GERMAN PIONEER rs DEAD.
Sebastian Becker Died at the Home Of
His Daughter on Sunday at the

Sebastian Becker, age seventy
one of the oldest and best known Of
the pioneer German residents of the
city, died at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Joseph LANCER, $50 North street,

result of a natural breaking down due
to advanced years. Mr.. Becker was
born in Germany in 1888, but he came
to Kenosha as a young man and had
since resided in the city. He is sur
vived by his widow, five daughters,
Mrs. Joseph LANCER of Kenosha; Mrs.
Richard Amberg and Mrs. Arthur
Sehmitz of Amondale, MINI; Mrs
Gertrude Smith, living in California,
and Mrs. Michael Amberg of GAINESVILLE,
Mimi, and one son, Matthias Becker re-
siding at Madison. The funeral will be

The state university wants pretty
close to 100000 for the next two
years. If the regents can show that
this amount can be proftably expended
in the education Of Wisconsin boys
and girls, the appropriation should be
the first to be made by the legislature.
If it is apparent that the money is to
be used for the advancement of some
political propaganda it is to be hoped
that the Governor will get veto in
early.

1t may be that the pork barrel no
longer decorates the capital at Wash

there would be no need of it for some
time. Those Democrats must have got
all their election promises paid up.
However, Democratic Office seeker is
some seeker and if there is not Offices
enough the administration will have to
build some more.

The fact that the congestion of the
railway yards is beginning to effect the
operation of the big industrial plants,
will have tendency to show the peo-
pie that the movement-and the rapid
movement--of railway cars is one of
the most important things in connec-
tion with the operation of the business
Of the nation. The worst blow that
could hit Kenosha would be the tying
up Of its shipping facilities.

Now is the time to get behind the

munity spirit and without this it is 60

to the individual to help.

If the city can get better pavements

result in much better results than the
plan now in use.

Kenosha people do not seem to be
falling over themselves to sign petit

up after he gets in.

ITALIAN BURNS
$500 NSTOVE
Holds Off Friends With Re-

His Savings

Lewistown. Pa, Dec. 27.-John Car
los. an Italian workman at Haw-
stone, in the Lewistown arrows, got
rid of 5000 in short order In ten
minutes the bills had disappeared.
He used the money to start a fire in
his room in one of the shanties at
the brick plant. Several companions
who were with the man at the time
that he burned the money, earned by
hard labor, tried to keep him from
destroying it, but they were kept at
bay with big revolver that Carlos
pulled from his pocket and fired a
shot into the ceiling by way of warn
ing that he would not be trifled with
while he destroyed his savings. Car
los was locked up in small shanty
and word was sent to Lewistown
for an officer to come after the man.
He pryed open a window and escaped
deeper into the wilds, where it is
feared that he will perish from eX-
posure before he can be found. There
is reason to believe that Carlos is
insane. as he also burned his best
clothes. He was a quiet chaps and
was well liked at HawTone.
