HAD HIMSELF BLACKLISTED.
Unfortunate Making Desperate Eff
fort to Reform.

That all who became degraded
through the evils of drunkenness do
not wish to remain down was shown
by a case which occurred in this city
yesterday. At the morning session of
police court the only prisoner was a
man under middle age and whose
name need not he given. He had been
thrown in for being drunk and he
had the remorseful feeling common
on the morning after" The feeling
was further strengthened by visit
from "A woman, doubtless wife, or
sister, just after the court session.
AS a result of his reflections the
man decided to cut out the flowing
bowl in the future and to aid him in
his resolve he asked Chief of Police
Waters to blacklist him. Consequent
ly the officer and the fellow visited
all of the local saloons yesterday and
at each place notice was given by tho
chief that no more liquor should be
sold to the drunkard, or arrests would
follow.
Today the prisoner of yesterday has
been walking, the streets a sober man
for the present, at least.

MUST STAMP GOLD JEWELRY.
Public and Honest Dealers Benefited
by New Law,

Royal NJ. Sawtelle has received no.
tice from the National jewelers.
board of New York, of the passage of
the silver and gold stamping act by
the last session of congress.
The provisions of this law are such
that it will work almost a revolution
in the jeweiry business and will be
highly beneficial to the public, and
also a protection to honest dealers.
The new law requires that all gold
jewelry be stamped with the particu
lar fineness OF the metal, and that all
silver so used be designated as
Sterling" or "coin." The latter has
been done for some time, and so the
clause regarding silver will have lit
tie effect. However, manufacturers
have never been required to stamp
gold articles, and as a result the
public has had to rely entirely on the
integrity of the jewellers when pure
chasing goods made from that metal.
In the past New York has been the
only state prohibiting manufacturers
from stamping gold jewelry as finer
than it really is, so there has been
abundant opportunity for fraud in the
other states,
The new law has been approved by
the president, but will not go into ef
feet until next July.

THE great mass of people who are
neither members of the Civic Fedora
ton nor closely associated with the
men whom the Federation is attack
ing are watching the latest develop
ments in the campaign for the en-
forcement of the law very closely.
While there is no disposition to pre-
judge anybody and every man is pre-
sumably innocent until he is proven
guilty there is a very general feeling
that if any of the men sworn to en-
force the law have been giving out
information of proposed raids, their
offense is much more serious one
than that of the parties they we're en-
deavoring to protect. The original
case is merely an offense against the
law, the other makes the law farce.

MUST PAY POSTAGE
Post Office Will no Longer For
ward Letters and Parcels
Without Full Postage
co TO DEAD LETTER OFFICE

Changes in postal rules make ii
even more necessary than ever be-
fore to attach the required amount OF
postage to mail matter.
Under the postal laws first class
mail matter pays cents an ounce, or
fraction thereof. Any letter bearing
2 cents in postage stamps is for
warded to its destination, though it
may weigh over one ounce, but upon
delivery the person to whomait is sent
must pay the deficiency,
Mail of the second, third and fourth
class is not sent out of the mailing
office unless the full postage is paid
with stampssattached.
For manyl years the rule has been
that where a letter has been mailed
without spostage the postmaster was
required to send out a card furnished
by the government for that purpose,
to the person to whom such letter is
addressed, stating that letter ad-
dressed to him or her is held for post
age and requesting that the card be
returned with the necessary postage
in stamps, stating the amount, when
the letter will be forwarded to the
addressee.
The same card is used in the case
of third and fourth class matter
mailed without postage or without
sufficient postage. Thousands of let
ters have thus been sent to their des-
tination by every postoffice.
But this rule has been suspended
and hereafter when a letter is mad.
vertently mailed without postage it
will be sent to the dead letter office
unless the party m ailing it has placed
his return card on the envelope, in
which case it will be returned to the
writer or he will be notified.
In the case of third and fourth class
matter the rule will be the same.
1t therefore behooves all patrons OF
postoffices to be very careful not to
mail letter without placing the nee
essary stamp upon it, or matter of the
third and fourth class without placing
all the postage on it that is required,
and that can only be determined by
weighing it.

in length. Al time Of that kind the
less said the better. Few are con-
cerned other than the immediate FAINT

DON'T KNOW GLOVER
Sister of Long Lost Brother Who
Claimed Estate of Nancy
Glover Don't Know Him
STRANGE MIX up In WILL CASE

The mystery connected with the
claims of Charles Joseph Glover, of
Chicago, for portion of the estate of
Nancy Glover, who died recently in
kenosha, is growing. Two weeks ago
Glover sent an attorney to Kenosha
who filed a protest against the adj
mission of the will of Nancy Glover
claiming that at the time of her
death Miss Glover was not aware of
the fact that she had brother living.
To the court the Attorney, Seth
Crews of Chicago, admitted that the
brother disappeared from home many
years ago and that for the past TWEEN
with his sister or other relatives.
On Sunday afternoon Charles A.
Tarbell, who drew the wi1l~of Miss
Glover, received telegram from Mrs.
Mary A. Backus, another sister of
Miss Glover, who resides in Seattle,
in which Mrs. Backus stated that she
did not know the man who claimed to
be her brother. As soon as the pro-
test to the probate of the1will was
filed the executor sent letter to E.
H. Smith, of Lisbon, who is named as
legatee under the will and enclosed
a copy Of the document filed by
Glover, the alleged brother. This
was a once forwarded to Mrs. Backus
and her telegram was the response.
The men in Kenosba who are In
foreSfad IN +bo will ha1iavo that +horo
will be some very interesting develop
ments in connection with the matter
and some of them go SO far as to
assert that the Chicago man is no con-
nection of the Kenosha family but
finding that Miss Glover had left an
estate he thought he would make an
effort to get at least part of it. No
date has as yet been set for the hear
ing of the objections proposed by the
Chicago man and it is thought pos
sible they will be withdrawn.

TO MAKE A REPORT
Statistics Of Child Laborers in
kenosha County Now Being
Prepared for State Bureau
NEW LAWS TO BE ASKED FOR

County Judge r. Fl. Slosson of the
County Court, has received a letter
from the State Bureau of Labor, ask
ing that he Immediately make out and
send to the bureau a report of the
number of permits issued for child
laborers in this county during the last
two years. Kenosha is one of the
most important cities in the state
from child labor standpoint, and the
recent reports of the Census Bureau
show that this city is second only to
Milwaukee in the number Of child
laborers employed.
During the past twelve months the
State Bureau of Labor has been MAX
ing special study of the child labor
problem with the view of asking for
new laws at the coming session of the
legislature. The import of these laws
has not as yet been given to the
public, but it is understood that an
effort will be made to have a law
passed which will make it i'm possible
for children under fifteen years of age
to work in the factories either in
vacation times or during the other
months of the year.
Some effort has been made to have
the Bureau demand a law increasing
the age for working without permit
to seventeen years, but it is not
thought that this will be attempted.
Many ofsthe new members of the
legislature have already expressed
themselves as being in favor of
changes in the child labor laws and
the National society which is working
against the prevalence of child labor
has flooded the state with literature
on the subject.
It will take several days to compile
the report from Kenosha county, but
when it is completed 1t will be very
interesting document. In the past
two years factory inspectors have
given much time to Kenosha, and
many prosecutions for violations of
the present child labor laws have
been made IN the local courts.
