questions the propriety of giving gov

INSULT TO GERMANS
Democrats Refuse to Consider
Large Voting Population
in Making Ticket
KICKS FROM ALL DIRECTIONS

There is no end of kicking among
the Democrats on the ticket placed in
nomination by the county convention
on Saturday, and it is more than pro-
bab1e that the Democrats of the
county will have hard time secur-
ing majority this year.
In some manner the makers of the
slate omitted the rather important
function of placing a German on the
ticket until the office of district attor-
ney was reached, and at that time the
thought came to them that the Ger
man had been forgotten, and Charles
B. Werve was placed on the ticket.
This, however, failed to touch the
Germans hearts, and all over the
county a big kick is being heard.
The error has become so apparent
that it is claimed that one of the cam
didates will be asked to retire from
the ticket in order to make room for a
German.
The ticket named is none too strong
at it's best, and without the aid of at
there is not ghost of show for the
election of man on the ticket.
DR.. ]. L. C1eary has announced that
he will not accept the nomination for
the office of coroner, and it is more
than probable that there will be sew
eral other assertions from the ticket.
It is claimed that Walter L. Dexter
was named without his consent, and
it is possible that he will decline to
make the run.
In the event of the retiring of these
two men from the ticket, the Demo
Gratis may find place for some of the
German voters of the party, and in
this way do something toward stem
ming the tide of dissatisfaction oc-
casioned by the representatives of the
party when they overlooked one of
the strongest elements at the conven-
ton on Saturday.

Frank S. Komp has not as yet given
up the hope of getting bond for his

which are to be used in securing the
coveted bail. The schedule con-

seemed to be glad to get out on the
street again and he is beginning to
hope that he will yet be able to find
some one IN Kenosha who is willing
to accept the sureties to which he
made an affidavit today. When asked
in regard to bail today Komp said,

have been working so hard on other

The case in the supreme court in
which Komp is interested is set for

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Matt Berris has His Left Foot
Crushed Under Passenger
Train Sunday.
INJURY TO TRAIN HOPPER, ("

Matt Berris, a sixteen year old son
of John Berris who resides on Maple
street, had his left wrist dis1ocated
and his left foot crushed on Sunday
afternoon by being caught under the
wheels of the passenger train which
left Kenosha for Chicago at five
o'clock. Among the men about the
depot Berris is known as ''train hop
per- and he was attempting to jump
on the passenger train when the ac-
cident occurred. The boy had been
running after the train and had got a
poor hold on the swing to the platform
and was thrown down. BY some
miracle he was not thrown entirely
under the train and crushed. One of
the wheels passed over his left foot
and crushed and bruised it in a ter
rible manner. Many spectators
witnessed the accident and it is
stated that one tainted.
The train was stopped and Berris
was taken to the home of his father
and DR.. William M. Farr, the surgeon
OF the company, was called to dress
the wound. He is hopeful of being
able to save the young mans foot,
but it is possible that it will have to
be ampItated.
The injury of young Berris should
prove an awful lesson to the boys who
congregate about the station and
make practice of Jumping on and
off the trains running through the
city. For some time the officials of
the railway company have been max
ing an effort to break up the practice
but there seems no way to show the
boys their danger and they continue
to jump trains, taking hourly risk of
life and limb.
If the doctors are able to save the
foot for young Berris he will probably
be crippled for life.

IN PATH OF STORM
Home of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Lehman
at Minneapolis DespoiIed
by the Big Cyclone.
ESCAPED WITHOUT INJURIES

Letters received in this city from
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lehman, former
residents of Kenosha, who are now
residing in Minneapolis, state that
the Lehman home was in the center
of the path of the. cyclone which
swept over Minneapolis and the sur
rounding country week ago Sunday,
and the former Kenoshans sustained
quite loss as result of the storm.
Happily neither of them was injured.
Mrs. Lehman and her husband
were just preparing to go out for an
evenings amusement when the storm
broke over the city, and thinking it
would be of short duration they sat
down IN the par1or to wait until it was
past. A few moments later the apart
ment building in which they made
their home was struck by the storm
The high wind tore off the roof of the
building and the large chimney fell
with a crash, breaking through the
ceiling and casting bricks and mortar
into the room where Mr.. and Mrs.
Lehman were sitting. They fled to
the rear rooms of the fiat only to find
that the brick from the chimney had
fallen there, demo1isf1ing the furni-
ture and breaking the dishes. They
escaped from the house by a back
stairway.
Mrs. Lehman will be remembered in
KenoSha as Miss Josie Fisher. dauph.

