Fancy Blouse Waist.

The fancy blouse is one that is in
constant and certain demand, and this
one is among the most charming and
most attractive that yet have been
seen. In the illustration it is made Of
crepe de chine in one of the lovely
peach shades, and is combined with
cream colored lace and applique, while
the belt is of chiffon velvet in the same
color as the crepe. Appropriate mate
rials are, however, more numerous
than ever this season, for there are a
great many new silk and wool fabrics
offered with the opening of the spring,
and the waist suits each and every
one. Among the prettiest is what is
known as 'plee-ted" crepe, which is
exceedingly attractive, and which
shows embroidered dots in self-color
over the surface. The elbow sleeves
will continue all their vogue through
out the spring and summer. and al
ways are pretty when becoming, but
the model includes long ones also. so
there is choice allowed. Again, when
liked, the fulness at the shoulders can
be arranged in gathers in place of
pleats.
The waist is made over fitted lin
ing that is closed at the front and itself
consists of the front and the back with
the yoke and plastron. The front is
draped most becomingly, and the belt
is shirred at it's front edges and joined
to the corselet portion, the closing Of
both the waist and the belt being

there were some nominally well-in-

THAT the pound sterling mark was
simply a capital L. with line drawn
across the stem. It came from the
Latin word ''librae," meaning a pound.
The I'd" used for the penny came also
from the Latin, meaning "denarius,

James H. Karnes Gets Evidence
Against Women Who Gambled
on Wheels at Pleasure Park
HINTS AT A BIG SENSATION
Women May Be Forced to Come Into
Court and Give Evidence Against
Understanding Among
Women Said to be Prevalent

Something Of a sensation is prom
ised for Kenosha in the next few
days, as it is stated thatJ. Ell. Karnes,
one Of the incorporators Of the Civic
Federation, and the humane agent of
the county has secured evidence
against women gambling at Ander
sons park on last Sunday. Karnes
secured his evidence personally. Fol
lowing his usual custom he made
round Of the parks on last Sunday
night, and when he reached Ander-
son S park he went over near the big
wheel and found three women anx-
iously watching the turn of the wheel.
karnes closed in on the scrowd and
later watched the women cast their
money on the board and win and lose
as the wheel turned round. In
short time Karnes had managed to
secure the names of the women play
ing the wheel, and it is intimated that
they will be called into court to give
evidence against the proprietors of
the park when the Civic Federation
gets down to work in earnest. It has
been learned that Karnes has made
tour of all the gambling places in the
city and the evidence which he has
secured is sufficient to keep the JUS
tice courts busy for some time. Thus
far the agent of the association has
declined to make public the names Of
the women, but it is certain that the
names will be produced at the proper
time.
Gambling is said to be common
among the women of Kenosha, but it
is seldom that it has been carried on
SO openly. 1t is claimed that for
some time the women who have at
tended the picnics have placed their
money on The turn of the wheels, but
this has been repeatedly contradicted
by the menin charge of the different
parks. 1t is claimed that the women
are persistent gamblers and that they
soon become fascinated by the turn of
the wheel. Karnes has been closely
watching the development of this
phase of the gambling mania In Ke

IS LARCENY
Mabel Anderson, a Kenosha Girl,
Arrested in Milwaukee On
Charge Of Larceny
ARREST A SPECTACULAR ONE

Mabel Anderson, young girl, oc-
cnpies a cell at the courty jail
charged with larceny. The arrest of
the girl was made last night by Chief
of Police Owen O'Hare and it was a
decidedly spectacular one. The young
girls love of fnery and jewelry is
what led her to cell in the jail. A
short time ago she worked at the
home of Prof. Otis L. Trenary on
Market street and when she left the
house dress valued at thirty-fve
dollars and a diamond ring disap-
peared about the same time. A war
rant for the arrest of the girl was Sc
cured and it was placed in the hands
Of the chief for service. After a
search of several days it was found
that the girl had gone to Milwaukee
and the police of Milwaukee were
asked to search. for her and if posi-
BILE secure her arrest. The sMilwau-
kee officials could not find the girl
and yesterday afternoon Chief o Hare
went to Milwaukee, and started to
hunt down the case. He found where
the girl had been. living, but it was
discovered that she had gone to the
Milwaukee White aCity with her
sweetheart. to spend the evening.
The chief went at once to the pleasure
park and found the young woman.
The arrest was spectacul al aone, but
the girl consented to1retur1 TO Keno

time of her arrest she was s:wearing

the officials. Miss Anderson is we'll

her arrest on so serious charge has
caused quite little sensation,
q The girl will havea hearing before

The verdict of the coroner's jury
called to investigate the death of
Joseph Hellreigel, who was killed OF
Monday morning by being crushed
under an electric car on Milwaukee
avenue, completely exonerates Mator-
man Jacob Schlenker and the com-
pany from blame in the deplor4bIe
accident as it found that the boy
jumped in front Of the car and shat
the accident could not have teeu
avoided by the men IN charge Of the
car.

only after the examination of every
person who witnessed the accident.
was chat said Joseph Hellrlege3
came to his death by jumping in front
of a street car on Milwaukee avenu@
between Ounce and Orange streets
on Aug. IS, 1906, about $50 a. M. be-
ing instantly killed ;,
With such a verdict little blame
could be placed against the company
or the men in charge of the car.
The inquest into the death Of the
boy was an extended one. Wheu the
jurors met at o'clock Monday after
noon it was found that some of the
witnesses were not present and an
adjournment was taken until this
morning at s O'Clock. At the inc aesf
the company was represented by Joins
C. Slater and the parents of the boy
by Attorney r. V. Baker.
The 1notorman, Jacob SchIeuker,.
was the first witness called and he
told practically the same story given
in this paper on Monday evening,
Conductor B. NJ. DeDiemar stated
that he was on the rear end of the car
and had not seen the accident but
that he had heard the ringing of the
bell and noticed that the spower had
been shut. off.
Mrs. Eliza beth Kaufman, one OF
the passengers on the car, was on the
stand and stated that while she did
not witness the accident she had
noticed the motorman making frantic
efforts to attract the attention Of the
boy and that he had shouted loud
enough for even deaf person ia
hear him.
The most important witness at the
inquest was George w. Dorsey, line
man in the employ of the Keuosk1
Home Telephone company. DorseY
testified that the boy had been play
ing along the track and that the
motorman had made every possible
effort to attract his attention and thak
the boy 1eaped directly in front Of the
car. Dorsey had aided in removing
the remains of the boy from under
the car,
Leo Fuller, another man employee
by the telephone company, gave the
same evidence as Dorsey.
The only witness proposed by the
father Of the dead boy was LehrecaG
Greb, and his evidence was simpIy
corroborative of the others.
The remains of the dead boy were
removed to his parents home or

In his address Senator Frear urged
the Woodmen to authorize an increase
in their insurance rates to insure the
permanently and perpetuation of the
order. Senator Frear said that it is
becoming realized that flaternal or
CARNATIONS in general must revise
their system of assessments if they
are to continue.
Senator Frear is chairman of the
special legislative Insurance investi-
eating committee, and he is a recog-
nized authority on insurance matters
both mutual and fraterna1.
tWhi1e the order of the Modern
Wood4nen of which / am a member,

certain defects that must be remedied

tor Frear. "There is no fraternal
organization that is certain of perma-
hence, unless4 it's present rates are
revised and advanced. The Modern
Woodmen is better in some respects
than many fraterna1 organizations,
but out weakness lies principally in
the fact that our rates are too low.
