A Sign of Prosperity.

There is no better criterion OF general
prosperity than the postal business.
When times are good the postal revenue
increases, aud vice versa. The report of
the Postmaster General shows that for
the year ending July l, 1895, the receipts
from postal revenue were S76,lTl,OOO
For the year ending July |, 1902. they
were Sll9,95S,229, an increase OF 81 per
cent during seven years of continuous
Republican rule. During the year ending
July |, 1898, the receipts from the money
order business were SSH. OBS; for the
year ending July l, 1902. they were ST..
SS9,SlI, an increase OF 1873 per cent dur,

report for 1902 said: The increase in

ENGINE BROKE AWAY
Passengers on the. Northwestern Have
a Funny Little Experience While
Going to Chicago tuesday.
ARE STRANDED AT WINTHROP

Three hundred passengers on board
Northwestern train leaving Kenosha
at ten O'Clock Tuesday morning had a
most interesting little experience when
they were stranded at Winthrop Har-
Dor while the engine which was pull.
ing the train went putting down the
road far beyond Zion City. The train
had left Kenosha minute or two late
and it went off for Waukegan at a
great rate. The conductor had made
the round Of the train and had collect
ed the tickets when the train came to a
sudden stop. winthrop Harbor''
shouted the fagman and the conductor
jumped from his seat to discover why
the train was stopping at the little
cross roads town. He pulled the bell
rope but got only mockery in response.
The conductor jumped off the train
and looked for the difficulty. There
was no putting engine on ahead and to
all intents and purposes the cars we're
being moved and stopped by their own
weight. The engine was not in sight
at all. The passengers fearing that
some accident had occurred jumped off
the cars only to discover that they
were stranded at Winthrop Harbor.
After wait of half an hour the foot
of an engine was heard and the anx-
ious conductor looking up the track
discovered the engine with the bag
gage car attached backing up from the
regions in which Zion City and Wau-
kegan are located. AS soon as the
smoke of the profanity was cleared
away the engine was again coupled to
the train and it pulled into Chicago
half an hour late. It is supposed that
the unusual accident resulted from the
fact that the coupling machinery on
the engine had worn out. The engin-
eer did not discover the loss of the
train until he had gone several miles.

Marked Money Found in the Pocket OF
Burglar Indicates That He is
Guilty OF Another Crime.
TENNYsEN MYSTERY is SOLVED.
Marshall Refuses to Admit His Connection
with the Crime but 1t Will be Look
ed Into When Case is Settled.

The mystery connected with the
robbery Of the Tennysen saloon
some time ago is thought to have been
solved and the crime is cow being laid
at the feet of John Marshall who is
now in cell at the county jailcharged
with burglarizing the saloon of Kohl
man & Willems on Milwaukee aveuue
Marshall has refused to admit his guilt
but the evidence points strongly
to his being held for the crime and it
is possible that before Marshall is I'm.
ally landed behind the bars that he
will be found to have been connected
with number of petty burglaries
about the city.
When Marshall was taken down to
court yesterday for a hearing the
sheriff made an inventory Of the things
which were IN his pocket at the time
of his arrest and among other things
he found a lead dollar. AT the time of
the robbery of the Tennysen saloon
there was lead dollar in the till and
it was among the things missing.
When the dollar was taken in by
Tennysen he had taken an ice pick
and marked it so that he would not
hand it out in change to any of his
customers. The dollar found in Mar
shall's pocket bore the mark which
had been placed on it by Tennysen
and the saloon man identified the coin
as the one that had been stolen from
the till. Sheriff Timme claims that he
will be able to produce the fancy bot
ties which we're stolen from the Ten
nysen saloon tomorrow and he thinks
that this will be sufficient to fix the
blame for this burglary on Marshall.
AT the time of the finding Of the coin
the sheriff asked Marshall who was
with him at the time of the robbery of
the Tennysen saloon but Marshall re.
fused to make any statements, neither
admitting or denying that he had been
connected with the robbery. He told
the sheriff that he would refuse to say
any more in regard to the burglaries
of which he was charged until after
he had been sentenced by Judge Bel
den. The Judge will come to Keno
sha on Thursday and it is probable
that at that time Marshall will be able
to tell something in regard to other
burglaries in the city. The police
seem to believe that there are several
young men in the city who have been
connected with Marshall in the burg
larizing of places in the city and it is
possible that other arrests will be
made.

