Ernest Lowth, Prominent Resident
ofToWn Of Randall, Held Ona
Charge of Horse Theft
He PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE
prominent Randall Man Is Alleged t.
Have Stolen Horse Belonging
to John S. ReynoIds-Man
Is Released On Bail

Ernest Lowth, one of the most
prominent men of the town of Ran
dali, occupied the Office of Sheriff
Vietch for an hour last night while
bond was being signed to secure his
release from custody. Lowth had
been arrested on a charge of horse
stealing, the complaining witness be-
ing Everett Reynolds, a son Of John S.
Reynolds.
On the evening of July II a pony
owned by John S. Reynolds gdisap-
peared from the Reynolds home. and
on the 18th OF the month Lowth was
arrested and charged with the crime
OF stealing the horse. Lowth claimed
at the time that he was victim of
circumstances, but the pony was found
at the Lowth home and he was taken
before Justice G. W. McKesson. in
the town of Randall yesterday, and on
the evidence of the members of the
Reynolds family he was held to the
circuit court under bonds of 81, 900.
Deputy Sheriff McKesson. Town
Chairman F1emming and Charles
Lowth, brother of the accused.
came to Kenosha with the prisoner
last night, and it had been planned to
have Lowth locked up in the county
jail pending trial. However, District
Attorney Baker was called into the
case and found that the complaint was
detective, and the sheriff finally de-
c1ded to release Lowth on bonds. His
bond, which had been set by the Ran
dali justice, was furnished by his
brother and by Town Chairman
Thomas Flemnling of Salem.
Lowth claims that he was. passing
the Reynolds farm on the day the
pony was alleged to have been stolen,
and that when he reached a point
known as Dougan's corners the pony
was grazing along the road. He
claims that it followed him to his
home aud that he placed it in his barn
awaiting the coming of the owner.
The arrest of Lowth has caused
great sensation in the western part of
the county, as he is one of the best
hnoWn men IN that district. He has
been resident of the town for more
than eight years and has always had
a good reputation. His brother,
Charles Lowth, is the manager for the
Tewes Brothers Ice company in Silver
Lake. The friends of Lowth charac-
terize his arrest and binding over as
an outrage, and claim that there was
absolutely no evidence to hold the de-
PENDANT, and that the evidence showed
that he had simply done a friendly
turn by caring for the horse. 1t is
probable that the matter will be so ar
ranged that the complaint against
Lowth will be withdrawn before the
opening of the next term of the circuit
dourt, at which time the matter would
come up for trial.

GREEN PAINT FOR MAIL BOXES
Uncle Sam Finds That the Present
Color is Defective.

Green soon will be the color that
will guide writer's of letters when they
wish to commit their missives to the
care of Uncle Sam. Aluminium col
ored post boxes are doomed, and the
order has gone forth that boxes in
Chicago and everywhere else are to
become brilliant grass hue.
TRANSFORMED of the 1900 boxes
in Chicago will commence soon, and
by the late fall it is expected alum
mum tinted mail boxes will be a thing
Of history.
The change is because aluminium
paint has not proved satisfactory.
Green retains its viri1ity and fresh.
ness much longer than does alumni.
mum. Aluminium paint becomes
dirty, dingy and rusty, while green
remains spick and span. The change
is simply a common sense move, and
is return to the green boxes that
preceded the present ones. Twelve
years or so ago the old green boxes
were done away with. Boxes in other
cities also will assume an emerald
hue, and the citizen will recognize
his friend tn post box by it's COM

Officers of Revenue Cutter Nor.
rilI Overhaul Kenosna Yacht
Entering Racine Harbor
WAS SAILING WlTHOUTLIGHTS
Members of the Crew Are Taken on
Board the Cutter and Given a Leo
ture, After Which They Secure
Lights and Proceed

