been labeled Joe Miller's Joke Book. "
He was a great favorite OF President
Cleveland, and of all of Cleveland S
intimate advisers. He represents that
element in West Virginia democracy
and it was thought that his character
and political probity would win him
the democratic nomination in his home
district, but those who believe in more
practical methods than he were sue
cessful. The average West Virginia
politician does not believe in handing
nominations to men ION silver plat
ters."
When Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Miller
were in office in Washington they were
boon companions on many fishing
trip. The waters of the Potomac above
the capital city are famous for the
small mouth bass. Few of the Potomac
fishermen were better acquainted with
the haunts of this fish than President
Cleveland and Commissioner Miller
and in the spring and fall months,
when the fish are biting freely, these
two would slip off quietly, engage ma
tive boatmen and enjoy the sport to
the fullest extent. There was great
rivalry among the newspaper CORE
spondents in securing stories of these
fishing jaunts, but both of the dis
tinguished sportsmen were usually ret
icent as to the size of their catch. On
one occasion a local paper, after de-
scribing the outing Of the officials, gave
the result Of the days fishing as %
bass.
well, we will let it 60 at that, "
1aughingly said Mr.. Miller, when he
read the article, "the only discrep-
ancy lies in the placing of the figures.
I caught two and the president caught
three bass; so that will make % if you
place the figures alongside each other. !"

AID FOR OR JOHN CASTER
Decision Of The Supreme Court in Ger
tiorari Case May Give Him New
Lease OF Liberty.
CASE TO HAVE ANOTHER TRIAL,
Attorney Ingalls, Will Take the Case to the
Supreme Court Again Before Caster
is Arraigned.

Attorney Wallace ingalls,, who has
represented John Caster in the famous
Doodle case which has been before the
courts of the county and State for the
past two or three years, has found a
new lease Of life for his client in the
case, and this new lease makes it very
improbable that the case Of the State
VS.. Caster will be tried at the coming
March term of the Circuit Court.
The hope of the Attorney for the &C.
cused man is based on decision of
the Supreme Court which was handed
down Wednesday, in which the Court
held that the Circuit Court may not re-
view the errors made by Court Com
missioner when taken before him on a
writ of certiorari.
This is what has been urged by At
torney ingalls, in regard to the habeas
corpus actiousin the Caster case, and
while he at one time lost out in the
Supreme Court, he seems to now be Of
the opinion that the case would be de-
cided in his favor. When the matter
was laid before the Court, just pre-
vious to the recent trial of Caster, the
motion of Attorney Ingalls, for new
hearing of the matter was denied with
out prejudice, and he was given the
right to bring up the matter at any
time.
The decision Of the Supreme Court
as handed down on Monday is directly
in keeping with the conditions which
governed in the Caster case, with the
exception that the matter in issue in
the case decided was civil action,
while in the Caster matter the issue
was criminal one.
Mr.. Ingalls, was in the city for few
minutes this morning, and in speaking
of the matter he stated that he had
planned to give the case another trial
in the Supreme Court, but that he was
not depending on this county to re-
lease Caster from custody. He stated
that he thought on another trial Gas
ter would be acquitted of the charges
against him.
| It has been limited by people who are
pretty close to the former Alderman
that Caster is now willing to tell all he
knows of the Doodle cases If he is as
sured immunity from punishment. It
is evident that Caster would not be SO
great a fool as to patiently bear the
fault of the alleged boodling and allow
all the others who are alleged to have
profted by the deals to go free.
Gustav L. C1ausen, who was con.
nected with the case, has been fitting
about Kenosha for some time, and
stories are told of nightly visits to the
city. The warrant for the arrest Of
Mr.. Clausen is still in the hands of the
District Attorney, and if chance tc
serve it presents itself Clausen will
undoubtedly be landed.

SEEK BODIES HERE
Remains OF Three Men Drowned OF
South Chicago Sought for at
This Port by Friends
! LARGE REWARD IS OFFERED.

