NOW SEEK WOMAN
Detectives Searching for Chicago
Woman Alleged to Have Gone
With Harvey Wells
MISSING FROM OLD HAUNTS

The detectives who are searching
for Harvey T. Wells, the missing
clerk of the First National Bank are
now turning their attention to search
for the woman who is alleged to have
been the cause of the downfall of the
young Kenosha clerk as they claim to
have secured absolute evidence that
the woman left Chicago in company
with Wells and they believe that if
any trace of her can be found Wells is
not far distant. It is said that the
woman is not known in Kenosha but
her haunts in Chicago have been
closely watched and she has not been
seen in any of them since the depar-
ture of Wells.
The name of the woman is not
known to the detectives but her
identity has been clearly established.
II is declared that the woman is an
English girl much older than Wells.
She is described as blond of strik-
ing appearance and it is claimed that
she spent some time in Waukegan.
AT the time she was in Waukegan
she stopped at one of the leading
hotels there and it is claimed that at
that time she was receiving visits
from Wells. The woman is alleged to
have been a common hanger on about
one Of the disreputab1e saloons in
Chicago and it is claimed that Wells
is not aware of this fact. The clerk
is alleged to have met the woman at
several small towns and he was COM
pletely infatuated with her.
Since the departure of Wells every
effort has been made to locate the
woman but she seems to have dropped
completely out of sight. In fact the
women who had formerly been her
companions and associates in the fast
set in Chicago claim that they have
heard nothing from her and that she
did not tell any of them where she
was going when she left the city. 1t
is claimed that these women do not
know Wells. It is just possible that
the missing man is not acquainted
with the real character of the woma n
who is alleged to have 1ured him to
his ruin. No new trace of the miss
ing pair has been discovered but the
search is still being prosecuted with
all diligence.

MANY KNIGHTS HERE
Uniform Rank'Men From All Parts
of The State Attend Big Ke.
noSha Celebration
MINISTRIES MAKE GREAT HIT

Thursday night was Pythian night
in Kenosha and hundreds of members
of the uniform rank from all parts of
southern Wisconsin came to the city
to attend the annual fail festival of
the Kenosha Uniform Rank held at
Germania hall. The gathering was
one of the most successful things OF
the kind ever held in the city and the
local Pythians covered themselves
with glory in the splendid entertain
ment furnished for their guests.
Early in the evening the guests
began to arrive from other cities and
when the street parade was given
there were large delegations here
from Milwaukee, Racine, Waukegan,
Chicago and Oconomowoc. General
John H. Zahn, the commanding Off
Ger of the Wiscouain division of the
Uniform Rank, marched at the head
of the Milwaukee delegation in the
parade.
More than two hundred members of
the Uniform Rank were in line when
the parade led the way to Germania
hall, where the entertainment for the
evening was given. The decorations
of the hall were most elaborate, the
co1ors of the Pythians being very
much in evidence. The crowd was
the largest ever seen in the hall and
it is claimed that no less, than LOO
people were present.
The hall was too we'll filled for
dancing but it was smerry, iost1ing
crowd and the spirit of All Halloween
was very much in evidence. It didn't
matter if the hall was little crowded
this fact did not interfere with the
pleasure of the large company.
The entertainment at the hall was
opened with the minstrel show, in
which many of the leading musicians
of the city took part. It was one of
the most successful amateur produc-
tons ever given in the city and the
novelty of the affair appealed to the
crowd. TheIold stereotyped minstrel
garb was not there but instead the
minstrels were dressed as Indians.
The program was given under the
direction of Prof. F. R. Jacoby ard
solos were rendered by Jack McGib-
bon, VIII. Robinson, Luther Shelton,
Frank Truax, J. K. Wheeler and DR..
F. B. Clapp. The choruses were
especially well rendered and every
singer was heartily encored. Follow
ing the minstrel show was the dance,
which continued until early morning.

Bear in mind, please that Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not a secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, because of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but is a MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOST

printed, in plain English, on every bottle
wrapper. An examination of this list of
ingredients will disclose the fact that it is
non-alcoholic in it's composition, chemic-
ally pure, triple-refned glycerine taking
the place of the commonly used alcohol,
in it's makeup. In this connection it
may not be out of place to state that the

DOWsE WILL, ADMITTED
County Judge Overru1es the Contest
of the Will of James c. Dowse

In the County Court Friday
Judge R. II. Slosson handed down a
Judgment admitting to probate the
will of the late James c. Dowse,
a former pioneer resident Of the town
of Pleasant Prairie, In admitting
the will the court declared that he
had found absolutely no evidence in
support of the objections to the pro-
bate of the will filed by w. G. Dowse
and Ernest Dowse. Under the ruling
of the court it will be necessary for
the court to name an administrator of
the estate with the will annexed. w.
c.. Dowse was named as executor in
the will but his contest will disqualify
him from serving in this connection.
The administrator will probably be
named at the next term of the County
Court. 1t is not thought that the
contesting heirs of the estate will p
peal the contest to the Circuit Court,

HAD A MERRY TIME
HaIIoWe' en- Jewellers Make Usual
Rounds Of the City Thurs.
day Evening
FENCES AND WALKS SUFFER

Halloween jewellers did the usual
amount of damage in Kenosha Thurs
day night and Notwithstanding the
fact that the police chief had a num-
Der of extra men on duty the boys
and girls managed to get through the
night without landing in the county
jail and while several of them we're
caught by property owners and on
threat of arrest forced to pay the
damage they had done, all of them
settled up in time to keep from spend
ing the night with the sheriff at the
county jail.
There was something doing in all
parts of the city but the North and
West sides seem to have been the
happy hunting grounds for jewellers.
Walks were torn up, fences torn down
and wagons and other vehicles which
had been left out after night fall were
hauled miles from their usual resting
place. The police officers were alert
! and many times during the night a
| cry of Jiggers were heard about the
town and when the police reached the
place where the jewellers had been at
| work they had managed to escape.
The jewellers seems to have been in
league with the various associations
which exist for the Improvement of
the city and in all parts of the city
the old plank side walks were marked
for obstruction. Down on South Ex-
change street and Chicago street
hundreds of feet of plank walk were
torn out, and torn out in such way
| that it will be impossible to replace it
IN any way save with an new walk
and this will have to be of concrete.
The people seemed to work with
method in tearing up walks and many
new walks will have to be laid.
Once or twice during the evening
the jewellers clashed with property
owners and one man residing on
Salem Avenue is alleged to have fred
broad side at the boys and girls but
no news of any Of them being injured
has been sent to the police Office.
The street commissioners of the
divisions were out this morning order
ing the repair of the walks, and they
found many soreheads.
It is expected that all of the walks
will be put in shape again before the
opening of the winter season.

William N. Hess Gets Divorce From
His Wife on Desertion Charge

His Wife on Desertion Charge
In the Circuit Court late Wednes-
day afternoon William N. Hess, a
we'll known resident of Kenosha, was
granted divorce from his wife Annie
K. Hess on grounds of desertion. Hess
and his wife left Kenosha some time
ago to go to Alabama to purchase a
farm. The wife was not taken with
the idea of farm life and it was
that she deserted Hess at
Mobile, Alabama a year and a half
ago. Hess has once made an effort to
find the woman but could find no
trace of her. It is supposed that
Mrs. Hess returned to the north but
no trace of her has been found either
in Kenosha or other places where she
lived. There was no appearance on
behalf of the missing woman and the
decree was granted by default.
