Miss Marie Cans and AM
brose O'Brien Married at
Flint, Mich, Saturday
BRIDE WENT TO VISIT At FLINT

Cards were received in Kenosha TO-
day announcing the marriage of Am
brose C. O'Brien, formerly an en-
ployee in the office of the Simmons
Manufacturing Company, but now
holding an important position with a
manufacturing concern at Flint, Mich.
and Miss Marie Cans, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Cans, we'll known on
the west side of the city. The mar
riage took place at Flint, Mich, on
last Saturday morning and the an
nouncement came as surprise to even
the closest friends and relatives, of
the bride and groom. Miss Cans had
left home few days before to go to
Flint for short visit with relatives
and she had given no suggestion of
her marriage to even her closest
friends. Miss Cans and Mr.. o 'Brien
had been friends for some time and
it had been limited that they were en-
gagged to be married, but it was gen
orally understood that the wedding
was not to take place until the early
summer.
Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien left Flint on
Saturday evening for a short honey
moon trip to New York and other
eastern cities after which they will
make their home at AIS East First
street in Flint.
Both the bride and groom are well
known to many people in Kenosha and
while the announcement of their mar
riage came as great surprise they
will have the best wishes of large
circle of friends.

NORTH SIDE IN OPPOSITION
Proposition to Issue Bonds for a New
City Hall Also Wins by a Large
Majority and New Building Will be
Built This Year,

The voters of the city declared
themselves in no uncertain manner in
regard to the need of trunk sewer
on the west and southwest sides of
the city on Tuesday and as a result
of the referendum vote the decks are
cleared for action and the common
council may now proceed to the build
ing of the sewer with the assurance
that the plan is favored by the people
Of the city.
The proposition to issue bonds for
the sewer was carried by vote of
1170 to GIT. Four of the eight wards
voted in favor of the sewer PROPOSE
tion, the opposition being confined to
the Fifth ward and the three wards
to the north of the river, but at that
some of the people of the north side
showed patriotic spirit and declared
themselves in favor Of project which
would benefit the whole city In the
Sixth ward the sewer proposition was
defeated by only three votes while on
the whole north side where it was de-
clared that no one would favor the
city sewer the proposition was voted
down by less than 200 votes. In the
south wards of the city the vote was
just as strong for the sewer. While
this vote is not binding the city coun-
Gil can now go ahead and make plans
for the sewer with the assurance that
when the question of the bond issue
is given to the people for a final vote
that it will be favorable.
Kenosha is also going to have new
city hall as a result of the voting on
Tuesday for the proposition to issue
bonds to the amount of $4,000 won
by vote almost as large as the sewer
vote. The plans for the city hall are
now in the hands of the building com
mittee of the council and there is no
doubt but that the matter will be call
ed up Immediately after the organiza-
tion of the new council and that i'm
mediate steps will be taken to start
the building in order to make possible
its completion within another year.
The committee has reported in favor
of accepting plans drawn by Joseph
Lindl and it is thought that the build
ing suggested by Mr.. Lindl can be
erected in the $4,000 limit set by
the vote of the people. The vote on
this question was surprise as it was
thought that the city hall bonds would
carry practically without opposition.
The Eighth ward, however, was the
only ward in the city to vote against
the building of the new building. The
vote on these two questions was as
follows:

POST LIST OF sIGNERs.
Saloon Men of the City Will Give All
a List of Men Who Wanted Dry.

Saloon men of the city are deter
mined that the keepers of saloons shall
know just who was responsible for
Kenosha voting on the license ques-
tion and this morning John Orth, presi
dent of the Retail Liquor Dealers AS
ISOLATION, started about the city with a
published list of the names of every
man who signed the "dry" petitions.
This list bears no caption and some Of
the men whose names appear are in
clined to regard it as an "insolent
boycott" of these people but others
declare that the list is a "RolI Of
Honor" Social democrats in the city
were numerous on the petition and
they promise to make things hum as
they declare that they signed the petit
ton because it was their principle to
submit every question of this sort to
a referendum.

MAKES GOOD RECORD.

