STATISTICS OF CRIME.
Annual Report Of the Clerk Of the
Circuit Court Shows Crimes
Are Few in kenosha.
ONLY TWO CASES PENDING.
Only Sixteen Cases of Criminal Ma
ture We're Filed During the Past
Year and None of Them Went to
a Jury-Twelve Plead Guilty.

Kenosha is growing better. This
fact is shown by the annual report of
the clerk of the Circuit court, which
was forwarded to the secretary of
state today and which contains a
complete report of all the criminal
cases tried or brought in the county
during the twelve months just ended.
The report shows that during the
entire year there were but sixteen
cases of criminal nature brought to
the notice of the Circuit court, and all
of these save two were disposed of
before the end of the year.
There were no charges of murder
or homicide. Fifteen of the charges
brought were for fe1onies and one for
less than a felony.
The report shows that of the sixteen
defendants held to the Circuit court
during theyear twelve Of them pleaded
guilty and are now paying the penalty
for their crimes. Many of these men
were arraigned in the County court
on their own petition and the cases
were disposed of with a minimum
of expense. Not single case was
tried by jury. A jury was called to
hear the charges against Former
Alderman Caster, but before the mat
ter had chance to be submitted to
the jurors Caster withdrew his plea Of
"Not Guilty" and entered a plea of
"Gui1ty' and was sentenced by the
county judge. This sentence was the
most important matter of the year in
| the criminal court, and the other
cases in which defendants were
sentenced we're of a very petty nature.
The report shows that one woman,
Alice Woods, who was held on
charge of adultery, was not brought
to trial as she forfeited her bail bond
of $500 to the county and has not been
heard from since that time.
Of the other three cases not dis
posed of by a plea of guilty one was
dismissed at the order of the district
attorney, while the other two are still
pending.
The two cases pending are the cases
against Frank S. Komp, charged with
violating the state banking laws, and
Andrew Anderson, charged with
statutory offense. The latter case
will probably be no11ed at the next
term of the court.
The Komp case is scheduled to come
up for trial at the March term, and it
will probably be disposed of at that
time.

PLAN Is DELAYED
Division Of the Milwaukee Arch
Diocese May Not be Made
for Some Time Yet.
VATICAN ASKS MORE DETAILS

The decision of the Catholic author
tiles at Rome regarding the redivision
of the archdiocese of Milwaukee and
the establishment of the new SUI
perior diocese, which is desired by
the bishops of the province, has been
delayed until further information is
received by the congregation of the
propaganda, which has charge Of
ecclesiastical affairs in this country.
Archbishop S. G. Messmer has re-
Diomede Fa1conio, the apostolic dele
gate at Washington, d. c., containing
this information and list of ques-
tions suggesting the line of additional
details required.
s"This means long delay, and do
not believe a decision will be reached
before next fall" said Archbishop
Messmer. cit is cutie disappointing
especially as | had thought I sent
everything that they could possibly
want to know. Now shall be COM
PEELED to study up statistics and get
ready to answer the whole page of
questions which have been sent to
me-"
Archbishop Messmer will officiate at
the profession of vows at the convent
of the Sisters of Mercy on National
avenue, Milwaukee, Saturday morn
ing, and in the afternoon he will leave
for Amigo, Wis, where he will attend
the annual state convention of the
Society of Bohemian Catholics in
Wisconsin, which will be in session
on Sunday and Monday.
Owing to the fact that ST. Francis
day falls on Sunday this year, the
annual meeting of st. Francis semi
nary probably will be held Jan. 81, the
Tuesday following the festival day of
the seminary's patron saint. The
questions of the extension of the
course of study and of the erection of
a new library building are the most
important items of business to come
before the council, and it is probable
that the subject of securing a sue
cessor to the Rev. Father Se1inger,
who resigned early last summer to ac-
cept the pastorate Of the church at
Jefferson City, Mo-, will be discussed.

]. W. DoWd Milk Company. Of
Chicago, to Purchase the Wells
Farm in Pleasant Prairie.
TO OPERATE AS MODEL DAIRY
Deal Is Being Closed by Which the Chi
cas.o Company Will Take Control of
the Farm at Cost of More Than
$4,000 Is Noted Place.

