MISS SLATER A BRIDE
Marriage Of Miss Una Slater and
Walter White Celebrated at
the Home of the Bride
BOTH ARE WIDELY KNOWN

One of the notable weddings of the
summer in Kenosha came as Gull
mination to the long list Of weddings
on Wednesday evening, when Miss
Una Slater, eldest daughter of City
Attorney and Mrs. John c.. Slater,
was united in marriage to Mr.. Walter
Haze1ton White. The ceremony was
celebrated at the home of the bride on
Ashland avenue at six o'clock, the
ceremony being read by the Rev.
Father Roche, of ST. James Church.
In honor of the wedding the par1ors
of the Slater home were charming1y
decorated in white and green carna-
tons and ferns furnished the basis
for the decorations. There was a
pretty little incident in connection
with the marriage of Miss Slater and
Mr.. White. A year ago yesterday
Miss Slater was maid of honor at the
marriage of Miss Clara Messier and
John j. Schmitt and last night Mrs.
ScEmitt was the matron of honor and
Mr.. Schn1itt acted as best man. The
bride was charming1y gowned in a
frock of French lawn and carried
daisies. Mrs. Schmitt wore white
silk with old lace and carried the same
flowers as the bride. The wedding
march was played by Miss Katherine
Boyle, of Kewaunee, III.
After the marriage ceremony a we'd
ding supper was served in the dining
room which was decorated in pink and
white. Covers we're laid for fifty. An
informal reception followed the sup
per, Mr.. ano Mrs. White left late in
the evening for New York and other
eastern cities, where they will spend
their honeymoon. They will make
their home at APO Congress street and
will be at home to their friends after
August first.
Both the bride and groom are wide
1y known in Eenosha. Miss Slater
has been acher IN the city schools
for some time andis most charming
young woman. Mr.. White is employ
ed in the Offices of the Windsor Spring
Company.
Among the out of town guests pre-
sent at the wedding we're: Mr.. and
Mrs. A. T. Boyle and Miss Boyle, of
Kewaunee, ILL.,; Mr.. and Mrs. F. P.
Mccarthy and Mrs. Margaret Froom,
Mr.. and Mrs. John j. Schmitt, of Chi
cago; Mr.. and Mrs. ]. A. Boyle, and

Postmaster Ma1oney is Instructed That
tie Price of Envelopes Has Raised
There is sad news for Kenosha peo-
pie who are in the habit Of buying
stamped envelopes from the govern
ment, is Postmaster Maloney has re-
ceived new price list from the gov
eminent increasing the price Of these
conveniences. The increase IN the
price is not a large one, but II is ex-
pected that the Postmaster will have
any number Of kicks as result Of the
change IN price.
The new schedule shows that the
change in price amounts to just two
cents on each class of envelopes.
The change was made necessary on
account of the fact that the govern
ment has been forced to pay an in
creased price for the paper used in
the envelopes.

WOMAN SAVES LIFE
Unknown Woman Saves Life of
John Pearson, a Gas Filter,
Overcome in a Trench
He HAS NARR0WEST ESCAPE

