POP sCHOOLEY "A HERO.

Another fire occurred on Saturday
night at the Millinery store on Main
street owned by Miss McDermotte. In
this fire Pop Schoo1ey, the strenu-
GUS second baseman of the Kenosha
base ball team, managed to prove his
right to a place in the temple of
heroes, by saving the proprietor Of
the store from being burned. The
fire originated in the south show
window Of the store and was caused
by the explosion of a lamp.
In her efforts to get the stock out of
the window, Miss McDermotte got too
near the blazing curtains and her
hair caught fire. It was at this point
the base ball player came into the
incident. He saw the peril which
threatened Miss McDermotte, and with
great presence of mind he managed
to take blanket and extinguish the
flames. Miss McDermotte escaped
with slight injuries, a porslon Of her
hair being burned off.
The department responded to call
for assistance and the flames were
quickly extinguished. The loss from
the fire will be in the neighborhood
of 500 and it is fully covered by in
surance.

consulting engineer, in regard to the
changes in the sewer system. Mr.
Shields stated that it, was evident
that the main sewers were now drain
ing districts much larger than had
been contemplated by the original de-

Ken0shS Life Savers Are Called to Zion
City and Take Three Men OFF
a Sinking Sail Boat.
BOAT BEACHED SOUTH OF KENOSHA
Men in little Sail Boat Spend Five Hours
Praying for Life Before They Are
Rescued by the Life Savers.

The Kenosha 1ife-saving crew
headed by that veteran, Captain Cam
eron-a added three more names to the
long list of lives saved Sunday after
noon, when the Captain and his men
took three men from sinking sail
boat three miles south of Kenosha.
The men had been drifting with the
wind and waves for more than five
hours, and the boat had filled with
water. In another ha1f-hour all of
them would have gone to the bottom.
The boat in which the Zionists had
gone out was an old rowboat which
had been fitted out with spars and
sails. They left the beach at Zion
shortly before 10 O'Clock, and after
they had gone two miles out into the
lake the old scow began to leak, and
with squat coming up the three
men were power1ess to take her back
to the beach. They signa11ed for help,
and Zion City wired the life savers in
Kenosha of their peril. Captain Cam
eron and his crew fitted the sails in
the life boat and at once started from
Kenosha for Zion.
Once outside of the harbor the life
savers found that it was not possible
to make much Roadway against the
wind and sea. They went far out into
the lake and managed to secure tow
from the ferry "Fisher," and with
this aid they managed to reach Zion
shortly before O'Clock. The men
were in great peril, and for hours the
anxious watchers from the beach had
been expecting to see the boat and it's
occupants go down. The men we're
seen to be praying for the arrival of
help. and the people rdn along the
beach for miles shouting encourage
ment to them. When the life savers
managed to reach Zion they found
that they were still four miles from
the sinking boat, but with spanking
breeze in the sails they managed to
reach the boat in half an hour.
When the life savers reached the
craft it was less than a mile from the
beach, and they at once went for the
three men, who were all but exhaust
ed. The great crowd f.peop1e, many
of them friends of the men in the
boat, and who had followed the life
savers in their work, shouted with
g1ee as the three men, who were all
exhausted, were removed from the
boat. Later the old craft was beached
near Winthrop Harbor.
It is probable that the leaders of
Zion will draw an awful moral from
the narrow escape OF the men in the
boat, and that boating on Sunday will
be tabooed in Zion in the future.

Two Cases of Smallpox Discovered
in the Village lust North of Ke-
nosha People Panic Stricken
CASES ARE OF A LIGHT TYPE.
Some of the People Alleged to be Afflicted
said to Have Attended Public Schools
and Epidemic Is Feared

The village of Berryvi11e, in the
town of Somers, is all excitement to-
day on account of the report that two
cases of smallpox have been discov-
cred in the town. The town chairman
has been appealed to by residents of
the affected districts, and an effort is
being made to have the state health
officer order a general vaccination
among the children of the village and
the surrounding territory. While it is
admitted that the disease is ina very
light form, it has caused thei widest
dreds of school children havesbeen
exposed to the disease. The people
afflicted with the alleged smallpox de-
clare that the disease is either measles
or chicken pox, but other and wiser
heads declare that the disease is
well developed type of smallpox. One
OF the victims has entirely recovered,
but the other one is now in the crucial
stage of the disease, and in order to
prevent any possible spread of the
dread disease the man hassbeen iso-
lated from the other members of the
family. Residents of the neighbor-
hood were in Kenosha today to ar
range with the health officer of the
city TO prevent any possible spread of
the disease to Kenosha. It is alleged
that children from one of the families
afflicted with the disease attended the
school at Berryvi11e during the past
two weeks, and if the small pox is
contagious hundreds Of people have
been exposed to it. It seems to be
impossible to discover the source of
the diseases but it is thought possible
that the disease was brought into the
town by farm hands and communicate
ed in this manner.
A member of one of the families al
legged to have been afflicted with the
disease was at the ball game yester-
day and mingled freely with the crowd
in the grand stand.
The people of the town are calling
down the wrath of the powers on the
doctors who have treated Ethe cases,
and they allege that the doctors have
taken no steps to quarantine the homes
of the victims or to make it possible |
for the people of the town to keep out I
of harms way.

THE OLD PLANTATION.

