killing Midshipman Branch in bru

at Annapolis returned verdict sen

This is practically no punishment at

That the verdict is an unfortunate one
is shown by the fact that hazing at

The first skirmish over government
regulation OF railroad rates occurred
in the United States Senate on Mon
day, when Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina, stirred up the animals. He
offered bill giving the Interstate
Commerce Commission authority to
regulate rates, and Senator Foraker,
OF Ohio, made bitter speech against
it. Senator Bailey, of Texas, spoke in
favor of the bill. 1t is apparent that
the proposition for government regu'
latlon OF railroad rates will be heart
lily supported by the Democrats.

The appointment of United States
District Attorney for West Virginia
Is causing good deal Of agitation
among politicians just now. Reese
Blizzard, the present incumbent, is
said to have the endorsement of Sen
ator Elkins and Senator Scott, but
Is bitterly opposed by Governor Daw-
son. The President is said to be
averse to appointing Blizzard, who
is corporation attorney and has
rather unenviable reputation as a
lobbyist and political schemer, and
would much prefer W. N. Miller, a
scholarly lawyer of Parkersburg.
Senator Elkins is in a sort of hole,
tor if ne insists on Blizzard he will
ALLEVIATE the Dawson wing Of the par
ty, and ii be goes back on Blizzard
that gentleman, he knows, will fight
him with unceaslng mahgnity.

Engineers Of C. & M. E. R. R.
Company Have Only Two
Farmers to Settle With
PAY WELL FOR RIGHT OF WAY
Farmers Receive $500 an Acre for
Their Land and 5000 for Dam
ages.-The Road May Be
Built This Year.

Tie engineers of the Chicago &
Milwaukee Electric Railway company
have all but completed their long
labor of securing the right of way for
the road between this city and Zion
City, and today it is announced that
but two farmers are holding out
against the coming of the road.
The two men who have not as yet
sold the right of way to the company,
are Matt Stahl, Jr.. and John Balm.
The agents of the company are now
negotiating with these men, and it is
thought that a settlement will be
made without the inconvenience of
taking the matter into court. It is
possible that the settlement will be
reached before the end of the present
week.
The company has been rather gen
erous with the farmers along the
right of way proposed, and the settle
ments have been made at the rate of
$500 an acre for the land actually
used, added to which the company
has paid the sum of 5000 to each far
mer for damages incurred through
the building of the railway. In sew
era1 cases the farmers refused to ac-
cept the bonuses offered, claiming
that the road will be great benefit to
their property. This view is taken
along the proposed route, but of
course the farmers are DESTROYS of
getting all that is possible, and most
of them have held out for the dam
ages.
One of the longest stretches of
land to be passed over is owned by
Jason Lathrop, and he has informed
the company that all he asks is the
payment for the land used in the
building of the line.
In the meantime, while the engin-
GERS are still at work securing the
right of way, the contra ctors have
begun work at Zion City and are
grading nortfward as rapidly as pos
sible. It is stated on the best of
authority that all of the material for
LAC AAAO OCIWSNh 4ANAOSAd dAO Z<1Ou
has been purchased, and it will be
placed along the right of way within
another week. The contractors are
still hopeful of having the work COM
pleted before snow flies, but it does
not look as if this would be possible
as there is SO much grading to be
done and several bridges to be put in.
The line south of Zion City is not
yet in operation, but it is expected
that it will be opened for traffic the
first of next month.

A BAN ON POsTALs
Post officials are Notified That
Improper Cards Cannot Pass
Through the Mails
PUTS QUIETUS ON LATEST FAD

Persons in Kenosha who have been
sending through the mails certain
souvenir cards and which are consid-
cred "too loud" must stop the prac-
tice, as the postal authorities have
ordered that the postal cards such as
are considered too suggestive be not
allowed to pass through the mails,
and in order that the mailing clerks
may know just what kind of cards
are considered unavailable small pack
ages of cards are sent to the offices
to illustrate. The request to prevent
certain cards going through the mails
only includes those mailed here and
not those coming here from elsewhere.
While hundreds of souvenir cards
are mailed here each week and many
are considered ''too 1oud,' hundreds
of indecent cards are received from
foreign countries, especially France
and Germany.
Sending of picture postals original
ed in the desire to send pictures of
places visited by tourists. The first
cards are said to have been printed
in Paris. The United States postofice
encouraged the sending of them, as
the practice was educational, by per-
hitting them to be made in this coun-
try and sent by placing a 1-cent
stamp on the face.
The fad has grown until making
picture postal cards is business, and
cards having pictures of every city
and resort of consequence may be
bought.
The objection which the govern
ment finds is to species of pictures
personal in nature and sometimes in
tended to convey a message. This
feature of picture cards, too, may have
originated in Paris. Pictures which
come from foreign lands are worse
than any made in this country. The
number of pictures of this kind which
are sent is said to be surprising.
Many are being sent to the dead let
ter Office from cities.
The department does not desire to
discourage the sending of pictures
which are Legitimate. An argument
which has had force against the sug-
gestive kind of card is that the re-
ceiver is powerless to save himself
from receiving it. 1t may cause So
cia1 unp1easantness and it is open
to inspection of the public and of
children who chance to look over the
mail.

