at home
1t is the duty of every American
citizen to cast his ballot on next Tues
dav without fear or favor.
Every vote cast for Ike Purcell is a
to the good name of Trego county.
Vote for A. B. Jones for representa-
tive. He has done more for the old
soldiers than any one man in Trego
county.
The political situation in Trego
county looks brighter today for the
Republican ticket than it has for the
last six years.
Let Trego county add her might to
the Republican majority on Tuesday
next that will be cast over this young
republic from ocean to ocean.
There has not been Democrat
elected in Trego county for the last
eight years but that the Republicans
elected him. 1t is time to call halt.
Vote for w. A. Reeder, candidate
for Congress of the 9Th district. A
man who has served you for four years
in congress and can accomplish more
for the people than any man you
could send at this time as he is well
posted in the work and has the repu-
tation of being one of the hardest
workers in the house. w. a. Reeder
is a man that knows no defeat. He
was never beaten in his life. Last
April at the convention at Norton
when the combined forces organized
the convention against him, he took
things very easy and on the second
day when the combined forces were
sleeping-and just as old sol had came
to light-he marshaled his forces and
went forth to battle and had his
nomination safe when his opponents
got up. You can see what hard
worker he is and each vote cast for w.
A. Reeder is a vote in 1904 for our dis
tinguished soldier and statesman
Theodore Roosevelt.

ands of farmers to secure for them

Tenth-Because he is built on
broad and unselfish plan that many
other men in public life might well
emulafe. and because a member of
any political party on earth will re-
ceive Il favor at his hands just as read
i :, and be accorded the same courte-
Jus, polite and gentlemanly treat
ment. as a member of his own party.
Eleventh-Bec cause he is not an ex-
pertinent and has been in Congress
Ion enough to be of use to the peo-
pie of his district, and if he is retain
ed there-and he will be-he will con-
tinue to be something more than a
mere ornament.
We might go ahead and enumerate
a Hundred other good re; sons why the
Call is for Reeder, but the ones here
in stated are the principal ones, coup
led with the fact that he is our friend
and we are proud of it. With the
e reception of congressman the Call Is
supporting the fusion ticket, and
few partisans for taking this step,
it is the way we feel about it, the way
we are going to vote, the way we want
our friends to vote. and we are not 50
bound by any party ties that we do
not reserve our right as an American
citizen to advocate the election of al y
candidate whom we see fit regardless
of the title of the column where his
name appears ON the official ballot.
The TACT that Mr.. Reeder's name ap-
pears in the Republican column does
not hurt him; this will not bar Popu-
lists and Democrats from voting for
him, and if we have our way about it
and we believe we are going to have
it-Mr. Reeder will be elected by an
overwhelming majority.

In last weeks issue of the 2X4 sheet
on the corner the county clerk takes
US to task and makes long story out of
our article. The main charge against
the county clerk is this: By what au-
thority did he ignore the action of the
commissioners when they ordered him
to submit the county job work to the
Independent and World? In his arti-
Gle he says that the granting of the
job work was not let t. him. He adj
mitted to US that the commissioners
had ordered him to let the job work
90 the lowest bidder, but in his article
he denies it. The commissioners say
they so ordered it and the county
clerk, therefore, tells a barefaced lie
and he knows it. What kind of fell
low is this man Phares to admit a
thing and then rush into print and
deny it. But what can you expect of
a man who is so narrow contractt d
that he would go out of his way TO
beat us out of a S1.50 job. We can
prove this assertion AS he tackled al
most every one who had .hool land
proofs to be published and asked them
to have them published in his party
paper. This WAS prior to the change
i'm the management of the Independ-
ent. The county clerk says lie has
always treated US right. 1t might
seem right to him but we object to
him using his office as AN advertising
bureau for his party. Yet this man
says he has never done anything
against US. He says the trouble with
US is that we did not get the printing
of the ballots and that our bid was the
highest. We admit our bid was the
highest-about 4 per cent higher than
the Morland printers bid.

THE bill creating a Department of
Commerce and Labor, which passed
the Senate, should pass the House
without any radical change. Moved
by the fear of the loss of their posi-
tions, the chiefs of the various semi
independent bureaus which will be
taken into the new department, are
endeavoring to stir up some oppos1-
ton to the measure in the House, but
their efforts have not met with much
encouragement so far. Each head OF
a bureau, while convinced that any of
the other bureaus may properly be
transferred to the new department, is
sure that the efficiency of his own will
be destroyed, or at least greatly i'm
paired, unless it is allowed to remain
undisturbed and under his manage
ment,

President of the Kenosha Street Rail-
way Company Selected as Engi-
neer by New York Central.
THE GREAT PROJECT is PLANNED
Kenosha Railway Magnate to Have Charge
of the Work of Placing the Tracks of
New York Central Under Ground.

