Mrs Mary Leickem, So years old, ar
rested several days ago on a charge
of assault with intent to do great bod
lily harm when she fred three shots at
her 76 year old husband, Peter Leickem,
had preliminary hearing in the NUM-
'oipal court this morning, and was held
for trial at the next term of the court

Mrs. Leickem admitted that she had
fired the shots but asserted with many
tears that she had not aimed to hurt
any one. One of the witnesses was
man who lived in the same house as
the old couple and he testified that af-
ter shooting one shot early in the morn
ing Mrs. Leickem had spent an hour
singing MY Country IT'S of Thee. -
This same man also heard the three
shots fired later. Mrs. Leickem did
not take the stand but made her in
formal statement of her side of the
case. 1t is still admitted that the case
may be settled up before it comes to
trial before a jury, and the accused
wife is still hopeful of reconciliation
with her aged husband.

its thoroughness and excellence.
In the current issue of ssThe Crusa-

devoted to praise of Kenosha's pro-
gressive measures in this regard.
Kenosha, which won its first open
air school in a Christmas seal sale, Il

"The interest which the school
board has taken in the question Of car
ing for the educational needs of these
less fortunate Of our children and the
persistence shown in carrying out
plans to that end, in spite of discour-
agement and delay, are deserving of
special commentator, says Mrs.

open air school room is further proof
of the advanced stand which the school
board has taken in adapting the pub

Guests of Conservatory Monday Night
Enthuse Over Entertainment.

Z Il r.
If there were many free entertain
ments Of the excellence of that given
Monday night under the auspices of
the Kenosha Grand Conservatory Of
Music, residents of the city would find
small need Of paying money for their
amusements.
The crowd which filled the music hall
of the Conservatory and overlooked into
the reception room and Office paid tri-
butte to the worth Of the program by
listening in Wrapt attention through
its entirety, in spite of many being
obliged to stand

Van Goens, thus greatly varying the
character of her offer. 1gs and allow

She plays feelingly and her technique
is admirable, and what added greatly
to the pleasure derived from her per-
Torrance, she used a violin Of re-
markably mellow and sweet tone.
Miss Minna Mae Lewis read several
selections, among the most interesting
being her Interpretation of WELLER Is

was most happily arranged and Miss
Lewis reading gave a graphic picture
while it was impressive from an artis-

TO USE sMoKELEss ENGINES.
Chicago s. Northwestern Railway Com
pany Plans Changes in Rolling Stock.


The Chicago & Northwestern rail
road has come to the front with new
smokeless and dirtless engine which it
is expected will be in operation on all
their lines within the course Of another
month
The engine is similar to a great ex-
tent to the present locomotives. In the
place of burning coal in large pieces it
gets its fuel from powdered coal which
is forced into the fire box through pipes
leading from a small motor in the rear
of the tender. This motor when start
ed makes strong air pressure which
carries the fine pieces of fuel through
the pipes into the box where it is burn
ed much the same as oil would burn
From experiments so far made it has
been found that the engine can be oper-
ated at a much cheaper rate than the
present locomotives. There are no
CRATES in the fire box and a greater per-
centage of heat for the amount of coal
used can be obtained than through the
old way.
Tt is estimated that train can be
pulled from Chicago to Milwaukee on
a ton and half of coal where as in
the past it has consumed much more
than this.
She arduous task of shoveling coal
which falls upon the fremen on the
present engines is done away with. It
is believed by railroad men that the
new engine will revolutionize railroad
ing.

THE REV. STAIR TALKS.
Dwells Upon Bane of Selfish Church.
Good Year Ahead for M. E. Church.

q No church can Justify an existence
for itself and it's own congregation
only To fulfill it's mission it must
mean something to the community OF
which it is a part, was the keynote
of an informal address given by the
Rev. Peter Stair Of Park Avenue
Church last night Members of the
congregation rendered Mr.. and Mrs
stair a reception in honor Of Mr.
Stairs appointment to his fifth year
as pastor Those in attendance filed
the audience chamber Of the church
end left many standing in the parlor
adjoining.
r.. Il. Grant presided and after an
address Of cordial greeting to Mr.. Stair
on the part of the congregation he
called upon the pastor for response.
Mr.. Stair was in particularly
genial humor and kept up ripple Of
laughter at his droll stories and quaint
remarks, even while he told his hear
ers serious truths. He dwelt especial
~ upon the duty of church to its
community He contrasted it with the
home which he said might rightfully
to some extent bar it's doors against
intruding outsiders. In his opinion
the church should stand with open
doors to welcome and aid the lonely
and unfortunate, and except none. Mr..
Stair predicted the greatest year Of
aI, l. boe 1
and asked the active cooperation Of
every church attendant TO make it so.
He noted as an suspicious circumstance
the volunteering of sixty Sunday school
teachers last Sunday-more than could
be used in the work, while often it has
been difficult to fill the coterie of
teachers at the opening of the church
year.
When Mrs. Stair was called upon to
talk she spoke feelingly of her hap
piness at being able to remain another
year in Kenosha.
Charming musical numbers were
given by Richard Hardy and the
Misses Macarthur and Florence Fox
well. Miss Mollie Derbyshire gave a
delightful reading of the chapter in
Nicholas Nickleby" which relates to
the jostling on their attempted rush
toward the marriage altar of the
eoquettish Miss Fannie Squires and
her whilom friend, Miss Price. The
passage is replete with Dickinesque
drolleries which Miss Derbyshire nice
ly Illuminated in most entertaining
fashion,
The program ended with rousing
rendition Of BLESSED Be the Tie That
Binds" by the assemblage, and an adj
joprnment to the supper room where
guests sampled delicacies made after
tried and true, old fashioned, Metho-
dist receipts, than which none is better.

