STORES CLOSE EARLY.
In Keeping With the Agreement Nearly
Every Store Closed at O'Clock.

In Keeping With the Agreement Nearly
Every Store Closed at O'Clock.
In keeping with agreement made
by the different merchants of the city
early closing of the stores went into
effect Friday evening, and for many
months the stores will be closed on
four nights in the week at 6 O'Clock.
This move is the result of the cru
SADIE made by the Kenosha Chapter of
the Retail Clerks Association, and it
promises to be most successful one.
Nearly every store in the city closed
Friday night, and the few that re-
manned open had failed to note that the
agreement to close provided for closing
last night. 1t is probable that there
will be no trouble in carrying out the
rule, as nearly every merchant in the
city is heartily IN accord with the
movement.
The clerks have not given up the
movement with this success, and fur
Their efforts will be made to have all
the stores fall under the early closing
agreement.

NEGLECTING GUARANTEES.
City Health officer declares that the spread
of scarlet fever is due to lack of caution.

City Health officer declares that the spread
of scarlet fever is due to lack of caution.
City Health Officer DR.. ]. B. Spauld-
ing is out this morning seeking the aid
of the law to prevent the people of the
city from further spread of the scar
let fever contagion. In the past weeks
many cases of the disease have been
reported and the health officer declares
that the spread is largely due to the
negligence of the doctors to establish
proper guarantees at the different
houses in which patients are lodged.
At least two cases have been reported
within the past two days in which the
disease was contracted on account of
the fact that the patients did not know
of its existing in the house. The state
law provides heavy penalty for this
neglect on the part of the doctors and
if the practice is continued some of the
doctors will be forced to face justice
and pay fine for their neglect.
It is most necessary that all houses
in which scarlet fever is discovered,
should be quarantined and where this
is not ordered by the doctors the own
ers of the house should demand it from
the health or police department of the
CITY.

Mr. and Mrs. G. "A. Yule Give a Smoker
at Their Home on DurIxee Avenue.
One Of the most pleasing and GER
tainly the most unique entertainment
ever enjoyed by the society people of
the city was given Friday evening at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. A.
Yule on Durkee avenue.
The invitations were given out for a
smoker and it was intimated that
every guest was expected to do his or
her particular pet stunt as a contri-
button to the evenings amusement
The guests entered heartily into the
spirit of the affair and came to the
front nobly when called upon.
The leading amateurs of the city
were very much in evidence and all
had something new to offer.
J. keck Wheeler came up smiling as
usual with a number of new songs.

.encores, Mrs. Tanner and Miss Head

dialect stories in her own inimita BILE
manner, Col. Str ng manipulated the
"bones" to piano accompaniment
and the Hardly Ever" quartette made
its first and probably its last appear
ance. As windup 10 the program the
entire audience rendered America in
a manner to call forth enthusiastic
applause, after which an adjournment
was had to the ball room for dancing.
The beautiful home of the Yules was
artisticaliy decorated for the occasion.
with a wealth of poinsettas and galax
and refreshments were served in the
dining room after the program was
concluded.

dered several selections during the
smoker and afterwards furnished the
music for the dancing.

Of the city were Messrs. J. r. Kehlor
and John Van Nortwick, Mrs. Caruue-
vile and the Misses Durham, Sheen
berger end Whitney, all of Chicago.

THE persistence with which great
numbers of people send small sums Of
money by mail, Notwithstanding the
obvious risks of loss, is sufficient in
dication of the need Of some form of
easy and safe remittance of small
amounts. 1t is greatly to the discredit
of the government that after so many
years Of experience with postoffice
money orders, the system in use is
still unsatisfactory.
There is something like genius in
the novel but exceedingly simple prop.
osition to issue small bills with
blank in which the name and address
of a payee could be written and thus
instantly transform an ordinary bill
for ST. or So into a check or a draft on
the government for that amount, pay
able only to the payee named, but on
which he conld get his money at any
postoffice where he could be identified,
as readily as if it were New York
draft for the same amount. Notwith-
standing the simplicity of the plan,
Congress has failed to adopt it. Any
enterprising business house to which
an improved method of so great value
should be suggested would unhesitat-
1ngly and enthusiastically adopt it.
The only valid objections to the plan
are that it might make some addition
al work in the treasury department. If
that is sufficient reason why mill
lions of people should be denied the
advantages and conveniences which
this simple method offers, the PROPOSE
ton should be abandoned. If not.
Congress should make short work of
the matter. If Congressman take an
intelligent interest in the question
long enough to understand what the
measure is, we shall soon have the
most important and widely appreciated

