Candidates Begin to File Their State.
ments of Election Expenses With
the Register OF Deeds.
JUST WHAT AN ELECTION COSTS.
Real Price of the Semi-Annual Selection OF
Officers Runs up Into the Thousands
of Dollars.

The men who were so fortunate as
to be candidates for county Offices at
the last county election, are now fling
with the Register Of Deeds the state
n,ents of the moneys expended by them
IN their efforts to be allowed to serve
the people. Of course no one takes
these statements as honest statement
of the fact, and the men who file them
simply do SO to fulfill the demands of a
law passed by the Legislature when it
had nothing else of interest to do.
Once in a while an honest politician
and they are as scarce as the
proverbial hen teeth-fles an account
of his actual expenses, and the fact is
so rare that it is received with wonder
by his associate politicians and the
search of Diogenes for an honest man
is considered at last ended. But the
great mass of the candidates allow
their consciences to become Z. little
elastic when it comes to fling ex-
penses, and so many expenses are for
gotten in the after election joy or dis
may that when the account is filed it
is found to contain nothing more
than the amount handed over to
the campaign committee. Once in a
while some one will state that he
bought few hundred cigars, but the
great mass of high balls, wiiskey cock
tails, beers, squirrel whiskey, and a
hundred other drinks, are never men
| toned or else are set down in two
dollar column as sundries. snTs
The amount that is handed out to
the man ''to see that his friends vote
right has no column in the expense
account or it is charged to the church
fair fund. Such is the farce of the ex-
pense account, but the farce goes on
just the same and the candidates are
now sending them in regularly. Ac-
cording to the law all these accounts
must be filed by the fourth of next
month and all will probably be in and
ready for auditing.
But really the cost of an election is a
great deal more than is shown in these
accounts. The last county and State
election cost Kenosha county. no less
than $500. Something over a third
of this amount was paid by the tax
payers of the county for printing bal
lots, publishing the ticket, employing
ballot clerks, election officials and
canvassing the vote. The cost of the
election to the city was not less than
5000 and the county will pay almost an
equal amount.
There were nine candidates for Of
fee in the county and it is safe to say
that each of these used up a thousand
cigars during the campaign, and this
figure alone would make $3.50. IA

THE movement in favor of Post
Check Currency goes steadily forward
and seems to be gaining strength
daily. Many members of Congress
seem to be favorably impressed with
the scheme and it appears probable
that the matter will be taken UP in
Congress in the near future. Ger
taiuly any system that will improve
the present cumbersome and expensive
methods of transmitting small sums
through the mails ought to appeal to
Congress on its merits. The only OBJ
lection so far urged against the bill is
that it would increase the expenses of
the government, and that hardly seems
to be valid one when the losses re-
sulting from the operation of the pres
ent money order system are taken into
account. The report of the Auditor
for the Post Office Department for the
year ending June 80, 1902, shows that
the "ascertainable loss in money order
business should have been fixed at
$5O0,0O0 in 1892" and goes on to state
that lit is greater rather than less at
this time" These estimates are prob
ably far lower than the actual deficit.
IT the present system paid expenses it
might be unwise to make a change,
but since it runs so far behind annual.
ly it would seem that those officials
who oppose the new system on the
ground of expense had hardly made
out their case. The Post Check Cur
rency system would cost but little, if
any more, to operate, and would GER
taiuiy be much more convenient.

All the Milk Dealers in KenOsha Enier
a Union and Milk Goes Up to
Six Cents a Quart.
SCARCITY OF MILK IS THE CAUSE
Milkmen Will Also Protect Themselves
Against the Dead Beats In the City by
Refusing Credit.

After the first day of next December
the expenses of the house keeper in
Kenosha will be increased by the ad-
dition of cent quart on all the
milk sold in the city. A change of
milk men will in no way remedy the
trouble as every dealer in the city has
consented to raise the price of milk to
six cents a quart on next Monday
morning.
This action resulted from the forma-
ton of the Milk Dealers Union at a
meeting held at the Kenosha Cream
cry Monday evening. Twenty of the
twenty three milk dealers in the city
were present at the meeting and the
sentiment in favor of the Union was a
unanimous one. There can be no es-
cape as the three dealers who were
not present at the meeting sent as
surances that in their dealings with
the people of the city they would be
bound by the rules laid down by the
| other milk men.
One of the officers of the new Union
in speaking of the matter this morn
ing stated that the mi1kmen had no
intention of depressing any one but
that the. scarcity of milk had made 1t
absolutely necessary to make the In
crease in price for the product. The
wet season just past has made the feed
OF the poorest possible quality and the
mich COWS are not giving half as
much milk as they have in other sea-
sons. At some times it is hard to Sc
cure sufficient milk to fill the demands
upon the wagons and many of the
dealers have been forced to purchase
milk at five cents and retail it at the
same price.
The raise in price is not large one
but it will probably force many people
in the city to do away with the use of
a pint of milk day. The Milk Dealers
Union will also take up another work
in the way of protecting the dealers
against the "dead beat" population of
the city and in the future it will be i'm
possible for the floating population to
buy of one dealer until he has present
ed them with several dollars worth of
milk and then switch to another.
According to the rules Of the asso-
citation every customer must pay up to
the dealer before another dealer will
supply him with milk. In past years
the milk dealers claim that thousands
of dollars have been lost through the
manipulations of the dead beats and a
strict accounting of them will be kept
in the future. The officers of the new
Milkmens' Union are, President,
Frank Hartung; Secretary, Clarence
Black man.

