LOST A HARD GAME
Kenosha Team Defeated by the
South Chicago Team Sunday
by q Score Of 5 to 4
ACCIDENT LOSES THE GAME

The Kenosha baseball team was de.
feated by the South Chicago team al
Breen's park on Sunday afternoon by
score of S to 4.
The winning of the game on the part
of the visitors was largely the result
of an accident, for in the eighth in.
ming Loebe1 in attempting to land a
high fly, which had been sent out by
SAKE, ran into the fence and was so
badly injured that before he conld re-
cover and field the ball SAKE had made
the circuit of the bases and another
man had preceded him. Loebe1 was
badly injured and he was in no way to
blame for the loss of the game. He
made great effort to get the ball,
and had he succeeded it would have
been ''grand stand play" of the first
water.
The game was one of the best seen
on the local diamond during the pres
ent season, but it was married by a
wrangle n the seventh inning which
took much of the life out of the con-
test. In this inning, with Kenosha
two behind, ball was thrown into
the diamond and one of the South
Chicago players threw it to the third
baseman who Immediately muffed it.
The Kenosha men on base proceeded
to score, when it was discovered that
the ball thrown was not the one in
play. The umpire generously allowed
the Kenosha players one run by the
false play.
Cumiskey was in the box for Keno
sha and he was wild. He struck out
but one man and gave FIVE bases on
balls. Brading, who pitched for the
South Chicago team, was even wilder,
giving eight bases on balls, but he
evened up little by striking out
eleven men. Kearney was the star of
the Kenosha batters, getting three
clean hits, and SAKE led the visitors
with home run and a two-bagger.
The South Chicago team started out
to win in the first inning and managed
to get in three runs. The Kenosha
team then settled down ami All Il
them until the eighth inning, when
the unfortunate accident to Loebe1
allowed them to bring in the winning
run. The score of the game follows:

WILL CARE FOR CHILDREN.
Humane Agent to Seek Home for the
Mischo Children.

Mischo Children.
Humane Society Agent ]. H. Karnes
is being kept pretty busy just at the
present time, and he has just been
asked to make some disposition of the
children of Mrs. Mary Mischo, a
woman who lives at the Washington
Home on the island.
Mrs. Mischo seems to be unable to
care for the children and report has
been brought to the agent stating
that they are being brought up under
the most vicious surroundings. 1t is
alleged that the children have been
allowed to steal and that they have
gone out begging with the knowledge
and consent of the mother. The
daughter of Mrs. Mischo, who is now
working in the city, has repeatedly
complained to Mr.. Karnes of the con-
dition of the children. An effort will
be made to have the children placed
in one of the homes under the direc-
ton of the state.

ELIMINATE CHARITY PHASE

A newspaper nowadays must get ad'
yertising on it's merits. Advertising
is no longer the shit or miss" game
it was, and if a paper is good one
and can bring results its advertising
department should solicit business on
the basis Of results alone. Time was
when a papers solicitors were given
business by merchants who gave It IN
the spirit of charity, "just to help the
paper along" or something OF that
sentiment. When the advertiser gave
the paper an ad he felt that he was
placing the publisher under ool1ga-
tons to him. But now all this should
be changed. Advertising is a neces-
sity to the merchant. He must adver-
tise or go out of business, and the
paper should teach the advertisers
that publicity is necessity. Then
when soliciting business make the
advertiser understand that he1s get
ting value received, and is surchas-
ing the papers space and its circula-
ton, and is not in any way obligating
the publisher to him-that it is bust
ness transaction, acknowledgements
paperdom.

HEADS AID
F. H. Head, of Chicago, Said to
Be Interested in Suit Ito
Discover Durkee Bonds
SUIT STARTED in NEW YORK

According to dispatches sent out
from New York, Franklin H. Head OF
Chicago, and formerly of Kenosha, is
interested in new suit that is being
brought in the Superior court Of New
York to make another inquiry into
the famous Durkee bond deal with
the United States government.
It is alleged in these dispatches
that Mr.. Head, who was the private
secretary of Senator Durkee and the
administrator of his estate, has admit
ted that the bonds we're at one time in
the possession of the late senator and
that some of them were sold after his
death. Mr.. Heads interest. it is said,
lies wholly in the fact that he was in
terested in many deals with Mr.. Dur
kee. The suit which is now brought
is against the Hartman interests in
the Union Pacific, and the amount in
question is $64, 100000. The new ver-
sion of the story is given by the New
York correspondent as follows:
'sDu-kee was member of congress
and a senator from Wisconsin" said
Col. Wood today. "About the time of
the construction of the Union Pacific
railway, he sought the appointment
to the governorship of Utah from
President Johnston and got it through
the Endorsement of Senator Morton
| of Indiana. In Utah he formed part
Inership in contractors supplies with
John w. Kerr & Co. The contractors
were to be paid for their work, half in
cash and half in bonds. Durkee took
the bonds and furnished supplies
when flour was $25 barrel and corn
So. so bushe1. In addition, subsidy
bonds to the amount of $4,000 for
leach mile of mountain road and So.
900 for desert road were paid by the
government, which bonds were later
taken over by the Credit Mobi1ier and
sold at As cents on the dollar.
"Durkee kept his first mortgage
bonds until he died in 1870. John
Dewesse testified that he had them in
his possession eighteen hours before
| he died. In the meantime, however,
Franklin H. Head of Chicago, his
private secretary, engineered deal
for the separation of his partnership
with Kerr and just before his death
Durkee's brother, Harvey Durkee,
was instructed to take the bonds and
give them to George I. Seney, presi-
dent of the Metropolitan bank of New
York. In 1878, as executor, Mr.. Head
disposed of some of these bonds for
$4,000. In 1884 Charles Fo1ger, sec
rotary of the treasury, called upon
the bank for the bonds. The bank
soon failed, having done business on
the bonds. On Jan. /, 1885, the gov
eminent charged itself up with the
$64, 200, 900 in bonds and later the first
mortgage bonds were turned over by
the treasury to d. O. Mills of the Cen
trail Pacific and w. 0. Cornish of the
Union Pacific"
| These transactions we're. it is
charged, fraudulent. The case will
come up in the District Supreme
court in October, when the demurrer
of Secretary Shaw and Treasurer
Roberts will be argued. 1t is predict.
ed that the litigation will again bring
berore congress the entire matter OF
the charters granted the Pacific rail
WAYS.

