Police Officers Seek to Find a Man Who
Stole Pony in the Town of Somers.
The police of the city are making
an effort to locate a German farm
hand by the name of ''John' who is
alleged to have stolen broncho from
the Broughten farm in the town of
Somers Saturday evening. The
name of the man is unknown and
among the people of the town he was
known as "John." On Saturday
evening at eight O'Clock he drove
team of ponies over to Four Corners
and one of them was placed in the
barn at the Corners while the man
jumped on the other and started for
Kenosha. It is alleged that he passed
through Kenosha at eight O'Clock
Sunday morning and was seen riding
North along Milwaukee avenue. It is
supposed that he went to Racine and
for this reason the Racine officials
have been asked to make special
effort to locate the fellow. The horse
was valued at a hundred dollars.

In a speech at the annual banquet
of the New York Chamber of Com

speaking as the representative Of the

period of excessive speculation would
not follow as one of the results of the
election and remarked that eff hope
full conservatism shall possess the
country there is no reason to doubt
that we are approaching period of
not of unprecedented initiation but of
unequa11ed growth, and sound and

THE case of the "Smith" boy and
his mother who have been imposing
on the charitable people OF the city
for weeks with fake story of pitifu1
restitution is a whole sermon in itself
on the danger of indiscriminate char
ity. Every dollars worth of plumber
secured by these people is just SO
much taken from the deserving poor.
AS a general rule, those who ask for
charity are the least worthy to receive
it, and the only safe way is to have
every request for charity investigated
before making any contribution.

ALL this talk of possible and prob

a trif1e premature. Whatever may

no one ever accused him of lack of

he alone, will name the next senator.

THERE is some merit in the Demo
cratic scheme of holding party con-
vention to select candidates prior to
the primary election in that it will
give the poor man a chance to become
a candidate for state office, something
that he could not hope to do unless he
had the backing of his party or
ganization. A man receiving the en-
dorsement of his candidacy at the
primary election from his party or
ganization would have the support of
that org anization at every one of the
polling places, and as there are in the
neighborhood of 1000 of these voting
places IN the state, no rival candidate
running in opposition to the
organizations choice could hope to
be represented in every voting
precinct without the expenditure of a
great deal of money. 1t would cost an
independent fully $40, 900 for his work
ers at the polls, to say nothing of his
advertising bills and few men would
care to go to this expense just to Sc
cure nomination at primary cleo
ton.

Manager Breen Decides That the
kenosha Team Will Affiliate
With State League.
BREEN TO BE VICE-PRESIDENT
New League Formally Launched With
Eight-Team Circuit.-O Cities.
May Be Added Later.

The Kenosha base bali team will
have a chance to strive for the state
championship next season for at the
meeting of the managers of state
teams held at Oshkosh Tuesday night
the managers of the Kenosha team
decided to cast their fortunes with the
Wisconsin state league for the COM
ing season. Peter T. Breen of Keno
sha was elected vice-president of the
new league.
Subject to the call of John T..
Powers, the Chicago promoter, the
representatives of eight of the leading
base ball teams in the state met at
Oshkosh Tuesday evening and
completed the formation of the Wis
consin State Base Ball League. Mr..
Powers was elected president of the
league, 2. I. Breen of this city, vice
president and w. ]. McGinness, of
Green Bay, treasurer.
The plans for the league circuit
have not as yet been fully decided and
the number of teams in the circuit is
still matter of conjecture. 1t is
certain that there will be eight teams
IN the league and it is possible that
the number will be increased to
twelve.
If it is decided to limit the member
ship of the league to eight clubs the
following teams will be included in
the circuit: Oshkosh, Green Bay, Ke-
nosha, Kaukauna, Wausau, La
Crosse, Fond du Lac and GAINESVILLE.
Other teams which have sought
franchises are Marinette, Manitowoc,
Chippewa Falls and Sheboygan.
The management of the Racine
team has been flirting with the pro-
motors OF the new league, but as yet
it has not asked for franchise and it
is probable that the request would be
denied. Mr.. Powers has carefully
looked over the ground and has Sc
lected towns which will make the
league a paying one. All of the eight
places now included played to paying
business during the year just closed,
and with league fight it is thought
that these towns will roll ND big
profits.
Ihe details of the management of
the league have not as yet been COM
p1eted, but it was arranged that each
team should play 112 games during
the season, which will open May s.
Games will be played at the rate of
four a week, and Kenosha will be one
OF the Sunday towns. It is probable
that the home team will play in Keno
sha on every Sunday during the sea-
son.
The salary limit for players was
placed at 5000 a month for the team.
The league will be affiliated with
the National Base Ball association at
once and in this way will secure the
protection of the major league teams.
Now that the destiny of Kenosha
for the coming season has been estab-
hshed Manager Breen has begun to
look about for men for the league
team and has already signed several
OF the old time Kenosha players. Her
mann has been claimed for Kenosha
and it is probable that other members
of the old team will be secured during
the next ten days.

