PETITIONS ARE OPEN
Attorney Genera Holds That Petit
tions for Candidates are Public
Property d the Voters
NO EFFORT TO HIDE NAMES

There will be no secrecy maintained
in connection with any Of the petit
tons filed by Kenosha county candi-
dates seeking nomina tons from any
of the parties as Attorney General
Sturdevant, of Madison, has handed
down a decision to the effect that
every resident of the state or county
has the right to examine any papers
filed by candidates. He has gone
further in that he gives it as his
opinion that the secretary of state or
any county clerk may be com PEELED to
make certified copy of any petition
or petitions by the payment of the
regular state fee of II cents a folio
for the work.
County Clerk Crosby of this county
has made no effort to keep secret the
list of names signed to the petitions
presented by the various Kenosha
county candidates and he has freely
turned over the petitions to all seek
ing them. Many of the rival candi-
dates for county Offices have already
made close examination Of all petit
tons on file and some of them have
discovered much to their chagrin that
the men who they were counting on
as their staunchest supporters had
signed the papers of other candidates
for the same Office. Nearly all the
candidates in the county saw that the
other candidates would have the right
to examine the names on the petitions
and for this reason the petitions were
held down to the limit of the law.
Hundreds of people in the county
signed their names to petitions which
were never filed but were kept by the
managers of the different campaigns
for the purpose Of getting line on
the different voters in the county.
The papers now on file show PRACTICAL
~ nothing as to the strength of the
candidates as most of them contain
only few names over the number
required by law.
It is possible that at some future
time an amendment will be made to
the primary election law demanding
that the signers of all petitions be
published in the official papers of the
county in which the candidates are
seeking office.

Expensive Cloth and Lace.

AS much as $50 a yard is often
paid for gold and silver tissue-cloth
of gold, as it is called, though it is not
really Cloth of gold ut all, said a
dressmaker. Cloth of gold is made
of pure gold drawn into fine wire and
then woven by hand. Such cloth was
often used during the middle ages. 1t
is now utilized only in Sumatra. It's
cost is quite 5000 a yard.
That seems high, doesn't it? 1t is
nothing, though, beside the cost Of
lace. A court train of MORE antique
decorated with gold thread and pearls
was made in Paris for an American
lady last year at cost Of $500. To
the empress of Russia recently the
mobiles of the province of Kherson pre-
scented an ermine mantle worth $50
600. There are lace handkerchiefs
worth $4,000. Even the thread of
which lace is made comes ridiculously
high. The fine handmade thread used
in the best Brussels lace is spun from
flax grown at Rebecq- Rognon, and
fetches in good seasons as much as
$1,000 a pound"

RULES ARE STRICT
Candidates Must Conform to all
Requirements Of Primary Law
to Get Names on Ballot
MUST AGREE TO QUALIFY

Candidates for party nominations
under the primary election law must
conform to all the requirements of
that law in order to secure the pres
entation of their names on the printed
primary election ballot. This is the
opinion of Attorney General Stnrde-
want with reference to the require
ment that candidates when they file
their petitions accompany the petit
ton with declaration that they will
if nominated and elected qualify and
accept the office.
The attorney general holds that
this is necessary and legal part of
the requirements for the placing of
the names of candidates for nominal
tons on the primary ballots. The re-
quirement, he says, is mandatory.
However, the attorney general holds
that there seems to be no reason why
the declaration may not properly be
filed later than the time required for
the nomination petitions to be filed,
that is thirty days prior to the date
of the primary election.
In answer to a second specific ques-
ton the attorney general holds that
it is necessary for the candidate him
self to file the declaration that he will
qualify and accept the Office if elected
and this cannot legally be done for
him by another person.
A third question asks as the validi-
ty of nomination petitions fled with
out the affidavit of a qualified voter
declaring that he is personally ac-
quainted with all the persons who
signed the petition. The attorney
general holds that this requirement
in the law also is mandatory and that
it must be complied with or that the
petitions are not valid.
In answer TO fourth question as to
the duties of the county clerk in maxi
ing up the primary ballots, the attor-
ney general holds that the county
clerk must determine the suficiency
or insufficiency of the petitions filed
and he must place on the ballots only
the names of those candidates whose
petitions are proper, sufficient and in
full compliance with the primary
election law.
Failure Of the appearance of any
candidates from any political party
does not, in the opinion Of the attor-
ney general, create vacancy to be
filled by a political committee. Such
vacancies occur only alter the prim-
airy election is held. Failure to com.
ply with the law with respect to the
requirement of presentation on petit
tons from certain percentage of
precincts Of district also operates
to keep a candidates name off the
primary ballot.

leased. It is not known what DISPOSE
ton will be made of the case.

