HICKS SAYS STORMS
st. Louis Weather Prophet Hands
Out a teery Lot Of Weather
for the Next Thirty Days
LOTS OF COLD WEATHER

A lot of people are pinning their
faith In weather predictions on Hicks,
the St. Louis astronomer, whose
almanac for this year, made up last
fall, has been hitting the nail head
in most remarkable manner recent
ly. Last month Hicks seemed to be
making the weather, so closely did
his predictions materialize, notwith-
standing the fact that it was one of
the most freakish months ever ex-
perienced. Hence Hicks predictions
for June aresworthy of some respect.
Hicks says that June is to be one of
the stormiest months of recent years.
and even more freakisk than May or
April - phenomenal perturbations
will reach some sort of crisis in earth
and sky" is the way he puts it.
The first storm period will extend
from the End to the 7th, beginning
with marked rise Of temperature and
falling barometer and eliminating in
severe thunderstorms, cloudbursts,
hail and possible tornadoes.

warmth, extreme humidity and vio-
lent thunder and wind storms will
characterize this period, according to
Hicks.
From the 18th to the 18th will be
one of the most decisive turmoil
seasons of the whole month; low ba-
rometer, humidity ard excessive heat
will be followed by violent and dan
gerous lightning storms, in which the
destructive winds will reverse all
their usual directions and blow from
anywhere to everywhere.

local rain deluges in widely separated
sections ard wind worthless of great
destructiveness.
The last of the June storms will
occur about the 9th, during which
there will be heavy rains, wind and

Taking June right through, Hicks
says there are to be unusual volcanic
disturbanc es, earthquakes, sun spots,
auroral displays and all sorts of
freakisn magnetic earth currents that
sailors especially had better pay at.

MARRIED AT WIN
Louis Robert Grosvenor and Miss
WaIIie Krebs Surprise Their
Friends Tuesday Morning
HONEYMOON IN NEW YORK

Kenosha had dawn wedding Tues
day morning and one which came as a
surprise to many of the friends of the
young people participating in the
unique matrimonial function. Just
before five o'clock Tuesday morning at
St. Georges church, the Rev. Father
Elskamp united in marriage Louis
Robert Grosvenor, son of Mrs. E.
Grosvenor, and one of the best known
young business men of the city and
Miss Wal1ie Krebs, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Simon Krebs, of Middle
street.
The sun was just peeping over the
Eastern horizon when the bridal
party arrived at the church. The
church had beer prettily decorated
for the occasion with potted plants
and cut lowers and only the near rel
atives of the bride and groom we're
present when the marriage service
was read. The bride who was given
away by her father was attended by
her sister Miss Katherine. sKrebs as
maid of honor while Mr.. Alfred Gros-
venor was the best man.
Immediately after the ceremony at
the church Mr.. and Mrs. Grosvenor
drove to the Northwestern sstation
where half dozen of the members of
the bridal party took the train for
Chicago. Later wedding breakfast
was served at the Auditorium Annex
in Chicago. Mr.. andiMrs. Grosvenor
left later in the day for NiagaraiF a1ls
where they will spend short honey
moon. Before returning TO Kenosha
they will visit with friends at New
York City and Detroit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grosvenor will make
their home at 301 Chicago street and
will be at home to their friends after
the first of July. Both the bride and
groom are widely known in Kenosha
and they will have the hearty con-
CALCULATIONS of large circle of friends
to whom the announcement of the
marriage will probably come as a
great surprise.

FORFEITURE NOT FINE
Violators of the Postal Laws Not Sub.
ject to Arrest But to Civil Action

JN(t ~ <AIICSb Dut 10 A1Nl1 <AClIOn
People of Kenosha who have vio-
lated the postal laws by sending
tobacco tags and orders for premiums
IN packages under fourth class postal
rates have been looking up the law in
regard to such violations and it is
declared that these people are not
liable to arrest as was recently stated
IN the columns of the News, but if
the government decides to proceed
against these people it must be
through the medium of the civil
courts. The law makes it possible
for the government to collect for
fixture of ten dollars and not fine.
The people who are sued by the gov
eminent may contest the suit just as
in case of any other civil action.
Thus far no action has been started
by the government against any of the
Kenosha people but as soon as the
report of the inspector is made it is
expected that such an action will be
taken

NO MINORS WANTED
Candidates for Membership to
Royal Arcanum Must Be
Twenty-Five Years Old
ADOPTED RULE AT BOSTON