John Pearson, gas filter, employed
by the Kenosha Gas and Electric
Company, had a decidedly narrow
escape from asphyxiation on Thurs
day afternoon and he owes his life to
an unknown woman who after she had
worked over him and saved him from
death quietly slipped away after turn
ing her patient over to two doctors
work of the woman in the case is GER
tainly deserving Of the highest praise
for had it not been for her work the
physicians who attended Pearson are
agreed that he would have died from
the effects of the gas before the
doctors reached the scene of the
accident.
Pearson with a couple of Italia n
laborers was at work in trench near
the corner of Maple and Jenne streets
and just before six O'Clock the wor k
had been all but completed and Pear.
son went down into the trench to
make the final connection with the
main. He had opened up the feed
pipe and was inserting plug to hold
the gas when the plug was blown out
and in second the man got dose
of the gas which rendered him un-
conscious. He fell on his face in the
trench and the two men with him had
no idea what was to be done to
II 70 80 -.
they removed him from the trench
and laid him on the ground and one of
the women in the neighborhood who
had witnessed the removal of the man
from the trench rushed to elephone
and called DR.. Andre. The physician
stated that he would come at once and
directed the woman as to the measures
to take to resuscitate the man. The
woman went to the scene of the ac-
cident and found the two laborers
jabbering about in an uninteIligent
manner and without further ceremony
she grabbed the arms of the uncon-
scious man and began to force re-
spiration.
1t was fully fifteen minutes before
Dr.. Andre and DR.. Van Westreinen
arrived and all this time the woman
continued the arduous work of fore.
ing respiration. BY this time the
man was beginning to show signs of
consciousness and when the doctors
arrived the woman was all but over
come from exhaustion from her la.
bors. The doctors took charge of the
case and in few minutes Pearson
had regained consciousness. He was
i'll during the evening, but this morn
ing he was able to resume his work.
DR.. Andre paid high tribute to the
work of the unknown woman this
morning and declared that had it not
been for. her efforts Pearson would
have been subject for an official ex-
animation on the part of the coroner.
Efforts to discover the identity of the
woman have so far been without
avail.

Body of E. C. Rudnick, Who Dis.
appeared Feb. 25th, Found
AfIoat on Powers Lake
RETURNS VERDICT OF MURDER
Man Is Alleged To Have Been Hit ON
the Head by Ice Critters and
His Dead Body Thrown
Into Powers Lake

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of Edward G. Rudnick.
the Chicago man who disappeared
from Powers Lake en- the afternoon
of February 25th, was solved on
Thursday when the badly decomposed
remains of the man were found Raat-
ing in the lake by John Hogle, an
Evanston fisherman. The remains
we're seight hundred feet from the
lake shore and it is evident that they
had been in the water for many
months. The remains were taken To
shore and jury called to examine ID
to the finding of the body. This jury
returned verdict of murder.
The physicians who examined the
body of Rudnick found a bad conta-
sion on the back of the mans head
and a great blood clot at the base of
the brain. They asserted to the Jury
that this was caused by the man be-
ing struck in the head with some
blunt instrument. The return of the
coroner's jury was sent to Sheriff
Pleunig this morning and it is ex-,
pected that the officials of the coGuty
will at once make an effort to locate
and arrest the murderers Of the NAM
= Rudnick was employed as an ice
cutter and channel man by the
Knickerbocker Ice company and on
the day that he disappeared he and
four other workmen had been sent out
to remove some s1ush ice from the
channel near the ice house. Just be-
fore the men left the engine roona, ID
which they had been loafing, Rud-
nick and another ice cutter engaged
in a quarrel and the engineer
thought that the men would come 90
blows.
When the party started out of the
engine room Rudnick remained be-
hind, as he declared that he was
afraid to work with the other meu, as
they had threatened him with violeace
and for this reason he would quit his
job. The men in the engine room
laughed at the fears of the man aud
he finally grabbed a pike pole aud
started to work. This was the last
seen of him until the body was found
on Thursday. 4 short time after the
men had left the engine room the four
returned and they stated that they
had seen nothing of Rudnick after.
they had left him at work IN the ctan-
mel. On the following morning the
pike pole that Rudnick had used and
the tobacco which he had carried
were found floating in the lake GEAR
the beach. Brothers of Rudnick liz
Chicago took up the search for the
body and for weeks the lake vas
dragged, but nothing was found. It
is thought possible that the body had
been weighted down, and this ae~
counts for the fact that no trace OF If
was found until Thursday. Just after
the man disappeared two of the ice
cutters who had worked with Rad
nick were taken into custody duy rseD4
uty Sheriff Mutz, but no evidence
was found against them and thew
were released. They disa cared a
few days later and nothing has been
seen of any of the men since that
time. The identity of the men is rot
known and the officials will have
decidedly hard time locating thezn.
The remains of the murdered mar
we're buried at Powers Lake,

