still collecting money for the fund
and it is expected that the chapel

Candidate Gives His Reasons for Seek
ing the Superintendcy.
Kenosha, Wis, March 81, 1905.
To the Voters of Kenosha County:
As election day draws near it seems
advisable to call your attention to a
few facts in connection with the
county perintendency
AS you all know, received the APP
pointment to this office the first of
January with the expectation of Sc
curing the next election without much
opposition, as has been the case with
appointees in this county and others
for years.
Perhaps you do not know that was
not a seeker for the Office, but &C
copied it after there had been va
cancy for some weeks and no one else
seemed available. However, as am
now in the position, am anxious to
remain in for various reasons.
In the first place, in this short time,
one can do no more than get ac-
quainted with the work and learn how
best to improve the schools. In the
second place, I left good position to
fill this vacancy. And most important
Of all, what kind Of a recommended
ton would it be in seeking a position
to say that was uperintendent Of
Kenosha county schools for while,
but could not hold the place long?
The time of e1ecting state and
county uperintendent was changed to
April in order to make it a non-parti-
san affair, SO surely no vote will be
determined by political feelings.
Hoping that you will take the matter
under consideration, and when the
time comes, not only do the right
thing yourself, but speak to your
friends, both male and female, en-
couraging them to do likewise, am
Gratefully yours,
RALPH KARNES.

Missing Machinist Returns to ke-
nosha After a Two Weeks Va
cation in Chicago.
CAME HOME SUNDAY NIGHT.
Man Who Has Been Missing for
Two Weeks Tells His Friends That
He Wanted Vacation and
Decided to Take 1T.

Walter e. Christian, whose disap-
pearance from Kenosha March 18th
proved FIVE days wonder, is back
in the city again and he went to work
at his machine shop this morning just
as if nothing happened. The shop
was little torn up and disturbed but
he is piecing the broken ends to-
gether and the business will be con-
tinued.
Mr.. Christian has been on vaca-
ton and his return was just as
mysterious as his departure. He came
to the city on the 9:15 train Sunday
evening and entered a carriage and
was at once driven to his home. The
wife and other relatives of Christian
had expected his return and he was
given a royal welcome. Many friends
were at the house during the evening
and Christian seemed to consider the
matter as a great joke. He had not
been out Of Chicago during the two
weeks and had been working in one of
the factories there.
TO one of his friends Christian
stated the full story of his escapade.
He said that for some time he had
been planning to take a vacation from
his work in Kenosha, but that he
could not arrange for it, and he finally
decided just to drop everything and
go. He stated that when he left Ke-
nosha he had planned to spend a
couple of days in Chicago and see
how his disappearance was taken at
home. When he got into Chicago he
met friends who told him just how
the people of Kenosha were taking
his little joke and he decided to con-
tinue it. He seemed to be surprised
that he was not discovered IN Chi
cago, and declares that he had often
passed people from Kenosha on State
street, and that they looked at him
with stony stare, but that he was
sure that these people recognized
him. Christian, however, decided to
keep up the joke and he held out for
two weeks.
1t is said among the friends of the
missing machinist that his wife and
other relatives had known of his
whereabouts for several days, and
that they had known that he
would return to Kenosha as soon as
his vacation was over. Christian
evidently plans to keep up his bust
ness and the shop was opened again
this morning. It is probable that the
men will return to work within few
days, and the business will go on just
as if nothing had happened.

CONTRACT Is SIGNED
postoffice Will Continue to DC.
cupy Old Place in CaIkins
Building on Main Street.
IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE

The Kenosha postofhce will not be
moved and ali negotiations to secure
other quarters for the postmaster and
his assistants are off. This was an
nounced late Saturday evening, when
the government, by its agent, In
spector Gould, of Chicago, closed a
five year lease with O. M. Ca1kins for
the rent of the quarters now occupied.
The annual rental is to be $1,000 a year
and Mr., Calkins agrees to make all
the improvements needed and to fur
nish light and heat for the building
during the life of the contract.
The making of this lease has of
course stopped all negotiations and
the proposals that have been made by
Mrs. Anna Meyers and others will be
returned.
The arrangements made by the in
spector provide for extensive I'M
provements to be made by the owner
of the building, and they are to be
completed as soon as possible. In the
first place the old stoves which have
been used to half heat the building
will be thrown into the scrap pile and
a hot air furnace will be installed.
This furnace will be sufficiently large
to insure the heating of the building.
It is also understood that an effort
will be made to have new gas fixtures
put in so that the lobby of the office
will be lighted sufficiently to allow
the patrons to find the boxes. Many
front of the office. The boxes and
the general delivery windows will be
moved forward so that the lobby will
be cut in two and the south portion Of
the front part of the building will be
fitted up for the use of the money
order department. This will relieve
the congested conditions in the work
ing room of the office without materi-
ally interfering with the use of the
lobby by the public. The removal of
the money order department will
make it possible for the carriers to
have more room fol their desks and
there will be a little room for the
rural carriers to work in.
The inspector in speaking of the
lease stated that the location was an
ideal one and that with the repairs
agreed upon the building would be
suited to the demands of the Office
until such time as government build
ing could be built.
