Leader of Racine Police Force Died at
Three Lakes on Saturday Morning

Leader of Racine Police Force Died at
Three Lakes on Saturday Morning
Fred Pfster, chief of the Racine
police force, and man widely known
among the people of Kenosha, died
at Three Lakes on Saturday morning
after long illness from consump-
tion. Ckief Pfster was in Kenosha
for the last time three months ago
and at that time he was planning to
go south in search of health. He re.
returned home two weeks ago but
failed to regain his health. He made
a hard fight against the white plague
but it was losing fight. The de-
ceased was widely known among
officers in southern Wisconsin and he
had aided the Kenosha officials in
working up many cases. A delega-
ton from the Kenosha force will at
tend the funeral which will be held in
Racine tomorrow.

ASKS BIG DAMAGES
Joseph Unit Demands Large Sum From
the Railway Company

Joseph Unit Demands Large Sum From
the Railway Company
Summons and complaint was served
this morning in a suit brought by
Joseph Unit against the Kenosha
Electric Railway Company in which
the plaintiff in the action demands
damages to the amount of $4,000 for
personal injuries received on July
7th of last year. Unit was driving
along Main street at the time of the
accident on which the suit is based
and his horse was frightened by a car
and ran away. In the mix up which
followed the wagon was struck by the
car and Unit was thrown heavily to
the pavement. He was taken to the
Kenosha Hospital and it is claimed
that it was found that the inner table
of his skull had been fractured. In
his complaint Unit claims that he
was permanently injured as a result
of the accident. Robert Verne Baker
is looking after Units interests and
it is expected that the case will be
tried at the September term of the
Circuit Court.

BIG TIME FOR ARMY

Aid Local Salvation Army Corps

Princess Rink Band and Col. Marshall
Aid Local Salvation Army Corps
The Kenosha corps of the Salvation
army had great time Saturday and
Sunday when the Princess Rink band
and Col. Stephen Marshall, Of Chics-
go, were the guests of the local corps
The band played at the corner of
Main and Wisconsin streets Saturday
night and fully two thousan people
gathered about the corner to listen to
the music. Later concert was given
at the Rhode opera house which was
largely attended.
Col. Marshall delivered two power
full sermons at the post headquarters
on Sunday and great crowds attended
all of the meetings. 1t was one of
biggest celebrations ever held by the
Salvation army in Kencsha. The
Princess Rink band is certainly one
of the greatest bodies of musicians in
the middle west.

Mrs. Edward D. Blush Finds a
New and Better Way Of Deal.
ing With Night Marauders
SMASHED BURGLAR IN FACE
Unknown Man Manages to Get Awas
After Being Badly Injured and
the Kenosha Police are
Now Seeking Him

Mrs. Edward D. Blush, who resides
on Park avenue just over the way
from St. Matthews Church, has found
new and better way of dealing with
peppers for about one O'Clock Tues
day morning when an unknown man
sought to look into the window of the
room occupied by Miss Florence
Blush, daughter of Mrs. Blush, the
we'll known woman smashed the fell
low in the face with a. carpenters
hammer and while he escaped from
the police he left behind trail of
blood and there is no doubt but that
he was badly injured by the nervy
woman.
For three nights Miss Blush had
complained that she had seen the
same man peeping into her window.
but her mother had declared that she
imagined the face at the window.
Just after midnight, Monday, Miss
Blush crept into her mothers room
and told her that the man had appear
ed again. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Blush
got up and hurried to the Sbed room
and they found that the screen had
been torn from the window. Just at
this time the rain was falling in
torrents and Mrs. Blush waited until
after the storm subsidized and then
peered out rear window and saw the
man coming out from a cellar way
near the house. She was convinced
this time and she told her husband to
rush to the telephone and call the
police and as she went through the
kitchen she picked up a heavy
hammer. She went into the room oc-
cupied by the daughter and sat down
on the bed which was near the win
dow with the hammer clutched in her
hand.
A minute later she saw the form of
the man outlined on the curtain.
Cautiously he pushed aside the broken
screen and raised the window, and
just as he poked his head in the win
dow Mrs. Blush swung with the ham
mer. She caught the fellow full in
the face and knocked him off a box on
which he had been standing IN order
to reach the window Mr.. Blush was
still at the phone trying to get the pc.
lice and Mrs. Blush shouted to him
that the fellow had been struck. Mrs.
Blush and Miss Blush fastened to the
door IN order to catch the fellow, but
by the time the members of the house
hold got out on the street the man had
escaped and had run east over South
Main street. BY the time the police
reached the house all trace Of the mau
had been wiped out by the falling
rain.
But it is certain that the fellow got
a first class blow il the face, as the
box on which he was standing had
spots of blood on it and neighbors
heard the man cry out as he ran away
from the house.
Mrs. Blush stated next morning that
she did not know why she took the
hammer but that she supposed that
she took the first thing that came to
her hand and that she struck the fell
low as hard as she could. She de-
clared that in the future she would see
to it that more convenient weapon
wassin the house.

