voters of the state to get their hide
filled with primary election before
any change is made.
The Democrats of the county have
been urged to turn out and attend the
caucuses which are to be held two
days before the convention. The

expected that the candidates for

to be getting together for the fa1
campaign, and the leaders of The
party seem to see a chance for the

the men at GAINESVILLE will get out Of
Stewards way and give him c1ea1

to be held in September.
The Republican candidates havs
not as yet taken any steps to cali ]

LETTER ANNOUNCES WEDDING

Quite a. sensation was caused in the
social circles of the North side on
Tuesday afternoon by the announce
ment of the marriage of Miss Maude
Moeller, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
| Henry Moeller, and Mr. George H.
Lauer, son of N. J. Lauer, which
took place at St. Sylvester's church
in Chicago at 9 O'Clock Tuesday
morning. The announcement of the
marriage came as surprise not only.
to the friends of the young people but
to the members Of their immediate
| families. Mr.. Lauer and his bride
had been sweethearts for some time,
IDut they had set no date for the we'd
ding and even their parents had not
been notified that the interesting
event had been planned for this sum
mer
Mr.. Lauer is employed in large
wholesale clothing house in Chicago,
but he was home a week ago last
Sunday and il is thought that the
arrang ements for the marriage we're
made by him and Miss Moeller at
that time.
On Monday morning Miss Moeller
left her home stating that she was
going to Milwaukee for few days
visit with friends and her mother
thought nothing of the occurrence as
the visit had been planned for several
weeks. Monday evening, Miss Frances
Zeitler, friend of Mrs. Lauer re-
ceived a telephone message from her
i asking that Miss Zeitler come to Mil
waukee. Miss Zeit1er left at once for
Milwaukee and the two young women
went to Chicago on the first train

Dog Carries a CHASTITY Burden
Into a House on Superior ST.
on Tuesday Evening
SEEK CLUE TO THE MYSTERY
Bones Are identified by Physicians as
Those of Human Being and Dog
Is Being Followed to Find
Where They Came From

The police of Kenosha are at work
this afternoon on a case which may
result in very sensational develop
ments, and the clue Oh which they are
working is a handful of human bones
sent to the police office on Tuesday
night by well known physician Of
the city. The bones, which seem to
be from the hand of man or from the
foot Of young man, were found in
yard on Superior street just after
O'Clock Tuesday evening.
The bones had been carried to the
house by strange dog, and just as he
was burying them on the lawn he was
discovered by the owner of the house
who promptly noticed that the bones
were of an unusual shape and size,
and called in the physician to make an
examination. The physician at once
took possession Of the bones, and de-
clared they were the bones of human
being.
The dog, which seemed to be the
only clue to the place where the bones
came from was shut up in a barn on
the premises pending an investiga-
ton by the police. This afternoon
Chief Of Police O'Hare went to the
house where the dog was locked up
and released the dog and squad of
officers are following the dog to his
home in hopes Of finding something
that will aid in the further develop
ment of the case
The CHASTITY find of the physician is
now in the keeping of the police force.
The bones are still held firmly to-
gether with pieces of the cartilage
and tits evident that they had not
lain long in the place where they
were picked up by the dog. The
police officers have no theory in the
/ case. The records of missing persons
were looked over, but there was
nothing in these records which would
aid the police in their investigation.
| 1t was thought possible that the bones
might be a portion of some I'M
fortunate who had met with an &C
cidentent on the railway, but there is
no report of an accident which would
account for the presence Of the bones
in the neighborhood.
tate hour this afternoon
nothing had been founu y s,-~nc
Gals to aid them in reaching a solu-
ton of the mystery.

