If the ballot be spoiled, it must be
returned to the ballot clerk, who
must issue another ballot in its
stead, but not more than three in
all to any one voter. Five minutes
time is allowed in booth to mark
each ballot. Unofficial ballots or
memorandum to assist the voter IN
marking his ballot can be taken
into the booth, and may be used to
copy from. The ballot must not
be shown so that any person can
see how it has been marked by the
voter. After it is marked it should
be folded so that the inside cannot
be seen but so that the printed in
dorsements and signatures of the
ballot clerks on the outside may be
seen. Then the voter should pass

Tr REQUIRES a very' well balanced
mind and an arduous exercise or al
the Christian virtues to deal with re-
form wisely. Reform is vcl1taoi
Gree and da1liance with it is danger
ously liable to transform the best c1
men into ssabject slaves. No doubt
reform is a great good and necessity
when tempered with wisdom, but tie
danger lies III the fact that when tile
reform idea is once fully graspcd IN
mans mind, it is likely to dominate the
whole machinery and preside over all
the activities Of the intellect. Thore-
fore many a man who has gone TO
work with the commendable purpose
of accomplishing a needed reform has
become victim of the impetrs OF The
idea and fallen a dupe to unroas son
and fanaticism.
Such methods as have of late been
employed in the Legislature at Madl-
son are not compatible with honest re-
form. IF it were true that the voice OF
the people had SO unanimously de-
manded the enaction of the La Toilette
primary election law, it would not be
necessary to use rush tactics and gag
methods in getting SO popular a meas
ure safely through the lower branch OF
the State Legislature. The fact that
such methods must needs be resortcd
to to secure the passage of the Dill,
seems, indeed, to be evidence enough
to satisfy a fair minded man that the
public is not sufficiently devoted TO The
primary election CLAW, as it stands
presented in the Stevens bill, to Sc
cure its enactment, or even to guar
antee the administration in fore
ing it through. If the administration.
or the friends of the Governors bill,
were honest in their demand that it
must be enacted into law because
the people had demanded it, they would
find as good reason for going slow
with the bill in the very apparent alb
sence of public interest in the passage
Of the bill
But since The friends of the bill fail
to see this generally apparent GOODNESS
toward the bill prepared under the SUI
vervision of the Governor, the most
natural and 1enient conclusion is that
they, too, have been carried away 10y
reform frenzy, and have temporarily
lost their heads on The subj"et of re-
form. Possibly they likewise have SC
diligently de1udcd themselves with the
idea that the public did actually cry
out for the bill, that the de1usion has
settled into a reality in their minds to
the utter exclusion of all other i'm
pressions.

ance of voters. A voter upon en-
tering the polling place and giving
his name and residence will receive
a ballot from the ballot clerk which
must have Endorsed thereon the
names or initials of both ballot
clerks, and no other ballot can be
used. Upon receiving his ballot
the voter must retire alone to a
booth or compartment and prepare
the same for voting. A ballot
clerk may inform the voter as to
the proper manner of marking the

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all it's stages, and that
is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is. the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-

Cure is taken internally, acting direct

of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease and giving
the patient strength by building ur

Daring Robbery Committed al an Early
Hour This Morning at America
Saloon on Main Street.
BURGLARS GET LITTLE BOOTY.
While the Police Slumber and Sleep Burg
lars Take cash Register and Loot
It of It's Contents.

