ARREST FOR PIANIST.
Man Who Reads the Future Charged
With Abusing Little Girl.

Prof. Cheiro, a palmist, who de-
clares that he has travelled widely over
the country, was arrested late Tuesday
night by Chief of Police 0 Hare on a
charge of using abusive and improper
language t9 Annie Simon, fourteen
year old daughter Of Max Simon, the
proprietor of store on East Market

~. II. Norris and he was booked
under that name. He spent the night
in the city lookup and this morning he
declared to the chief Of police that he
could not remember anything that he
had done on the previous evening. He
asserted that he had left his wife and
daughter in Beloit and had come here
with view of opening an office. He
admitted that he had taken one drink
during the evening and that his long
abstaining from liquors caused this one
drink to go to his head and incapaci-
tate him. The professor was arraigned

WIFE ASKS DIVORCE.
Prominent People of the Town of Bris-
tol to Figure in Divorce Courts.

Curtis J. Lavey, one of the best
known residents of the village Of Bris-
tol, was named as a defendant in an
action for divorce brought by his wife,
Cora Lavey, in the circuit court for
Kenosha county today. The papers in
the case were filed by County Judge
George W. Taylor, who represents the
plaintiff. The complaint alleges that
Lavey and his wife, who is daughter
of Charles Higgins of Pleasant Prairie,
were married i'll that town on October
25, 1898. The wife charges that for
the past ten years the husband has
been habitual drunkard and that for
many years he has contributed nothing
to her support. There are two children
to the union and the wife asks that she
be awarded the custody of the children
and be awarded alimony in the discre-
tion of the court. The plaintiff and
defendant are both widely known
throughout the county and the suit will
cause something of a sensation. tt will
come up for trial at the September
term of the circuit court.

Play Grounds Ass'ns in All
Parts Of Country Taking
Up Work of Boy Scouts
kENOSHA may FOLLOW LEAD

The directors of the playground as
ISOLATION of America and the secre-
taries of local playground associations
throughout the country have taken up
the Boy Scout movement, because they
find it a great help. They look upon
the scout activities as a means of in
teresting the boys in healthy exercise
and keeping them away from evil in
fluences. Many secretaries have writ
ten to James f. West, executive secre-
tary Of the Boy Scouts Of America,
telling them of their interest in the
scout movement, and how they use the
scout activities.
E. B. De Groot, general director of
field houses and Fairgrounds in Chica-
go, says that he is utilizing the scout
activities in that city and has been
active in the organization of several
scout troops. He says in a letter to
Secretary West: 'sAs a group of play
ground workers, we look upon the
scout program as good supplementary
element to inject into our playground
work. We receive it as just so much
material which may be used as we now
use basketball, track athletics and
wrestling"
DIR, K. A. Peterson of Cleveland, who
formerly was leader of public school
playground and who organized a troop
of boy scouts, writes: "The value of
this sort of thing in getting close to
fellows is inestimable.
Edward w. Stitt, district superinten-
dent department of education, New
York City, has encouraged the organi-
zation of boy scout patrols in the pub
lie schools. Edgar S. Martin, secretary
department of public recreation, of
Columbus, Ohio, has been the best
worker III that city in the organization
of boy scout troops. The Columbus de-
partment of recreation has helped the
boy scout organization by buying camp
ing outfits for the boys, and hiring an
expert to take charge of the camp this
summer. Martin writes I'VE find the
men who work in our Fairgrounds very
anxious to do all they can for the boys,
and to make the boy sslf-reiant. This
cooperation brings men in touch with
boys not only through the summer
months, but during the entire year.
We prefer these men in our Fairgrounds
AMI find that through the working to-
gether of the two, these men are much
more valuable to US as playground
workers as well as helpful TO the scout
movement.

Employees of Postoffices of
Country Agitate Adoption
Of the Pension System
.RE-ARRANcE The BUSINESS

1t is admitted in postal circles that
the postofice department, under the
direction of Postmaster General Hitch
cock, has started a campaign of econ
omy in the large postofices of the
country, the same as has been done in
the railroad postal department
quietly and the new system has been
inaugurated in but few of the larger
eastern offices. However, the depart
ment intends reaching all the offices as
early as possible. Business methods
will be re-arranged and put upon a
scientific basis.
This is in accordance with the gen
eral plan of economy of the present
administration. 1t has proven effective
so far as evidenced by the recent an
+nouncement of balance in the treas
ury, something heretofore unheard Of
in the postal department.
However, the result has been to
throw many old employees out of Office
and also to drop others who have been
il the service long enough to
secure q steady position. In many
cases old and worthy employees have
been discharged and general com
plant has arisen as consequence.
Inspection Of many Offices, has dis
closed the fact that there are many I'M
necessary employees, and by changing
methods the surplus help has been dis
pensed with. Everywhere possible the
newest men in the Offices were dropped
back. In other cases where it was
apparent that more employees were
needed the Office was authorized to put
on the additional help.

in the town of Pleasant Prairie to-
gether with a barn and several other

surprising rapidity and in short time
they had doomed all the buildings on

but a short time ago. The loss is plac-
ed at $4,000 with partial insurance.
Kraft is employed at the plant of the

OBJECT TO CHANGE.
Railroads Seek to Change Minimum
Shipments from 10000 to $4,000 Lbs.

