Burglars PIey a Return Engage.
ment in KenOsha and Get
Booty Valued at $3.50
GO THROUGH SMALL OPENING
Unknown Parties Break Rear Window
In Store at Corner of Market and
West Main and Get Away
Without Leaving Clue

The burglars are playing a return ca
gagement in Kenosha and some tiMs
this morning supposedly between TIVE
and three o'clock the store of John
Kaspar, at the corner of West Main
and Market streets was entered by ua-
known parties who got away with
booty estimated in value from, $50 to
$3.50. The men entered the store
through a. small window at the rear
of the building which was Just large
enough to permit the entrance of q
small man. They were discriminating
in their work and picked out the best
clothing and jewelry in the store.
Kaspar was called to the store at
four o clOck, but he couIu make only
an estimate of the amount of merchan-
disc taken. The jewelry cases in the
store were pretty well stripped and it
is known that considerable clothing in
the way of overcoats, sweaters and I'M
derwear is missing. DR.. Munroe lives
in the fat above the store and he heard
the men at work in the store, but
thought that it was some one moving
about on the street. The police of
fcer on the beat had passed the Kas-
par store just after two 'clock and
returning to the point just before three
he discovered that the rear window was
open. He went to the nearest tele-
phone and called the members of the
force believing that the men were still
at work in the store. Kasper was hur-
riedly summoned from his home and
the doors opened, but notwithstanding
the search made, no trace Of the burg
lars could be found in the store. They
had evidently left by the same window
which had been used in making the
entrance. They let no clue behind
them, but Kaspar seems to be of the
opinion that the burglary was commit
ted by couple of men from w auke-
gan whom he had seen hanging about
the store during the past few days.
The men had been in the store and
asked the price of things in the win
dow and at the same time took oe-
casion to size up the place end it is
thought that these men went to the
store for the sole purpose of getting
the lay of the land and that they re-
turned last night and after the place
had been closed for the night watched
the police officer and Waterman until
they found time when it was possible
to break and open the window and get
away with the booty before the Of
fcers reached the store again. The
police are at work on the case, but they
have been able to discover nothing
which will aid them in getting line on
the identity of the guilty parties To
them it looks like the work of home
talent.

MORE DELAY FOR HEARING
City Attorney Notified That Kenosha
Hearing is on January Calendar

The State Railroad Commission is
evidently planning to take its time on
the matter of rates charged by the Ke-
nosha Gas and Electric Company, as
City Attorney Slater has received let
ter from the officials of the Commission
stating that the case will be set for a
hearing at the January term Of the
Commission. 1t is understood that the
members of the Commission have sort
Of an idea that the Kenosha and Ra-
cine Gas Light companies have some
connection other than has been known
and that for this reason it is the plan
of the state officials to take up the
hearing on both Of these companies at
the same time. Superintendent r. N.
Kimball declares that there is no con-
nection between the two companies, but
he seems to have no objection to hav-
ing the hearing Of both of the cases at
the same time. Under this ruling the
case will probably not be reached for
hearing until the latter part of Janu-
airy and no decision will be handed
down until several months after that
tine.

SETTLED LIKE A SOLDIER
One of Uncle Sans Soldiers Comes Back
to Pay Fee for His Wedding


Inere is one minister in KenOsha
who is thoroughly convinced of the
honesty Of Uncle Sam s soldiers at Ft.
Sheridan and that is the Rev. E. T.
Farrill of the First Congregational
church. A short time ago Mr.. Farrill
had an early morning wedding at which
First Sergeant from the Ft. Sheridan
barracks was the groom. The man and
his bride had come to Kenosha on the
former evening intending to get mar
ried and return to the Fort that night,
but they were unable to get o license
and were forced to wait till morning.
The hotel bills and carriage bills ate
up all the funds of the soldier and af-
ter the ceremony had been performed
told him that it would be impossible
for him to pay for the ceremony. He
offered to leave his watch as security
for the fee, but the minister declined,
stating that he thought he could trust
a man IN the uniform of the United
States government. On the following
day the soldier CARRIED in all his regi-
mentals came to Kenosha and personal
1y delivered to the minister five dol
lar bill. Mr.: Farrill offered to divide,
but the man scorned the offer and de-
clared that it was his policy to pay for
everything he got, including his wife.

START CAMPAIGN EARLY
o. L. Grays is Seeking Office of County
Superintendent Of Schools

Ii the old adage of the early bird
getting the worm has any effect in
politics, 0. L. Grays Of the town of
Bristol, is going to be the next super
lntendent of schools for Kenosha coun-
ty, as he has already began his cam
paign for the Office Notwithstanding
the fact that the election is not to be
held until next April. The Bristol
man was formerly principal of the Bris-
tol schools and is well known about the
county. Under the new law the office
Of county superintendent is a. non-parti-
san office and the members of the old
parties have not in several years made
any effort to bring it into politics. The
recent victories of John J. Kerwin and
his splendid record as an official will
make him d decidedly hard man to beat
if he desires to have the office for an
other year, and it is understood that he
will be candidate. Mr.. Kerwin is
widely known about the county and his
work as superintendent has attracted
such praise from The teachers that in
the past he has had a large support
from patrons of the schools regardless
of politics.

Milwaukee, became the first life mem
Der; a third "patrons" membership
was established, open to donors Of 5000

addition to those present at yesterday s
meeting, are included all persons who
contributed toward establishing the
Wisconsin tuberculosis exhibit and all
persons who contributed toward the ex-
pense Of the delegates to Washington.
All Wisconsin members OF the Interna-
tional Congress for tuberculosis are in.
Guided.
Dr. Ravenel, DR.. Dearholt and com
mittee of three were named to nominate
board of directors. Directors will be
