JAPS SEEM VICTORS
after TERRIFIC FIGHT
ELOPEMENT is REPORTED
OF ANOTHER PRINCESS
Veillance in Saxony, is
Missing.

Vienna, Sept. IA sensation was
created here over the reported disap-
pearance of Princess Louise of Co
burg, daughter OF King Leopold of Bel
gium, from Elsler in Saxony, where
she has been taking the waters for a
fortnight. Her absence was discover
ed yesterday when it was found that
she had escaped by a window from
her residence. 1t is believed the prin-
cess has been abducted by Lieut.. Mat
tachich, the former officer of the Aus
trian army with whom she eloped
some time ago.
Mattachich's intrigue with the prin-
cess caused her husband to have her
detained in a private asylum. Malta
chich has already attempted to abb
duct the princess from a Dresden san
itarium, where she had been detained.

THE ice cutting season is approach
ing, and the big employment agencies
in Chicago are already on the lookout
for men to work in the ice fields in
this county. There is always short
age of men when the rush is on, and
naturally the big agencies are not
any too particular where the men
come from. Any man that looks
husky enough to stand the work is
good enough for them. This influx
of the fotsam and jetsam of great
city, gathered from God knows where,
and herded together like flock Of
sheep, is always serious menace to
the public health, and it would be i'm
possible to over-estimate the danger
of an outbreak of contagious disease
among them. They are generally
closely watched, but the presence of
smallpox in the most viru1ent, form in
Chicago, where most of them are re-
cruited, calls for additional vigilance
on the part of the health authorities
of the county this year. Every gang
coming into the county should be
carefully inspected and every man
vaccinated, and any suspicious cases
sent back Immediately. The county
can not afford to take any chances,
even if the big ice companies can, and
every possible precaution must be
taken to prevent an outbreak of con-
tagious disease. The most unceasing
vigilance of the health officers will
not make the situation any too safe.

ISAAC STEPHENSON has at last come
out with fiat footed denial that he
gave Lincoln Stefens the information
upon which the charge made in Nc
Cures Magazine that the first cleo
ton of Senator Spooner was brought
about by the use of money, was based.
Steffens gave Stephenson as his au-
thority. Of course the fair thing and
the manly thing to do would have
been for Stephenson to deny the story
the minute it made it's appearance and
while the magazines were being cir
cu1ated as campaign document in
this state, but this be1ated denial is
better than nothing and clearly shows
that the article in question was writ
ten as campaign document and
nothing else.

Robert Allen, Touring FIoWery
Kingdom, Writes Of His
Experiences There.
A HOME OF LUXURY AND EASE
Kenosha Boy to Study Wrestling I'm
der Tutorage of Famous Japanese
Wrest1ers.-Inter Letter.

Everybody is interested in Japan at
the present time, and Kenosha people
will be greatly interested in the fol
lowing extracts from letter from
Robert Allen, of this city, who is
touring "The F1owery Kingdom. .
Here are some of the stories told by
Mr.. Allen of life in Japan:
"This is great country for sight
seeing, but would hate to have to
live here. l will not try and describe
what I have seen in detail, as you can
find all that in books, butSwil1 give
my general impressions.
The striking feature of thesscountry,
or the one that impresses me most, is
the small scale upon which things are
built. It constantly makes me feel
that am in Toy1and of some fairy
story; the houses remind me of large
doll houses. The doors through the
sides of the housesDand the gates in
the fences are not over four feet high.
The rooms are nots'more than seven or
eight feet square and everything looks
as though made for little children.
The stoves are only tiny affairs for
warming the hands and they never
make any attempt to heat the rooms.
They have no furniture at all, every
one sits on the floor. The streets are
narrow and every person you meet is
pulling, pushing, or carrying some
thing. Nine-tenths of the women
have small babies tied on their backs.
| never saw halt so many babies and
small children before in my life. Lit
tie girls of 5 years or younger will
have a baby five or six weeks old
strapped on their backs; the girls
could not have weighed more than
thirty-five pounds and the babies
looked but little smaller. I have seen
American children 8 years old as large
as these little girls. There is no ex-
aggeration about this, as I am not
speaking of special cases, have seen
dozens of such every day, and the
guide assured me it was the habit Of
these children at that age.
The physical condition of these
people is beautiful. I have taken
special notice and have not seen
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1904-12-08

all parts of the world. There were
idols, gods, &C., from Thibet, China,
Egypt and Japan that were twelv
hundred years old and absolutely
priceless. Some of them were at the
Paris exposition. have never seen a
finer collection of curios in any public
museum. He showed me one small
piece of wood carving that cost him
$1,000, and that was only one of hun
dreds. It is worth trip to Japan to
see hlsshouse, museum and grounds.
Of course am only describing a hun
dredth part of what saw. It all re-
minded me of tales from the Arabian
Nights.
I am going to get a jin-jutsu teacher
and begin taking lessons soon; it is
japanese wrestling, you know.

