II is impossible to describe in Il few

A Baby in Politics.

Thds story is told of the late Con
gresham Clarke of New Hampshire
who was one of the best campaign
speakers in the state, though Of a very
nervous temperament and easily an
noyed.
During the campaign of 1896, in
company with another gentleman well
known in New Hampshire politics, he
addressed very large audience in
the southern part of the state. The
second speaker had, unknown to Mr..
Clarke, brought along his wife ana
baby daughter, who were In the au-
d1ence, and the whole time that Clarke
was speaking the child kept up a baby
prattle, much to the disgust Of the
candidate for congress.
When he had finished, and while the
town band was playing selection, the
other man who was to speak leaned
toward Mr.. Clarke and asked, "What
kind of an audience is 1t to talk TOP"
and was surprised to hear him reply,
1T is all right if you can get that
woman and kid out"

Mrs. Gertrude Robinson, Former.
Iyof Kenosha, Secures Posses
sion Of Daughter by Force
KIDNAPPING STORY REVIVED
Divorced Wife of Former Kenosha
Saloonkeeper Secures Possession
of Her Little Daughter by
Stealth in Kansas City

A dispatch from Kansas City this
morning states that Mrs. Gertrude
Robinson, formerly Of Kenosha, dis
regarding the order Of the courts Of
Missouri, yesterday afternoon kid
mapped her little daughter Gertrude
from street in front of the Chase
school in Kansas City. 1t is alleged
that the mother escaped with the
child and that all efforts to locate her
have thus far proved without avail.
The action of Mrs. Robinson marks
the re-opening of the long fight for
the possession Of the little girl. The
child is now Z years Of age and she
has been in the custody Of people IN
Kansas City for the past 4 years.
Harry t. Robinson, the father Of
the child was former Kenosha
saloon keeper, but he left the city
several years ago after sensational
incident. The incident had for its
central character the little daughter.
Robinson and his wife had seen con-
siderable domestic trouble before this
time and Robinson had shown con-
ciliatory spirit and had invited his
wife to go to Milwaukee with him to
do some shopping. Mrs. Robinson,
willing to forgive and forget, went
with her husband to Milwaukee and
after Robinson had taken her to a
shoe store he left the wife without
money to return to Kenosha. The
husband then hurried to a telephone
and had a friend bring the child to
the railway station.
In this way he secured possession
of the child, and by the time Mrs.
Robinson had communicated with
friends and secured money to return
to Kenosha with, the child had been
taken to Kansas City and was in the
keeping of relatives of Robinson.
Later Mrs. Robinson secured a di-
vorce, and then began a long fight in
the courts at Kansas City for the pos
session of the child. The court
finally took the custody Of the child
from both parties, and placed the
little girl in the keepingSof woman
at Kansas City.
| Mrs. Robinson had been in Chica {
for some weeks, and it was declared
that she went there to appear aga insi

AS the members of Mrs. Robinson's

Gals at Kansas City in regard to the
case

Ice Handlers are Still Out and
There is No Sign of Peace
at the Present Time
FORCE OF STRIKE rs FELT
Many are Out of Ice and it is Almost
Impossible to Secure Deliveries
Hotels and Saloons First to
Feel the Strike

The strike among the drivers of
ice wagons is still on and what is
more there is no sign of peace in
sight. The drivers and their assist
ants have remained firm in their de-
mand for higher wages, and while
they have kept away from the Offices
of the ice, companies the managers
Of the companies have made no at
tempt to put other men in their places
and it seems that the managers are.
willing to wait until the demand for
ice is sufficient to warrant the rails
ing of the price so that the wages de-
nanded may be paid. by the COM
panies.
There was little effect of the strike
on Friday, IS most people had been
warned that the men would go out,
and the drivers and their helpers were
kept at work until late Thursday
night filling up the boxes. But this
morning it is different. Many of the
larger customers of the company are
out of ice and they are meeting with
all sorts of difficulties in getting it.
The number of small wagons in the
city is decidedly limited, and every
one of these was in service this morn
ing carting ice from the depots to diff
ferent consumers about the city.
Some of the draymen have taken up
the work of delivering the ice, but the
consumer has discovered that the
amount charged for delivery in most
cases is considerably more than the
value of the ice.
The hotels and saloons of the city
were the first to feel the force of the
strike. The new Fischer hotel which
opened this afternoon was left entire
1y without ice and the proprietor of
the hotel was forced to hire dray
and haul his own ice. AT the depots
| it was stated that there was nothing
new in the strike and that there was
no reason to believe that speedy
settlement of the trouble will be
reached.
1t is known that at least one of the
men connected with the business in
Kenosha is in favor of raising the
price of.ice. and in this way meeting
the demands Of the, men, but it is not
thought that this course will be taken.
No statement was given out by the
companies today in regard to the
charge that the Knickerbocke Ice
company was in charge Of the BUSH
ness IN Kenosha and this statement
is generally taken as correct.
The drivers were not seen about the
city today and there was no meeting,
this fact showing that no negotiations
we're in progress for ending the
strike. In the meantime the man
E.agers of the ice companies are sup
plying ice to all people who are able
to find way for it's delivery and this
will be continued. The usual amount
Of ice has been shipped into the city
during the past few days so that there
has been no cause for shortage.

