CRIME SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
Windows and Doors are Found Locked
After Visit From the Thieves and it
Seems Impossible to Find How They
Entered the House.

There is deep mystery connected
with the robbery of the parish house
of st. George church which took place
on last Sunday night, but the facts
in connection with the burglary were
not made public until today. The
police admit that they have been at
work at the case for the last two days
but they insist that they have not
been able to find any clue to the guilty
parties. or to find out the way that
the entrance was made to the house.
The thieves got away with a gold
watch and SIS belonging to the Rev.
B. Elskamp and two other watches be-
longing to the members of the house
hold. The burglary was evidently
committed between eight and nine
o'clocl Sunday night.
Father Elskamp and the members
of his household had gone to st.
George church to attend a play given
under the auspices of the young peo-'
pie of the church and they returned
home to find that the rooms had been
visited. Drawers had been forced
open and their contents emptied out
on the floor. It is evident that the
burglars were seeking only jewelry
and money, as the plate and silver in
the dining room of the house was not
molested. Tt was evident that the
house had been visited by burglars
and Father Elskamp at once started
out to flfd filow the antTa1se was made.
Here comes the mystery. He found
that all the doors were locked and the
windows were fastened from the in
side just as they had been left when
the members of the household went to
the play. In fact the police have not
as yet discovered how any one could
have got into the house. There were
no broken locks and the windows were
found securely fastened. 1t is thought
possible that a sneak thief might have
concealed himself in the house during
the day, but this is regarded as very
unlikely as some one is in the house
nearly all day. The articles taken from
the house were valued in the neighbor-
hood of $50 and cards have been sent
out to other cities asking that an eff
fort be made to recover the property.
The parish house is located at one
Of the most prominent corners in the
city and scores of people must have
passed the place while the burglars
were at work. No one seems to have
seen any one of suspicious nature
about the house during the night and
the burglars did their work with such
care that they left absolutely no clews
behind them. 1t is thought possible
that the crime was committed by some
one who was well acquainted with the
actions of the priest, but there is no
certain person toward whom the finger
of suspicion is pointed.
Father Elskamp had many callers
during the day and it might have been
possible for thief to have been ad-
mitted to the house by one Of these
callers.

GONNERNANN FOR SENATOR
Kenosha County Offices are Proving
Attractive Plums to Men Who
Like to Dabble in the Political
Arena

Before the smoke Of battle attend
ing the spring election has cleared
away the curb stone politicians have
begun to make plans for the coming
fall election and already candidates
for county and legislative Offices are
being mentioned and ii is expected that
before the close of another month the
county politicians will begin the work
Of making up the tickets The sue
cess Of the Democracy in the city at
the election held a week ago has arous
ed a new interest among the Democrats
and they profess to see good reason
to believe that it might be possible to
elect some Democrats for county and
legislative Offices.
1t is generally believed that the fight
Cor the honor of representing the first
district in congress will be between
Congressman H. A. Cooper who has
long represented the district in Wash
ington and Wallace ingalls, of Racine
who gained reputation as a member
of the assembly. Ingalls, is now in
Europe, but he will sail for home in
few days and he is expected to open
an active campaign just as soon as he
reaches Racine. Next in order will
come the election of state senator
to represent Racine and KenOsha c0un-
ties and it is pretty certain that it
win be a Kenosha county man. Isaac
It. Bishop of Somers, the present repre-
sentative OF the district in the state
senate has been out as a candidate for.
many months and his campaign is now
well under way. Racine county will
present as its candidate Charles H.
Everett editor of the Wisconsin Ari-
culturist. 1t is probable that Keno
sha county will have another candi-
date for the nomination in the person
of Charles H. Gonucrmann. He has
been urged by his friends to enter the
race, but thus far has made no public
statement 1t is thought possible
that Mr.. Gonnermann will make a
formal announcement within a few
weeks If he should be the nominee
OF the party it would be the first time
that Kenosha has furnished a senator
i'm more than fifteen years. Mr. Con
hermann has held several city Offices,
but he has never been a candidate for
higher Office lie is widely known
IN both counties. Assemblyman Walk
err Nj. Cwtiss of Trevor, has made no
announcement that he will be a candi-
date for reelection and it is certain
that there will be an effort made to
secure the nomination of man from
the city as a candidate for member of
the assembly. Charles II. Pfennig
formerly sheriff of the county, is being
mentioned in this regard, but he only
smiles when the matter is preached and
his intention is not plain to his friends
and political adherents
Henry j. Hastings, the we'll known
Kenosha attorney, is being mentioned
among the Democrats as a candidate
Tor this office.
The big fight will be over the nomi-
nation of a sheriff. But one man has
been mentioned as yet for this nomina-
tion and that is Frank Marx, the saeri-

THE IRISH SENATOR
Next Sunday Matinee and Night at

The dialogue of "The Irish Sena-

interesting. The story abounds in
many comedy situations, which never
descend to horse play or vulgarity,
which is too often the cas- in many
of the so-called comedies, on the con
trary there is fund of wit and hum
or permeating the entire performance
which is distinctively enjoyable and
free from suggestiveness. Seats now

AT THE RHODE MONDAY

Those who have read the novel 'eThe
House of a Thousand Candles will
be glad to hear that it viii be present
ed in dramatic form at the Rhode
Opera House next Monday night.
The play is said to be unusually well
constructed and the characters we'll de-
veloped, and many of the lines are not
only amusing but brilliant. The
scenes and the situations have been
carefully conceived and the dramatic
interest extraordinary strong. The
Indianapolis News says: "No drama
made from a novel in recent years,
not even excepting When Knighthood
Was in Flower has been translated
to the stage with more ability or sue
cess.
The original Haekett Theatre, New
York, production will be seen here, and
the engagement should prove one of
the most suspicious dramatic offerings
of the season. DIV

UNCONSCIOUS ADVERTISING
Does It In Some Form or Other Says Mir. Van Camp.

Writing in the New York Commer cial, Frank Van Camp. of baked bean fame, says:
 When man advertises he ia generally supposed to use newspapers magazines. street car signs. billboards, van signs or circulars. or to demon. strate. or distribute samples.
 Tn my opinion. every business man. either retailer, jobber or manufactur. sr, aAvertises. but many of them arc Apparently unconscious of the fact.
 "A retailer could save rent by hay MG hh store In beck alley. but W11hing to attract the sttsntion ot . greeter nunbsr Of people. he locates on . prominent street and charges the excess rent to general expenses. rather than to his advertising account. where 1t properly belongs. When a merchant moves from side street to 2 prominent thoroughfare. it is be- cause he wants to advertise. When a merchant puts sign over his door or uses show window to display his wares, he is advertising. When the clerk behind the counter displays goods that have not been asked for by the prospective customer, he is adver- tising. The merchant who removes his business from the country village to the county seat, the man who moves from the county seat to the city, the manufacturer who increases his sales force from one man to ten. the man who extends his business from the local field to his state, from Q state to the national market, has in mind the extension of his field of op- eration. the seeing and talking with more people-in other words, adver- tising.
 T say again. every merchant and manufacturer advertises and believes In advertising. as without it in some form no business could survive for a year.
 "Any kind of an announcement by merchant or manufacturer that he has merchandise for sale or trade is advertising, but the announcement may be good. bad or indifferent, and may be profitable or unprofitable"
