Editor Finally Finds His Dog, being
Cared For at a Home on
The North Side.
ACTION IS DISMISSED IN COURT.
Editor Was so Plsgsed TO Get The Dog Rack
That he Pays the Costs of the Action
Italians Take Their Deg Home.

The suit of Sam Rafe1le VS. G. p.
Hewitt, which was scheduled to come
up in the Justice court this morning,
failed to come up and just at present
the editor is nursing a depleted pocket
book as result of neglect in educa-
ton in the dog line. For the last two
weeks the editor had been serving the
delicacies of the season tol an Italians
dog, which had been quartered at the
hospital of DIR. Hernsheim, awaiting
the decision of the courts as to it's
ownership, but this morning he was
released and he trotted off home with
his Italian master while the editor
fingered behind to settle up the costs
of the action. It was simply case of
mistaken identity. The dog of the
Italian and the canine of the editor
were very much alike but the develop
ments of yesterday afternoon showed
that the editors dog was not the one
which has been in custody for two
long weary weeks. During the after
noon, as is his wont, the editor stro1led
down to the barn to look at the canine
and while there he discovered that
there was man who had found anoth-
er dog which was as much like the
dog cmpounded as the two Dromios
of Shakespeare. This opened new
question for discussion and the editor
at once sought out the other dog. It
was easily found and it proved to be
very similar to the other dog which
the editor had claimed. He at once
went further into the matter and
found that this was really his long
lost dog, another triumpha1 procession
was formed and the second dog was
was taken to the editors home on
Durkee avenue, where it will probably
remain.
The case which promised to be hard
fought one and which would have been
quite sensa tiona1 had it come to trial,
in this manner finds a happy ending.
The editor and the Italian are both
satisfied and the Italians dog returns
home after enjoying two weeks of
opu1ency.

THEIR ANNUAL FEAST
Members of the James s. Barr Hook
and Ladder Co. Give a Banquet
Friday Evening.
INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS
Members Ro1d Annual Meeting and Then
Gather Around Festal Board, With Chief
Barr as the Guest of Honor.

The James S. Barr Hook and Ladder
Company held it's annual reunion and
banquet at Harman's restaurant FRI
day evening, and the event was one of
the most enjoyable that ever occurred
among the fremen of the city. The
men meet many times during the year,
but many of these times are when
fighting the fire fiend, and the annual
rennion was looked forward to with
great deal of pleasure.
Early in the evening the members
of the company gathered at the fire
mems room in the Masonic building
and the annual installation of officers
was held. After this was over the fire
1addies retired to the banquet hall and
Chief of the Department Barr Joined
them as guest of honor.
The restaurant had been turned over
to the firemen and the long table look
ed exceedingly pleasing with its white
cloth and decorations of smi1ax and
carnations. A course supper was
served, which was the equal of any
banquet ever served in the city. After
supper the fremen pushed back their
chairs and when cigars had been lit
the toasts began. A long program of
impromptu toasts had been arranged
and late in the evening the members
of the company started the stories
going round and every man was forced
to tell one before the banquet was de-
c1ared ended. The party broke up
shortly after midnight and it will go
down on the records as the most enjoy
able reunion ever held by the company.

CAUSED SOME EXCITEMENT
Main Stseet Pedestrians Join in Chase for
Man Wanted by the Police.

There was lots of excitement on
Main street about eight o'clock Friday
evening. The trouble all came about
on account of some discussion between
the manager and one of the men en-
p1oyed by the Telephone company in
replacing the wires in Kenosha. The
man was named Beck. He had been
at work for the company and Friday
evening he made demand for his
wages. The manager of the workmen
had paid him five dollars and asked
the man to settle up for suit of
clothes. AT this point the man Beck
became abusive and was ordered to
leave the hotel where the discussion
had been held. The man refused to
leave and Officer O'Hare was called.
When the officer was called Beck
started to run. The man started off at
lively trot down Park street with the
telephone man and the officer after
him. When the chase started it seemed
that the man must have committed
some terrible crime and every one on
the street joined in the chase. AS the
man rounded the corner at the Malt
house Chief of Police O'Hare fired
shot in the air and the man surrend-
cred. He was placed in jail for the
night and this morning paid a fine in
Justice S1ater's court on charge of
disorder1y conduct.

