late F. L. Ellsworth as assistant
treasurer aud local manager of the
brass making plant. The action of
the directors was not unexpected, as
Mr.. Shearer had been appointed some
time ago to take up the work of Mr..
Ellsworth, and he was considered the
logical candidate for the high posi-
ton. Mr.. Shearer has been with the
company number of years, and is
well acquainted with the business and
the methods. His advancement wilt
be matter of great interest to his
friends in the city and in the county.
S. B. Terry another Kenosha man,

drawa1 of Charles F. BROKER of Tor
rington, Conn, as the president and

rington.
Secretary-A. C. Dallas of Chicago.
Assistant secretary-S. B. Terry of
Kenosha.
Assistant treasurer and general
manager of the Kenosha PANTHER
bert Shearer of Kenosha.

rectors ever held and the list present
included Charles F. BROKER, E. L.
Frisbie, "A. p. Hine, James A.
Doughty, F. B. Kent, ]. P. Elton, G.
E. Cole and c. E. Steele, all eastern
men who are interested in the COM
pany.
The directors came from Chicago
on an afternoon train and after the
meeting at the Office of the company
spent the rest of the afternoon in
specting the plant.
No final action was taken in regard
to the proposed extension of the plant
but some announcement in this regard
may be made later on.
Mr.. Shearer was seeh this morning
and stated that nothing was done at
the meeting which would be of in
terest to the public. The plans for
the new buildings if such are 10 be
built are still being withheld but it is
probable that some other announce
n1ent may be made before the end of
the summer.
The members Of the board of Direct
ors left last evening for the East.

den With Petitions.
IN W0ULD-BE CAME WAR DENS
Michael K1eist Who is Thought to be
the Leader in the Fight Has Not
Filed a Petition and Wants
the Office Unsought.

Half breeds wno contributed 1iber-
ally to the success of Governor La
Toilette and his ticket in Kenosha
county last fall are thirsting for the
spoi1s of office, and with the resigna-
ton of Assistant Postmaster Rein
ardy as deputy game warden for this
county, general scramble for the Of
fee has been started, and seventeen
petitions have been sent to the pres
ent state game warden asking for the
appointment. The petitions come
from all parts of the county and it is
stated in every case that the petition
er has been staunch in his support of
the governor and his party.
Michael K1eist who is at present
serving his last month in the Office of
deputy inspector of illuminating oils
for the county, seems to be the man
who is expected to get the office, as he
claims to have been one of the two
original supporters Of the governor in
the county. Mr.. K1eist has not sent a
petition to the governor, and is ex-
pecting the Office to come to him I'M
sought. He has not sent any resig-
nation from his present position and
it is possible that he will be retained
as oil inspector, and a new man named
for the Office Of game warden.
1t is stated that the Office will pay a
salary of $75 month with 1ibera1'a1-
1owances for expenses, and for this
reason there is hot contest for it.
The fight is not only being made in
the city, but quite number of the
strong half breed Republicans in the
county have urged their fitness for
the Office by petition both to the gov
ernor and the state game warden.
Prominent among the candidates for
the Office from the county are Ward
B1oss of Salem, w. j. Rhodes of Som
ers, w. w. Winchel1 of Randall,
James Pease Of Salem, John Mutz of
Salem, and half dozen others from
this banner La Toilette town. It is
also claimed that one of the Rowbot-
tom boys at Bristol would accept the
Office if it were rendered to him, but
he has not filed petition. An I'M
usual fact is that Editor Swenson of
the Wi1mot Agitator, is not mentioned
for the Office.
3 In the city the candidates are to be
from from every ward, but the most
prominent among them are Archie
Whitbeck, James Barnhi11 and Alvin
Blood. Nearly all of these men have
filed petitions, and besides petitions
have been sent in by many others who
are not thought to have ghost of a
show for the appointment.
The fight over the oil inspectorship
is not so great, but it is reported that
Louis Ferry, Harry Grace and James
Barnhil1 would be willing to accept
the Office if appointed.
The present game warden of the
state will soon be out of Office, but it
is possible that he will fill the Keno
sha vacancy before he turns the office
over to his successor

District Attorney Announces He
Will Not Take the Initiative in
Cigarette Prosecutions.
MANY AFFECTED BY THE LAW
116 Mercantile Firms Now Deal
ing in Cigarettes and Cigarette
Tobacco Will be Forced to
Give Up Business.

