THE announcement that the esti-
mates of the School Board for the ex
penses of the schools for the coming
year have been cut nearly one-half
will be welcome news to the taxpayers
of the city. While there has been no
disposition on the part of any of our
citizens to limit the usefulness of our
schools by so cutting down their ex-
penses that everything necessary to
their proper maintenance could not be
provided, there is very general feel
ing that possibly the increased advan-
tages have not been commensurate
with the increased expenditures of the
last few years. There is practically
no limit to thel amount the School
Board can require the city to raise for
the schools, and the moderation of the
present Board will be appreciated by
the taxpayers

cally he is clean man, never having
held any Office in the gift OF the peo-
pie. Something Of a reformer, Mr..
Johnson has always sought to secure
the nomination of men from the
better element for city offices in
Racine, city and county, but he
has never gone into state or district
politics. He is a great admirer of
Senator Spooner and if elected can
be counted on to vote for his re-elec-
ton. He is also a pronounced Stall
wart and has been leader among the
Stalwart forces in Racine since the
two factions made their appearance
among the Republicans of Wisconsin.
1t is probable that the Democratic
nominee for Senator will be Michael
Higgins, mayor of Racine, and it is
claimed that Mr.. Johnson will have a
hard time to carry Racine county
against Higgins. The two men would
have an even run in Kenosha county
and the second assembly district of
their own county as both of them are
practically unknown to the voters in
these sections of the State.
There is still one chance for the
nomination of Mr.. Reynolds to succeed
himself. After the convention was
over it was decided to re-appoint the
old Senatorial committee and this
committee was given the power to fill
any vacancies that might occur. The
committee will consist of johnson
Jackson, of Kenosha; Arthur Hugunin,
of Racine, and J. T. Rice, of Water
ford. It is said that Mr.. Hugunin is
in favor of the nomination of Keno
sha man and should Mr.. Johnson de-
cline 70 make the run for the Office the
chances of Reynolds being named
seem to be rosy.

TO TAKE THE VEIL.
Misses Lillian and Laura Lippert to Enter
Sisterhood Next Month.

Gns
Two more Kenosha girls have de-
cided to give their lives to the work of
charity in the Roman Catholic church
and it is announced this morning that
on August first Miss Lillian and
Laura Lippert, daughters of Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Lippert, will take the vows
as novitiates in the sisterhoods con-
nected with the church.
Miss Lillian Lippert will join the
Sisters of Notre Dame and will be re-
ceived at the Mother House of the order
in Milwaukee as novitiate. Miss
Laura Lippert will become a Sister of
Mercy and will join the sisterhood at
the Mercy hospital in Chicago at the
same time.
AS Miss Adamson recently an
nounced her intention Of uniting with
the Dominican order Kenosha will
send three young ladies into the
solemn work Of the church during the
next few weeks.
The Misses Lippert have been con-
sidering the step of entering the sacred
calling of the sisterhood for many
months and their decision will not
come as surprise to their near
friends. Both of the young ladies are
entirely consecrated to the work of the
church. They have always been &C
tive In the work of St. George church
in this city and no two young ladies
have done more to advance the welfare
of the young people of Kenosha. Miss
Lillian Lippert has been teaching in
the schools of Chicago for many years
and she is regarded as woman of
rare intellectual qualifications. In en-
tering the sisterhood her services will
be of great value in the teaching force.
Miss Laura Lippert is planning to
give her life in even sweeter charity
the ministration to the sick and in
jured. She will take the regular
course in the Mercy hospital and will
become one Of the regular nurses in
the hospital.
The two young ladies will be greatly
missed in Kenosha but they will carry
into their sacred work the best wishes
of their many friends in Kenosha.

Prominent Wisconsin Socialists Come
10 Kenosha to Seek to Excite
Some Interest in Party.
REV. W. o. GAYLORD SPEAKS
Victor L. Berger, of Milwaukee, Tells of
Plans of Social Democratic Party
Small Crowd in Attendance.