we're given. Beyond this expense sew
eral hundred dollars were contributed
to campaignfunds. More than hum
dred dollars was spent in bringing
into the voting booths foreigners,
many of whom could not write their
own names, and after all this there
were huudreds'of dollars spent in in
fuencing the doubtful voters. It is
true that little of this money went to
church fairs, but large amount of it
went over the bars of the saloons from
New Munster to the last chance on the
north side of the city.
With the election bringing such an
expense to the city it might be we'll for
bill to be passed by the Legislature
changing the time for elections to
every four years.

THE smallpox epidemic which came
into Wisconsin by way of the North
woods and last year swept the State
from end to end is making slow, but
sure progress southwark into Illinois
in spite of the efforts Of the health au-
thorities to check the spread of the
disease. The disease is still in mild
form, and the fact that it is often mis-
taken for measles at first makes it al
most impossible for the health officers
to enforce an effective quarantine. So
far Kenosha has. been very lucky and
no suspicious cases have been reported
in the city as yet. 1t will be extraor-
binary good fortune if the disease fails
to break out again in the city after the
experience of last year, but the author
tiles are better prepared now to handle
cases than when the disease first made
it's appearance in Kenosha, and there
is no reason to fear an epidemic even
if sporadic case or two should be re-
ported.

IN the Second Assembly District OF
Racine county the vote at the recent
election resulted in tie between the
Republican and Democratic candi-
dates. The Union Grove Enterprise
advises the voters of the district to let
the Prohibition candidate, who re-
ceived something over 800 votes, repre-
sent them in the Assembly. The ed
itor displays not only enterprise, but
ingenuity as we'll in finding this easy
way to avoid the trouble and expense
of special election, but it is hardly to
be expected that the candidates will
agree with his views of the proper
course to be pursued.

the fire had amounted to anything.
They missed the signals in some way

are what count at FIRE, and now that

a forcible manner, it is to be hoped
that they will be more careful in the
future.

AFTER HOLD-Up MEN.
Bold Milwaukee Criminals Thought to he
Hiding From Police.

Chief of Police Timme and the Ke.
nosha officers are making an effort to
locate two bold ho1d-up men, wanted
in Milwaukee, who are supposed to be
IN hiding IN Kenosha.
AT one O'Clock this morning the two
men held up man near the St. PAM
depot in Milwaukee, and before the no.
lice could capture the fellows thew
managed to jump on a ST. Paul train.
and when the train reached the limits
OF the city the men leaped off, and are
supposed to have taken an electric car
for the South. The criminals are
thought to be a white man and a col
ored man, and it is claimed that they
have been connected with a number of
crimes committed along the lake shore
during the past few months.
The local police have been guarding
the electric cars during the day, and a
close watch is being made at the limits
of the city, but no trace of the men has
been found thus far.
1t is possible that the fellows are in
hiding in some of the rural districts of
the county, and an effort to locate them
there will be made.

THIS is the season of the year when
the far sighted Christmas shopper with
visions of the crowds in the stores just
before Christmas in mind takes time
by the forelock and lays in a supply of
gifts before the annual rush COM
mences. The Kenosha merchants are
now all ready for the Christmas trade,
and anticipating better business this
season than ever before, they have
made elaborate preparations to supply
the expected demand. The wise shop
per is taking advantage of the 1u1l be-
fore the storm and is making pur-
chases before the crowd begins to buy.
The stocks are now in and there is a
greater variety to choose from now
than there will be later. The people of
Kenosha have enjoyed year of un-
precedented prosperity. There has
been plenty of work for all and at high
wages all through the season, and it is
expected that the good times will be
reflected IN the Christmas trade.

hit somebody and the chances are that
it will be the innocent bystander who
suffers.

Mascot of ROYALTY.

1t is not generally known that the
king and queen of England are super
stlt1ous. Both, however, have a firm
belief in the mascot powers of one
Of the queens ladies-in-w waiting. This
lady has the enviable reputation of Sc
curing, by her presence at the races,
victory to the horse she favors. So
firm is the royal belief in her power
that when Diamond Jubilee was to run
for the derby the queen-then princess
OF Wales-requested the presence of
the mascot" who was at the time in
delicate health. After a great deal of
persuasion from the prince and prin-
cess she went and, as we know, the
