his wife, perhaps dead on the floor
and the door still open. Puss might
return at any minute.
Wildly he ran 10 the kitchen of his
little home and found 3 nice mouldy
bit Of cheese. If Mrs. Twinkle-eyes
was alive he knew she would open
her eyes when he held the tempting
bit under her nose.
Tremblingly Twinkle-eyes held the
cheese and open came the eyes Of his
wife and her mouth, too, and when
she had swallowed it she sat up.
Come" said her husband, I'VE must
run home, for Puss may be in at any
minute. Oh, if some one would only
come and close that door"
But the poor little mother and

CALLS REED MARRIOTT
IN NEW OPEN LETTER
Former President Wilson Sends Third
Letter in Effort to Defeat Reed
for Senator.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire,

st. Louis, Mo.-Referring to United
States Senator James A. Reed as a
"marplot,n former President Wilson in
"a letter to former Governor L. v. Ste
phens, asked the defeat of Missouri's
senior senator to redeem the reputa-
ton" of the Democratic party. I was
Mr.. Wilson's third letter on the race
for the Democratic nomination for
United States senator between Reed
and Breckenridge Long, former third
assistant secretary of state in the Will
son administration.
The letter was in reply to one by
Stephens in which the former governor
referred to letter the former presi-
dent wrote the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, attacking Reed. Senator Reed re-
piled to this letter in, which he ques-
toned Mr.. Wilson's memory.
The letter, under date of April 9th
to Mr.. Stephens follows:
"My dear Governor Stephens :-Y our
letter of April % has gratifed me. /
am glad to be sustained in my judg-
ment of Reed by your own closer
knowledge of him and I shall hope and
confidently expect to see him repudi-
ated by the Democrats at the primaries.
Certainly Missouri cannot afford to be
represented by such marplot and it
might check the enthusiasm Of Demo
Gratis throughout the country if their
comrades in Missouri should not re-
deem the reputation of the party by
substituting for Reed man of the
true breed of Democratic principles.
am sure your own great influence will
contribute to the desired and expected
redemption. Please accept assurances
of my entire confidence in the Missouri
Democrats and believe me, with best
wishes. Sincerely yours, Woodrow
Wilson"

KENOSHA BRIDEGROOM
DEAD AT EAU CLAIRE

Death at s o'clock this morning
brought an end to the suffering of Ed
ward Wierschem, the former Kenosha
man who was injured in an automobile
accident last Friday at the village CT
Warren and who since Saturday has
been unconscious at the Sacred Heart
hospital at Eau Claire. The accident
came just at the termination Of his
wedding trip, he having returned to
that village recently with his bride.
formerly Miss Nellie Gray of that city.
She was at, his bedside this morning
when the final summons came.
The deceased suffered a fractured
skull and other injuries when the au-
tomoblle in which he was riding was
struck by a fast express train. His
bride was one of the first to reach the
scene of the accident and she has re-
manned at his bedside constantly since
that time. He recovered consciousness
for short time On Saturday but since
then had lapsed back into a coma from
which he never recovered.
Edward Wierschem was born in Ke
nosha, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. joseph
Wlerschem, and had lived here most OF
his life. He attended the st. George
school. For several years he was en-
pl.oyed as custodian of the North Side
Park and in this position had made
scores of friends to whom his death
comes as personal sorrow. On April
18th he was united in marriage to Miss
Nellie Gray of Warren, Wis.
In addition to his wife, whose home
is in Warren, the deceased is survived
by three brothers, George, Nicholas and
John Wierschem, and one stepsister
Mrs. George Simons, all of Kenosha
Definite arrangements regarding the
funeral services have not as yet been
His brothers have in the city of Eau
Claire since Monday, when the first
word reached Kenosha that he was
critically injured
Word received in Kenosha late this
afternoon declared that the funeral
services would be held in the village
of Warren probably on Saturday morn

sequences to yourself, but will flock
to my political Standard
Willy Frenchman to- Rescue.
The picture of this willy Frenchman
attempting to lead the German people
OF the state into false position of
disloyalty for daring goes the limit.
He has attempted to cover the effects
of his anti-war stand with the ~Ameri-
can Legion by shouting loudly for the
soldier bonus bill. There is nothing
to be said against the jusice of bon
us bill and all Wisconsin representa-
tives favor it: On account of his war
attitude, it would help the measure
It La Toilette were against it. Com
bining his war stand with his present
advocacy of the bonus his actions say
IN effect to the soldiers. "I know
that the war was wrong, that there was
not justification for it, that you were
over in Europe fighting Great Brit
aims battles, but that for that service
you should be paid money, that you
were mercenary hirelings, rented out
to fight another country's battles, Just
as the Hessians who fought against US
in the Revolution were hired by Great
Britain" Do you soldiers not feel
proud of the reputation his actions
have attributed to you?
One of the shining lights of hope
on the Wisconsin political horizon is
the woman vote, and that should be
tremendous influence for straight
clear thinking and the elimination of
the perverted policies of La Follettism.
Before the war, under normal con-
ditions of competition for business and
financial aid, a number of instances
have come to me where outside CAPITAL
would refuse investments lin Wiscon-
sin propositions solely on account of
the risk to an investment there under
La Toilette policies which controlled
the legislation of the state. With
every city association of commerce
working strongly for the stimulation
of industry locally, with every citizen
of each community entirely in accord
with anything that will enhance the
prosperity of their section, do thew
forget that they are all part of the
state of Wisconsin, that their local
efforts will avail them nothing if the
policy and reputation of the state
keeps investments away from their
borders?
A further carrying on of these poll
cies in the state government and out
side of the state is catastrophe which
every American in Wisconsin must
work to prevent.

