Another Mystery on Foot,
DRUNK; SLEPT IN CHURCH,
Beloit Edifce Found to Have Been I'm
tremendously Entered by Beet
Sugar Worker.

BELOIT, Wis, Oct. 21.-[Special. J.
The effects Of whisky on the human or.
ganism are many and devious. Charles
Myers slept. It is not known whether
he went into the church to engage IN
solemn contemplation or to repent.
1t was at about 2:3O p. m. when Chief
Scheibel Of the police department re-
ceived q call to st. PauFs church in
West Grand avenue. When he arrived
there he found number Of the members
Of the Daughters Of the Church and 9th.
ers, all considerably frightened and IL.
censed over the unwarranted presence
Of a man-and an intoxicated man al
that-stretched out On a table in the
church annex, his feet ensconced on a
lofty window sash, and consciousness
lost.
This was a singular situation. The
chief had frequently seen men asleep in
church, but never before had he been
called upon to remove one. But he
didn't hesitate long in the case of Mr..
Myers. That gentleman was soon given
a chance at the outside air and then was
marched double-quick to the bastile.
He was brought before Judge Booth
and asked to explain his erratic system
of church attendance Myers said that
he had been in Beloit only short time
and that until recently he had been en-
gagged in extracting sugar beets. The
money he had thus acquired had gone
for a. considerable quantity of ,Beloit
"sosh," and his intrusion into the church,
the door of which the janitor had left
open for the ladies' meeting in the after
noon, resulted. Unable to pay his fine
Myers was taken to GAINESVILLE, where
he will spend five days.

M'CARTY NOT IN RIVER.
Kaukauna Police Drag Fox, but Fail to
Get New Clue for Kabat
Case

KAUKAUNA, Wis, Oct 2O.-[Spe-
cial. l-Police have dragged the Fox riv-
er from end to end in this vicinity, but
have found no explanation for the Nc
Carly mystery, in connection with which
W. E. Kabat is in Jail at Appleton.
GREEN BAY, Wis, Oct. 20.-[Spe-
cial. Louis Root, night clerk at the
Beaumont house, is to be one of the
states principal witnesses in the prosecu-
ton of Wenzel e. Kabat. The clerk S
story is that some weeks before the dis
appearance of McCarty Root was ap-
proa ched by Kabat with a proposition to
become a party to a scheme that was
promised to bring large property re-
turns. Names were not mentioned in
the cow ersation, it is said, and murder
was not limited at. Root declined and
after Kabat's arrest divulged the story
to the authorities.
As part of a third" degree operation
on Kabat the authorities recently
brought Root and Kabat face to face.
The meeting, however, had no notice
able effect on Kabat.
Krippner & Kaye, the west side tail
ors, may figure in the trial as witnesses.
The firm made a suit of clothes for
Kabat shortly before his arrest and the
tailors may be called to the stand to tell
of some vague remarks their customer
made during visits to the store. kabat
paid for the suit, but was arrested be-
fore he took it from the store.

CIVIL SERVICE IN LINE
Examinations for 1850 of the People En-.
ployed by the State Will Begin
December I.

MADISON, Wis, Oct 20.-[Special.]
The state civil service examinations
will begin about December 1. AS near
as can now be estimated 1850 people
will come within the operation of this
system. Of this number over $50 are in
some manner connected with the state
capitol. Some are game wardens and
oil inspectors; 200 others are employed
about the state university, and nearly
700 are now under the supervision Of
the state board of control. The system
of classifying the different positions is
similar in its general respects to the
system, employed by the New York COM
mission.
In the state board of assessment the
secretary, G. w. Francis and Miss
Bertha Moritz are exempt, while the