BY HIS OWN HAND
w. 2. Kennard. Well Known in Keno
sha, Dies Suicide in the East


Society circles in Kenosha have
been shocked by the receipt Of letters
from New York stating that w. p.
kenaard, formerly we'll known here
and former summer resident Of Ke-
nosha, had committed suicide at
Cazenova, New York. The Kennards
had resided in the East for the past
two years and an eastern paper in
speaking of the death Of Kennard
says
William Parry Kennard, whose
sudden death, Sunday, July %, at
Cazenovia, N. X, occasioned by his
own act through the unbalancing of
his mind from i'll health, overwork
William Kennard, one Of the founders
OF the great jewelry store of B;ge1ow,
kennard & Co., and Philena Hubbard,
and nephew of the late M. p. Ken
nard, twice United States assistant
treasurer at Boston and we'll known
socially and as an art amatuer here
abouts.
Mr.. Kennard was born in Boston,
September Is, 1868. He was educated
in the English high school and Massa-
chusetts Institute Of Technology,
where he graduated as an expert in
the manufa cture Of textile fabrics.
He was at once engaged by the
United States Bunting company at
Lowell, Mass, where he remained
until his health began to fail. He
then became uperintendent Of the
Oswego Falls Mills, at Fulton, N. Y,
at the early age OFFS.
s'His strong nervous temperament
and his enthusiasm for his work soon
caused him again to over exert him
self and he was once more com PEELED
to withdraw.
For time he was secretary Of the
United States Sugar Refining Com
pany at Waukegan, Ill, and later
moved to Chicago, where he remained
until the simmer of 1900, when he
went to Auburn, N. Y /, where he es-
tablished beautiful home, known as
Kenwood farm. Here he maintained
model farm upon a business basis.
He was twice married; in 1889 to
Miss Alice Miller, of Sterling, ILL.,,
and in 1891 to Miss Delfna de Castro,
of Waukegan, who with two sons
survive him.

Reports from City and County
Show Storm Thursday
did Great Damage
WALLS ARE LEvELED BY WIND
Several Buildings in the City in Course
of instruction Damaged While
Many Trees are Blown Down
aused by Wind and Rain

Reports from different parts of the
city and county show that the rain
storm which struck Kenosha Just
after one O'Clock Thursday afternoon
was ofie of the most severe storms of
the killd ever known in this section Of
the state Reports show that the
heavy rains We're general throughout
Kenosha county and farmers are
complaining on account of damage
|dope to the corn and other standing
grain.
III the city the storm was most Sc
we're aud path of distraction was
left behind. In all parts of the city
big trees were torn down or twisted
out by the roots. Last night a trip
about the city revealed the fact that
more than forty trees had been blown
down. Some Of them were famous
old trees, among the number being
the great vine covered trees on the
lawn of John T. Yule on Park avenue.
While the rain fell for considerably
less than an hour, it is stated that
there was more than an inch and a
half of rain fell during this time.
Sewers in all parts of the city were
taxed TO their capacity and in some
places the sewers were not large
enough to carry off the water. Base
ments and cellars both in the bust
ness districts and the resident dis
tricts were filled with water and con-
siderable damage was done in this
manner.
The heavy rain was attended by a
high wind constantly shifting its di-
rection and at times by brilliant dis
play of lightning. The greatest dam
age in the city was at the new build
ing being erected by Alfred Bounsall
on Salem avenue. Here the heavy
fall of rain washed out part of the
foundation of the new building and a
portion of the walls fell with a crush,
causing damage of several hundred
dollars. The storm also played havoc
with the new building of the Badger
Brass Company and the building Of
the Frost company was slightly dam.
aged. Minor damage is reported
from all parts of the city where build
ing was going on. The operation Of
the Kenosha Electric Railway was
interfered with for some time during
the afternoon on account of the fact
that several. large trees had been
thrown across the tracks.
| Out in the county the damage was
even greater than in the city. Farm.
ers coming in from Pleasant Prairie
and Bristol declare that great damage
has been done to the corn crop. In
many places the corn was torn out Of
the ground and nearly every field Of
corr in these towns of the county was
1eveled. Considerable damage was
done to the garden truck in gardens
about the outskirts of the city, to-
mato plants being torn down anC
ruined.
/ The weather man seems to be of the
opinion that the rainy season is about
over and the prediction for Saturday
and Sunday is for fair weather with
warmer temperature.

CANT FIND HORNING
Son of Paris Farmer Who Formerly
Lived in Michigan Cannot Be Located

Lived in Michigan Cannot Be Located
Persistent efforts are being made to
find some trace of Martin Horning, a
son of Phillip Horning, farmer we'll
known to people of the town of Paris.
Mr.. Horning left this county some
four years ago and had been working
as an engineer at Muskegor, Mich,
but he left that city and went over
into Ohio to work, later returning to
Michigan. Since that time no trace
of the man has been found. He was
one of the owners of piece of prop
erty sold at sheriff's sale on last Sat
urday, and his share Of the purchase
price of the property will probably
be paid into the Circuit court pend
ing the discovery of his whereabouts.
Horning always kept in touch with
the members of his family and for
this reason it is feared that he has
met with some accident.
