%, 1871, and has always resided here.
He graduated from the Kenosha High
school in 1889 as the va1edictorian OF
the class, after which for several years
he studied law and assisted his father
in the law office in Kenosha. In 1895
he graduated from the law school OF
the University of Wisconsin, with the
honors of his class, after having fin

The Aldermen.

E.. II. Ho1lister who has been named
for Alderman of tie First ward, is one
of the best known business men in
Kenosha. He has been in business
here for many years, and has made a
success in every way. He has taken a
great interest in the affairs of the city,
and if he is elected to represent tlL4
First ward in the city council the af-
fairs of the people will be taken care
of in a business like manner.
Walter Christian is the candidate of
the Republican party for Alderman IN
the Second ward. Mr.. Christian is a
young man of push and enterprise. He
has held a responsible position with
the Badger Brass works for several
years and is known to be man Of
principle and integrity. He has never
held a public Office nor has he ever
been candidate before.
w. r. Anderson, the nominee of the
Republicans for Alderman in the Third
ward, is a man who the people should
be proud to send to the common coun-
Gil. Mr.. Anderson has been resident
and property owner in Kenosha for
many years and his record is bright
one. He is thorough business man
and should be elected. 49,
J.H. Blair, who is the candidate for
Alderman in the fourth ward, is one of
the employees of the Northwestern
Railway. company in Kenosha. He
has been with the company for some
time and, while he has served the COM
pany loyalty, he has always been
great friend of Kenosha. Through
his agency the Northwestern company
has made many improvements in this
city. Mr.. Blair, as a man, is beyond
|reproach and he would make splen.

man in the Fifth ward is lone of the
largest property owners in the ward
He has always taken an active interest
in the affairs of the public andais con
versant on all questions now before
the people He will undoubtedly be
elected to represent the ward for the
next two years.
In the Seventh ward the Republicans
of the ward have named Otto Kohl as
a candidate for Alderman against AL
bert Smith, the Democratic nominee
Mr.. Kohls has never held public
office, but he has done valiant worl
for his party and for the city. He is 3
l1aboring man is we'll liked among hi:
fellow workmen. Mr.. Koh1s was in M
way candidate for the Office, but hi
accepted the nomination at the reques
of his many friends. The people O

Gil vote for him.
| Phil. Homelson, the Republican can
didate for Alderman in the eighth
ward, is one of the best known resi-
dents of the ward. He has lived II
his part of the city and has the re

|ished the course in the remarkably
short time of one year. In the same
year he was admitted to practice as
an attorney in the state and federal
courts and has since been engaged in
the practice of law with his father,
Mr.. M. A. Baker.
Mr. Baker is not, and has never as
pired to be, politician. He has al
ways evinced great interest in the
welfare of the city and has responded
to the duties of a citizen with a zeal
that has distinguished him as one who
does not hold the duties of citizenship
of small consideration. He has never
sought political office, but has been
elected by the people of his ward as
School Commissioner, and had been
nominated a second time for that hon
orab1e position. While serving the
city in that capacity, Mr.. Baker gave
a great deal of time to the work, mani
tested great deal of interest and in
variab1y transacted the business de-
yolving upon a School Commissioner,
requiring an expenditure of money,
strictly at his own expense rather
than at the expense of the city. In
many matters demanding the atten-
ton Of an attorney he has served the
city freely and with ability.
Although occupying no distinctly
political office in the city, Mr.. Baker
has frequently, in his private capacity,
exerted himself for the benefit and
profit of the city. One instance Of re-
cent date will be well remembered bX
the officers of the city especially, and
by all those who followed the case
with sufficient care to know the facts.
It arose when the city laid out street
in the south side. The process stirred
up a notorious suit, in which the city
stood fair to lose very valuable piece
of property or a considerable sum of
money. AT this time Mr.. Baker, who
appeared in the suit against the city,
conducted the affair in such way
that, while it brought satisfaction to
the client of Mr.. Baker, it saved the
city the loss of money that it could i'll
afford to lose. This suit not only
saved the city a large amount, but it
was a sacrifice to Mr.. Baker of a years
work, and the fees of an important
case. While the city at large is not
acquainted with this and other in
stances that might be mentioned
where Mr.. Baker has gratuitously
served the city, often at cost to HIM
| self of both time and money, they are
on record and bespeak Mr.. Baker as
man who not only deserves the conf
dence of the people, but who is most
willing and most able to guard the in
terests of the city fin the most wise
and disinterested manner.

were heard aud submitted.
The first claim to be rejected in

this morning. A Chinese named
Lam Chip presented claim for
$205 10 for the loss Of his grocery
store during the FIRE. While the
claim was being presented Judge
Kepoikai was watching the Chinese
with some show OF interest, aud he
finally asked him when he had be-
come a grocer here aud where he
hsd been before. Mr.. Lam Chip, who
evidently was not feeling comfort
able, said that he had formerly had
grocery store in Kahului and that
he sold out aud bought the proper

We support the policy OF muuici-
pal governments for towns with a
sufficient population, but we are
decidedly opposed to the wide-open
town. Remarkably enough 40 are
nearly all the liquor sellers to whose
profit the opening of.saloons on Sun
days and Of gambling houses on
every day in the week would be.
They prefer to lose the golden har-
vest by having respectable city
turned into q seething hell. Other
places have expsrimeDted aud are
feeling the consequences. We pub
lish the following article from the
Town Talk to show how Seattle has
Jared since it became a wide open
town. 1t reads:
"My correspondent writes me that
the Puget Sound city is resping the
policy of her "wids-open" gambling
policy with a vengeance. Within
the past few weeks no less than
seven young men OF prominent fami-
lies and all holding responsible posi-
tions have embezzled moneys and
fled the country. Cause: gambling.
Their wretched stories are as fol.
lows:
"The first case was that OF George
Dingle, chief clerk to w. G.. Psarce.
the assistant to President Mellen of
the Northern Pacific Railroad. Din
gle was entrusted with drawing time
checks for a number Of employee,

than his salary afforded in order TO

the amount OF four thousand dol.

and then disappeared. The next
disappearance was that OF Charley

minent in local social circles, After
his disappearance an examination Of
his books showed the cash account

ported to be occupying a similar
position in Butte, Montana Hotel.
The next defalcation Of importance
was that Of F. l., Van Wormer who
was engaged in the commission busi