| While the police Of the city siumbered
and slept last night the old gang of
burglars which has terrified Kenosha
! for many months took another outing
and as a result the cash register in the
America saloon, on Main street, was
carried into the cellar of the saloon
and looted of it's contents. The rob-
! berry was a daring one. The saloon
was closed about midnight and after
the bartender had gone unknown men
entered the building through the cellar
and lighting the gas they made their
way to the first floor of the building.
Without being discovered they took
the cash register from it's place behind
the bar and carried it to the cellar,
where it was broken open and looted
of it's contents. The booty, as far as
can be ascertained, was small and
little less than twelve dollars IN money
is missing. After the work had been
done in the cellar the burglars left the
looted register and returned to the bar
room, where they proceeded to regale
themselves with champaign and all
the other de1icacies of the season. To
complete the lunch they took a couple
of hands full of good cigars and quiet
1y left the building.
While the officers must have passed
the building several times during the
robbery not one of the men were seen
and no report of the robbery was made
until Mr.. Vo11mer came down to the
saloon this morning. The register
was found in the cellar and in the till
was found a lead dollar and some small
change.
The police were at once notified, but
they have absolutely no clue to the
robbers. The men seem to have been
well acquainted with the arrangements
of the saloon, and especially with the
places where liquors were kept. They
evidently were looking for money and
nothing else, as large amounts of Ii
quor which could have been carried
away was left untouched.
Last night a number of suspicious
characters were seen about the saloon,
but there is not sufficient evidence
against the 1oafers to warrant their
arrest.

AS THE life Of such men as Alexan-

coin, and several other men Of fame in
the history of the United States, stand
as an evidence Of what native ability

achievement under the free institu-
tions that characterize this country, so
the lives of Andrew Carnegie and
Charles Schwab tell of what native
ability Of diverse kinds can accom-
plish along industrial and commercial
lines. While the northumberland,
Carnegie, achieved his unprecedented

through the exercise of rare business

ALDERMAN CURTIS is DEFEATED.
J. ]. Connery, a Saloon Keeper. Beats Hin
in Third ward. Ticket Composed Of
Good and Bad Men.

The Democrats of the city met in
caucus assembled in the different wards
tof the city Friday evening to nominate
ward officers and to select delegates &c
the city convention.
AS is customary The gang" was
very much in evidence at most OF the
caucuses, and the better element OF the
party took little interest in The nomi-
nations. Aldermen O'Brien, Smith,
and Greenwa1d were renominated for
office, little fight being made against
any Of them. Alderman Greenwald
carried the caucus of the Sixth ward
by storm, receiving every vote cast.
The surprise of the evening was the
turning down of Alderman 6. II.
Curtis, of the Third ward. Mr.. Curtis
has made splendid official, but he re-
fused to organize a slate to get the
nomination, and he was turned down
properly, j. ]. Connery, the Main

victory in the race for the aldermanic
nomination.

strcng without the fidelity and honesty
Of its citizens, then let us put the blame
where IL belongs, on the faithless, the
careless, and the Indifferent. Our
system Of government is not at fault.
Our Constitution is the best ever writ
ten; It is the strongest guarantee Of
human rights, and political equality
in existence, but IL is powerless with
out a people who are worthy of IT, Il
profits us little to wax indignant. as we
do, over the mischief wrought By un-
scrupulous managers in politics. Pol
itics are a stencil, "bosses" live like
lords, and make public offices spoils
for their retainers, because a majority
Of the people consent TO the situation
A letter recently written by a promi-
nent practical" politician expresses
the belief Of his class. and contains
more truth than we like to believe.
The day of high-t1ned individual
citizenship, OF actual self-rule in the
United States, is in my opinion forever
past. It is evident that the strong
and brainy few must govern. the dun
and purblind must serve. The bigger
portion OF every party are in the party
Tor personal advantages-that Is. for
honor or profit. The need Of satisfying
those who wish to be corrupted is the
great impelling motive Of all prefer
ential nominations. It is customary TO
say that the people are so much better
than the politicians. The very reverse
Is true. The politicians. as a whole.
are more honest and patriotic than the
average Of the party or the people
whom they represent II Is because Of
the degeneracy Of the citizen that no
American city is capable OF self gov
ernment. What is true of the cities Is
true of the whole country. II is not
self-governed; It is to-day far
ther from government than
ever before. and it Is nearer to It now
than it ever will be again"
