TO ACCOMMODATES READERS.
Library Board Plans for an Innovation In
the Circulating Department..

LlDEdry BOARD FIduS ZOE du IuuOVdG1OH All
the Circulating Department..
The Board of Directors of the Gil
bert M. Simmons Library are planning
to make little change in the circu-
lating department of the library which
will add greatly to the benefits to be
derived from the library by the read
ing public. For some time the moneys
of the library have been so limited
that it has been impossible for the di-
rectors to supply all the books needed
for the patrons but at the meeting of
the directors Tu esday evening new
plan was suggested which will remedy
this trouble.
Recent fiction is always in great de-
mand at the library and often there
are twenty calls for book of which
there is single copy on the shelves.
Of course it would be unwise to buy
for the library proper large number
of copies of any popular book as the
demand for,these books seldom lasts for
any length of time. The new plan,
however, provides for the purchase of
a number OF these popular volumes.
They will be kept on the shelves and
after the regular library copy has
been sent out the other copies will be
called into service and they may be Sc
cured by borrowers by the payment of
the small fee of five cents. The plan
has been tried in other libraries and
L. l. nc,
been found sufficient to purchase the
extra copies of the books needed. This
plan has not as yet been adopted but
it will probably be ratified at the next
meeting of the board. No other bust
ness of Importance was transacted by
the board at It's meeting Tuesday
evening.

THE ticket nominated at the Repub-
lican County Convention Saturday is
one which every Republican in the
county should support at the polls.
The nominees were selected without
regard to past or present Affiliations
with either faction of the party and
they have right to expect and to re-
ceive the united support of the party at
the polls. The factiona1 differences
which have troubled the party in the
State should be ignored in the CAM
paign in the county, and we believe
they will be. Certainly this is not a
year when the Republicans can afford
to divide their strength. Some of the
contests were close, bat the fight for
the nominations was open and above
board all the way through and not one
of the defeated candidates has any
cause to complain. All of them will
give the ticket the same loyal support
that they would have received had
they been the successful ones. AS re-
CARDS the ticket itself, it is the strong
est that could have been put up. All
of the candidates are clean and able
men. There can be no question but
that every man on the ticket is thor
ough1y competent. They have all
been tried and not found wanting.
They have been prompt, business like
and unfai1ingly courteous, and the du
ties of their several Offices have been
discharged in a manner to satisfy
every demand of their constituents.
Every candidate has record of which
he may well be proud and which emit
ties him to reelection. AS regards
the Spooner resolutions, they undoubt-
eddy express the sentiment of all the
Republicans of the county. However
much they may be divided on other is
sues, they stand as unit in favor of
the return of Spooner to the United
States Senate.

DON'T blame TIE Postoffice clerks or
the carriers if your mail is not re-
ceived just on time. The present
quarters are entirely too small and too
poorly equipped to properly handle the
constantly increasing business of the
Office. The boys are badly handi-
capped by the conditions under which
they are compelled to work and they
are doing the best they can under the
circumstances. Not only are the
present quarters too small for the bus
mess of the Office, but they are poorly
lighted, badly ventilated, and it is al
most impossible to keep them warm.
The recent cold snap gave the clerks a
foretaste of what is to come, and the
prospect of long, cold winter in their
present quarters is not relished by the
[boys who hustle Uncle Sans mail.

An Outside Estimate.

Spooner is an Invaluable mana
great jurist, profound thinker, an
incompatible debater. He has not his
match on the floor of the Senate. The
ablest and boldest members of the OPP
position in that body have learned
from sad experience that it is unwise
to provoke an encounter with him. He
will rank in history with Clay, Web
ster and Douglas, the giants Of de-
bate of an earlier day. He has the
mental alertness of the Illinoisan, the
persuasive charm of the Kentuckian,
and the legal mind of the great ex-
FOUNDER of theS.constitution. "-Chica-

IN HIS speech at Madison Friday
evening Secretary Of the Navy Moody,
who was associated with Congressman
Cooper in the House, paid splendid
tribute to the representative from this
district. He said that no man had
done more for our insular possessions
than Congressman Cooper, and espec-
tally called the attention of his audi
tors to the fact that it was largely due
to the efforts of the Congressman from
this district that the restrictions gov
Nerning franchises were incorporated in
the fundamental laws Of Porto Rico
and the Philippines. This district is
proud of the record made by Cooper.
He has done good work always, but
his position as Chairman of the Com.
mittee on Insu1ar Affairs in the last
House gave him an opportunity to
show his abilities as constructive
statesman and he improved it. The
bill establishing civil government in
the Philippines was known as the
"Cooper" bill, and to him more than
to any other man must the credit be
given for the wise legislation which
gives to our far eastern possessions a
representative government. That he
will be returned is foregone conclu-
sion. The State fight will not be al
lowed to jeopardize his election. How
ever much his constituents may fight
among themselves they will not be
weak enough to allow difference of
opinion on State issues to deprive Wis
consin and the nation of his services IN
Congress.