THE comments of the President on
the report Of the United States Com
missioners who investigated condi-
tons in the packing houses are sharp,
but they are fully warranted by the
facts in the case. The report in full
appears in another column Of this
Issue, and no one can read it without
a feeling Of disgust. It shows con-
lc1usive1y that the heads Of this great
industry have been coming "dirty"
dollars in every sense of the word,
and while the report hardly bears out
the sensational charges of the yellow
mag azines, the conditions are found
to be bad enough to warrant drastic
action by Congress. The Presidents
recommendations for remedial 1egis-
lation are as follows.
81 urge the immediate enactment
into law of provisions which will en-
able the department of agriculture
adequately to inspect the meat and
meat food pr lucts entering into in
terstate commerce, and to supervise
the methods of preparing the same,
and to prescribe the sanitary condi-
tons under which the work shall be
performed. | urge the enactment OF
the Beveridge amendment.
The conditions shown by even this
short inspection to exist in the Chi
cago stockyards are revolving. It is
imperatively necessary in the. inter
ests of decency that they should be
radically changed. Under the exist
ing law it is wholly impossible tc
secure satisfactory results.
If inspection of meat food products
at all stages of preparation is not Sc
cured by the passage of legislation
recommended shall feel compelled to
order that inspection labels and GER
ti6cates on canned products shall not
! be used hereafter.
In my judgment1the expense of the
inspection should be paid by fee lev
led on each animal slaughtered. If
this is not done the whole purpose of
the law can be defeated az any time
through--an insufficient appropria-
ton"

WE do not know how long it will be
before the people of this town wake
mp and see to it that the saloon men
and the proprietors of beer gardens
who sell liquor to minors have their
licenses revoked, but it is certainly
time that something was done to stop
the practice. Boys hardly in their
teens, let alone old enough to deceive
the dealers into thinking that they
were of legal age, we're staggering
around more or less drunk last night,
and the spectacle of these intoxicated
children must have given the many
visitors rather poor opinion of Ke-
nosha, to say the least of it. We all
know that the liquor interest is a
mighty power in Kenosha politics,
but we venture to say that if some Of
our officials could get up nerve enough
to do their duty in this matter they
would be surprised to find number of
the liquor men backing up their ef-
forts to stop the practice. There are
a whole lot of the saloon men who are
just as much opposed to the sale Of
liquor to minors as anybody else.

ADMITS NEW FACTORIES
Zion City Opens Her Doors to Three
New Industrial Concerns

Zion City Opens Her Doors to Three
New Industrial Concerns
The first important move of the
Zion City administration since it was
decided by Voliva and his hackers to
allow outside factories to enter the
city was announced today following
a session of the business cabinet last
evening.
Three new factories have been
given sites in the city and they are to
locate their plants there at once and
start operations as soon as possible.
The largest and most important is
a concrete block concern of Chicago,
under the management of Neils C.
Jansen.
The second is a necktie factory,
backed by Chicago people, Mr..
Mullock being manager. He is also
manager of the new wrapper factory
which recently located there.
The third is piano factory, under
the management of a Mr.. Brown.
All of the factories are located on
land near the city building and
owned by the city as a corporation and
not by Dowie. The city's lease runs
for /, 100 years and the council granted
the lease to the new concerns, hence
there is no possibility of the concerns
being ousted by Dowie, Voliva, or any
other persons no matter what may
come up.
The concerns are all desirable and
will employ in all some 500 men.
The change has brought much
qualification to the members of the
Zion church who look for more work
and more prosperity as a result of the
coming of the new concerns.

Davidson, private secretary to SEN
ator S. B. Elkins, died at the Davis
Memorial hospital this week from
Bright's disease, a disease with
which be had suffered for the last
few years. About six weeks ago Mr.
Davidson was stricken with an at
tack of appendicitis of malignant
character, but was relieved by 4
prompt operation. He had almost
recovered from this when the kids
ney trouble became acute and in
spite of all treatment, uremia de-
veloped, terminating hislife.
The deceased was always so ac-
tive, participating in and enjoying
tennis, and other outdoor sports,
that friends found it difficult to-
credit his illness and subsequent
death.
The body was prepared for burial
and sent to New jersey for inter-
ment.
