THE PRINCE OF P1LsEN. ;,

On Thursday night, Feb. 4th, an all
star revival of the favorite musical
comedy, "The Prince of Pilsen,'' will
be seen at the Rhode Opera House.
This Pixley and Luder's world
famed work enjoys deservedly larger
share of popular favor than often falls
to the lot of this evanescent form of
stage entertainment. It's story has
much to commend in form as well as
substance, the adventures of the brewer
from Cincinnati on his holiday trip to
Nice being narrated in a manner that
does no violence to the "eternal veri-
ties"; the songs are dainty and poetic
and the music supplied by Gustav Lu-
ders is most enhancing. The company
this season has few who have re-
manned with the Prince during his en-
tire reign, and the cast in it's entirety
suggests that the management expert
ences no trouble in keeping the organi-
zation fully up to the standard
fixed by the original production. John
w. Ransome, the original Hans Wagner
will again be the Cincinnati Brewer
with 'splintered speech Edward I.
Mora has the role of the real prince,
and g. Burke Scott is said to make a
manly figure as the American naval Of
ficer Eda Won Luke, is the firtatious
City Widow, and Regina Richards,
Geraldine De Rose, Dorothy Delmore
and Claudia Rodgers are among those
in roles of prominence. The excellent
singing and dancing chorus of thirty
seven pretty girls promises to again be
feature. There will be a special or
chestra under the directio n of Victor
Clark, conductor of much note. Seats
now on sale. Mail orders accompanied
by checks or currency will receive spe-
cial attention. Prices SOC to $3.50.

sons addicted to the habitual use of
morphine and other preparations of
that kind ana it with the idea of stop
ping that practice the act was passed.
In the city of Milwaukee recently it
was discovered that mere boys, some
of them still of school age, were vic
tins of the drug habit. Several drug
gists were prosecuted for selling the
drug and in one case it was found that
an upstate physician was issuing the
prescriptions at one dollar each.
So far has the drug habit gone that
respectable and law-abiding druggists
have been forced to bring the matter
to the attention of the federal govern
ment. State laws have not stopped
the practice of drug using, but the
Harrison act is claimed to be an eff
fective measure and one which will
make it almost impossible for drug
users to continue in the practice.
The law is one IN which the federal
government is vitality interested. 1t is
not one which has been placed on the
books to lie dormant, but is one which
will be carried out to the letter by fed
eral officials at government expense.
There has been provided severe
penalty for the violation of any of the
sections of the law and a term of five
years in federal prison may be melted
out to a violator. Under the terms of
one section the violation of the law
may be punished by fine of not more
than $4,000 or a term in prison of five
years, or both.
The government has instructed its of
fcers and agents to enforce the meas
ure, and has also set aside the sum of
$4,000 for its enforcement Local
and state officials will be asked to CO.
operate with the federal officers and an
earnest effort made to put stop to
the habitual use of narcotic drugs.

Harrison Act to Bring Fed
eral Government i'm Touch
With Druggists Soon.
BECOMES EFFECTIVE MARCH |

Kenosha druggists are making prepa-
ratlons for securing licenses and pur.
chasing order blanks from the federal
government in compliance with the
Harrison act, law passed by the fed
eral legislature for the curbing of the
drug habit. The new act goes into eff
feet on March l, and provides license
fee of $1.00 for each person handling
drugs of that character together with a
charge of one cent each for blanks on
which orders for drugs are to be writ
ten. Local druggists will go to Mil
waukee to fulfill the requirements of
the law so they will be able to do bust
ness in a legal way after March 1.
While the law brings considerable
fred tapeo to the druggists, the act is
of their special making, they having
been back of the movement the past
six years. The object of the act is
to do away to the greatest possible
measure with the habit of using drugs.
In all of the larger cities of the
country there have been numerous per-

CAUGHT BY WIRE OF PULLEY
Young Man injured at Three O'clock
Monday Afternoon Died at Hospital
Three Hours Believed That
Skull was Fractured.

