No open opposition to the re-e1ec.

No open opposition to the re-elec-
ton of Judge S1osson as county judge
has as yet developed, and we hope
there will be no opposition of any kind
whatever. 1t is true that he is not a
lawyer, but his record as judge shows
that he knows as much law as many a
man who sports a diploma, and his
wise counsel has often persuaded an
CRY heirs from indulging in expensive
litigation. His decisions have been
sustained by the higher courts in
nearly every instance where they
have been questioned, but it has al
ways been his aim to make an annie
able settlement of all differences aris-
ing in his court if possible. His rec
ords are perfectly kept and the pro-
bate business of the county is safe in
his hands. The people would do we'll
to continue him as judge as long as
he wants the office.

KENosHA is not trying to "ho1d up.
any railway company seeking en-
trance to the city, neither does the
city propose to be held up by any com
pany. Any seeker after franchise
who comes with fair proposition
will receive every consideration and
be treated with fairness and liberal

in the beginning that a franchise

Wannamaker and Schumacher
Released.
(From Mondays daily


Charles Wannamaker and N. ].
Schurna cher, two of the men arrested
on Saturday afternoonsfor the murder
of John Wren, have been released
from jail. Wannamaker was released
on Saturday afternoon after he had
made statement to the district attor-
ney in which it was clearly shown
that he was in no way connected with
the case. Furthermore he offered to
be at the call of the district attorney
at any time and he was allowed to go
on his own recognizance. Schu-
macher was forced to remain in jail
Saturday night and most of the Sun
day. On Sunday afternoon he,made
statement to the district attorney and
as a result of this statement he was
allowed to return to his home in the
custody of Deputy Sheriff MUTT. The
deputy has orders to remain in the
presence of Schumacher at all times
and it is understood that his release
from jail is only temporary one and
that he will be returned to be present
at the hearing on Feb. z.
Neither of the attorneys in the case
has seen fit to make public the state
ments made by Schumacher but men
about the jail state that Schumacher
'scoughed up"
This morning the father-in-1aw of
Douglas Barhyte, one of the accused
men, came to Kenosha and had a con-
ference with the district attorney to
see what could be done to secure the
release of Barhyte. The man was
given no encouragement and was told
that none of the men would be re-
leased until the murder Of Wren had
been cleared up.
The arrest of the quintette of sus-
poets has not put an end to the inves-
tigation into the crime and more wit
nesses are expected either this after
noon or tomorrow morning. 1t is I'M
derstood that Schumacher was re-
leased with the understanding that he
kWas to aid the district attorney in
hunting up some of the witnesses
who are wanted.
1t is stated that the revelations
made at the investigation may result
in the officers of Salem being asked to
close the Schumacher saloon. It is
one of the old time saloons in Salem.

THE indications are that there is
going to be grand rush among the
suspects in the Wren murder case to
to turn states evidence, but even if
some of the men now under arrest do
succeed in clearing themselves of any
connection with the actual murder,
they ought not to go scot free. If
some of them had been as eager to
tell the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, before the coroner's jury,
as they apparently are now, the dis
trict attorney would have been saved
endless trouble and the county con-
siderable expense, and the murderer
of Wren would have been behind the
bars within twenty-four hours after
the crime was committed. There is a
law to punish man who enters into a
conspiracy to conceal crime and to
protect the real criminals by refusing
to testify against them, and if it has
been necessary to guarantee some of
the witnesses for the state immunity
from punishment as accessories after
the act, it might be possible to con-
vict them of the lesser crime of per-
jury, using their testimony given at
the investigation and before the coro-
ner's jury as the evidence against
them. It looks as if there was con
spiracy to get everybody clear in this
case, which only failed because, some
of the men who were in it weakened
at the last minute, and if any man
was party to such criminal alliance
he ought not to go clear of the law,
whether he has had the luck to be the
one selected by the district attorney t.
turn states evidence or not. ae.

THE ice cutting season in the county

either of disease or labor trouble
among the men. The employers fore

A GOOD deal of sympathy has been
felt for the rural mail carriers, but it
appears that most of it was wasted.
One of the carriers resigned the other
day and there are eleven applicants
for his job. A place that so many
men are eager to get must be desir-
able one in many ways, and the pub
lie hereafter can sympathize with the
men who tried for places and did not
get them instead of with the carriers.

THE authorities have finally made a
move in the Wren murder case and
six men are now under arrest charged
with the crime. The fact that the
authorities delayed nearly a month be-
fore taking any action in the case is
being criticised in some quarters, but
it is the belief of the district attorney
that the state has lost nothing by
waiting. A careful investigation into
all the circumstances surrounding the
murder has been going on all the
time, and the public would do we'll to
refrain from criticising the work of
the authorities until the evidence
against the accused men is brought
out at their trial

IT will be some time before the his
tory of the Russian revolt is known.
Such of the Russian papers as have
been allowed to resume publication
are printing no accounts of the events
of the past week, holding that if they
are not to be allowed to print the
whole truth, it is better not to print
anything, and as all the dispatches
sent by the correspondents are CEN
sored by the government, the world
will have to await the escape of the
correspondents from "ho1y Russia"
before it can read the story of the mas
sacre.

ment was not sufficient to secure his
release and he was returned to jail
just before noon. The district attor-
ney has not made public the state
ment made by Bolton and it is stated
that these statements are not to be
made public but will be held as por-
ton of the evidence of the investiga-
ton. Bolton was at the saloon during
the entire evening of the murder but
it is intimated among his friends that
he was so drunk at the time that it
would be impossible for him to give
any clear statements of the events of
the day. It is alleged that some of
the men accused have attempted to
place the blame for the murder on the
shoulders of the old man but no evil
dence that has been made public
would warrant such statements.
Bolton was the only person to give
testimony in the case today as
Deputy Sheriff Mutz had not brought
in any new witnesses up to 2 O'Clock
and it is probable that none will be
brought in until tomorrow or Thurs
day.
Schumacher is still in Salem under
the watchfu1 care of the deputy, and
it is insisted that he is assisting the
district attorney in seeking evidence
in regard to the crime. The district
attorney seemed surprised to learn
that the release of Schumacher had
been known to the general public and
it is supposed that his release was to
have been held state. secret pending
the completion of the investigation.

