Lieutenant David G. TheIeen U. S. N. of
This City Appointed Recruiting
Officer by The President.
HAS GREAT WORK TO PERFORM
Kenosha Boy Sent West to Enlist 5000 Sea-
men For The New Navy-Advance In
Salary For Theleen.

Advices received from Washington
state that the department. of the Navy
has appointed Lieutenant David G..
Theleen Of this city as a recruiting
ohcer ~ the navy and into his hands
has been given one of the hardest
tasks ever given to a recruiting officer
OF the navy. He has been assigned to
the large territory lying between
Philadelphia and Chicago and has
been instructed by the department to
enlist Eve thousand men. The new
position given the Kenosha boy is one
Of great responsibility and one of the
greatest Importance to the navy. The
recent increase in the navy has made
an imperative demand for men. Both
officers and seamen are needed and
Lieutenant Theleen left Washington
with orders to enlist at once FIVE
thousand able bodied seamen.
He started his work at PHILADELPHIA
on last Monday morning and it is
thought that more than a year will be
required to complete the work.
Lieutenant The1een is one of the
youngest lieutenants in the United
States navy but the ability he has
shown has brought his name promi-
nently before the department and ii is
thought that he is one of the rising
young men of the navy. He was not
an applicant for the splendid position
to which he has been appointed and
the appointment came as a complete
surprise to him.
For the past two years Lieutenant
Theleen has been on shore duty and
before that time he was in Cuba
assisting in the work of making new
charts of the different harbors along
the Cuban coast. Since his return he
has been connected with the navy
yard at Norfolk, Virginia where he
held a position as instructor on one of
the receiving ships of the navy.
Recently he was selected as the Judge
Of the court marshal at the navy
yard.
With his new position Lieutenant
Theleen will be practically allowed
to select the territory in which he
works. Much of his time will be
spent in Chicago and it is possible that
he will be able to make short stop in
Kenosha.
His permanent headquarters will be
at Washington city.
It is probable that the influence of
the kenosha boy will result in many
young men from this city entering the
navy and several of them have already
announced their intention of enlisting
as soon as the new recruiting officer
reaches Chicago.

Long Fight for Reelection of Senior
Senator Results in a Unanimous
Vote in His Favor.
TRIUMPH A PERSONAL VICTORY
Power of Administration Fails to Whip
ANY One Into Line Against Senator.
His Election is Now Assured.
From Wednesdays Daily

| John C. Spooner was nominated to
succeed himself as United States
senator by the Republican joint caucus
On the first and only roll cali he re-
ceived 1O4 votes, against one for Judge
Charles NJ. Webb Of Grand Rapids,
cast by David Evans, Jr., of Waushara
county. Senator Spooner's nominal
ION subsequently, was made unani-
nous, Mr.. Evans declaring with a
laugh that the odds against him were
| too many.
On Jan. u, each house will take a
ballot separately on the election Of a
United States senator, and on the fol-
lowing day the two houses will assem-
BILE in a joint session to ballot. On
| that day, Jan. %. therefore, Senator
John c. Spooner will be reelected for
a term of six years as his own success.
sor in the upper branch of the national
Legislature.
There are los Republicans in the
two houses of the legislature, thirty
in the senate and seventy five in the
assembly, and the result of the roll
show every one Of them was present
at the caucus and voted. The only
| surprise of the evening was when
Assemblyman Evans answered to the
call Of his name, but the explanation
made by the Waushara member after
he caucus had adjourned removed any
doubt there may have been that a
single Repu blican in the 1egislat are
will cast his vote against Sen
Spooner when the election of senator
axes place.
The speech placing John c. Spooner'>
name before the caucus was made by
Senator J. J. McGillivary of Black
River Falls, seconding speeches being
| made from the asse bly, side by NJ. J.
Wallrich of Shawano and J. A. Frear
of Hudson.
Enthusiasm in plenty formed an ac-
compartment to the action of the
caucus. The galleries were thrown
open to the public and were well filled
with citizens and visitors who have
been deeply interested in the sena tor
ial succession. On the floor of the
| ASSENT bly, cha mber were many members
of legislatures of former years. Sus-
pended from the rim of the galleries,
at regular intervals, were small ma.
tional flags placed there after the adj
| iournment of the lower house in the
afternoon.
The action of the caucus in naming
Senator Spooner for reelection causes
a great deal of satisfaction among
the Republicans of Kenosha county.
Nearly ali of the members of the party
felt convinced from the first that the
Senator would be returned, but many
feared that the strained relations be-
tween the Governor and Senator
| Spoouer might force some of the great
admirers of the Governor to vote
against Spooner.
The final vote on the election Of the
Senator will be taken in the Legis1a-
ture on Jan. 18th, and there is no
doubt but that Senator Spooner will
receive every Republican vote in that
| BODY.

