Kenosha Soldier Who Saw Six Years
Service in Cuba and the Philippines
Returns to Kenosha.
LEFT ARM ON THE BATTLEFIELD
Hero of Many Exciting Slirmishes Leaves
the Battle Scenes and Comes Home
for Long FurlOugh.

Robert Brown, Kenosha man who
has seen more than six years service
in the United States army in the Phil
ippines, returned to Kenosha Tuesday
and is spending a long furlough at
the home Of friends at 684 Pearl street.
Brown has seen more service than any
man who ever lived in Kenosha as he
has been with the army for the past
six years. Brown opened his service
for his country as volunteer with the
breaking out of the war with Spain
and went with the army to Cuba. He
saw considerable service on the island
and then returned to this country and
enlisted as a regular. Since that time
he has been in the Philippine islands.
AS member of the army of peace
Brown has been in many skirmishes
such as the world never hears of, but
skirmishes that have cost the lives of
many of the brave soldier boys. The
marks of his long service are clearly
shown by the condition of the man.
One of his arms was left on the field of
battle after an exciting skirmish with
the revolutionists in the Philippines
and after he had been in the hospital
for long time he was again wounded,
being shot through the thigh.
Brown tells many interesting and ex-
citing stories of the life that the SOL
diers are leading in the new posses
sions and gives new insight into the
never ceasing conflict between the ma
tives and the United States soldiers.
The Kenosha man is completely dis
abled by his two wounds and it will be
impossible for him to return to the is
lands as either soldier or civilian.
With the coming of peace in the
island Brown sees a great chance for
the investment of American capital
and he insists that great fortunes can
be made on the island during the next
few years.
Americans are thronging the Phil
| ippines and the ancient customs of the
Spaniards erapidly being superseded
by American customs and American
methods of business. The cities are
entirely changed since the invasion of
the American armies AM American
ships of war and the Philippines will,
in few years, be one of the richest
possessions of the United States.
Brown will undoubtedly petition the
government for pension and it is
thought that there will be no trouble
in his securing sufficient to provide for
his maintenance as long as he lives,

THE PICTURE SHOW

E. B. Mcdowell made a favorable
presentation of his illustrated lecture
on ARIZONA Canon, Yosemite and
Alaska before large audience last
night when he gave the fourth num-
Der of the 7. M. G.. A. Lyceum course.
The lecture was crowded with infor-
nation of value to the traveller and
illustrated by some of the finest slides
ever seen here. After describing old
Santa Fe and the Pueblo Indians the
lecturer took his audience to the en-
trance Of the Great canon of the Colo
RADIO river. He explained the course
of the canon as not being worn away
by the water so much as by the up
heaval of surrounding lands in the
earth cooling process while the river
kept its level. The ride down the
canon trail one mile deep alongside the
steep precipice was told in a thrilling
manner.
Many new views were presented Of
Yosemite valley, the description of the
visit to the overhanging rock being
the most interesting. The motion
pictures of feeding time on the ostrich
and pigeon ranches we're loudly APP
plauded. The descent of the famous
White Pass of Alaska on the locomo-
tive pilot, and the miners descent of
White Horse Rapids in the Klondyke
almost made the blood run cold.
The Alaskan glacier pictures, were
gems of beauty, the coloring Of the
varying frozen masses and the soft
cloud aspect surprising description.
The lecturer described in closing the
sensation of spending July 4th on the
ship at the glacier base, surrounded
by falling icebergs. Instead of powder
explosions there we're the deafening
sounds of the tremendous icebergs AGO
feet high cracking off from the main
glacier and tumbling head1ong into
the ocean.
The glacier was described as being
400 feet above water, 900 feet below
and travelling 60 feet day, many of
the breaking off icebergs being three
times larger than the largest ships. In
making the steamboat trip to Alaska
about 800 glaciers were passed.
DR.. Mcdowell has pleasing deliv-
cry, a clear, sympathetic voice and a
| splendid ability of description.

Judge SIossOn Forwards to Judge Ma,
in Washington the Papers in the
Estate OF Famous Senator.
NO INDICATION OF NEW METHOD
We'll Known Washington Judge Finally
Takes up the Fight for Alleged Stolen
Fortune of Kenosha Man.

