The police will have to go after the
freight conductors agaiu for blocking
crossings. On Sunday, between
twelve and one O'Clock, just at the
busiest hour of the day, a freight
pulled in from the south and blocked
the Prairie avenue and Pomeroy
street crossings for nearly quarter
of an hour. This closing of streets is
bad enough when blockade of trains
gives the trainmen some sort of an
excuse, but in this instance there was
not even that. With clear track in
front Of him and plenty of room and
time to break the train at the cross
ings if he had to leave it, the engineer
of the freight left his train blocking
two busy streets while the engine
went off to do some switching. 1t is
this care1essness that makes the pub
lie impatient of any delay even when
there is the best possible excuse for
it, but since the officers of the road do
not care enough about public opinion
to stop it the police will have to see
what they can'do.

Charles QuarIes Would Encour-
age 0ratoricaI Work in
kenosha Schools.
ADDS INTEREST TO WORK.
Former Kenosha School Boy Sets an
Example for Other Graduates by
Offering Award for Merit.

Oratory IN the Kenosha High school
is to have new impetus this year, as
Principal W.. Hammi11 of the school
has received letter from Charles
Quar1es, the we'll known Mi1wauke e
attorney, IN which he offers to give a
splendid gold medal which will be of
fered as trophy for the winner of an
oratorica1 contest among the members
of the Junior class of the High school.
For some time Mr. Quar1es has been
planning to do something of this kind
and he has announced that the Quar-
les medal will be offered annually to
the orators of the Kenosha school.
In announcing his intention Mr..
Quarles has sent the following letter
to the principals;
Milwaukee, Sept. 6, 1904.
W. ]. Hamn1i11, Esq,
Principal of High School,
Kenosha, Wis.
Dear Sir-After considering your
suggestion, I offer as a prize In the
Junior oratorica1 contest of the Keno
sha High school, to be held next
spring, gold medal; and herewith
enclose sketch of same, submitted by
the A1sted hasten Company of this
city.
AS to the lettering on the medal, 1
would suggest on the face the follow
ing: "Junior Oratorica1 Contest,
Kenosha High School, On the re-
verse, the date; and on the bar the
name of the winner.
Kindly give me your ideas as to the
inscription and also whether the de-
sign meets your views or not, and re-
turn sketch.
Yours truly,
CHARLES QUARLEs.
The sketch shows a handsome
medal of chased gold.
The announcement of the contest
will be made with the opening of the
new school year, and there is no doubt
but that the offer made by Mr.. Quar-
les will result in the development of
some splendid orators among the
juniors.
Mr.. Quar1es, who has made this
generous offer, is one of the best
known of the Kenosha High school
boys and was a member of the class of
1862. During his school days in Ke-
nosha Mr.. Quar1es was one of the
leading orators of the school, and at
this time he laid the foundations for
his ability as speaker.
Since leaving school Mr.. Quar1es
has always shown the greatest inter-
est in the schools of Kenosha, and he
has been one of the regular attend
ants at the biennial reunions of the
alumni of the school.
It is to be hoped that this example
set by Mr.. Quar1es will have the effect
of causing other members of the
alumni association to offer prizes for
competition among the students of the
schools of the city.

JUST at present Kenosha is suffer
ing from an epidemic of petty crimes,
mostly the work of boys. Doubtless
the parents of these young fellows
would plead ignorance of any know
ledge of the way they spend their
evening hours, but unless parents
begin to notice the way their sons are
putting in their time, the public may
find it necessary to put some of them
where everybody will know where
they are nights.

NEW YEAR OPENED.
Attendance at the College of Commerce
Shows a Large Increase.

The College of Commerce opened
for the fall and winter term on Tues
day evening and the marked increase
in the attendance on the opening day
promises most successful year for
the school. Sixty students have al
ready matriculated for the year and it
is gratifying to know that nearly all
are new students. Many of the old
students will be back during the year,
and it is expected that the number
will reach the hundred mark before
the end of the present month. The
new teachers, as well as the old
ones, were all on hand when the
school opened yesterday.