The yacht Thetis, of the Kenosha
Yacht Club fleet, was overhauled by
the United States revenue cutter
Morrill, as she was entering the Ra
cine harbor just before midnight
Wednesday night. The officers of the
Kenosha boat were taken on board the
cutter and charged with sailing the
yacht without the proper lights, as
demanded by government rules. The
members of the crew managed to
make proper excuses, and after being
subjected to lecture they were al
lowed to enter the harbor.
The Thetis, which is one of the
fastest boats in the Kenosha fleet.
had been sailing in the lake off Keno
sha for several hours Wednesday
night, when the members of the crew,
ten in number, decided to sail the
yacht to Racine. They left Kenosha
Just after II o'clock and made a rec
lord breaking run to the entrance of
the Racine harbor. They were lust
making for the harbor light, when
the party on board were surprised. to
see rope thrown from large boat in
the harbor and in another minute
they were being hauled alongside the
revenue cutter. There was no light
on the Thetis. The captain and mem
/ bers of the crew we're at once sum-
! moned before the officers of the gov
/ eminent boat and were given to I'M
derstand that the use of lights was
! demanded on all vessels sailing on the
lake. The members of the crew as
sured the government officials that
the lack of lights was an oversight,
| and as soon as they had been released
members of the party went up into
/ Racine and secured lantern, which
was used during the return trip to
Kenosha.
Many complaints are being received
on account Of the care1essness of
yachtsmen and owners of gasoline
launches in sailing without display
ing the usual lights. The laws of the
lakes demand that these boats carry
not only side lights, but also lights on
the rear OF the boats. only short
time ago bad collision occurred in
the Racine harbor, which resulted in
the loss of one life. This accident
was directly caused by the failure of
the smaller boat to carry the neces-
sary lights. An accident was mar
row1y averted in the Kenosha harbor
Wednesday night, when the yacht
Mirella narrowly escaped running
down a gasoline launch which was
slipping into the harbor without the
proper lights.
The United States government Of
fcia1s on the revenue cutter have sent
out orders demanding the rigid en-
forcement Of this law and arrests will
undoubtedly be made if any more vio-
lations are noted.

TO CONNECT WITH WAUKEGAN
Rural and Independent Telephone
Lines to Connect With Waukegan

Rural and Independent Telephone
Lines to Connect With Waukegan
Plans have been completed for the
opening of an Independent Telephone
Exchange in the city of Waukegan,
aud the lines will be extended from
this central exchange to all the
smaller towns of Lake county. While
under different management, the
company has already arranged to con-
meet the lines with those of the Bris-
tel Telephone company in this county
and with the Citizens Telephone COM
pany in Kenosha. This will give the
Citizens company the long desired
outlet for toll service to the south. 1t
is thought that within another year
the system of independent lines will
be completed through to Chicago.
In the meantime efforts are being
made to secure connection with
Milwaukee by way of Racine, and it
is expected that the plans for the
building of this line will be an
nounced in a few days.

SEE RAY OF HOPE
Supreme Council Of Royal Ar
canum to Hold Another Meet
ing in September
MAY REscIND NEW RATES

The older members of the Royal
Arcanum in Kenosha who have been
making their protests against the
proposed changes in the rates of the
order see a ray of hope in the fact
that the Supreme Council of the order
is to hold another meeting in the near
future, at which a plan to rescind the
action of the last meeting will be pro-
posed. So universal has been the OBJ
lection to the proposed new rates that
the officers of the order see no future
for the order without some change
which will ame1iorate the older MEM
bers.
From every part of the country
protests have been received and sew
eral of the councils have promised to
| fight any change in the rates by in
junction. Added to this, the New
York state organization, which is the
largest in the order, has come out
against the new rates, and if the SUI
preme Council should see fit to up
hold the rates it is probable that the
WV Va n NOL4UO44S WOp1O SCCC0C
the order.
Thus far the Kenosha council has
taken no action on the matter, but a
meeting of the local council will be
held on Friday evening and it is ex-
pected that at that time the member
ship will decide on the course to be
adopted by this council.
The plan to hold another meeting
of the Supreme Council seems to be a
favorite one with the protesting mem
bers, as they seem to be confident
that they can present their case in
such manner as to force the SUI
preme Council to rescind the work of
the former meeting.
During the past two or three weeks
the members of the Kenosha council
have been discussing the various
plans offered to save the order, and
the meeting on Friday evening will
undoubtedly be an interesting one.

FOUND PIN IN HER EAR
Girl at Bassetts Station Found to be
Suffering From Unusual Ma1ady.

A peculiar case is reported from
Bassett where daughter of Charles
Shu1tz is alleged to have got better
from long sickness in an unusual
manner. The girl has been doctor
ing for two or three years and at
one time it was feared she would
lose her eye sight. Of late the pain
had settled in the side of her head
and on one day recently a pin work
ed itself into sight, where it was
pulled out from her ear.
Since then the girls troubles have
largely ceased and it seems likely
that the pin swallowed in the begin
ing, has for months been voyaging
around in her anatomy until finally
it concluded to return to the outer
world. The girl now claims to re-
member when the pin was swallowed,
although during the time it was voy-
aging through her body no hint of the
real state of affairs was known to her
or to her parents.

CAN'T SELL COD FISH
New State Law Prohibits Dealers to
Sell Cod Fish in Wisconsin

Grocers and dealers in meats in the
city who have been accustomed to
offer cod fish for sale, have received
letters from the Chicago wholesale
houses stating that in the future it
will be impossible for them to supply
the trade in Kenosha. A law passed
by the last Legislature of the state
makes it a misdemeanor to sell cod
fish or any other kind of fish or meats
in which a preservative containing
borax has been used. As all forms of
cod fish now on the market are pre-
served by the use of borax, the sale of
this toothsome meat in Wisconsin is
now forbidden.
The law is practically unknown to
the dealers here, and a canvass this
morning showed that nearly ali of the
stores had cod fish in stock and were
offering it for sale. They have or
dered that it be taken off the shelves
and will run no risk of prosecution by
the state pure food commissioners.

