For fact, Senator La Toilette has
not as yet entered into Mr.. Lenroot's
campaign with the abounding energy
that has characterized his participa-
tion in previous political scraps in the
state, and the,Lenroot leaders are be-
ginning to show the strain on their
nerves. ButsLenroot is safe, anyway.
Suppose thessenator does go back on
him. He still has all those members
of the legislature who signed his
"call' to depend on, for support, and
just think what valuable assistance
they will give him if the senator pulls
out of his fight and takes neutral
position,

Citizens Are Asked to Help Newspaper
Campaign of Outdoor Art Association
The Outdoor Art Association has no
money with which to work except the
small sum afforded by the member
ship dues OF ST.. This amount is now
being used to pay for space in this
paper. The association believes that
by awakening the public to the civic
needs and possibilities in the matter of
Cleanliness much may be accom- lish-
ed. The average citizen is ready to
do his share of the work as soon as his
attention is called to it.
That general interest is being
aroused isoattested by the words of
commendation and the frequent re-
quests for cooperation which have
already come in.
The association will print, at their
expense, any article bearing on this
work which may be considered help
full. Criticism, favorable or otherwise,
is asked. Suggestions are invited.
Every citizen who has a practical,
working idea is urged to send it at
once to Fl. w. LESTER,

THE taxpayer can kick and squirm
as much as he likes but the money
demanded by the school board will
have to be raised by the city either
by bond issue or in the tax levy.
The council has no option in the mat
ter but to raise the $50, 900 demanded
if the school board sticks to its esti-
mates and as the new buildings are
absolutely necessary if all children
who should attend the schools are to
be accommodated it is unlikely that
the board will be able to find any way
to make any material reduction.

WIFE PROVED UNTRUE
Edison Robbins, Of Pleasant Prairie,
Asks for a Divorce

Edison Robbins, Of Pleasant Prairie,
Asks for Divorce
Alleging that his wife e1oped with
another man, aud that she is now
living with this man at place un-
known to him, Edison Robbins, resi-
dent of the town of Pleasant Prairie,
this morning filed in the circuit court
a suit for divorce from his wife, Julia
Il. Robbins.
The complaint alleges that the
couple were married at State Line,
New York, july &c, 1894, and that they
lived together as husband and wife
until two years ago, when the wife
eloped with another man, and that the
husband has heard nothing from her
since she left home. The address of
the defendant is not known to the
plaintiff. The case will probably
come up for trial at the September
term of the circuit court

CHICKEN THIEVES AGAIN
Coops of c. N. Fort Raided and va1u.
able Fowls Stolen Tuesday Night

Chicken thieves are at work in Ke-
nosha again and the police were noti-
fed this morning that unknown
parties had entered the coops of c..
n. Fort on Grogan street and stolen
20 valuable fowls. It is supposed
that the men robbed the coops about
9 O'Clock as two men of suspicious
character were seen about the house
at that time. The hammer which was
used in breaking open the coops and
which was left behind by the robbers
is ia the hands of the police and they
are seeking to locate the men with
this as clue. In the past month a
number of robberies Of this nature
have been reported to the police and
it seems that the old gang is at work
again.

TO INCREASE PRIVILEGES

Y. M. c. A. Directors Seeking Money for
the improvements of Bath Rooms
The bulk of the members of the
Young Mems Christian association Of
this city should be from the factories.
AS matter Of fact such is not the
case at present and anything that will
interest these men IN the association
should be given careful considera-
ton.
It has been FOUND that the principal
reason that factory employees give
for joining the association at present
is that they can have the advantages
of the baths. To the man who is well
acquainted with the organization this
is not very good reason; there are
many better ones. However, since
the men to whom the association can
really be of greatest service put this
reason it is very evident that this
part of the equipment should meet the
need as much as it is possible to do
so. At present the baths are over
crowded and the men have to wait
half an hour or more or else postpone
the event in hopes of more favor
able "chance.'
Such condition is not particularly
encouraging to say the least. Men
who wait an hour for a bath are not
apt to bring friend with them the
next time they come. In view of this
it has been determined to find out if
the members of the association and
their friends are disposed to provide
the $1,000 necessary to double the
present capacity of the baths. If you
are interested in this matter and are
ready to boost it you would do well to
call at the association building or TO
speak with some of the directors.