After great many preliminary
skirmishes the old fight for the Dur.
kee millions has gotten back into the
courts again, and Judge Slosson of
the County Court this morning for
warded to Judge May az Washington
city the documents connected with the
settlement of the estate Of the late
Charles Durkee in this county. AS
soon as these documents have been
filed Judge May will ask for the ap.
pointment of an administrator de
bonis non at the National capitol for
the purpose of properly bringing a
suit in the United States court
The papers as sent by the Kenosha
Judge seem to give little ground on
which to begin an action against the
government, as on the face of them
they show that the estate was fully
settled in 1882, and that at that time
the missing railway bonds, which have
formed the basis of the mythical
claim, were in no way listed in the in
ventory of the estate of the late Sena-
tor Durkee. The final judgment in the
matter was written by the late Judge
Edward Martin, and it is of great in
terest.
In this judgment Judge Martin took
up the matter of the settlement of the
estate and removed any claim against
the executors of the will for damages.
Mrs. Durkee had at one time claimed
that the trusts imposed on the execu-
tors by her husband had not been
properly carried out, but in this final
judgment Judge Martin enjoined Mrs.
Durkee from making any further
claims against the executors. In the
final judgment the estate of Senator
Durkee is shown to have been valued
at $56,947. Much of the estate was
personal property, the only real estate
mentioned being a farm of twenty
acres near San Diego, Cal. and the
homestead in Kenosha. All of the
property is shown to have been ac-
counted for.
Judge Slosson in sending the docu-
ments to Washington stated that he
had no faith in the claim, but that if
the Washington men desired to open
the claim he had no course except to
provide them with the copies of the
Kenosha court records. The develop
ment of the case in the East will be
watched with interest in Kenosha.

Sickness steals more savings than the
burglar. Slowly, coin by coin, the
money that has been so hardly earned
is paid out for drugs and doctors. Sick
ness is the worst enemy of the working

stomach often involving the heart, lungs,

ELECT NEW TRUSTEES
Park Avenue M. e. Church Fills Vacancies
In Governing Body

Park Avenue MI. e. Church Fills Vacancies
In Governing Body
The Stewards and Trustees of the
Park Avenue M. f.. Church with their
wives were entertained at dinner at
the parsonage of the church by the
Rev. w. W. Stevens and Mrs. Stevens
Tuesday evening. Covers were laid
for twenty-six and a delicious repast
was served to the assembled guests.
Rev. ]. F. Lean, Presiding Elder Of
the district was present at the dinner
and after an hour had been spent in
social converse business meeting of
the stewards and trustees of the church
was held to take action to fill the va
cancies in the governing bodies of the
church caused by the deaths of the late
w. W. and G. F. Cooper. E. L. Grant
was elected chairman of the Board of
Stewards to succeed the late w. w.
Cooper and Henry S. Cooper was
transferred from the Board of Stew
ards to the Board of Trustees succeed
ing the late G. r. Cooper as chairman
of that body. Robert Symmonds and
David Pedley we're elected to fill the
vacancies in the Board of Stewards
and r. L. Shippee and H. d. Kamp
were elected Trustees. The meeting
appointed a committee consisting of
the Rev. w. w. Stevens pastor of the
church, E. L. Grant, H. D. Ramp, O..
A. Mcneil and j. r. Proctor to devise
ways and means for raising fund for
the erection of new church building
for the society. The work of raising a
building fund will be taken up by this
committee at once and forwarded by
every possible means and it is hoped
that the fund will be large enough to
warrant the starting of the new build
ing, which is so much needed, by next
fail at the latest. The members of the
Park Avenue church have been dis
cussing the advisab i1ity of erecting a
new church edi6ce for some time as
the present church is entirely too
small to accommodate the largely in
creased membership Of the church and
the Stewards and Trustees were unani-
mously of the opinion that the time
has come when the church must be
built.

MYSTERY DEEPENS.
Letter From Lind, WASH States that Nj. G.
Berries Had Left There with $1,000.

Berries Had Left There With $1,000
The mystery connected with the dis
appearance of Mat C. Berres of this
city, who left Lind, Wash, two months
ago to return to Kenosha, has been
deepened by the receipt of a letter from
]. d. Mcneil of the Washington city.
Mcneil had transacted the business
connected with the sale of the Berries
farm and he states that Berries left
Lind for Kenosha at the time he wrote
to his wife that he was on the home
ward journey. At the time ne left
Washington Berries had sixteen humid
red dollars in his pockets. Six humid
red dollars was in cash and the re-
mainder in negotiable paper.
In the two months that have elapsed
none of Berries friends in Kenosha
have received single word from him
and the theory that he has met with
foul play is now being held by nearly
all his friends here.

mothers love for her boy recently
at Denver, Colorado. Eustace Nc

of gasoline. He was burned on the
arms and face, and the physicians
agreed that to save his life it was
necessary to graft human skin to
I'VE the burned surfaces. The moth
er, Mrs. M. C. McGrath, sacrificed her
self for her child and eighty square