IT is curious sight to see good
drivers and horsemen who are driv-
ing north on Park avenue turn to the
left when they reach the Y. M. c. A.
corner. They have to cross the street
railway track to do it, but there seems
to be something magnetic on the west
side of the track which draws them to
the wrong side of the street at this
point regardless of the danger. A
majority of the auto drivers are also
guilty of this mistake.

cav. LA FoLLETTEs PROPHECY

Governor LaFol1ette, of Wisconsin,
addressed the Joliet Chautauqua for
two and half hours last Saturday on
representative Government, and
snnnned up his remarks in the state
u,enA that the history Of this nation IS
to be- written anew during the next

tang 10 railroads. Government owner
sn5g or control of the railroad sys-
terag, he said, was the principal solu-
4se2 for the ills that had been brought
goega the country through unlawful
combinations. He also warned the
oeuale of the growing power of Rock
seFegfer and his agents and of the con-
truR which the great combinations Of
9a1S3a1 exercised over the state legis-
gsaaYes and the United States senate
Ia explaining what he meant by re-
writing the history of the nation he
yswahesied that the next ten years
wpald either give the country COM
psately into the hands of the power
f,al combinations or else bring the
government back to the people.
Putting it all together, he must be
understood as meaning that popular
pnxernment has been overthrow in
This country by the great combina-
afrg4s, and that it will be restored
wafhin ten years by means of bloody
revolution like that by which it was
established in the last century.
To state Governor LaFo1lette's po-
satfon is to hold it up to ridicule.

The sixty Italians employed by the
Wisconsin Contra. Railway company
in the gravel pits near the village of
Wilmot have gone on strike. The men
are satisfied with their wages, but it is
alleged that they refuse to work longer
and live IN cars too far from village
The demand made by the Italians is
that the cars in which they live be
moved up to point where there is
large apple orchard owned by the
company. Incidentally the point is
much nearer the village and the men
will be able to get their regular al
1owance of beer the year round. The
managers of the company have so far
refused to accede to the demands of
the employees.

BALANCE SHEET OF HOT WAVE

specifically the hot weather of the
past few days has been attended with
consequences painful to humanity.
The great cities of the temperate zone
are peculiarly i1l-adapted to comforta-
BILE existence during periods OF IN
tense heat. A globe trotter who was
interviewed in New York a few days
ago said that he had suffered more
| physical discomfort from heat during
la few days while in London, England,
than he had experienced during
trail Africa. In dress, in diet, IN hous-
| ing and sleeping arrangements the
people of the great cities Of the North
are at a terrible disadvantage when
the su1try demon of the South" sets
| up his torrid court within their pre-
cincts.
| The present summer has been one
| of unusually high temperature IN
many of the large cities of Europe.
Complaints have been loud from Rome,
| from Paris and from Berlin, as we'll as
from the English capital The spring
in the United States, particularly in
the region between the Great Lakes
and the Rocky Mountains, was SO wet
and cool as to provoke remark. Self
appointed purveyors of meteorological
| information declared that the low
temperature and high rainfall were
caused by the spots on the sun, and
| limited that there would not be much
of summer in 1905. Their wisdom
began to be doubted in the East as
long as three weeks ago, when New
York and Boston and Philadelphia
wilted under the onslaught of hot
waves. Their pretentions are jeered
at now.
The spots on the sun have not pre-
vented the development of heated
term in every part of the country.
Even Milwaukee has been uncomfort-
ably warm. The mortality from sum
strokes in several of the larger cities
has been appalling, yesterday's rec
ord of fatalities from this cause being
rs IN New York, IS in Chicago, 10 in
Philadelphia, III Pittsburg and 4 in
Baltimore. Fifty deaths attributed
to sunstroke have occurred in Detroit
during the past four days.
This is the somber side Of the situa-
ton. To offset the discomforts at
tendant upon the heat, there is a dec
laration of crop experts that the
high temperature of the past six days
has been the salvation of the corn
crop, and has done incalculable good
to potatoes, besides saving immense
quantities of hay, which were lying
soaked in the fields and in danger of
rotting. The heat came at precisely
the right time to benefit Wisconsin
tobacco, and, taking everything into
consideration, was very cheap at the
price of little discomfort.
AS for the mortality the heat occa-
stoned, it is to be remembered that
cold and damp weather have their
human victims too, though as rule
they do not dispatch them so swiftly
as the fervid sun. In striking the
balance sheet of its account with the
hot wave, the profits of humanity are
found to be far in excess of it's losses.
