Well Known Farmer Near State Line
Hacks His Throat With a Razor
With Fatal Results.
AWFUL STRUGGLE FOR DEATH
Wife Attempts to Save the Life of Her Hus-
and Arms.-Insanity the Cause.

Simon Carney, we'll known farmer
lage of Russell, committed suicide
Thursday afternoon by hacking his
throat with razor. The suicide has
caused a great sensation in Pleasant
Prairie where the deceased was well
known and connected with several Of
the best known families in the town.
It is alleged that Carney was insane at
the time of his awful deed. Mrs. Car.
ney attempted to prevent the suicide of
her husband and was terribly cut bout
the arms and hands. 1t is stated that
her injuries are not serious and she
will recover.
Carney had been acting strangely
for several days but he had given no
indication that he was meditating self
destruction. He was about the house
Thursday morning and seemed to be
in better spirits than on previous days,
His wife was alone in the house with
him and shortly after dinner he began
TO act as if he was suffering from great
mental anguish. Mrs. Carney made
him as comfortable as she could and
then went out into the yard for an er
rand. When she returned to the house
| she was Mortified to see her husband
standing in the middle of the room
with an open razor in his hand. She
at once devined the purpose of the
razor and rushing over to him she at.
tempted to take the weapon away from
him. Then followed terrible strug.

tai anguish still proved more than a
match for the woman. In his frenzy
Carney to break away from
his wife and s1ashed his throat.
Mrs. Carney did not give up, ant
seeing that the wound that had beer
made was not fatal one1she renewed
her efforts to get possession of tht
weapon. In the struggle she managed
to get hold of the razor and her hant
was seriously cut.
The room was smearedS with blood
and other marks of the terrible con
dict but the man fought furious1y
Finally the razor was wrested from hi!
bloody hand and it fell to the floor, tn,
blade being broken in two. Mrs. Car
ney, overcome by the excitement ant
loss of blood, fell to the floor exhaust
ed. The man then picked up one o
the broken pieces of the razor and il
sight of his wife hacked his throa
until the jugular vein had been sever
ed and he fell to the floor.
Mrs. Carney managed to call thu
neighbors but the man died befor'
medical aid could be secured. AS sooi
as possible the coroner of Lake county
was called and he secured a jury to in
vestigate the case.
Carney had resided near the state
line for many years and was wei
known in Kenosha and Pleasan
Prairie. It is said that there were sew

Is ACCEPTED
Trustees of Lawrence University Ac-
cept the Gift of the Late
w. w. Cooper.
NEW ASSETS ARE DISCOVERED

The board of trustees of Lawrence
university, one of the bene6ciaries of
the will of the late w. w. Cooper, met
at Appleton Wednesday night and
formally accepted the requests made to
the university by the late resident OF
this city. The university will now
employ an attorney to take charge of
their interest ia the estate and this at
torney will undoubtedly arrange for
the proper investment of the money on
hand so that the amounts due to the
widow and other heirs of Mr.. Cooper
can be paid at once if they agree to ac-
cept the division of the estate as pro-
vided by the will.
In connection with the acceptance of
the gift telegram has been sent out
from Appleton which is not wholly
understood and which seems to show
that the trustees of the university were
acquainted with the investments which
had been made by Mr.. Cooper during
the last years of his life. The tele.
gram is as follows:
Appleton, Wis.,, Feb. 4.-The trus.
tees of Lawrence university met last
night and accepted the provisions Oh
the will of w. W. Cooper Of Kenosha.
1t is found that Lawrence will receive
about $4,000. It is found that because
of investments made by Mr.. Coopei
just before his death the amount will
not be as large as was expected. He
had put 100000 into three factories
which are not yet on sound footings
| and will be sold for what the maclain
! cry can bring. Others of his invest
ments must also be sold at sacrifice
| it is said.''

PLANS FOR UNION
Delavan PouItryAssociatiOn ard Keno
sha Association to Enter South
eastern Wisconsin Association.
OF INTEREST TO spoRTsMEN.