Former Kenosha Man to Discuss Socialism

A. s. Edwards, who is announced to
speak three nights on Socialism at the
7. M. c. A. hall, beginning January
IL, was formerly a resident Of Keno
sha, and is well-known to many of our
citizens. Mr.. Edwards has been a
newspaper man most Of his life. He
was associate editor of the old Keno
sha Telegraph with DR.. Hays McKin-
ley, at which time he was more or less
active in Republican politics. Since
leaving Kenosha he has been promi-
nent in the Socialist movement; was
one of the founders of the Social Dem
ocratic party in 1898, and has edited
such leading newspapers devoted to
the advocacy of Socialist principles as
the Coming Nation, which, while he
was editor, had circulation of 5000
copies weekly, and the Social Demo-
cratic Herald, the national organ of
the Social Democratic party for three
years.
The subject of the first lecture will
be Wonders of Modern Production
and the Distribution of Wealth." This
will be followed on the 18th by "Waste
of Work and Wealth Under Capitalist

Statistics show, says the Paris CORE
spOndent in the London Mail, that the
use of absinth and other deleterious
liquors is rapidly undermining French
mems constitutions and is one of the
main factors in the decrease of the

ume might be written on the strange
Authorizations which absinth drinking
develops in it's yotaries. The doctors
are unanimous in saying that constant
nipping of the stuff, even without any
apparent abuse of it, is as dangerous to
health and life itself as absinth drunk
enness. The constitution becomes alb
solutely impregnated with the concoc-
ton, and, worse than all, an absinth

weak both in mind and body. The
enormous increas in France of late
years of consumption and other tuber-

to nothing else than the abuse of alb

tied with the resolve to introduce strin-
gent legislation against it's sale at the
next session of the chamber Of depu-
ties.

TROOPS TO BE REMOVED.
Most of Them Ordered to Leave Ev-
ansviIIe Tomorrow Afternoon.

Yesterday Governor Durbin received a
request from Judge Rasch, Of Evansville.
that the National Guard companies now
there be ordered to remain throughout the
trial Of the murderer Lee. The Governor
promptly refused the request.
Earlier in the day the Governor instructed
General Mckee to send home all the troops
Immediately after the funeral of the mob
victims tomorrow. The Vincennes COM
pany is an exception to this order, and the
Governor instructed that 1t be kept in
Evansville for a while longer. His plan is
to not keep the soldiers under arms longer
than Is absolutely necessary. The removal
of the troops tomorrow is, of course, pred
icated upon the assumption that there will
be no further demonstrations by the mob
The Indianapolis battalion of the National
Guard, Battery A, of the Light Artillery.
and the companies from Terre Haute
Bloomington, Martinsville and New Albany
probably will leave Evansville some time
Tomorrow. This statement was given out
officially from Governor Durbin's office last
evening. Although everything is quiet in
Evansville, and another outbreak or fur
Their trouble is not expected, Governor Dur
bin thinks 1t will be the best plan to keep
the troops at Evansville until after the
funerals of the victims of Monday nights
riot
All the advices received yesterday by the
Governor were to the effect that everything
was quiet in Evansville. Soon after the
Governor arrived at the Statehouse in the
morning he received kilograms from Brig
sdier General Mckee and Quartermaster
General Perry that Evansville is quiet. Ad-
vices were received from prominent citizens
OF Evansville to the same effect.
Governor Durbin left his office about $50
O'Clock last evening feeling very much re-
lieved and safe in the expectation that the
trouble at Evansville is practically, If not
entirely, over. The Governor had no state
ment to make further than that things at
Evansville are in satisfactory condition
that is, as satisfactory as they could be
after the trouble of the past few days.
Adtutant General Ward notified the eight
companies CT the First and Second regi-
ments and Battery C, at Lafayette, yes
terday that they need not keep in imme-
date readiness for call TO arms. He in
structed the officers, however. to keep in
close touch with their men, so they could
get ready TO proceed to Evansville on short
notice If further trouble arises.

the background and whose only hope is in
a new administration. 1t must be consid-
cred that new Pope generally brings a
change in all the great appointments, in
Guiding the papal secretary of state and
vicar OF Rome, the representative of the
Pontif in spiritual affairs: the vice chancel-
lor, who has charge of issuing the papal
bulls; the grand penitentiary, who presides
at the tribunal of penitentiaries, granting
dissolution under certain circumstances, and
the librarian of the holy church, besides all
other positions more or less important con-
nected with or depending on these great
dignitaries
There is only one man who holds such a
position to be sure 10 profit by the cleo
ton of a new Pope, if the usual custom is
observed This is the secretary OF the con-
slStorlal congregation, who. during the con-
clave. acts as secretary of state. II is his
duty, when Pope is elected, to advance,
kneeling, and offer the white zuccetto or
the small white cap, the emblem of paul
dignity, TO the new Pontiff who is expected
TO remove his red cap and put the white
one on his head and the red one on the head
Of the kneeling cfficiatines monsignor as
sign that he will soon create him a car
dinal. On that occasion in 1878 Leo calmly
and slowly folded up his red zuccetto and
put Ii in his pocket, as a mute protest
against politics. The officiating prelate was
Monsignor Lasigni who in fact, waited
about three years before entering the sa-
cred college. The fortunate prelate who is
now looking forward to such a dignity is
Monsignor .Volponi, who has just been ap-
pointed secretary of the consistorial con-
gregation, as a reward, perhaps, for his
polished Latin, which has been at the dis
poSal or the Pontln for so many years.
