Few officers Of the Confederate States
of America failed to retain the love and
respect of those for whom they fought
but among them ALL Joseph Wheeler
remained to his death one of the most
generally beloved Even after he had
donned the blue again and fought for

the Southern people still acclaimed him
as peculiarly theirs.

Schley and Colonel A. X. Mcclure were
touring the South together and were

County Superintendent KerWin
Selects Locations for State
Travelling Libraries
COVERS THE ENTIRE COUNTY
Every Town in the County to be Given
a Chance to Test the Travelling
Library System Before the
County Board Passes It

County uperintendent John j.
Kerwin has sent to the state library
board list of stations at which travel
ing libraries are to be located in
Kenosha county for purposes of test
ing the system. This action is in
keeping with the request of the
library commission which by its
representative recently offered to send
number Of travelling Libraries to
Kenosha county in order that the
system might be fully tested before
the county board madesany appropria-
ton for its support. The county
superintendent has been in no way
partial in distributing the libraries
and his list Of stations includes every
town in the county and nearly every
village and cross road. It has been
quite a task for the superintendent to
find places in which to have the
libraries left as some of the people
did not care to have the bother of ex-
changing the books. When it was
suggested that the libraries be sent
to the county'it was planned to place
them in school buildings but this
plan did not appeal to the county
uperintendent on account of the fact
the school houses are closed up a
large portion of the year and the
books would be left without any one
to care for them. Besides this it was
thought that the schools would not be
no III
ton for the Libraries. The libraries
have not as yet been sent out by the
state commission but it is expected
that they will arrive the latter part of
this month. The selection of the
books has been left to the commission
be a good one. The people in the
county are anxious to give the system
the fullest possible test and for this
reason the coming ofnthe libraries is
being anxious1y awaited.
The list of stations for the different
towns and villages as designated by
Superintendent Kerwin is as follows:
Brighton, Hubert Zeihen.
Bristol, Joseph Rowbottom.
Paris, Heidersdorf store.
Silver Lake, r. NJ. Dixon.
Wilmot, ]. F. Thompson.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT
Officials Of Jefferson Ice Com
pany Capture Burglar Loot
ing a Boarding House
HAD BARRICADED THE HOUSE

Joseph Prage, a Bohemian forty
in the big boarding house of the JEFF
ferson Ice company at Silver Lake on
a charge of burglary. His arrest was
made by Charles Leonard and Fred
Schwartz, the managers of the Jeffer-
son company at the lake. This morn
ing Prage was arraigned in Justice
Sturges court and after preliminary
hearing he was bound over to the Cir
cult court on charge of burglary and
bail was fixed at 81, 900. Prage an
nounced his intention to plead guilty
to the charges against him and he
will go before Judge Belden tomorrow
morning.
The case is All unusual one in that
the man was caught red handed in
the act of packing up the valuables of
the ice company.
Prage had formerly been employed
by the Knickerbocke Ice company at
the lake but he was discharged on
Sunday morning and on Monday after
seeking work he went to the big
boarding house owned by the Jeffer-
son Ice company which had been
closed during the season. Finding
no one about the building he made an
entrance by breaking open one of the
windows and at once took possession
doors to the house and then went to
room on third floor where he pro-
ceeded to make himself comfortable.
Fred Schwartz, the manager for the
company DIT Silver Lake, had been in.
Madison and for this reason the reign
of Prage over the big boarding house
was not disturbed until Tuesday.
When Schwartz returned thome he
discovered that the windows of the
boarding house had been broken and,
securing the aid of Leonard, the fore
man for the company, the two started
to make an investigation. They
found the doors boarded up on the in
side and every step of their progress
was hindered by barricades. They
finally managed to reach the third
floor of the building by means of the
fire escape and Prage, driven into
corner, had barricaded the door lead
ing to one of the bed rooms. After
repeated threats the fellow opened
the door and when the two ice men
entered they found that Prage had
made search of the building. He
had secured twenty lone silver spoons
and some leather which had been
packed in grip preparatory to his
departure. He made weak resistance
to the men but they finally secured
him and took him to Deputy Sheriff
James Pease, who placed him under
arrest. Prage was brought to Keno
sha Tuesday night and spent the
night in Jail. District Attorney
Baker will ask that he be sentenced
on a charge of larceny.
