LOCAL BOARD ORGANIZED.
Kenosha Men Interested in Building and
Loan Association.

A large number of we'll known Keno
sha citizens and business men met last
night at the Office of Benedict & Tar
bell and formed local board for this
city of the Northwestern Building and
Loan Association of Madison.
For some, time L. W. Starbird has
been working up the movement in this
city and succeeded in securing an
advisory board consisting of many of
the best known and most influential
citizens of the city.
The Northwestern Building and
Loan Association, of which the local
board is branch, was organized in
1889, and has an authorized capital OF
S., 100000 with subscribed capital OF
1888, 400. The recent reports made by
bank examiners give it first class
rating and with a local board composed
as it is of we'll known men, the new
| local branch starts out under auspicOus
circumstances.
After the organization the following
officers were chosen for the coming
year:
President &C. N. Frost.
Vice President-JOhn O'D0nnell.
Secretary-F. A. Blackman.
The board of directors and advisors
consists of A. E. Buckmaster, E. L.
Grant, E. R. Head, E. B. Kipp, Walter
Anderson, j. B. Davidson, Albert
Karnell, HOllister & Theirs, Grafton
Cameron, Nj. M. Smith and Charles A.
Tarbell.
Shares in the new company have
been placed at $100 each and they will
be of three classes. The first maturing
in six years, on which the premium will
be ST. month; the second, maturing
in seven and one half years, on which
the premium is IS cents a month, and
the third class, maturing in nine years,
on which the premium is 90 cents a
month.
The new company has not as yet de-
cided when they will open an office, but
this will be done as soon as the local
business warrants it.
General manager Starbird has been
in the city for some time and has made
quite number of loans and says that
the Building and Loan Association
plan is very popular and especially
among the laboring men.
In the past few years many homes
have been built in Kenosha with money
secured from such associations, but
these persons have all held membership
in the Racine enterprises along this
| line.
The local business of the North
western branch will be attended to by
Secretary F. A. Blackman.

ANOTHER HOLIDAY WEDDING
Dick Grif1th and Miss Josephine Zauner
Are Married in Racine.


Are Married in Racine.
Kenosha people have been led to
expect the unexpected in the line OF
weddings, but CONSERVATION was
thrown into the ranks of the bachelors
of the city this morning when it was
announced that Richard Griffith, the
son of Col. j. r. Griffith, had been
married in Racine Thursday evening
The bride was Miss Josephine
Zauner, a!well known and accomplished
young lady of this city. The boys had
noticed something very queer in Dicks
actions for some time, but it hadn't
struck them that the we'll known young
man was intending to surprise them by
entering the ranks of the benedicts.
The approaching nuptials, however,
was known to the relatives of the con-
tracing parties Late Thursday after
noon Mr.. Griffith and Miss Zauner
went to Racine and in the little justice
shop of Cary Judd the ceremony was
performed which made them one for
life. They returned to Kenosha on the
sos train land were taken at once to
the residence of the grOOm's parents
where wedding reception was held.
Later in Intervening they went to their
new home on POmeroy street, where
they are now ready to receive their
friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Griffith have many
friends in Kenosha who extend con-
gratulations and best wishes for a long
and happy journey of married life.

The Atlas Club Dance.

For the past few months Wendelin
Dagenbac has been building new
store and fat building on Milwaukee
avenue, and as it was about completed
the Atlas Club decided to dedicate the
building with appropriate ceremonies,
and for this purpose over 125 couples
were invited and responded heartily.
The feature of the evening was dancing
and the two large store rooms with
their polished floors furnished an ex-
cellent place for the sport. The music
was furnished by Stemm Brothers or
chestra and nearly every dance was
encored. During the evening refresh
ments, cigars and soft drinks, were
served. The members of the Atlas
Club who gave the party were Fer
dinand Zimmerman, Peter Gales,
Joseph GALES, Theodore Jacobs and
Charles Lindermann.

A Burning Disgrace.

From the Marquette, Mich, Journal
The senatorial election in Montana.
which had issue in the choice of Multi
millionaire Clark. was the most dis
graceful political conflict of the kind that
has yet occurred in this country.
There can be no doubling that Clark
owes his victory to the unstinted use of
money, but so complete was his control
of the corrupt legislature that he had
bought and paid for that it unseated the
senator who took his bride for the pur-
pose of exposing him and then calmly
proceeded to put the seal on its infamy by
electing him.
Clark was the democratic candidate.
but II republicans voted for him on the
final ballot They did this, they ex-
planned, in the belief that Clark's cleo
ton will lead to 1.-The disruption of the
democratic party" in Montana, but the
pretense is too bald to deceive anybody
of ordinary astuteness. Their votes We're
bought and the excuse they make for
their unusual action in going to the aid
of a democratic candidate at a critical
time will not save them from the con-
tempt their shameless venality deserves
few more such elections as this and
the movement to have United States SEN
ators elected by direct vote of the peo-
Pile will obtain an irresistible momentum.

