A BOXING CARNIVAL
Some Fine Matches to be Pulled
off Next Friday Night at the
Rhode Opera House.
LOCAL FAvORITES TO APPEAR.

AS general rule a boxing exhibi-
ton, or for that matter an athletic ex-
hibition of any kind in charge of pro-
fessiona1s, is a good thing to keep
away from in Kenosha. Any old thing
is considered good enough for the
Kenosha sports and they have been
b1ed by the rankest kind of fakes
more often than they have been given
run for their money.
The boxing carnival, however,
which is scheduled to take place at
the Rhode opera house on the night
of Feb. II, promises to be an excep-
ton to the general rule. Good bouts
are scheduled in every class and at ali
weights and the standing of the men
behind the carnival is guarantee of
| square dealing.
There are four bouts scheduled, all
| of them to go six rounds to decision
and the management declares that
each and every one of them is on the
level. ]. Gauss is the manager of the
show and the mayor has issued a per-
nit for the carnival so there is no
danger of police interference. The
men who will take part are evenly
matched and some of them are clever
opponents of the manly art. The pre-
| 1iminary bouts are between Young"
Murphy of Racine, 118 pounds, and
Tommy Core of Kenosha, 120 pounds,
and between "Kid" Jackson of RAJ
cine, and Charles Williams of Chica-
go, at 124 pounds. The semi-windup
| is between Charles White of Racine,
and Young Stuetman Of Elgin,
both at 1873 pounds. The windup,
which promises to bring out pretty
go, is between Joe Montgomery at is
pounds and William Pagan at AS
pounds, both of Kenosha. Each of
these men has considerable follow
| ing in the city and match be-
tween them has been planned for a
long time. All Of the men scheduled
to take part in the carnival are in
active training and all of them ex-
pect to appear in the ring in first
class condition.

Railway Detectives Charge Two
LohIfing Boys With Throw
ing Brickbats at Trains
IS A HARD CASE TO HANDLE
Officials are Puzzled How to Dispose
of the Boys in Case They are Found
Guilty.-They May be Sent to
Reform School.

After week of investigation by the
detectives of the railroad, Chris.
Loh1fng,~ aged IS years, and E1vin
Loh1fng, his brother, aged 10 years,
we're arrested Friday afternoon and
brought to this city charged with
bombarding the passenger trains be-
tween this city and the state line on
last Saturday afternoon.
Every train that came out of the
city on last Saturday had one or more
windows broken by brickbats between
this city and Waukegan, and the rail-
way detectives charge that the two
Loh1fng boys are the ones who threw
the bricks. Undersherif Timme and
Detective William Jeffery, of the
North Western detective force, started
out after the boys early Friday morn
ing. The Loh1fng house is situated
so near the state line that on previous
occasions when the police have had
occasion to interview some of the diff
ferent members of the family the par
ties have skipped over into Illinois
and e1uded the officers However,
Undersheriff Timme is well acquaint-
ed with the lay of the land, and he
brought the boys in without any par
ticu1ar trouble.
For the last year or two the North
Western road has had any amount of
trouble all along its lines between
Chicago and Milwaukee from this
cause, and the officials of the road
have issued orders to the detective
force to put a stop to the lombard
ment of it's trains, even if it became
necessary to picket the whole road. A
Racine man was badly cut last Satur.
day by flying glass on the train that
leaves Chicago at O'Clock, and since
the stone throwing commemorate num-
Der of passengers have narrowly es
capped serious injury.
The officials are at loss to know
just what disposition to make of the
case. Both of the children appear
dense1y ignorant and do not act as il
they had ever been to school day II
their lives. The officials of the roa6
will naturally expect the justice te
deal severely with them if they are
proven guilty, but it would be worse
than useless to send them to jail, an6
the parents will probably refuse or be
unable to pay any fines for them. Il
is possible that way may be found tc
place the boys in an industrial school
where they can be educated ant
| taught some useful trade.

