Police Of the City Asked to Search for
Miss Myrtle RandIe, Who Disap-
G
peared Last Wednesday.
SHE STARTED TO GO TO CHICAGO
Bogus Note Presented by Jockey is the
Sole Clue that the Police Have Found to
the Girls whereabouts.

The police Of this city have received
letter from Chicago asking them to
make an effort to locate Miss Myrtle
Randle, Chicago girl who disappeared
from the home Of her sister, Mrs. r.
E. Rice, in this city, on last Wednes-
day and cannot be found. Miss Randle
came to Kenosha several weeks ago
and has been making her home here,
but on Wednesday she left the house
stating that she was going to Chicago,
and since that time no trace of the
girl can be found.
AT the time of her leaving Kenosha
it is said that she was in company with
a jockey formerly well known in race
track circles in Chicago, but she is not
with the man at the present time and
her whereabouts is a mystery. Not
long since the jockey appeared at the
office of F. p. Meyers in Chicago, and
asked that he be paid a hundred dol
lars on note which was alleged to
have been signed by Meyers and which
the latter declares to be spurious.
Meyers claims that his son, who was
formerly the purser of the steamer
City of Grand Rapids which touched
at this port, was friend of the miss
ing girl and it is thought that she got
hold of his name and wrote the order.
The girl has not been accused of any
crime and the Meyers Family seem to
be very much interested in locating
her.
The police have made careful
search of Kenosha and it is claimed
that it is possible that she has eloped
with her friend, the jocky, but herre1-
atives seem to think that such so1u-
tion of the mystery is not plausible.
Miss Randle was girl of quiet dispo-
sition and during her stay in Kenosha
made many friends.
The search for the girl has been
prosecuted in Chicago since Saturday
night but the police have not been re-
warded ia their efforts and the only
trace of the girl that can be found is
the bogus order claimed to have been
given to the jockey. The younger
Meyers is not taking an active part in
the search, but it's thought that the
actions of the father are being urged
by the little romance which connects,
the son with the matter.

and if Kenosha county is to be among

to be taken in the near future to i'm
prove the condition of the roads, which
in many parts of the county are al
most impossible. AS far as Rural
Free delivery has been tried in the
county it has worked well and the peo-
pie in ali parts of the county are al
ready beginning to ask the Postal
authorities to establish new routes in
their localities. If, however, good
road for the carrier to travel in maxi
ing his rounds is to be made a condi-
ton precedent to the Establishment of
new routes, it is to be feared that some
parts of the county will have to wait a
long time for free delivery.

Names for Warships.

While other countries in Europe are
combining themselves most to con-

four others of the largest class, to be
named Democratic, Liberte, Justice

They are the Leon Gambetta, Jules

If the committee appointed to select
a site for the Naval Training station is
to report at the next session of Con-
gress they will have to commence
their second tour of inspection within
d very short time. Kenosha was one
of the cities to be visited on this final
round of inspection of locations Of
Tered, the site here having made SO
favorable an impression on the com
mittee that they announced their in
tention of inspecting it again before
making their final decision. Until the
final selection of a site is made the eff
forts of the committee to secure the
Training Station should not be relaxed
ia the slightest. Great pressure is be-
ing brought to bear on the COMMITTEE
in favor of other cities, but it is be-
1ieved that the committee will make
the selection of a site solely on the
merits of the locations offered, ant
that being the case Kenosha still has {
fighting chance, for this city is abou
the only place where the amount Of
land required by the specifications car
be secured at fair price.

CHANGE THE TRACK.

Kenosha Electric Railway Company Rec
moves Tracks on North Main Street.
A large force of workmen were put
to work today on North Main street to
move the tracks of the Kenosha Elec-
trio Railway company on that street.
At the present time the tracks are
placed on the east side of the street
and many of the property owners have
made formal complaint on account of
the fact that the company would not
pay for an equal amount of the paving
on either side.
At the time of the passing of the
new street railway franchise Mr..
Arnold agreed with the aldermen that
he would make this change and while
it was not $50 mentioned in the bond''
he is carrying out his verbal agree
ment. The work of changing the
tracks will be completed during the
paving of the street and there will be
no delay in getting the road into oper-
alton on account of this change.

