MADE HIM PAY UP.
M. r. & K. Conductor Forced to Pay
Racine Girl to Stop Suit.

M. r. & K. Conductor Forced to Pay
Racine Girl to Stop Suit.
One of the conductors employed on
the Milwaukee, Racine & Kenosha
Electric railway came near being de-
fendant in breach of promise suit
recently. AS the story is being told
this gentleman waited upon a buxom
young maiden of the Belle City for
more than year, paying her every
possible attention.
They finally became engaged to
marry. Attentions on the part of the
lover became strained. His GOODNESS
made the girl warm, and she deter
mined to bring him to time. Writing
him a letter she informed him that
she had waited upon an attorney and
that unless he called, and pretty
quick, she would commence a suit
for breach of promise.
With all possible haste the con-
ductor sought his former sweetheart
and there was stormy session. He
was charged with cruelty deceiving
her. BY paying her $500 he settled
the difficulty.

LUMBER COMES ASHORE.
Farmers Between Kenosha and Berry.
vile Pick up Quantities of Lumber.

Farmers Between kenOsha and Berry
vile Pick up Quantities of Lumber
For the past two or three days a
considerable quantity of lumber has
been coming ashore between this city
and Berryvi11e and different farmers
who have been patro1ing the beach
have secured anywhere from one to
two wagon loads apiece. When the
first of the lumber began to come
ashore considerable apprehension
was felt for fear that one of the
lumber vessels had been overwhelmed
in some of the recent severe storms
which have swept the lake and had
gone to the bottom with her crew.
The absence of wreckage among the
drifting lumber, however, has led to
the conclusion that some vessel had
lost her deck1oad and that no fears
for the safety of any of the vessels on
the lake need be felt. No boat has
been reported missing and as far as
can be ascertained none is overdue at
at any of the ports on the lake.

SHE INHERITS$ $4,000
A Distant Relative Leaves Large
Sum to Miss Ida Stephens
of Bristol.
HAS TO WAIT FIVE YEARS.

By the death of a distant relative
Miss Ida Stephens, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William Stephens of the
town of Bristol, is reported to have
fallen heir to a fortune estimated at
$4,000. James Stephens, wealthy
farmer of Southern Indiana, died in
in September of this year leaving an
estate estimated at $125, 600. By the
terms of his will his adopted daught-
er inherits his entire property with
the exception of one piece of property
valued at 5000 which is left to Miss
Stevens. The will further provides
that the young lady is not to get pos
session of his inheritance until five
years after the death of the testator.
The family of the young lady was
reticent in regard to the report and
refused to absolutely affirm or deny it
saying it was their desire to avoid
publicity as much as possible. The
friends of the young lady are firmly
convinced of the truth of the report,
and she is receiving many congratu-
lations on her good fortune.

KICK ON SERVICE.
Many Complaints Being Registered
Against Street Car Service.


Against Street Car Service.
There has been much dissatisfac-
ton expressed recently at the service
being given the patrons of the Keno
sha Street Car Company. tits claimed
and with foundation that the car that
reaches the hosiery at eleven o'clock
at night instead Of making the return
trip At once, to pick up be1ated pas
sengers, stays over at the hosiery
works for a~ha1f hour and does not
make the return to town until 1880.
This should be looked into and the
service made regular and without
bitches of this sort. Patrons stand
on the corner waiting for the car that
never comes. Complaints have also
been made recently that often times
when cars are making fast time that
they do not stop on signal to take on
passengers. This is most apt to hap
pen, says the complaint, on South
street where it is down grade and the
cars run at furious rate. Several
complaints of this nature have been
made and it is time that the matter was
looked into by the officials and the
rnotormen and conductors instructed
gently but firmly, that such neglect
of the convenience of the patrons and
supporters of the road won't do.

