POST WILL ATTEND,
Fred S. LoyeII Post OF This City Asked
to Take Part in Dedication of New
Army Rooms in Milwaukee.
z. G. SIMMONS TO ENTERTAIN VETS

Fred S. Lowell Post of the Grand
Army, is to take an important part in
the dedication of the new Grand
Army headquarters of the E. B. VOL
colt Post. The dedication will take
place on next Friday evening and it
is expected that representatives of
many of the Grand Army Posts in the
state will attend the ceremonies.
In the invitation sent to the Keno
sha Post, it is stated that the dedica-
tory ceremonies will consist in a re-
ception to visiting Grand Army men
which will continue from five to eight
O clock, and after the reception the
formal dedication of the rooms will
take place. Distinguished speakers
will be present from different parts of
the state. Commander z. G. Sim
mons, the only honorary member of
the Grand Army in the state, has
been invited to be present at the dedi-
cation and will probably be one of the
speakers of the evening. Commander
Likes has notified the Milwaukee
cept the invitation and it is probable
that a hundred of the G. A. r. men
and their lady friends will go to Mil
waukee on Monday.
At the gathering of the old soldiers
yesterday, z. G. Simmons announced
to the members of the Post that he
had decided to hold his annual recep-
ton for the veterans during the
month of June and probably on the
10th. The exact date will be an
nounced later. The reception this
year will follow the plans carried out
in other. years and it is expected that
every veteran in the county will be
brought together at the home of Mr..
Simmons at that time.

KENOSHA RANKS II.
KenOSha is a Good Town for the Bio
Life Insurance Companies to
Write Policies In.
TOTAL PAYMENTS IN 1903 $4,000.

Kenosha is a good town for the in
surance companies, for out of the
more than 100000 insurance carried
in the old line companies in Kenosha,
the losses paid for the year 1908,
whichSwere made public by the In
surancesPress today were but $31, 106.
In the matter of the amount of insur-
ance paid, Kenosha is ranked as the
seventeenth city in the state. The
showinglis good one for Kenosha,
and is a splendid argument for the
hea1thfu1 conditions of the city. The
total amount of insurance losses
paid in sthe entire county was but
SSH
Of course these figures do not in
c1ude thea amounts that have been
paid by the various industrial and
benevolent companies and this list is
strictly limited to losses in old line
companies. The amount paid by the
so called "Industria1s" and the BEN
evo1ent societies, will probably
amount,,to an equal or greater amount
as it is sc1aimed that there is over d
million dollars in the industrial and
benevolent insurance in the city and
county.

Mrs. Anna Catherine SOens, Formerly
of KenOsha, Committed Suicide
at Pacine Monday.
HANGED HERSELF WITH A TOWEL
Had Been Despondent on Account of Com
tinued IIlness-Weu known to MANY of
the German People of Kenosha.

Mrs. Anna Catherine Soens, widow
of the late Michael Soens, and
former resident of this city, com
mitted suicide by hanging, at the
home of her son-in-1aw, Frederick
Stoeck1e, in Racine, Monday evening.
Her 1ifeless body was found dangling
from the end of a roller towel in one
of the rooms of the Stoecz1e home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stoeck1e had left the
city during the day and Mrs. Soens
had been left behind to care for the
house. Dependency and continued
illness is given as the reason for the
suicide.
Mrs. Soens was born in Germany
and when but eighteen years of age
she came to America and soon after
came to Racine, where she married
Michael Soens, and she was consid-
cred one of the very Oldest German
residents of the State.
Her husband was Blacksmith by
trade, and by hard work and economy
managed to save considerable money.
When he died some years ago he left
the widow comfortably well off. They
never had any children, but adopted
two daughters, Mrs. Frederick
Stoeck1e, of Racine, and another gill
who resides at Kenosha and is known
as Julia Soens.
For more than fifty years Mrs.
Soens and her late husband lived at
1418 Sohths Wisconsin street, Racine.
Mrs. Soens sold this home and came
to Kenosha where she lived with the
late Albert Zens. From the time she
sold the home she was downcast and
melancholy and it worked upon her
mind to such an extent that her mind
became deranged and she was taken
to an asylum at Detroit, Mich, and
Mr.. Zens was named as guardian to
look after her property interests.
In the Detroit asylum she stayed
possibly eight or nine months and
then returned to the home OF Mr..
zens, where she remained a few
months. Later, her guardian was
discharged and she assumed control
of her interests.
Mrs. Soens was known to nearly
every resident of the North Side of
the city and had spent much of her
life here. The announcement of her
sad ending when received in Kenosha
today, caused intense sorrow.
The funeral of Mrs. Soens will be
held tomorrow.

Unknown Man Dogs the Footsteps of
Miss Bronson and Attempts to
Force His Attentions on Her.
YOUNG WOMAN SHOWS PLUCK.
Breaks Away From DastardIy AssaiIant and
Manages to Reach Her Boarding Place.
Police Investigating.

indignation of the most violent ma
ture, is expressed among the teachers
of the city schools today, on account
of an insult offered to Miss Edna
Bronson, one of the High School
teachers, by an unknown man last
night. The man had been logging the
footsteps of the we'll known teacher,
and when she left street car to pro-
coed on foot to her home, he rushed
out and caught hold of her. Miss
Bronson managed to release herself
after struggle, and ran to the home
of James Bailey where she boards.
The matter was referred to the po-
lice this afternoon and while the
assai1ant of Miss Bronson, is I'M
known, every effort is being made to
locate him. The young woman has a
good description of the man, but she
does not know his name.
Miss Bronson had attended the con-
cert at the Opera House and had ex-
pected to go home with friends re-
siding in the neighborhood. The
friends failed to appear in the
Opera House, and when some of the
teachers offered to accompany the
young woman home she refused
the offer, stating that she could go
most of the way on the street car.
Miss Bronson boarded an Elizabeth
street car, and when it reached the
corner of Pleasant street she a1ighted
from the car.
It was evident that she had been
followed, for at the same time the
young woman stepped off the rear end
of the car man 1eaped off the front
end. AS soon as the car was out OF
hearing the man stepped up behind
the young woman and said, ''I swore
that would come home with you to-
night and I am coming At the
same time the fellow attempted tC
take hold of Miss Bronson in a fami1-
lar manner. The tea cher shouted for
help, and at the same time prepared
to defend herself against the man.
Expressing her indignation she fl.
, nally managed to free herself from
the grasp of the man and ran the re-
naming distance to the Bailey home.
The members of the house were
awakened and they started out to
look for the fellow but they could
/ find no trace of him.
