Union Stock Yards.

one of the gigantic concerns in that
great city, fifty miles away, where
business is projected on herculean
plans, is the Union Stock Yards. Ac-
cording to the Chicago Tribune, the
plant covers a square mile. There, be-
tween forty and ifty thousand men
Gnd employment. Through those
yards fifteen million animals are an
nuallY driven. A million dollars
worth of live stock is sold every day.
During the thirty-fve years since its
establishment the Chicago market has
received a total of 3O7, 81 693 animals
valued at SIS, sos, 75O,31O 1t is a big
thing. Yards Of such nature have
been established in many small places
in Wisconsin, perhaps auxiliary to Chi
cago, at least finding in Chicago their
market. Men have grown rich in that
kind of merchandise. Why not start a
similar enterprise in Kenosha? We
have depots for cabbages and for
fruits, why not for cattle? KenOsha is
the center of famous grazing region,
horses, cattle, hogs and sheep are
raised in this section unsurpassed by
any other in the State. To be sure
a aarly all the live stock of tn county
Gnds it's goal in Chicago, but there are
many scores of farmers who would as
soon, and perhaps it would be more
convenient, sell in Kenosha as il
smaller places. Why not start cat

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Horse Belonging to DR.. Wtndesheim Runs
Away and Causes a Commotion

Quite little CommOtion was caused
on Main street this morning shortly
before noon on account of runaway
accident, in which DR.. G. w. Winde-
sheim, Miss Lavinia Musgrave and
north side boy, whose name could not
be obtained, were the principal actors.
DR.. Windesheim and Miss Musgrave
were riding in a sleigh, and while
they were driving on Main streer, near
the First National Bank, a boy who
had been riding on a bob sled jumped
off the sled and ran directly in front of
zthe sleigh in which the doctor was rid
ing. The BOY jumped in front of the
doctors horse so suddenly that the
doctor was not able to stop and the
horse trampled on the boy, throwing
him under the sleigh One of the rum
ners passed over the PROSTATE form of
the boy and the result was that the
sleigh was upset and the doctor AID
Miss Musgrave were thrown in a heap
on the side of the street. Both es-
capped uninjured and the boy met a
81 milar lucky escape. AS far as can be
ascertained he was not injured in any
way. AS soon as the boy was released
from under the sleigh he ran across
the bridge and could not be found.
l. When the horse found that the bur-
den of the sleigh had been released he
started to run away and ran down
Main street and around a block and
back toward the north side. AS the
horse ran across the Main street bridge
the sleigh struck the side of the bridge
and. was demolished. Later the horse
was captured in the southern part of
the city. The damage to the sleigh
and horse will be considera BILE but it
| was very fortunate that some of the
participants in the runaway did not
| meet with serious injury.

Board of Education Refuses to Open
the School Grounds for the Use
of the Pupils. 0a
COMPROMISE is EFFECTED
Grounds will be Opened Fifteen Minutes
Earlter-High School Committee
Asks for New Rules.

Two thousand children and little
band of school teachers fought bat
tie Tuesday night for the possession of
the school grounds of Kenosha and the
teachers won an easy victory. The
fight between the teachers and the pu-
pills was brought about by the resolu-
ton of Commissioner Hackley, asking
that the rules of the Board be changed
so as to permit the grounds of the
schools to be open to the pupils during
the noon hour. Since the notice of the
change of rules was made the teachers
have been making a hot fight against
the passage of such rule and their
victory, while not complete one,
shows that the school grounds will not
be opened to the pupils save for linn
tied period
At the meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation this question produced a most
lively discussion. Prof. Better had
been sent to the meeting to represent
the teachers in their protest against
the resolution, and from the case the
Professor made it would seem that the
children of Kenosha are an exceeding
" hard lot. Prof. Wiswal1 also re-
fused to give his sanction to the open
ing of the grounds during the noon
hour. The main objection to the plan
was the fact that it was thought that
if the grounds were opened one of the
teachers would be force' to be in con-
slant attendance during the noon
hour and the teachers were unwilling
to accept this added duty. When the
vote on the adoption of the rule was
taken the tea cheers had the ma jority of
the Board and compromise was
finally arranged by which the grounds
will be opened at 1 o'clock. Commits
sioner Hackley at once served notice
that he would ask to have the rules
changed so that both buildings and
grounds will be open for the free &C
cess of the pupils at o'clock.
The incident is not considered closed
as the action taken by the teachers in
fighting the resolution of the Board
has caused considerable enmity among
the mem bers Of the Board and the old
fight will probably come up again
when the teachers are reelected in the
spring.
Another matter of interest taken up
by the Board Tuesday evening was the
notice given by the High school COM
n1ittee that rule would be presented
for adoption asking that no change of
text books be made in the High school
without the consent of the High school
committee. 1t is stated that several
changes have been made recently and
these we're not in any way made with
the consent of the committee.
The Teachers committee brought in
a report recommending that Miss
Washburn be appointed to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of
Miss Mcclellan, and that Miss Gene
We've Roblee be elected teacher in
the Primary department. The COM
mittee also recommended that Mrs.
Ella Williams be employed in her
present position for the rest of the
year. Alb the recommendation were
adopted. a-s ii
After the usual amount of routine
business the meeting adjourned.

