Agents Seeking Laboring Men to 90 to
California Managed to Entrap
People From This City.
RUBY PROSPECTS PROVE FALSE
Men Who Went to California Find it Inn
possible to Get Work and Return to
Kenosha Financially Embarrassed.

Look out for the agent who wants
you to 20 to California to accept a
good position. There are half dozen
Kenosha men and boys scattered along
the road from California to Wisconsin
who are willing to bear evidence that
the offers of these agents are false and
if these men ever get home-though
they be footsore and weary-they will
be willing to accept the goods the Gods
provide them in Kenosha and not at
tempt to make their fortune by seeking
the western coast line.
One of party Of five men who went
to California a short time ago in re-
Spouse to the offers of these agents has
just returned to Kenosha and he tells
of the suffering that the party en-
countered.
When the men left Kenosha ruby
hopes of fortune and good positions
were held out to them but not one of
them managed to better their condition
and in fact none of them managed to
find work of any kind. California
may be fine state for the raising of
fruit and its climate may be suited for
the innocent winter tourist but it is no
place for the iaboring man. The Ke-
noshans reached San Francisco sever
al weeks ago only to find that the 20.
sitions that had been offered to them
had been filled by earlier corners and

THE railroad companies claim that
the assessed value of the taxable real
estate property of the state is about SO
per cent of the true value. The claim
is based on figured gathered in Racine,
Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties and
may be true enough as regards those
counties but in Kenosha county the
assessed value is certainly good deal
nearer true value than that. If the
railroad tax committee doubts it, let
them come here and interview our
supervisor of assessments.

although they tramped the city uns:i
their shoes were worn they were not
able to find work of any kind, Thew
first sought work at their trade aud
then started out to take anything that
would give them decent living. But
they failed to find it. What had been
represented to them as great industrial
plants we're found TO be little more
than small sh ps and in no case were
wages paid that would attract a man
who had been on the pay roll of the
kenOsha factories. The men beca me
desperate and walked to the small
towns IN California seeking work but
they could find nothing. Cheap labor
had filled even the positions on the
fruit farms and it was impossible for
the men to get job that would pay
them dollar day. On account of
the fact that some of the men were
short of funds they were forced to &C.
cept positions as menials in families
in San Francisco. One of them manag.
ed to get money enough to pay his pas
sage back to Kenosha but the other
members of the party are now walking
home. There is a moral in this story
OF the survivor and that is to look
pretty long at Kenosha job before
you leave to accept one in a country
with which you are not familiar. Of
course there are plenty of jobs for the
men who are walking home and they
will be welcomed with open arms
when they reach Kenosha.

SEEKS A DIVORCE.

Laurits @. Larsen Asks For Separation
From His Wife.
Laurits c. Larsen, formerly we'll
known in this city but now a resident
of Sioux City, Iowa, has filed suit in
the Circuit court in Iowa asking for a
divorce from his wife, Larsine Fred
rikke Larsen, of Kenosba. The pa
pers were served on Mrs. Larsen to-
day.
A short time ago Mrs. Larsen began
suit for separation but she withdrew
the suit, the couple deciding to give
married life another trial. The suit
as brought by the husband is most
sensational. 1t will be tried at the
next term of the Circuit court in Sioux
City and it is understood that Mrs.
Larsen will contest the suit.

THE usual controversy over the sys-
tenn of heating to be installed in the
new school building is on again. It is
to be hoped that the board will keep at
it until the members find contractor
who is willing to give satisfactory
bond to put in a system that will heat
the building all the time in any kind
of weather. The lowest bid for a heat
ing plant for the new school received
by the board at its last meeting was
$3695. For that amount of money the
board ought to get plant that would
do the work in any kind of weather.
But he question is, will they get it if
the bid is accepted. The company
submitting it proposes to put III the
same system as that used in the Weis.
kopf and Deming schools. If we re-
member correctly the board had lit
tie trouble over the heating at the
Weiskopf school last winter and GER
tainly the plant put in at the Deming
school is not doing satisfactory work
at the present time. Only one room at
the Deming, that of the Principal, has
been comfortab bic during the cold snap.
Two of the rooms could not be used at
all some days, one other has only been
used part of the time, but one of the
rooms formerly ased as playroom has
been we'll heated by an ordinary
stove. If the board is not going
to get better service in the new build
ing they might as we'll put stoves ia
all the rooms to begin with and save
these $4,000. If the system cannot heat
the Deming school with five rooms
how is it going to heat the Durkee
with ten? 1t is not enough that the
system works pretty well generally.
Considering what this system costs to
install and operate it, ought to work
well all the time and certainly the con-
tractor should be required to make the
Denling school heating system do its
work before he is given contract to
put in another one.

A BOXER, according to the word as
applied in St. Clair county republican
politics, may be defined as ga perpetual
ofiice-seeker with lost hope" This
may look like an innocent definition Of
an innocent individually but to him
who has somewhat Investigated the
characteristics of this species of genus
homo, it is a we'll known fact that dan
ger, disaster, destruction and desolation
follow in his wake like the fiery tail Of
crazy comet 1t has been said that
shell hath no fury like woman seorn-
ed" and as emphatically may it be stat
ed that the abode Of lost souls has no
greater propagation of discord, disunion
and general deyiltry than a politician
whose overwhelming desire to sacrifice
himself on the altar of office, has been
persistently ignored by his party until
all hope is lost and nothing remains but
revenge. Broekway has never produc-
ed but two genuine specimens of this
article of politician. One of them has
now gone over to the Democrats which
is certainly more honorable than pre-
tending to still be Republican, while
the other is yet prancing around throw
ing off red fire, and painting "blood on
the associating with Demo
Gratis but declaring himself to be Re-
publican.

New Serial in McClure's.

In the November MCCLURE's, Stewart
Edward White begins new serial
which reveals new power and breadth
in his uniformly splendid work. Out
of the great northern forests of "The
Blszed Trail" and the snowy wastes of
"The Silent Places" he has moved his
scene of action to the boundless plains
and painted deserts of Arizona. He
sees and feels the beauty and awe of
the desert as he does of the forest, and
is able to make his reader share this in
sight and pleasure with him. The
story he tells here is the desert yiyified,
flaming with its color, poignant with the
sense of its immensity. In this strange,
weird, and stupendous setting he lays
his plot and unrolls tale, simple and
deep. tits the story Of the coming to-
gether Of the Big Man OF the Wilder
ness and the Little Woman OF the Town
how the desert, picturesque and ro-
mantle to him, terrible and repellent
to her. affects their lives and fate.
Mr.. White carries his reader far into
his narrative in this first instalment,
and whets the appetite for more with
rare skill. One feels the thrill of giant
forces at work, of something tremend-
Gus impending.

TnE Lies and false accusations of th

THE lies and false accusations of the
democrats and disgruntled politicians,
that the republican machine workers
defeated the primary election bill two
years ago, has been beautifully refuted
within the last few weeks. The real
reason that the Colby -Powell-Stone bill
did not pass, was because it was dis
cussed by the legislature and examined
so thoroughly that all the glaring de-
fects were discovered and, before it
was possible to correct, amend and get
together on q substitute, the time had
come to adjourn. The defects that
conservative members of the legislature
saw and refused to adopt, have now
been discovered by the "lunkheads''
who were so sure that they had the
"only thing" in primary reform. The
recent primary election in Detroit
where the democrats openly voted fol

ticket, ana again the unfair distribution
of offices in counties which contain