Bion ]. Arnold, president of the
Kenosha Street Railway company, has
been selected to engineer the greatest
piece of railway work ever planned
in the United States, and in few days
he will go to New York to begin the
work of rearranging the Grand Cen
trail station in Gotham with view of
placing all the tracks under ground.
This stupendous feat of engineering
was suggested to the New York Cen
trail company by Mr.. Arnold several
years ago and for the last two years he
has given up most of his time in work
ing out the great details of what is
considered one of the greatest feats of
engineering ever attempted. When
Mr.. Arnold first proposed his plan to
the New York railway companies it
was regarded as impossible, but within
eighteen months Mr.. Arnold will see
his plans fully carried out. The carry
ing out of the work will cost the COM
panies millions of dollars, but it will
more than double the capacity of the
station. Mr.. Arnold is an expert cleo
lI1Cldh anu lhS use VI SAGNlAASAIT mas
made the new arrangement possible.
Many New York engineers figured
on the proposition for months and at
the close of their work the Chicago
man took up the matter and worked
out the details. AS a result the
achievements of Mr.. Arnold have
placed him at the top of the engineers
of the United States.
While the new plans of Mr.. Arnold
will take him to New York for the next
two years it will not in any way inter
fere with the completion of the Keno
sha street railway and the road will be
completed as soon as possible and
placed in operation early in the spring
or summer. Mr.. Arnold will continue
to hold the controlling stock in the
company and all the work will be done
under his personal supervision.
The people of Kenosha will be
pleased to learn that the bi1ities of the
president of its first street railway
have been recognized in so splendid a
manner.

Hugh Cox, of KansasviIIe, Meets IN
slant Death in a Collision on
the Milwaukee Road.
FIVE OTHERS ARE BADLY INJURED
Joe McManus and Michael Gaffney, of This
County Are Among the Injured
Caught Like Rats in a Caboose.

Hugh Cox, a we'll known stock man
in the village of Kansasvil1e, in Racine
county, met instant death in a train
wreck near the village of Deerfield,
ILL.,, Thursday morning and Michael
Gaffney and John McManus, two other
Racine county men were seriously
in iured and may die as result.
The men had left Kansasvi1le early
in the morning on a Caboose attached
to freight train on the Milwaukee
road They had started with car of
stock for Chicago. After the stock
had been properly loaded in the car the
men went back to the caboose and they
were hudd1ed in this car when the
wreck, which resulted in injury and
death, occurred.
The train left Kansasville shortly
after three O'Clock and stopped at
Deerfeld just before four o'clock.
The train halted at the depot in order
to allow the engine to take water and
while the train was standing at the
water tank freight train crashed into
it. The collision was a savage one and
six or seven cars were piled in an in
discriminate heap. The train from the
rear came without warning and the
Kansasville men, who were in the ca
boose, were caught like rats in a trap.
The fireman and engineer on the train
leaped from their cabs and escaped
in jury.
The men in the caboose had abso-
lutely no chance to save themselves
and when people hurried to the scene
of the accident the men were buried
under a mass of debris. When the
debris had been removed it was found
that Cox had been instantly killed,
while the other men had sustained in
juries which will cripple them for life.
AS soon as possible the men were
placed in another caboose and taken to
Chicago, where they are being cared
for at the hospital. It is feared that
McManus will not survive his injuries.
Besides the Racine county men three
other men were injured in the wreck,
but they are only slightly injured aud
will recover in short time.
The collision is said to have resulted
from the failure of the operator to cor
rectly report the presence of the stock
train at Deerie1d. The coroner Of
Lake county will hold an inquest over
the remains of Cox this afternoon and
the verdict of the jury will probably
fix the blame for the accident.

P. O. Address: Kenosha, Wis. dwf15

LEAVES KENOSHA OUT.
Graham Morton Company Will Put on a
Boat Between Chicago and waukegan.

The old alliance between Waukegan
and Kenosha in securing lake trans
portation to Chicago is to be broken,
for the Waukegan shippers have made
overtures to the Graham & Morton
people of Benton Harbor, and that
company has consented to put on a
boat between Waukegan and Chicago
if monopoly of the business is as
sured Kenosha is left completely in
the cold and is not mentioned in the
deal. The proposition that the Graham
& Morton people have made to the
Waukegan harbor master, is that they
will put boat on the run between Chi
cago and Waukegan if the city council
of Waukegan will guarantee to the
company the exclusive use of the
Waukegan docks.
It is hardly possible that the council
at Kenosha would entertain such a
proposition if the Graham & Morton
company would seek this port. Lake
transportation is a good thing but it
is hardly possible that a Kenosha
council would be willing to give the
company a monopoly for so small a
return.

Story of a Stick.

The reformers who hold up the Ger
man army as a pattern to be admired
will perhaps allow that even it's excel
lent discipline has some drawbacks.
Among the many regulations Of the
military code is one which forbids
anybody to present himself before a
recruiting officer with a cane in his
hand Some days ago a reservist SO
far forgot himself as to enter the office
of a recruiting sergeant major accom-
panied by his walking stick. For this
heinOus offense the unfortunate reserv-
list was promptly court-martialed and
sentenced to ten weeks Imprisonment
for insubordinatiOn.-
