STEWART HAS CINCH.
Counties in the District Pledge Sup
port TO Ken0sha Man for Con-
gressiOnaI Nomination.
CONVENTION MAY BE HELD HERE.

Calvin Stewart, of Kenosha, will be
the Democratic nominee for Congress
in this district if the promises of
Democratic leaders count for any
thing. Mr.. Stewart returned home
Saturday evening after attending the
Democratic National Convention and
during the convention he held con-
ferences with the leading Democrats
of the First Wisconsin District and
without an exception these men
agreed that Stewart was the logical
candidate of the party for Congress.
Stewart has come out strong for sup
port of Parker and stated today that
he was wholly in sympathy with the
work of the convention at st. Louis
and that while he had favored the
nomination of Mr.. Hearst he would be
just as hearty in his support of the
New Yorker.
Efforts are being made to have the
Democratic Congressional Convention
held here and Chairman Mouat, of
GAINESVILLE, is expected to issue the
call for the convention within few
days. Nearly all the men from the
district at the National convention
expressed willingness to have the
convention held here.
Stewart is working hard to land the
convention as well as the nomina ton
and it is more than probable that he
will succeed in both efforts. The
possibility of the Kenosha man de-
feating Congressman Cooper is an
other matter.

WISCONSIN MAY SUE.
ATTORNEYS for Big Corporation Come Here
to Look Into Pleasant Prairie Deal.

Attorneg Harry Seymour, of Mil
waukee. the head of the legal depart
ment of the Wisconsin Telephone
company was in Kenosha Monday
arranging 20 start suit for damages
against the Citizens Telephone and
Telegraph company. No papers have
been filed in the suit as yet, but it is
claimed that the Wisconsin company
will demand damages from the local
company on account of the action of
the local company in removing the
switch board of the Wisconsin COM
pany from Pleasant Prairie. A sig
niticant fact in connection with the
proposed suit is found in the fact that
the managers for the company in
Kenosha have been ordered to stop all
work on lines into the rural districts
from now on until the matter is set
tied in the court.
Manager Ha11frisch, the local
manager for the Wisconsin company,
was seen this morning and when
asked in regard to the suit stated that
he could give out no informat ton more
than that Attorney Seymour had been
IN henosha and had made a close
study of the conditions. He claims
that it was impossible for the local
company to violate the Pleasant Prai-
RE contract and admits that the cut
ting Of the line off the Wisconsin
switch }oard has proved loss to the
company. Mr.. Ha11frisch also ad-
mitted that the head officials of the
company had ordered that ali work in
the county be stopped.
it's thought that the opening of this
suit will mark the beginning of long
legal fight between the two compan-
les by which the Bell people hope to
be able to crush the opposition in Ke-
nosha.
Recently srumors have been heard
about the streets that the Citizens
company was to pass under a new
ownership, but these reports are
strenuoss1y denied by people inter
ested il. the company, and it is
claimed that the company will not be
sold unless to local corporation.
The tight in the courts will be
watched with great deal of interest
by the people of the city.

TO SUE MANY PEOPLE
Henry Wiesman of Brighton Will Bring
Suit With 90 Defendants

Henry Wiesman of Brighton Will Bring
Suit With 90 Defendants
Attorney Henry Wiesman, of Brigh-
ton, was IN Racine Saturday after
noon looking up court records with
view of carrying cases in which he is
interested to the Supreme court. One
of them is that of Wiesman against
Donald.
Mr.. Wiesman incidentally mentioned
to press representative that he was
working on one of the most interest
ing and sensational suits of his life;
that when the papers were filed there
would be a sensation throughout
southern Wisconsin.
"There will be ninety eight de-
PENDANTS in the suit, said Mr.. Wies-
man. ''Some of them are the most
prominent farmers in Racine and Ke-
nosta counties. will charge them
with conspiracy and demand heavy
damages, perhaps $500 in all.
Mr.. Wiesman claims that these
men made an effort to railroad him to
an insane asylum. This was brought
about, so ne claims, because he had
claims against many for legal ser
vices and was commencing suits to
recover the amounts.
At one time Mr.. Wiesman was an
attorney of Union Grove. He handled
nearly all of the legal business in that
section of the county, especially the
settlement of estates. There is no
doubt but that he made considerable
money. One day he disappeared from
the village and it was supposed that
he persisted in the open fields of the
country.
Perhaps two months after he was
found at the Chicago & Northwestern
railway depot in Racine. In his pos
session was a satchel containing over
81, 900 in money and securities. Efforts
to ascertain where he had been failed.
At the time he was sent to a private
asylum for rest and when he came out
was considered az n hit.
Then his r1ents condition was later
examined ana Judge S1osson, after
doctors reported him insane, COM
n1itted him to an asylum, but he was
never sent up, demanding a jury trial
which he never secured.

assessors Report Shows Kenosha Factories
are Steadily Increasing Their Holdings.
The assessors of the city will COM
plete tomorrow the assessing of the
personal property of the different in
dustria1 plants in the city and their
report will show that the factories in
kenosha are enjoying steady
growth. Not a few of the factories
have been left at the same figure on
the assessment books and only one of
them has asked that the amount as
sessed against it be reduced. One of
the factories shows an increase in
assessed valuation of property of fifty
four thousand dollars, while others
show ten to twenty thousand dol
lar increase.
The managers of the factories have
done all in their power this year to
assist the assessors in their work of
making the valuations.

