THE late county convention will be
a good thing for the candidates. A
nominee is expected to keep hustling
for himself and the ticket from the
time of the convention until election
day, but all any man who is seeking
office really needs is time enough to
go over the county thoroughly once.
He can see ali his personal friends
and win all the votes he is going to
get from the opposition on one trip,
and any more time that he puts IN
campaigning is only an added ex-
pense.

THE people of the South side will
thoroughly approve of President Ar
no1d's decision to extend the street
railway to the south limits of the city
without waiting for the through line
to decide when and where it wants to
come into the city. He evidently be-
lieves that the people of Kenosha are
entitled to complete service, and in
tends to give it to them without any
further delay. It is the intention of
the company to lay it's tracks when
the pavement is put down, and if
there is no delay in letting the con-
tracts for the paving and there should
be none-the south branch of the rail
way will be in operation before snow
flies. But for this decision of Presi-
dent Arnold not to wait on the through
lines there is no telling when the
people of the South side would have
had any service. The death Of Vo1ney
Foster has given the plans Of the
promoters of the through line a de-
cided setback, and it is hardly pos.
sib1e that the line connecting Kenosha
and Waukegan can be built this year.

GETS FINE COURSE
Y. c. a. Star Course for Coming Year
Best Ever Offered in Kenosha.

| .
Best Ever Offered in Kenosha.
| The committee in charge of the
| Y. M. c. A. Star Entertainment
Course has completed its investiga-
tons for the program for the coming
season and yesterday closed the con-
tract with the Redpath Lyceum Bureau
for the talent. The course chosen is
| the most original and unusual ever
mapped out for local patrons and can
not fail of large response. The course
| is evenly balanced throughout, every
number being of sufficient high grade
to appear on the largest and most ex-
pensive courses. It includes two of
the most popular concert companies,
probably the best a1l-round enter
tainer and cartoonist, an able imper-
senator and elocutionist, and lecture
of rare interest to all and especially
to the army of workers. The course
as outlined consists of:
Herbert Butler Concert Company,
October 81.
Alton Packard, November "A.
Temple Quartet Concert Company,
January 4.
Prof. Adrian Newens, January IA.
Geo. L. McNutt, February 10.
The opening concert will be given
by the Herbert Butler Concert Com
pany, the troupe consisting of Herbert
Butler, vio1inist; Clara Henley Bus
sing, soprano; Madame Wunder1e,
harpist, of the Theodore Thomas Or
chestra, and Alice Drake, pianist. The
troupe is equally pleasing in its popu-
lar and classical selections and will
give musical patrons choice concert.
Alton Packard, the cartoonist, is
the novelty of the course, being rated
| as the best one-rnan entertainer among
| the Lyceumites. He is equally gifted
as comedian, musician and cartoon
ist, and is placed constantly upon the
largest courses with sure success.
The third number will be the favor
tie Temple Male Quartet of Boston,
assisted by Catharine Cole, the reader.
Among male quartets, the Temples
have no superiors in America, the
Ou1y ORCA OdlC VI l41C11 w CS(SI Jul
being given to Kenosha.
To many, unusual interest will CEN
ter in the presentation of Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps masterpiece, "The
Singular Life" by Professor Newens,
of Iowa University. Professor New
ens>is rated as one of the coming inn
personators, and in this particular
reading is unsurpassed.
An equally attractive number will
be that of George L. McNutt, known
everywhere as .'the Dinner Pail Man"
Mr.. McNutt was formerly a Presby-
terrain minister, who resigned his pull
pit to live among working people, to
study labor problems and sociological
conditions. His lecture is start1ing1y
original and aims to remedy the great
dangers which confront the 1aboring
masses.
The Star Course will be conducted
along the usual lines, and the illus
trated folders for the public will be
issued within two weeks.

PECK IN HIGH FAVOR.

The nomination of George w. Peck,
of Milwaukee, as the Democratic can.
didate for governor of the state is en-.
tire1y satisfactory to the Democrats OF
the city, and the Kenosha Democrats
express themselves as highly pleased
with the work of the Oshkosh conven.
ton. Many of the Democrats would
havesbeen pleased to have seen the
primary election plank in the plat
form, but the older members of the
party were opposed to this action, and
the victory of the conservatives will
be popular one in Kenosha.

One Way to Prevent Divorce.

It has long been the opinion Of many
students of social questions that the
practical way to deal with the divorce
problem is to attack 1t at the marriage
end. In other words, the greatest
cause Of divorce is the laxity in per-
hitting hasty and i'll advised marriages.
There are no such safeguards thrown
about matrimony in the United States
as there are in England and many of
the older nations, and divorces are
much more frequent. That wedlock
is entered into with too much ease and
too little consideration is shown by a
recent case in New York. A man on
being arrested for bigamy admitted the
charge and said he ''clean forgot that
he had one wife when he married an
other. He was sent to a place where
he will have time to improve his mem
DRY, The story Of his second wife is
peculiarly illuminative She said:
met that man in Central park July O.
I was sitting on bench, and he came and
sat by me and began to talk. He had a
uniform on and seemed nice We visited
awhile, and then he asked me 10 marry
him. I was engaged to another man and
didn't think I ought to, but he teased and
threatened me till I said I would We
were married that night and lived to-
gether two days. Then he skipped out.
don't like him, anyway, and only married
him for fear he would kill me-
This is not an unusual instance. How
can we wonder that there are frequent
divorces when such marriages are pos
sfble?

