OFFICIAL PAPER. xENOSHA COUNTY
THURSDAY, JANUARY "a, 1901.

THE Milwaukee Journal well says
that "Reforn1 is a fine catchword, but
an intricate and dangerous business to
undertake off hand" And reform is
likewise an omnipresent necessity,
which no attempt to meet, though 1t
miscarry or die a-borning, should be
sneezed at. One of the greatest obsta-
Giles to effective reform is the tendency
to treat all efforts in that direction as
pretense or policy. If every attempt at
reform were at least accredited with
honesty of purpose and judged on it's
merits rather than on its environment,
effectua1 reforms would be more poss1-
Bile. To cast the odiurn of hypocrisy
upon any reform movement merely on
the presumption that the man or the
party back of the movement is too self
enprossed to be honest in reform, is
not likely to defeat the selfish purpose,
if there be one, and may render abor-
tive an honest attempt at improve
ment. AS reform sis an intricate and
dangerous business, it should be treat
ed as such. Any reform has the right
to be treated impersona11y. 1t is the
public concern, it's proposals and prop
ositions should be held up to the light
and examined closely and honestly
and adjudged on what they are, and
rot as what prejudicia1 opinion of the
causes or considerations or individu-
ais that created them, prompts men to
think they may be.

Park Avenue Residents May File
Many Suits Against the Wisc0n-
sin Telephone Company.
CLAIM PROPERTY IS DAMAGED
strlng1ng of Wires on Street is Alleged to
cation for Resident Property.

A big fight is in prospect between
the residents of Park avenue and the
officials of the Wisconsin Telephone
Company, and it is probable that be-
fore many days suits will be filed
against the company demanding dam
ages. The suits will be the outcome
of the recent action of the company in
stretching large number of wires
along the avenue. Property owners
claim that the noise from the wires is
something terrible. One of the prop
erty owners stated there wassbut one
room in his house in which he was
able TO sleep and that the value of his
property had been greatly reduced by
the stretching of the wires. John I.
Yu1e has threatened to take some &C
ton against the company and he is
now awaiting the action of the courts
on the fight made by the Racine prop-
erty owners against the Citizens'fTele-
phone company Of that city. For the
past three days attorney G. r. McDow-
ell has been in Racine fighting with
the people against the encroachments
pie got temporary setback. TOmor-
row the case will be taken up again,
and if the verdict is in favor of the in
functions the actions against the Wis
consin company in this city will prob
ably be started at once. There is a
unity of feeling among the residents of
Park avenue in opposition to the wires
nd yI1S1n 1o1 In
held, several informal meetings have
been held and all are in favor of max
ing fight against the company and
seeking to have the wires btaken to a
back street. Mr.. Yu1e claims that the
company can yet be enjoineds and not
a few of the residents of the street are
in favor of a violent ands forcib1e at
tack upon the property of the COM
pany. However, there is measure of
damages if property has been injured
and it is proba Bile that the matter will
be left to the courts.
This fight is said to have been one of
the reasons for the Wisconsin COM
pany stopping work in Kenosha, and
the officials of the company have
! sought to reach an agreement with the
property owners, but this has failed to
accomplish anything. The people de-
mand that the wires shall be rem owed
or else placed underground. The COM
pany have stated that it would not be a
paying proposition to place wires I'M
derground in Kenosha, but the de-
mands of the property owners mey yet
be allowed rather than to have the
company engu1fed in a long list of
suits.

WINSTON CHURCHILL spoke in Mil
waukee last evening on his expert
ences and the Boer-British war. He
said that the war was a terrible war,
that the Beers were the greatest fight
ers on earth, and that both sides were
anxious for the war to end, and that he
hoped for the moral support of the
United States. That is the English
of it. From all reports Mr.. Churchill
did not enter very deeply into the con-
siderations that led up to the war. He
says that there have been enormous
losses on both sides, that the English
love the Beers and that they want the
trouble to cease, but he failed to make
it clear that the Englishmen were do
ing very much toward bringing about
an end of hostilities.
If the Beers would simply throw up
the fight and throw themselves on the
mercy of Great Britain, the English
mans innate desire for peace would be
satisfied. But how about the Boer?
No doubt the English people are anx-
ious for peace, but, Notwithstanding
they might have avoided it, they will
never regard it as possible, in this case,
until the Beers sue for it. To ask the
moral support of the United States in
a case of that kind is almost laugh
able. The people of this country are
troubled with the belief that England
has acted the bully toward the Beers
and there is quite unanimous senti.
ment here to the effect that, if we
should vouchsafe support of any kind
to the English government, it would
be immoral rather than moral.