AMY PUrs BAN ON MINORS
Recruiting Officers Receive orders to Re
fuse all Boys in the Future.

| Recruiting Officers Receive orders to Re-
fuse ali Boys in the Future.
| No more enlistments of minors will
be made for the United States army,
with or without the consent of their
parents. Orders to this effect have
been received by Captain Frank B.
Mccoy, of the Milwaukee recruiting
Office.
Before this order was issued" said
the Captain recently, "we enlisted
boys above sixteen years. when their
parents accompanied them to the Office
and asserted their willingness to have
the boys go into the army. Other
minors who appeared to be more than
twenty-one were enlisted under that
superstition. They swore to this effect,
and, as they sometimes had boards,
they had no trouble in having their
am bition of becoming soldiers salts
fed.
when they found that the army
was not altogether bed of roses, and
wanted to go home again, they wrote
to their parents, who never rested
until they got them out. This was not
always the result, but often enough
TO make such en1istmeDts undesirable.
In other cases, although the boy was
anxious to serve out his time, the
parents found out where he was and
were of different mind. The new
order is due to the reduction in size Of
the army"
Most of the men now being enlisted
in Wisconsin have seen service in the
army and are anxious to go back again.
Of seven men who passed the medical
exa mination for enlistment last week
Xix had seen service in the Philippines.
They took the oath required only upon
condition that they be sent back to
the islands. Telegraph operators are
now being enlisted for the signal
corps.

COUNTY BOARD ADJoURNs.
Annual Session OF the County Board Came
to Close Thursday Afternoon.

Annual Session OF the County Board Came
to Close Thursday Afternoon.
The annual session of the County
Board came to close late Thursday
afternoon and the last hours of the
session were the busiest. The board
took this occasion to remove all the old
business that had been before it since
November and the clerk can now start
out with q clean sheet.
An economical wave passed over the
board and the accounts of the several
county officials were give the knife
and several sums denied payment.
The board decided to cooperate with
Racine county in building bridge on
the line between Wheatland and Ra-
cine county and consented to pay one
fourth the cost of the bridge. Super
visors Cornwell and McKesson were
appointed commissioners to have
charge of the building of the bridge.
The trouble withxthe Northwestern
Railway company in regard to the
cancellation of certain tax certificates
was settled by compromise the com
pany agreeing to pay portion of them
and the remainder being cancelled.
It was unanimously decided to ap-
propriate 500 for the Alexian Brothers
hospital in Chicago, and this will be
sent to the institution as gift from
the people of the county.

g. mi. THOM INNOCENT.
Former Kenoshan Charged with Selling
Short Weight Coal Found GuiItless,

We wish to correct an article pub
lished by us December 30, which uu-
justly charged c. M. Thorn, $40 Lin
coin avenue, Chicago, but formerly of
Kenosha, with selling short weight
coal to poor woman, and being fined
therefor. The report is entirely err
roneous and does Mr.. Thorn and the
G. M. Thorn Van Company, which he
represents, great injury.
AS matter of fact the person who
was fined was George Fisher, driver
for the company, who was shown to
have delivered the short weight
amount. 1t was conclusive1y proved
IN the trial before Justice Mahoney,
that his load of coal contained 1000
pounds when it left his employers
yards. 1t was also shown that the
load of coal stood upon a side street,
after being loaded, for about an hour
while Fisher was at lunch, and that it
was under strict watch by the City
Sealers men from the time Fisher
again took charge until his arrest. It
is pretty clear that the coal was taken
off the wagon by some one while it
was thus left standing alone.
There is a hint of persecution in the
case, which was promptly appealed by
Fisher. All this will be cleared UP
when the case is again heard in the
upper courts. We are very sorry to
have done Mr.. Thorn this Injustice as
it has had an injurious effect upon his
trade, and bade fair to bring him into
trouble with his wholesale dealer, with
whom he had done business for fifteen
years. But the innocence of Mr.. Thorn
is now happily cleared up.