Fire at Baldwin Docks Thursday
Evening Does Damage Of
Three Thousand Dollars
FIREMEN HAVE A HARD FIGHT
Favorable Winds Prevent Flames Being
Carried From Big Sheds to the
Plant of the Simmons Man
ufacturing Company

henosha had a spectacular fire jusl
after six O'Clock last night, when
flames broke out in the big coal sheds
owned by the George S. Baldwin Coal
company and before the fremen
could extinguish the flames damage
to the amount of $4,000 had been
done. The big sheds were completely
Quilted and the loss will be nearly a
total one. It is completely covered
by insurance. The work of rebuild
ing the sheds will be started as soon
as possible, but the fact that a great
deal of coal had been laid in for the
winter will make it a hard matter to
do the work during the summer and
the company may be greatly incon-
venlenced as a result of the fire.
Fortunately the flames did not reach
the great piles containing hundreds
of tons Of coal or most serious con-
hagratiou would have taken place.
The firemen prevented the flames
reaching any of the coal piles and the
coal was not damaged in any way.
It is claimed that the fire originated
from spark from the cupalo at the
Simmons foundry and the managers
of the coal company state that several
times in the last few weeks men have
been called on to put out fires caused
by such sparks. The spark seems to
have lodged on the east end of the
sheds and in comparatively short
time the great wood structure was a
mass of flames.
The smoke from the burning sheds
poured out over the city and in a short
time it was reported that the Simmons
plant was burning. Thousands of
people left their suppers to rush to
the fire but there was never time
when the Simmons plant was in
danger. Fortunately the wind was
blowing directly from the south and
instead of blowing the flames into the
second story of the Simmons building
at this point the flames we're carried
out over the harbor. In short time
the fremen had the fight well under
way and eight line of hose were laid
to extinguish the flames. The second
alarm was sent in at half past six and
at that time the fire protection of the
Simmons company was pressed into
service. With these long lines of hose
the firemen managed to get the FIRE
under control. None of the fremen
was injured but there was not a man
from the paid force or the volunteers
who worked at the fire that was not
soaked with water. The fire continued
to bother the dremen and it was after
eight O'Clock when the alarm of "fire
out" was sounded.
George S. Baldwin was seen this
morning and he stated that it would
be impossible to tell the extent of the
loss until the appraisers from the in
surance companies had made their
reports. He stated that the loss would
be at least $4,000. While the big
perstructure was of rough lumber
it covered large stretch of territory.
1t is possible that some of the up
rights of the shed may be saved but
the work of rebuilding will demand a
large expenditure.

WANTS. SWITCHES PUT IN
"Looker on" Thinks He Sees Way Out
of Elizabeth Street Middle

Mr.. Editor:-As way out of the
middle which has been made in the
granting of franchise for a double
track on Elizabeth street, which is
certainly too narrow to be used for
that purpose, why not put in switch
on the south side of the Balm Park.
This would practically result in a
single track, which the property
owners appear to concede to and give
the railway company double for a
quarter of the distance between Ash
land avenue and West Main street
and allow the maintainence of the ten
minute service.

RUNNING FARM WITHOUT WORK.
Not Quite That, But q Creek poss
Many Things by Electricity.

A progressive farmer In New York
state heralds the era of hid glove
farming. according to the Technical
World Magazine. He has made laxi-
ness q success, and can now do his
farm work without backache.
There Is q little creek running
through his farm. This he has har-
messed and forced to run a dynamo.
which In turn gives light and heat
for the house and outbuildings.
But Mr.. Miner was not satisfied with
his accomplishment The hardest tasF
about the farm, the one which every.
one most dreaded, was turning the
milk separator at a speed of 7,4OO
revolutions per minute. This had
been done by hand.
So Mr.. Miner installed a motor
which turned the milk separator every
morning and evening satisfactorily
without any hard labor on the part
Of the progressive farmer.
The next job to be hitched up to
the new horse was turning the big
barrel churn. Then came the grind
stone which Is the farm hands bug
bear during the harvest season. The
millstream was next made to pump
the water for household use up to
the roof, where there was large res
ervoir for storing it.
But wood had to be used for the
cookstove. and the sled-length logs
had to be cut down, SO a circular saw
was added to the outfit and a new
use was thus found for the electric
current.
