Nellie Nichols
Is Captivating
Coincidence

Nellie Nichols, the headliner on
the Orpheum bill which opens
with the matinee this afternoon, is
the only Grecian Coincidence on
the vaudeville stage today. AT one
time, before entering upon her
present career, she was the official
interpreter in the New York
courts. She is dainty, captivating
and has a voice which wins at
the start. Her magnetic personal
ity and her unique way of getting
her songs over the footlights has
figured as prominently in her sue
cess as her voice.

Walsh scores in slang part that

MISSING LINK IN
STORY SOMEWHERE

All is not peace and harmony in
the second hand business.
This morning Barney Marcus,
who conducts a second hand store
next door to Edward Houchins, an
other dealer in the same line of
business, rushed into the police
court in search of a warrant.
Barney told Clerk Rainford that
Mrs. Houchins, wife of his COM
petitor, had stationed herself in
front of his place and, armed with
second hand pitchfork, had re-
fused to let him emerge from his
store. Rainford couldn't under
stand how Barney got down to the
station if Mrs. Houchins had re-
fused ITO let him out. There was a
missing link to the story some
where, so Mr.. Rainford told Barney
to go back and get some witnesses
who could testify that they saw the
affair."

tons in vaudeville will be seen at
the Orpheum commencing the

Star ofFan1e

Ralph e. Cummings, who will be
seen at the Pantages all the week
with his own company in THE Type

the theatrical world to require
much introduction. AS dramatic
star his name is household word
in all the large cities of the states
and eastern Canada, he having
been the star of his own stock
company for three years at the
Princess theater, Toronto, and also
at the Academy Theater Francois,
Montreal. A large salary and a
less strenuous life tempted him to
desert the life of legitimate and
his success in vaudeville is well

La Toilette Expectedto Have
His Way in the Making of
Wisconsin Appointments
M'ELR0Y FOR DIST. ATTORNEY

Reports are in circulation to theNef-
feet that President William H. Taft
has decided that the LaFollette brand
of Republicanism in Wisconsin must
be accepted as regular and that in the
future there will be no question as to
the right Of Senator Robert M. La
Toilette and the Wisconsin congress
men who have followed his banner to
make the selections for appointments
which they would be naturally entitled
to make from this state.
If this report is correct it means
that none of the candidates who have
been recently figuring on sitting in the
office of United States district attorney
for the Eastern district of Wisconsin
will get the place but that instead the
appointment will go to William j. Nc
Elroy, who was originally recommend
ed for the position by Senator LaFol-
lette but whose appointment was hung
up in Washington and whom leading
stalwarts have said would never get
the place.
In fact, despite the fact that under
the patronage arrangement between
Senator Stephenson and LaFollette
the latter should make the appoint
ments for the Eastern Wisconsin dis
trict, E. J. Henning, W. H. Bennett and
A. c. Umbreit have been active can
didates for the United States district
attorneyship with the expectation that
recommendations form anti-LaF Toilette
men would govern the selection.
The appointment to the United
States district attorneyship must be
made in the near future, as under the
terms of his resignation, II. K. Butter

States district attorney, retires from
office Oct. l.

POLICE FOLLOW IN AUTOS
Discover Their Mistake Just as Officers
Are Ready to Make Arrest of Rev
erend Gentleman and His Companion
From Kenoshas

Reports from Racine today indicate
that Kenosha Catholic priest and a
Kenosha physician had an interesting
break in the monotony of their lives In
the Belle City on Thursday when the
police of Racine made the grave mis-
take of taking the Reverent gentleman
and the physician for horse thieves and
laboring under this impression made
them the features of an exciting auto
mobile chase. Neither of the men was
arrested but the Racine police discover
ed their error just in time TO prevent
the arrests being made. The Racine
News tells the story of the incident as
follows:
can Italian physician and an Ital-
ian priest, both Of Kenosha, came near
landing in the county Jail yesterday
afternoon because the physician was
suspected of having the horse and bug
gy stolen from DR.. Collins. At clock
yesterday afternoon a telegraph message
was received at the police station from
the No. 3 fire engine station to the eff
feet that a horse and buggy answering
the description of the property stolen
from DIR. Collins had just passed the
fire engine station and was going east
on Sixth street. Police officers leaped
into the police department IS automobile,
while others held up an automobile
which was being driven along Main
street. The two automobiles were hur-
ried after the supposed horse thieves
and on Sixth street near Wisconsin
street, the police came up with the sus-
poets. A parade was then formed with
the police department. IS automobile at
the head Of the line then came the
horse and buggy supposed to belong to
DR.. Collins, and driven by well dress
ed man. Then came second rig driven
by man in the garb Of a priest and
the second automobile had the tail End
Of theparade which moved slowly north
on Main street. When in front of the
Racine theatre the parade was halted
and the officers questioned the man in
the first buggy and found that he was
an Italian physician of Kenosha and
that the man in the second buggy was
an Italian priest. The police hastily
returned to the station.''

Miss Minnie Mueller WEEDS
Adolphus Sinnett, Form
er Police Officer
SEND LETTERS TO FRIENDS

Letters received in Kenosha on
Thursday afternoon announced the mar
riage of Miss Minnie Mueller for~+he
past seven years stenographer at the
offices Of the N. R. Allen s Sons Com.
pany and Adolphus Sinnett, formerly
a member of the Kenosha Police force
and lately janitor at the First National
Bank Building. The letters give, no
details of the marriage but indicate
that Mr.. and Mrs. Sinnett are spending
their honeymoon at Marinette. The
company for which Mrs. Sinnett had
formerly worked have received a little
note from her resigning her position
and stating that she was recently mar
ried. She apologies for not giving
notice of her retirement after so MANY
years of service but admits that her
marriage to Sinnett was the cause Of
her going away without other notice.
For several days there has been rum
or about the city that Sinnett and Miss
Mueller had clipped but the letters were
the first positive announcement that had
been made of the marriage. Miss
Mueller and Sinnett left Kenosha on
last Saturday at noon and it is supposed
that they were married at some point
in Michigan as it would have been i'm
possible for them to have married at
Marinette or any other Wisconsin city
the law providing that the license for
a marriage between Wisconsin people
must be Secured at the county seat of
the county in which the bride resides.
The announcement of the marriage
was a great surprise to the friends Of
Mrs. Sinnett as she had not confided her
plans to any of her friends and it lis
limited that her marriage to the form
er police officer had been vigorously
opposed by the members of her family
on account of the difference in the ages
of the bride and groom. This is the
second time that Mr. Sinnett has en-
barked upon the matrimonial sea he
having been divorced from a former
wife in the Circuit Court of Kenosha
county some three years ago and the
former Mrs. Sinnett and her children
are still living in Kenosha. Sinnett re-
signed his position as janitor Of the
First National Bank week ago today
and it is not expected that he will re-
turn to Kenosha with his bride until
after an extended honeymoon trip. No
announcement has been made by either
Mr.. or Mrs. Sinnett as to where they
will make their home but it IS supposed
that they will make their home in Keno
sha.
