ROSE BADLY INJURED
Arthur Rose is Thrown by a Rope
and Suffers From Concus-
sion of the Brain.
UNCONSCIOUS MANY HOURS.

Arthur Rose, aged is years, the son
quite seriously injured last evening
and he is now at the Kenosha hospital
suffering from a bad case of concus-
sion of the brain.
Rose and party of companions had
been playing along Durkee avenue
and during the evening they took occa-
sion to run across one of the lots in
the neighborhood. The crowd ran
pe11 neil across the lot and Rose ran
directly into a c1othes1ine. He was
thrown to the ground with great
force. and one of his companions who
was close on his heels kicked him in
the head.
At first it was thought that the boys
skull had been fractured. DR.. w. r.
Cheever was hurried1y called to the
Rose home and ordered the injured
boy removed at once to the Kenosha
hospital.
After Rose was taken to the hospit-
al an examination was made which
showed that the skull had not been
fractured but that Rose was suffering
from bad attack of conclusion OF
the brain. The injured boy remained
unconscious for more than five hours
and for time the physicians in at
tendance feared that it would be i'm.
possible to save his life. Early this
morning the boy regained conscious
ness. His condition is still regarded
as very critical and DR.. Cheever fears
that the boy has suffered some inter.
nal injury in the brain.
Rose is we'll known among the
young people in that section of the
city and the serious injury to him
caused quite little excitment in the
neighborhood.

TO ENTER THE RACE.
Conrad Shearer Will Seek Ap.
pointment Of County Superin.
tendent of Schools.
A VERY LOGICAL CANDIDATE.

Conrad Shearer of the town of Som
ers, at present employed as substi-
tute clerk in the Kenosha post office,
has announced that he will be a can
didate for the appointment to the po-
sition of county superintendent of
schools. Mr.. Shearer has not as yet
urged his candidacy on the state su-
perintendent but will announce his
candidacy to the state official as soon
as it is formally announced that the
resignation of Mr.. Taylor has been
received. It is understood that Mr..
Taylor is strongly in favor of the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Shearer as his sue
cessor.
Mr.. Shearer has ali but completed
his work at the State Normal school
at Milwaukee and it is not thought
that he would be required to pass an
ment. He is logical candidate for
the position in. the county and the
endorsement of his candidacy will be
secured from all parts of the county.
Mr.. Shearer was born and raised IN
the town of Somers, and he has taken
an important place in the educational
affairs of the county for several
years. He was educated in the
county schools, in the city schools, at
the College of Commerce, the State
Normal at Milwaukee, and has done
so me work in the University of Wis
consin. He has taught in the dis
trict schools of the county and of the
city, and has shown himself very
capable man. He is perhaps better
acquainted with the school affairs of
the county than any other man with
the possible exception of the retiring
superintendent.
Taking greatinterest in education
al affairs the school work of the diff
ferent towns in the county has been
close to the heart of Mr.. Shearer,
and he can take up the work of Mr..
Tap1or without making any change
in policy.
In politics Mr.. Shearer is Repub-
1ican. There are but few men in the
county who have the qualifications re-
quired for the appointment and
among these Mr.. Shearer is the ac-
know1edged leader.

Oscar Beattie Of Decatur, ILL.,,
Comes to Kenosha in Search
for UnfaithfuI Spouse.
WIFE AND PARAM0UR FLEE
Manage to Catch a Train for the West
and the Husband is Distanced but
Hopes to Catch the E1opers.

Oscar w. Beattie, claiming Deca-
tur, ILL.,, as his home, came near MAX
ing a sensation at the Northwestern
station in this city last night when he
came to seek his wife, Mamie Mildred
Beattie, who he alleges has e1oped
with negro, by the name of SThomas
Jackson, who also resided at Decatur.
Beattie reached the city on the s
O'Clock train and discovered to his
great chagrin that the wife and her
negro paramount had passed through
the city an hour earlier and had
caught the milk train running to Har-
ward, Ill. The husband sent kilograms
to the West in hopes of intercepting
the pair but they had left the train at
way station and up to this after
noon no word had been received in
this city to the effect that the clippers
had been located. Beat q e returned
to Chicago last night and will make
an effort to get to Harvard in time to
prevent the negro and the woman get
ting away.
are we'll known in Decatur and in
Wausau, Wis, where they formerly
resided. Jackson, on whom Mrs. Beat
tie, according to the story of the hus-
band, has been 1avishing her afec-
tons, is negro but his color is de-
ceptive and he might be taken for a
white man. For some time Beattie
claims that his wife had been meet
ing the negro, who was employed as
stab1eman by neighbor and on last
Monday evening the two of them left
Decatur and took Burlington train
to Chicago. Beattie was out of the
city at the, time but as soon as he dis
covered that the wife had fled with
the negro he took up the trail. He
traced them through Chicago and saw
the negro just as he was getting on a
train running toward the north. Beat
tie took the next train out of the sta
ton but reached here too late to inter
cept them.
The husband believes that the ne
gro has relatives in this county and
that these relatives are hiding the
mar and woman. Mrs. Beattie has
two small children, which were left
behind when she left Decatur with
her negro lover. The husband claims
that he will ask for warrant for the
arrest of the two on charges of adul-
terV

Parrot Encores Grace.

On one occasion when Squire Hilton

grace when a voice behind him OBJ

Astonished, the clergyman looked

MAY NAME COOPER.
Administration Leaders Conside
First District Congressman
For The Senate.
HIS POSITION UNQUESTIoNED.