LET BIG CONTRACT
Theleen and Anderson Secure
Contract for Building big Ad-
dition to Central School
WORK TO BESTARTED AT ONCE

At the adjourned session of the
board of education held on Tuesday
evening, the contract for the large
additions to the Central school build.
ing was let to The1een & Anderson OF
Kenosha, the contract price being
$50, 600. There were six bids presented
for the work. Three Of them were
from out of town bidders, and these
bidders forced the Kenosha men down
to the lowest point
H. r. Edwards of Racine, had the
second lowest bid $40, 845; Blair and
Summers of GAINESVILLE, bid $23,8o2;
Got1ieb Schaefer of Kenosha, $23, $50
and Fred Larsen of Kenosha, $24, $40.
After the bids had beensconsidered by
the. board acting as committee of the
whole, the contract was awarded to
the lowest bidder.
The1een & Anderson will be re-
quired to furnish a bond of SIS, OC0 to
insure the completion of the work ac-
'cording to the plans and specifca-
tons. The work on the building will
be started at once and it is thought
that it can be completed by the first
of next December. The addition to
the building will greatly relieve the
crowded conditions now prevailing in
the city schools.
1t viii add a large assembly room
for the use of the High school stu
dents, four new grade rooms and a
recitation room for the High school.
The best improvement secured by the
change is found IN the fact that the
addition will offer a large room for
the use of the manual training depart
mcnt of the schools. This depart
ment, the founding of which was made
possible by gifts from Thomas B.
Jefery is growing so rapidly that the
present quarters are no longer
adequate.
The entire basement of the new ad-
dition to the Central school will be
built with the view Of using it Tor
manual training and it will be
equipped in the most modern manner.
It is not thought that the work Of
constructing the building will require
more than six months.
The board did not take up the plan
for the new grade school in the west
ern part of the city, but it is planned
to start this building in the early fall
so that it will be ready for use at the
opening of the school year in the fall
of 1907.

NEW HOTEL OPENED
Fischer Hotel, the Largest in the
City, Thrown Open for the
Reception of Guests
MODERN HOTEL IN EVERY WAY

With appropriate ceremonies the
new Fischer hotel on East Market
street was thrown open for the use of
the public on Saturday, and, while
the workmen are still at work in some
parts Of the building, nearly all of the
rooms of the large hosiery are ready
for use.
The hotel is the largest in the city.
1t is constructed of brick and is made
as near fire proof as possible. On the
first floor of the building are located
the Offices, dining rooms, par1ors and
bar room. This portion of the hotel
is strictly modern. 1t has a tile floor
and all of the fixtures are of the most
modern style. The dining room is
sufficiently large to take care of more
than 200 guests.
The second, third and fourth floors
of the building contain 1870 sleeping
rooms. Not sign of the old build
ing erected many years ago by Peter
Rhode remains as all of the old work
has been torn away. The rooms on
the three floors are decidedly fine
ones. Every room is airy and light
and we'll ventilated. Proprietor
Fischer has expended more than $35,.
600 in the building of the hotel.
In the past the hotel has been
largely used for working men but it
is the plan OF the proprietor to take
care of transient trade as well as his
regular boarders in the future. So
popular has the Fischer become as
home for the working men that it is
stated that nearly every room IN the
big building has already been rented.
However, it was the plan of Mr..
Fischer to have the hotel in readiness
for the coming of the delegates to
the Catholic convention and many
rooms will be reserved for the use of
these visitors during the next few
days.
It is probable that Mr.. Fischer will
arrange for formal opening of the
aew hotel some time later in the
month.

What He Remembered.

Senator Tillman was once speaking
Of section of North Carolina re
naarkable for the great longevity Of it,
residents, when he referred to an ode
character long known as "Old jim
Tolliver." No one knew Jim's exact
age, but he was popularity supposed to
be somewhere round 90.
.Old JIM enjoyed no greater pleas
ure than to jest about the sendlity OF
his neighbors, for he himself was as
spry as a youngster of 45.
One morning "Old Jim" Tolliver met
friend named Taylor "And how is
my venerable friend?' asked Tolliver.
Venerable nothingw exclaimed Tay-
lor, u am not near as old as you are,
Jim, and you know II"
I'm not so sure about that" said
Old Jim. ''Tell me, Taylor, what is
the first thing you can recollect?''

Taylor, "and that must have been
eighty years ago, was hearing people
say, There goes old Jim Tolliver.' "