One of the largest transfers of
realty known in many years in Keno
sha is being concluded today and by
the deal the Daniel Wells farm in the
town of Pleasant Prairie will be sold
to the J. w. Dowd Milk company, Of
Chicago. The price is placed at $780,
600, and the new owner is to take
possession of the property on April l.
The farm in question is rated as one
of the best dairy farms in the state.
It is situated about eight miles from
Kenosha and it consists of 800 acres
of land. The deal includes the stock
and the farming implements, SO that
the price paid for the land will be a
little less than 500 an acre.
J. w. Dowd is in control of one Of
cago, and the company already has
several large farms in Illinois and
Wisconsin from which it draws it's
milk supply. The Wells farm is stu
ated sp1endid1y for this purpose, the
railway running within few miles of
the farm. The new owners of the
property are planning to convert the
farm into model dairy, and the milk
from the farm will be extensively adj
vertised in Chicago and the outlying
suburbs. The milk from the Wells
farm has long been in demand in
Chicago, so that the work of advertis-
ing it will not be great.
It is said that several of the larger
milk firms in Chicago are considering
the purchase of property in this
county. For some time it has been
exceedingly hard for the milk dealers
to secure milk enough to supply their
trade. The farmers have lost so often
through the trickery of the Chicago
dealers that many of them in this and
the surrounding states have refused
to sell the milk in Chicago, preferring
to send it to creameries in the neigh
borhood and selling it at a lower rate
than was offered in Chicago. On this
account the big Chicago companies
have been forced to have milk
shipped in from Iowa, and even from
Missouri in order to supply the de-
mand. With the large Wells farm in
it's possession, the Dowd company will
be in a position to laugh at the far
mers, as it is sufficiently large to care
for cattle enough to furnish the en-
tire supply of milk demanded by the
company.

ASSAULT M. f. BARBER
Two Unknown Italians Attack a
Former Chief of Police
Wednesday Night
ARE GIVEN A GOOD DRUBBING

Marshall F. Barber, formerly chief
of the police force of the city, and
now one of the officials of the Citizens
Telephone and Telegraph company,
was the victim of an assault by two
unknown Italians shortly after 6
o'clock Wednesday evening. The
men attacked Mr.. Barber on Market
street near the English meat market,
and while the attack came without
warning the former head of the police
department gave the mem sound
trouncing and they were fortunate to
get away without being captured and
landed in jail.
There is something of mystery in
connection with the assault and it is
thought possible that Barber was
mistaken for some one else for whom
the men had been laying in wait.
Mr.. Barber had started to go to his
home in the Western part of the city
and he had his coat up about his ears
so that it would have been impossible
for him to be recognized. He noticed
the two Italians standing near the
meat market and as he suspected
nothing he paid no attention to them.
Just as he passed the two men
separated, and one of them was on
each side of Barber.
AS he walked on, the men made
concerted assault striking the former
official over the head with their din
ner buckets. Mr.. Barber turned and
at once gave battle. He landed right
and left on the Italians and after
short battle in which everything was
in favor of Barber, the two men took
to their heels. They escaped in the
storm and darkness. Barber was not
injured save that one of his hands
was badly bruised up.

NO TRACE OF GETTINGER.
Friends of Missing Kenoshan Fail to
Find Any Trace of Him.


Norman Nay1or, who has been in
the northern part of the state for the
last week seeking to find some trace
of John w. Gettinger, who has been
missing for nearly month, returned
home Wednesday night and reported
to the relatives of the missing man
that Gettinger could not be located.
Mayor found that Gettinger had
drawn all the money that was coming
to him in Ripon and had gone from
there to Grand Rapids. Gettinger
had been in Grand Rapids, but after
he left there no trace of him could be
found.
%he members of Gettinger's family
are still of the opinion that he has
met with foul play.

SHOT CAUSES DEATH.
Miss MurieI Byram, at One Time
a Kemper Hall Student !.
is Accidentally Killed
GIRL WAS CLEANING A RIFLE.