It is reported in Racine that Con-
gresham Fl. A. Cooper has been de-
cided upon as the administration can
didate for United States Senator, in
case the administrator forces secure
working majority in the next 1egis-
lature.
Past actions on the part of the
leaders point in that direction. Be-
fore Mr.. Cooper joined the La Fol
letteites, c. c. Cuttings, considered
the administration lieutenant in south
ern Wisconsin, gave out an interview
in the local press that he favored Mr..
Cooper for the Senate. After that in
terview it was noticed that private
conferences were frequent between
Mr.. Cuttings and Mr.. Cooper, and
then came Mr.. Cooper's surrender at
the La Toilette meeting in Bur1ing-
ton.
In the Second assembly district con-
vention of Racine county John Thorn
as, the nominee, was brought out
by c. C. Cuttings and his intimate
friends. It is now known that Mr..
Thomas is for Cooper in case he is
elected, and that the man who secures
the nomination on Friday in the First
assembly district convention will be
a Cooper man for senator, in case the
La Toilette followers win.
The Kenosha county followers Of
Governor La Toilette are very pro-
nounced in their support of the can
didacy Of Congressman Cooper.

Hu1lor ana Philosophy
By DUNCAN M. SMITH
1904, by Duncan M. Smith.
HIS SAD FALL.

In the spring the throbbing poet
Grabs a pen,
Tickled muchly that the seasons
Round again.
With bold, artistic flourish
Writes a line,
While his eye rolls in a frenzy
Rather fine
In the spring the spirit moves him,
And he sings,
For the poet has a way Of
Seeing things
That the duller man, proSaic,
Cannot see,
For he views things as a fellow
Up a tree.
With fervor that no common
Dub can feel
He filings off his lines and stanzas
By the reel,
And the people, as they rudely
Rubberneck,
Say another rare Bill Shakespeare
Is on deck.
In the spring the gushing poet
Hears a call;
But, alas, where do we find him
In the fall?
With his soul once full of ragtine
Bruised and torn
He is way out in the country
Husking corn.

The Educated Mule.

An ancient farmer had a mule.
Though it had never been to school
Or studied books, still knew sight,
Although it couldn't read or write,
For it could, even in the dark,
Whenever called on, make it's mark.

Look Ahead.

There is glory for the time to come. A
great many people seem to forget that the
best is before US. DR.. Bonar once said
that everything before the true. believer 1s
GLORIOUS" This thought took hold on
my soul. and I began to look the matter
up and see what 1 could find in Scripture
that was glorious hereafter.
I found that the kingdom We are going
to inherit is glorious; our crown ?s to be
crown of glory" the city we are going to
inhabit is the city OF the glorihed; the
songs we are going to sing are the songs OF
the glori6ed; we are to wear garments OF
glory and beauty our society will be
the society Ct the glorihed; our rest Is to
be 'gIorious;" the country to which we
are going is to he iull OF the glory Of God
and of the Lamb.
There are many who are always looking
on the backward path and mourning over
the troubles through which they have
passed; they keep lugging the cares and
anxieties they have been called on to bear
and are forever looking at them. Why
should we 60 reeling and staggering under
the burdens and cares of life when we have
such glorious prospects before us:-D. L..

The Oppoeer of Christ.

An unloving spirit is the worst treachery
TO Christ that we can offer. How often DO
those who are full Of good works for the
Lord stop to think of this? The harsh
word spoken by the busy teacher or super.
intendent or pastor is a travesty on the
profession such one makes. For Christ
IS one with God, and God is love. Unlore
is anti-Chr;st. We cannot serve Christ
while unlove for any child of His is in our
hearts or words. And if l have the, gift
of prophecy, and know all mysteries and
as to remove mountains. but have not love.
i am nothing. And if I bestow al my
goods to feed the poor, and if l give my
body to be burned. but have not love. It
profiteth me nothing This is My eom'
nandmene, that ye love one another"

PLACES TO AVOID.
Here Are a Few Regions In Which
Life le Not a Joy.

Here Are Few Regions In Which
Life ls Not Joy.
AS places of residence neither the
Bahrien Islands, in the Persian Gulf,
nor the City of Yaktusk, Siberia, have
much to offer in the way of climate,
says the Washington Post.
In Bahrien you cook and in Yaktusk
you freeze. Bahrien is said to be the
hottest place in the world. The ther-
mometer often registers between 10
and 120 degrees, night and day, for
months at a tins, This rather beats
Fort Yuma, AriZ., which is consider
ed the hottest place in the United
States.
Yaktusk is called the coolest city
in the world, Vekhoyansk, in north
eastern Siberia, claims to be the cold.
est inha bited place on the globe, the
thermometer registering 80 degrees
below zero in January.
Tt also claims to be the place pos
sessing the most variable climate. for
while it is 80 degrees below in jan
uary, lit is sc above in the shade in
August, during the day, with drop
down to freezing every midsummer
night.
The wettest place in the world is
Greytown, Nicaragua, where the am
nual rainfall is 260 inches.
The driest place in the word is
probably the rainless coast Of north.
ern Chile. They have a shower there
about once in every ten years. Moth.
ing grows on this desolate strip OF
barren coast, and the dreary towns
from which the nitrates and the min:
erals mined in that region are shipped
depend for their subsistence upon food
brought to them in the ships from the
fertile strips to the north and south
cf the desert.
Northern Russia and the shores OF
the French Congo, are said to be the
cloudiest places in the world and fG
fog there is no region like the Grand
Banks, the southern coast OF New
foundland, and the waters OF N0via
Scotia.
This region is one pf fog for large
pant of the year, and the very home
of the fog is the Island Of Grand Ma
nan, at the entrance OF the Bay OF
Fundy, where, the salons declare, the
natives manufacture fog. When a
bank of specially thick fog is seen ap
preaching over the waters, the mar.
iners turn to each other and say "The
Grand Mananers are at work"
