The Secret.

The Secret.
Softly the little wind goes by,
A whisper.-nothIg more;
Some message from the azure sky
Brought down to earth's green door.
Fragrant and fresh the wonder-wOrd,
But what 1t means, who knows?
Only the butterfly. the bird,
The leaf, the grass, and rose.
Theirs the divine felicity
The gift Of wisdom rare
The melody, the mystery.
The secret of the air.

Chester Earl Burt the First Victim of the
Dread Disease in Kenosha This Year
Chester Earl Burt, the eight-year-o1d
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Burt, residing at
537 Grand avenue, died Tuesday even
ing at the family residence after four
weeks illness from scarlet fever.
This is the first death from the dread
disease that has occurred in Kenosha
for many months. The funeral will
be held from the residence tomorrow
afternoon and the remains will be in
tered in the city cemetery.
The health officer is receiving re-
ports of a good many cases of scarlet
fever in different parts of the city, but
up to Tuesday none of the cases had
proved fatal. In many cases the dis
ease is in very mild form and the pa
tents recover within few days.
DR.. Spa1ding is taking the strictest
measures of quarantine to prevent the
spread of the disease to other parts of
the city.

JOHN M. WHITEHEAD would make
an ideal Governor, and there is nc
question but that any movement tc
make him the candidate of the Repub-
ican party against La Toilette would
have the united support of the First
district.
Two years ago, when the famous
harmony" convention met and nom
mated La Toilette, the delegates from
this district were favorable to Mr.
Whitehead, and there has been nc
change in sentiment since that time
He is a broad minded, liberal and con-
scientious man-big enough to be the
Governor of all the people. He is the
best qualified man who has so far been
seriously considered He has made a
special study of the perp1exing ques'
ton of tax reform. His work mem
Der of the committee on assessments
and taxation and his recent taxation
speech at Madison, shows him to be a
real reformer-one who is honestly en-
deavoring to so distribute the taxes,
that all interests, corporate and pri-
vate, may bear their just proportion of
the burden-no mere demagogue APP
pea1ing to class prejudices by vision
airy schemes of special Legislation
against corporate interests. He is not
one of the sockless, crown-of- thorns,
God s-patient-poor brand of states
men, who appeal to the prejudices
rather than the reasoning faculties of
the voter. Their day has passed. Men
are now judged by what they accom-
plish, not what they profess. John M.
Whitehead has no ready made remedy
for all the evils of the present system
of taxation. He realizes that patient
and conservative work must be done
before a satisfactory solution of the
tax problem can be reached, and his
views on tax legislation, as expressed
in his address at Madison, have made
him the leader of the conservative
element of the State.
Should he be selected by the Repub-
1icans to lead the fight against La Fol
1ette he will receive hearty support
from this section of the State.

THERE is no doubt that public sent1-
ment in the country is overwhelming
lv in favor of an interoCeanic canal.
In spite of the opposition of the great
transcon tinenta1 railways the con-
struction of such a waterway is about
to be undertaken by the United States
and will be pushed to completion as
speedily as possible. But the choice of
the route of the canal is not yet made.
Those who favor the Nicaragua route
have made no friends for that project
by insinuating that those members of
Congress who desire to consider the
Panama offer are working in the trans
continental railway interests. The
Panama company has made definite
offer to dispose of all right and title
in their partially completed waterway
at what the Commission appointed to
examine both routes considered a fair
price. 1t is a plain business PROPOSE
ton and should be considered as such.

WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Herman zuhde Struck by Northwestern
Train at Fox River Bridge.
(From Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Daily)
Herman Zuhde, of Powers Lake,
met with a terrible In jury and narrow
1y escaped instant death on the railway
bridge Of the Northwestern Railway
company near the station of Fox Lake
west of the city shortly after O'Clock
Thursday evening. Zuhde had been
at Silver Lake and was returning to
his home and had started to walk to a
station to board the train. When he
came to the creek he decided that he
would gain time by walking across the
bridge rather than walking on the ice.
The train was coming a short distance
behind him and several people seeing
the man warned him not to attempt to
cross the bridge, but he rushed on the
bridge and when he was within a few
yards of safety the train ran him
down. The engineer had seen the
peril of the man and had already re-
versed the brakes. When the cow
catcher of the train struck Zuhde, in
stead of knocking him off the bridge
to the creek below the man seems to
have tainted and fell directly under
the wheels. The engineer, with great
presence of mind, brought the train to
a sudden stop and when the men left
the cab they found Zuhde lying di-
rect1y under the wheels. He was ia
ken from his peri1ous position, but he
was not able to walk. He was taken
to the baggage car of the train anu
carried on to Twin Lakes, where he
was placed under the care of a
physician.
The condition of zuhde is considered
critical The engine struck him in the
right thigh and it is feared that he has
sustained serious internal injuries as
we'll as a fracture of a number of the
bones in that portion of the body.
The men who witnessed the accident
speak in the highest praise of the work
of the train crew aud of the engineer
in bringing the train to stop in time
to save the unfortunate man from be-
ing ground to death under the wheels.
The train which struck Zuhde was
the regular west bound passenger
train which leaves this city at five
O'Clock in the afternoon and it was
we'll filed with passengers. Some Of
the passengers on the train were con-
siderably shaken up by the sudden
stop made to save the man S life.