William Edward Schwartz, aged
seventeen years, who made his home
with his father, John Schwartz at the
Fischer Hotel, was fatally injured in
an accident at the plant of the
Macomber, Whyte Company at Rope
vile late Monday afternoon. The
young man had been the victim of a
wire pulling machine at the plant just
after three o'clock and he died 1t the
Kenosha hospital three hours later. In
1some manner the boy had been caught
on block on which wire was rolled
and he was carried round the block
several times and it is supposed that
his head struck another block and that
his skull was fractured. Coroner Mil
lager latter making an investigation
OF the case on Monday evening an
nounced that an inquest would not be
necessary. The body of the injured
boy was removed to the Hansen morgue
George S .Whyte, president of the
company when seen this morning. said:
The accident is to us unexplainable.
Young Schwartz, who had been employ
ed off and on with us for the past year
was working on bench along with his
father and he was using machine for
drawing wire. This machine is a block
with a belt and a pair of tongs, the
belt being connected with the tongs.
1t is the approved way for drawing
wire and the plan used in every plant
OF this kind. So far as I know such
an accident never occurred before,
No one saw the accident The father
OF the boy was working only few
feet from him, but his back was turned
and he did not see the injury. Young
Schwartz wore pair of gloves and
we think that either the glove or the
sleeve of his jacket was caught be-
tween the belt and the block and that
he was carried over the block possibly
several times and that he was fatally
injured when his, head struck another
block. The men in the department had
been warned within the past few days
of the danger of wearing gloves, but
it seemed that the men cared more for
their hands than they did for safety.
This is our best information in regard
to the manner in which young Schwartz
met his injury. He was an entirely
competent workman and had been on
the bench with his father during the
term of his employment here
Young Schwartz was native of
Findley, O. His mother died some
years ago and since coming to Kenosha
he and his father who were more like
"pals" than father and son, had made
their home at the Fischer Hotel. The
father was grief stricken when he
reached the side of the unconscious
boy. He aided the workmen to place
him in the ambulance and accompanied
him to the hospital and remained in
the ward until death came. The boy
was unconscious all the time after the
injury until his death.
Plans for the funeral have not as
yet been made.

FOR ALL STEEL TRAINS.
Modern Type of Cars to be Put in
Service on G.. N. w. Suburban Trains.

Officials of the North Western rail
road are in favor of all steel coaches
in the suburban service as we'll as on
the main lines running in the north
and northwest, according to gossip
among railroad men here. Chicago
newspapers yesterday carried a story
to the effect that the North Western
would place steel coaches in the sub
urban service in the near future.
Such an order would mean steel cars
and all steel trains between Chicago
and Milwaukee. Trains beyond that
point are not considered suburban.
Frequent wrecks on roads throughout
the country in which the old style of
car, made of wood, is usually tele-
scoped, are held responsible for the
change planned. 1t has been demon
strated that where wrecks occurred on
all steel trains, the loss of life and the
injury list did not go near as high as
with the old wooden cars.
Last year the North Western, due
mainly to its strict safety first rules.
managed to get through the year with
out a single fatality. It is the express
ed hope Of the officials of the road that
this record may be kept up, and all de-
vices which tend to make the road
safe are being installed as rapidly as
time and appropriations will permit.
The all steel train is perhaps the big
gest step toward the safety movement
that has been taken.

ERIE RAILROAD
 SELLS FOUR BIG
 LAKE STEAMERS

New York, June 26-SaIe of four of the Erie Railroad Company's fleet of eight steamers now plying on the Great Lakes, to New York men was announced today. The purchasers were represented by William G. Da- vidson, president of the Staten Island Shipbui1ding Company. All four vess- els will be brought to New York, two of them to engage in coastwdse trade and two in transatlantic trade. n order to~bring them through the can al connecting Lakes Erie and Ontario, it was stated, it will be necessary to cut the vessels in two they are longer than the locks. The two sec- lions of each vessel will be joined to- gether at Montreal. All are of the wha1eback type and built of steel.
 The sale was made necessary by the recent ruling of the interstate Commerce Commission that all rail- roads operating ships on the Great Lakes must dispense of their lake lines by December
