FARMERS IN UNION
Meeting at Baraboo Promises to
Bring About Strong Alliance
Among Farm interests
KEN0SHA FARMERS ATTEND

A number Of farmers from different
parts of Kenosha county are in attend
ance at the convention of the Ameri-
can Society of Equity, which is now
in session at Baraboo. The society is
practically a new one but the influence
that it will exert on the produce mar
ket of the country is incalculab1e, if
the org anization. grows as its members
believe it will. Dispatches from Bara-
boo state that over 100 delegates are
present and that the interest being
taken in the movement is really re-
markable. The society is composed
of farmers who have banded together
to secure uniform and just prices for
their products and indications are that
it will spread to all parts of the
country ..--.-----~~---- ------
The object of the meeting is to con-
troll the supply of all products till
the markets are ready for it and in
this way bring to the producers all
the benefits that are derived by others
from storing vegetables, fruits, eggs
ohO Liz Inv al q AAiAAC VI oliO
low prices for time of scarcity and
high prices. It is distinctly stated
that the new organization is not to be
a trust, but it is proposed to elinni-
nate the individual as a. marketer of
his products and market them through
the association, though they may
reach the consumer ultimately
through the same channel as now.
With the new system in vogue there
will be no 10 cent eggs in the summer
and so cents in the winter. But only
enough eggs will be marketed during
the harvest season to supply the de-
mand at a fair price. The balance
will go into storage for the producers
account, or in store houses owned by
the producers, and will come on the
market in the winter at about Is cents
a dozen. The uniform and moderate
prices will induce much larger con-
sumption.
With apples it will be similar. The
time when growers get $1.OO a barrel
in the fall and consumers pay Sc. 90 IN
winter will be past, and so on down
the line on other products.

SECRETARY OF STATE HoUsER has
not yet felt himself called upon to re-

Commissioner Host also has failed to
inform US why he has not stepped for

until now, Notwithstanding that the
transactions to which the charges re-
fer took place three years ago. Both
officials are among the most promi-

THE announcement of w. d. Connor
of his intention to become a candi-
date for the nomination for lieutenant
governor at the coming primaries
was received with considerable sur
prise among the politicians ia Keno
sha. It was not thought that Mr..
Connor would be satisfied with any
thing less thsn the nomination for
governor, and the fact that he has de-
cided to run for the second place on
the ticket has altered the situation

paigner, and if he goes into the COM
ing campaign with his accustomed
vigor it is likely that he will upset
some calculations.

AS matter Of fact Secretary Of
State Houser stands in about the
same position and is no better before
the law than any Milwaukee alder
man or supervisor charged with at
tempted bribery and it would be a
good thing for the state of Wisconsin
if his case was handled in just the
same way as theirs have been. Mr..
Houser proposes to wait and make his
explanation to the voters but ia the
light of the facts as they appear it
looks as if court of law should pass
on that explanation first.

Chicago Sewer Contractor Anxious to
Secure Settlement of His Account

Chicago Sewer Contractor Anxious to
Secure Settlement of His Account
NJ. H. McGovern, of Chicago, who
had the contract for the sewers built.
in Kenosha during the past year,
came to Kenosha on Thursday to
make another effort to secure the pay
ment of his bill for extras, and it is
stated that he has offered to arbitrate
the bill. The committee to whom the
bill was referred has made no report,
and it is stated that no report can be
made until the council takes some &C.
ton to settle as to the acceptance of
certain of the sewers.
1t is possible that the matter WILDE
taken up al the next meeting of the
council. It is probable that the bill
presented by McGovern will be cut to
less than one-half the original
amount. The original amount was in
the neighborhood of $1,000.

Show Sign When Mail Is Left
The following notice has been re-
ceived at the postofice applying to
the collection of mail by the rural car
riers. 1t is the intention to save much
time to the carrier as well as to aid
the patron in determining when there
is mail in his post box without having
to go to the box and examine it. 1t
will be of special service to those liv-
ing back some distance from the
highway:
ITO Pastmasters: On and after
July l, 1906. patrons of the rural de-
livery service will be required to dis
play signals on the box when they
have mail in them for carriers to col
1ect as after that date carriers when
serving their routes will not be re-
quired to open and examine any mail
boxes except those to which they
have mail to deliver and those en-
which Signals are displayed to indi-
cate there is mail for carriers to col
1ect. Those patrons whose boxes are
not provided, with signals must attach
thereto some device which when dis
played will plainly show passing car
riers that there is mail to- be collected.
It is not necessary that such device
shall be complicated or costly; very
simple arrang cement will answer the
purpose. Carriers must lower the
signals on boxes after making collec-
tons provided no mail is left therein,
and must display the signal when they
deposit mail for patrons unless the
patron shall make request to the
contrary"

