WHEN RUDE WENT TO MORROW
Evening Wisconsin Tells a Good Story of
the Kenosha Pitcher at County Fair.

Evening Wisconsin Tells Good Story of
the Kenosha Pitcher at County Fair.
The Evening Wisconsin has the fol-
lowing interesting little story of Rube
Waddell and his powers as pitcher:
"Rube Waddell is probably the big
gest freak on the diamond. About
month ago he ran away from Chicago
and played with the country teams at
the fairs throughout the State. His
rube instincts are truly well developed.
The funniest incident of the trip oc-
Cured at little town of Morrow, The
team of that town had not won game
in two years, SO engaged Rube to do
the twirling. Rube gave the first three
men at bat their bases on balls. Then
he turned to the third baseman of his
team and motioned him to come to him.
OF course the third baseman was de-
lighted-he was to consult with the
great Ruhe. Then he motioned to the
second baseman, who also ran over to
where Rube was. The shortstop
looked lonesome and he was called
over. Last, but not least, the first
baseman was called to take part in the
consulta ton. When all four stood
around Rube he said: CHOW, you fell
lows, stand right where you are. lam
going to strike out the next three
men," and he did.

County Board Members are Already
Discussing the Appointment of a
Supervisor of Assessments.
HENRY JORDAN is SUGGESTED.
William Gunter, of Paris, is Also Named as
Candidate for this ofice.-Ap-
pointment Made in November.

The members of the County Board
when they come together in their an
nua1 session next month, will start the
session with fight in regard to the
election of supervisor of assessments
for Kenosha county. The office was.
created by recent action of the State
Legislature and ii is not only an inn
portant Office but an Office that offers a
splendid salary for the man who cam
secure the election.
The fight for the appointment is,
now OH and while it is being carried
on quietly it promises to be fight to-
finish. The country members of the
Board have brought up the name of
William Gunther, former supervisor
from the town of Paris, as their candi-,
date for the Office and they claim to be
practically united on Gunther as their
choice. The town members of the
Board have not been idle and after a
conference it has been decided to pro-
pose the name of Henry Jordan for the
office.
Mr.. JORDAN is certainly we'll quail
fed for the position. He is a large
holder of property in both the city and
country and has had great deal of
experience in the Iine demanded. The
office is an important one as the whole
assessment of the property of the
county is directed by the official. TAX
ing as he does the place of the Board
of Review he must be a man fully ac-
quainted with the values of property
in all parts of the city and county and
he must be a man distinguished for
his honesty and fair dealing.
Mr.. Gunther, who has been urged by
the county members of the Board, is a.
man with character beyond reproach
but it is claimed that he is not &C.
quainted with the value that should be.
set up for the property to be assessed
in the city.
The official must be elected by ma
iority vote of the members Of the.
Board and from expressions heard a
few weeks before the meeting it looks
as if a dead lock would result.
The office is a lucrative one, paying
the holder four dollars day and 1iDer--
al allowance for expenses.

PRICE OF MEAT HIGH,.
Packers Deny Responsibility and Place Tt
on the Drought

The retail price of meats in Kenosha
wife, the restaurant keeper and the
hotel proprietor all are feeling the
effects of the drought which extended
over the country last summer. Search
ty of corn and other feed for fattening
stock is the reason assigned for the in
creased price of meats.
Within the last few months beef has
been advanced from two to three cents
a pound, the heaviest increase in prices,
being on the finer grades and choice
cuts. Although those who can afford
to buy the better meats are bearing
the bulk of the burden, even the poorer
consumers are finding that their money
goes only a little way in a butcher
shop.
It has been charged by some Of the
retailers that the big packing com
panies have formed com bin alton for
the advance Of the prices of all meats.
But this is denied. Those charged
with being in the reported combina-
ton are Armour & Co., Nelson, Morris
& Co., Swift & Co., and the Cudahy
Packing company. The representa-
tives of the concerns named point to-
the higher prices of corn and the scar
city of the grain and the higher prices
of cattle as the real cause for the high
er prices of the product.
There is feeling of uneasiness
among the retailers for fear that the
prices will go still higher before the
winter is far advanced. December and
January usually mark the highest
prices of the year in the beef market
and should the same rule hold good
this season the prices of choice grades
of beef will amount to dismaying fig
ures by the holiday season.
During the last few weeks the mar
ket has been flooded with stock which
can be c1assed as nothing but feeders
but which the owners were compelled
to send to the market, owing to the
lack of feed with which to fatten them
At the same time the choice native
cornfed cattle have been so scarce that
the prices of the few offerings have
been going skyward
Mutton, veal and pork have steadily
followed the upward course of beef.

THE NEW ELKS LODGE.
Installation of the New Chapter in Keno
sha During the Early Winter.

