WILL PLEAD GUILTY
Charles Dodge Valves Examination
and Will Take His Medicine

Charles Dodge, arrested early Thurs
day morning in the Scholer & Funck
store on charge of burglary, will
probably be on his way to one of the
state institutions of reform before the
end of another week as when he was
arraigned for preliminary hearing
before Justice McCarron late Thursday
afternoon he waived examination and
was held to the Circuit Court to answer
to the charge against him. He made
no effort to furnish bond but stated in
court that desired to plead guilty to
the charge as soon as Judge Belden
could come to Kenosha and accept the
plea. It is probable that the case will
be taken up in the Circuit Court early
next week. AS Dodge has already
served a term for burglary it is prob
able that he will get long term in
prison as. result of the crime.

HUNTERS LOSE OUT
Assembly Refuses to Pass Bill
Providing for Season of
Spring Shooting
BITTER ARGUMENT ON BILL

After two hours fight DR.. Irvine IS
spring shooting bill was killed in the
assembly Thursday by vote of 46
to 40.
The spring shooting bill came up on
special order in the Assembly Thurs
day. The measure was to permit spring
shooting from April Is to 25, and no
hunter can kill more than ten birds.
The fight against the bill was led
by Mr.. Bray Of Oshkosh. He said Wis
consin came in to prominerc CO because it
prohibited spring shooting Illinois, he
said, was the only stare about Wiscon-
sin that allows spring shooting.
1T violates man. ideas of JUS
tice," said Mr.. Bray. cit violates
the protection and preservation Of the
duck, it violates man $ instinct of pro-
lection of the weak
He said 80 per cent of the men who
favored spring shooting were "game
hogs. Assemblyman Ledvina moved
the indefinite postpoaement of the
bill.
Speaking in reply Mr.. Hughes said
this was the first time he had learned
, that it was greater crime to kill a
, duck in the spring than in the fall. He
said if the state was going to prohibit
spring shooting, it should stop all shoot
ing of ducks at all times Of the year.
Mr.. Dorner spoke against the bill. The
bill allows the shooting of six species
of ducks. No one could distinguish a
flying duck, he said.
cit is an unreasonable bill,v said
Mr. Dorner. IT am opposed to it,
Mr.. Busacker read !. resolution from
, the Merchants and Manufacturers as
ISOLATION of Milwaukee opposing the
passage OF the spring shooting bill.
E'Do any of the members of this as
ISOLATION have private game pre-
serves?'' asked Hughes.
Speaker Bancroft hoped the bill
would be SO strongly defeated that it
would never appear again before the
Wisconsin legislature. II don't be-
lieve there is an intelligent argument
that can be advanced for. the BILL =
said Mr.. Bancroft.
Mr.. Hamill, speaking for the bill,
said an old bird knew better how to
dodge the hunter than a young bird
in the fall.

Burglars Make a Second Raid on
Station Of Chicago & Mil
Waukee Electric Road
GET ONLY A FEW PENNIES
Men IN Search for Money Break Open
Lven the Telephone Booth but
Robbery Melted Them Only
Few Dollars

iAoiiiC edlehC burglars are pussy again
and this morning report was made to
the police that the station of the Chi.
cago and Milwaukee Electric Railway
Company at the west end of Elizabeth
street was entered by burglars at an
early hour this morning. The place
was completely searched, but it is
thought that the men got little more
than few cents for their trouble.
This is the second time that the sta
ton has been robbed during the past
ten months and it is evident that it
offers a place for easy work on the
part of the burglars
Ed Viegel is in charge of the sta.
ton, but he closes it up every night
after the 1888 train goes through and
for the remainder of the night the
station is under the guard of the men
IN charge of the various trains pass
ing through the city. When the 1898
train, the last to pass through Kenosha
at night, went through this morning
no attempt had been made to break
into the station, but the robbery was
discovered when Agent Viegel went to
work this morning. The BURGLARS had
entered the place by forcing open one
of the windows at the side of the sta
ton and once in the place they made
thorough search One of the win
doWs leading into the candy stand in
the station was broken open and the
cash drawer OF the place was looted.
In this the burglars found just four
cents In change. Not satisfied with
this they went to the closet in which
was installed the pay telephone and
breaking open TINS closet they broke
open the cash box of the telephone and
got the small change that had been
left in it. This box had been opened
only few days before and there was
only a small amount left in the box,
The heaviest damage in the burglary
was done to the telephone instrument.
The men got away long before the
agent arrived and left behind no clue
that would aid the police in locating
them, The men in charge of the sta
ton seem assured that the work was
done by local parties and they believe
that it was the work of some of the
boys who loaf about the station in the
evening. The police seem to think it
possible that the burglary was COM
mltted by an organized gang which
makes it a business to rob these sta
tions The waiting rooms of the Chi
cago and Milwaukee as well as many
other electric railways IN this section
have been repeatedly entered by burg
lars and the fact that they are usually
on the outskirts of the cities make
them easy of access to the burglars.
The company has for some time been
seeking to locate the men responsible
for these robberies. In some Of the
robberies the men have secured. large
sums of money for their trouble, but in
most cases they have secured only
small amount of merchandise and
money. No effort was made to take
any Of the stock from the stand at the
Kenosha station.
The police of the city are making
every possible effort to locate and ar
rest the men connected with the burg
larry.

