HAVE A NEW BISHOP.
Archdiocese Of Milwaukee is to
Be Divided and a Fourth Do
cese viii Be Created.
FOUR BISHOPS IN WISCONSIN

The archdiocese of Milwaukee is to
be divided and fourth diocese to be
known as the Superior diocese will be
created in Wisconsin and the bound
airy lines of the three dioceses into
which the state is now divided will be
changed. The new diocese will be
formed of the northern and eastern
third of the La Crosse diocese and of
the three counties in the Green Bay
diocese which lie west Of the Wiscon-
sin river. It will embrace the entire
northwestern part Of the state and the
seat of this new diocese will be at
Superior.
The Milwaukee diocese now extends
through to the Mississippi river and
by the new division the southern tier
of counties lying west of Madison will
be taken from the Milwaukee diocese
and added to the La Crosse diocese,
which gives the major part of the ter
ritory for the new diocese. The Green
Bay diocese will be smaller by the
three counties west of the Wisconsin
river.
The new division, in fact, divides
the state as nearly as possible into
four equal parts with as regular
boundry lines as the county lines will
permit. The Green Bay and Superior
dioceses will comprise the northern
part of the state, the Green Bay do
cese lying east and the Superior do
cese west of the Wisconsin river. The
Milwaukee diocese takes in the
southern quarter Of the state lying
east of Madison and the southwestern
part of the state makes up the La
Crosse diocese.
This will give Wisconsin a fourth
bishop and interest now centers in the
selection of the dignitary, which must
be made at Rome and which will
doubtless be decided on in the near
future.
The redistricting of the state is the
result ola movement which has COW
cred a number of years. The plan
was first submitted to Rome twelve
years, ago, and after it's careful exam
nation by the congregation of the
propaganda, word was sent to the
Wisconsin bishops that it seemed wise
toswait awhile. The plan has been
revived atvarious times and last sum
mer definite work was begun once
more

Seth NJ. Richcreek Of PhiIadeI-
phia, a Millionaire Marries a
Kenosha County Girl.
BRIDE S RESIDENcE IN DOUBT
Groom Did Not Know Whether She
Lived in Kenosha County or not
and one License is
Withdrawn.

Seth NJ. Richcreek, said to be a
millionaire manufactures of Phi1adel-
phia, and Miss Bertha Richcreek of
Bassetts Station in this county, we're
united IL marriage blythe Rev. r. c..
Dennison at GAINESVILLE, last Monday
evening and the friends of the bride
in the western part of the county, are
now receiving announcements of the
wedding. The groom gave his age
as AZ and that of the bride as 20. He
stated that they were cousins.
The Philadelphia millionaire and
the little Bassett station girl were to
have been married at the home Of the
bride week ago, and this had caused
quite a little surprise among their
friends. More than a week ago Mr..
Richcreek came on from Philadelphia
presumably for the wedding, and at
that time he went to the office of
County Clerk Crosby and asked for a
marriage license. The license was
made out, but when it came to filling
IN the residence of the bride to be
| Richcreek claimed that he was not
certain where the young lady lived.
On this account the license was not
issued, and Richcreek went away
promising to return latter for the
needed document. He secured car
riage and started at once for the little
village in the town Of Randall. He
never returned, and after holding the
half filled out blank for a day or two
County Clerk Crosby erased the
! names, and the license which was to
have been used by millionaire was
yesterday issued to laborer of Keno
| sha.
There is said to be considerable Of
romance in the marriage of the
Philadelphia man and Miss Richcreek.
The bride and groom are cousins, and
they met for the first time a short
time ago when the groom came out
from Philadelphia to visit his re1a-
tives in Wisconsin. It was a case of
love at first sight and notwithstand-
ing the fact that the groom was more
than twenty years her senior Miss
Richcreek consented to marry him.
It was originally intended to have the
marriage at the home Of the bride in
Randall, but Mr.. Richcreek returned
to Chicago and was delayed by i'm
portant business until Monday when
he telegraphed Miss Richcreek to join
him in Chicago and the two took the
first train for GAINESVILLE, where they
were married at the home of the aunt
of the bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richcreek have gone
to California to spend long honey
moon after which they will go to Phil
ade1phia to make their home.

MEIsELBACH PLANT1N DANGER
Grass Fires Set by Boys in the Third
Ward Threaten Big Plant.

Grass Fires Set by Boys in the Third
Ward Threaten Big Plant.
For half an hour Tuesday night the
big plant of the A. ID. Meiselbach
company in the Third ward was in
danger of destruction by fire, and it
was only after hard fight that the
firemen from the Third ward engine
house extinguished the flames which
threatened the building.
Boys playing in the vacant lots
near the plant had set fire to the grass
and in short time the flames had
grown beyond the control of the boys
and they spread rapidly to fences
surrounding the vacant lot. The
flames we're being carried 20 the fac
tory when a still alarm of FIRE was
sent in and the Third ward fremen
responded. After a hard fight the
fire was extinguished by the use Of
the chemical. The fences in the
neighborhood were damaged consid-
erably by the FIRE, but tire loss will
not exceed fifty dollars.