TRAMPLED BY A HORSE
w. F. Martin Receives Injuries at His
Home on Wednesday Afternoon

Home on Wednesday Afternoon
w. F. Martin the we'll known
Manufacturer of soda and pop was
badly injured at his factory on Park
street Wednesday afternoon by being
trampled by a horse. Mr. Martin had
gone to the stable in the rear of the
factory to unhitch the horse and it is
supposed that the horse became
frightened at something and reared
up. He struck Martin in the chest
knocking him down and then began
to tramp on him. Before Martin
could be rescued he had received
severe wounds on the head, face and
arms. He was carried to the house
with blood flowing freely from half a
dozen bad cuts and DR.. Pugh was
called to attend him. An investiga-
ton showed that the skull had not
been fractured. Several stitches
were required to close the wounds.
Mr.. Martin was resting easy today
but it will be some time before he will
be able to take up his work again.

. NO ICE FAMINE HERE
Dealers mphatica11y Deny Statements
Made in Out of Town Papers

DCtAACA . ALI puaCICd1AyD Guy statements
Made in Out of Town Papers
The statements made in out of town
papers that Kenosha and Racine are
suffering from an ice famine is en-
phatically denied by the men in the
ice business in Kenosha. These men
state that there is not and has not
been any shortage of ice in Kenosha
and that they have every reason to be-
lieve that there will be an ample sup
ply for the remainder of the season.
The story of famine was started on
account of the fact that several ice
houses in this section of the state
have recently been destroyed by fire.
A great deal of ice was destroyed in
these fires, but during the opening
part of the season not bit of ice was
moved, so that the supply is larger
than is usual at this time of the year
Ice continues to be shipped into the
city by the. cargo, and the companies
have given the Kenosha dealers as
surance that they will be able to sup
ply all demands on them.

MAY SELL PRODUCTS
Farmers Living in Wisconsin Will
Not Have to Pay License
Fees to Sell Produce
HUCKSTERS ARE INTERESTED

Farmers who distribute their own
produce from house to house are not
pedd1ers and hawkers and do not come
within the provision of the pedd1ers'
and hawkers' law as enacted at the
last session of the Legislature. This is
the decision in brief, as rendered in
an unofficial opinion by the attorney
general, in response to a verbal re-
monstrance by a delegation of Mil
waukee vendors, who objected to al
lowing farmers to compete with them
in the sale of vegetables. In render
ing his opinion the attorney general
quotes with approval the language of
a high court, to the effect that farm
ers do not come within the mischief
which pedd1er's license law is de-
signed TO correct, except that they are
the victims of this mischief. The
opinion is in part as follows:
"1t has been held by the supreme
court of the state of Pennsylvania
that farmers who sell products raised
on their own farm by driving through
the streets of the city and stopping
at such times and places as their
business and customers require are
not hawkers and pedd1ers within the
meaning of an ordinance requiring a
license for hawking and peddling."
Speaking in regard to pedd1ers and
stating reasons why the business
should be licensed and regulated un-
der the police power of the state, the
court says:
"a merchant or storekeeper is res
ident, has a fixed place of business,
where his goods are shown to those
who come in search of what they
need, where he can be reached by
process, and compelled to make good
his warranty of the quality of his
wares. The pedd1er is a transient
with no fixed place of business, who
seeks customers by invading their
homes, and makes sales by persuading
people to buy what they do not need,
and who, by the time he is wanted
to answer for his Representations and
engagements, is out of sight and out

of tracking a 1aboring man or wo-

about the manner in which he gets it,
that has made the peddler dread in
the country and in the villages, and
has led the law makers in this and
other states to put the business un-
der strict regulations when it is not
wholly forbidden"
''This is the only construction I
have been able to find which deter

sells his produce to a statute or ordi-
nance regulating peddling, ard which
in this manner determines that farm
ers are not peddlers. / accept that

SEEK FOR BROWN BOY
Police of Kenosha Asked to Search
for Son of S. H. Brown, Mana
ger of lions General Stores
BOY RESENTS cHASTISEMENT

| Chief of Police Reino1d has received
request from Zion City to make an
effort to find some trace of the 14-year-
old son of S.H. Brown, the manager of
the Zion general stores, who disap-
peared from his home on Thursday
morning, and who is supposed to be in
hiding in Kenosha.
The father of the boy called the Ke-
nosha chief on Thursday and informed
him that at the same time the boy
disappeared gold watch belonging
to Brown had also disappeared, and it
is thought that the boy took the watch
to secure money for his travelling ex-
penses. It is alleged that another
Zion City boy left with Brown and it
is thought chat both of them are in
Kenosha.
Brown stated that his son was for
mer1y devout member of the Dowie
church, but that recently it had been
found necessary to chasten the lad,
and that he had been suspended from
the church for some of his wrongdo-
ing. Since his chastisement the bow
had repeatedly stated that he intended
to leave his home and go to some
other city, and he is now carrying the
threat into execution. Young Brown
is said to be well educated, and he was
former assistant Of. his father in the
general stores at Zion City.
Chief Reino1d and his men made
search of the city Thursday evening,
but they failed to find any trace of
Brown or his com panion, and no watch
answering the description has been Of
fered for, sale in Kenosha. The disap-
pearance Of young Brown, coming as
it did when the Feast of the Taberna-
Gle was at its height in Zion City, has
made a great sensation among the
people of Dowie's city, and every pos
sible effort is being made to locate the
boy.