TWO CONVICTIONS FOR MUIR
DER.

During the week there have been two
convictions by jury for murder, one be-
ing a white man and the other a negro.
The white nah, ]. c. Fulton, was con-
victed without capital punishment, and
the negro, Dosh Mitchell, was found
guilty as charged which carries the
death penalty by hanging.
1t is frequently said that only negroes
are hanged, but this is not borne out
by the records While it is true that
white men have escaped the death PEN
atty, negroes tried for horrible crimes
have also enjoyed this immunity from
the hangman's rope.
In the two cases of murder there is
some notable difference. The two cases
do not stand in parallel.
The crime for which Dosh Mitchell
was convicted was executed with calm
de1iberation. He had quarreled with
his victim, Reuben Douglas, negro,
during a game of ''pit-a-pat'' on the
morning of*August 2o. The two men
had a fight but neither was injured.
The men were separated and went On
their way On the afternoon of Au-
gust 20, Mitchell sought Douglas with
a shotgun which he poked through a
creek of a fence and fired deliberately
at Douglas, who had not seen him or
suspected his presence. This was de-
liberate murder and the verdict of the
jury is therefore responsive to the evil
dence and the law.
In the Fulton case the moderation or
qualification of the verdict of the jury
is sustained by the facts.
Fulton, man of highstrung temper,
had shot at a chicken and missed it..
This provoked the risibles of John
Howard, who was at Fulton's home
near Vivian. In an instant he was
reused to fury so great that he broke
up and destroyed all things he could
reach In this temper he reloaded his
gun and fired at Howard, who was
|
killed
The difference in the two cases is
that Mitchell was cool and deliberate,
while Fulton murdered his friend in the
heat of passion.
The conviction of Fulton was sur
prising to him and his friends, who had
alleged the usual plea of self-defense te
an irrational mind, equivalent to insan-
ity It is well that the jury was not
misled or moved by the plea. The only
security against men who kill and
murder when moved by what is some
times styled spontaneous insanity is te
hang them or to send them to the pen
for life.

quite that the safer, and therefore the
better example for the parent to give
is not temperance, which is good, but
total abstinence which is better.
Let children out of love for the
parents be total abstainers. Unquestion-
ably they are the most devoted children
who always seek for the comfort, peace
of soul and east of mind of their par
ents. 1t is clear that one of the best
assurances that children can give to
their parents in these days, especially
for the young man to give to his anx-
ious mother, is the promise of total abb
stinence.
Let the husband and wife out OF
love for each other be total abstainers.
They certainly are the most loving and
faithful man and wife who will make
any sacrifice and self-denial for guard
ing, sanctifying their mutual love and
sacramento duties. Here is promise
that is strong guarantee against IN
fidelity, that is a safeguard of the best
interests of the home, that insures and
protects the sacred intinacies of their
mutual relations from unholy desecra-
ton
In a word, parents, children, hus-
bands and wives are truer to the respec-
tive states in life, all things ese being
equal, when total abstainers. This is
the plea | make for the total abstinence,
the plea of love, and who can turn a
deaf ear to it2
There is yet one more appeal to
make, and I am done. It's the dying
form of Jesus Christ, hanging on the
cross. Not the least of his terrible sui
| ferings during those dread hours or
Calvary was a thirst so agonizing thai
! it drew from Him the first complaint
| in those three hours of torture. APP
peal to you as devoted Christians il
honor of the sacred thirst OF Christ tc
be total abstainers. Stand beneath tht
cross and hear that plaintive moan
scarcely audible, as it is spoken by
tongue swollen with parching thirst
and let your sympathetic response BE-
that for love of your dying Christ yor
will be total abstainers.
With such an appeal who, claiming t.
be self-respecting, will hesitate as to hi
duty?
The presentation of this question BY
Father Skinner, as he has, will strength
en- the cause of prohibition, whose pur-
pose is to destroy the saloon and the
traffic in intoxicants
Who are the benefciaries of the
saloon, through whose influence intern
perance is encouraged?
Who are the men who profit from

Of broken hearted mothers, wives, wild
ows and orphans?
Let the cry henceforth be total alb
stinence,n not merely temperance no
/ prohibition, but total abstinence

SUIT NOT WITHDRAWN.

Company by Looney & Seheen, repre-
senting the city and assisting City At
torney Butler, has not been withdrawn.
The resolution of the Council, passed on
the motion of Councilman Bodenheimer
is ineffective and no attention is being
given to it. The purpose of the suit is
to compel the Traction Company to
grant transfers as will serve the public
interest As a fact there is no PROPOSE
ton before the Council from the Trac-
ton Company, and to suggest OF to di-
rect the withdrawal of this suit is, to
say the least, premature if not out of

is not understood by the people Why
should the interests of the city and of
the people be jeopardized by the with
drawal of suit which is intended to
reach and to accomplish a specific pur
pose.
