OBSERVE cHMDREN's DAY.
Children of First Congregational Church
Have Annual Celebration Sunday.

With flowers banking the platform
and birds in their cages filling the air
with melody, the First Congregational
Sunday school celebrated another
Children s Day Sunday morning in
place of the usual morning worship.
The children of the kindergarten aud
primary departments were seated OF
the platform, enlarged for the occa-
sion, and they furnished much of the
program, with songs and Rotations.
A feature Of the program was the
Legend of the Daisies,'' a story told
by Miss Julia johnson to the little
children as she stood among them on
the platform looking down into their
.upturned faces. The Baptismal serv-
ice was especially pretty, as the par
ents with their babies came to the
front through a lane made by little
girls with outstrtched white ribbons,
led by one with a banner on which
was inscribed the text, FsSuffer the
Little Children to Come Unto Me.
At the presentation of Bibles to bap-
tized children over seven years of age,
the pastor, after telling little story
to illustrate the proper use of the
Bible, gave out about thirty finely
bound copies os the American Revised
Version. From the professional march,
when the children went down the cen
ter aisle under an arch made of he-
ribboned wands held in the hands of
the older girls, to the presentation of
potted plants in blossom, to the young
er pupils at the close, the program was
without a hitch, and much credit is
due to the committee of teachors
which had it in charge.

ACCIDENT ON ELIZABETH ST.
Assistant Chief of Police Newhouse
Has Badly Wrenched Leg as a Re
suit of the Accident-Po Police Use
Guns to Capture Disturbers.

Four members of the Kenosha police
department, Assistant Chief of Police
Joseph G. Newhouse and Patrolmen
Bradley, Breidt and Biennemann had q
narrow escape from severe injury just
after ten clock on Saturday night
when the patrol wagon collided with a
car of the Kenosha Electric Railway
Company at the corner of Fremont e-
nue. and Elizabeth street. The police
officers assert that the motorma u
charge of the car failed to see the pa
troll wagon at all and that it was en-
tirely due to the presence of mind of
driver William Biennemann that the
wagon was not smashed and the mem
bers of the department injured or killed.
As it was, the assistant chief met with
severe bruises, but he was able to be
at his desk today. The other members
of the force escaped unhurt. The patrol
wagon was taken to the shop for re-
pairs this morning.
The men had left the police station
to answer call at the extreme south
limits of the city and the ride proved
a wild one for several reasons. AS the
wagon approached the Elizabeth street
corner of Fremont avenue Driver Bien
nemann slowed down believing that the
crowd on the street had resulted in the
call for the "wagon, y the car was COM
ing from the west and Motorman Bo-
hanar in charge was busy wiping the
mist off the glass in the front of the
ear. Biennemann saw that it would be
almost impossible to avoid a collision
and whirled his patrol wagon around
and attempted to run west on Elizabeth
street. The car sideswiped the wagon,
but it did not turn over. Bradley and
Newhouse in the wagon were thrown
to the floor and Breidt was thrown
from the front seat. Biennemann man
aged to hold his place at the wheel.
The street car was not damaged and it
continued on it's trip.
The officers after getting started
again hurried out to the Dan Schmelling
store where it was alleged that bur
glary was being attempted. When they
reached the place they found crowd
of men supposed to be hangers-on from
the carnival standing on the sidewalk
making insulting remarks to women
who passed Officer Newhouse was too
seriously injured to take any part in
the arrests but the other three officers
went after the gang. The men scatter
ed in all directions and the officers
drew revolvers, and the appearance of
the guns seemed to put stop to the
trouble. Three of the men were ar
rested and they were sent to jail for
ten days with bread and water by
Judge Randall this morning.
The wrecking of the patrol wagon
and the gun play on the part of the
officers made the event fitting close
for carnival Great crowds of people
the streets when the men were
arrested and reports were sent down
town that burglary had been COM
mitted and that the men had been
caught after revolver battle.

with announcements made nearly a
year ago, is making a trial of freight

those paid at the present time. The

THOUSANDS OF DUCKS SOLD
Warden Kleist Admits Shipments Have
Been Made to This County But De
clares Evidence Of Violations of the
Laws Difficult to- Secure.

Deputy Game Warden Michael Kleist
returned to Kenosha at midnight Sat
urday night after a week of strenuous
work in Northern Wisconsin and in
company with L H. Boomer, superin-
tendent of the game wardens, he Sc
cured lot Of evidence which is to be
used in the conviction of spot hunt
ers.' Kleist today took up with the
federal officials the possible prosecu-
ton of men in several cities of the
state on charges Of conspiring to vio-
late the federal postal regulations.
In the week in Marquette and Green
Lake county Kleist and Boomer secur-
ed affidavits which showed the sale of
more than three hundred ducks in di-
rect violation Of the game laws of the
state. The pot hunters have become
foxy and since the arrest Of a number
of express agents there the hunters have
adopted a new plan and are now send
ing ducks and partridges by parcel
post. Kleist and Boomer claim that
this is in direct violation of the postal
regulations as they hold that shipments
for parcel post must be regulated by
the local game laws sthe same as shi3.
ments by any other common carrier
However, the wardens have been block
ed in their efforts to secure evidence
against the hunters on account Of the
fact that they have no power to in
wade the postofices and open parcel
post matter.
w. f, Jurgens, former postmaster
residing at a small town in Marquette
county between Princeton and Mon
tello, proved vertitable mine of in
formation for the game wardens and
he made afidavits which showed that
thousands of ducks had been shipped
by parcel post from that section to
dealers in Milwaukee, Kenosha, Ra.
cine, Oshkosh and all of the larger
cities in the state He also made az
fdavits showing that he had dealt in
person with the men in the various
cities and had agreed to provide for
the purchase and shipments of the
ducks. Jurgens is to be the state wit
ness in the trial of mon who will be
arrested later in the week. Jurgens in
one Of his afidavits showed that one
man had shipped eighteen hundred
ducks while another had shipped four
hundred. These men received fifteen
cents each for teal duck and forty
cents each for mallards and canvas
back. The ducks were all killed in
and about Green Lake and Marquette
counties. AS to Kenosha prosecutions
Kleist admitted that while he and
Boomer had secured lot Of fnforma
tion to show that the ducks had been
shipped in large numbers to this
county none of the afidavits were suf-
fcient to warrant the making Of ar
rests in Kenosha.
''These men are foxy" said Kleist.
and they have managed to cover
their tracks pretty well. The move
ments of myself and Boomer have been
watched and we are not able to turn
around without the word going all
along the line. The shipments are
slipped into the cities at night.
There is no doubt but a lot of these
birds have been shipped into Kenosha
but I must admit that we have not
been able to get evidence on which to
proceed with arrests here. The first
arrests will be made in Milwaukee. -
