Blankets after tho winter use are never

Can't Lose This Purse.

"The newest thing in women's

goods counter in one of the large de
partment stores, is pocketbook that
she cannot lose. IT is fastened TO her
by one strap that goes around the mid
die finger, and another one that
buckles around her wrist, like the
bride on n horses head. The advan-
ta8e is that she cannot leave it on the
counter when she goes out, and also
that no one can grab it from her hand
where she has for years carried il TO
tempt the vicious in her daily travels. ."

his office. OF course, Mr.. Slosson has "a
right to consult his friends, political or
otherwise. as to the expediency Of his
becoming a candidate for the Office of
county judge. The present opposing
candidate, we are informed, had done
the same weeks before in sending nom

friends. 1t was difference Of method
only, and it is one of the amusing feat
ures of this campaign that what is per-
fectly proper and all right in demo-

county judgeship into the dirty mirc Of
politics" when done by republican.
But Mr.. Slosson does not put himself
forward as a republican. He has filed
his nomination papers as partisan
and appeals to the entire people Of this
county, irrespective Of party, for sup
port, and we confidently believe that
the people of this county will respond
to that appeal by giving him a decisive
majority on election day.

The objection brought against MIR.
VanTngen that he has improved the
opportunities he has had for benefit
ting the harbor ought certainly not to
be worthy of consideration. 1t is just
because he has so many opportunities
and knows how to improve them, that
he is the more desirable candidate for
mayor There is nothing that will
help Kenosha that will not directly
help him, and yet his interests are so
distributed that he is to profit by any
improvement. He is firm believer in
good roads, and after a personal in
vestigation on the north side today he
is surprised to find how easily some
streets, now impossible, can be made
good at a nominal expense except of
brains. He proposes to take this OPP
portunity of bad roads to look over the
whole city so that when elected mayor
he will be able to act intelligently and
put into practice his engineering know
ledge as applied to road making. He
is a great believer in the Sheridan
road and electric road and is so firm in
his belief that when their ad-
vantages are understood instead of
there being any opposition, streets and
the property ownors abutting will be
bidding for the privilege. No street
should have both, unless very anxious
for them, and can outbid all others.
The wishes of the people should be
closely followed in such matters, and
the new council will be inclined to
ascertain them, and when they do they
will not ignore them. AS to the OBJ
iection-that he makes little money
and comes here to spend it-would we
had more of that kind. We should
encourage Chicago business men to
make their homes here, and not dis
courage them, for Kenosha is getting
nearer Chicago every day, and we
ought, with a little better service on
the Northwestern road, for instance
by having the Kenosha accommo-
datioD train run by Thos. L. Moore,
make the distance,in one hour-to have
as many Chicago business men live
here as do now in Waukegan. Let us
drop all party lines, all clannish feel
ings, and elect Mr.. VanIngen, whom
Mr.. Culley has styled the advance
agent of prosperity" and that's what
he is, sure.

The Republican City Ticket.

The nominee for mayor, Fl. s. Van
Iisgen. came to. Kenosha in 1884, just
prior to the final readjustment Of the
.old city debt. Pleased with the beauty
Of Kenosha, and having faith in its
future, he purchased the home he now
occupies and other property He has
since added materially to his holdings
of real estate on the north side and
outside of the city limits. His invest
ments in Kenosha county and city are
of such nature that he probably has
more interest in the prosperity Of Ke-
nosha than any other man. He has
tied up to Kenosha, and has always
been known as a public spirited citi-
zen.
AIr. YanIngen was brought up
as a civil engineer, and has spent his
life in charge of important business
interests requiring a knowledge of
practical engineering as we'll as fnan-
ciering He is therefore eminently
fitted for the position of chief execu-
tive of this city. His efforts in behalf
of the harbor are public history. 1t
was largely through his presentation of
the facts at Washington that the BIZ
ennial government appropriation of
$4,000 was increased to ST., 800, (from
hich it is now risen to S24, 000) por-
ton of which was specifically appro-
PLATED for the first time, for the i'm
vement Of the inner basin Of Keno
sha aarbor The full effect Of his
end vor will be seen this summer
VIII inner harbor will be deepened
and L. rgeo sufficiently to admit of
the n ments Of large vessels and
make tins the rendezvous of the yacht
ing interc> Of Lake Michigan.
Mr.. Vi asen has been a large en-
ployer of fahar, and a former resident
of Kenos1; : ng in his employ, testi-
fes to the f. hat his relations with
bis men were y lie friendliest charac-
ter He always believed in giving
good wages for days work. A city
that can secure tie services of such a
man for practically nothing ought not
to throw away the chance.
The nominee for city clerk, Gus
Jacob, is the right man for the place,
as every man will testify who has had
any business to transact at the city
office the past two years. He is gen.
tlemanly, accommodating, honest off
cial, and being such he should never
lie removed from the position.
Charles Fl. Pfennig, the nominee for
the city treasurership, is very we'll
known young man, being a very me-
thodical business man, whose honor
and integrity are beyond all question
Just such a man as should be the ideal
candidate for every position at the
disposal of the people. He has solid
character, and is christian gentleman
in every way.
The candidate for justice Of the
peace, J. M. Stebbins, has held that
position here for several years, and is
too we'll known to need any special
word of commentator from us.
For assessor, Herman Hoehn, is we'll
known throughout the city, having
held the position before. He is Ger
man American citizen and always gave
complete satisfaction to the citizens.
The Office is one Of the most important
in the city, and should be held by a
man who will honestly serve the inter-
ests of the city. Mr.. Hoehn is just
such man.
