our versatility some more yet and be
a musician. We thought we'd be a
cellist. Dye know what is it a Gel

on a youth violin that has reached
voting age. The cello is in between
the baby violin and gTan'pOp horse
fiddle. Watching the fella in the or

a pipe. All he did was lean the cello
up against the stick and push the
stick hither and thither and be very

FIRE DAMAGES SAMPLE
FURNITURE STORE
Big Blaze ON Elizabeth Street on Mon
day Evening Results in Loss
of a Thousand Dollars.

The store Of the Sample Furniture
Company, 507 Elizabeth street, was the
scene of a--serious fire just after ten
o. clock Monday night and before the
spread of the flames could be stopped
by the fremen damage to the amount
Of a thousand dollars had resulted. The
loss was more from smoke and water
than from fire and it is thought that
it is fully covered by insurance The
blaze originated in pile Of rubbish
in the basement of the building And
before it was discovered it had eaten
its way through the walls to the first
floor of the building. It was necessary
to lay a line of hose to combat the
flames and the water was poured into
the first floor for nearly half an hour
Many pieces of furniture were damaged
by the water. The loss on the building
was declared to be in the neighborhood
of two hundred dollars but the dam
age to the stock will DE several
times this amount.

ANTILLES NAY HAVE
CARRIED KENOSHAN
J. G. Mckinney of Casualty Lists Be
lieved to be ]. E. Mckinney of
Sheridan Road.

Considerable apprehension is being
entertained by the friends and rela-
tives of ]. E. Mckinney, who has been
an American sailor for nine years, that
he is the sailor mentioned in the casu-
atty list of the victims of the Antilles
under the name of J. G. Mckinney.
No lists give the address of the sailor
who went down with the transport
and Postmaster German has been able
to gain no additional information from
the War Department Office at Chicago.
Color is lent to the suspicious by the
fact that the. last letter received from
the Kenoshan more than two months
ago indicated that he would not write
for some time, probably because ne was
to be put into the overseas service.
His parents are afraid that he was as
signed to transport service and was
one of the doomed crew. Young
Mckinney, when in Kenosha, lived on
Sheridan Road and is we'll known by
many people in Kenosha. The only
hope which can be entertained that he
is not the man mentioned in the death
lists is the fact that he is there listed
as a seaman while prior to several
months ago he had been mechanician,
Additional information is expected
soon to determine definitely the iden-
THY of the sailor.

PUTS NELSON ON
REPORTORIAL STAFF
Kenosha Corporal in Battery e to Tell
Home Folks of Doings at
Camp Macarthur.

Kenosha people who have wondered
why they had not been receiving let
ters from the boys at Waco will know
today that the order has gone out to
stop the home letters relative to things
going on in camp. The people at home
are not to be in complete ignorance
of what is going on, as Col. Carl Pen
ner, in charge of the battery, has nam
ed press censor and has also named
two men to send the news of the camp
back home. Corporal Harold Scribner
and Corporal William Nelson, the lat.
ter from Kenosha, have been named
as the official reporters of the bat
terry. They will send regular letters
to the newspapers in the home
towns. In the first letters the of.
fetal reporters say:
The battery has taken strong
stand for the Liberty Loan bond sale
and for long time held the highest
subscription in the regiment. We have
recently been surpassed by Battery D
which includes Troop D of Milwaukee
and Troop g of Grand Rapids. Bat.
terry E has subscribed for 81, 050 worth
Of bonds and Battery d for $18,05C
worth to date. Nevertheless, we are
carrying on strong campaign within
the battery and hope to gain suprem
acy over our neighbors again.
Floors have been supplied for every
tent which is a great addition and have
been long looked for The soil here
will not pack down when it is dry
therefore it was very hard to keep the
tents clean without the floors when the
dry, powder-hke dirt was continually
being stirred up inside Of the tents
When it rained it was one worse and
from all appearances for the past few
days it has set in for rainy season
here. Thursday it rained the greater
share of the forenoon and the remain
der of the day and today Las beer
dark and chilly The worst part u
having it rain, however, is due to the
gumbo mud which cakes onto the
soles Of your shoes and makes il
very hard 10 walk.
The battery is doing excellent work
under it's new command and is nov
ranking among the best batteries il
the regiment. Lieutenant Lyman B
Park, formerly with old Troop |, whc
was transferred to brigade headquart
ers at the time Of its reorganization
into the battery, has been transferred
to Battery E and is again at work
with his former men. y

ROB SALEM SALOON
OF LIQUOR AND CIGARS
Saloon of Charles Dippe Entered by
Burglars Who Get Away With
Booty to the Value of $4,000.

Sheriff Jacob Hermann was notified
this morning that the saloon of
Charles Dippe had been entered by
burglars during the night and the
thieves got away with liquor and cigars
to the value of fifty dollars. Entrance
to the building was, made by the use
of |. skeleton key. The loot included
twelve bottles of the best whiskey in
the place and an even dozen boxes of
the best cigars. There is no clew to
the identity of the burglars. For some
time several suspicious characters were
seen about the ice houses in the neigh
borhood and as they are missing it is
thought that they had something to
do with the burglary. The sheriff has
ordered his deputies in Salem to make
an effort to arrest the guilty parties.
