A NEW COUNTY LINE
Paris and Union Grove to Be Con-
nected With Telephone Line
in the Near Future.
INCORPORATE NEW COMPANY

A new telephone company has been
organized in Racine county, the line
to run from Union Grove to Paris,
Kenosha county. Articles of incor-
poration were filed with the register
of deeds in that county today by the
Uuion Grove and Paris Telephone
company. The capital stock is $1,000,
divided into 200 shares of SO each,
and the incorporators are Henry
Barns, o. P. Graham and E. E. Bart
holt.
During the past three years several
independent telephone companies
have been organized in Racine and
Kenosha counties with the result that
in nearly every town there is te1e-
phone system, and all of these sys-
TENS connect. Farmers who are the
principal stockholders in these indie
pendent telephone companies, are
placing telephones in their homes and
hundreds of telephones are now in
use in farm homes, stores and village
residences throughout the county.
It is expected that within a year all
of these independent telephone sys-
TENS will be connected with system
running into Milwaukee, as a COM
pany of which Frank M. Fish, for
mer1y of Racine, is the president, is
now working to secure franchise
and build telephone system in Mil
waukee, this system to be connected
with systems in Racine and Kenosha
counties. The independent lines in
Racine and Kenosha are connected
and many of the independent lines in
the two counties are connected with
the systems in the two cities.

DEATH WAS SUDDEN,
Miss Laura {. Brown Expired This
Morning as a Result of a
Stroke of ApopIexy.
Miss Brown was Dressing for Breakfast
When She Fell Over Unconscious
and Died Shortly After.
From fridays Dai1Y.l

Laura Eugenia Brown, one of the
best known women of the city, died
very suddenly at her home on Dening
street just before eleven O'Clock this
morning. Death resulted from con-
vulsions which followed the rupture
of a blood vessel of the brain.
The death of Miss Brown came as a
great shock to her many friends in
the city.
The final summons of the death
messenger came almost without any
warning. Miss Brown had arisen this
morning and seemed to bes:in the best
of health and spirits. In thes room
with her was her aunt, Miss Weeks.
She noticed that Miss Brown looked a
little white about the face, but
thought little about it. Suddenly
while dressing Miss Brown fell un-
conscious on the bed. Miss Weeks
attempted to revive her to conscious
ness and hastily summoned DR.. E. c..
Meers to the bedside. DR.. Meers at
once discovered that the condition of
the lady was serious and DR.. Adams
hurried to the residence from the
Sanitarium. When the doctor arrived
Miss Brown was suffering from icon
vu1sions and these followed one after
another until death came just before
eleven O'Clock. The patient never
regained consciousness.
Miss Brown had been connected
with the life of Kenosha since her
girlhood. She was the daughter of
E. P. and Elizabeth Brown and was
born at Peachen1, VT, March u, 1850.
She came with her parents to this
city in the late fifties and had resided
here ever since. She was closely con-
nected with the early rschoo1 life of
Kenosha and was graduate of the
old Kenosha High school. She was a
devout member of The First Congre-
gationa1 church and had been active
in all branches of the work of the
church.

DEATH OF LEWIS BEACHEL
Kenosha Boy Dies Far From Home in
Interior of Central Mexico.

1
Interior of Central Mexico.
Lewis A. Beache1 was born in Ke
nosha February End, 1870, and dice
near Batopi1as, State of Chihuahua
Mexico, August 18th, 1904.
| Mr.. Beache1 grew, to manhood ir
Kenosha. He was an exemplary
young man, member of Park Ave
| M. E. church, and a leader in Ep
worth League work. He went south
IN 1890. Spent one year at Macon
Ga, and then went to Jacksonville
Fla, where he was assistant te1e.
phone manager till 1897.
He was united III marriage with
Miss Bessie Bell Fu1ham, of Jack.
sonvil1e, Oct. 18th, 1898. From 1885,
to 1899 he had charge of the telephone
exchange at Pensacola, Fla. The
next eighteen months were spent al
San Antonio, Texas, as traffic mana
ger for the telephone company. Dur
ing the last three years he has been
at FL Paso, Texas, engaged in mining
and assaying. Recently he pur-
chased the Victoria silver mine in
Chihuahua, Mexico, an investment
from which he hoped to realize large
returns.
It was while making the long toll
some journey through Mexico in the
rainy season, to take charge of this
mine, that the sickness came upon
him which ended his life.
In June last he came to Kenosha
with his wife for a short visit-the
first he has made to his home since he
left fourteen years ago. Mrs. Bea-
che1 remained, intending to spend the
summer with his people, and is still
here.
AS soon as the report of his serious
illness was received, his brother
Charles, of Chicago, started to go to
him. 1t would take him twelve or
fourteen days to make the Journey,
only to find at the end that Lewis has
been dead and buried for two weeks.
The circumstance are inexpressi-
bly, sad. His wife, mother, brothers
and sister have the sympathy of the
entire community. Mrs. Beache1 has
just received d letter from his nurse,
in which she says: eve laid your
lonely husband to rest among our
own. Our sacred circle is a beauti-
full spot on the mountain side over
looking the valley of the Batopi1as
river. He met death so brave1y
and unquestioning1y. His great sad
ness seemed all for YOU" Brave,
true SOUL He is not lost. We shall
see him again, and our hearts shall
rejoice.