Judge Belden is receiving the con-
graduation of the attorneys today on
account of the fact that out of nine
cases which were decided by the sup
rene court on Tuesday and which had
been formerly decided in this circuit
but one was reversed. Many of these
eases were very important ones and
the only one reversed was the case of
Donahue VS.. Gunther in which the
Judge decided that the case should be
non-suited. This circuit had a large
number of actions in the supreme court
calendar and the record for Judge Bel
den is very complimentary one.

 The boy said his name was Eddie Holman, that he was 14 years old and that he had been with the safe. blower for four months, robbing stores and postoffices in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. He said they had robbed the postoffice at Warren, Arkansas, the night before he was captured.
 He remained in jail for several weeks at Rison, Ark, the county seat of Cleveland county. Rison was the town in which Mrs. de Jarnette lived when her baby was stolen, years ago.
 Women who heard of the boy in jail flocked there and took a motherly interest in him. One wo- man asked him who his parents were, and he replied that he did not know.

SAID HE WAS HER
 l0NG. LOST SON Boy Bandit Confesses to Deception He Played on
 Borrowing Mother
FOOLED THE OFFICERS
Who Set Him Free-Is Finally Re. turned to Jail and Sent to
 Reform School

The following story of boy bandit whose exploits occurred in Arkansas was published in the Post Dispatch recently.
 Mrs. Nina de Jarnette. recently made happy by the belief that she had recovered her kidnapped son, and later distressed by the criminal tendencies of tho S15-year-old boy. has now learned she was misled by the intuition on which she relied, and that he is not her child.
 The boy, Eddie Holman. confessed the imposture to Post-Dispatch reporter while he was in St. Louis on his way from Little Rock, Ark. to Washington, to serve three year sentence in the Federal Re- form School for postoffice robbery.
 Mrs. de Janerette now lives in Memphis. Eddie Holman, in telling his story. seemed to find great amusement in the way in which he duped her into thinking him her son whom she had lost in infancy.
 Uses Criminals Slang.
 Eddie Holman is small for his age is we'll dressed and good looking. He talks we'll. though he often re. sorts to the slang of criminals as being more expressive.
 He gathered the entire story from what has been told him by post
 office inspectors. and the woman who thought she was his mother.
 The story gathered from him. with the order re-arranged to start at the beginning, is as follows:
 Mrs. de Jarnetts and her husband separated three months before tho birth of their child. boy. This was nearly fifteen years ago. The de Jarnettes were then living in small town in Arkansas. Aftsr the hus- lard left hsr. she did not hear Of him again.
 The child was named Felix. and when 3 years old. was stolen from the doorsteD of tho deoertsd womAn's homo -in ArkAnses. For months the mother searched for the child, but could obtain no tracs of him. fsars l ago che abandoned hope.

Wrote to Supposed Mother

This woman after minute exami- nation of his features, declared her belief that he was the long lost son of her old neighbor, Mrs. de Jarnette and she wrote to Mrs. de Jarnette who had moved to Memphis a num- ber of years before.
 Mrs. de Jarnette hurried to the Arkansas village and the moment she saw the boy threw her arms abou' him and hugged him to her bosom with all the love of the mother for her child. When she had dried her tears she added to the Identification of her mother love had given, by ex- amining scars on his head and body, which she remembered. Holman had all the scars and admitted that for ali he knew he was Mrs. de Jar-I nette's son.
 She begged the officers to let him gc with her to Memphis and he prom ised that he would never again dol anything wrong. He took the name of Filix de Jarnette.
 In the meantime, Posrofrice in- spectors Patterson of St. Louis and Kline of Memphis have been searching for the boys instruc- tor in the robberies. When they were asked to permit Mrs. de Jar nette to take the boy home with her to Memphis they agreed. expressing the opinion that the boy had been but a tool, and that the influences of mothers home might overcome the results of his years on tAe streets and his months of crime.
 Tells His Story.
 He told the inspectors that he did not remember his father or mother but that his early childhood was spent with an aged man and woman in a small town in Illinois. Whom he was eight years old. he said. they died. and strange man gave him a| ticket to Chicago aud told him he| would have to hustle for himself inl the future.
 He wont to Chicago and cold papers for several years and finally drifted to New Orleans. where hel became acquainted with Frask Hyde. an ex-convicG who taught him tho mysteries of the art q safe-blowing. He said he had aided Hyde iu numerous robberies. and offered to help inspectors capture Hyde. This he did at Hammond. La.. but before the time for the trail the boy. who vas the sn'e visness. disappeared. Hyde was not informed of the sItua- tion. and agreed to enter | pIeg cf

This Orchard a Criterion.