JUDGE GARRISON
RESIGNS OFFICE
Resignation of Able Law
yer as Assistant Prose
cutor Causes Dismay.
A TOWER OF STRENGTH

Joseph R. Clarkson, who as assistant
prosecutor has been tower of strength
in the district attorneys office, has
handed in his resignation to take effect
the end of May. The announcement of
the resignation was made by District
Attorney Frank S. Symmonds before
the county board late Wednesday af-
ternoon, when he asked that the board
allow him another assistant to take
Judge Clarkson's place. The board saw
the need of additional help for the dis
trict attorney and allowed him an as
sistant for the remainder of the term,
seven months, at salary not to exceed
$500 month. The district attorney
said that he had lawyer in view whom
he thought was available, and while he
did not name the person, it has been
intimated that it is A. B. Ames.
Regret Loss of Judge Clarkson.
The resignation of Judge Clarkson
was regarded as distinct loss, for as
assistant district attorney his courtesy,
ability and excellent judgment has en-
deared him to all who came into con-
tact with him. The county board yes
terday asked Mr.. Symmonds if he did
rot think that given a vacation and
rest, Judge Clarkson might not later
be induced to return to the position,
but they were assured that Judge
Clarkson was firm in his decision that
he wished to retire from the office for
good.
Judge Clarkson informed me after
dinner today" said the district attor-
ney, "that he felt he ought to have a
rest and that he wished to be relieved
of his duties at the end Of May. He
has been working very hard and he has
decided that the work was too strenu-
Gus for him. was very sorry to get
Judge Clarkson's resignation. I have
never worked with a man so congenial
and helpful and able lawyer as he is.
/ have been glad to have had the judg-
ment of such man to assist me. His
loss will be keenly felt in our office,
I assure you"
District Attorney Symmonds ex-
planned that on account of the burden
of work in the prosecutors office, it
was impossible to give proper atten-
tion to it without an assistant and that
the work was increasing instead of
decreasing. The county board saw the
force of the argument and without any
discussion passed a motion empowering
the district attorney to appoint sue
cessor to Judge Clarkson for the re-
mainder of the term.

DEAD MAN" Is
TOO MUCH ALIVE
Tony Gloss, Once Given Up
for Dead, in New Role
This Morning.
SENT TO ASYLUM

Tony Gloss, the Kenosha man who
several weeks ago came to life after
the undertaken and the coroner had
been called to take care of his re-
mains, is too much alive now. The
police were called Thursday evening
and again this morning to take care
of this unfortunate man who now in
stead of being in lethargy insists on
singing, shouting and whistling much
to the discontinue of all those with
whom he has been living.
After the episode of several days
ago when he had been in death-like
sleep for several hours, Gloss was
taken to the Isolation Hospital where
he apparently recovered under treat
ment. A week ago he was dismissed
from the hospital and went to the
home Of a relative at 608 Elizabeth
street to stay until he had regained
his strength.
Locks Himself in Room.
Early Thursday evening, according
to the reports received by the police,
o4OSS AOShSu HAA4SSlA III q IOOm at CHo
home and despite protests of those
with whom he lived insisted on sing
ing, whistling and shouting until "a
late hour in the night. The police
were called, but not caring to break
in the door at the home decided to
wait until morning to take Gloss in
to custody again.
This morning it took a ruse to get
into the dead mans" room. He was
still whistling and singing. A physi-
clan went with the police officers and
by persuading Gloss from the other
side of the barred door finally gain
ed admission
To Be Taken to Asylum.
The police then rushed into the
room and following the request of
those with whom Gloss was making
his home, overpowered him and took
him to the county Jail. Another ex-
animation into his sanity was being
held this morning. His actions since
the earlier episode have convinced the
physicians that he should be taken to
q sanitarium for continued treatment.
The plans were to have him taken
into court and adjudicated insane and
taken to the Northern Hospital at
Oshkosh, probably late this evening.

BULLETIN.

Frank Katutis in the municipal
court this morning pleaded guilty
to having the still in his possess
sion, and Judge Slater handed him
the limit under the law by way of
sentence and fine. Katutis was
fined $500 and costs, in addition
to a sentence of six months in the
county Jail at hard labor. Katutis
was arrested and fined before on
a similar charge, and Judge Slater
said extreme sentence was given
him chiefly because of his brazen
defiance of law. Zenon Vitkus, the
man with Katutis on Friday night,
was arraigned on the charge of
unlawful transportation and plead
ed not guilty. His case was con-
tinued until May Is. Katutis'
sentence was the biggest yet
handed out. In case he does not
pay the fine he was ordered to
serve three months additional.
The six months sentence begins at
the expiration of the three months
or after the fine is paid.