Kenosha was the storm center of So
cialism in the State Thursday evening
when the Rev. W O. Gaylord, who
was recently forced to resign the pas
torate of the church at New London
on account of his socialism, and Victor
L. Berger, State Chairman of the So.
cial Democratic party, came to the city
to lay the foundations for more eff
tective work by the socialists of the
city.
The meeting was held at the Trades
and Labor Council Hall and a COM
pany ct forty people, mostly members
Of the allied trades unions, gathered to
hear the speeches and to quiz the
| speakers on their doctrines. The
crowd was distinct disappointment
to Mr.. Gaylord, the Socialist preacher,
who had expected to speak to at least a
hundred people. The Socialist club, of
Kenosha, which is said to have mem
bership of forty, failed to attend the
meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Gaylord was the principal
speaker of the evening and for an
hour he talked of the ways and means
of Socialism. In an eloquent manner
he spoke of the beginnings of social
study and its growth into great and
powerful factor in the political world
of the day. He spoke of the early
prejudices against the social science,
but declared that new conditions which
had arisen were rapidly bringing all
! men together on a socialistic basis. In
the last six months, declared Mr.. Gay
lord, the growth of socialism in Wis
consin has been unparalleled and to-
day there are thousands of silent sup
porters of the doctrines of the socialist
among the best classes in the State.
These men, according to Mr.. Gaylord,
are simply waiting for the time to
come for them to proclaim their belief
to the world, and at that tirue the
foundation will be laid for the new
party in this State.
Mr.. Gaylord spoke at length in re-
gard to classes in society and showed
the various movements that had led up
to the division of classes He showed
the effect Of the trust and the effect of
the recent fights that have been made
against the three great trusts on the
growth of the Socialist party. Incl
dentally Mr.. Gaylord took a caustic
shot at Col. Villas and his recent letter
to the Democrats of the State. In this
letter Mr.. Villas used the term "The
Anarchy of Socialism" The minister
objected to the use of the term and in
timated that Col. Villas did not know
what he was talking about when he
used the term. He counse1ed the col
onel to consult the dictionary more be-
fore he wrote letters to the public.
After the speech by Mr.. Gaylord Mr..
Berger explained in detail the plan of
the Social Democrat party in Wiscon-
sin and the audience quizzed him in
regard to the different principles of
the party.
The meeting was not great success
and it is hardly probable that the
laboring men of the city are any nearer
the acceptance Of the theories of the
socialist than they we're before the
visit of Messrs. Gaylord and Berger.

The Republicans throughout the
State are awaiting with deep interest
the reply Of the Chairman of the Cen.
trial Committee to the open letter ad-
dressed to him by General Winkler, IN
which the Chairman is asked to define
the exact status of those Republicans
who dissent from the Spooner and
primary election planks of the State
platform and refuse to accept the plat
form in its entirety. In making clear
his own position and that of thousand
other Republicans, who, like him, are
opposed to certain planks of the plat
form, General Winkler gives his ideas
of what is necessary to make man a
member in good standing of the party.
He says:
"Never have supposed that being a
Republican deprived me of my right Of
private Judgment, committed me to
everything the party did, or compelled
me to subscribe to everything resolved
in a party platform. This has not
been my Judgment of the requisites Of
consistent party man. My notion
has been that one who approves its
general aims and purposes, especially
upon national subjects (for national
policies are at the basis of our party
organizations, and supports it by his
vote is to be considered a member IN
good standing of his party"
After proving conclusively that
never before have Wisconsin Repub-
licans been required to submit abso-
lute1y to party platforms in all their
details, he points out that:
"The last platform unequivocally
declares that no person, no matter
what his character, OF his abilities, or
record may be, holding these views,
shall be eligible as Republican can
didate for United States Senator.
"The Governor, in his speech Of
acceptance, says: The candidate
who is unwilling to be bound by the
platform of the party has no moral or
political right to accept the party nom
nation
''This refers to every detail of the
platform-indeed, was especially in
tended to cover the primary election
law plank.
After declaring that he is not an as
pirant for any honors the party can
bestow, and claiming only an equal
footing with all other Republicans
under the law of the party" General
Winkler asks the Chairman of the
Central Committee to define his exact
status and that of thousands of other
Republicans who like himself are OPP
posed to certain p1anks in the plat
form. He enquiries:
Am entitled to recognition as a
Republican in good standing, entitled
as such to receive such honors or pre-
ferment within the party as my fellow
citizens might choose to confer?
IF not, have one other question:
On what principle rests my obligation
to support the ticket of the party?"