SOCK PARTY LATE FAD.
Woman's Aid Society Introduces Keno

Woman's Aid Society Introduces Keno
sha to New Form of Joyfest.
The sixty members of the Woman s
Aid society of the Congregational
church and many of their friends
gave sock party Monday afternoon.
That sounds just a bit risque, but
here's the word of the Evening News
for it, it was entirely proper. Every
member of the society and many not
members received tiny silken sock
through the mail with a request that
they return it with as many pennies
as the size of their own sock, multi
piled by two. The treasurer realized
over twenty dollars yesterday and a
number of the sock recipients are still
to be heard from The proceeds will
be used to buy materials to make into
articles for the Christmas SALE
While the members have been busy
with sock party preparations and other
activities they have found time to hold
numerous little porch parties recently,
and teas, at which they worked on
paper flowers and paper dresses for an
elaborate entertainment to be given
October nth.
Those in chrge insist that so far as
beauty Of decorations and attractive
ness of gowns 60, this entertainment
will excel anything seen in the church
parlors since the rainbow party of
1905. Details of the affair will be
given out later.

CLARK FOR DEFENSE PLANS

washington.-President Wilson and
Speaker Clark OF the house OF repre-
sentatives have had an important con-
ference at the White House on the
presidents preparedness program. In
general way the speaker assured
the president Of his support, declar-
ing in favor Of a reasonable pro-
gram"
After the conference Speaker Clark
stated he could not yet say whether
he thought The presidents program
was reasonable" as he was not ac-
quainted with the details OF the adj
ministration's plan. The belief that
the speaker will take charge of the
fight on the floor in behalf Of the
program, however, was strengthened
by his admission that he intends to
leave the chair during the coming SEES
sion and speak In favor Of certain
measures whenever occasion demands.
His keen interest In the subject OF
preparedness was manifested BY his
announcement he has prepared bill
to provide sufficient officers for any
reserve force which may be created.

ASK GREECE TO DEMOBOLIzE
Only Alternative In Allies Demand 10
That Greeks Join the Entente.
Blockade Declared.

LOndon.-The entente allies have
demanded that Greece either join with
them and fulfill her treaty obligations
to Servia or demobilize. and to impress
King Constantine that they mean what
they say the alhes have declared
commercial blockade Of the Hellenic
empire. according to Athens dis
patches.
There is no confirmation of these
statements here. but It is certain that
Lord Kitchener. the British war sec
rotary, who had an hours audience
with the king OF Greece. and afterward
saw Premier Skouloudis, took firm
stand.
The Greek cabinet met to consider
the situation. The Greek government
again has affirmed its friendliness to
the allies, but has not taken the steps
required to prevent Greece from being
counted among the friends of the
central powers.
The entente allies will not permit
any delay; the position Of the Seryian
armies makes any prolongation of the
present uncertainty impossible. Al
ready the Servians are making what
may be their last stand before Monas-
tir and also on the plains Of Koss0vo.

BULGARs TAKE MONAsTIR
Rome Dispatch Says serVlans Are In

that the Bulgarians have captured
Monastir, and that the Servians ara
in. full retreat.
Little hope was held In England
that 1t would escape the Bulgarians.
There is a possibility, however, that
the invaders will not dare to make
much greater extension Of their line,
with the French apparently estab.
lished solidly on their flank.
Left In the dark as to the actual
progress OF the Anglo-French cam
paign in the near east, the British
public can only hope the allies will
soon have such strong forces there
that they will enable the harassed
Servians to make successful stand
and preserve a small portion Of their
country, as the Belgians did along the
User.
Some substance is given this hope
by unofficial news that the Anglo
French force is now assuming formid'
able proportions as we'll as by hints
that Italy is on the verge OF actual
participation in the Balkan campaign.

patches say that they are falling back
on Monastir, where there are British
reinforcements; others that they are
retreating on Ochrida, on the Southern
Albanian frontier.
The French have inflicted serious