THE minute a property owner puts
up low fence on his corner to keep
the people from cutting across the
curb the town vandals look upon it as
personal affront and proceed to tear
it down Immediately. It is pity that
the Kenosha public could not display
little of the spirit shown in some of
the smaller cities between here and
Chicago. There is intense rivalry be-
tween these cities to secure the sum
mer homes Of wealthy Chicago people
which makes the beauty Of their
streets aud parks their principal as
set, and, one and all, the regular resi-
dents of ali these cities unite to pro-
tect and care for the shrubs and
flowers set out in the parks and along
the curbs Of the principal streets BY
public spirited citizens. When a Ke-
nosha resident rides along one Of
these flower bordered streets It makes
him wonder how long such an inn
provement would last in his own
town.

Michael Hensgen Falls on a Defective
Sidewalk and Suffers Severe Bruises
County Agent Michael Hensgn,
suffered severe bruises Thursday
afternoon when he fell on defective
sidewalk. The walk in question was
in front of the Kenosha creamery
building on Exchange street. Mr..
Hensgen was walking along the side
walk with a friend when one of the
men stepped on a loose board and
Hensgen was thrown heavily. His
face and hands were badly bruisnd
and he was badly shaken up by the
fall. Fortunately no bones we're
broken. The street commissioners
should see to it that this walk is
either repaired or new walk built at
once.

President Frost of the kenosha
Electric Line Tells Committee
He Will Duplicate Offers
TO PAVE 20 FEET WITH BRICK
Will Build Any Kind of Bridge the
City May Demand Over the Kenosha
River, and Will Give Local Serv-
ice For Ashland Avenue

"A. Y. Frost, president OF the Keno
sha Electric Railway company has re-
opened negotiations with the city for
the use of Ashland avenue for the ex-
, tensions of the lines of the company,
and he has informed Chairman James
O'Brien of the special committee on
street railways, that he will duplicate
! the offer made by the Chicago, Keno
sha, Milwaukee and Lake Geneva
company.
Frost has stated that he will meet
the city half way in any proposition
that is reasonable. Alderman O'Brien
went to Chicago for conference
with President Frost in order to find
out the stand he would take before
making any further advances to the
Kenosha and Lake Geneva line
managers. Frost declared that if the
city insisted he would consent to
macadam the entire length of Ash
land avenue and that he would build
a suitable bridge over the Kenosha
river on Ashland avenue extended.
Mr.. Frost stated that if the people
owning property on the street decided
that brick pavement was to be pre-
ferred he would consent to pave
twenty feet with brick. He did not
consent to put in the curb for brick
pavement, but it is thought that he
would consent to this if forced in
order to secure the franchise desired.
The Kenosha Electric Railway COM
pany has no power under its charter
to condemn land and if the line is to
be built across 'Tannery Flats it
will be necessary for the city to con-
denim the property for the opening
of the street. President Frost, how.
ever, stated that the company would
pay the costs of such proceedings
when they are brought by the city.
This offer of Frost made personally to
the chairman of the committee has
caused complete change in the rail-
way situation. All along the com
parv 10 is been in favor Of esta blishing
local service for the people9of Ash
this proposition in writing there is
little doubt but that it will be favor
ably considered by the eorasuittee.
Alderman O'Brien insists that, the
Chicago, Kenosha and Milwaukee
road has not shown that is has right
to consideration and he declares that
at the meeting with the promoters of
this company which is to be held to-
morrow he will insist that the COM
pany pay the city bonus of $4,000
year for the next five years. At the
last meeting of the committee and the
promoters, the chairman would have
been satisfied with So, 900, but he has
now raised the amount of his de-
mand.
There seems to be decided plan to
freeze out the new corners in favor of
the present line and it looks as if
Frost and his associates will have
easy sailing if they consent to meet
the offers made by Grover and the
officers of the Chicago, Kenosha, Mil
waukee and Lake Geneva line. 1t is
possible that the committee will have
a report at the next ouncilsmeeting
