kenosha and Racine County Hunters
Want Prairie Chicken, Grouse and
Quail Protected by Law.
BOUNTY ON CROWS AND SPARROWS.
Legislature is Asked to Pass Law to Pro-
tect Game in Eastern Wiseon-
sin for Period of Five Years.

In the State Assembly Thursday
morning petition was introduced by
the people of Kenosha and Racine
counties which will provide for the
protection Of game IN southeastern
| Wisconsin. The petition asks that
bi il be passed prohibiting The shooting
of prairie chickens, quail and grouse
| in the counties of Kenosha, Racine
and Walmorth for a period of FIVE
| years and to provide bounty for the
killing of crows and English sparrows
in the three counties for the same
| period
! The southeastern part of the state
was formerly the home of hundreds of
| flocks Of quail and prairie chickens
but for the past decade the species have
been almost extinct. 1t is seldom
that a flock of quail is seen in this
county and half dozen chickens
| year is about all that the hunters ex-
| pect to find. The few f1ocks of quail
are badly scattered but it is thought
that if law were passed protecting
them for the next FIVE years the country
would soon be stocked again.
Besides this natural increase some
o. the men who are interested in the
protection of game have made plans to
import quail and grouse into the
counties named in the bill ard in this
manner provide for stocking the
country. These classes of game null
tiply very rapidly and within five
years the three counties would have
| more of the species than have been
seen here since the days of the pioneer.
The placing of bounty on crows
and English sparrows would have a
good effect in this part of the state, but
the main trouble would be in securing
the funds to pay bounties. During the
past few years the sparrows and crows
have practically driven all other
species of birds out of this section of
the state and the hardy winter birds
can be found in large numbers about
the county at any time. Crows have
done considerable damage to crops in
the county and the same thing can be
said of the smaller birds. The spar
row since it's introduction into the
country has been pest and in many
states where bounties have been offered
the family has been practically wiped
out.
The petition presented to the Assem-
bly, Thursday was signed by hundreds
of hunters and farmers in this county,
and there is good reason to believe
that law will be enacted carrying
out the suggestions of the petition.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee in charge of the game laws and
will be brought up little later in the
session.

Deal Finally Completed for the Pur-
chase of the Henschen Farm
in the Town of S0mers.
no TAKE POSSESSION AT ONCE.
Bids are Now Being Asked for Superin-
tendent of the Farm. and Many Pau
pers Will be Moved There Soon.

Kenosha's latest effort to solve the
problem of caring for paupers by
placing them all on farm, will soon
be given a fair trial, for Wednesday
afternoon the deed for the sale of the
property of Rudolph Henschen to che
City of Kenosna was filed for record in
the Office of the Register of Deeds.
The city will take possession of the
property at once, and it is probab bic
that the dependents of the CITY will be
removed to their new home within the
next two months.
The member of the pauper commit
tee Of the City Council have arranged
with Mr.. Henschen to purchase all the
personal property on the farm that
will be needed to operate it. It is
proba BILE that the city will also pur-
chase a small amount of live stock for
the sake of furnishing dairy supplies
to the farm.
The matter of employing Superin-
tendent for the farm has been taken
up by the Council, and bids have been
advertised for. A man and his wife
will be put in charge of the farm, and
they will have charge of all the pau
per affairs. The Council will make an
effort to have all the people who are
now dependent on the city removed to
the farm.
According to the last report of the
Poormaster there are seventy-four
people receiving part or full support
from the city, and many of these have
been on the city list for many years.
The majority of them have never been
forced tougo to the poor-house to live,
but with the opening of the farm these
people will be obliged to join the other
paupers on the farm. It is thought
that if the rule is enforced many peo-
pie who have been enjoying the sup
port of the city will refuse to go to. the
poor farm and will; become. self sup
porting.
The experiment of the city is being
watched closely by many cities in Wis
consin, as this is the first time that
any of the cities of the State have at
tempted to force the dependents to live
on farm. 0H sthe experiment is a
success it is probable that the lead of
Kenosha twill be2fol1owed by several
other cities.
The members of the committee in
charge Of the purchase seem to think
that there is little reason to believe
that the farm will pay dividends to the
city, but an effort will be made to make
it self sustaining, and if the committee
succeeds in this they will make large
saving in the aaannual budget of the
civ

WILL WEIGH MAIL.
Order Issued for the Work In Central Dis
trict.-Regular Mail Weighing.

Notice has been given the railroad
companies IN the territory west of Buff
fa1o aud Pittsburg, north of the Ohio
river, east of Omaha and south of ST.
Paul that the dates for weighing mail
will be fixed in short time.
This is the regular mail weighing
which the Government has done once
every four years and on which the
compensation of the railroads for car
rying the mail during the next four
years is based. The United States
is divided into districts for the pur-
pose of this weighing and the work is
carried on under the supervision of
special officers assigned to duty at the
important centers. in the district.
The district embraced in the pros
pective order is one of the most i'm
portant in the whole country. The
quantities of mail handled through the
Chicago gateway by lines from east to
west, as well as that originating and
terminating within the district, make
the railroads of this district the largest
dll1CkS VA 1ud1A Ou LAlC COAl1uCuls
The amount paid by the Government
to the transcontinenta1 lines alone is
several millions of dollars annually.
AS every railroad is a post road for the
use of the Government, if it desires to
use it and does invariably so use it,
there are many thousands of tons car
ried by roads outside of the big through
lines.
The process of weighing for the
purpose of estimating the amount OF
compensation to be paid requires that
all the mail handled in every mail car
must be weighed on standard scales
for thirty consecutive days. The time
when the weighing is to commence
and end is to be given the order
which the roads can expect to come
within a short time.