WILLIAM sPIGGELHoFF DEAD
Former County Supervisor Died At His
Home IN the Town of Wheatland

A report from the town of Wheat
land announces that William Spiegel-
hOh, one of the best known men of the
county and a former mem Der of the
board of supervisors, died a his home
in Wheatland on last Sunday evening.
Very little has been learned in regard
to the death Of Ex-SupervisOr Spiege1-
hoff more than that death resulted
from an operation. The deceased was
about seventy years of age and had
been sufferer from kidney trouble for
many years. A short time ago it was
decided that an operation would be
necessary to pro1ong his life and the
operat ton was performed on Sunday.
It is stated that death followed in the
evening. The remains were inferred
this afternoon in the cemetery in
Wheatland.
The death of the former supervisor
caused profound sorrow in Kenosha
when it was announced today. Mr..
Spiege1hoff had been SO CT sely con-
nected with the work of the county
board during the last few years that
one in this city. He had been a resi-
dent of Wheatland many years and in
that time he had taken leading part
in the social and political life of the
town. Many times he has been chosen
to represent his town on the county
board and no one could eyer say that
the work was not done carefully and
we'll.
Only a short time before his retire
ment from the board Ia year ago. he
undertook to unrave1 the old Brighton
road matter and it was largely through
his labors that the road fight was so
successfully adjusted. In his private
life Mr.. Shiegelhof was great favor
lite with all classes and his death marks
the passing of one of the men who have
been instrumental in making Konosha
what it is today.
A more extended obituary of the de-
ceased will be published later.

The Cause of Carrie.

If Mrs. Carrie Nation is crank, she
is crank with host of friends. The
sympathy and support of hundreds
and thousands and tens of thousands
American citizens is offered to her.
That old lady and her Ratchet are re-
spected by people of all classes, castles,
professions, parties, even saloon keep
ers, have bowed the knee when she ap-
peared. An ovation awaits the i'm
perious Carrie wherever she goes.
Feb. 8 a bill was introduced in the
Kansas Legislature to 1egalize joint
smashing, and the bill was advanced
to a second reading. At Ho1ton a
thousand citizens propose to clean the
town of it's joints. Sunday last was
held great mass meeting in Topeka;
at that meeting three thousand people,
representing nearly all prominent bus
mess men of the city, issued an ulti-
matum to the effect that every joint in
Topeka must be closed, and giving the
Il
quit the business. If this order is not
obeYed a thousand armed men will
march on the joints to destroy them.
In fact, twelve hundred men have
signed cards p1edging themselves to
march at a moments notice to join the
hatchet brigade for the demolition of
the i11egitimate saloon. But why all
this? Not to defend the cause of Car
RE Nation, except as her cause repre-
sents the cause of righteousness, but
TO vindicate the honor of law. Every
Joint in Kansas is a wide open mouth
of anarchy. Not one exists under pro-
lection of the laws of the State. Each
and every one contradicts the will of
the people. They slap morality in the
face. They WELD a keener axe for the
destruction of the home and public
virtue than Carrie yields for the de-
mo1ition of a nefarious traffic. Mrs.
Nation is doing only what the Kansas
constabu1ary ought to have done, but
has miserab1y failed to do. She an
tagonizes All illegal and damnab1e
business, and the courts do not appre-
bend her or stay the swing of that
Ratchet, simply because every Judge
and Justice, every sheriff and police
man, knows that the business she
fights is illegal. The will of the peo-
pie is supreme in this country. The
people, when their officers and repre-
sentatives fail to enforce their will,
may be patient for a little while, but
eventually will rise and tramp1e law
1essness under their feet. It is not the
better plan that quiet citizens should
take the law into their own hands, but
it is inevita BILE sometimes: and, when
law is imperative and the States con-
stabu1ary are asleep or Indifferent, and
virtue is being pushed to the wall,
they cannot be blamed.
