Good Business.

A writer who spends his summers
ut the seashore tells the following
story: An ignorant countryNan who
saw the sea for the first time was
much impressed with the effect Of the
blue water and asked a fisherman If
he could tell him the owner, as he
would like to buy gallon to take
home to his wife. The fisherman re-
piled, proudly:
"Us, me man-we own itv'
"Land sakesv' exclaimed the rustic,
"CouId you sell me gallon for so
centsY'
'Sure," said the fisherman; and he
disappeared, returning in few mo-
Ments with jar of water, for which
he received the countryman's 80
cents.
The latter departed with his pur-
chase. Returning later in the day, aft
er the tide had gone out, he gazed in
silent wonder at the water, which had
reached for from the beach.
Hummer he exclaimed, 'don't they
do trade "-Harper's Weekly.

WORK NIGHTAND DAY
Chicago and Milwaukee Company
Erect Lighting System to Push
Work South Of Kenosha
TO START LOCAL LINE SOON

President Frost of the Chicago &
Milwaukee Railway company is put
ting up strenuous efforts to carry out
his promise of having cars running
to the limits of Kenosha by the first
day of December and in order to
do this most, extraordinary methods
are being employed. On last Monday
a night shift was put to work on the
road bed and the work is now pro-
ceeding by night as we'll as by day.
In order to keep the men at work dur
ing the night President Frost and his
men have stretched line of arc
lights from Zion City north so that
the entire right of way is to be lighted
up so that work cannot be stopped.
Nearly half of the work is now com
pleted and with the great gang of
men the work should be completed
as fara ass Kenosha by the mid
die of November at the latest. This
would give the company ample time
to wire the system and arrange to
start the cars on December 1st.
President Arnold of the Kenosha
Electric Railway Company and Presi-
dent Frost had a conference in Chi
cago yesterday at which time the
plans for the local line to unite with
the Chicago and Milwaukee was
taken up. Manager Russell has been
notified that the company will start
this line within a few days and he
will be ready as soon as the final
plans have been completed and turned
over to him. The only thing that
President Arnold is waiting for is the
decision on the location of the depot
of the road from the South and as
soon as this is definitely determined
the local line will be started.

Main Street Merchant Admits His
Guilt in Connection With
the Regh Conspiracy
JUDGE PLACES FINE AT $3.50
Stern Goes on the Stand and Makes
a Statement in Which He Declares
Others That Were arrested Had
gainst Him

The last chapter in the conspiracy
to remove Li1lian.Davis, witness IN
the Regh granddaughter case, was
written this morning when Jacob
Stern, theRproprietor of the New York
Leader store, appeared in court and
asked leave to withdraw the motion of
his attorneysSfor continuance Of the
case and entered plea of guilty to
the charges against him. In making
the p1ea.BStern took the stand and
gave the:court a.full story of the eff
fort madel to secure the absence of
Mrs. DavisSfrom Wisconsin.
Under hissp1ea Of guilty Stern was
fined $250land one-third the costs of
the action. The fine and costs will be
paid thisssafternoon and the case will
be ended.
For anIhoursbefore Stern went be-
fore thescourt theImatter was discus
sed by the court Eand attorneys in the
case. It was stated that the condition
be impossiblesfor Stern to go to trial.
Mrs. Sternsis suffering from nervous
prostration'sproduced by the worry
over the trial and the attorneys stated
that a 1ong...continuance of the case
might resultsein .sthe death of the
woman. 1t was on sthis account that
Stern decided to plead to the charges.
In his statement of the case to the
court Sternsto1d the entire story of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that he had
been the one to Suggest the removal
of Mrs. Davis. E He stated that he had
repeatedly refused to have anything
to do with the conspiracy until he
finally consented to take Bernstein to
the home ofs.Mrs. 'Regh. He stated
that after the Carrest of Mrs. Regh
and Bernstein he had been informed
that theyEhad .gplanned to saddle the
entire blame of the conspiracy on
him.
The attorneys for Stern made no
plea IN his behalf, but District At
torney Baker addressed the court and
stated that he had no desire to seem
vindictive against Stern and that he
would not task for the imposition of
the heaviest sentence under.t the law.
In sentencing Stern Judge Be1den
spoke at length on the seriousness of
the crime of conspiring to remove a
witness from the state and asked that
the matter be given the widest public
ity in order that all people in his
jurisdiction might understand that
this was one of the most serious
crimes under the statute.

It's Now I'm to Kansas.