Joseph Hines to Get a Legacy
From His Mothers Estate
After Eighteen Years.
BOY TELLS STRANGE STORY
Mother Died Eighteen Years Ago, but
He Learned of it Only Last Week
Legacy Will Amount to $4,000.

Joseph Hines, a we'll known work.
ing man of the city who resides with
his wife on Pearl strest, has, received
a letter from solicitors in Albany,
N. Y, stating that he is to receive a
legacy which was left by his mother,
who has been dead for more than Is
years. The story told by Hines is de-
cided1y out of the ordinary, but this
fact will not in any way interfere
with his receiving the money, which
will amount to something over $1,000.
| Hines was born in one of the smaller
cities in Central New York, and when
he was mere boy he was adopted by
a family which moved to the West and
ultimately settled in Chicago. Hines
grew up knowing nothing of his par
entage, and he came to Kenosha sew
era1 years ago to work in one of the
factories here. Since that time he
has been married and has made a
home for himself and wife. Recently
he had started a chain of correspond
ence by which he hoped to secure
some of the history of his earlier life,
and the correspondence has been sue
cessfu1.
] Through the agency of an aunt,
Mrs. James Valiant, who is now resid-
ing in Albany, Hines managed to dis
cover that his mother had died at
Albany eighteen years ago, a short
time after he had left the East to come
to the West with his adopted parents.
At the time of the death of Hines
mother she was SO years Of age. The
woman had little property, and in
her last will and testament she direct
ed that the son who had been taken
West by adopted parents should be
found and the small estate paid over
to him. It was more than eighteen
years ago that this trust was imposed
on the Probate court in New Y ork,
and since that time efforts have been
made to find Hines. The old aunt re-
manned true to the trust imposed upon
her by the dying mother, and she has
sent letters to all parts Of the country
during the score of years in her effort
to find the missing son.
She finally located Hines by the
merest accident. and it was discovered
that he had been making every posi-
BILE effort to find his relatives in the
East. At the time of the death of the
mother the estate which was left to
the son amounted to but 500, but the
money has been carefully invested for
him by the officials of the court in
Albany, and now it amounts to little
over $1,000.
There will be no difficulties for
Hines to surmount, as it is claimed
that it will be an easy matter for him
to prove his right to the estate left by
the mother. Mr.. Hines has given the
attorneys in Albany power to settle
up the matter for him, and he will
probably go East in a short time to
claim the money due to him

Realistic RanQings.

A washington man has invented g.
contrivance for hanging people that is
Sufficiently realistic to scare the victim
to death, even though it does not break
his neck. My invention says the
originator Of the idea, relates to a bur.
lesque hanging machine, and is to be
used in initiatory work in secret organ
iZations, theaters and other places Of
public amusement, and is so con-
structed that the party supposed to be
hanged and operated on by this piece
of mechanism cannot be injured in the
slightest degree It is intended in Sc
cret organizations, further explains
the inventor, ito test the bravery and
fortitude Of the applicant and to test
his confidence in his friends, and in
theaters and other places of amuse-
ment to represent real hanging" The
Initiate before going to the scaffold
must don a specially prepared jacket
with weights and braces under the
arms, pads on the hips, and straps at
tached to the legs, designed to distrib-
ute the weight while the body is in the
air. The Jacket may be adjusted, the
inventor explains, while other cere-
monies are being conducted. Back of
the neck of the victim" a hook Is at
tached, to which is connected spiral
spring that is fastened to the rope. The
moose that is adjusted about the neck
Is connected to the rope only by a
small string, which will break easily
If the spring fails to hold. With black
cap pulled over his head, the victim Is
placed on trapdoor, which at the
proper moment is sprung by the exc
cut1oner on platform. The shock of
the fall of few feet is broken by a
set Of springs and weights concealed in
the posts Of the gallows. Of course
the victim does not know the mechan-
ism Of the machine, and Is likely to
take a solemn view Of the affair.
This ought to be boon to college so
cieties, for 1t would be an Improvement
over most forms Of hazing. 1t would
brighten one into gibbering idiocy with
out actually killing or manning him.
Perhaps it's very mildness, however,
would deter the hazers from using it.