Pursuant to a resolution adopted at
the thirtieth annual convention at
Boston, the Royal Arcanum will not
admit to membership candidates less
than 81 years of age. This question
agitated the order for several years,
many members being in favor of maxi
ing the minimum limit is years, but
according to S. A. Eckstein, of Nil
waukee, who returned from Boston
Friday, the resolution will be binding
for all time, it being adopted only
after most thorough discussion. Mr..
Eckstein and Judge E. B. Belden, of
Racine, we're the only Wisconsin del
egates at the convention.
"By general consent the convention
meets in Boston every tenth year."
said Mr.. Eckstein. 'sThe order was
founded in that city and four of the
original nine charter members attend
ed the sessions. These we're the Rev.
William Bradley, DR.. ]. H. Wright,
DIR. Darius Wilson, and julius M.
Swain. Mr.. Bradley is more than 90
years of age, but took deep interest
in the proceedings. Mr.. Wilson is
really the founder of the order.
"The Chicago Commercial club won
the next convention for Chicago.
Milwaukee had no show, though I
submitted the invitation of the Citi-
zens' Business league. The Chicago
contingent went after the affair,
which netted one of the hotels of
Boston $12,0 in systematic man
ner. Souvenirs we're distributed
among the men and women. Aside
from this the Chicago delegates had
a guarantee fund of $1,000 for the en-
tertainment of the supreme lodge.
"The order is in splendid condi-
ton financially and numerically.
Since Jan. every jurisdiction has
shown gratifying growth. When our
rates increased we naturally suffered
to some extent in losing members.
But since October, 1905, when the new
races went into effect, we have paid
every death loss within week and
have accumulated a reserve of So, 228,-
343.25. The order is also carrying
one-half the assessment of members
above 65 years Of age. The Wiscon-
sin jurisdiction has membership of
8, 5O0."
Judge Belden and Mr.. Eckstein
were placed on important committees
during the session, Mr.. Eckstein
being on those on delinquent coun-
ellis and supreme council jurisdiction,
and Judge Beiden on those on claims
aud on rate legislation.

AN |NCEND|ARY FIRE
House Owned by Ernest Anderson
Located on Newell Street is
Burned to the Ground
LUMBER THIEF is ACCUSED
Nine Boys Who Were Seen About the
Building are Taken Into Custody
by the Police But Put Blame
on to Other Parties

Chief of Police O'Hare and Fire
Chief Henry Isermann are Investigate
ing mysterious fire which occurred
Saturday evening, and which resulted
in new house on Newell street,
owned by Ernest Anderson, car
penter contractor, being completely
destroyed by fire. It is pretty certain
that the house was set On fire, but the
officials are in doubt as to whether a
deliberate crime was committed or the
burning of the house was the result
of an accident.
The alarm Of FIRE was sent in from
the automobile factory Of the Thomas
B. Jefery Company just after 9
O'Clock, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the members of the Fire Depart
ment made fast run to the fire, the
building was doomed before the fire.
men arrived. The building was en-
tirely Of wood and itburned like tim
der. It burned so rapidly that at first
the Chief of the Fire Department
thought that it had been covered with
kerosene. AS there had been no stove
in the house and nothing in the way
of a salamander the cause of the fire
was deep mystery and Sunday morn
ing Chief Isermann and Chief O'Hare
went out to the house and made an
investigation. The first thing they
found was a battered kerosene can,
and this was investigated and it was
learned that it had been left at the
house empty by plumbers who we're
just completing their work. It was
found that nine boys had been at the
back of the house just before the fire
and these boys were all taken into
custody.
AT the police Office the boys declared
that they had nothing to do with
setting fire to the house. They stated
that minute before the fire broke
out they had seen an unknown man
enter the house and carry out some
lumber and that as he returned for
another load of the lumber they had
shouted at him, t'You will get six
dollars and costs for stealing lumber "
With this the man jumped out of the
window and started to run north on
Newell street. A minute later the
fire was discovered and the alarm
turned in. The boys declared that
the lumber thief who had been oper-
ating in the house had lighted several
matches in order that he might make
more careful selection of his plumber
aud it is thought possible that he
dropped lighted match into pile of
shavings and that the FIRE was started
in this manner. Anderson will have
quite loss as result Of the fire.
The loss is placed at nine hundred
dollars and Anderson stated this
morning that he had verbal contract
for insurance, but that he did not
know whether this would cover the
house or not.
The house will probably be rebuilt as
soon as possible. In connection with
the FIRE there was sensational story
ahoat that the house had been set on
fire because it was built with nom
union labor but this story is found to
have no foundation in fact.
