AIDS LOCAL CHURCH
Mrs. Roosevelt Sends Greetings
to the Ladies Of Park Avenue
Church and Aids Work
MRS. ROOSEVELT AFINE COOK

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, wife of
the president of the United States
has sent letter of greeting to the
women of the Park Avenue M. E.
church, and has expressed her willing
ness to do little to aid the women in
their work of raising funds for the
erection of the new church. Mrs.
Roosevelt sent with her letter little
signed contribution to a book which
IS TO be issued by the ladies in the
very near future.
Some time ago the ladies Of the
church began the work of getting out
a cook book which was to contain the
favorite receipts of women of Keno
sha and other places. Wives of
distinguished men in all parts of the
country were asked to contribute
something for the book. The task of
writing to Mrs. Roosevelt was left to
Mrs. Bailey and she wrote a short
note asking for the favorite receipt of
| The wife of the president. In response
| to the note, letter was received from
Mrs. Roosevelt a few days ago. It was
"a personal letter in which the dis
Itinguished lady stated that it was a
pleasure for her to assist the ladies OF
1.-THE Kenosha church in this manner,
and she insisted that while she was
the Mistress of the White House, she
still took an interest in the general
/ art of home economy. In concluding
her letter she expressed the wish that
the book to be issued by the ladies
would receive the largest possible
patronage.
Il The receipt sent by Mrs. Roosevelt
has not been made public by the ladies
in charge of the publication of the
book and it will be kept star
lSecret until after the book is offered
l, for sale.

Long Fight for Trolley Connection
Between Kenosha and Chi
cago Ended tuesday
WORK MORE THAN A DECADE
No Ceremonies Mark the Laying of the
Final Link of the Long Trolley Line
and Celebration is to be Held
When Milwaukee is Reached

After struggle OF yearly ten years,
the final link of the trolley line be-
tween Kenosha and Chicago, was laid
late Tuesday afternoon and the two
cities are now connected with the
new hoop of steel. The opening Of
the line will not take place until
Saturday, and the big gang of work
men will be kept busy completing the
| work of ba11asting the line and getting
it in readiness for regular traffic. The
Chicago and Milwaukee company has
sent out its regular schedule and this
shows that cars will run every hour.
For years the several companies in
charge of the North shore traction
interests have been working toward
Kenosha. Panics and deaths among
/ the promoters of the line have re-
peatedly interferred with the work of
the builders and some time ago the
people had decided that the line would
not be bni1t for another ten years at
least.
1t was in the spring of 1896 that the
first work was done on the tracks of
the Chicago and Milwaukee road and
at that time small gang of workmen
started the work of grading the line
toward Chicago. Then came hard
times and they so interferred with the
work that the line was not completed
and all operations were suspended
until 1893, when the promoters again
got busy and work was started again.
Highland Park was reached that year
and year later the cars we're running
from Waukegan into Evanston. Then
came Dowie and when Dowie built his
city on the hill north of Waukegan,
| the electric railway men took up the
old project of building north of Wau-
kegan with the ultimate idea of
reaching Milwaukee.
Then came the deaths Of Alexander
Clarke and Volney Foster, two men
who had given almost their entire
energies to the completion of the line
and the work received another set
back. However other men took it up
and last year the work Of building to
Zion City was started. The line was
opened the first of last May and the
work was then pushed to the north
ward. The work has been greatly de-
layed on account Of the troubles OF
the managers in securing rights Of
way but these obstacles have finally
been overcome and the line is now a
reality.
/ The work to the north of Kenosha
as far as Milwaukee will probably
move faster as the promoters of the
interurban line have shown it will be
a paying proposition and there will be
no lack of funds for the completion Of
| the work.

LINE ALMOST COMPLETED


North-W Western Line West of City to
be Completed in Two Weeks
The new North Western road be-
tween Chicago and Bain station, west
of Kenosha, will be completed by the
contractors, Winston Bros, and Mac
Dougau by December IS, at the out
side. All of the grading will be done
next week, probably by December 8.
The contractors yet have ten miles
of track laying to do before the road
is done to Balm. This part of the
work, it is believed, will be done on
time.
The line will probably be put into
operation between Chicago and Balm
station as soon as the tracks are
down, for, at Balm, the connection
with the Galena division of the North
Western will be made and the new
line will thus be flushed to an inn
portant point.
The line through to Milwaukee is
to be finished some time next year,
the date not being fixed.
With the light percentage of curves
and grades on this line it is expected
that 80 per cent heavier traffic can be
hauled over the line than is now pos
sib1e on the old line.

