SUPT. CARY WARNS BUYERS.
He Says Chart Agents Represent Their
Offerings as Endorsed

State Supt. c. P. Cary last night
issued circular to school district
officers warning them that several
persons are reported to be selling a
school chart in the southern part of
the state and fraudu1ent1y pretending
to be representing his department or
the agricultural school of the urliver-
sity.
The chart purports to be help in
teaching the science of agriculture.
Supt. Cary calls attention to the
fact that school officers cannot legally
purchase school supplies except at
meeting attended by all three mem
bers of the school board.
He also says that he has not and
will not give any recommendation to
any vendor of school charts, supplies
or equipment of any kind. It is re-
ported that the southern part of the
state has already been we'll worked
over by the agents complained of.

SONG OF THE LOCUST
Seventeen Year Pests Invade Or
chards South Of City, Great
Damage Being Done.
SEEK TO STOP THE ADVANCE

The seventeen year 1ocusts, the
most dreaded pest known to the farm
ers, have invaded the precincts of the
county and the song of the pests can
be heard every evening in the ORCH
ards south of the city. The pests
which have not been in Kenosha
county in many year made their
first appearance in the large orchard
of Mat. Stahl, Jr., just south of the
city on the sand road and they are
now coming in great number.
AT first less than half dozen of the
locusts were seen in the orchard but
now there are thousands of them and
they are spreading over wide
stretch of territory to the south of the
city. The farmers are not able to
check the advance of the army and
there is little doubt but that great
damage will result from the visit.
There is no doubt but that the pests
south of the city are the old fashion
ed locusts but several of the insects
have been captured and sent to the
SldlC university 4OA SAdMAHdlAOHs
Some of the farmers have already be-
gun to cover their trees with paris
green and other substances to put an
end to the 1ocusts. These remedies
have not proved effective in other
years and the farmers are anxious to
secure something from the state uni
versity which will be sure death to
the locusts.
Several of the trees in the Stah1 or
chard are badly barked and it is fear
ed that every tree in the orchard has
been attacked by the insects. If the
presence of the pests becomes general
in the county it is probable that the
fruit crop will be badly damaged.

THE Evening Wisconsin seems to
take about the same view of the re-
cent accident in this city as the coro-
ner's jury. 1t says:
"The accident by which two young
men at Kenosha lost their lives is one
that should be carefully guarded
against wherever electricity is in use.
A guy wire crossed by an electric
light wire became charged with a
deadly current. One of the young
fellows inadvertently touched it and
was instantly killed. Later, the
other, undertaking to show how his
companion had lost his life, met the
same fate, and dog which touched
its nose to the wire was shocked to
death. Sheer care1essness is respon-
sib1e for the conditions which make
possible most of the fatalities of this
sort,''

THERE is an ordinance, which is
supposed to be in force, designed to
regulate the height of awnings above
the sidewalks, but there are very few
merchants on Main street, or any
other part of the city, who have paid
any attention to it. Many of the
awnings are altogether too low. They
are so near, the walk that only a
dwarf could pass under them without
STOPPING or losing his hat, and they
are a good deal of nuisance to Pc
destrians. 1t would be easy enough
to abate the nuisance, and while the
Outdoor Art Association is 1aboring
to make the city beautiful, the city
authorities could do something to
make it more comfortable by enforc-
ing the awning ordinance.

AUTO OWNERS PROTEST.
Their Machines Become Fast in Mud
on the Middle Road to Kenosha.

Automobiles are making many
complaints Of the middle road leading
from Racine to Kenosha for during
the past few days many Of them have
been stalled there for several hours
unable to go one way or the other,
The trouble is caused by the high CEN
ter of the road and it is being loudly
condemned by all chauffeurs who have
been out that way as one of the poor
est pieces of road building they ever
saw.
Sunday there was no less than a
dozen machines stuck there at one
time and all sorts of ways were re-
sorted to to get the autos out of the
fix. Some were hoisted by means of
jack screws and others not quite so
badly off were gotten out by digging
around and under the machine. When
the earth was scraped up from the
sides of the highway it was piled high
in the center. When the rain came
and wagons went over the road the
wheels wore ruts on either side of the
center and left ridge about two feet
high.