The time may come when we will
have thistle commissioners to preserve
the weed instead of to destroy it. The
Kansas agricultural board acknow1-
edges that the Russian thistle at least
has great economic value as forage for
stock. A pamphlet just issued by the
board says:
ut is generally reported that all live
stock relish the pasturage afforded by
thistles for the three or four growing
months each year, and sheep and cattle
particularly like it, abandoning other
heritage in its favor, and even break
through fences IN their eagerness to
Craze upon it, rather than be confined
to the prairie or buffalo grass. This
ties, of course, are most valuable for
pasturage when young and tender, but
live stock will eat, apparently with
relish, the matured plants in the fields,
when damp and soft, sometimes even
preferring them to the green grass.
When intended for hay, thistles pref r.
ably should not be grazed upon
Whether grazed OF cut for nay, they
will in course of the season produce
enormously Of seed, and their survival
is in no wise endangered ny either.''

A FALSE ALARM.
Report That Mrs. Carrie Nation was nike
nosha Caused Excitement.

Report That Mrs. Carrie Nation was nike
nosha Caused Excitement.
It was reported this morning on the
streets that Mrs. Carrie Nation, the
famous smasher of bar rooms, had
dropped in on Kenosha and was medi-
tating a raid on the grog shops of Ke-
nosha. The rumor came from the
Northwestern depot, and seems to
have originated from the fact that
wild eyed woman who looked as if she
might be looking for trouble, had ar
rived on an early morning train from
the North and had taken breakfast at
the Maple house. She did not give
her name to the hotel men but she did
not show any tendency to begin
smashing
The report that the famous Kansas
smasher was in town caused quite
furore among the saloon men, aud all
OF them took steps to protect their bar
rooms. AT last accoun is Mrs. Nation
was still in Madison but she has
threatened to make run on the cities
of Southern Wisconsin, and the worst
fears of the Kenosha saloon men may
yet be realized.

AN ENORMOUS CROP.
Michigan Peaches Will Be Cheap and
Plentiful This Year.

Michigan Peaches Will Be Cheap and
Plentiful This Year.
The housewife who is forming her
plans for laying in her winters store
OF preserved fruit will not have to
complain this year as she did last
year. Fruit will be cheap and within
the reach of every household. Peach
es especially will be plentiful, as the
crops are enormous. Berries are only
trif1e higher than normal, but much
cheaper than last year.
Local merchants who have inves-
tigated the peach crop in Michigan
report that it will be unusually large
and the across lake lines are making
every preparation to handle the bust
ness. With warm weather from now
on the early varieties will arrive about
August 1st, and the season will con-
tinue without intermission till about
the middle Of October. AS far as
can be learned from the present con-
dition of the crop the peaches will
be generally large, clean and luscious,
and, it is said, the yield will surpass
last years by at least third. Ia
some parts of Michigan the trees are
said to be loaded so heavily that 1um-
Der firms are manufacturing special
kind of brace in carload lots to keep
the fruit from going to waste.

ITALIANS IN A HEAP.
Two Hand Cars Loaded with Italians Crash
Into an Open Switch.