Government Engineers Find Bad
Conditions in Harbor and
Work viii Start Soon.
SHOALS RAPIDLY DEVELOPING
The Survey Shows That in Some
Parts of the Harbor the Water
is But Ten Feet Deep and
Dredging is Necessary.

The old controversy between the
engineers of the government in re-
gard to the action of northeast storr,s
on the Kenosha harbor has been set
tied at last, and Captain Cameron,
of the Life Saving crew, was notified
yesterday that the government had
ordered the dredging Of the Kenosha
harbor and the dredge will be here the
first Of next week to begin the work
which will probably take the rest of
summer and demand an expenditure
of something like $4,000.
The report of the engineers sent
by the government to investigate the
harbor has not been made and the
work is only half completed, but the
work went far enough to show that
the harbor was getting into danger
Gus condition. The men found that
along the lake line great shoa1 had
been built up by the sand carried in
by these northeast storms, and while
it was supposed that the main depth
IN the harbor was at least twenty-one
feet the engineers found places where
the water was less than three feet
deep and in many places near the
north pier the water was but ten feet
in depth. It was absolutely impossi-
for large vessels to enter the harbor
under such circumstances. They
found that this shoa1 water extended
out into the harbor for nearly hun
dred feet and the size of the pile of
sand was increasing rapidly. It was
found that in order for a large vessel
to enter the harbor it would be neces-
sary for it to hug the south pier de-
cided1y close.
The work has been in contemp1a-
ton for several years and engineer
Warren has several times requested
that it be done but the members of the
river and harbor committee held that
the work was unnecessary. At the
last session of congress a special com
mission was ordered to investigate,
and the work has been ordered as a
result of this investigation.
It is the purpose of the government
to dredge the entire harbor to a depth
Of twenty-five feet. 1t is not probable
that the commission will do any furth-
er work in this harbor and the men
have gone to Racine where they ex-
pect to find similar conditions. The
work of dredging in the two harbors
will offer only temporary relief, and
before permanent relief is secured it
will be necessary to make a change in
the breakwaters guarding the two
harbors. This work cannot be order
ed by the engineers until congress
makes further appropriations.

LOVES DREAM SHORT
Mrs, Helen Marion Gundersoa
Granted a Decree of Divorce
From Her Husband.
HUSBAND WAS DRUG FIEED.

Sitting in chambers in the circuit
court in Racine Monday afternoons
Judge E. B. Be1den handed down a.
decree of divorce in the action of
Helen Marion Gunderson VS.. Gustav
Gunderson. The wife was awarded
the right to take her maiden name Of
Helen Marion Chase.
The plaintiff in the action is well
known in Kenosha and many people
have taken a lively interest in her
matrimonial experience. The grant
ing of the divorce came as a surprise
to many of the friends of Mrs. Gun
derson, as the papers in the action
were not filed with the clerk of the
circuit court until a short time before
the action was taken up by Judge
Be1den. The hearing in the matter
was private and Gunderson failed to-
appear either in person or by his at
torney.
The allegations of the complaaue
made by Mrs. Gunderson border &C
the sensational, andRaccording to her
story her experiment of married life
was decidedly short one. In her
complaint it is stated that she was
married to Gunderson on Feb. H.
1904. She was married at ST. Mat
thew's church in this city and at the
time the marriage created quite a Lift
tie sensation.
Mrs. Gunderson alleges that the
married life consisted of one weeks
life in boarding house, and that
after that time she returned to the
home of her mother in Kenosha. Guu-
derson remained in Chicago and she
did not hear from him until Octobec
of the same year. At that time he
stated that he had provided her wiGha
home, but when she went to OCCUPY
the home Gunderson demanded that
she put up the money ito furnish it
She declined and since that time she
has been living in Kenosha.
Mrs. Gunderson made. the sensa-
tiona1 charge that her former has
band was addicted to the use of drugs
and that while under the influence OF
these drugs he had attacked her vita
a club.

CITIZEN BEGs TO DIFFER


Statement of Kenosha Man Regard
ing Racine Must be Taken With Salt
T lTfo The News:
The following appears in this morn
ing's Sentinel:
Theodore Jacobson Of Kenosha, is
at the Republican house. 'Kenosha is
one of the best cities in Wisconsin to-
day, and is thriving remarkably, he
SAID. To illustrate the progressive
spirit Of the town, / will make COM
parison with Racine, which is ten
miles north Of us, and nearly twice as
large. There has been an electric
street car line in Racine for number
OF years, and dozens of cars are run
there every day. In Kenosha we have
nag an electric line about two years,
ana there are only three cars in SER
vice. And yet the daily receipts from
the three cars in Kenosha are larger
than those from the entire system in
Racine. That will give some idea of
the difference between the two cities
and will, Think, uphold my statement
that kenosha is one of the best towns
in Wisconsin. -
It looks to me as though it might be
well to puncture some of the hot air
bubbles that have so swe1led Mr..
Theodore jacobson of Kenosha. BY