A story of intense heart interest,
capital comedy scenes, quaint South
ern humor, old-time negro plantation
melodies and stirring climaxes, is the
dramatic essence Eof the latest of
Southern comedy-dramas, sThe Old
Plantation, +" which will be produced
for the first time in this city at the
Rhode opera house on Sunday, May
10Th. DThiss p1ay1is frons the pen of
the we1lknown and successful play
wright, Vale, and is consid-
eredsby the critics of dramatic 1itera-
turesto be'his masterpiece. The dia-
logue scintillates with bright comedy,
and the various exciting climaxes are
led up to in a most natural manner.
The scenic effects, which show the
old plantation during cotton picking
time, the interior of a Georgia prison
with change to the city by night,
and the'old plantation in winter, are
realistic andspicturesque. The cast
has been carefully selected, and the
author plays the role created for him
self, that Of Gustave Leroy, Louisi-
ana Acadian. Miss Louise McCa11um,
the charming coincidence, has most
congenial role in that of.sKatie Scar
ellie, the pet Of the plantation. Many
bright spec1alties are introduced.

UNDER THE WHEELS.
Unknown Man Loses His Life in a
Railway Accident at Zion City
Saturday Evening.
BODY WAS TERRIBLY MUTILATED.

Zion City had its first fatal railway
accident on Saturday evening, when
an unknown man met death by being
caught under the wheels of the en-
CINE pulling the train which arrived
IN Kenosha at 6:18. The body of the
man was SO terribly muti1ated that it
has been impossible to identify the
remains, and they are still at the
Zion morgue awaiting the arrival of
friends or relatives. It is supposed
that the man was tramp who was
living along the tracks near the sacred
precincts of Zion.
The accident occurred at the south
boundary of Zion City. The victim
had evidently been to one of the
stores at that place for provisions and
he was walking south along the track
when struck. There was a train on
each Of the tracks, and in attempting
to get out of the way of south bound
train the man stepped directly in
front of the north bound passenger.
The body was badly mang1ed, al
most every bone in the body having
been broken and the head all but
severed. The train stopped as soon
as the accident occurred and backed
up. The remains were picked up
and carried to Zion. The coroner of
Lake county viewed the remains after
which they we're removed TO the
morgue to await claimant. Up to a
late hour today the man had not been
identified. The train was delayed
half an hour on account Of the acct
dent.

Is AFTER THE CHIEF
Racine Attorney Said 10 Have Been
Retained For the Purpose of Gust
ing the Chief Of Police.
NO KNOWLEDGEsOF MATTER HERE

A press telegram from Racine to a
Milwaukee paperS lasts. night stated
that body of Kenoshassmenghad been
IN that city yesterday and,had retained
the services of AttorneyB Mortimer
Walker for the'purpose1of making an
effort to remove Chief of Police Fred
Reinold, of the KenoshaSpo1ice force,
from Office. It is a11egedgthat the &C
ton is the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS faction of
the chief in removing a union card
from one of the saloons of the city
some time ago. The attorney was
reticent on the matter, andswhen APP
preached by newspaper sn1an he de-
clined to give out any ofsthessfacts in
regard to the case. The cardsswas re-
moved from the saloon offered Palm

had retained Mr.. Walker, and that he
was making an effort tos..discover the

the saloon. He declined to discuss the
matter further.
Secretary Buckmasterss..of the fire

pasture and the bull at once made for
her. Thoroughly frightened, Mrs.
Luke started to run for the gate but
the bull was too quick for her and
managed to run her down. The bull
thrust one of his horns through the
breast of the woman and the other
dug great hole into her abdomen.

TIE most disastrous fire in the his

Ipany at Pleasant Prairie occurred on
Monday afternoon between four and
five O'Clock when a blaze, started by
a spark from passing engine, re-
suited in confagration which de-
stroyed the soda house, coke house
and beater house of the plant entail
ing loss of ten thousand dollars
without insurance.
railway tracks, and it was the first to
burn. The mou1ten soda ran out of
the house and before the flames could
be checked they had spread to the
other buildings. In the soda house
twenty car loads Of soda had been
stored. It was all destroyed. The
office building was on fire at one time
but the fire fighters managed tolsave
it after a hard fight
In the beaten house all the mach
inery was melted by the fierce flames.
The people were out in force to check
the spread of the fire, and it was
largely due to the heroic work of the
fremen that the blaze did not reach
the powder house and cause an ex-
p1osion which might have resulted in
the killing of many people.
The loss of course is total one, as
there was no insurance on any of the
burned buildings. The force of
workmen began clearing away the
debris this morning, and the plant
will be rebuilt as soon as possible.

SIMKos WINS OUT.
Troubled Courtship of Geo. simkos Ends
With wedding at Polish Church.

George Sinkos will not join the reg
u1ar army, as he threatened to do on
Saturday, for Sunday morning at St.
Casimere's church he led his blush
ing bride, Anna Bjorina, to the altar,
and he will probably remain IN Keno
sha and be the leading man in the
Simkos home.
George had all sorts of trouble in
completing the arrangements for his
wedding, and up to the day Of the
marriage it looked as if the wedding
might be called off and the license re-
turned to the county clerk to be added
to the unused list" Saturday night,
however, Simkos and his prospective
bride managed to adjust all their diff
ferences, and the outcome was a
happy one.
Simkos and his bride are well known
among the polish people of the city,
and when they came to the Polish
Catholic church Sunday morning to
assume the vows of matrimony the
church was well filled with their
friends. After the ceremony at the
church was over Mr.. and Mrs. Simkos
went to their new home on the West
side, where an a11-day wedding ce1e-
bration was held Last night the
people of the neighborhood gave the
newly married couple a great recep-
ton. Sinkos and his bride seem to
be supreme1y happy, and there is lit
tie doubt but that the wedding which
came up through great tribu1ation
will result happily for ali concerned.
The many friends of the bride and
groom will be pleased to extend con-
gratu1ations.