CONDITIONS this summer are said to
be especially favorable to the growth
of thist1es, and they are increasing at
an alarming rate in many parts of
Kenosha county. Unless there is an
effort made to check their spread, the
thist1es are going to be a serious
menace to the prosperity of the farm
ers in the future.

THE st. Louis fair has paid back
nearly half of the money advanced by
the government, and the chances are
that Uncle Sam will get his money
back. The fair is undoubtedly the
greatest exhibition the world has ever
seen, and the disappointing attend
ance is due solely to the failure ofthe
bureau of publicity and promotion to
properly advertise its attractions.

DRIVEN BACK BY ICE.
w. S. Champ Tells of Failure to Reach
the America.

London, Sept. 30-W. S. Champ. secre-
tary to VIM. Ziegler of New York and
who was in charge of the expedition
sent to search for the Arctic explora-
ton steamer America, will sail for New
York on board the White Star line
steamer Cedric. On mis- arrival in the
United States he will report to Mr.
Ziegler the details of the two attempts
of the Frithjof to reach Franz josef
land for the relief of the America
Mr.. Champ stated to the Associated
Press that the next relief expedition will
leave in June, 1905. Describing the at
tempt after leaving Vardo, Norway, on
August 6, Mr.. Champ said the Frithof
first encountered tremendous gales. At
ter meeting with an ice pack she steam
ed as rapidly as possible until she
reached almost 70 degrees of north latf-
tude when drift ice drove her back.
After endeavoring to find another pas
sage the Frithof was obliged, on sep
TENDER IA, to give up the attempt as
new ice was forming of a thickness or
seven inches in "a hours.
Mr.. Champ said it was just possible
that the America might be able to re-
lease herself during October, but prob
ably she would not be heard from until
next year. He believed, however, that
the members of the expedition were
amply supplied with provisions and
other necessarieS, and that there was
no reason for much anxiety concerning
them.
The steamer America, which was fit
ted out for Arctic exploration at the
expense of and under the direction of
Mr. Ziegler entered the Arctic circle
more than a year ago, and since the
beginning of September, 1903, no word
has been received from the vessel. The
America sailed under the command of
Anthony Fiala whose plan was to form
a secondary base in Prince Rudolphland,
after sailing across to Franz Josefland,
and from there follow an overland
route to the pole. The estimated dis
lance is a little more than six hundred
miles and the explorer hoped to ac-
complish the journey in about seventy
days He had with him a party of 30
men.

THE ARABIA RETURNS.
Captain Relates His Experience While
Prisoner of the Russians.

Astoria, Ore, Sept. 30.-The ORR
entail liner Arabia of the Portland
Asiatic line, has arrived in Portland
from far eastern points. The Arabia
was captured by the Russian Vladivo-
stok squadron July %, one hundred
miles north of Yokohama. The cruis-
er Gromoboi brought the Arabia to
stop and three or four hundred men
boarded her. The Arabia was taken
to VIadivostok where $1,000 sacks of
flour were removed from her, $4,000
sacks being left on board. The Ara ia
also had on board ninety fiat cars
which the Russians threw into the
sea. They washed ashore along the
beach where they were rotting when
the liner was finally released
1--WE were at VIadivostok for %
days." said Captain Bahle, and there
met the crews of several captured yes
sells. The Russian officer showed us
every courtesy and personally our re-
Iations with them could not have been
more pleasant. The Rossia and Grom-
oboi were at Vladivostok while the
the Russians claimed both vessels had
been repaired sufficiently to permit
them to resume duty, but 1 do not be-
lieVe this. I counted 26 gaping holes
in the Rossia All of them were near
the water line and were received in
battle with Admiral Kamimura's fleet
off the Tsu islands August "A. L Sc
cured a photograph of the Rossia, but
it disappeared from my cabln at 70
kohama.
1.-The Rurik, one of the vessels that
captured my ship, has since been sunk
We left Vladivostok August 28.
Captain Bahle talked with many
Russian officers at Vladivostok and all
seemed cheerful. When the success
sive Japanese victories were referred
to the Russian laughed, saying the
Japanese could not always be success
full and that Russia would ultimately
win At Yokohama the Japanese were
celebrating the victory of Lao Yang
when the Arabia arrived.