The bill which passed the legisla.
ture providing for teachers employ
ment bureau as reported in this paper
last week, was later Yetoed by the
governor on the ground that the
teachers of the state are among the
most intelligent class of citizens and
are able to take care of themselves,
and further, that every county super.
intendent and Normal school, as well
as the University, is already acting as
such agency; that there is no ground
of public policy upon which such a
law can rest, and that the state
should not undertake the business Of
securing employment for any class 81

the public by such an undertaking.

WOULD WRECK CARS
Innocent Amusement of North Side
People May Land Them in Jail

People May Land Them in Jail
The police of the city are making a n
effort to find some practical jokers on
the North side who evidently thought
that it would be great sport to wreck
a street car and who proceeded to put
the plan into action by placing a
number of blocks on the track just
north of the Main street bridge.
Twice Sunday afternoon and evening
the mortormen on the cars discovered
the blocks on the tracks and removed
them. Most of the cars were heavily
loaded with people during the day and
should they have been wrecked there
is little doubt but that many would
have been injured. Thus far the
identity of the jokers has not been dis
covered, but if they are located there
will certainly be something doing.

in the northern part of the city, was

David Nelson's Team Becomes Fright.
ened and Tears up Lawns
There was an exciting runaway on
Market street late Monday afternoon
when team attached to a wagon
owned by David Nelson, the express
man, became frightened at some pass
ing object and ran away. The team
left the street and dashed through
the lawns along the street tearing up
the lawns and breaking down shrubs
and bushes, and creating general
havoc. The driver was thrown from
the wagon to the lawn of w. H. Rob-
inson, but he escaped with only few
bruises. His escape from serious in
juries was regarded as very fortu-
nate one.

The Idiosyncrasy Of the Cigarette.

Cigarettes engage the attention Of
American state Legislatures so persis-
tently that any fa vt not generallys
known about them is worth impartingss
1t is often said that they afford rather
a mild form of smoking, and that the
tobacco in them is mere tobacco. and
mild at that, and incapable of such
crimes as are charged against It, That
is true. and some of the western legis-
latures seem little crazy about
cigarettes, which, indeed. do great
mischief to some children, but are not
nearly SO dangerous to grownups as
western legislators seem to think. But
cigaretts are not mere rolls Of tobacco.
They are not drugged with expensive
poisons, as Is absurdly charged, but
they have popularity. The COM
bination of burning paper and tobacco
makes a chemical compound which IL
neither tobacco smoke nor paper
smoke, but has name which chem
lists know and smell which every
body knows. There is not much of the
new compound, but in what there is of
it lies the idiosynecrasy Of the
Observation-Disclosures Weekly.

The Changes in the Senate.

The death Of the two venerable Ala
bama senators so near together calls
attention to the unusually large num-
Der Of changes that will have taken
place in the membership of the Sem
ate when that body meets next De-
cember. The list is surprisingly long
when it is considered that there has
been no great political upheaval. First
there are Pettus and Morgan Of Ala
bama, who have died: then there is
Spooner of Wisconsin,, who has re-
signed and who is the greatest loss of
all, in point of actual ability in both
constructive legislation and debate;
Dubois of Idaho, Clark of Montana,
Paterson of Colorado are three West
ern Democrats whose seats will be
filled by Republicans; Dryden of New
Jersey, Alice of Delaware and Willard
of Nebraska are Republicans who have
failed of reelection, but will be sue
ceeded by others of their own party;
Berry of Arkansas, Blackburn of Ken
lucky and Carmack of Tennessee are
Democrats who have been defeated by
other Democrats as Il result of the Sc
lection of senatorial candidates at the
primaries. There is also the seat OF
Oregon, formerly filled by Mitchell
and since then for brief periods by
Gearn, Democrat, and Mulkcy. Re
publican. which will be occupied by
Senator Bourne. Here are 10 changes
and Rhode Island has yet to elect
Wetmore's successor.
In addition there will be the two new
Senators from Oklahoma, who will tax.
their seats some time during the com.
ing Congress if not at its opening
There will therefore be at least IL new
faces in the Senate even if Senator
Wetmore is reelected and no further
| fatalities intervene. 1t requires but
little calculation to see that this is ap.
probably higher than the average rate
| OF change. AS far as these changes
/ are directly significant. the rctircmo nj
of the three Western Democrats, lcav-
| ing Senator Teller Of Colorado the sole
| Democratic Senator from that section
illustrates with striking emphasis how
| the Democrats are being more ant
more confined to the solid South. EX.
| cept for Senator Teller. who will ap-
| parently be succeeded by a Republican
in 1909, the Democrats now have NJ