and as day was breaking gave up the
struggle. Sulkins and Rockowitz were
nearly 100 miles behind the leaders.
The first instance of what is alleged
to be foul riding occurred this after
noon. Keegan of Lowell, Mass, was
the accused. and Chief Scorer Spooner
made a formal complaint to the ref
cree.
At the time Root was leading, with
Stol in second place. Keegan was
third. When the curve at Fourth ave-
nue. was reached it is alleged that Kee-
gan tried to push Stol against Roots
rear wheel and make him lose his
pace Root responded by making a
sensational sprint, gaining a half lap.
Stol, who had been thrown out of his
position, passed Keegan like a flash
and in one lap of the track caught
Root, showing the best sprint of the
week. The two leaders then settled
down to steady work again.
At 10 o'clock tonight the Wander
stuyft-Stol and Root-Dorlon teams,
which are leading, had 1897 miles z
laps to their credit. The scores of
the other teams ranged from 1897
miles. 8 laps. to l, 1896 miles, Q laps. The
record for the hour is 1878 miles.

APPEARED IN INFAMOUS
PUNISHMENT CASE

MacOn's City Attorney Prepared to
Appear Before the U. s. Supreme
Court.
Macon, Dec. 9.-City Attorney Min
ter Wimberly has prepared his appeal
from the federal court at Macon to
the United States Supreme Court in
the case of the habeas corpus proceed
ings by which Henry Jemison, a ne
gro, was liberated from the Bibb coun-
ty chaingang.
The case has attracted wide atten-
ton on account of the decision of
Judge Speer for the reason that the
decision if upheld will necessitate the
reorganization of municipal courts
which are trying offenses for which
prisoners can be consigned to I'm
famous" punishment. The principal
fight will be made against the juris-
diction of Judge Speer to try the case,
the objection of the city attorney be-
ing based upon the contention that the
necessary federal question was not
raised.

NEGRO ELEVENS FAILED
TO MAKE A GOAL.

Neither team was able to score in the
game of football at Bolton Street Park
yesterday afternoon between the For
est City team of Savannah and Claflin
University team.
In the crowd which witnessed the
game white people were in the MAORI
ty and were enthusiastic rooters for
the Savannah team, which appeared at
the commencement of the game, TO be
outclassed. To the average specta-
tor the game was slow and without
special incident, but to those who
know the game, 1t was highly amusing
to watch the repeated violations of all
football tactics and the heavy line
plunging of both teams. In these
scrimmages 1t was usually the fate of
the man with the ball to be up in
stead of going down. In the very first
scrimmage, when a Savannah half
back had the ball he was made the
center of twenty-one other pushing
and struggling men, until he was final
ly worked up to the top of the heap
and came very near getting away down
the field before he was discovered.

SOLDIERS ARE FIFTY PER CENT.
STRONGER THAN FORMERLY.
DAILY PRACTICES ON
BEACH GREAT Benefit.

Five New Men viii BE Seen in Uni
from Wednesday, and an idea of
the strength That Has Been De-
veIOped BY Both Teams Can BE
Obtained-SOIdiers are in Perfect
Condition and VIII Put Up Just
the Kind of Game Desired.
When the Fort Screven team lines
up against Savannah at Bolton Street
Park Wednesday afternoon it will be
nearly 80 per cent. stronger than when
it played against Savannah the last
time" says Lieut.. Winslow, who has
been working arduously to get the ar
tillerymen in line for the game of their
lives.
Capt. Cope said last night that this
was just the kind of game he wanted.
We want a team that will put it all
over us if possible" said Cope, and
the fiercer the soldiers play the bet
ter we will profit by the game. know
they are strong, and with the expert
ence they have had during the sea-
son they should make us the best kind
of game.
In the game Wednesday afternoon
Savannahians will have an opportun>
ity of seeing for the first time men
who will defend the colors on Christ
mas and New Year.
Five New Men.
Five new men have been added to
the practice squad, and three of these
are certain to play in the Christmas
game, with the possibility that all
will be in the game at one time or
another.
Sidney Stubs is the latest addition
to the team, and will probably play
Wednesday, If he gets into condition.
He has been practicing with the men
for the last few nights, and will be
a valuable addition. Strong, Seely,
Rossiter and Black are the other four
men who will be seen in uniform here
for the first time this season.
Secret Practices Nightly.
Secret practices are now being held
nightly, and no one will be admitted
to any of the practices between now
and Christmas. Capt. Cope has re-
quested all who have the interest of
the team at heart not to attend these
practices as 1t only impedes the work
in practice. There are also other rea-
sons why it is desired to have the
practices in secret.
The Fort Screven team is now prac-
ticing hard every day, two hours be-
ing spent each afternoon on the beach.
The soldiers have the advantage of
having a scrub team to play, and will
be in excellent shape for Wednesdays
battle. In the last game with Savan-
nah the artillerymen were badly bat
tered up from the Jacksonville game,
Jones, one of the best men on the
team, being unable to play with his
usual brilliancy.
The charges for the game will be
the same as that charged before, with
no extra charges for the grand stand.
1t is not so largely a matter of the,
gate money in these games as it is for
supporters of the team to turn out
and lend their moral support There is
considerable more inspiration in play
ing before a large crowd than before
a handful OF spectators.