B. w. Frank & Co. has absorbed the
Hadden commission company of Mil

The B. w. Frank company. is an old
Chicago commission house which re-
sumed membership in the Milwaukee
board of trade some time ago. By
Thursday the firm will move its
Offices into those now occupied by the
Hadden company. The absorption of
the company is not a failure in any
way, as since the Woodend failure in
New York Mr.. Hadden had been doing
his trading through B. w. Frank g&
Co., and the absorption is the natural
outgrowtho of that business connection.

Managers of the Kenosha EIec-
trio Railway Company Plan
ming for New Tracks.
ROUTE FOR LINES SELECTED
Line Will Run East From Main on Mar
ket Street, Follow Exchange and
South Exchange Streets to Limits.

The people residing in the south
car service before snow flies again as
Manager Russell, of the Kenosha
Electric Railway company, announced
last night that the company had de-
cided to build the new tracks on Elk
change and South Exchange streets at
once and the work will be started as
soon as the work of paving South Ex-
change street is begun. The con-
tracts for this work will probably be
let at the next meeting of the common
council and it is expected that the
work will be started early in Septem-
Der.
Secretary r. G. Arnold, of the Rail
way company, was in Kenosha on
Saturday and gave the final order for
the building of the line, so there will
pavement. The route for the tracks
has been selected and the line will
run East from the general center at
Market Square to Exchange street
and then south along Exchange and
South Exchange streets to the ex-
IRENE southern limits of the city.
When the building of this spur to
the southern part of the city was first
proposed by Mr.. Arnold he stated
that he intended to wait until the
road between WaEkegan and Kenosha
was completed but so many complica-
tons have arisen in regard to the line
to the south that the president of the
Kenosha company has decided to pro-
coed with the work in Kenosha and
let the company owning the through
line build their tracks according to
his plans. The company now has a
franchise for the right of way which
it proposes to use in the construction
of the new line and it will not be
necessary for any steps to be taken to
secure rights from the council. Ac-
cording to the agreement of the COM
pany with the city the company will
be forced to pave seven feet in the
center of South Exchange street. Mr..
Russell stated yesterday that the COM
pany was perfectly willing to do this
work.
1t is probable that the contract for
the railway paving and that done by
the city will all be let to the same con-
tractor.
With the new line the Kenosha
Electric Railway company will hay e
a line touching every part of the city
and the system in Kenosha will be
one of the most complete in any of
the smaller cities of Wisconsin.

Ladies Auxiliary Seeks Gifts for Re-
decorating the Building.


With their enthusiasm and enter
prise the Ladies Auxiliary of the
Y. M. G. A. has undertaken to secure
the funds necessary to complete the
interior decoration of the Association
building. They intend also to make
the par1ors and dornitories as home
like and attractive as possible with
pictures and bric-a-brac, and to make
the entire building the most cheerful
resort possible for Kenosha young
men.
The ladies met in the Association
par1ors Monday and arranged for a
rummage sale to be held all day on
Friday, Sept. 9. To secure the
money required they appeal to their
many friends for aid by gifts that can
be spared from the home or store or
by individuals. Any such articles
may either be left at the Y. M. c. A.
or will be called for if word is left or
phoned there.
These finishing touches of decora-
ton will make the Kenosha building,
without doubt, model for the medi-
11m sized cities of America, and the
ladies should be encouraged to make
their enterprise perfect by the aid of
donations and gifts.

DIED IN CENTRAL MEXICO.

News was received in this city this
morning of the death of L. A. Beachel
former resident of Kenosha, which
occurred in mining camp in Central
Mexico on August 18th. The camp is
situated more than a hundred miles
from any railroad center and for this
reason it was impossible for the news
to be sent to the relatives of Beache1
IN this city. Mr.. Beachel left Keno
sha about sixteen years ago and
had been a mining expert for many
years. It is supposed that the remains
were buried in Mexico, and the re1a-
tives are expecting to receive more of
the details of the death within few

Arrest of MausWas Malicious.

The attorney representing the Chi

it is impossible for the cats to swim
with the weights attached, they have