GAS STOVE EXPLoDEs

Mrs Ellen Foster Narrowly Escapes Injury
at Her Home on Rowland Avenue
Mrs. Ellen Foster narrowly esca ped
being seriously injured at her home
on Rowland avenue just after noon on
Sunday by the explosion of a gas
stove. Mrs. Foster had been arrane-
ing to bake cake and had opened
the door to the oven of the stove to
light the gas. Just as she touched
the match to the burner there was an
explosion and the stove was broken
into half hundred pieces. In some
miraculous manner Mrs. Foster. who
was directly in front of the stove, es-
capped uninjured.
1t is thought that the gas in the
stove had been left turned on for some
time and the oven had been filled
with gas.

4 A NOTABLE FAMILY.
Fink Family of Racine and Kenosha Coun-
ties Noted for Long Life of Members,


Racine and Kenosha counties con-
tain the most remarkable family in
the entire northwest. There are two
sets of generations. It is the family
Of James Fink. They embrace: J ames
Fink of Somers, Kenosha county, 90
years old, born in New York state and
a resident of Kenosha county fifty
eight years. In the early days he sold
wagons, hauling them through Illinois
with an OK team. Next is his son,
Charles E. Fink, aged 40, born in
Somers, a resident of that place all
his. life. The third is Mrs. A. H. Van
Vie of Racine, aged Is, and his
daughter, born in Mount Pleasant,
Racine county. Her son, Ade1bert
Van Vie, aged 81 years, is next.
In the second set, are: Mrs. C. E.
Fink, 48 years old, wife of C. E. Fink,
born in Mount Pleasant; second, her
father, James Buckley, Mount Pleas
ant, aged 80, born in England; third,
Mrs. A. H.Van VIE, daughter of Mrs.
Fink, and her son, Ade1bert.
All of the eight are living and in
perfect health. Belief prevails that
they are the only family with SINH
lar record in the northwest.

Notes of the Game.

Murphy is getting back on the line
Sunday were like the old time form.
Murf is one of the best hitters on the
team, but he has been a little out of
it for couple of weeks.
Tinda11 is certainly a great favo-
rite with the Kenosha fans and while
they may not agree with some of the
decisions, they are all anxious to see
him keep right at it in Kenosha until
the season is over.
Busber was lucky find for Rreen,
and he promises to make one of the
fastest pitchers ever signed with Keno
sha. He is a good hitter when he
gets going and his work in the box is
equal to any of the semi-professiona1s
Racine won an easy game from the
Marquettes Sunday, shutting them
out by a score of three to nothing.
The dispatches from Racine state
that the team is now ready to meet
any team in the country. Whoopee!
for one game winner, Johnson is
getting strong. He probably never
heard the story of the little boy who
fell down.
Manager Breen is..making arrange
ment for series with the Racine
team and it may begin with the last
Sunday in July. Racine isn't very
anxious to play, but the Racine man
agement needs the money more than
it does the glory.

LOOKING OVER FLOODED LINES.
Missouri Pacific Is Checking Up the
Damage.

Russell Harding, third vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad. has been max
ing a tour of inspection over the lines
of the Missouri Pacific in southern
Kansas, which are included in the
flooded district. He spent some time
at Wichita and Coffeyville. Wichita
is interested in Mr.. Harding, inasmuch
as it is expected that some additional
shops are about to be erected and in
all probability located at Wichita.
In connection with Mr.. Harding's
visit to Kansas a rumor has begun
floating around to the effect that Mr..
Harding will soon resign his position
with the Missouri Pacific to accept the
presidency of the Wabash. another
Gould line
The suspicion that there was to be
a change dates back to the time a few
weeks ago when officers were elected
by the Denver & Rio Grande railroad.
Mr.. Harding was general manager of
this road and it was quite a surprise
ing practically to a resignation. Now
it is reported from many good sources
that in the immediate future Mr..
Harding will resign his office with the
Missouri Pacific and Will be elected
president of another Gould road. in
all probability the Wabash. His place
as third vice president and general
manager of the Missouri Pacific. it is
said, will be filled by L. S. Thorne. at
present general manager of the Texas
& Pacific railroad.