One of the notab BILE events of the
early winter in Kenosha will be the
installation of the new Chapter of
Elks in this city. The arrangements
for the installation of the Chapter are
now being made and it has been SO ar
ranged that hundreds of the members
of the order from different cities in the
Northwest will be in the city to take
part in the ceremonies. The new
Chapter will start out with ffty-four
members on the charter roll, of this
number dozen having been initiated
into the E1ks at other cities. The
membership includes many of the
leading men of the city and the order
is expected to be one of hesstrongest
in the city.
The ceremony of installation of the
new Chapter will be in charge of the
E1ks at Racine, they being the nearest
Chapter. Notwithstanding this fact
the Elks of Chicago promise to come
to Kenosha in body and assist in the
installation of the inew chapter. The
installation will be accompanied with
a banquet and a social function, at
which several hundred Elks will be
present.

TO BUILD GREAT HOUSES.
Jefferson Ice Company Plans Erection of
Big Houses at Powers Lake.

The Jefferson Ice company, of Chi
cago, are negotiating for the purchase
of : large tract of land adjoining Pow
ers lake, on which will be erected one
of the largest, if not the largest ice
house ever built in Kenosha county.
The company now owns large piece
of land on the lake front, but they
claim that it is altogether too small for
the purpose and that a larger tract
must be secured. 1t is the plan of the
Jefferson company to enter into COM
petition for the ice business of South
ern Wisconsin. In Chicago the Jeffer-
son company has proved itself to be
more than a match for the big trust,
and in extending it's business the peo-
pie of this section of the country will
be greatly benefited and it is more
than proba BILE that there will be big
drop in ice by the opening of the next
season.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
philip Enz Expired Wednesday lat His
Home in the Town of somers.


Philip Enz, one of the pioneer set
tiers of the county, died shortly after
one O'Clock Wednesday afternoon at
his residence in the town of Somers.
The deceased was in his eighty-fourth
wear. He had been i'll for many weeks
and his advanced age made it impossi-
BILE for him to combat the ravages of
disease.
The deceased was one of the oldest
and best known residents of the
county. He was native of Germany,
but came to this county in the early
forties taking a claim from the gov
eminent. He resided on the same
tract of land uQ to the time of his
death. He was always greatly inter
ested in the affairs of the town of
Somers and his death leaves vacancy
among the counselors of the little town
which will be hard to fill.

OF liberty in their unhappy country. ar
even that it might be instrumental in
securing better terms for the Boer sur

victory is possible is entitled to unlim-

may be called into question if he main

OF hope has departed and the only result
must be the infliction Of additional
hardship upon his compatriots. The
Transvaal presents a case in point.
While victory was hoped for by their

challenged the admiration even of their

BANGING HEARST IN ,EFFiGY.

While anarchy in this country has re-
ceived its chief encouragement from
the yellow press and public sentiment
against William r. Hearst of the New
York Journal is very bitter in view OF
his ra'bid and continuous abuse of the
president. nothing is to be gained for
the cause of good government by the
to be popular amusement these days.
No man in the country is receiving just
now such a severe and deserved roast
ing as Hearst His three papers seem
to be published with the sole view OF
creating general discomfort, of melting
lawlessness, of assailing the records and
motives Of public men and of creating
distrust everywhere. Naturally such
newspapers breed and encourage an
archy. They supply the so-called argu-
ments for anarchist speakers and
writer's. They notify the anarchists of
foreign lands that here they may find
asylum and sympathy. Yellow journal
nalism has run mad in the United States,
tragedy traceable to enemies of law and
order and of whom the yellow journals
were the mouth pieces. the American
people of every class and occupation
have determined that there shall be a
halt. They can bring about the sup
preston of every incendiary sheet in the
country by simply Withdrawing or re-
fusing the patronage essential to its
existence. But hanging the proprietors
in eftigy, as was done in New York city
last week. will not accomplish the re-
form.

THE IRRIGATION ARGUMENT.

There is one argument in favor of gov
eminent aid for arid land irrigation in
the west which the Inter Mountain has
not noted among the very able articles
on that subject which it's exchanges are
now publishing.
There is no cause to believe that the
United States will always escape the
visit great areas of territory in Aus
tralia, British India, Russia and South
America. If in some coming year such
a drouth should occur in the wheat and
corn growing states Of the Mississippi
valley. destroying every 'vestige OF cereal
growth where irrigation Is not employed,
this country would not only suffer a
tremendous loss in money, hut it would
be at the mercy of Russia, India and
South America for breadstuffs. If, on the
other hand, should that time come, and
If in the meantime, with the aid of the
government, the people of the west had
been enabled by system of water
storage to irrigate the now arid lands
and seed them for crops that would
ripen independently of atmospheric con-
ditions, the west could readily supply
the nation with breadstuffs in the crisis
and prevent a disastrous drain of money
by Europe.
If happily the country should escape
the drouth which so often visits its
horrors upon other parts of the world,
the now desert lands of the west could
nevertheless be converted into farms
for millions of homeseekers, who would
be enriched by the expectation Of an in
creased surplus to less favored countries.
In any event the millions of acres OF
idle lands in the west should be brought
under cultivation and a proper system
Of storing water devised and put into
practical effect by competent engineers
under government direction. Until that
great work shall lbe accomplished the
people Of the United States will never
be free from danger Of drouth, with all
its attendant calamities. Under proper
system of irrigation the arid land states
of the west can feed the nation when
necessary. independently Of rainfall or
climatic conditions. When that is not
necessary it can feed some other
nation.