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumb1ing sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirelysc1osed deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that can not be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

A KENOsHA COMPANY.
Artists in Kenosba Form the Emerson
Comedy Company"

The Emerson Comedy Company"
is the latest organization to be formed
in Kenosha. Al a meeting a few
nights ago several artists in the city
met and organized a comedy company
to play the smaller cities about Keno
sha. Every member of the troupe is
from this city and while the names of
the members of the company have not
as yet been made public, several we'll
known musicians are on the list. The
company will be managed by Mr.. En-
erson, former member of the William
Owen company. They will make their
first appearance in about two weeks at
Antioch. The play will be ga Hot Old
Time, written and staged by Mr.. En-
erson. The company are now booking
dates for the season and it is their plan
to play two nights in the week at Ke-
nosha county towns. Later in the
season they will be seen in Kenosha.

Followers of Dr.. KhreiIIa Not Attending
Meetings Held by the Persians
in This City.
THEY SAY KHREILLA is WRONG.
Hagi Hassan Tells His Followers that the
Chicago Teacher is Corrupting the
Teachings by Seeking Money.

From all indications there will be no
union of the different branches of the
Truth Knowers'' IN this city as a re-
suit of the visit of the Persian mis-
sionaries. The followers of DR..
Khreil1a had been invited to attend the
meetings now being held, but only one
member of the contesting faction has
as yet been seen at the meetings.
Last evening large crowd of the
followers of BAHIA Ul1ah gathered at
the University school, and a represent
tative was sent to ask members of the
Khrei1la faction toiattend. They de-
Clined to come unless the Chicago
teacher was present. After the regular
teaching by Mira Assad-Ullah, Hagi
Hassan took up the task of explaining
the difference between the Chicago
teacher and the true believers of the
Persian religion. He stated that
Khreil1a had been interviewed five
times by him, but he had not been
able to lead him from the error of his
way. In speaking of the teachings of
Khreil1a, Hagi Hassan stated that they
were far from the truth. He stated
that the Chicago mans followers had
been taught to believe that the sue
cessor of BAHIA U11ah was the NANTES
tation of the Almighty and that he
was the Messiah which had been ex-
pected. The missionaries declared
that this was entirely wrong as the
Messiah was not expected until after
four thousand years had elapsed.
Hassan further accused Khreilla of
degrading the teachings of the religion
by using them as a way to secure
money. The book which has recently
been issued by the Chicago man also
met with disfavor, and the Persian
claimed that there was no power given
to Khrei11a to alter the teachings and
sign his name to the changes.
A further effort will be made to get
the two factions together, but it is
hardly possible that it will result in
the union being consumated. The
Kenosha Trtuh Knowers are now a
very small sect and less than fifty
members attend the meetings.

Sterling Plant Is to be Used for the
Sole Purpose of Producing
Automobiles.
INVENTION OF THOS. B. JEFFREY.
New Machine will be Placed on the Market
in the spr1ng-Nr Jeffery Pleased With
the CITY as Manufacturing Center.

The Sterling factoryiis nowain oper-
alton again and while only a few men
are employed, the enterprise and push
of Thomas B. Jeffery and his son
promise to make the place busy one
before the season is over. All doubts
are now removed as to the plans for
the factory, as Mr.. Jeffrey stated to a
representative of this paper today that
the entire factory will be used for the
manufacture of automobiles and the
product promises to Ecause quite
furore in the world of vehicles Work
has been started on the sample ma
chimes and they will be ready for sale
by the opening of spring. Mr.. Jeffery
said there was little to be said in re-
gard to the product. He stated that it
was gasoline automobile which had
been the joint invention of himself
and his son, and a machine' that had a
great many advantages over those now
on the market. It will be made'in only
one style, the Stanhope.
In speaking of the future of the
Sterling factory Mr.. Jeffrey. said that
it was altogether too soon to .say what
would be done. The good name will
be retained and much of the machinery
left in the plant is being overhau1ed
and will be used in the manufacture of
the automobiles. He stated that the
report that he would also make sewing
machines was without any foundation,
as he would only have the one product
and that would be the best that good
workmanship and splendid material
could put upon the market.
The factory is already taking on
signs of activity. Quite number of
men are employed and machines are
being put in readiness for putting on a
large force of men as soon as the trade
season opens. An elaborate account
of the plans of Mr.. Jeffrey and his new
invention will probably be published
in one of the technical journals Gin the
near future and at that time more
extended notice of the product of the
factory will be made.
Mr.. Jeffrey has received a warm
welcome from our manufacturers and is
highly pleased with the prospects of
Kenosha as manufacturing center.

