ACCORDING to William Travers Jerome,
a New York refOrmer, President Roose-
welt is more loved than Grant and
Lincoln. The President seems to have
unhinged some of his satellites during
his stay Tuesday on the east side of New
York. We are told that during an
exciting scene in Ephesus at the be-
ginning of the present era mob shouted
"Great is Diana of the Ephesians" for 8
space of two hours. At enc stage OF
the distemper over Mr.. Roosevelfs
appearance on the east side of New
York the crowd for some time cried
Teddy as first of everything" Among
other things uttered by Mr.. Jerome was
the following: president Roosevelt
will have Congress that will be with
him next time. They are not with him
now, but they will be. The next Con-
gress will be united and will override
the Senate"

the home of William Thomas, Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad engineer, at
Cameron, w. Va, and asked for some
thing to eat. Mrs. Thomas furnished
him with meal. He returned her
hospitality by an attempt to assault her.
A desperate struggle followed. Mrs.
Thomas screamed, and her husband,
who was sleeping upstairs, rushed down.
SEEKING chair, he brought it down on
Cakes head ieroely, and beat him
senseless. Neighbsrs rushing in, pre-
vented him from killing the stranger on
the spot. Mrs. Thomas's back was
sprainsd, one arm was broken, aud she
was scratched and bruised 10 dozen
places. She is frail woman, and is on
the verge of nervous collapse. The
town marshal and deputies hurriedly
rushed Cakes to the county seat, Mounds

came from Virginia few weeks ago.
He had been drinking. Previously he
entered the home of John Reese, and
Mrs. Reese frightened him by threaten
ing to call her husband. When Mrs.
Thomas made similar threat, he said
be could not be bufed twice that way.

Local Members Of the Royal Ar
canum Meet and Discuss
New Rate Ruling.
HIGH RATE OR NO INSURANCE
Hard Problem Faces the Older Mem.
bers of the Order and Many of
Them Threaten to Withdraw
From the Society.

There was stormy session of the
members of the Kenosha chapter of
the Royal Arcanum held at the hall
of the order Friday night, and it
seems apparent that many of the
older members of the Kenosha chap
ter will be forced to retire from the
society. There were several of the
older members present, and the mat
ter of the change in the rates of as
sessment was discussed at length.
The older members were led by
]. H. Charles, who has for years been
leader in Arcanum circles and who
has threatened openly to secede from
the society. No final action was
taken and all the members are still
on the roll, but it is certain that there
will be many lapses when the next
months dues become due.
The old members are Disguised
with the change that has been made,
and one of the leading members of
the local chapter, an officerl of the
highest rank, refused to attend the
session Friday night.
In speaking of the matter today
one of the old members said, eve are
between the devil and the deep, deep
sea. For the past twenty-five or
thirty years we old fellows have been
paying into the order, and in that
time some of Us have paid almost as
much as 81, 200. The change in rates
simply forces us to either give up our
insurance or pay rate that is almost
prohibitive. We are now so old that
it will be impossible for us toEget any
other insurance, and the rates will be
| so high that we can not pay them.
We who have been paying $48.6O a
year for $1,000 policies twill now be
obliged to pay four times this amount,
Of course the amount of the payments
will not be increased after we pass
the age of 65, but we will be forced to
pay this large amount until we die.
It is almost an impossibility."
The older members have consented
to take no final action until after a
meeting to be held at Racine next

In a sensational open letter g. w.

/ SERIOUS CHARGE
W. ]. Wilson Of This City Arrested
in Waukegan Charged With
Theft of a Motorcycle
FOUND MOTOR IN THE WOODS

William Wilson, who resides with
his wife and child at the south end of
Park avenue, was taken into custody
at Waukegan, ILL.,, late Thursday af-
ternoon and charged with grand lar
ceny. The arrest of Wilson was of
the sensational sort.
Nearly week ago motorcycle was
stolen from the Higgabotham repair
shop in Waukegan. The motorcycle
was valued at $500, and circulars were
sent to all surrounding cities asking
| that an effort be made to recover the
ma chine. On Wednesday afternoon
Wilson, who is now under arrest, went
to the Waukegan shop and told the
proprietor that he thought he could
tell him where he could find the motor.
He stated that he had found a motor
answering the description in woods
just north of Waukegan and had
brought it to Kenosha. He alleged
that the motorcycle had been found
Tuesday afternoon. Thursday after
noon Higgabotham decided to investi-
gate the story and came to Kenosha.
In order that there might be no slip
he secured the assistance of Sheriff
Vietch and Chief of Police Reinold,
and the three hunted up Wilson and
he took them to his home on Park ave-
nue.. The motorcycle was there all
Wilson show them where he had found
the machine, the officials took him to
Waukegan. They went to the bicycle
repair shop, and minute later a
Waukegan police officer flashed a war
rant for the arrest of Wilson, charg-
ing him with grand larceny. Wilson
was taken completely by surprise,
and loudly protested that he was in
nocent of having anything to do with
the disappearance of the machine.
Notwithstanding this fact, he was
hurried off to Jail and is'now awaiting
hearing on the charge. The officers
at Waukegan seem to take no stock iii
the story of the finding of the motor,
but they insist that Wilson stole it
and took it to Kenosha, but when he
found that he was certain to be cap
tured it is alleged that he decided to
give up the machine, and invented
this remarkable story in order to more
easily return it to the owner.
Wilson is an employee of the Thomas
B. Jeffery company, and has always
borne good reputation. His friends
in Kenosha stout1y affirm that he is
Innocent, and claim that he has told
the story Of the finding Of the ma
chine to them.
