The People of Great Britain.

Ethnologically Great Britain is a mix ture of many races, resulting from a succession of invasions. When the Ro- mans invaded Britain the inhabitants were Celtic, mixed with an earlier Euskarian non-Aryan element. They continued to be mainly so until the fifth and sixth centuries, when the lev el parts of the country were overrun by German tribes. Then followed inya- sons by the Danes and other Scandi- navian tribes and lastly the Norman conquest The inhabitants of England and the lowlandS of Scotland, there fore, sprang from all amalgamation ot the original Celtic with German and Scandinavian blood. Wales and the highlands of Scotland are still inhabit- cd by descendants of the ancient Celtic tribes. The people of Ireland also are of Celtic origin, although there is an admixture of many other races.

Villages That Cut COrks.

Thousands of men, women and chi,- dren in the mountains of Spain and Portugal are employed in cutting cork. It is a domestic trade, and it occupies whole villages. Agents from the fac tories and export houses of Seville and Lisbon go through the mountain viii lages each year buying up the corks in enormous quantities. It is not unusual for an agent to purchase 5,OOO,O0O on one journey The corks as purchased in the native villages are of all sizes and qualities. They are sorted in the cities and, after being packed, are shipped by the ton. Once here many of them are recut by hand at the rata of twenty gross a day. So fastidious are some bottlers that the cork iT- porters have to keep In their employ. ment several cork cutters to recut such corks as do not suit customers.

LIGHT SENTENCE
Frank Bookseller Of Kenosha. Gets
a Year in the House of Cor.
rection in Chicago
SENT OBSCENE LETTERS HERE

In the United States court in Chi
cago on Monday, Frank Bookseller
formerly of Kenosha was sentenced
by United States Judge Lands, to
term of one year in the house of cor
rection in Chicago. Bookseller had
been arrested a month ago at Ottawa,
ILL.,, by Postofice Inspector Frank
Bird of Milwaukee. He was charged
with sending an obscene letter
through the United States mails.
The letter had been addressed to a
Kenosha girl, but she was not forced
to appear in court to prosecute the
fellow, as at the last he consented to
plead guilty to the charges against
him.
Bookseller, who was formerly en-
p1oyed at the Simmons Manufa ctur-
ing plant was well known among the
workingmen of the city. It was
alleged that when he left Kenosha he
was engaged to be married to a we'll
known young woman of the North
side and that the date for the marriage
had been set.
A short time after he reached
Ottawa Bookseller met other women
who were more to his taste and he de-
cided to break his eng agement with
the Kenosha girl In order to do this
he sent a letter to the Kenosha girl
which was said to be one of the most
fragrant violations of the postal laws
ever discovered in this part of the
state.
The United States officials were at
once apprised Of the action of Bob
seier and warrant for his arrest was
issued When the officers went to
Ottawa they failedIto find their man.
but later he returned to the Illinois
city and was promptly placed under
arrest.
When arraigned in the United
States court he plead guilty to the
charges against him and threw him
self on the mercy of the court. AS it
was the first offense against the man
the judge decided to give him a light
sentence. Bookseller is now in the
house of correction.

Children Of Adam Besenius Liy-
ing in Cologne Secure the Aid
Of American Consul Dunlap
NO TRACE OF THE PROPERTY
No Administration of the Estate has
Been Held in the County Court
and Property Does Not Appear
on the Kenosha Tax Roll

Clerk of the Circuit Court Frank
Waldo has received a letter from
Consul H. ]. Dunlap in charge of the
American Consulate at Cologne Ger
many, asking that the circuit court
make some effort to trace the estate
OF Adam .Besenius, a former Kenosha
man who was murdered at Santa
Barbara, CAL, on the night OF. Oct. 2,
1902. The request has been made 10
the consul by the children of Besenius
who are residents of Cologne.
The Consul has been informed that
Besenius formerly owned several
pieces of property in Kenosha and
that the children claim that al the
time of his death he was in possession
OF at least one house and lot in Keno
sha. The consul states that repeated
letters have been sent to relatives
OF the heirs in this city, but that no
answers have been received and that
the heirs now believe that the Keno
sha relatives are seeking to take
possession of the property without
taking the children into con-
sideration.
An examination of the records of
the kenosea county court fails to
show any indication of administration
of the estate. Adam Besenius was a
resident of Kenosha for many years
and just before he met his death he
had gone to California to seek a new
home. He had been living at Santa
Barbara only a few weeks when he
was found in an alley with His head
crushed. He died few days later in
a lospitaIat Santa Barbara without
lregaining consciousness. Besenius
| formerly had children residing IN Ke-
nosha and they made Efforts to have
his crime avenged and later the men
accused Of numbering the old man
were captured, but they escaped
punishment.
An .exa mination Of the tax roll for
this year shows that no property be-
longing to the Besenius estate has
been returned for taxation and while
I it is possible that the property was
overlooked by the assessors such an
accident is very improbab bic. Besenius
before leaving for California disposed
of one piece of property on Lemon
street, and it is thought by former
acquaintences that this was the only
property in the city which was owned
by him. The former friends of
Besenius claim that he had not been
in correspondence with the heirs for
some time before his death, and for
this reason it is thought possible that
he sold the property without notify
ing them.
Clerk Waldo will make an enquiry
into the matter before answering the
letter from Consul Dunlap.