The officials of the Kenosha Poultry
Association have issued call for a
special meeting to be held in the near
future at which time the managers
will take some action on plan pro-
posed by the association at Delavan for
the formation of a Southeastern Wis
consin Poultry Association. The Del.
AVIAN association has been in existence
for the past two years and successful
shows have been given each year. It
is thought that with the organization
of the several associations in this Sec
ton of the state into union the bust
ness of all of them would be increased
and at the same time a great deal of
interest would be worked up. With a
union of half dozen towns within a
few miles of each other the various
cities would be on circuit and hum
dreds of birds not usually seen at the
individual shows would in this way
come into competition. Many of the
mem bers of the Kenosha association
prefer to remain outside of any circuit
as the Kenosha association has proven
a success from the start. Other mem
bers of the association prefer union
with towns closer to Kenosha if such a
thing is to be made. Waukegan has
no association at the present time but
it is possible that both Waukegan and
some of the smaller towns in Kenosha
and Lake county would be glad to join
with Kenosha. Such a union could be
much more easily managed.
No action will be taken until later
in the year and in the mean time the
Kenosha association will elect new
officers and arrange for the show for
next season. The show will proba bly,
be held in January. The fact that the
association did not make any money
this year will not in any way interfere
with the show next year.

BEER GOES UP.
Price of the Amber Fluid to Be Raised
March LIST For All Grades.


March LIST For All Grades.
Kenosha agents representing Mil
waukee reweries will soon be notified
that the prices on all grades Of beer
will be raised about March !, and this
will cause an increase in the price now
charged the retailer, and the consumer
will also be affected. There will be
smaller glasses served and the GROWER
trade will be dispensed with.
The increase in the cost of produc-
ton is given as the reason for increas-
ing the price of beer. It is claimed
that labor, fuel and all ingredients Of
beer are higher thar year ago.
There is no corner in hops. When
the 1908 crop was &c, 900 bales, with
about 200 pounds to bale, and the
prevailing price is 81 to SO cents, il
can be seen what an enormous amount
Of money is required to corner the
market It is absurd. There was only
one corner in hops. This was in 1882
and 1884. A corner in the market was
never known before and has not been
since. Prices then reached SIPS per
pound.
Shortage in the present crop is due
to the decrease in acreage in New
York. The, 1908 crop in New York was
only one-third of that in 1895. From
1894 to 1897 hop land was plowed up
on the Pacific coast. The increases
there of late years. have more than
made good. With the increase on the
coast, there is still shortage of hops
compared with 1895 aud 1896 by thou
sands of bales.

I In the County Court this morning
Judge Slosson handed down decision
in the long. contested estate of William
G. Buttrick, late of the town of Pleas
ant Prairie.
By the terms of the Judgment the
unsecured creditors will receive divi.
dend on their claims amounting to
thirty-fve cents on the dollar. The
court holds that the claims Of H. A.
King Of 5000 and interest, and Of John
Scharding of $27O and interest shall be
paid in full, as both of the claims were
secured by chattel mortgages. It is
possible that the other creditors will
appeal from the decision Of the court.
The estate was valued at about $1,000
and the debts we're more than double
this amount.

EDITOR STAR: I saw in your last is
sue that Lucinda Ballou was taken
to the Queens Hospital and that she
was suffering for lack of proper medi-
cal attendance" This statement ia in
correct and anyone reading it might
think that the doctor did not know
what to do or how to care properly of a
case like hers. The truth is this: She
was confined about a week ago and 1
was called later to give her assistance
for what she is suffering now; as I
found out this morning that they could
not carry on my prescriptions at home
advised her people to take her to the
Hospital where, she could be better
nursed. You must know that am not a
kahuna but graduate cum laude or
one of the beet medical school of
europe and my special training, as in
terne Of the hospital was on female
diseases and confinement cases.

says the Springville New Era, referred
to J. Frank Armstrong, who recently
visited his mother at Marion. AS
many of our readers know, this young
man is a mulatto, a gentleman of splen-

sistant to the private secretary of DR..

is a graduate of the Marion high

the respect and esteem Of all the stu

miration of the facult yof Cornell. He
is no laggard but is energetic, upright

BEHIND THE SCENES

Inc new leaf turning period It at
hand, when many make resolutions,
some to be kept and others soon for
gotten.
1t is truism that they who are
most weary of life and yet are most
unwilling to die are such as have
lived to no purpose; they have rather
breathed, than lived. In the main it
is this class who with the advent of
each new year promise themselves and
those interested in them to turn over
a new leaf" They may be sincere in
intention, but are usually lacking in
performance. There are exceptions
and it is to such that we say let the
reformation be genuine. Be firm in
resolve and let no temptation severe
you from the part of restriction and
well doing. School yourself in right,
honesty and integrity of purpose. Be
charitable TO the unfortunate, help 9TH
ers to overcome the weaknesses you
have conquered and cultivate a firm
hlial trust in the Fatherhood of God.
You will bring sunshine into the home
and those you love and who love you
will be happy.