George YuIe Elected President of the
Balm Wagon Works to Succeed
the Late F. S. Newell.
BROAD POLICY TO BE CONTINUED.
Under the New President no Changes will
be Made in the Policy of the Big Con-
cern-AnnuaI Meeting of Bank.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The annual meeting of the directors
of the Balm Wagon company was held
at the Office of the company this morn
ing, and George Yule, the veteran Ke-
nosha wagon maker, was elected
president of the company to succeed
the late Frederick S. Newell. The
other officers of the company as elect
ed this morning, are: Vice President,
]. J. Hoyt; Secretary and Treasurer,
Frank Slosson; and General Superin-
tendent, George A. Yule.
The directors of the company de-
cided that no change should be made
n the policy of the plant, and in the
future the same broad and progressive
policy as first outlined by Edward
Balm the founder of the company will
prevail. Under the direction of Mr..
Yu1e the Balm company will continue
to be the largest wagon-making estab-
lishment in the world, and the business
will be pushed into other countries
where the Balm wagon is now un-
known.
The election of Mr.. Yu1e to the office
VI INC plCSAuCul VI AAAC COh1PdAJ 10
cause for congratu1atiOn, both for Mr..
Yu1e and for the company.
The new President of the Balm Com
pany is perhaps the oldest wagon
maker in the State of Wisconsin, if
not in the United States. Mr.. Yu1e
was born in Scotland in 1924. He came
to this country and to Southport in
the summer of 1910, and for three
years was employed on a farm in the
town of Somers. After a short appren-
ticeship as farmer he came to Keno
sha and went to work for the pioneer
firm of Mitchell & Quarles. He work
ed on the bench at salary of five dol
lars a month for some time. In 1848
the Mitchell & Quarles Company was
bought out by the late Edward Balm,
and a short time later Mr.. Yule was
selected from the workmeu as Superln-
tendent of the plant.
Since that time Mr.. Yu1e has held
the leading Offices IN the company and
has been closely connected with the
work which has made the wagon COM
pany grow from concern turning out
three hundred wagons a year to the
largest plant of the kind in the world,
with an output of more than twenty
thousand wagons annually.
Mr.. Yu1e is familiar with every
phase of the business and under his
able management the company is as
sured unparalleled prosperity.

Announcement of the Candidacy of
the GAINESVILLE Man Gives Salts
faction in Kenosha County.
FIRST DISTRICT RESOLUTIONS
Kenosha was the First City to Declare
for whitehead In the Previous Cam
p8ign and Feeling Has Not Changed.