POOR BUT HONEST.
Poor Woman Returns Roll of Money
Found in a Discarded Jacket
to the Chief OF Police.
OWNERS DID NOT KNOW OF MONEY

That the poor people of Kenosha are
honest has been shown by little in
cident which is being given publicity
by the Chief of Police today.
Not great while ago one of the
best known young matrons of the city
gave the Chief Of Police cloak which
she instructed him to give to some
poor woman in the city. The cloak
had belonged to the mother-in-law of
the lady and since the death of the
elder woman the garment had not been
examined. The Chief took the cloak
and finding a worthy woman gave it
to her. The woman accepted it with
many thanks and carried it to her
home.
The following day she decided to
make some repairs on the garment,
and while doing so she noticed that it
seemed to be out of shape on account
of something seemingly between the
lining. She went on search for the
obstruction and found that it was a
roll of bills which had been carefully
secreted in the inner pocket of the
cloak. The poor woman at once hur-
ried back to the Chief of Police and
turned the money over to him. It was
given to the woman who had donated
the jacket. She stated that she had
no idea that there was any money in
the garment, but that her mother-in-
law had several times carried money
in the coat, and as she had worn it a
short time before her death it was
probable that she had placed the money
in the pocket and then forgotten it.
The poor woman was amply rewarded
for her honesty.
The Chief declines to give the names
of the people concerned in the case or
to tell the amount of money found in
the coat pocket. He admits, however,
that all the parties are well known and
that the amount of money was consid-
cradle,

THERE is little doubt but that an ad.
sninistration candidate will be brought
out sooner or later to attempt TO de-
feat Senator Quarles. The Governor
is too shrewd politician, no matter
how strong he believes himself to be,
TO appear before the people as posi-
BILE future candidate for the senate
while running for governor, and yet
the way must be kept clear for him to
go to Washington in case he is in a
position to dictate to the legislature
after the election. The man who is
selected to turn the trick is going to
have his work cut out for him, how
ever. Quarles is strong with the farm
ers, as he deserves to be, and any plan
to turn him down for reelection will
have to reckon with them. Neither
the Governor nor his candidate is
going to have any easy time convinc-
ing them that Quarters is not entitled
to second term, and we believe that
when the time comes to decide be-
tween the Governors man or even the
Governor, and Quarles that they will
stand by the Senator.

Justice McCarron Places Mary Chnitschki
Under Bonds to Prevent Murder.
Tony Chnitschki, Polish resident
of the city who has wife and any
amount Of trouble, called at the Office
of Justice McCarron this morning and
asked that warrant be issued for the
arrest of his wife aud that she be put
under peace bonds to keep her from
numbering him.
Tony looks as if he was big enough
to take care of himself but it is evident
that the woman that he had digni6ed
with his name has him decidedly
scared. In his complaint against the
wife Chnitschki states that his wife
not only threatened to poison him but
that she threatened to torture him by
pouring boiling water over him. JUS
tice NcCarron evidently considers that
that the life of Tony is worth about a
hundred dollars and the woman will be
forced to give bonds to this amount as
soon as Deputy Sheriff O'Hare, who is
in charge of the warrant, is able to To-
cate her.

of the channel at the Main street
bridge. This is one of the things that
che city cannot afford to neglect. A

width called for in the specifications

Consul Kroncke Makes a Remarkable
Report on Condition OF N.
W. A. in This City.
GREAT LOSS WAS EXPECTED.
Members Thought That Increase In Rates
County Camps Being Proposed.

Head Consul Jacob Kroncke has just
sent out his report of the local camp of
the order of the Modern Woodmen and
the report is probably one of the most
remarkable sent out by any lodge of
the order in this state. A short time
ago the head officials of the order vot-
ed to raise the rates for insurance in
the order and in some cases the rates
we're advanced as high as fifty per
cent. At that time the Kenosha lodge
of the Woodmen had 240 members.
The members of the local camp had
been vigorous in their opposition to
the increase in rates and it was pre-
dicted that the camp would lose at
least one-half of its membership when
the new schedule of rates went in o
effect. This prediction proved to be a
great error for with the first month
after the increase the Consul of the Ke-
nosha camp reports that there has been
but one desertion from the ranks and
the membership in the camp is now
239. The old members have decided
to hang with the camp for another
year at least and it possible that at the
next meeting of the Head Camp of the
order the Kenosha delegation will lead
a fight for some sort Of new adjust
ment of the rates. 1t is evident that
the Kenosha Woodmen are planning
to make some sort of a fight for a
change in rates as the camp is paying
up all the dues and of the entire mem
bership it is stated that only nine were
ia arrears when the dues for the month
were collected. What is true of Ke.
nosha is also true of all the other
camps in the county and it is claimed
that the increase in rates will result in
the loss of less than dozen members
from all the camps in the county. A
reunion of the Woodmen of the county
is being planned for the coming sum
mer and it is the intention of the mem
bers of the different lodges in the
county to make the order more of a
social order than in the past.
It is even possible that the mem bers
of the different lodges in the county
will form some sort of union where
by the operating expenses of the diff.
ferent camps will be greatly reduced.
AT present the operating expense is
one of the big items of expense for the
different camps and could union be
affected the cost of insurance to them
would be greatly reduced.