publican can be made up from publish
ed reports and tariffs in force in Texas
and Kansas: and we further ADMIT that
figures don't lie, but liars do figure,
and in this case IL seems they are past
masters of the art.
The figures in this schedule are taken
from Texas tariffs on products and live
stock moving to trade centers or ter
minal markets. the Kansas figures are
based on traffic moving from one point
to another in the state and not to ter
minal markets. Probably not five per
cent of the traffic is moved on this
basis.
"Of course every one knows that the
editor of the Ell Dorado Republican
would not know these facts, and he
simply took a schedule delivered to him
by those representing the railroads who
had been turned down by the Topeka
and ERporia papers, and they finally
found a willing tool in him, well know
ing that he did not know railroad
tariff from the roadbed. There is not a
reputable railroad officer in the whole
state who dares, over his own sigma
ture, defend the publication of that
schedule as being a fair and honest rep
resentation of the facts.
THE people of Kansas nave right
through the Legislature to make rates
and classiffcations and to give the peo-
pie the needed relief and TO furnish
them a for.,m before which they can go
for the relief of their grievances.
THE people pushing this movement
they believe it Il probable that victory
can be gained in the coming election.
They have the courage of their conVic-
tions and are receiving funds from over
the state to keep up the work, three
fourths of which come from Republic
cans, and the good work will go on and
on, Notwithstanding the slurs and
sings that are made by the opposition
press.
Under the authority of the fedora
ton a bill for the control of railroads
has been prepared by Judge F. L Mar
tin of Hutchinson and A. E. Helm of
Wichita, which bill has been printed
for distribution to all those who feel an
interest in the matter and ask for it.
THE business interests of the state
as now represented by the federation.
will be in evidence in Topeka this win
ter and those politicians who are so ac-
tive now circulating false reports
against the federation and training
with the opposition, may have to line
up vet and answer to their conStitu-
ents for their actions.
Those who laugh last laugh best.
Respectfully submitted to a critical
public.

THEY CAN'T AGREE.
Republican Factions in Delaware Fail
to Reach Compromise.

Wilmington. Del, Sept. 30.-The
warning factions of the Republican
party in Delaware made a vain effort
to effect compromise on state
ticket, both the Dupont or regular
Republicans and the AddickS or union
Republicans having held their con-
ventions and nominated separate tick
cts with the exception of presidential
electors. which are the same. The
hitch is over the choice of a candidate
for governor, each faction insisting
that it shall have the naming of the
candidate.
Recently the regulars made propo-
sition that each side withdraw it's
ticket and that the regulars submit
the names of five men from which
the unions might select one as the
candidate of both factions for gov
ernor.
The state committees of both fac
tions met here and endeavored to
reach an agreement After each com
mittee had met separately, subcommlt-
tees were appointed to confer. Each
subcommittee in turn presented list
of names from which the other might
select a candidate for governor:
Both propositions were rejected
The union committee then offered TO
hold a joint primary election through
out the state for the purpose of allow
ing the voters TO decide the disputed
question, both factions to abide by the
result. The Regulars said this could
not be done, as another primary cleo
ton would be in violation OF the law
The union mems answer to this pro
test was that the primary would be
merely to learn the will of the voters
so as to guide the committee in max
ing up the ticket. The regulars would
not accept the proposition. There was
no further exchange OF propositions,
and both committees adjourned.