Big Contract at Kankakee.

Big Contract at kankakee.
AT the meeting of the Board of Ed
ucation of Kankakee, ILL.,, Wednesday
night, Jorgensen & Larsen, the well
known Kenosha contractors, were

Illinois, and its cost will exceed 500. 900.
The Kenosha contractors will begin
the work as soon As the weather will
permit and it will be completed by the
opening of the next school year. It is
probable that large colony of work
MEN will be taken from Kenosha TO
Kankakee to assist In the building of
the school.
Kenosha contractors are doing a
good deal of outside work just at pres
ent, as ]. H. Tully has just returne ed

ASKS A DIVORCE.
Well Known Family In the Town of Brigh-
ton Seeks the Divorce Court.

Summons has been served in the
suit for divorce in which Minnie
Ghorst is the plaintiff and Richard
Ghorst is the defendant. The couple
are among the best known residents of
the town of Brighton and the serving
of the papers for divorce has caused
quite stir in the usually quiet circles
of that town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ghorst have been mar
ried for the past three years and their
home had beer considered one of the
happiest in the town. Mrs. Ghorst
now accuses her husband of failure TO
provide and of cruel and inluman
treatment.
The case, which will he heard at the
approaching March term of the Circuit
court, promises to be a most sensa-
tional one and it is the sole topic Of
conversation in the town of Brighton.

TO LOOK INTO THE MINE.
Stockholders of the Horn Silver Mime I'm This
City Decide an Investigation Advisable.


Kenosha stockholders in the Horn
Silver mine to the number of fifty met
at the A. O. u. w. hall Thursday
night to form some plan for investiga-
ton into the affairs of the company,
and to see if possible whether the COM
pany was financially sound and the
mine a paying one. There seems to
be division of opinion among the
stockholders, and one of their number
will be sent to the mine at once to
make the needed investigation.
Between 800 and 400 thousa nd
>hares of the stock is held in Keno
sha. It was purchased several years
ago at price of cents share and
when the shares were issued they were
found to carry par value of cent. It
is alleged that the managers of the
company issued the stock in this small
denomin ation ia order to avoid the
payment Of the war tax and with the
understanding that new stock would be
issued in which the par value Of the
stock would be 81. The war has been
over two years and the stock remains
at par value of cent. No dividends
have been paid by the mine and for
this rea son the Kenosha owners Of the
stock want an investigation.
Several of the stockholders insist
that the mine is all right and will pay
dividends next year, but others seem
to think that the matter will bear
looking into. It is said that Kenosha
people have put more than $40, 900 into
the scheme.

The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1903-07-03
c. & 0. Fish Hatchery.


Followers OF Izank Walton wi
hail Silh delight the news that the
Kanawha aud Greenbrier rivers,
both OF which are within easy rid
Ing distance OF the Queen City,
are to be stocked and re-stocked
with bass every year, beginning
this fall.
Following the example OF sever
al other railroads in the country,
the management OF the Chesapeake
a. Ohio railroad has decided TO
maintain its own fish hatchery
hereafter for the purpose OF stock
lug the streams along the road.
The hatchery ha. already been
erected a. Sulphur Springs, Va ,
and the small bass with which the
streams are to be stocked are wait
leg TO be placed in the various riv-
ers and creeks.
1t vii! be al OF three years be-
fore any OF the bass which will be
pl inted this year will find their
way to the table, but the stocking
will be repeated every Year, and
In few years the streams which
have been stocked will be alive
with bass, many Of which will ul-
timately find their way into the
Ohio, Miami and Whit water Riv-
ers.
The bass will be hatched by the
G II O. hatchery, by the artificial
method, and will not ho planted in
the river until they are three
months old. Investigation has
shown that when biss aud trout
reach this age they are able to pro-
tect themselves against larger fish.
1t is stated that by the natural
method Of Matching not more than
d per cent. OF the spawn reach ma
turity, because they are eaten by
large fish and swept away by the
floods. or the l per cent which
do reach maturity, about one half
OF one per cent, ultimately reaches
the table.
BY the artificial method OF hatch
ing so per cent. OF the spawn is
Matched and are kept in troughs
until they are old enough to take
care OF themselves, OF this 80 per
cent ii is estimated that fully 80
per cent reach the table, so that the
prospects for good bass fishing in
the Virginia tributaries OF the Ohio
river are more than encouraging,
