STORM WAS VIOLENT.
Communication Interfered With And
Cattle Killed in Fierce Storm.

The fierce storm which passed over
Kenosha between nine and ten o clock
Tuesday evening was one Of the worst
of the year and reports from different
parts of the county show that con-
siderable damage was done. Te1e-
graph and telephone wires were
down and for several hours the city
was practically shut off from the out
side world.
In the town of Pleasant Prairie the
storm was especially severe and con-
siderable damage was done. At the
Balm farm in the town of Somers two
valuable Guernsey cows we're killed
by lightning during the storm.

POSTMASTER GENERAL HENRY c..
PAYNE, one of the strong men of Wis
consin, died in Washington Tuesday
night. A citizen of this state since
early manhood and possessing those
qualities of heart and brain which
mark the natural leader of men, he
became power in the business and
political life of the state and nation,
and no one man has done more to ad-
vance the material welfare of Wis
consin. But it is not for his political
and business successes, though both
were great, that Henry c. Payne will
be longest remembered, but for the
loving loyalty to his friends which
was, perhaps, his most distinguish
ing characteristic. No man in public
or private life was blessed with more
devoted personal friends than he, and
no man deserved them more.

If there is any law in the land to fit
the case of the men who have been
manufacturing life preservers with
iron bars in them, they ought to get
the full benefit of it. To make the
punishment fit the crime, they ought
to be hung.

The application of the proceeds of
public land sales to the reclamation
of irrigable portions of our arid and
semi-arid public domain meets my
cordial approval. Through the en-
1ightened policy thus established un-
der the present administration the
long deferred hopes of the struggling
settlers of the great arid and semi
arid West will be realized in the up
building of substantial communities
in places hitherto waste or compare
lively reproductive. At the same
time, vast area of the public domain
will be opened, upon which the in
dustrious home seekers, now residing
in overcrowded Eastern centers, may
find homes. The sum of more than
$40, 200, 600 now available in the re-
clamation fund, to which additions
are constantly being made, guaran-
tees under wise administration great
progress in the work of irrigation
and the settlement of the arid region
within few ears.-Senator Fair

THE Republican County Conven-
ton met at the court house Saturday
to nominate full county ticket, and
the bitterness and bad blood stirred
up at that convention will harass the
Republican party of lKenosha county
for years to come. 1t is too soon, yet,
to hazard any predictions as to the
strength of the ticket, but the gene
raj opinion seems to be that the
ticket would have been stronger If it
had been made up entirely of straight
out and out La Toilette men. Some
of the men who have worked hardest
for the success for the governor in
the county were given scant consider
alton by the delegates, and this ma
tura11y left some sore spots which
may work harm to the ticket. The
candidates, personally, are clean
men. OF the three men renominated
little need be said. John B. Ma1oney,
Perkins G.. Torrey and VIM c. Crosby
need no introduction to the voters of
Kenosha county. Mr.. Ma1oney was
elected County Superintendent of
Schools in 1894, and succeeded Judge
S1osson as Clerk of the Circuit Court
and Register in Probate. Vim. c.
Crosby came into office as County
Clerk Jan 1st, 1899, and Mr.. Torrey
was appointed Register of Deeds on
the death of W. S. Gibbon in April of
the same year, All of them have
served the people faithfully, and the
voters know them as honest and COM
petent officials. OF the nominee for
Assemb1yman, Walker Curtis of
Salem, little is known in the city. He
was selected as a staunch supporter of
the governor, however, and his friends
say that if he is elected he can be de-
pended upon to obey the governor in
all things. DR.. Vietch, who secured
the much coveted nomination for
Sheriff, is well known throughout the
county, and he will undoubtedly make
atrong campaign. Harry Fault1ess,
the nominee for County Treasurer,
has been a resident of Kenosha only a
short time, and is not we'll known,
but he is said to be a strong cam
paigner. Robert Verne Baker, the
candidate for District Attorney,
DR.. Robinson, the nominee for
Coroner, and Alvin H. Blood, the
nominee for Surveyor, are both well
known Kenosha men, and both are
entirely competent to fulfill the duties
of the positions to which they aspire.
Perhaps the less said at this time
about the resolutions passed by the
convention, the better for the ticket.
The resolutions as passed were an in
suit to every Republican, and it looks
now as if the hasty and i11-advised
action of the convention in passing
them had alienated hundreds of the
men who abide by the decision of the
National Convention, from the
support of the county ticket.
They may have given great satisfac-
ton to some of the more rabid dele
gates but it was mighty poor politics
to pass them. They furnish arnmuni-
ton for the Democrats which they
will be quick to seize upon and if
those resolutions are not heard Of a
good many times in the campaign, we
are very much mistaken.

BREAD AND WATER FOR HOBO
Justice Sturges Fines J. J. Murphy
Twenty Dollars and Costs.


Justice Sturges has found new
remedy to get rid of the tramps in this
section of the state and when j. ].
Murphy was arraigned before him
yesterday afternoon ona charge of in
su1ting people in the Northern part of
the city the Justice fined him
twenty dollars and the costs of the
action. The hobo had no money with
which to pay the 6ne and he was sent
to the county jail for term of five
days. Murphy will not dine on the
fat of the land as the court included
it in the sentence that he was to have
nothing but hard bread and water. A
few sentences like this and the hobos
will fight shy of Kenosha in the
future.

MESSENGER FOR ROOSEVELT.
Archbishop Pleased With His Policy
in the Philippines,

IN the Philippines
Archbishop Messmer would like to
see President Roosevelt elected. He
so expressed himself IN an interview
yesterday. The interview was brought
out by the cab1egram that the Vatican
was watching the election here and
hoped for Rooseve1t's success. II
cannot speak for the Vatican" said
the archbishop, 'but personally
consider the president an honest,
straightforward man, who desires to
do right. He has shown this in his
dealings in the Philippines, in which
he has had closer relations with the
Vatican than any other president. If
he is elected I believe the policy he
has inaugurated will be continued
and the Catholics in the Philippines
will have fair treatment"

BOGUS QUAKER PREACHER
CAUSES STIR AT MARION
Man in Garb of Minister Seeks to
Force Attentions on Young
Women.
pecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special 70 the Indianapolis journal
MARION, Ind, June IA strange man,
disguised as Quaker minister. has created
CONSERVATION among the young women of
South Marion who attend the Second
Friends Church. The strange man APP
peared at meeting in the Friends Church
a few evenings ago and caused a sensation
by his utterances. After the worshippers
had offered testimonials the strange man
arose and contradicted every statement
that had been made by the speakers who
had preceded him. After the service he
insisted on walking home with a young
woman who had come to the services alone
and told her that he was planning to take
her to the St. Louis fair. Since attending
this meeting he has annoyed several young
women of the church, following them
wherever they go. Last evening the fake
preacher boarded street car upon which
Miss Mary Wooten, member of the
Friends Church, was riding, and attempted
TO hug her. The conductor of the car ran
to the young woman's assistance and the
man in the garb of minister jumped from
the car. The police have been given a de-
scription of the imposter and will arrest
him. The young women of South Marion
are much frightened and refuse TO leave
their homes again without company. II is
the supposition of the officers that the man
is demented.