Two Hand Cars Loaded with Italians Crash
Into an Open Switch.
A serious accident occurred in the
yards of the North Western railway
company in this city Thursday NIGHT
when two hand cars heavily laden
with Italian 1aborers crashed into an
open switch, and the entire mass of
humanity was throwu into a heap at
the side of the tracks while the hand
cars were completely wrecked. Two
or the Italian laborers were badly in.
Jured, one of them having his leg
broken atthe ankle while the other
had great cash cut in his head. A
score of others were bruised and torn
but they managed to crawl away TO
the cars in which they had been living
without seeking the aid of surgeon
to care for their wounds.
The accident was a most peculiar
one. The Italians had been working
South of the city and after work was
over the bunch of hand cars started
for the city. Six of the cars passed
the switch in safety. The last two
were manned by fourteen Italians
each and they were racing to the civ.
With every man shouting the two cars
dashed down the track, and as the
switch was reached it was seen that it
was turned but the cars were moving
at such high speed that it was i'm
possible to stop them. One or two of
the Italians attempted to save them
selves by jumping, but fully score of
them stuck to the car and when the
two cars crashed together there was a
scattering of the crews.
Italians flew in all directions and
they came down with dull sickeniug
thud. The injured men were removed
to the Office of DR.. Ripley, who dressed
their wounds and the others we're
carried over to their quarters in the
box cars III the yards. Both the in
jured Italians are from Chicago and
their names are not on the pay roll of
the company in this city.

Sisters of s. Mary Thank the People of Ke-

The annual outing and mothers
meeting of St. Monica's Guild of the
Cathedral of st. Peter and St. Paul in
Chicago which was held here on We'd
nesday, was one of the most success
full picnics ever held. The people of
Kenosha largely contributed to the
success of the outing and the Sisters
of St. Mary desire to express their
thanks to them for the generous man
ner in which they assisted in the work.
The Northwestern railway COM
pany furnished two special cars for
the transportation of the crowd, and
the livery stables furnished BUSES to
the crowd to the Kemper hall grounds
while the people Of the city furnished
an abundance of provisions for the
dinner.
This work of the people of the city
is greatly appreciated by the Sisters
in charge of the summer home.

MoRMoNs IN KENosHA.
Elders Seek Converts in House to House
Canvass of the County.


Creeds and religions have always
found fertile field IN Kenosha county
and added to the great mass of church
workers now in the county two Nor
mon elders have come to the city from
Salt Lake City and are now working
to secure following among the peo-
pie of the county.
Years ago Kenosha, city and county.
was one of the strongest centers of
Mormonism in the state of Wisconsin
but the followers of the creed have
mostly left the county and there is at
present less than dozen followers in
the whole county. Two years ago the
Mornons attempted to revive their
church in Kenosha but the effort was
failure. A new ground of work has
been started and now instead of work
ing in this city the elders have gone
into the country districts and are pros
elyting among the members of the
country churches.
No plan is being made for the or
ganization of a fixed society in this
county but the prophets of Mormonism
are seeking converts to the faith who
are wiling to leave their homes here
and go to places where the church has
found foot hold. No meetings are be-
ing held but the elders, travelling on
foot, are going from house to house
making a personal canvass to secure
members for the church
This crusade will be extended into
Northern Illinois and even over into
Indiana. The work of Dowie in this
section of the State has left the people
in receptive mood and for this reason
the Mormons, always ready to take
advantage of such religious move
ments, have some following in the
wake of the enthusiastic Zion elders
and picking up the members who were
almost persuaded to enter Zion.

THE labor unions are in much
stronger position than ever before in
consequence of the stand taken by the
delegates at the indianapolis confer
ence. Public opinion is now in SYM
pathy with the striking miners in the
anthracite region, but any violation
of contracts by the bituminous miners
would have caused great revulsion of
feeling. The United Mine Workers
seem to be led by capable, far sighted
and level headed men.