Although our orchard has made many good records in the past few years, it's record for the season just closed is in itself a criterion of what an Oregon orchard can do. This orch ard shipped 40 carloads of pears from 4S acres. of 500 boxes per car. which averaged g per box at the orchard, or about $40.000 for the crop. The Bartletts netted $1,000 per acre. and for the past nine years on an average have netted $500 per acre. One car load of these pears sold for $4.25 per box in New York. An apple orchard consisting of only three and one half acres, south of Portland, netted $4.20o this last year.
 There Is not the slightest danger that the apple crop will exceed the demand. The reason is very simple and easy to demonstrate by means of . lev figureA in 1906 the apple crop In the United Sbates amounted to 67. .00O. 900 barrels. In mo- year has It exceeded thiA and the crop for the present season will hardly reach that figure. Thousands q cores of orchard land in New York. vipsinia, Indiana.

apple is wrapped in tissue paper, a piece of cardboard being laced be- tween each layer, which keeps each ap- pie separate from the others so that if one should have tendency to spoil 1t does not contaminate the rest. The growers name, the number of tiers in the box and the variety is stamp ed on the outside, and all apples must be of uniform size throughout the box.
 "The fruit growers associations generally sells the entire crop to. one commission house making the hign- est bid for the product. The entire crop of the Hood River district, which is but one small part of the apple country of the Northwest, amounting to 150 cars, each car averaging be- tween 600 and $50 boxes sold for $2.25 to $2.50 per box, f. o. b. Hood river. These apples were shipped directly to New York, supplying the fancy trade of London, Paris, Berlin and eastern American cities. The Rouge river shipment of Comice pears this year brought $500 a box at auction in New York City.
 Tt is hard for an customer to comprehend the yield in dollars and cents from Oregon orchards. Land is selling at from $500 to $3,50o per acre. according to the age of the trees and their bearing qualities. A St. Louis man several days ago paid $1,- 900 for 10 acres in two and three year old Newtown trees, and there were mo improvements on the place. A Philadelphia firm recently purchas- ed 100 acres for $105,o00 and 605- acre orchard at Medtord, Ore, sold February 16 last for $500,00o spot cash.

who see a chance of making money out
of him

The fact that Burns and Suggs. two
American League castoffs, are pitching
winning ball in the National League does
not indicate that the old league is not
as fast as the American. True, Burns
and Suggs did not perform brilliantly IN
this company though it was always con-
ceded that Burns was pitcher or class.
He seems to be taking more interest in
his work now than formerly, probably
because an inducement has been made
him to do SO. Suggs' success is a real
surprise, for he was not much OF pitcn-
err for Detroit.
But speaking of American League
pitchers making good in the National
League, there are also several National
League castoffs starring in the American
League. There is karger. for instance
He was let out because he could not win,
and drifted to a minor league. from
which Boston secured him. The same is
true of Young Cy Young. now with the
White Sox, and incidentally with Hall OF
Boston, who could not pitch winning ball
for Cincinnati nor even Columbus, for
that matter.
So the fact that a pitcher fails in one
league and makes good in another does
| not necessarily give a line on the relative
strength of the two leagues.
Ty Cobb will have to do some tall bat
ting from this out, and Lajoie will have
to take a slump for Tyrus to be the
recipient OF that autOmoDlie TINS lali
Lajoie, however. is showing no signs OF
stopping his. wonderful hitting. He sell
dom goes through a game without a hit
or two, and just to vary the monotony
he occasionally tears off four. The
beauty about Lajoie's hitting is that he
does not get many scratches. 1t is not
his speed which helps his batting, but his
bingles are good, hard clouts. But the
race between the two leading batsmen is
becoming very interesting, and it will
be even more SO as the close of the sea-
son draws nearer.