The members Of the Kenosha Police
force and the Kenosha Life Saving
Station have been asked to search for
the bodies of Swan M. Rundquist,
Gust Ekstrom and George Messenger,
three hunters from Harvey, ILL.,, who
were drowned in the Lake off South
Chicago on the afternoon of Dec. 20.
The three men had been hunting IN an
open boat and went down in the sight
of large number of people. Every
possible effort has been made to recov-
er the remains and it has been decided
to make search at every port along
the west shore of the lake. At the
time of the accident strong wind was
blowing from the northeast and it is
thought that the bodies were carried
across the lake For this reason the
men Interested seem to believe that the
remains will possibly be found in the
neig borhood of Kenosha. The men
along the beach have been keeping a
close watch for hoaters for several
days past and the best Of the Harvey
officials has stimulate the search. The
officers at Harvey have offered re-
ward Of hundred dollars for the re-
covery of the bodies of the men.
| The men were among the best known
young men of Harvey and they had
gone to South Chicago on the day of
the accident to shoot ducks in the lake.
All of them were members of good
families and it is stated that at the
time they were drowned each of the
men had large amount of money on
his person. Ekstrom is known to have
had $3.50 in cash while it is claimed
that Rundquist had even larger sum.
It is thought that this money will be
recovered if the bodies can be found.
| The fact that the bodies have been in
the lake for SO long time seems to
lead the marine men to believe that
they have foated far from the scene
Of the accident and for this reason the
special search is being made along the
shore at this point.

a UNIFORM SYSTEM.
County Board Authorizes County Superin-
tendent to Adopt New Registers.

County Board Authorizes County Superin-
tendent to Adopt New Registers.
Tie County Board signalized the
closing Of he January session We'd
nesday afternoon by authorizing the
County superintendent of Schools to
establish new system of registers for
use in all the schools of the county.
Superin tendent Taylor will establish
the new system at once and after the
next month the schools of Kenosha
county will have perfect system of
registration. The system that is to be
adopted is one of the finest ever
brought before the educational world
and 1t will not only simplify the duties
Of teachers in the county but It will be
of great value in determining the ex-
act work that is being done by every
pupil in the schools. The registration
system consists of number of books
costing for the different schools in the
county about hundred dollars. This
one series of books will last the county
for fully ten years. The main guide
to the books is kept in the Office of the
County Superintendent and each
month the reports Of the teachers are
added to this reference work. So COM
plete is the system that at the end of
the month the County Superintendent
will be able to tell just what each stud
ent has done for every day in the
month. Their value to the teachers
will be equally as great for with the
changes OF teachers in the different
country schools the records that have
been prepared will show the work that
has been done by each teacher and it
will not be necessary for the teachers
to go over ground a second time. For
many years the registry system in the
schools has been unsatisfactory but
the change authorized by the board
will make the system in this county
second to none in the state.
The Board took no action in regard
to making contract with the Kenosha
Hospital for the care of the patients
dependent on the county and it is
probable that they will still continue to
be sent to Chicago.

ZION FIGHTS THE TRUST.

Goods From Zion Bakeries Being Sold at a
Rate too Low for Competition.
DR.. John Alexander Dowie who has
the greatest religious trust sincesthe
days of Mahomet, the prophet, has
appeared in new role as a fighter of
trusts and combines. Agents of the
Zion City baking industries have been
placed on the road and the Zion cakes
and crackers are being sold at a price
so low that it is almost impossible for
the trust to compete with the prices
and it now looks as if Dowie would in
short time have firm hold on this
business in the cities about Chicago.
The cakes made in Dowie's bakeries
are being sold in Kenosha at price
FIVE cents lower than the same sort Of
goods made by the American Biscuit
Company and the demand for them is
increasing every day. The goods are
a little short Of shortening but even at
this many people in the city claim that
they are better than the biscuits sent
out by the trust.

Gentlemen-T Through an error my
name has appeared in the press as one
of the gentlemen who signed the adj
dress to the Republicans of Wisconsin
urging the candidacy of Judge Baensch
for the nomination of governor at the
next state convention.
1t is unfortunate that this mistake
has occurred, as did not subscribe to
the address, and am not to serve on
the committee in any capacity what
ever.
/ take this occasion to state, how
ever, that, like many Republicans and
business men of this state, shall wei.
come the nomination of such man as
Mr.. Baensch and feel it will be con.

one for the party. / am advised that he
is man of excellent character and
capacity and believe that if elected he
will prove an upright, efficient and
deccrous executive.
Yours respectfully,