Miss Murie1 Byram, a former stu
dent of Kemper Hall, was instantly
killed in her home, 2o09 Michigan
avenue, Chicago, at noon Wednesday
by the accidental discharge of Win
chester rifle which she had intended
to clean. Without warning, with no
one near, tragedy snuhed out the life
of one of the most beautiful, accom-
p1ished and popular young women in
Chicago's social circles.
It was during preparations for a
hunting trip in the mountains of the
southwest with members Of her fam
lily that the shocking accident oc-
Cured. Looking forward to her de-
parture the coming Sunday with a
light heart and mood that brought
songs to her lips, Miss Byram, who
was accustomed to the use of firearms,
began to overhaul the guns which the
party intended to take. She entered
the gunroom, which was also used as
te1ephone-room, on the first floor of
the Byram residence, late in the
morning, asked a servant for towel,
and started to work.
She rubbed the dust off a rifle, pol
ished the barrels of shotgun, and
then took up Winchester repeater.
No one will ever know how the trig-
ger was snapped, whether it caught
in her dress, or whether she moved it
with her fingers, unconscious that
cartridge was in place.
A muf1ed report and heavy fall
brought her relatives, GREATNESS with
fear, to her side. Miss Byram lay
with the rifle under her. She had
pitched forward, and death is believed
to have come before she reached the
floor. The bullet, driving upward
from the barrel which she held in her
arms, had pierced the throat, and
finally lodged in the brain. Her neck
was b1ackened with powder stains,
showing that the muzz1e had been
close to her chin when the accident
occurred.
Margaret Cunne11, servant,
reached Miss Byram first. Finding
her motion1ess, with blood pouring
from the wound in her throat, she
called for Mrs. C. C. Burnes, Miss By
rams sister, and Miss Marjorie
Burnes, her niece, and most intimate
friends. But these two we're even
then hurrying down the stairway. At
the report, her mother had been
stricken with an intuition of the dis
aster, and when the news was brought
to her was already overwhelmed with
grief.
Miss Byram was formerly a student
at Kemper Hall in this city, and DUR
ing the year that she was student at
the hall she became acquainted with
many of the young people of Keno
sha. Her death came as sad shock
to her acquaintance in the city.

prizes as are open to his successful
brother in Germany, England, or
France, where the rewards paid for
first-class scholarly achievement are
as much above those paid in this
country as our rewards for flrst-class
achievement in industry or law are
above those paid abroad.
But of course what counts inf
nitely more than any possible outside
reward is the spirit of the worker
himself. The prime need is to instill
into the minds of the scholars them
selves a true appreciation of real as
distinguished from sham success.
In productive scholarship, in the
scholarship which adds by its work
to the sum of substantial achieve
ment with which the country is to be
credited, it is only first-class work
that counts. In this field the small
est amount of really first-class work
is worth all the second-class work
that can possibly be produced; and
to have done sucn work is in itself
the fullest and amplest reward to the
man producing it.
We outsiders should according to
our ability aid him in every way to
produce it. Yet all that we can do is
but little compared to what he him
self can and must do. The spirit
of the scholar is the vital factor in
the productive scholarship of the
country.
Macaulay, whose eminently sane
and wholesome spirit revolted not
only at weakness, but at the censorl-
Gus folly which masquerades as virtue,
describes the condition of Scotland at
the end of the nth century in a pas
sage which every sincere reformer
should keep constantly before him.
1T is a remarkable circumstance
that the same country should have
produced in the same age the most
wonderful specimens of both extremes
of human nature. Even in things in
different the Scotch Puritan would
hear of no compromise; and he was
but to ready to consider all who rec
commended prudence and charity as
traitors to the cause of truth. On the
other hand, the Scotchmen of that
generation who made a figure in par
Lament were the most dishonest and
unbushing time-servers that the
world has ever seen. Perhaps it is
natural that the most callous and
impudent vice should be found in the
near neighborhood of unreasonable
and impracticable virtue. Where en-
thusiasts are ready to destroy or be
destroyed for trifles magnified into
Importance by a squeamish conscience

The men who go out from Harvard
into the great world of American life
bear heavy burden of responsible

their gratitude to their alma mater is
by doing their full duty to the ma

resolve to work for what is best and
most ennobling with the no less reso-
Lutte purpose to do their work in such
fashion that when the end of their
days comes they shall feel that they
have actually achieved results and
not merely talked of achieving them.

Baker City, June 2S.--(SpeciaN---
Attorney Johns, who defended Roy
Miller, cashier of the defunct Bank of
Sumpter, who was found guilty of
having defrauded the depositors of
that institution, sprung a sensation in
court this morning when he asked
that the verdict of guilty be set aside
on the grounds that the entire jury
examined set of bank boks not ad-
mitted in evidence before returning
their verdict.
1t is alleged by attorneys for Miller
that the entire set of books belonging
to the bank was lying on a table in
the court room and that while the
court was at lunch all the members of
the jury took liberty to examine the
books which had not been admitted in
evidence and that this act preiudiced
their verdict.
A motion asking that the verdict he
set aside was made this morning and
an answer will be given to the motion
on Friday morning.
