Considerate Burglars Break Into
Main Street Store and Get
Clothing and Money
THEY OVERLOOK RICH BOOTY
Take Small Change From the Money
Drawer, But Fail to Get Larger
Sum in Another Apartment
of the Same Drawer

The Fair store at the corner of Main
and Wisconsin street, was the victim
of the burglars bold Sunday night or
early Monday, and as result of
the visit of the night marauders the
stock is minus about 500 worth Of
goods and the thieves managed to Sc
cure cash to the amount of about SO.
They were considerate thieves for
while they were in the big store they
took their time about it and managed
to make the best possible selection Of
wearing apparel and Manager Gott-
lieb declares that he is convinced that
the men will be we'll dressed for the
winter.
The men got away with suit of
clothes, valued at SIS, an overcoat of
the $l8 variety, shirts, suspenders,
shoes, socks and even carriers and af-
ter he had completed his wardrobe
for the winter he evidently came to
the conclusion that he would need a
little loose change to complete his out
fit and he went to the money drawer
and forcing it open took pennies and
other small change to the amount of a
little over So. There was a much
larger sum n the back part of the
drawer, but as has been said before
the fellow was considerate and as
this money was real cash money he
decided that the store might need it
to make change for the Monday morn
ing rush and he left it behind.
The burglary was discovered when
the store was opened Monday,
1t was found that the thief had made
his way into the store by breaking
open a window at the rear of the
place. No effort had been made to
force open the safe although the man
had visited the offices of the establish
meut.
Just after O'Clock Monday morn
ing one of the young ladies employed
at the store happened to be passing
near the store and she saw two men
peering into one of the rear windows
of the place. 1t is thought that these
were the men that made the entrance
later in the morning. Several sus-
picious characters have been about
the city for several days and it is
pretty certain that their presence is
not for any good about the city and
the police should see to it that these
men are closely looked after.
1t is thought that the men must
have been frightened away from The
Fair before they completed the work
planned as there was large amount
of valuable stuff that could have been
secured and none of this was touched.
The proprietors of the store seemed
20 be of the opinion that the burglary
was committed by some one who was
looking for a winter outfit and that
after he had secured this he fed,
leaving the other things untouched.
The burglary is the first to take
place in the down town district Of the
city in some time and it is evident that
the burglars are growing more bold.
No arrests have been made in connec-
tion with the case but it is expected
that the police will get busy within
short time and make a round up of
these thieves.

Congregation of German Lutheran
Church to Make an Effort to
Close Saloons
TOO CLOSE TO PARISH SCHOOL
Plans for the New Church are Dis
cussed at Annual Meeting. But
No Decision is Reached in
This Regard

The new law in regard to location
of saloons within three hundred feet
OF school buildings is to be tested by
the congregation of the German
Lutheran church as at the annual
meeting of the congregation held at
the school hall on Sunday afternoon
1t was voted to start work with the
view of forcing the Schlitz Brewing
company to close up the saloon at the
interse ction of Milwaukee avenue
and Uuion street and to force the
Fortune Brothers Brewing company
to close saloon on Union street
which, it is declared, is within the
distance from the school named in
the law as Objectionable. The matter
has been before the congrega alton for
brewers have beer appealed to with
out effect. The members of the con-
gregation are now almost unanimous
1y IN favor of closing the saloon and
an effort will be made to have a pro.
test prepared andss presented to the
Common Council at once. The pro-
test must be signed by at least fifty
one percent of the parents of the
children attending the school and it
is thought that it will be an easy
matter to secure the signatures.
Germania Hall, the headquarters of
the Pabst Brewing company IN Keno
sha, was also thought to be within the
Objectionable distance but careful
measurements show that the church
and school can do nothing to close
this place. 1t is an open secret that
the property of the congrega ton is
on the market and the breweries have
considered buying the property dur
ing the past year but all these negotia1
tions have fallen through. The
further developments III the case
will be watched with 4 great deal Of
interest. The property owned by the
Schlitz company is reg arded as one Of
the most valuable pieces of saloon
property III the city.
The reports OF the officers of the
congregation showed that the north
side church was in excellent
condition and that more than $50, 600
had been handled by the church treas.
urer during the year just passed. The
matter of building a new church was
taken up and discussed al length.
The Central Leather Company has
declined to raise the offer for the
church and school property, but the
committee has been notified that the
big leather making company will give
$40, 900 for the property and allow the
congregation to remove the buildings
to some other site. The congregation
has already secured a lot for a new
church IN the Rice Subdivision and il
is possible that the work of building
will be started before the end of the
present year. Some of the members
are of the opinion that it would be a
good plan to build the church at this
time and leave the school where it is
until further funds could be raised.
No plans for the new church have as
yet been adopted, but the rapid
growth of the congregation in the
past few years has brought a demand
for larger church and larger school.
It is expected that ali of these de-
mands will DE met in the new building
when it is erected.

