John H. Corcoran Seeks Appoint
ment as Clerk Of Court to
Succeed ]. B. Maloney.
COMMITTEE CHOOSES WALDO.
The County Committee Notifies Judge
Be1den That Frank Waldo, of Bris-
to1, is the Candidate of Repub-
licans for the Office.

John III. Corcoran has appeared as
slate of the LaFo1lette wing of the
Republican party, and notwithstand-
| ing the fact that Frank Waldo has
been recommended as the proper man
to be named to succeed John B. Ma
1oney as clerk of the circuit court,
Mr.. Corcoran has sent an application
to Judge Belden seeking the position.
Added to this is the fact that Mr..
Corcoran accompanied his applica-
ton with petition showing that he
was backed by some of the best men
in both the Democratic and Republican
parties in the county. The appoint
rnent has not as yet been made, but it
is probable that it will be made DUR
ing the present month, and probably
during the coming March term of the
circuit court.
Mr.. Corcoran is one of the best
known men in the county. He is now
in the abstract and real estate bust
ness, having an Office with James
Cavanagh, the we'll known attorney.
Mr.. Corcoran has filled the office of
clerk of the circuit court, having
been elected to the Office on the Demo
cratic ticket many years ago. He was
one of the best officials ever elected in
the county.
It is an open secret that during the
last general campaign Mr.. Corcoran
appeared as an open supporter of
Governor LaFo1lette and the men
urging his election, and for this rea-
son it is thought that Mr.. Corcoran
bwi11 stand a splendid chance of secur-
ing the appointment at the hands of
Judge Be1den.
| As soon as it was learned that Mr..
Ma1oney had been named to succeed
Captain Frantz as postmaster of Ke-
sha, Judge Be1den sent letter to the
Republican county committee, asking
that the committee name man to
succeed Mr.. Ma1oney. The commit
Itee promptly forwarded to Judge Bel
i len a recommendation for the ap-
pointment. of Frank Waldo, of the
town of Bristol 1t is certain that
Judge Be1den will not be controlled
by any political ring id the making Of
the appointment, but he will name the
man who in his Judgment is best
suited for the position.
Mr.. Waldo is well known through
out the county, and it is evident that
he would be the choice of a najority
of the Republicans if politics is to en-
ter into the selection of clerk of the
circuit court.
The friends of Mr.. Corcoran, how
ever, will bring strong influence to
bear on Judge Belden to secure his
appointment, claiming that MI" Cor
coran's former experience in the Of
Ace makes him better qualified for
the appointment than the Bristol man.

Them of Tax on $500.
Officers of the Fred S. Lowell Post
G. A. r., have received circular let
ter calling attention to the fact that
Comrade S. N. Hawkins, past COM
mander Of Post No 1O3, located at
New Richmond, has been for some
time past gathering information per-
tanning to the relief granted unto vet
Grams by the several states in refer
ence to the exemption and taxation
on homesteads and the like, and as a
result of his 1abors bill has been IN
troduced in the senate by State Sena-
tor Frear, St. Croix county, exempt
ing the homestead of the veterans and
their widows from taxation, to the
amount of $500. Ali of the veterans
who have read the bill thus far APP
prove of it. The sender of the cir
cu1ar urges the Kenosha post to send
a communication approving of the
bill. The local post will probably
take some action at it's next meeting.

THE Noble bill, compelling the man
ufacturers of proprietary medicines TO
put the formula of the contents on the
label, is a fool measure, now before
the legislature, which ought to be
killed. It would damage the patent
medicine business of the state without
any corresponding benefit to any
body. Nine hundred and ninety-nine
purchasers out of a thousand would
not know anything more about the
contents after he had read the label
than he did before.

II is stated that the government is
facing a heavy deficit and there
seems to be a general disposition in
congress to attribute the deficit to
the heavy expenses for the navy and
to cut down the naval appropriation.
The most casual inspection of some
of the other appropriation bills, how
ever, is enough to convince any one
that there are several other places in
which the pruning knife could be
judicious1y applied and millions Of
dollars saved by the exercise of lit
tie economy.

CHILDREN IN FANCY DRESS.

Miss Irene Windsor and Ben Windsor,
Jr., Hosts at Charming Party.
One of the most Charming social
events ever given for the children of
Kenosha was the fancy dress party
given at the Guild hall Monday even
ing by Miss Irene Windsor and Ben
Windsor, children of Mr.. and Mrs. B.
F. Windsor. The party had been
looked forward to by the children as
the one event of the season and GER
tainly none of them were disap-
pointed.
The Guild hall was charming1y dec
Grated for the event, the big dance
hall being covered with a mass fdec-
orations in red and green. Palms
completely hid the stage and about the
room myriads of red hearts had been
hung up, making the decorations de-
-cidedly unique and beautiful.
Eighty of the best known of the lit
tie children of the city were present
at the party and all of them wore
charming costumes. Every nation
was represented in the jolly crowd of
children and some of the costumes
were exceedingly beautiful. The
grand march started at 7:30 and dane
ing continued until 10 o'clock.
At 10 o'clock refreshments were
served in the dining room, after
which the children were tucked into
the carriages and sent to their homes
to dream of the pleasures of the
evening.
