TO EN- TER THE FIGHT
Senator Robert N. LaFoIIette to
Weld Power During the
Coming Campaign
TO USE FEDERAL PLuMs

Believing that the integrity Of his
political machine in Wisconsin de-
ponds upon the nomination and cleo
ton Of the governor Of his choice,
Senator LaFol1ette will come into
Wisconsin as soon as the session Of
congress adiourns and will in various
ways assist in the campaign Of
Speaker i. Il. Lenroot for the Repub-
1ican gubernatorial nomination.
The senator is already pulling wires
from Washington, writing letters to
political workers in various parts OF
the state and sending for publication
telegram warmly praising the re-
cent Lincoln day speech Of Speaker
Lenroot in Milwaukee.
It is said that use is being made in
Lenroot's behalf Of promises Of fed
era1 patronage, and this perhaps is to
be an effective element in the cam
paign.
While now and then mention is still
heard of Senator Hatten, it is becoming
more and more firmly established that
the fight is between Davidson and
Lenroot for the Republican guber
Material nomination. Lenroot is
backed by Senator LaFollette and the
latter's federal patronage and Wis
consin working machine.
This patronage is small on account
of the greatest influence at Wash
ington Of Senator Spooner, but 1t is
considered large enough to Intricate
the machine at home. Governor
Davidson has practically nothing in
the way Of patronage. Before leav-
ing the state La Toilette, as COVER
nor. robbed his successor of the state
patronage by securing the enactment
Of the civil service merit law.
But Governor Davidson is backed
by innumerable friends, and 1t is
daily more plainly appearing that
the strength Of the old stalwart or
ganization, of which Senator Spooner
and most of the federal officials in
this state are leaders, will be thrown
to Governor Davidson, for the defeat
of Lenroot, even by such firm be-
lever ia La Toilette principles as is
Davidson, would be considered a
singing defeat to the La Toilette
machine.

That WAS All.

A young girl who is always trying
some new thing was present once
when the doctor set a neighbours bro
ken arm. She was sure that she knew
exactly how ii was done and rather
anxious to put her new knowledge into
practice. Some time later a hen out
in the chicken yard broke it's leg. The
girl directly announced that she meant
to set it "and make it as good as
new" Accordingly it was put into a
plaster cast and left for the proper
length Of time to knit When the day
came to take off the cast the girl ran
out to the henhouse in great eagerness
to see the result. Presently there was
a scream that brought every member
of the family to her side. The chicken
was jumping miserably over the ground
sidewise instead Of directly forward
You know a hens leg has a crook
Well, she had crooked it the wrong

CELEBRATION rs OFF
4th Of July Celebration in Keno
sha Abandoned, and Com
mittee Stops Work
HOLIDAY TO PASS UNN0TICED

| The pipe has broken again and
that grand celebration Of the Fourth
| of July, with it's bands of music and
! the tramp of marching men and all
the other accompaniment Of the
day, is off. The committee Of bust
ness men which was to have charge
Of the celebration has been disbanded
and all bets are off. The working men
Of the city will be expected to spend
the Fourth in some other city as Main
, street ia Kenosha viii, probably be as
| quiet as grave on that date.
The action of the, committee was
taken on account of the fact that it
has been discovered that Racine is to
have big celebration of the nation S
birthday, and as it was stated that the
Racine committee had raised more
than S., 900, the Kenosha men decided
that it would be useless for them to at
tempt to hold rival celebration.
The manage Of the Racine cele-
bration have kindly invited the peo-
pie Of kenosha to come to that city
making the celebration success, and
it is probable that the people of this
city will do this. The Racine cele-
bration will be in connection with the
state encampment of the Spanish
American war veterans, and an effort
will be made to make it the biggest
thing of the kind ever held in this
part Of the state.
Many of the business men of Keno
sha were in favor of a celebration
here, but the members of the COM
n1ittee were Of the opinion that the
attractions offered at Racine would so
eclipse the Kenosha celebration that
this city would get no more than a
corporaps guard.
The meeting Of the committee which
was scheduled for Friday night failed
to materalize as the members had dis
cussed the matter informally and had
decided to call the celebration off.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
celebration is off a number of inter-
esting events are being arranged for
Kenosha. There will be picnics at all
the parks ia and about the city, aud
there will be the usual Independence
day golf match on the links Of the
Kenosha Country club. The Kenosha
baseball team will play holiday games
and an effort is being made to secure
star attraction for that date.