SEASON AT AN END
kenosha Life Saving Crew to be
Mustered Out Of Service on
Thanksgiving Day Night
YEAR A QUIET ONE FOR CREW

These are closing days at the United
States Life Saving Station on Wash
ington Island and tonight the flag
will be hauled down for the last time
this season and at midnight tonight
the crew will be mustered out
of service for the winter. There will
be no ceremony in connection with
the closing of the station and most of
the members of the crew will leave at
once for their homes in different parts
of the country.
The year just closing has been one
devoid of any interest. The crew has
been called out less than a dozen
times and with the exception of the
rescue of a schooner and her crew
there has been little or nothing doing.
Of course the crew has been called
out for the usual number of trips into
the lake to rescue daring boys who
have attempted to sail in old tubs but
not a single life has been lost in any Of
these exhibitions.
The members of the crew have
c-oSASe~ IL 4NOON0AAuS Tic OOu1GS O1
five people either drowned in the
harbor or in the river north Of the
city and several vagrant boats have
been picked up off the Kenosha beach.
It is not thought that there will be
any change in the crew for next year
and the men all plan to return to
Kenosha with the opening Of new
season. While the station will be
practically closed until the first of
April there will be several Of the mem
bers of the crew in the city all the
winter and they will be ready to
answer any calls for help that may be
heard later in the winter season.
Captain Cameron will be in readiness
for call at all times. With the clos
ing Of the station the men will take a
rest Of about four months.
tits expected that the station will
be reprinted and redecorated before
the opening Of the new season.

SHE KISSEDA JUSTICE
Chicago Bride Turns the Joke on
Justice McCarron After Wed
ding Saturday Evening
He TURNS OVER A NEW LEAF

/ Justice George B. McCarron, who is
getting something Of reputation as
marrying justice, has turned over a
new leaf and has entered in his
docket a solemn declaration not to
joke with Chicago brides who may
come to him to wed in the future.
The cause for this change of mind
was the fact that one Chicago bride
gave the rather bashfu1 Justice of the
peace ringing kiss on last Saturday
night, and the dignity of the court is
still ruf1ed on account of the affair.
The kiss was the eliminating act of
pretty little wedding, at which the
Justice presided. William J. Wette
and Miss Elizabeth Babcock, of Chi
cago, had been friends for a long
time, and Wette was visiting with a
relative in the town of Paris, in this
ounty, while his sweetheart was Wis
iting in Racine. On Saturday after
noon Wette and his friend came to
Kenosha and he happened to meet the
judge and asked how long it would
take him to get married IN Kenosha.
The court informed him to produce
| the girl and he would see to it that
the ceremony was over in ten min
utes. The groom rushed over to the
telephone and called his sweetheart,
and the arrangements for the we'd
ding were made without further ar
gument. While the bride was on her
way from Racine the groom went to
the county judge and secured an or
der for the marriage, and when the
car arrived everything was in readi-
ness.
| The ceremony went off without
| hitch, and at the close of it the JUS
| tice noticed that the bride was ex-
ceeding1y comely and hestated with
crafty 1eer that it was usually Gus
tomary for the bride to kiss the pre-
siding officer at the wedding. She
didn't wait for any further invitation,
but desiring to live up to the law in
every way she rushed up and planted
a smack right on the lips of the court.
Then the bride and groom left for
Chicago.

John Molter Of Powers Lake, Asks
Divorce From Wife Who He
Alleges Deserted Him
ROMANCE WAS A SHORT ONE
Filed in the Circuit Court
Today Declares Husband Has
Sought Wife But Failed to Find
any Trace of Her for Years

After waiting ten years and more
for the wife who he alleges abandoned
him three days after the marriage
ceremony had been performed, John
Mo1ter, wealthy Chicago man hav-
ing summer home at Powers Lake,
in this county, this morning filed in
circuit court suit for an absolute
divorce from his wife Elizabeth L.
Mo1ter. The story of the case is an
unusual one as the woman, who is
stamped by the attorneys for Molter
as an adventures, has made no effort
to have the marriage decree set aside
nor has she made an effort to secure a
settlement with the man whose name
she bears.
According to the complaint Mo1ter
on June /, 1895, and on the fourth day
of the same month Mrs. Molter dis
appeared and since that time Molter
insists that he has not found any
trace of her. Several days after Mrs.
Motor deserted her husband, he re-
ceived letter supposed to have been
written by the women in which she
stated that she would never live with
him as his wife.
Mo1ter is a son of Mrs. Marie Mo1ter,
who owns several large tracts of land
in the neighborhood of Powers Lake,
and it is supposed that he will some
day be very wealthy man. He is
now resident of Chicago, as he
spends only the summer months on
Molter farm at Powers Lake. Mo1ter
is 40years of age and is we'll known
in Chicago.
It is stated that since Mrs. Mo1ter
left in 1895, lIo1ter has spent large
sums in attempting to find some trace
of the woman, but her disappearance
was as complete as if she had fallen
off the earth. Since he has engaged
an attorney to bring the action for
divorce the hunt for the woman has
been renewed, but without success.
It will be necessary for the attorneys
to publish notice of the divorce
action for long time before it can be
taken up in the courts.
| It is thought that the suit will come
up at the March term of the circuit
court. Mo1ter insists that there was
no reason for his wife leaving him
and he has never discovered the
reason for her action.