MOURN THEIR DEAD.
People of Zion City Turn Out to
Pay Tribute to Mrs. Speicher
and Col. Carl Stern.
DOUBLE FUNERAL WAS HELD,

Seven thousand people gathered at
the Shiloh Tabernacle at Zion City on
Sunday afternoon to pay last tribute
of respect to the memory of Mrs. Mary
Speicher, wife of Overseer John G..
Speicher, and Carl F. Stern, head of
the Zion Guards and former chief of
police of Zion. 1t was one of the
greatest gatherings of Zionists IN the
history of the city. Colonel Stern
died on Wednesday of last week, and
Mrs. Speicher died on Friday after
noon. The two were both we'll known
in Zion.
Mrs. Speicher bore the title of the
second woman in Zion and it is claim
ed that she was more universally be-
loved than any other woman in the
city. The funeral was a great dis
play of the love which the people Of
the city bore for their dead. Yet it
was devoid of pomp and ceremony.
The services we're under the direction
General Overseer Dowie is now with
his sick wife in the Bahama Islands.
While the two overseers read the fun
era1 service the entire Zion Guard
stood about the casket of their chief
while the members of the Zion robed
choir, of which Mrs. Speicher had
been a leader stood with bowed heads
about the casket of the well beloved
woman.
The death of Mrs. Speicher was
great triumph for the teachings Of
Dowie in Zion. She had been,i1l only
short time when death came and
Notwithstanding the fact that DR..
Speicher had previously been a!prac-
ticing physician he did not ask that
she be given medicine. Her death in
the faith, when it was known that
her husband had been physician,
has done much to strengthen the be-
lief of the people of the city.
In speaking of Mrs. Speicher's re-
fusa1 to take medical aid during the
last stages of her illness one of the
leaders of Zion said after the funeral:
"She was true to the last and never
uttered a word of complaint. She
never asked for medicinesbut trusted
entirely to God and Dowie. Her hus-
band was at her side when she died
and of course he never expressed
a desire to have medical attention for
the dying woman. Her death was
sweet and it showed sthat she had
faith in the doctrines.to'the last. +"
Mrs. Speicher was buried IN the
new Mt. O1ivet cemetery, while the
remains of Colonel Stern were laid
to rest in the old Benton cemetery,
which is just on the borders of Zion.

THE recent decision of the Supreme
Court is a body blow for the beef
trust. From the evidence brought
out in the suits started by the govern
ment, it appears that the beef COM
bine is a criminal trust" if there
ever was one, and the decision Of the
court is great victory for the admin
istration. This trust has b1ed both
the consumer and the producer
shame1essly, but it's days are num-
bered, and other trials with graver

bine personally are sure to follow any
attempt of the packers to do business

DIES PRAIsING DOWIE.
Elder Martin hayden Who was Struck
by Train Dies Death of Martyr.


Trusting to the, last in the power of
Zion officials to cure him, Elder
Martin Mayden, who was struck by a
North Western train Monday after
noon at Zion City, died Tuesday after
repeatedly refusing offers of aid
from the railroad company and DR.. E.
c. Knight of Waukegan, who was
sent on special train to attend him.
With Overseer Speicher and other
officers praying over him the victim
gave up his life praising Dowie and
the doctrines of Zion.
FGod attends to all such things and
we will not require medical aid" said
Overseer Speicher to DR.. Knight, and
the victim agreed with him, even re
fusing to allow the doctor to set the
dis1ocated hip, which panied him
greatly. The only thing that the
Zion people did beside praying was
to bandage the victims arm, which
had a compound fracture.
The coroner's office has been Motif
ed and will hold an inquest, though,
according to precedent, there will
probably be no question as to the
lack of medical attention. Asked if
the man would have lived had he re
ceived surgical aid, DIR. Knight said:
His age, o6years, was against.him
but | would say that he stood good
chance of living had he been given
1 the proper attention -

Modern history tells of moments in our own story almost as exciting as those now being witnessed in Russia. Wellington once declared that the most exciting moment of his life was not in any of his great battles, but that in which he had to forbid William the Fourth to attend a public banquet in the city during time of great national excitement. Of the millions of people who every year see our houses of par liament, how many imagine that their position was determined by strategic considerations? No one nowadays can think of the Palace of Westmin- ster i any other position than that which 1t occupies. But when the old houses were burned down, and the task of rebuilding faced, there was 8 propo- sition to esta blish them on or near the cite of St. James Palace. Wellington resolutely put dawn his foot on the proposal. .. !,

You must build your houses of parliament upon the river, SO that the means of ingress and egress are safe and that the populace cannot exact their demands by sitting down around you" Sir William Fraser in whose memoirs the story is recalled, mentioned it to Napoleon the Third just before the death of the latter. What wisdom' he said, "what wisdom" and it set him musing upon the different turn which the history of France might have taken if, in other ways as great precautions had been observed in his own case.--SE.