Only One Candidate at the Recent
General Election Has Filed
His Election Expenses
CLAIM LAW is A DEAD LETTER
Investigations of Other Elections Show
That Many Candidates Refused to
File Schedules of Expenses

Politicians in Kenosha County de-
clare that the law requiring candi-
dates for Office to file an account of
their expenses during the campaign
is dead letter and it is evident that
this belief is general as only one so1i-
tary candidate for Office has filed
schedule of his expenses and .as it
stands today the campaign in Kenosha
County cost less than FIVE dollars.
Joseph ]. Ortiz one of the candi-
dates on the Social Democratic ticket
is the only man that has obeyed the
law and his account shows that he
spent practically nothing.
From private estimates is is learned
that the campaign in Kenosha County
cost the candidates and the leaders of
the different parties interested from
i've to ten thousand dollars but none
OF these expenses has been made
public. None of tn chairmen of coun-
ty committees and none of the officials
OF the political clubs has sent any
notice OF their expenses to the regis
ter Of deeds and it is very probable
that most of these men will decline to
take such action.
An examination of the records of
other elections shows that the cardi-
dates have repeatedly ignored this
law in Kenosha county. At the last
general election less than two-thirds
of the candidates filed expense &C
counts and no action was taken by
the county or state officials to force
these men to show up their expenses.
The contributors made by the
candidates to campaign funds were
larger than in other years and ranged
from twenty to two and three hundred
dollars. Added to the sum raised
from the candidates large sums were
paid into the Kenosha fund by candi-
dates for state and congressional
positions.
For the first time in many years
Kenosha county got a pretty good
slice of the money contributed for the
state campaign and it was kept work
ing at all times.

STILL SEEKING LYNCH.


Efforts Being Made to Locate Missing
Heir to Estate of William Lynch.
Efforts are still being made to To-
cate John Lynch, the missing Keno
sha man who was one of the heirs to
the estate of the late William Lynch,
and although the search has been
continued for more than two years,
no trace of the man has been found.
The relatives of Lynch evidently be-
1ieve that he is still alive as no move
has been made to have the County
court declare him legally dead and the
small Inheritance left for him by the
will of his father is still in the hands
of the executor of the estate.

THE dairy men are going to have a
big fight on their hands in the next
congress to prevent the passage of an
amendment to the existing law chang
ing the rate of tax on o1eomargarine.
But in we'll informed circles in Wash
ington it is believed that the present
law will stand. The law has put
millions into the pockets of the farm
ers and the representatives in con-
gress of agricultural districts will be
made to see the folly of their ways in
short order if they attempt to touch it.

three people who were too fat or too
thin since have been in Japan.
There are practically no horses;
men do all the work of draft animals,
and the rikisha men are wonderful.
One of them pulled me fourteen miles
this week, with only a twenty minute
rest at the end of seven miles, and he
did not walk fifty yards in the whole
distance, and then only up very steep
bridges. He kept up a good stiff jog
all the time and ran the first seven
miles IN little less than fifty min
utes, pulling me up hill midtown, and
I am no feather. weight. An old gen.
t1eman from Baltimore, who easily
weighed 240 pounds, was taking the
same trip, and his man kept right up
with mine all the time. Neither of
these rikisha men weighed over 14O
pounds. This was about 10 clock at
night and both of these men had been
pulling people around since early
morning and could not have run less
than thirty-fve or forty miles during
at O'Clock the next morning, so you
see he did not lie abeds late. He
charged me so cents our money for
pulling me the fourteen miles, and
they will take you to any place one
mile from the hotel and back for ten
cents our money; cheap for two
mile ride, isn't it? I have not seen a
rikisha man walking with a passen-
ger, except up hill, since have been
here.
I have enjoyed the trim very much
SO far. What do not LIE about this
country is that there areNno woods or
wild stretches to speak of. Every
inch seems to be cultivated, with the
exception of little strip of trees back
of some of the houses of foreigners.
Today was the Emperor birthday

showed me his sleeping room. He had
a brass bed and the spindles at the

It was covered with a wine-co1ored