When it comes to matters of religion
Kenosha and Kenosha vicinity can
discount any other section of the Bad
oer State, From the earliest days of
our statehood, when the trenz1ed
Strang made an almost successful
bid for the mantle of Joseph Smith,
that finally fell on the shoulders of the
revered Brigham Young, the locality
Of Kenosha has been the mecca of al
most all the gods in the calendar the
devotees of religion in nearly every
possible form has fourished IN this
favored locality.
The religions represented in Keno
sha and vicinity now are quite pan
theistic. We have all the ram1tlca-
tons of the Christian religion, both
Catholic and Protestant; we have those
of the Christian Scierce church and
those Of the congregation of bowie;
we have the worshippers of Christ, OF
almost every creed and denomination,
the worshippers of Confuc1us, OF Bao
and of BAHIA U11ah. In fact, we are re-
1igious in the extreme, and as the
world goes, a pretty good set OF people.

TO REGULATE MARRIAGES.
Senator Stout Introduced a Marriage Bill
Into the State Senate


The Wisconsin Legislature seems
bent upon making marriage as difficult
as the biblical passage of a camel
through the eye of a needle. Not con-
tent with the True law passed two
years ago, it produced an amendment
Wednesday which makes marriage
still more difficult and will probably
have the effect of fastening weddings
before it can take effect. It was intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Stout,
of Menominee. It provides for the ap-
pointment of local boards of physicians
who shall consider all app1ica tons for
license to marry and forbids any mar
rage without their approval. The bill
provides that within thirty days after
it's passage the probate judge in each
county shall appoint three reputable
practicing physicians, residents of the
county, no two belonging to the same
school of medicine, and one, where
possible, lady, whose duty it shall be
to consider and pass upon all app1ica-
lions for license to marry, and no Ii
cense to marry shall be granted until
the applicants shall receive from this
board certificate setting forth that
such applicants are free from any of
following ailments, any of which shall
be deemed sufficient cause for refusing
a license: Dipsomania, true insanity,
hereditary insanity or insanity result
ing from vice or the use of drugs, any
1oathsome disease, hereditary tuber-
cu1osis or consumption. The state
board of health is empowered to re-
move any member of the board for in
efficiency or neglect of duty, and an
appeal from the decision of the local
board may be made to the state board
of health.
Each applicant for license to marry
is required to pay an examination fee
of $3.50, the fees to be divided among
the board of examiners if the total
amounts to more than $1,000 a year
each. The balance must be turned in
to the county treasury. The county
clerk is made clerk of the examining
board without extra compensation.
Any person who shall marry couple
not provided with proper license is
made liable to fine of not more than
$500 or Imprisonment for not more
than one year.
To Tax Street Railway Companies.
At Tuesday nights session Senator
Mills introduced big batch of bills,
including two of more than ordinary
Importance. One was bill TO repeal
the present law under which the street
railway companies pay license fee in
lieu of other taxes, and the other to re-
duce the fees of the oil inspectors. If
The first passes the property of street
railway companies will be subject to
assessment as other property is.

ern Star Thursday evening at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Ham abs

If the present session of the Leg1sla-
ture does not wind up with some re-
form, it will not be because it did not
start out with plenty of reform timber
aboard the ship of state. Reform is
nothing less than rampant in Madl-
son. 1t is impossible to move about
the State Capital without coming in
contact with reform of some kind. Ii
ali the reform sentiment and raw ma
terial at Madison just now ever be-

there will be some reform legislation

ton is over that you will be able to

Havi1in, former resident of this city,
committed suicide in that city on the
ninth of January. Notice of the
woman's death was published in this

shown their good faith by setting out
upon another attempt at early closing.
They have thus not only demonstrated
their willingness to do their part in
promoting the general adoption of the
system, but they have rendered their
endorsement to the wisdom and justice
of the system. Too much must not be
asked of the merchants, however. Il
the movement is to meet successful
issue and the early closing is to be
come custom, the people must lent
their cooperation.

THE accounts of the 1ynching at

side by side. They are of class.
Possibly the 1ynching is a little less

to exist some justification, whereas
for the deeds of savage cruelty related
in the Booz inquiry, there exists not
the smallest justification or extenua