TIE hunting season has hardly
commenced, and already the farmers
are beginning to complain, and with
good reason, of the depredations of
the hunters. They do not object to
the presence of hunting parties on
their lands so much on account of the
danger to themselves and their stock
from stray bullets, but on account of
the slaughter of the birds, which are
the farmers best friends. Some of
the alleged ''sportsmen" seem to
think that their one dollar hunting
license gives them perfect right to
shoot at anything that flies, and they
kill every bird they see. This annual
slaughter of the birds, many of which
live on insects which damage the
growing crops, will be a serious mat
ter for the farmers if it is kept up
many years longer, and there ought
to be some way to stop it.

Here Is the latest conundrum-at
least it purports to be the latest,
though 1t may be the revival Of very
ancient one: If two snakes Of the
same size and length should begin swal-
lowing each others tail at the same
moment and continue swallowing at
the same speed, what would be the
result? Would they keep On swallow
ing till both snakes vanished, or would
they wind up in the predicament Of
Bill Nye's dog that swallowed several
yards of whipcord only to find the
other end tied to stake? At any rate,
it is safe to say that the snakes would
soon get as much mixed as the man
will who tries to work out the prob
lem.

COUNTY SCHOOLS OPENING
District Schools of the County to Be in
Order by First Monday in October.

District Schools of the County to Be in
Order by First Monday in October.
The district schools of the county
are beginning to be opened for the
new year, and already three of the
schools are holding daily sessions. It
is expected that the greater number
of the schools will be opened on the
18th of September, but few will open
as late as the first Monday in October.
Superintendent Taylor and his corps
of teachers are being hampered by
the fact that the new buildings which
are under construction in several dis
tricts are still far from completion.
However, it is promised that all of the
buildings will be ready for the pupils
by the LIST of October.
Schools have already been opened
at Silver Lake and in Salem and So
mers, and the attendance at these
schools shows that the coming year
will be banner year for the district
school.

THE proposal of the fight promo
tiers, driven out of Chicago, to hold
''fstic exhibitions" in Kenosha, will
not be received with any great degree
of joy even by the local sports. In
the past, these athletic exhibitions
promoted by outside talent, have al
ways been fiat failures, financially
and every other way, and it is un-
likely that any Kenosha men will take
much stock in any such enterprise.
Furthermore, boxing exhibitions of
any kind have never been regarded
with favor by the Wisconsin authori-
ties, and it is unlikely that the boxing
game will be permitted to break into
the state by way of Kenosha.

said: "President Roosevelt has been
confronted with large and serious
questions. These he has met and
solved with high wisdom and cour-

in the Democratic platform find an
irrefutab1e answer in his splendid

YEAR WITH MASTERS
Leo Tectonius Will Leave for Home
Tomorrow.


Tomorrow.
Leo Tectonius, son of Mr.. E. c..
Tectonius, will sail from Liverpool
on his honeward voyage tomorrow,
after year of study in Berlin and
Paris with some of the worlds most
noted musicians. His studies alter
mated between the two foreign cities
named, and the masters of his chosen
art under whose guidance he worked
were Gernsheim and Widor in must
cal composition and Leopold Godow-
sky and Moszkowski in execution.
1t is believed he has gained much
from his foreign culture, as his OPP
portunities have been such as few
American students have enjoyed.
At New York ne will arrange for
the publication of some of his more
recent compositions, and on his west
ward journey will give a concert at
Warren, O. Later he will undoubt-
eddy open a studio in the west
Leo Tectonius was a former Keno
sha boy and his friends are proud of
his achievements. Though a young
man he has forged ahead and right
now is conceded by critics in this and
foreign countries to be in the front
rank with the really great players.
His old class and the music loving
people of this vicinity will no doubt
have an opportunity to hear him.