Jackson, one of the complainants, was
induced to take out policy. Other
customers, he said, were secured in
the same manner. He said it was
Lowell who suggested that the worth
less securities be used to secure credit.
He drew up the afidavits, he said, at
Lowe1ps request and turned them
over to Lowell.
IRON Saturdays Daily
w. K. Twomey, an attorney and
partner of Wallace A. Lowell, the for
mer partner of w. M. Cowell, of this
city, who is on trial for insurance
frauds, and against whom Cowe11
turned states evidence, was arrested
on order of Judge McEwen Friday
and ordered to appear before him
next Tuesday to show why he should
not be held for contempt Of court.
Twomey, it is charged, has been tam
pering with witnesses of the prosecu-
ton in the Lowell "wi1d cat" insur-
ance case by threatening to have
them jailed if they appeared and tes-
titled against Lowell. Mary Klein
smith, in an affidavit, said Twomey
and Lowell both approached her and
threatened her if she appeared in
court and testified against Lowell.
Further evidence of the frauds
charged to Lowell was offered Friday
in Judge McEwen's court by Walter
M. Cowe1l, former partner of Lowell.
He told of worthless stocks and Sc
curities and of fictitious financial
statements published in circulars for
the purpose of deceiving prospective
customers and to induce them to in
vest their money in the concerns.
Bundles of documents purporting to
be worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars we're produced by Detective
Clifton r. Woodbridge, who gathered
the evidence against Lowell. Each
item given in the financial statement
was said by CoWe11 to be fraud.
The circular also gave a list of
names of prominent persons as the
original underwriters. One, Fred M.
Frasher, was described as being con-
nected with the Frasher Foundry
company, Kenosha, Wis. Frasher is
said to be an iron mo1der. Similar
| cases were numerous.

Treasure In q Lake.

The search for lost treasure amount
ing to more than 100000 Of Mexican
silver, which is said to be lying at the
bottom Of Collins lake, in Leon coun-
ty, Texas, will soon be commenced. A
joint stock company, composed of a
number of business men Of Oakw0ods.
Tex, and other citizens of that Sec
ton, has been organized for the pur-
pose Of conducting the search for this
buried or hidden silver in a systematic
manner. The company will drain the
water from this lake by means of
powerful steam pumps The lake is
situated about fifteen miles south of
Oakwoods. It covers twenty five
acres of land and the water is i've to
twelve feet deep.

CURTIsS PRESENTS BILL.
Kenosha County Assemblyman Intro
duces School Book Bill at Madison.

duces School Book Bill at Madison.
Walker M. Curtiss the assemb1yman
from this county, has tackled a rather
weighty proposition as his first essay
in the legislature. The Kenosha
county man has introduced bill in
the legislature providing that the
state shall publish all text books used
IN the common schools and shall sell
them to the parents and children at
actual cost. The bill provides tat
the work Of publishing the books
shall be under the supervision of a
commission of three members which
shall appoint superintendent at a
salary of So, 500 a year.
An appropriation of 500, 900 to be
raised by the sale of bonds is carried
by the bill. Attorney Norman Baker
of Milwaukee, formerly superintend-
ent of the Kenosha schools, is said to
be the moving spirit behind the bill.
There is little prospect that the bill
will get beyond the committee stage
at least at this session of the 1egis-
1ature.

FAVoRs DUTCH TREAT"
Archbishop Messmer Is Opposed to
Treating in Saloons.

Archbishop Messmer Is Opposed to
Treating in Saloons.
Archbishop Messmer is opposed to
persons treating the drinks, but pre-
fers the old "German treat of each
man paying for his drink, and this
matter will be taken up by the arch
bishop with other leaders of the Cath
o1ic church. It is probable that action
will be taken by male members of
Catholic societies to refuse to accept
or tender treat of drinks.
Archbishop Messmer says:
AT the meeting of the National
Federation of Catholic societiesS in
New Orleans this summer, I intend
to introduce resolution authorizing
the state and county association to
take action regarding liquor ques-
tions. I am especially interested in
stopping treating. 1t is a bad Gus
tom. In 1892 at meeting of German
Catholics in Louisville introduced a
resolution against treating, and the
young mems society in connection
voted that they would neither give a
treat nor accept one.
"The Catholic church does not
teach that it is wrong to drink, if one
keeps within bounds. 1t is not wrong
even to take aTg1ass of whisky unless
the person knows that he is weak and
is likely to fall. Then total absti-
nence is a duty

POWER OF THE SENATE
Greatly Increased by Vote With
out Amendment Scheme.
TILLMAN MISSED IN CONGRESS.

