Caster Case Fails to Reach the Su-
preme Court as Had Been Prom
ised by Attorneys.
ATTORNEYS LOOK FOR A DELAY.
District Attorney Buckmaster Will Make
an Effort to Have the Case Placed on
Calendar For Trial in September.

The case of John Caster VS.. Charles
Whitcher, the present status of the
Caster bribery trial is not noticed for
trial IN the August term of the SUI
preme court and an examination Of
the files of the court at Madison shows
that the papers in the case which were
long since certified to the higher court
by the clerk Of the Kenosha County
Circuit court have never been filed for
record and the case cannot be brought
up for trial at this session.
The old policy of delay has evidently
again been adopted by Attorney Firth
man and it appears that he is plan
ming to hold up the decision Of the case
until such time as the alleged crimes
shall have been forgotten and until
some new man shall have been brought
out to take the place of District Attor-
ney Buckmaster. When the case was
tried in the Circuit court Attorney
Firthman gave notice of appeal to the
higher tribunal and he urged ali posi-
BILE haste in order to have the case
ready for the hearing of the Supreme
court judges during the August term.
The papers were delivered to the attor-
ney for Caster and it is probable that
they are still occupying convenient
pigeon hole in the attorneys Office in
Chicago.
This delay will make it impossible to
secure decision of the Supreme court
in the habeas corpus proceedings dur
ing the present year. Notwithstand-
ing this fact District Attorney Buck
master announced this morning that
he would not countenance the delay
that is being forced by the attorneys
for Caster and he has begun to make
preparations for trial of the case in
the criminal court here in September.
The case will be noticed for trial on
the criminal calendar and it is thought
that Judge Be1den will order a jury
drawn to hear the case. The policy of
delay which has SO characterized the
action of the defense in the case has
now delayed the hearing of the case
by jury for almost whole year and
| it is high time that the matter was
brought into the courts and a decision
rendered that will lay the matter be-
fore the people in true light. Mr..
Caster may be innocent or guilty and
the people have right to have the
matter sifted.

SMALLPOX IN ZION.
Dowie's Health Department Finally Con
fesses to Eight Cases.

DoWie's Health Department Finally Con.
fesses to Eight Cases.
The health department. of Zion City
through its head officer, John G.,
Speicher, has issued an open letter ad.
hitting that there are three cases Of
smallpox in the city. There have been
eight cases during the summer. Here.
tofore the Zion health department has
denied the reports that smallpox has
existed there.
1t is declared that few of the eight
cases originated in Zion. Patients
were taken there for treatment. it is
explained. Of these cases DR.. Speicher
in his letter says: "The total number
of cases of smallpox found so far in
Zion City aggregated only eight. All
but two of these cases came in from
the outside. One came from Colorado,
one from Chicago, one from Milwau-
kee, one from Iowa, one from Indiana
and one from Canada"
Concerning the present smallpox
condition in Zion, the health officer
had the following to admit:
The only cases at present in the
city, are those of three little children.
two of whom are infants in arms.
The work Of isolation has been com.
plete." The statement by the health
department is issued to deny "a report
being circulated by enemies of Zion
that an epidemic is prevalent here"
Instead of the statement by the
health department easing the minds
of the residents Of Zion and the sur
rounding territory, the people are
greatly wrought up. Up to this time
many of them have refused to believe
that smallpox prevailed there.

THIEVES IN CEMETERIES.

Unknown Parties Despoil Graves in st.
James Cemetery of Their Decorations.
Repeated complaints have been made
on account of the fact that some un-
known parties are stealing the flowers
and other ornaments from the GENE
teries about the city. The most re-
cent example of this vandalism has
been found at ST. James cemetery.
where several lots have been stripped
of their ornaments by the thieves.
The people go to the cemeteries in the
evening, and while the watchful eve
of the keeper is turned away they man
age to gather up plants from the vases
and carry them away roots and all to
plant them in door yards at home.
This is the most despicable crime
that can be laid up against any one,
and if it is possible to capture these peo-
pie no punishment can be too great
for them. For some time this work of
destruction has been going on in the
cemeteries about the city, but 1t has
been impossible for the officers to
catch any of the guilty parties.

Damages From Northwestern Railway.
Mrs. Hannah w. Johnson, mother OF
the late Fred w. Johnson of the town
of Salem, has filed with the County
court petition asking for the appoint.
ment of an administrator of the estate
of her son in order to make it possible
to begin suit for FIVE thousand dollars
against the Northwestern Railway
company. Johnson was formerly an
emp1oye of the company and while at
tending to his duties in the yards near
Salem year ago he was run over and
killed.
The claim for damages against the
Railway company is scheduled as the
only property of the estate. Johnson
was a single man but his mother was
partially dependant upon him for sup
port. The administrators will be APP
pointed in time to bring the suit for
damages to trial during the coming
September term of the Circuit court.

Appeal to County Board.

Mr.. kustermann stated that the
State Board of Control would at once
condemn the old building and demand
that the Council secure some other
quarters for the poor of the city and
county. If the city is too poor to
make some provision for the poor at
once the State Board will make an
effort to obtain help from the County
Board. Both city and county charges
are to be found at the poor house and
it is possible that this suggestion will
assist in solving the trouble.
Mr.. Kustermann also inspected the
county Jail during his stop in Ke-
nosha and he has nothing but praise
for the Jail and the splendid manner
in which it is kept up by the sheriff
and his able assistants.
The report of the Board condemning
the old building and demanding the
erection of new one will be sent to
the City Council within few days
ard the aldermen will be expected to
act on it at once.
It is a burning shame that the city
of Kenosha, one of the most thriving
and wealthiest cities in the State,
should receive such report from the
State Board and the people of the city
should have sufficient municipal pride
to see that the cause of this state cen
sure is removed at once.

Members of the Board of Control Find
One Distinction For Kenosha
City Poorhouse.
BUILDING IS TO BE CONDEMNED.
Board Will Force City Council or County
Board to Erect New Building
Praise For the Jail.

Gustav Kustermann, of Green Bay,
a member of the State Board of Con-
troll, came to Kenosha this morning to
make an examination of the public in
stitutions in the city and his report to
the Board will be one which will cause
the face of every Kenosha citizen to
turn red with shame. Mr.. Kuster-
mann made just one report on the Ke-
nosha city poor house after he had
made visit there and the report was
as follows: ut is the worst poorhouse
Ia the State and the people of Kenosha
should be ashamed of themselves to
have such an institution in the town."
No words were strong enough to ex-
press the opinion of Mr.. Kustermann
on the poor house and he at once be-
gan the work of calling on different
city officials and members Of the City
Council to demand that some steps be
taken at once to get rid of the old
shack on the island and build a new
poorhouse. ''No human being" said
Mr.. kustermann, ''should be expected
to exist in such a filthy place and have
no hesitation in stating that the poor
house could not be worse"
Mr.. Kustermann stated that there
would be only one reason for allowing
the old poorhouse to stand and that
would be to force some Of the aldermen
who had countenanced such wrong
to the unfortunate to spend their de-
Ginning years in the place amongst the
filth and vermin that have accummu-
lated for years. The statements of
the member of the Board of Control
are not to be taken in any manner as a
reflection on the manner in which the
poorhouse is kept, for the visitors real
lied that it would be impossible for
any one to keep the present poorhouse
IN anything like decent condition.