Thought Il YVES the Hatch.

The steam schooner, a vessel whose
build and habits are peculiar to the
Pacific, often goes to sea with her
load line over her hatch" Which
means that, after her hold has been
crammed with cargo, a deck load Of
lumber is piled half way up the
masts, so that her skipper puts out
with the water washing green over
his main deck and an occasional
comber frisl1ing across his battened
matches. Along the harbor front of
Seattle runs the story Of q passenger
who loped down to the wharf IN a
hurry to get aboard departing steam
schooner. He balanced himself ON the
string piece for all instant, looked
down at what little he could see of
the laden craft, and hove his gripsack
down the only opening in sight. He
was about to dive after 1t when a
lOunger ON the wharf shouted:
Hi, thereI Where do you think
yours jumpin' to? That's the smoke
stack you tossed your baggage down. .
Help gasped the passenger. Il
thought it was the hatch"

THE SOLAR SYST EN-.
some Facts which Give an Idea OF
It's T1mmengity

ANS II1A1MGmSlIys
lii all the heavens, with the excep-
ton of passing meteors or meteorites,
not one body occupies a position closer
to earth than the moon, which is some
100000 miles away - very far, Of
course, side by side with any earthly
distances, but a mere fraction side by
side with other astronomical distances.
Next to the moon our nearest occasion
al neighbor Is Venus, and then Mars
Both Venus and Mars, however, are
often farther away from us than the
sun, which remains always at some-
where about the same distance, rough
" at from 90,O0O,000 to 90, 100000 miles.
This dividing space between sun and
earth is Of great importance Ia think
ing about the stars, and it should be
clearly impressed upon the mind.
Next to the sun in point of nearness
come the more distant planets Jupiter,
which is about five times as far from
the sun as our earth is; Saturn, nearly
twice as far as Jupiter; Uranus, near
" twice as far as Saturn, and Neptune,
nearly three times as far as Saturn. All
these planets belong to our sun, all
are members of his family, all are part
Of the solar system. The size Of the
solar system as a whole, consisting
thus Of the sun and his planets, includ-
Ing our earth, may be fairly we'll grasp
ed by any one taking the trouble to
master two simple facts. They are
these, that our earth is roughly about
100000 miles away from the sun
and that Neptune, the outermost plan
ct of the solar system, is nearly thirty

AN ODD BIRD.
The TIfvyi of New Zealand Has Some
Remarkable PecuIiarities.


That queer bird, the kiwi, is a native
Of New Zealand. It's remarkable pc
culiarities are, first, the apparent alb
sence of wings, as the plumage SO
covers the small rudimentary, stick
like appendage of wing that none
whatever is apparent. The situation
Of the nostrils at the bills extremity
is a second peculiar feature. While
hunting for earthWorms 1t probes the
soft ground, making a continual snuff
ing sound Thus the scent is evidently
Of great help in finding food and the
reason for the position Of the nostrils
quite apparent.
A third popularity is the very dispro-
portionate size Of the egg in compari-
son b the bird, 1t being a little less
than one-fourth the birds own weight.
One kiWi's egg found weighed four
teen and one-half ounces, while the
bird weighed just under four pounds
(sixty-four ounces) and was about the
size Of an ordinary hen.
The plumage Of the kiWi is a dull
brown streaked with light gray, and
the body resembles a miniature hay
shock, rather badly hacked off at the
rear cart, as nature has not provided
the kiwi with such decoration as a tail.
The absence Of wings is compensated
for by its sWiftness Of foot, and the
large, clumsy looking legs, which are
sometimes used as weapons, are placed
far back on the oddly shaped body

sharks Tell For Luck.

Attached to the extreme end of the
bowsprit q a sailing vessel there may
sometimes be seen piece Of some ma
terial that looks remarkably like leath-
er. This seeming piece Of leather IS
really sharks tail. It is placed there
because the sailors think that 1t augurs
good luck, believing that pleasant voy-
ages will be their lot while 1t remains
there. Instead of the boWsprit the tail
is at times nailed to the top Of one Of
the masts. London King.