"A resolution was then submitted
that the ordinance be received. pub
l1shed and acted on Nov, 7. Under
discussion of this resolution it came
out that If the council does adopt
the ordinance and there is objection
on the part of the people, then one
tenth OF the voters can petition the
council and the matter must be SUBJ
m1tted to the people for their decision
at an election. The resolution was
adopted. Certain of the aldermen
objected to the promiscuous building
OF SCHOOLS by the board of education,
but it is known fact that under Our
charter, and there is only one other
like 1T in the state, the council is
helpless and the board of education
can build as many schools as it
likes and the council will have to pay
for them. A remedy for this was
suggested by Attorney Slater. He
said there was a recent law which if
adopted as part of our charter would
force the board of education to SUBJ
nit all plans for the construction of
schools to the council. This matter
will be taken up later, but is now
too late to cover the case in hand.
Middle Street Bridge.
representative Marsh, of the Marsh
Bridge Co., which is constructing the
Middle street bridge, addressed the
council and stated that he wished
them to release him from LAYING the
sidewalk and curbing and paving
on the Middle street bridge. He said
that if it were laid now that the set
Ting OF the bridge to it's filing would
in short time spoil the work, and
that any of the local sidewalk LAYERS
could put the same down in the
spring after all settling had taken
place. He wished the amount to be
deducted from his contract. He ad-
vocated the laying of brick pave
ment on the bridge instead of ma
cadam as the contract calls for. It
mittee on streets, alleys and bridges
with the engineer added with power to
act. 5000 was allowed on the con-
tract to pay for the work up to date.
Special officer.
In regard to the special policeman,
Thos. Ryan, to catch dogs without a
license, action was taken to submit a
proposition to Ryan, by which he is
to be appointed such officer and to be
compensated only by fees. Twenty
five cents day for care of dogs TAX
en- up. If not reclaimed by owner
with license at the end of FIVE DAYS
the dog to be killed for which the
city is to pay the amateur butcher the
SUM of 81.
In the course of the proceedings the
council found time to hand a bouquet
to "Hinkey Dink' O'Brien in the
shape of a job as paving inspector for
the Eagle and South Exchange
streets paving contracts at $3.50 per
day. IT is supposed this job was
handed to Mr.. O'Brien in remember
ance of his faithful services to the
city in the past.
The city attorney was instructed to
write to the c. & N. w. Ry. and de-
mand that they proceed at once
with the opening of Collins street,
for which they have had their pay
some two weeks.
After certain other matters of reg
u1ar business were attended to the
council adjourned till next Thursday
night, when the ever present sewer
proposition will again come up for
discussion and it is hoped for action.

Who, in a petition to me, have al
legged that they are members and
electors of the Republican party re-
siding and voting in Kenosha

Gentlemen
You have petitioned me to answer
the following questions.
First
care you in accord with the reso-
1utions passed by the convention
that nominated you for the Assembly
of Wisconsin,"
Second
eff elected, will you, in good faith
vote for and support the Hon. Joseph
V. Quarles for U. S. Senator from
Wisconsin, at the next session of
Legislature of the State of Wiscon-
sin?''
In reply to the questions PROFOUND
ed, permit me to say, am lifelong
Republican, and have always been
willing to abide by the decision of
the majority of our party, and wish
it to be distinctly understood that I
am in full accord and sympathy with
the resolutions passed by the conven-
ton that nominated me for the AS
semb1y of Wisconsin. The vote on
those resolutions showed that forty
delegates out of forty-eight, who
represented the entire Republican
party of Kenosha county, favored
their passage. 1t should not be nec-
essary for me to say that unless l
was in full accord with the reso1u-
tions as passed, should not have
accepted the nomination for the As
semb1y. 1 will answer the second
question by saying that the conven-
ton that nominated me, instructed
me not to vote for any one who took
part in the rump convention held in
opera house in the city of Madison,
or who favored the alleged nominees
thereof.
Hoping this will clearly define my
position, as Republican candidate for
the Assembly, am

the Letter Sent Him by the
Republican Club.
STANDS BY RESOLUTIONS
is in Full Accord With All Acts of Con-
vention Which Nominated Him
or Would Not Run.

Walker M. Curtiss, the nominee of
the Republican convention for men,
Der of assembly, has sent in his reply
to the letter signed by over 200 voters
and forwarded to him by the Republi-
can club of this city and there need be
no further speculation as to where he
stands. Mr.. Curtiss aunounces''that
he is in full sympathy with all the
acts of the convention that nominated
him, resolutions and all, and that un
der no circumstances will he vote for
Joseph V. Quar1es for senator if
elected. Mr.. Curtiss declined to say
anything further for publication in
regard to the stand he has taken and
the effect it might have on the cleo
ton in the county, saying that the
letter as written fully expressed his
sentiments and that there was moth
ing further to say. The letter sent by
Mr.. Curtiss is just the kind of reply
that might have been expected under
the circumstances and it ought to have
the effect of clearing the political at

