war.

CROP BULLETIN.
Nights Too Cool For the Rapid Growth of

Nights Too Cool For the Rapid Growth of
Corn.
The weather conditions during the
week were generally favorable, al
though the nights were rather too
cool for rapid growth Of corn, and the
general and frequent showers inter.
fered with the curing of hay. Al
though there were no sudden or de-
cided changes, temperatures were
unseasonably low. The week closed
with warmer weather, and, with an
abundance of moisture in the soil and
favorable temperature conditions, the
outlook is satisfactory.
The rainfall has been generally
ample throughout the state, showers
being frequent during the early part
of the week, and on Sunday night
fairly heavy. The drought is effect
lively broken in ali sections, and a few
places report an excess of moisture,
but taking the state as whole, the
general conditions are conducive to
the rapid advancement of all crops.

KENOSHA has a number of first class
sites for the naval training station
and if the fight to secure the location
of the station in this city is taken up
in earnest and pushed to a finish we
may win out after all. It is said that
no congressman has any special inhu-
ence with the new commission and
that the selection of a site will be
made this time solely with regard to
the merits of the sites offered and
without prejudice. 1t is true that the
same thing was said of the first COM
mission and it is also true that the
naval officers who composed it were
about as easy for Congressman
Foss, the chairman of the House COM
mittee on naval affairs, as any COM
mission that the genial congressman
has had to deal with since he went to
Congress, but an effort has been made
to make up the new commission SO
that it's members will be free from
any outside influences ard it may be
worth while for Kenosha to try again.

Manager J. Rhode Takes Steps to
Make Rhode Opera House Safest
Theatre in the World.
NEW ALARM SYSTEM BEING ADDED.
Special Water Mains Being Extended to the
Stage for the Protection of the People
Playing In the Theatre.

Manager Joseph G. Rhode is plan
ming extensive improvements for the
Rhode Opera House during the com
ing summer, and when the theatre is
reopened for the season of 1904 and
1905, he hopes to be able to offer to
the people of Kenosha, the safest
theatre in the world. Manager Rhode
has been pioneer in the matter of
safe guarding theaters and he erected
the first steel curtain to be used in a
theatre in Wisconsin. Now he has a
new plan which is equally novel. 1t
is the erection of a system of alarms
IN all parts of the theatre, which will
make it possible for an alarm of fire
to be sent to all parts of the house
without arousing the audience.
The system consists of a dozen buz-
zers placed in different parts of the
house and they can be worked by
central key either behind the scenes
or in the front of the house. The
ushers and ticket takers as we'll as
every one of the workmen behind the
scenes can be warned at once of any
danger in the theatre, and with this
warning and the splendid system of
exits, it will be possible to clear the
house in record breaking time. One
of the main buzzers will connect with
the flies and the fly gallery where
man is constantly stationed to care
for the steel curtain and with the
simple touch of this button the pro-
tecting curtain will be rung down.
Another buzzer will be on the table
of the man who manipu1ates the
lights in the theatre and with this he
can tell what to do about lighting the
house at a moments warning. The
other buzzers are at the entrances
and exits and in the galleries. Each
man will be expected to be at his
place and the moment the alarm is
sounded he can begin the work of
clearing the theatre.
Manager Rhode has not looked after
the safety of the auditors alone, but
in order to furnish better protection
for the people behind the curtain he
Ids Hdu SpSC1dI TWO 1nCn water
main extended to the stage and hose
will connect with this and convey
water for fire protection both to the
stage and to the dressing rooms on
the lower floor. These water pipes
will be ready to use at any time.
The theatre will get its usual fresh
coat of paint during the summer, and
Louis Kindt the we'll known scenic
artist, is now at work painting a new
advertising curtain. The curtain
will have for center piece a sp1en-
did presentation of the cascades at
the ST. Louis Exposition, and it will
be the most beautiful curtain ever
hung in a theatre in Kenosha.