MORSE OFFERS A MONUMENTS.
Offers to Put Up Marble Shaft In Honor of
the Soldiers of Fond du Lac County.

| Offers to Put Up q Marble Shaft in Honor OF
| the Soldiers of Fond du Lac County.
| w. FL. Morse, of the Morse Granite
Works of this city, visited Fond du
Lac several days ago on his way from
the northern part of the state. Mr..
Morse was prominent figure in the
recent monument investigation held at
that city by a committee of the County
Board on petition of the Grand Army
lodge, at which time he deposed to the
effect that his company had not been
given fair chance to submit bid for
the erection of the soldiers memorial
monument which now stands in the
Court House Square, erected at an ex-
pense of approximately $4,000 by the
Monumental Bropze Company, OF
Bridgeport, Conn.
Mr.. Morse stated that he dep1ored
that the county should have been
made to bear the expense occasioned
by carelessness when monument OF
twice the intrinsic value might have
been placed there at one-half the cost
and built of solid marble.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
investigating committee exonerated
the purchasers" said Mr.. Morse, sit
wouldn't take much of an effort to
raise thousand or SO among the peo-
pie for beautiful granite statue that
would put this other to shame. I'm
going to make proposition to the
Fond du Lac G. A. r. Post. Our COM
pany is willing to erect a granite mou-
ument in Fond du Lac for barely the
price of the rough stone. We are will
ing to donate all the work of carving it
and this would give the city statue at
almost nominal cost. The only con-
dition we will ask is that it be placed
side by side, SO to speak. with the
bronze one, solely for the sake of COM
parison, and we will take what little
benefit there is to be had out of the ad-
vertisement it will afford"
William De Steese, former comman-
der and one Of the spirits Of the Fond
du Lac Post, says that he don't see
why the offer of the Morse Granite
Company wouldn't be good one pro,
viding they make it. "That would
give us something good for almost a
song," said he, "for the rough stone
we can get almost free. We can get
either the Montel1o or the Berlin gran
lite, for it has been offered us, and
what is more, the railroads have
agreed to transport it free of charge.
If the Morse people make that offer I
am of the opinion that the G. A. r.
Post would consider it favora bly,"

DEMANDS DAMAGES.
Mrs. Elizabeth Buschman, Who Fell in the
Park Demands Restitution.

Mrs. Elizabeth Buschman, well
known lady of the city residing on
West street, served notice on the City
Clerk this morning that she would de-
mand damages from the city on &C
count of injuries received by falling
on an alleged defective walk in Central
Park on the afternoon of Jan. "a.
Mrs. Buschman at that time slipped on
the walk near the soldiers monument
and fell, breaking the bones of her left
hip and sustaining other bruises and
injuries OF a serious nature.
In her notice to the Council she COM
plains that the walk was defective on
account OF the fact that the city had
neglected to remove the snow and ice
from the walk until it had become dan
gerous for the use Of pedestrians.
Norman L. Baker has been employed
to look after the interests of Mrs.
Buschman in the coming suit.

ST. Louis People Found Guilty of Using
Mails to Defraud.
The score or more Kenosha people
who, expecting to get something for
nothing last winter, were heeced by
the National Mercantile company, of
St. Louis, will never get their money
back, but they will find consolation in
the news that the United States Dis
trict Court has found the sharpers
guilty of using the mails>for a scheme
to defraud.
Henry Fleachiskiamm and w. r.
Reeves under the title of the National
Mercantile company, inserted glowing
advertisements in newspapers and
magazines offering a fur col1arette as
a premium for selling cheap jewelry.
The advertisement was so cunningly
worded that some 5000 people each
sent So to the company expecting to
get leather pocketbook, fine hand
kerchief and genuine Canadian col.
1erette" as the advertisement read, for
selling the eight trinkets sent them.
When they asked for the col1arette the
company would refer to their adver.
tisement, which read tour offer of a
fur co11arette'' and inform them that
the offer was for them to send So and
get that much more of the jewelry and
sell it and they would then receive the
co11arette. About fifteen did so and
received co11arette worth about So. so.

SITE rs SELECTED.
New Standpipe of the Water Company Will
be on the North Side.

be on the North Side.
AT the meeting of the Water Com
missioners held at the City Hall on
Thursday afternoon it was definitely
decided to locate the standpipe, which
is to be built for the water company
during the summer, on the North side.
The location will be on the extreme
south corner of the city lot on which
the North side engine house is placed.
When the original plans of the water
system were made this was the spot
selected for the building of the stand
pipe and in laying the mains twelve
inch main with T was placed at this
point SO that the connections for the
standpipe are already made.
The standpipe will add quite little
to this portion of the city and will at
tract many visitors. It will be in the
neighborhood of 125 feet in heigh
and 1t will be SO painted as to make i
a thing of beauty. The contracts fol
the standpipe have not as yet been let
but they will probably be signed BY
the first of next July.

societies of the church. The enter