AN ARTISTIC TREAT
Leo Tecktonius and Associated
Artists Please a Large Audi
1 fence at the Rhode
ARTIST PLAYS WITH CHARM

The concert given at the Rhode
opera house on Monday evening I'M
der the auspices of the new English
Catholic Church society, by Leo Teck-
tonius and capable company Of ar
fists, was one Of the most artistic
musicales ever given IN Kenosha and
an audience which tested the capacity
Of the theatre listened 10 the concert
and gave pldudits to the various Dum-
bers.
Assisting Mr.. Tecktonius were Sig
@nor Umberto Bucchieri, tenor; Herr
Gustaf Holmquist, basso, and Miss
Jean Tecktonius, soprano, who COM
bined to render program of ten num-
bers of standard compositions, every
one Of which were given in way to
reflect nothing save the most extreme
credit on each artist. Of Mr.. Teck-
tonius the only thing to be said is that
his mastery touch and wonderful
technique which so charmed his
audience on former occasions has been
augmented to noticeable extent, de-
rapidly improving regardless of the
fact that long since has he been de-
clared by the most eminent critics as
pianist of the very first rank. His
every rendition was perfection itself,
combining technical mastery OF his
instrument with a grace of perfor-
nance and sensitive Interpretation
that was most pleasing to the cultured
ear of the musician.
While the interest of the evening
centered on the pianist, the vocal ar
fists who assisted him held many
pleasant surprises for their hearers IN
that their renditions showed a degree
of perfection scarcely expected.
Signor Bucchieri of whom little was
known, captured the audience with
his first appearance, and during the
rendition of his various numbers
which were all from the Italian the
interest was intense. His singing of
the Vesti, la guibba from Verdi, was
one of the best numbers on the pro-
gram.
OAS Va eHN 8 S0SNSl RANo VI Ih(
evening was derived from the vocal
numbers of Miss Jean Tecktonius,
sister of the pianist, of whom
little has been heard, but who pos
sesses soprano voice of rare sweet
ness and culture, and gave four num-
bers in manner to indicate her as a
vocalist with great future. Her
rendition of an air from ''Herodiate"
| by Massenet was beautifully done,
but she seemed to be better in series
of light aeries which we're given to-
wards the last of the program. In
this number her voice showed a dis
tiIct charm of expression that won
the heartiest commentator and ap-
p1ause.
Miss Charlotte Pech was the ac-
companist of the evening and per-
formed her part of the program adj
mirably.
Gustaf Holmquist, of Chicago, a
hasso of great power, completed the
list of artists for the evening and his
numbers were especially pleasing.

The baptizing in the Taft lake last
Sunday conducted by j. L. Barbour

women, boys and girls 1t looked to
us like pretty cold bath but perhaps
the warmth within was sufficient to
counteract the cold without. We hope
much good will follow the exercises
and here's to the faith and courage of
devoted people that are not daunted
by ice cold water on winter day in
the service OF their God.

Too much winter.