SCHI ! :EIl}g A BISHOP
Former Vicar General of MiIWau.
kee Diocese Consecrated as
Bishop of Superior
KENoSHA PRIESTS PRESENT

The highest honors within the gift
of the Catholic church marked the
conservation of the Rev. A. F. Schin-
ner as bishop of the newly created
diocese of Superior, the first priestly
son of the Milwaukee diocese who has
ever been advanced to. the high epis-
Icopal Office. When he gave his vows
at4St. John cathedral in Milwaukee
this morning the highest dignitaries
of the church this side of Rome were
represented among the witnesses,
and His Exce11ency, the Most Rev.
Diomede Falconio, of Washington,
d. D., apostolic delegate to America,
received his vows, conducted his ex-
animation, and blessed to their use
and conferred upon him the emb1ems
of his new dignity.
Besides the apostolic delegate three
archbishops, eight bishops, five vicar
generals, several secretaries and
chancel1ors, and between 300 and 400
Catholic priests from this and other
states were among the witnesses. In
the pews not occupied by the visiting
clergy, relatives of the bishop-e1ect,
sisters of the various orders connected
with the Catholic church, and repro
sentatives from the various Catholic
parishes of the city were interested
spectators of the impressive ceremony
which took place with great pomp be-
fore the flower banked and candle
lighted affairs.
The procese'~~ = ~-ergy which en-
tered the Cathedral just preceding the
conservation service was the most i'm
posing one of its kind ever seen in
Milwaukee, for every grade of pro-
motion in the gift of the church was
represented in its lines. The altar
boys, in whom the future priesthood
of the church is seen, the priests in
their cassocks, SUPPLIES, and bret
tas, the clergymen Of higher office,
and, finally, the pope's delegate in
this country, each in the rich robes
belonging to his Office, formed a pro-
cession of more than ordinary signif-
canoe and interest.

THE sympathies of a large per-
centage of the population OF the
United States are undoubtedly with
the Japanese in their struggle with
Russia; and where our hearts are, as
a general rule our confidence is. This
is the case with the present war, and
most of us figure that Japan Will
surely win. At the same time, if
Russia was so disposed, she could
continue the war indefinitely regard
less of the internal trouble and heavy
losses. The old saying that "money
makes the mare go'' is particularly
true in the great war game, and few
people are acquainted with the vast
financial resources of Russia. The
ability of Russia to finance her war
for long period has passed beyond
the pale of serious questioning. The
cost of the first fifteen months of con-
flict is estimated at $3.50, 600, 900, ex-
elusive of property losses in the vari-
Gus campaigns. So far the govern
ment has secured two foreign loans
amounting to $40O,OOO,OOO and a do
nestle loan of 500, 900. In addi-
ton to these sums Russia has a re-
serve of nearly $500, 900, besides a
"ho1y gold fund.-" consisting of gold
and Jewels in the churches, which
can be used in time of great national
need. The total resources of the gov
eminent have been variously est
mated from $1,000, 100000 to $4,000
100000. How great her draft upon
them will be remains to be seen, of
course, but the Russian people, as
whole, care less for the enol nous ex-
penditure of money than they do for
the useless continuance of the war.
The masses of the country know little
or nothing of national finances. The
fact that France has refused the Rus
sian government further loan has
no meaning to them. They only want
to be rid of the terrors of war.

NO EXTENSIONS ORDERED.

Bristol Telephone Company Takes no
Action on Proposed Extensions.
The Bristol Telephone Company
directors at their meeting at the Office
of the company in the village of Bris-

provide for new extensions of the
lines, nor did they make any arrange

It was thought that these matters
would be disposed of at this meeting,
but the directors took up only routine
work, and the other matters will be
taken up at another meeting later in
the summer. The reports of the Off
GERS showed the company to be in ex-
ce1lent condition.