SINCE the double electrocution Sum
day there has been noticeable feel
ing of uneasiness all over the city.
Nobody knows where the lightning is
going to strike next. The electric
lighting company has undoubtedly
made careful inspection of all of its
wires since the accident, but the pub
lie does not feel satisfied, and the peo-
pie are apprehensive that other acct
dents may occur. The city authori-
ties should do something to quiet
their fears. Since the city has no
expert electrician in its employ to do
this work, it should hire one to exam
inc carefully MEDICATION and insuls.-
ton of every wire In the city carrying
electricity. The lighting company
would probably be willing to pay the
expenses of such an inspection by an
UMPIRE JUDGED expert, and even if the
city had to paythe bill, the inspec-
ton would be we'll worth the few dol
lars it would cost.

New Temple of the Holland Reformed
Church to be Dedicated Sunday.
The members of the Holland Chris
tian Reformed church in the city are
making elaborate arrangements for
the dedication of the new church of
the congregation, which will be held
on next Sunday evening. The new
church, which is located at the corner
of Jenne and Jay streets, has just
been completed at cost of $1,000. It
is a wooden structure, 35x50, but it
promises to make very comfortable
home for the congregation for years to
come.
Many members of the church in
other cities will come to Kenosha to
attend the services, and the dedica-
ton sermon will be preached by the
Rev. B. Einenk, Of the First Christian
Reformed church of Chicago.
The members of the church hope to
be able to dedicate the structure with.
out debt. Two thousand dollars has
already been raised and a great effort
will be made this week to raise the
other money needed.
The congregation. is one of the
Youngest. iutthe city. 1t consists of
twenty-five families, but all of them
are very loyal to the church. It has
been arranged to have the services of
the dedication in English.

VETS COMING HERE
Reunion of 26th Wisconsin Vol
unteers to be Held in Ke.
nosha on July is.
NOTED MEN TO BE PRESENT

Invitations were sent out Monday
for the annual reunion of the sur
vivors of the 10Th Wisconsin regiment
of volunteers for the civil war which
will be held in Kenosha on July 10.
1t is expected that the reunion will be
the greatest gathering of the sur
vivors of the regiment held since 1870
and it is expected that fully hundred
of the members will come to Kenosha
to revive the memories of the war.
AT a recent meeting of the officers
of the association in Milwaukee a poll
of theregiment was taken and it was
discovered that there are 135 sur
vivors. Just forty years ago the
regiment returned from the war and
the reunion is to be held on the
fortieth anniversary of the muster
out.
The members of the regiment in
this city are C. f. Stemm. George L.
Limpert, Charles Vo11mer, and Peter
Wirshem and these men will be the
hosts on the occasion of the return of
the other members of the regiment.
The 10th was one of the leading regi-
.ments in the war of the rebellion and
the members saw as much of the real
smoke of battle as any regiment from
Wisconsin. The regiment was at
Gettysburg and was with Sherman in
his famous march to the sea. 1t was
composed largely Of German
Americans and most of the men were
recruited in the neighborhood of RAJ
cine and Kenosha.
The reunion is to be held at Park
City garden and the local members
will arrange all sorts of entertainment
for their old comrades. The members
of the Fred S. Lowell Post g. A. r.
have promised to turn out to greet
the members of the regiment and the
local chapter of the D. x. K. x. will
assist in entertaining.

coroner's Jury Investigating the
Death Of Petracci Brothers,
Censures Electric Co.
CIRCUIT IS NOT PROTECTED
After Long Consideration of the Evil
dence in Case the Jury Paves the
Way for Suits for Damages-vic-
Tins of Accident Are Buried.

