BIG DANCE FOR LABOR

More than Four Hundred Attend the
Annual Trades and Labor Ball
The annual dance of the Trades
and Labor Council was given on
Friday evening at Germania hall on
Milwaukee avenue and it proved to
be the most successful party ever
given by the 1aborers. The hall was
charming1y decorated for the oc-
casion and more than four hundred
guests gathered for the merry sport.
Music for the dance was furnished by
the Krah orchestra. At eleven O'Clock
the grand march was started and
more than two hundred masked
dancers were in line. Handsome
prizes were given to the best dressed
dancers. The dance was a great sue
cess from every standpoint.

The plan of President Frost of the
Kenosha street railway for an open
meeting to discuss the extensions of
the franchise of his road is good one.
1t will be good thing and clear the
atmosphere wonderfully for both sides
to come together and talk the matter
over in the open meeting. Mr.. Frost
does not appear to be inclined to force
the issue with the people who are
fighting the extensions and his way
Of handling the matter has already
taken a good deal of the bitterness
out Of the fight. He takes the ground
that his road can afford to wait until
the demand for service is great enough
to force the extensions and that if the
people do not want the service at this
time that the company can wait until
they do want it. He does not propose
to get into fight with any body over
the matter.

ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP
Farmers Residing North of Berryville
Have an Exciting Time Saturday


Two young farmers, John Johnson
and Frank sBrown, residing in the
town Of Mt. Pleasant, just north of
Berryville went to Racine Saturday
and sold horse, receiving 500 for
the animal. It was about o'clock in
the evening when they started home,
going up estate street, thence on
Spring street and down across the
Milmine sbridge. When perhaps
thirty rods west of the bridge they
claim that two men sprang into the
road, stopped their team and ordered
them to get out of the wagon. Instead
of obeying, Brown, who was driving,
struck the horses hard blow with
the whip and the beasts sprang
ahead.
One of the men was knocked down
and the other could not hold the
animals and they ran up the road,
urged by the application Of the whip.
Two revolver shots rang out on the
still night air and the bullets whizzed
close to the fleeing farmers. They
believe it was an attempt to hold them
up by persons who knew they had
money from the horse sale. Others
claim that two men stopped them to
get ride, but that no shots were
fired.

THE Pennsylvania railroad may
need investigating. 1t probably does
unless it is different from most of the
roads. The resolution to investigate
it, however, which went through the
house Tuesday, should have come a
little earlier or been postponed for a
time. The shot the house members
took at the road looks too much like
an attempt to get back at the com
pany for its refusal to issue any more
passes.

KENosHA is interested IN the suit

son to fear boost in rates in Keno

IT is an old axiom in law that a
plaintiff must come into court with
clean hands, but politician can &C
into fight for nomination, no mat
ter what kind of a record he has be-
hind him. It is a fortunate thing,
however, that a nomination is not
equivalent to an election, and that a
man whose reputation is VIGOROUSLY
bad seldom receives the full support
OF his party at the polls.

THE primary election law is going
to have it's first real test in Kenosha
this spring. The gang has just about
so many votes, which can be delivered
to yellow dog, if necessary, and it
remains to be seen if this solid bunch
of votes, made up of men who care
nothing for the city or the honor of
their parties, can control the nominal
tions. There is no politics in graft,
and the votes of the gang will be de-
1ivered where they will do the most
good in the different wards, regardless
of party. If the decent, law abiding,
honest people of the city turn out at
the primaries in sufficient numbers to
defeat gang control, the new law will
be indicated, but if they let the
primaries go by default and do not
takc enough interest in tie welfare of
the city to persuade good men to
stand for nominations, and then see
that they are nominated at the primar-
les, then the law is failure. If the
people go to sleep this spring they are
liable to have mighty poor lot of
candidates to choose from in some of
the wards when the time comes to
vote,

THE announcement that one big

THERE has been considerable COM
plant of late because the street cars
are not running to schedule. This is
probably due to the fact that the
opening Of the through line to the
south has disorganized the local SER
vice more or less, and when the Chi
cago and Milwaukee gets into good
running order, on fixed schedule,
the Kenosha local line will have no
further trouble in running its cars
very nearly on time.

Administrators of Estate of Late
Henry Wiesmann Will Not Push
His Many Legal Actions
FAILED TO FIND HIS WILL
Judge slosson Has Been Notified That
the Deceased Left no Will and That
His Estate Will be Probated
in Short Time

People in the western part of the
county, who have been at law with
the late Henry Wiesmann for the bet
ter part of the last ten years, are be-
ginning to take a free breath again,
as it has been announced by the heirs
to the estate of the dead attorney that
his many legal fights will be dropped
from the calendars of the different
courts of the state and county. This
announcement will mean much to
many people. In the past FIVE years
it is estimated that the deceased law
yer started no less than thirty suits of
various sorts, and many people In the
towns of Brighton, Wheatland and
Randall had spent hundreds of dollars
IN retaining attorneys to look after
their interests in these cases. Few
OF the suits were ever brought to trial
on account Of the fact that the Judge
of the circuit court had denied Wies-
mann the rigf1 to practice IN court on
account of the insanity Judgment
against him. 1t now looks asl if the
long litigation of the old attorney had
been buried in the grave with him.
The aged mother of Wiesmann and
his one sister, who are the only heirs
to his little estate, have notified
Judge S1osson that after a diligent
search they have failed to find any
will executed by Wiesmann, and for
this reason the estate will be admins
tered in the usual manner provided
by the Wisconsin law. The old attor-
ney had great mass of papers at his
rooms when he died, and he had
stated several times to friends that he
would make will, but it is supposed
that the final summons came so sud-
denly that he had no time in which to
execute will, if he had been so dis
posed.
The estate is of little value. There
was a time when Mr.. Wiesmann
counted his wealth by the thousands
of dollars, but that time passed long
before his death. At the time he
wandered away from his kon1e he had
$4,000 in a small satche1, and when he
was found he still had the money, but
it is claimed that all of it had been
expended in the fight he had made to
secure his restoration to his civil
rights. Had the old man lived to
prosecute the suits he had started,
and had he secured damages in all of,
them, he would probably have been
one of the richest men in the county,
but without his testimony none of
these suits could be prosecuted. The
papers in the actions had been pre-
pared by Mr.. Wiesmann, and as he
never confided his business to any of
his relatives the facts were known to
him alone.
The death of Wiesmann has been a
hard blow to the court officers and
attorneys in this county, as the suits
started by him have ms de rich har-
vest of fees for the cour officers and
they have forced the defendants to
seek the lawyers for aid.
1t is probable that the sister of the
old man will be named as admins
tratrix of his estate, and it is thought
that the value of the estate will be in
the neighborhood of $500.

The expose ordered by the Presi-
dent of the methods employed by an
attorney for the beef trust to influence
public opinion through the news
papers, by the bribing Of reporters,
is not going to help the case Of the
packers before the people. The fact
that the trust thinks it necessary to
bolster up its case before the public
in this underhand manner will hurt it
more than any amount of testimony
brought out in court against it.

least, if he should come out for the
nomination.