THERE was one point made by the
Presidents of the coal roads that
should be made the subject of the most
searching inquiry by the President.
The Presidents of the coal roads with
out exception declared that there were
men enough in the coal regions who
were ready and willing to go to work
and mine all the coal necessary, but
that they did not dare to do SO for fear
of the strikers. This was emphatically
denied by the President of the Miners
Union, who declared that all the men
willing to work for the companies
under present conditions were already
at work, and that no more could be
found who wanted to work, no matter
how much protection was given them.
1t would seem that this question of
whether or no there are men enough in
the coal regions who want to work to
operate the mines, if they can be pro-
tected in their indisputable right to
work when they wish to work, is the
one to be settled first. IF after due in.
vestigation it is found to be true that
there are enough men who wish te
work to operate the mines and that
they are deferred from doing so by
fear of the strikers it becomes the duty
of the Governor of Pennsylvania tt
use the whole power of the State fol
their protection, and upon his failure
to do so the duty of the President t.
use the power of the federal govern
ment for that purpose.

German Authorities Send Letter Here In an

Carl Wilson, of this city, is a lucky
man, but the trouble of it all is that
Carl does not known that he Is lpclv

searching glances of the Chief of
Police who at the present time has
letter assuring Carl that he is wanted

the heirs, and he is supposed to be liv-

The police office is in rec, ipt Of a
letter from Julius Gutenberg. of HON.

an estate there, and that all efforts to
locate the man have thus far been
worthless. Wilson came to Eenosha
some time ago, and his friends in Ger-

since he arrived here.
The police have made an effort to
locate the man, but the Wilson'S of
the city seem to be able to give no
clue to lead to the discovery of the
missing heir.

IT might still be an economical move
for the Council to build some kind of a
bridge over the river at Main street.
The bill of the ferry company for SER
vice which is practically worthless,
already amounts to much more than a
temporary foot bridge would have cost
in the first place, and every day adds
to it. 1t looks now as if it would be
six weeks or month at least before
the new bridge can be used and it does
not seem as if foot bridge ought to
cost as much as the city will have to
pay for the use of the ferry for that
time

TO WOMEN VOTERS.
Women of Racine Send out Circular Urg-

Women OF Racine Send out a Circular Urg-
ing Women to Vote.
The women of Wisconsin are taking
an active interest in the coming cleo
ton and the women of Racine have
taken the lead in stirring up an in
terest in the event. The following
circular letter has been sent to many
women of the city together with an
urgent demand that they appear to
register their opinions at the polls.
The letter reads as follows:
To Wisconsin Women in Regard to
Voting
The Constitutional Suffrage Law
passed in 1885 and voted upon by the
people, as interpreted by the Supreme
Court, recognizes the right of the
women ''who are citizens to vote for
school officers and ION school matters"
in "a separate box" The Legislature
of 1901 passed a law providing that
separate boxes and separate ballots
should be provided for women in every
voting precinct, thus making the law
of 1885 effective.
Attorney General Hicks has decided
that at the coming general election,
women are entitled to vote for State
Superintendent and County Superin-
tendent of schools and also on the Con-
stitutional Amendment regarding the
election of State Superintendent. This
amendment provides for the election
of the State Superintendent at the
time of the Judicial election, and for
his holding Office for term of four
years; that is, the State Superintend-
ent will be elected in April once in
four years, instead of at the general
election in November as now.
This takes out Of general elections
the only State officer for whom women
can vote and places the election at a
time when comparatively few men will
be likely to vote. Hence many people
will oppose the amendment. Only
women who are citizens can vote.
Those are citizens.who wereborn in this
country or who have been naturalized
according to our naturalization laws;
it has also been held that women be-
come naturalized by marrying a nat
uralized citizen. But as many men
are voters who are not citizens, Attor-
ney General Hicks has given an opin-
ion that wives of men who have simply
declared their intention to become cit
liens are not entitled to vote.
Women must register in the same
manner and at the same time as the
men. At the first registration the
registrar makes up his list from any
information obtainable, therefore it is
not necessary to go in person. Women
may send their names and addresses
to the registrar, organizations, clubs,
w. C. T. u. Unions or other societies
may send lists of their entire mem
bership to the registrar. Let ali clubs
| do this.
At the second registration three days
before election one who has not reg
istered must go in person or may send
an affidavit that she is qualified
elector or she may "swear I'M her vote
on election day. It is very import
ant that women should vote at this
election. We earnestly entreat every
woman who reads this circular to in
terest her friends and publish the cir
cu1ar in her newspaper.