III Health Keeps Him From His Seat
In the Senate - Public Documents
Stolen From the MaiIs-Gafnes and
Swanson.
Washington, Feb. 11.-[Special.1-
Legislation by a special rule from the
committee on rules which provides, as
it did in the case of the railroad rate
legislation, for vote without amend
ment is feature which aggrandizes
the senate and reduces the house in i'm
portance as a legislative body. 1t re-
suits practically in passing bill be-
fore there has been debate and Of
course makes the discussion post
norton. No one pays any attention to
the debate after the rule is adopted.
Nothing that any member of the house
says has any effect upon the bill. If
it is found defective or full of errors,
the corrections must be made in tho
senate. 1t seems absurd to debate
and consider a measure when the de-
bate cannot in any way alter or
amend it. Those who speak Of the in
creasing domination Of the senate
might do well to remember that the
senate affords an opportunity to i'm
prove bill which cannot be done
under the special order methods Of the
house.
Loss Of Public Documents.
There is an impression among many
members of congress that many public
documents Of a valuable kind are
stolen while in transit through the
mails. Representative DriscOll of New
York made that assertion on the floor
of the house and cited several instances
where some of the most valuable docu
ments mailed to his constituents had
never reached their destination. Com
plants Of this kind have been made
before, and in order to insure the safe
ty Of some publications provision has
been made for sending them as regis
tered matter. It is supposed that some
dishonest clerks, knowing when a valu-
able document is being sent under a
frank, pick it up, thinking that it's loss
can never be traced.
Have a Fellow Feeling.
Senator Teller in speaking on the
statehood bill voiced sentiment that
is not very well understood by those
who have never lived in territory. It
was that men living in territory have
a desire to take part in the large affairs
of the country, to vote for president,
lutte selection of their own officers and
to pass their own legislation. 1t is
this feeling that makes nearly every
man who was once in territory ia
vor the admission of new states.
TiIIman Is Missed.
No one has been missed SO much
about the senate as Senator Tillman
of South Carolina. Owing to i'll health
he has been unable to be in Washing
ton and was here only for short time
during the early part Of the session.
While he has been missed, he has also
been deprived of taking part in i'm
portant matters which would natural
" have been in his line. He Is the
senior minority member Of the commit
tee on interstate commerce, and doubt
less he would have been pleased to
take part In the meetings Of the COM
mittee which has been giving hearings
on the measure. TNlman will also

Gaines and Swanson.
Representative Gaines Of Tennessee
was vigorously opposed to the fast mail
subsidy for the southern states, while
Representative Swanson of Virginia
favored it as being in the interest Of
the south.
Here you are voting for this subsidy
again. said Gaines. ''You have always
been for it,
'Look here, Gaines,' replied Swan
son. s'I'll tell you what I'll do When
you stop voting subsidies for the i'm
provement of the Tennessee river will
stop voting for this special fast mail
service
Will Last Ali Summer.
81 am surprised that the friends Of
General Miles allowed this controversy
regarding the Stacking of Jefferson
Davis to be revived 2 remarked a south
ern member Of congress. TT will now
continue all summer and cannot but
revive unpleasant memories. I'll tell
you another thing: Those southern men
who opposed the committee amendment
which hit Miles as well as others on
the ground that it was aimed at Miles
will have quite a time explaining to
their southern constituents. Miles new
err was popular in the SOUTH and every
time the story of his treatment Of Da-
Wis is revived it results in increased
bitterness against him. This is one fea-
ture Of the civil war that is not easily
forgotten"
Held Up by Friends.
1t is rather surprising that friends of
certain bills do not realize that they can
often defeat such measures by continu-
GUS advocacy of them. During the past
few weeks men who have been urging
legislation to give the interstate COM
merce commission control over freight
rates have spent hour after hour be-
fore the committees stating and restat-
ing their positions and occupying time
which might be given to the considera-
ton Of the bill. The statesmen who
do not want any legislation at this time
are encouraging all this talk, for it
means delay. ARTHUR w. DUNN.