Sell Confessed Murderer of Rachel
Davis Occupies a Cell at the
County Jail.
HE is NOT IN A HURRY TO PLEAD
Claims That If He Had Money it Would
be Very Easy for Him to Elude the
Prison Bars.-Prisoner Nervous

Dan "Ginger" Avery, the se1f-con-
fessed murderer of Rachel Davis, the
Milwaukee colored actress, now occu-
pies cell at the County Jail awaiting
trial on charge of killing his sweet
heart.
Avery was brought up from Wauke-
gan Monday afternoon, and reached
the city just before o. clock. An hour
later quite crowd of people gathered
at the station to get look at the con-
fessed murderer, but Avery was by
that time safely slowed away IN a cell
on the second floor of the County Jail.
Avery was decidedly nervous when
the train approached Kenosha. as he
feared there would be some display of
feeling against him, but the great mass
of people in the city took little interest
in the matter, and Avery could have
probably walked through the streets
unmo1ested. When he reached the jail
his fear was still apparent, and he
asked that the fact that he was at the
Jail be kept secret. Avery was soon
treasured that his position was safe,
and that there was absolutely no dam
ger of his being 1ynched or even as
saulted by mob.
Avery seems to like life behind the
bars in the County jails, and he is not
so anxious to plead guilty to the charge
of murder as he seemed to be when he
was arrested in Waukegan. Like
every ether man the negro is now
looking about for defense for his
crime, and he states very positively
that if he had little money he would
be able to easily keep himself out of
prison. He still insists that the Davis
woman was shot in se1f-defense, and
he is not in any way sorry that the
crime was committed. He took a lively
interest in the doings of the "O1d
Plantation Company and asked many
questions in regard to them.
Avery is the first person charged
with murder to occupy cell at the
county Jail since Mrs. Marie Pleva
was confined in the jail five or six
years ago. He seems to feel the i'm
portance of his position, but with all
he seems to be very careful prisoner
and does rot complain of anything he
is forced to do. He seems to think
that he is in for term of prison life
and that it is just as well that he make
the best of it and enjoy his life in the
county jail as much as possible.
He is allowed a generous supply of
tobacco and cigarette papers and with
these two things he states that he is
able to put in the time in a very com
Portable manner.
Avery was brought before Justice
McCarron this morning, and took a
continuance to Oct. 23rd.

Alexander Clark Announces That He
Has Right of Way For a Rail-
way North From Waukegan.
ZION CITY THE LIMIT FOR HIM.
Surveyors Are Said to Be Working South
Built.-Clark Seems Confident.

The old story of the completion OF
the electric railway between Kenosha
and Waukegan was given new life
Tuesday evening when Alexander
Clark, of Chicago, who has been close
ly associated With. Fl. Van Vlissengen
in his North shore projects made the
announcement that he had succeeded
IN securing right of way for the con-
struction of an electric road between
Waukegan and Zion City. So san
guine of success is the Chicago attor-
ney that he has approached the people
of Waukegan to secure the use of the
city streets for triumpha1 entry into
Waukegan.
The line which is being engineered
by Mr.. Clark extends northward to
Zion City, but it is stated on good
authority that force of surveyors is
now at work between this city and
Zion and it is possible that the work is
all being done for the VanV1issengen
forces.
Winthrop Harbor is the objective
point of each line and the plan is SIM
ply being made for the sole purpose of
booming the VanVlissengen property
at the Harbor. The line north of Zion
seems to be in fair way for construc-
ton, but Messrs. Clark and VanVlis-
sengen have been connected with so
many shot air' railway lines that the
people of the North shore will be forced
to doubt the success of the project un-
til the rails are laid and the cars are in
operation.
The route which has been secured
by Mr.. Clark is along the flats to the
east of the tracks of the Northwestern
Railway Co. It is claimed that a
greater part of the right of way has
been purchased. The line from this
city to Zion City is located similarly.
but the surveyors have gone no fur
ther than to put in stakes and to en-
qulre OF the farmers as to the amount
they would demand for the purchase of
the land if road was built.
The managers of the. Kenosha COM
pany stated that they have no know1-
edge of the survey now being made
and insist that they are in no way
connected with the plans of the men
now at work.
Kenosha is deeply interested in the
completion of this line to Chicago and
Milwaukee and as there is chance of
the Kenosha line being in operation
within few months it will be mat
ter of great interest to all to know that
there is some chance of securing a
Southern connection with the lines
leading into Chicago.

ONE of the most noticeable things
about the Republican meeting at the
opera house last night was the alb
Sence of many of the old time leaders
of the party in this vicinity, and an
other was the presence of so many
men wearing Rose buttons. The Gov
ernor said himself that it was just the
kind of an audience he liked to address
and if he didn't make converts it
was not from lack of material to work
npon.