RATHBONE DEMANDS
RIGHT TO BE HEARD
Appeals to Congress for Re.
view of Cuban Postal
Scandal Case.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 27-
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, chair
man of the senate committee on rela-
tons with Cuba, has received from
Maj. E. G. Rathbone an appeal for a
review of his case by congress, in
which he calls attention to the investi-
cation of the protests against the con-
frmation of Gen. Leonard Wood by
the senate committee on military af-
fairs. He has on file with Senator
Platt's committee request for an in
vestigation of the circumstances un-
der which he was convicted of COM
plicity in the Cuban postal frauds, but
no action has ever been taken in the
matter. Maj. Rathbone took a prom
inent part in the fight made on Gen.
Wood, alleging that Gen. Wood used
undue influence in bringing about his
(Rathbones) conviction. 1t is assert
ed also that the late Senator Hanna's
interest in the case was due to his
belief that Maj. Rathbone was dealt
with unjustly. Maj. Rathbone uses in
his appeal to congress all of the COM
ment concerning his case which was
made by Senator Hanna in his brief
regarding the Wood case and which
is now confidential document of the
senate. Maj. Rathbone bases his claim
for an investigation on his right to be
heard as an American citizen.

LOGGING SEASON is
NEARING THE FINISH
iron Range Roads Will Clean Up Logs
and Attack the Ore Pile.
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, March 27.-The
two roads leading to the iron range
and northern ST Louis county expect to
complete their logging contracts by
April l, and after the remainder of the
pulpwood has been moved, there will
be nothing in the way of the iron ore
traffic, which will be continued for the
remainder of the season. Most of the
mines which operate during the early
spring will stockpile their output until
the timber has been hauled out.
There has been a considerable falling
off in the logging traffic during the
present year, in spite of the early pre-
dictions of increased activity in the
woods. The Duluth & Iron Range will
haul about 100000 feet as compared
with 100,000,o0O feet which was shipped
last year, and the haul of the Duluth,
Missabe & Northern will not exceed.
100000 feet as compared with 3d.
100000 feet in 1903. The latter road has
700 cars of pulpwood yet to haul,
while there will be 1900 cars to be
shipped out over the Duluth & Iron
Range road.

WARNING SOUNDED
Rev. H. V. Givler Speaks to
Careless Heads of Families.

Speaking from the text, But, as for
me and my house, we will serve. the
Lord" Rev. H. v. Givler, of the First
Methodist church, at the morning serv-
ice yesterday said in part:
The problem of human society is not
a new one, 1t rs nearly as old as the
world; the question of family life like
s. We are sometimes asking ourselves
what is the reason that the conditions
under which we now carry on religious
prayer meetings forsaken, special serv-
ices in the churches not receiving the
patronage they once did, a good many of
the churches not half occupied by Wor-
come to wonder what It means. -
Socialism is a term kept before the
minds of the people to conjlire with for
1t may mean a good many things, and we
who believe in God, who read the New
Testament, who think they see, perhaps
really do see, that in our eccleSiastic or
CARNATIONS there is great deal of. pa.
geantry, machinery and authority, that
is not like the principles of Christ.
All this may be true, but there is a
larger and still more. terrific fact con-
fronting us, namely, that quietly, with
, out much assumption, the tendency to
belittle the preaching of the gospel, to
vilify the representatives of religion, to
make ISQI OF us cld1InS,s TO nave no
concern about immortal things-unchris-
ton socialism, with its dire and poison
GUS influences saturating society through
and through. That there may be honest
men in all this vast movement l dare not
doubt, but I call your attention to this
great fact, that the claims of socialism
present type of. society the value of
which has never been demonstrated, that
men have nibbled at in various times and
ages, that philosophers and sages have
thought and talked about and lived around
for awhile, but, that never yet in any
land or age has been lived long enough
to demonstrate it's practical value.
The Christian religion, that has reg
ulated society, balanced governments, ex-
plotted the largest enterprises, been the
life and nerve of revolutions and refor-
nations, has gone into all lands, under all
conditions, has lifted men out of perjury
beggary and degradation, has washed
crime and ruin from continents and has
made the world a fit place for mankind
to live in, therefore, we are not here,
in the midst of conditions like these to
apologize for the Christian religion, but
to plant our feet anew upon it's founda-
lions and emphasize as it needs to be
emphasized not only to command respect
but to demonstrate to all the world
that we believe in it as much as we ever
did and dare to stand by 1t through evil
as well as good report.
o fatherS! are you seeing to 1t that
not only are the children at church and
family worship and giving reverence to
the things of God, do you ever sit down
and talk with them about their habits;
their associations, the influences that