GET MANY FIGURES
City officials Getting Statistics
of Cost of Electric Lights
in Other Cities
la SALE HAS LOW RATES

Alderman c. F. Stemm, who is at
the head of TIE special committee of
the council in charge of the PROPOSE
ton of securing municipal lighting
plant for Kenosha, has started to
work on new tack, and reports are
being received from many sscities in
the middle West, showing the cost of
lights in these cities. The requests
for reports have been sent to more
than forty cities and some replies are
coming in very promptly.
An interesting batch of replies was
received this morning by Mayor Cor
man, the most interesting of the lot
being report from the city clerk of
La Sale, ILL.,, where municipal plant
is operated in connection with the
municipal water plant. This report
shows that the lights cost the city SIS
a year. The report shows that La
Sale has 116 street lamps on the cir
cult and they have candle power of
1000. The cost Of coal in La Sale is
an important factor in the report, as
it is shown that the coal costs but
$1.65 a ton. It would be impossible
to get coal for the Kenosha plant for
less than double this sum. The clerk
at La Sale states that there is great
saving in the fact that the water and
light plants are run in conjunction,
as the same coal is used for making
steam for both plants.
The report from Escanaba, Mich,
shows that that city is paying an
annual rental of SIS for its street
lamps. The lamps have a candle
power of 1900. Other cities show
larger prices paid for street lighting
but in none of these other cities has
a municipal plant been installed.
The reports now being received will
be tabu1ated and made into areport to
present to the common council at an
early date, and the report will be used
as an argument in favor of munici-
pal lighting. It will take some time
to get in all of the reports asked for,
as some of the city clerks are little
slow to take up the matter. and it will
be necessary to send several letters to
SOME of them.

VIOLATE THE Law
State Attorney General Files Suit
Against the Wisconsin TeIe-
phone Company
HAVE DIFFERENT RATES

Charging that the Wisconsin Tele-
phone company has violated chapter
389, laws of 1905, which forbids tele-
phone companies charging higher
rates in one city or town than it
charges in others of the same class At
torney General L. M. Sturdevant filed
suit Saturday at Milwaukee against
the Wisconsin Telephone company
for $500, the penalty provided by law
for such violation, in the circuit
court.
The complaint served by Mr.. Stur-
devaflt sets out that the Wisconsin
Telephone company had unlawful1y
charged greater rental for exchange
telephone service in the city of Be1oit
than it charged for like service in the
city of GAINESVILLE. Be1oit and James
vile are both cities of the ninth class.
The anti discrimination telephone
bill was passed by the last legislature
after bitter fight. The bill was de-
signed to protect the public against
discrimination consequent upon the
fight between the Wisconsin Te1e-
phone company, which controls the
Bell system, and the independent com
panies which sprang upsall, over the
state after the expiration of the basic
Bell patents.
The Wisconsin Telephone company
is said to have ,lowerednitss rates in
cities where competingg companies
have entered, but the company it is
said, has not made corresponding re-
ductions in cities of the same class
where it enjoys a monopoly of the
business.
1t is claimed that the wisconsin
Telephone company had a varying
scale of rates according to the COM
petition it encountered, and that the
NEW law apparently was not con-
sidered in its schedule of rates. A
provision of this law forbids telephone
companies charging higher rates in a
city or town than is charged in cities
or towns of higher class.

AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Mckinley Memorial Exercises Held ON
Monday Afternoon


Monday Afternoon
In the program held at the High
school Monday afternoon, Rev. E. T.
farrill gave an address on the life of
Mckinley. In his address he told of
the good influence of his life on that
OF the people now; and on the nations
to come, who will hear of him in
history.
His life was full of lessons; of these
the greatest we're truth and integrity.
The greatest description of his noble
life was posted on one of the New
York buildings. The motto was the
simple sentence-"H was a true
man." His death gave us three great
lessons
The first was to respect the rights
OF others. This was shown by his at
titude towards his assassin.
The second was tenderness; shown
by his not wishing to pain his wife
until absolutely necessary by her
hearing of his death.
The third was self denial. He
wished to cause no one trouble, and
even said he was sorry to interrupt
the exposition.
In conclusion, Mr.. Farril1 said he
was noble and grand character, one
to infuse and inspire the present and
coming generations.
The address was greatly enjoyed by
the High school. What added to the
solemnity of the occasion was the
fact that about two hundred pupils
wore carnations, McKin1ey's favorite
flower, out of respect to the martyred