censure or criticism. No good citizen
wants more or less than that subject
of such Importance should be given
careful deliberation before it finds a
place in the statute books"
The Sentinel takes exception to what
Mr.. Coe says, and in reply goes into
quite a long and elaborate defense of
the proposed primary election law, its
purpose, and it's fitness to serve that
purpose.
We are of the opinion that the Sen
tinel missed the purport of Mr.. Goes
there is no room for exception to what
Mr.. Coe has said. He has merely made
a plea that the question of the primary
election law be brought up by the leg
Eislature and given fair treatment on
it's merits. The fact that some reform
is imperative along the line at which
the primary election law aims is gen
orally conceded, but that the mere
fact that the scheme to effect such
reform, originated by Mr.. La Toilette,
has been embodied in the platform at a
harmony convention preceding gen
era1 election, does not make it OBJ
1igatory on the party in power in the
state Legislature to pass particular
law regardless of it's merits, because it
is supposed to accomplish the purpose
by few friends or political leaders,.
It is true, as Mr.. Coe says, that a
great portion of the people are in ignor-
ance as to the nature of the primary
election law. At time when it might
have attracted public attention
throughout the state the public mind
was engrossed with other things. Let
it be brought up at the next session of
the state legislature and discussed on
its merits and the people will take it
up quickly enough and study it care
fully because it is a question in which
all are interested. They will learn its
true character, be able to judge it on
it's merits, and if it is found worthy of
passage the public will commend the
party and the Legislature for it's pass
age, while if it is killed because
thought unworthy, the public will know
that the party has acted in all good
faith. Whatever happens the law
should be judged according to its
merits and not hustled through the
legislature in blind haste to redeem a
so called party pledge. A cry raised
against party because it has failed
to enact a measure to which it has
seemingly been pledged, but which,
after sincere and mature de1iberation
it has thought best to repudiate, can
avail nothing. In the case of the
present law there is the farther extenu-
alton that the proposition arose among
the leaders of the party and not among
the citizens of the state generally.

OFFICIAL PApER-KENOSHA COUNTY
Early Closing.

6d1 ~ 04OOAA6'
At the meeting of the Woman's
Club yesterday Miss Lester made
plea before the ladies in behalf of
early closing among the stores OF the
city. In another column will be found
a brief resume of the remarks of Miss
Lester in the interests of those of her
own sex and all who are employed in
the various stores of Kenosha.
Miss Lester speaks very feelingly on
the subject. She is an advocate of
early closing because she has made 1t
business to observe the results of the
long hour system among the girls and
women especially who are compelled
to give so many hours each day to
their employers. She says that it is
fact that the clerks are confined to
their work from thirteen to fifteen
hours a day. To remedy this condition
Miss Lester asks nothing of the en-
blowers, but exhorts the women to
forego their after supper shopping IN
order that there may be no necessity of
keeping the stores open and the clerks
at their posts.
Miss Testers plan for ame1iorating
the condition of clerks is certainly
novel one, and would as certainly
prove an effective one if the co-opera-
ton of the..women could be secured. 1t
is true1y a contamination devoutly
to be wished. Such settlement of the
difficulty would conserve the interests
of all concerned, giving the clerks
more hours of leisure, and leaving the
interests of the employer unimpaired.
The present condition, on the other
hand, is quite generally conceded to be
unsatisfactory on all sides. The
clerks are worked to their strengths
limit, with the result that as clerks
they become less rather than more eff
Gent, and that the interests of their
employers are to that degree made to
suffer rather than enhanced. Almost
no other class of employees serve so
long hours as the clerk and it is I'M
~questionab bic that very few lines of oc-
cupation call for harder and more try
ing work than that of the clerk. Much
of her work is heavy and she is on her
feet, with very little interruption, from
the time she reports in the morning
until the lights are out at night. To
sustain such exertion for thirteen or
fourteen hours day, with only half
hour rests at noon and evening, is be-
yond the strength of the average girl.
It would seem that change to the
early closing system would be equally
beneficial to the employer. In fact it
merchants to achieve such a system.
They feel the long hours as much as
their clerks and are as DESTROYS, appar-
entity, of reverting to another system.
Popular demand, however, seems to be
at the root of the difficulty. Miss
Testers plan is to turn the tide of pub
lie sentiment. No doubt, were the
people willing to do their shopping
during the day or on such evenings as
the stores are open, compromise short
hour system could be effected that
would prove of great benefit to patron,
employer and clerk alike. If the people
of the city would cooperate with Miss
Lester and the ladies of the Woman's
club in this matter an novation
might be easily brought about.