Manufacturers Of agricultural nipple
ments and vehicles throughout the
country are wrought up over propos-
ed change by railroads operating in the
western territory in minimum weights
on car load shipments, and it is ex-
pected that existing differences event
ualIy will be placed before the inter
state commerce commission for adjust
ment.
The minimum named by the carriers
at present in order to obtain carload
rating OH agricultural implements and
vehicles is 10000 pounds, and a plan
is now before tie meeting of the west
ern classification committee in Milwau-
l1ee, to chang that, figure to $4,000
pounds for car thirty-six feet long.
The new arrangement also provides that
for forty-foot cars the minimum shall
be 26,SS0 pounds, for forty four-foot
cars 29,760 pounds and for ffty-foot
cars 34,0S0' pounds.
It is pointed out that manufacturers
of agricultural implements and vehicles
now have thousands of orders based on
a 10000 minimum for carload rating
and the proposed alteration, it is de-
clared, would lead to much inconveni-
ence and expense.
It is contended by the railroads that
the effect of the proposed changes prac-
tically will be nullifed by special rates
that have been granted.

SCALE PLATFORM WRECKED.
Big Auto Truck Of Simmons Mfg. Co
Goes Through Scale Platform.

The big auto truck owned by the
Simmons Manufacturing company, la
den with burden of more than two
tons, went through the platform of the
Jacob s scale at the corner of Market
Square and Church street just after sew
en- O'Clock this morning. The driver
of the truck had swung about into
Church street and when the truck
struck the scale platform it collapsed. A
force of twenty men was brought up
from the Simmons factory and after a
half an hour the truck was unloaded
and released. The platform Of the
scale will have to be rebuilt entirely,
but it is said that the mechanism of
the scale was not injured. It is prob
able that the city will insist that the
scale when rebuilt be braced with
steel beams.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY ABB ENT
It is Alleged that One of the Principal
Witnesses for the State Disappeared
from Hospital Only a Few Days
Ago.
(From Wednesday Daily.)

Ao1ly'J
Mrs. Esther Olive Huff, former wife
of Roy D. Huff, and Michael Abrams,
the well known tailor arrested two
weeks ago on serious statutory charges
were discharged from custody in the
municipal court this morning without
a hearing. The adjourned hearing of
the case had been set for nine O'Clock
this morning and Mrs Huff, gowned in
a summer dress and wearing a big
picture hat, was in court before the
hour set for the case. Abrams and his
attorney appeared few minutes later
and the defendants waited in court
until after ten O. CLOCK for the district
attorney to appear and prosecute the
charges. District Attorney Hastings
did not put in an appearance and his
Office was not represented in court
when the case was called. Attorney
Stewart, who appeared for the two de-
PENDANTS, made motion to the court
that the defendants be discharged on
the grounds that the district attorney
had failed to appear and that no evil
dence had been presented against either
Mrs. Huff OF Abrams. In dismissing
the action Judge Randall stated that
he had been advised by the district
attorney that he would not appear and
that he was willing to have the case
dismissed
In connection with the dismissal of
the case it was stated that young
woman who had been counted on as the
principal witness of the state had sud
denly left Kenosha. The young woman
in question had been a patient in a
hospital and when the district attor-
ney sought to find her on Tuesday it
was discovered that she had left the
hospital without leaving any address.
Members of the Huff family had taken
no part in the prosecution of the
charges against the former Mrs. Huff
and the former husband was not in
court when the case was called for the
final hearing this morning.
A few hours before the preliminary
hearing of Mrs. Huff was called Judge
Randall had signed the decree Of divorce
in which the husband, Roy D. Huff,
was granted decree with a provision
that the divorce should not become abb
solute in less than one year and bear
ing prohibition against the marriage
of either of the parties to the action
within that time. In the decree of di-
voree the charges brought by the hus-
band in which he alleged cruel and
inhuman treatment and infdelity were
found to be true and the name of
Abrams was mentioned in the final di-
vorce decree. This decree was filed by
Attorney R. V. Baker, who represented
the husband in the divorce action.
Mrs. Huff and Abrams had no part
in the little hearing at the court this
morning and neither of them was even
asked to plead to the charges which
had been filed against them. 1t is
probable that Mrs. Huff will 60 to
Madison to make her home with rela-
tives living near that city.