That the deceased came to their
deaths by coming in contact with a
guy wire, which was charged from
primary circuit belonging to the Ke-
nosha Gas and Electric Company, and
find the Kenosha Gas and Electric
Company guilty of negligence, mas
much as their primary circuit was
improperly protected.
This was the verdict of the coroner's
jury, called to investigate into the
deaths of Antonio and Vincenzo
Petracci, who were killed at the cor
ner of Maple street and Grand avenue
Sunday morning by touching live
wire. The investigation of the death
of the two men was not completed
until nearly o'clock Monday night,
and evidence of every sort was taken
before the matter was finally sent to
the jury for their verdict. H. A.
Baker, the electrician for the Chi
cago-Kenosha Hosiery Company, was
the foreman of the jury, and his wide
experience in matters electrical,
aided materially in fixing the blame
for the double fatality. The jury con-
sidered the verdict for some time,
some of the members of the jury de-
string to bring more serious charge
against the company whose wires had
caused the accident.
It is thought, however, that the
verdict of censure given by the jury
will hou tho ofFon% nf fnrNSr1or +
care on the part of the officials of the
company, and that the possibility of
such an accident in the future will be
eliminated. 1t will probably result in
the company securing some new and
better system of inspection, which
will make it possible for the officials
of the company to know absolutely if
there are any ground circuits on the
lines.
The verdict of the coroner's Jury
will of course open the way for the
relatives of the deceased Italians to
bring civil action against the COM
pany to recover for the killing of the
men, and there is little doubt but that
this sort Of an action will be taken by
some attorney within the next few
days. The members of the family of
the dead men attended the inquest,
but they showed no feeling of revenge
against the officials of the company,
and the father of the dead boys was
entirely satisfied by the verdict re-
turned by the jury.
The Electric company officials
stated Monday night that the accident
was most deplorable one, but they
held that there was no way for the
company to know that the wires at
this point were crossed, and that for
this reason the company denied all
responsibility for the deaths of the
men.
It is claimed that the two brothers
were among the most popular Italians
in the city. Both of them were en-
ployed at the Kenosha Crib company's
plant and they had been well liked by
their fellow employees.

Circus Followers Who Entered
Home of W. ]. Mainland
Secure 5000 Worth.
THEFT DISCOVERED MONDAY.
Men Had Entered the House With a
Skeleton Key After Discovering
That None of the Family
Was at Home.

The visit of the circus and its han
gers on to Kenosha last Friday has
proved to be an expensive one for
several people in the city, and Mon
day night another robbery was re-
ported to the police.
It seems that during the circus
parade on Friday morning the resi-
dence of w. j. Mainland on Pomeroy
street was entered by burglars and
diamonds and jewe1ry and cash to the
amount of over 5000 were taken. The
robbery was not discovered until 1ate
Monday night, when it was reported
to Chief Reino1d and his men.
Mr.. Mainland had recently come to
Kenosha from Clinton, Iowa, to make
his home, and the room in the house
from which the jewelry had been
taken is not in regular use. For this
reason the burglar was given start
of three days before the loss was dis
covered.
In the long list of jewelry and other
va1uab1es taken from the house was a
diamond brooch valued at SIS, gold
watch and chain worth $42, Past
Masters Masonic jewel recently pre-
sented to Mr.. Mainland by -r lodge
at Clinton, valued at $50 I'D a half
dozen rings, pins and ofher pieces of
jewelry, gold $3.50 piece and Col
umbian half dollar.
The crime was committed about II
O'Clock Friday morning. The mem
bers of the Mainland family had gone
down town to watch the parade when
one of the neighbors saw stranger
standing on the front porch of the
house. He rung the bell vigorously,
and when he got no response he went
round to the rear of the house and
made similar efforts to rouse the
household.
When he was thoroughly convinced
that there was no one in the house he
opened the front door with skeleton
key. Once in the house he went to
the upper rooms and as luck would
have it he stumbled onto dresser IN
which the jewelry and money had
been laid away. With this rich haul
in his possession he did not disturb
any of the other rooms in the house
but hurried away locking the door
after him and covering his tracks.
He went down the street as if nothing
had happened and the neighbor who
had watched the whole performance
believed that he was some relative of
the Mainland family who had come
to the city to see the circus parade
Last night Mr.. and Mrs. Mainland
had occasion to use some of the ar
ticles in the room and when they went
to the dresser they discovered that
the robbery had taken place. Thepo-
lice were Immediately notified butts it
is probable that before this time the
daring thief has had chance to'dis-
pose of his booty. He is probably
working in some other city in which
the circus is showing today.
The police have not been able to
find anything that will aid them in
discovering the identity of this man or
of the one that burglarized the home
of Charles Ostlund and secured $135
in cash.