GET ONE INSTITUTE.
Kenosha County Farmers to Have In
stitute at Somers on Jan. 10.

L
Kenosha county is to have one farm
er's institute during the coming win
ter for the report Of the Department
of Agriculture of the State University
which has just been sent out shows
that an institute is planned to be held
at the town of Somers on the 10th and
18th of January. The sessions will be
held at the town hall in the village
and De1bert Utter, one of the best
conductors associated with this work,
will be in charge of it. This is the
only institute asked for by the farm
ers. Nearly all the other counties in
the state will have two institutes but
kenosha county farmers seem to have
been slow to ask for the institutes.
Added to the institute at Somers an
institute will be held at Genoa juno
ton at the same time, the conductor
being L. E. Scott. It is, expected that
many of the farmers of the town of
Randall will attend this institute.

ONE of the things the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature can take up
with great profit to the people of Wis
consin is the subject of the manu-
facture and sale of impure and adu1-
terated food products in the state.
This evil has grown to such proper
tions, not only in Wisconsin but
throughout the country, as to become
serious menace to the public health.
1t would seem to be the duty of con-
gress to 1egis1ate on the subject for
the benefit of the whole country but
in default of an effective federal law
it becomes the duty of the lawmakers
of the state of Wisconsin to take the
matter up and to pass effective laws
against adu1terated food products and
impure medicines for the protection
of the people of the state. The public
has no way to protect itself against
the impositions of the unscupu1ous
dealers who handle this stuff and the
only way to stop the sale of these de-
1eterious products in the state is to
absolutely prohibit such sale by laws
We have some laws now on the statute
books designed to protect the pur-
chaser but chemical analysis Of
many of the goods which may be
bought without question any day in
the open market, shows only too clear
! 1y that the law now on the books is a
dead letter. If any further proof is
needed that the present laws on the
subject are inadequate and useless it
may be found in the fact that manu-
facturers of adu1terated goods are
willing to guarantee immunity from
prosecution and punishment to the
merchants who will agree to handle
them. This shows pretty plainly that
they believe they are not taking many
chances with the present laws and
what we want in this state and what
the next Legislature should give us is
a law that will make it Improbable
and unsafe to handle adu1terated
goods in Wisconsin.

Ensley, March 26.-(Special 1.-The board of trade, that has done so much for the industrial advancement of the city for the past few months, will renew it's eff forts in the next week or two in the in terests of the new government building that 3the Steel City Is endeavoring to secure.
 The board of trade will have a meeting soon and start a movement that 1t Is hoped will end in the postoffice depart ment erecting a much-needed government building Some time ago the board com menced a movement to secure govern ment building but owing to the closing down of several of the largest industries the matter was dropped for the time be- ing. Now that the big rod mill is to re- sume, and with the other plants making fine records, the board believes that this Is the opportune time to renew its eff forts in behalf of a new postoffice.
 The business of the Ensley postoffice continues to increase. Postmaster T. B. Lawler and his efficient asstants are kept busy handling Uncle Sams heavy mail The business of the office has in creased to such an extent as to make new building very necessary. The pres ent quarters are as commodious as can be obtained in the city, but at the present rate of growth the office room will soon be altogether inadequate.

Eutaw, March 2G-(speclal) )-The polit- ical campaign in Greene county has been warm for some time, especially the races for congress. 1t is pretty generally con- ceded that Bankhead will carry the coun- ty, but there Is a diversity of opinion as to what majority will be given him. Bankhead supporters claiming majority of lbO to 900, while Hobson supporters say Bankhead will not carry the county by over 100 votes. If by that number
 It is not an easy matter to say who is taking the lead in the races for associate justices of the supreme court, except as to Anderson. It goes without saying that he will carry Greene by a solid vote, this having been his home. Simpson has a number of ardent supporters who are do- ing effective work for him. So also have Selheimer and Thorngton ardent sup porters in Greene.
 Following Is a list of the candidates for county office: For judge of probate. A. r. Smith, E. Wilson and w. A. Gordon; for clerk of the circuit court, R. F. Mobley. W. R. McCarrol and s. M.