The statement made Sunday that
John M. Whitehead of GAINESVILLE is to
be the candidate of the republicans of
the state for the nomination for gov
ernor at the next convention Of the
party has caused a great deal OF com
ment in Kenosha county, and the SEN
timent is universally in favor of Sena-
ator Whitehead. Indeed, KenOsha
county will be among the first counties
in the state to seek the honor of stand
ing sponsor for Senator Whitehead in
the convention. AS one of the leading
counties of the First district Kenosha
has long considered Senator White
head as the logical candidate OF the
party for governor, and every poll
tician and every one of the men in the
ranks in the county stand ready to
work for the nomination of the James
Vile man.
Two years ago when Senator White
head was mentioned as a gubernatorial
candidate, Kenosha county was one OF
the first counties in the state to en-
dorse his candidacy. 1t was in this
city at the meeting of the First DIS
trict republicans that the candidacy OF
Mr.. Whitehead was first formally an
nounced. At that time Mr.. Whitehead
was in doubt as to whether or not he
would allow his name to come before
the convention, but when he entered
the opera house where the convention
was being held he v as given such an
ovation that he could only leave his
candidacy in the hands of his friends.
At this convention unanimous reso-
lutions were passed favoring the nom
nation of the GAINESVILLE man. The
resolution was prepared by commit
tee consisting of Judge Orion of La
fayette county, G. A. Yu1e of Kenosha
county, Chas. Ingersol1 of Beloit, NAL
hon Co1burn of Wa1worth county,
Peter B. Nelson of Racine and Andrew
Gordon of Green county. The resolu-
ton as adopted follows:
"REsOLvED-That we heartily en-
dorse the candidacy of Hon. John M.
Whitehead of Rock county for COVER
nor, and earnestly recommend him to
the republicans of the state as one in
whose integrity, ability and judgment
ali can have the fullest confidence.
Among the supporters of Whitehead
at the convention, besides the men
who prepared the resolutions, were w.
w. Chadwick of Monroe, Johnson
Jackson of Kenosha, B. B. Blake of
Racine, DR.. J. C. Reynolds of Lake
Geneva, James Haskin of Lafayette
county, John Luchinger of Green
county, F. w. Coon of Edgerton, A. c.
Dodge of Rock county, Dill Brown of
Madison and James Cavanagh of Ke-
nosha.
The sentiment which prevailed in
the First district at that time prevails
today, and there is little chance but
that Senator Whitehead will have the
fullest support of the republicans in
this county.
There is absolutely no LaFollette
machine in the county, and efforts of
the managers for the governor to Sc
cure assistants here have proven to be
futile.

TO ORGANIZE THE CLERKS.
Miss Emma Lanphere, General Organizer
of the National Organization is Here.


Miss Emma Lanphere, of Galesburg,
ILL.,, general organizer of the Retail
Clerks Union, as allied with the
American Federation of Labor, came
to Kenosha this morning for the pur-
pose of forming a Union among the
retail clerks of Kenosha. In order to
further the organization of the Union,
Miss Lanphere has arranged for the
holding of meeting at the Trades
and Labor Hall tomorrow evening TO
which all the retail clerks of the city
are invited.
This is the first attempt that has
ever been made to organize such
Union in this city. Several years ago
a Union of the retail clerks was talked
of but no action was ever taken to call
a meeting to consider the matter. EN-
p1oyed in the stores of the city are
nearly hundred young ladies and gen
t1emen and could they be united on
proper basis the Union would be BILE
to do much to better the conditions
under which the clerks are forced to
work.
The Kenosha retail merchants have
never opposed organization among the
clerks andit is not probable that they
would make any opposition to the
movement now proposed by the gener-
al organizer of the National organiza-
ton. Unions have been organized in
several cities of the State, and they
have resulted in good. The Unions
are open to:both ladies and gentlemen
and it is expected that the movement
will be advanced by both classes.
At the meeting tomorrow evening
Miss Lanphere will explain the princi-
pies and workings of the Union and an
effort will be made to form q local
branch. The matter has already been
proposed to many of the clerks in the
city and the young lady advancing
the movement has received consider
able encouragement.

Y. M. G. A. TO ELECT OFFICERS
Changes to be Made in the List of officials
at the Friday Night Election.

at the Friday Night 'ElecG1on.
The election of officers for the Young
Mems Christian Association which oc-
ours on Friday night, promises to eff
feet marked change in the present
list of officers.
A. E. Buckmaster, who has been the
president for seven consecutive sea
sons, has announced his unwilling
ness to accept the presidency again,
believing that change would be ben
efcial. There is no logical successor
to this office, but among those men
toned are C. H. Curtis, E. L. Grant,
DR.. w. r. Cheever, S. G. Newman,
w. N. Shandrew and DR.. H. H. Lane.
Other officers to be chosen are the
vice president, to succeed Willis w.
Cooper; recording secretary, to succeed
G. H. Curtis; and a treasurer, to sue
coed w. G. Burr.
Four directors will be chosen to sue
coed L. M. Theirs, w. w. Cooper,
w. G.. Burr and w. J. Frost.
In addition to the election the an
nua1 reports will be read and the policy
of the Association and the financial
budget for 1902 adopted. Following
the business meeting there will be a
musical program, interspersed with
speeches, and refreshments by the
Ladies Auxiliary.
The adoption of the policy of work
for the comiEg year will probably in
c1ude several radical changes of inter
est to the members and citizens gen
orally.
The annual report will contain
figures of work accomplished that can
hardly be exce1led the country over.
The officers will be pleased to have
the entire membership present Friday
evening.