The anti-cigarette law signed
Thursday by Governor LaFo11ette
and which will become a law of the
state on the first day Of July, will
have a stony path in Kenosha county,
as District Attorney r. V. Baker in
speaking of the matter this morning
announced that he would not take the
initiative in enforcing the law and if
there are to be prosecutions of deal
ers for the sale of cigarettes the dis
trict attorney will not act save when
the complaint is made by some in
former, who will receive for his pains
half of the fine collected from the un-
lucky dealer.
Mr.. Baker stated that it was not his
duty to go nosing about the streets of
the city as s1euth in the pursuit of
criminals and that this course would
the anti-cigarette law. He held, how
ever, that it was his sworn duty to
prosecute whenever an action was
brought in the name of the state and
that if informations were filed of vio-
1ations Of the law he would prosecute
them.
"The number Of cases of prosecu-
TONS" said Mr.. Baker, twill depend
entirely on the number of informers,
as shall not make it a point to look
out these cases. It is possible that
under the law would have the right
to take the initiative in enforcing the
law but shall wait until complaints
are filed by others
In speaking of the law Mr.. Baker
expressed his opinion OF it as an
| abridgment of personal L.serties but
he stated that under tie general
caption of police regulations for the
benefit of the public health the law
would be found constitutional
| The law in question is the most
drastic passed in any western state
save Indiana and it prevents the sale,
manufacture, or the jobbing in cigar
! cigarette papers, and fine of SIS is
set for each offense. Some of the at
| torneys in reading the law insist that
it prevents the smoking of cigarettes
as it provides that a person cannot
dispose of the paper pipes in any
manner.
The law will affect 116 mercantile
| firms in Kenosha. In this list are drug
| gists, grocers, tobacco dealers, and
saloon men. Nearly every grocery
store in the city handles cigarettes
and cigarette papers and every drug
store has small stock of tobacco in
this form. Nearly all of the dealers
have arranged to dispose of their
stocks as soon as possible but several
of the leading dealers have refused to
make any cut in the price of the Gig
arettes, claiming that an early fight
in the courts will determine that the
law is unconstitutional.

Reported That Property of Win
trop Harbor & Dock Co., is
to go to Dowie.
MAY INVADE KEN0SHA COUNTY
Residents of Winthrop Harbor Claim
That John Alexander Dowie Has
Quietly Bought UP Property
Long in Litigation

It is reported on seemingly authori-
tative sources at Winthrop Harbor
that the agents of John Alexander
Dowie have closed a deal by which
they will get a title to all of the prop
erty of the Winthrop Harbor and Dock
company which has been tied up by
litigation for the past four or five years
and the 'EDream City" may yet be-
come suburb of Zion. The land in
question extends along the lake shore
for distance of mile and half
and connects with the present north
ern boundary of Zion City.
Since Dowie first planted his colony
in Lake county Winthrop Harbor has
been an eye sore to Zion. At Win
throp Harbor saloons have been es-
tablished and it is claimed that the
people in Zion who once in while
have desire for the life which the
other half lives slip over the line into
Winthrop Harbor and once or twice
they have been brought back to Zion
in an intoxicated condition. Besides
this Winthrop has been constant
menace to Zion on account of threats
made by certain Theatrical promoters
to purchase the property and open a
music hall and beer garden on the
very borders of the sacred city.
The Winthrop Harbor property is a
matter of litigation and a few days
ago an announcement was given out
that the troubles of the company
would shortly be settled out of court
by a sale Of the entire property.
Since that time it is claimed that the
report has spread in Winthrop that
the agents of Dowie are to secure the
property. Dowie will probably not be
connected with the deal but the prop
erty will be transferred to prominent
leaders in the Christian Catholic
church.
This will give the followers their
first holdings in Kenosha county as q
portion of the property owned by the
Winthrop Harbor and Dock company
is situated north of the state line III
This county. This property has beer
matter of litigation several times in
the local courts, but it is thought that
the portion of it now owned by the
Harbor and Dock company is clear Of
incumbrance.