A corn year in Missouri means

A few nights ago high wind blew
down one of the stalks across the

Of the through train approaching dis

Local Council of the Yeomen of
America Decide to Stay With
the Aurora Faction
NO MEMBERS TO BE DROPPED
Clerk is Instructed to Reinstate All
Members Who Were in Good Stand
ing on June 1 and to Forward
All Dues to Aurora

The local council of the Yeomeu of
America burned all the bridges be-
hind them Thursday night and de-
cided by unanimous vote to stick to
the Aurora organization. In order to
make this action final the clerk of the
local council was instructed to send
the dues of all members of the order
IN Kenosha to the treasurer of the
Yeomen of America at Aurora, ILL., 1t
is stated by the members of the local
board of officers that not a single
member will desert under this ruling,
and that the few members who IA
vored joining the American Guild
under the plans of ama1gamation
have all signifed their intention to
abide by the orders of the local
council.
The meeting Thursday night was
one of the most largely attended ever
held by the local council. Vice Presi-
dent c. D. Judd, of Aurora, was the
guest of honor, and he made a long
address, in which he explained the
present condition of the order Vice
President Judd stated that he had
drawn the resolution which provided
for the ama1gamation with the Amer
lean Guild, but that he had taken this
action simply to bring the matter be-
fore the Grand Council, and that when
1T was put to a vote he had voted
against it. He stated that already
000 m et11 hers Il r no,,1o h, a. s.,4n L..
Yeomen from the American Guild,
and that within the next two weeks it
was expected that pra ctica11y the en-
tire membership would be again I'M
der the old banner. Judd stated that
the present assets of the Yeomen
were IN the neighborhood of Sal, 600,
and that out of this amount So, 600
would have to be paid as attorneys
fees, and that the remainder would
be placed in reserve fund for the
benefit of the members of the order.
Under the instructions of the conn
Gil the clerk has announced that all
members of the Kenosha Council VINO
were in good standing on the frs day
| of June may return to the council,
and that all that will be demanded is
the payment of back dues. These
members will not be required to take.
any medical examination nor to pay
the penalty for non-payment of dues
! on the day set by the council. Mem
bers who have paid dues to the Amer
lean Guild will not be forced to pay
these dues second time, as the Yeor
men of America will take up the fight
to secure the return of these dues.
The date of the transfer to the Yeo-
men of America is fixed at August 80,
and the Guild will pay back to the
Yeomen ali moneys received after
that time, if demand is made by the
members.
Notwithstanding the opinion of the
officers, it is thought that many men,
bers of the Kenosha Council will with
draw from the order, and it is posi-
bic that few will accept policies in
the American Guild.

Richard Fritsch, of Oshkosh,
Given an Hour to Get Out
Of the City by Police
He ENTERED SEVERAL PLACES
Claiming to be Fire Inspector He had
Insisted on Visiting the Easements
of Different Stores.-Just Re-
leased From Green Bay
From Fridays Daily

Richard Fritsch, aged 81 years and
claiming Oshkosh as his home, was
taken into custody by Chief of Police
Ke1nold late Thursday afternoon.
The man had represented himself as
tlre inspector and under this repre-
sentation had gained access to the
easements of certain stores in the
city. It is known that he entered the
Easements of the stores of Scho1er &
Funck on Main street and of Joerndt
Bros, on Milwaukee avenue.
There was no charge on which
Fritsch could be held but the chief of
police gave him good lecture and
allowed him just sixty minutes in
which to get out of the city. Fritsch
took the first car for Racine and the
police telephoned ahead to have the
Racine department keep close eye
on him.
Fritsch came to Kenosha more than
a week ago and had been stopping at
the Brassvi11e house. He told the
proprietor of the house that he was
working at the Simmons factory and
managed to get his board in this way.
To other people he stated that he was
a cousin of Chief Reinold, but his
grand stunt was to represent himself
as fire inspector. He went into the
store of Scholer & Funck and went
into the basement and ordered the
clerks to move boxes and barrels in
order that the passage ways might be
kept clear but he made no effort to
take anything from the store. At the
Joerndt store he took particular
notice of the conditions of the
windows in the basement and an
nounced to the police that it would be
an easy matter for burglar to break
into the store. 1t is not known Just
how much data Fritsch secured be-
fore he was taken into custody by the
chief.
When taken to the police office
Fritsch admitted that he had worked
the game but insisted that he had not
received a penny for his trouble.
Fritsch was badly frightened when
he was taken to the police Office and
told the entire story of his life with
out much hesitation. He stated that
he was the son of a we'll to do mou1der
at Oshkosh and that at the age Of 16
he had been arrested on charge of
securing pair of shoes under false
pretenses. He was tried and sent to
the Green Bay reformatory for term
of five years and after he had served
three years, with party of five he
escaped from the reformatory. Later
he returned to Oshkosh and gave him
self up to the officials and was forced
to spend the remainder of his term at
Green Bay. He was released on Sept.
Is, and came at once to Kenosha.
Fritsch seemed to have hazy idea
of what he was trying to do and in
sisted to the officials that he had
meant no wrong. Chief Reino1d is
of the opinion that the boy is not
mentally strong and it is probable
that the affair will end in his being
taken in by the officers Of some city
and committed to a hospital for treat
ment.

Dean Paul Mathews of Cincinnati,

After a two days investigation of
the affairs of the diocese he left for his
home last night stating to the Bishop
of the diocese that he would accept
the position rendered to him if ne
was able to make some arrangement
for the payment of debt which is
now hanging over the Cathedral at
Cincinnati. 1t is thought that this
arrangement can undoubtedly be
made and that Dean Matthews will be
free to accept the Office of Bishop