Montana's sons must be forfeited, 1t is
to be regretted that they could not
have been lost in defense of their coun-
try or in battle with the nations enc
mics rather than in conflict with the
Filipinos. There was glory to be gained
in fighting the Spanish. but there is lit
tie glory to be gained in fighting the
half savage insurgents.
When the Montana boys enlisted in
the service of their country they were
inspired by higher thought with a
deeper significance than mere CONNER
cialism. Their lives were ready to be
sacrificed for their country's honor, but
when that honor was no longer at stake
it was not the expectation that lives
would be forfeited in the endeavor to
subdue and bring into undesirable sub
lection a people on the other side of the
globe. 1t was not the petty wages PAID
that induced Montana's sons to respond
so valantly and so promptly to their
country's call. With no pay at all they
would have responded just as promptly
whenever their country was deemed to
be in danger. This country is not in
danger at the hands of the Filipinos.
But while it may be doubted if many
of the Montana men would ever have
enlisted had they deemed that their
service was to be one of conquest,
yet they are in the service of Uncle
Sam and when the word of command
is given they will surely do their duty
There will be deep sorrow if the news
must come that lives of Montana vol
unteers have been lost, but there is
certainty that the Montana boys will
do their duty every time.

what he denounces Mr.. Campbell for
having done?
Still the Standard sincerely hopes
that Mr.. Clark will persevere in his
exposure of bribery by the gamblers
and will be able to prove the guilt of
the dishonest city officials whom he
charges with having accepted brides.
The Standard is of the opinion that
gambling has been permitted in this
city at various times during the past
year in defiance of the law. That is
wrong and should never have been per-
mitted by the officials. But the Stand
ard is loathe to believe that officials
elected by the city have actually ac-
cepted brides from gamblers for per-
hitting the games to go on. 1t is the
duty of every good citizen to punish
crime and it is hoped that Mr.. Clark
will not rest until he lands bribers and
bribed behind the bars.

Still Six of Them.
~HE week opens with six senatorial

-~HE week opens with six senatorial
contests still unsettled. In Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Nebraska,
Utah, California and Washington the
deadlocks remain unbroken and there
is no information at hand to justify the
prophecy that they will be broken with
in a few days if at all. In Utah there
are signs of restlessness among the re-
publicans and two of them have an
nounced that unless the democrats soon
break the deadlock they will take a
hand themselves at endeavoring to do
so. The legislature is two-thirds demo-
cratic and Utah is the only state with
senatorial contest on hand which is
likely to return a democrat.
1t is probable that all the deadlocks
will be broken except perhaps those in
Pennsylvania and Delaware. There is
no likelihood of the Quay and anti-Quay
republicans getting together in Penn
sylvania. Those republicans who are
opposed to Quay have pledged them
selves never to vote for him until he
is acquitted of the crime for which he
stands indicted, and, on the other hand,
Quay cannot withdraw without at the
same time virtually retiring from poll
tics. In Delaware it is Addicks or no.
body. Addicks is determined that if
he can't get the position himself he will
prevent anybody else from getting it.
No compromise is expected there.
1t is worthy of remark that almost
all the senators thus far elected are
enormously rich men. Next to w. A.
Clark, Nathan B.. Scott of West Vir-
ginia is probably the richest of the
newly elected senator's.

We want to be friendly with the United

we want Is to be INDEPENDENT and to

Are your people willing to accept
anything short of independence"
II will not say. They want to be free
and independent. the same as this coun-
try"
What will they do if the treaty is
ratified and the United States assumes
sovereignty?"
II do not know. If the Americans
attempt to conquer the Philippines, it
will take them at least 10 years, and
even then it would not be conquered in
heart. They will never be conquered
They will be constantly rising to gain
their independence"

Pine. Il came to your country to offer
you the friendship of my people--to

RINGLEADERs IN IRONS.
Minnesota Soldiers Try to Kill a MUIR
derer.

Augusta, Ga, Feb. 5.-Much excite
ment prevailed here to-day as the re-
suit of the killing last night in saloon
row of Dennis O'Connell of the 18th
Minnesota by Brown Hadley, bar
keeper. Many of O'Connell's comrades
swore revenge and after the police had
arrested Hadley planned to take him
from the, officers. Shortly after break
fast about a hundred of the Minnesota
boys who had no ball cartridges for their
rifles stole pick axes from the regi-
mental company stores and, breaking
open the ammunition cases, each took
about so rounds of ammunition.
The news soon reached the ears of
Gen. S. S. Sumner commander of the
LIST division of the I'd army corps, and
he ordered out the Sd cavalry, the 10th
Ohio and the 35th Michigan regiments.
The men We're deployed as skirmishers
and the woods in the vicinity of the
camp were secured. The entire lot,
fully armed was finally rounded up
and put under guard. General Sumner
ordered all passes confiscated and
placed the ringleaders in irons. The
military authorities refuse to make
known the names OF the men under ar
rest. Hadley was taken outside At
lanta for safe keeping.

I the interminable difficulties and

Our country is the United States of

for growth on this continent. Mexico,
Central America, British America,

come parts of the United States of
