1t is no evidence that the other fell

OVER TNU MILLION DOLLARS.

The best portion Of the excellent
speech Of Mr.. Harvie Jordan in Met
.ropolitan Hall yesterday was his warn
ing against specuiation-the trading
in cotton futures. He estimates that
already this year more than two mil
lion dollars have gone TO New York
from the South as a result OF the
losses by Southern people who have
bet on the price Of cotton. This gam
bling has been participated in by all
classes OF Southern people. including
farmers who could iii afford TO lose
their hard-savings. Last year it was
gravely urged by some business men
that farmers should hedge" by bug
ing cotton futures. This advice to
farmers to become gamblers was ia
ken by some to their cost.
Mi. Jordan truly declared that the
loss Of the money by this betting on
the price Of cotton was Of sinai i'm
port in comparison with the loss Of
character involved. When a good citi-
zen. content with fair returns upon
his labor. is converted into a gambler

Der Of a law firm in that city, but his
name is now scratched off the door.
During his fourteen years absence
he has lost his acquaintance and de-
ceived most of his former friends in
the district. He is completely ont OF

featuring and observation-disclosures of
large and prosperous district and no
longer seems to care how he might
serve his constituency. He never
was known to have a strong personal
following or many fast political
friends, and even these he has broken
with. He never settled a postohice
contest until such bitterness was en-
gendered that no compromise could
heal. He is so Indifferent and forget
full that he sometimes neglects to
send out his garden seeds which the
government furnishes until the plant

GETS SAMPLE BALLOT
County Clerk Receives a Sample of
Ballot to BE Voted at the Primary

County w. G. Crosby this morning
received from Secretary Of State
Houser copy of the primary election
ballot to be used at the election to be
held on Sept. 4. The ballot is almost
as large as some of the ballots used
under the old Australian system. It
is % inches in length and consists of
six sheets stitched together and per-
forated. AS with primary ballots used
before, each party candidates are on
a separate sheet.
On the six sheets provision is made
for candidates Of the Democratic,
National Republican, Prohibitionist,
Republican and Social Democratic
parties, while the last sheet is to be
used for non-partisan candidates.
Ten thousand six hundred of these
ballots will be needed for the primary
in this county and the work of print
ing them cannot be started until ten
days before the election. The cost of
the ballots is one Of the big items of
expense in connection with the opera
ton Of the primary law.
County Clerk Crosby is now receiv-
ing bids for the printing Of the ballots.

Ernest Bauer, Formerly of Keno
sha, Took His Own Life at
Calgary, Canada
SENDS RING AND MONEY
Man Had Deserted His Wife in Keno
sha Several Years Ago and She
Believes Story of Sui
eide Canard

Attorney Benjamin O. Sturges has
received letters from the mayor and
chief of police of the village of
Calgary, Province of Alberta, Canada,
stating that Ernest Bauer, a former
kenosha man, died at that place on
July IS as result of having cut his
throat with razor. Since the death
of Bauer the officials of the Canadian
city have been making an effort to get
trace of the relatives of the dead
man, but his wife, Mrs. Hedrig Bauer,
who is now resident of Kenosha,
when she received the news of the
alleged suicide of her husband, failed
to believe it true and nothing was
done in the matter. Mrs. Bauer later
consulted Attorney Sturges and he
sent letters to the officials of the
Canadian city in an effort to verify
the report.
The letter received on Thursday
states that Bauer had been working IN
Calgary for some time and that on
the evening of July Is he was found
IN his room with his throat cut. A
razor laying by the bed told the story
of the tragedy. The remains of
Bauer have been buried in the Cana
dian city and Attorney Sturges has
been notified that on the day before
his death he turned over to the officials
a heavy gold ring and $40 in money.
He requested that the ring be sent to
his wife as a last remembrance and
that the $40 be turned over to some
one for the support Of his two child
rem.
Bauer was formerly well known in
Kenosha and was member of a
prominent family. Some years ago
he left Kenosha leaving his wife and
children behind and his wife, charg-
ing him with desertion, had made
efforts to locate him. Some time later
she received a letter from her hus-
band stating that he had steady work
at Ashland and that he was ready to
provide home for her and the child
rem. Mrs. Bauer refused to go to
Ashland as she stated that she feared
that her husband would again desert
her and she would bez1eft ia a strange
city without money or friends. Bauer
had not asked his wife TO join him. in
the Canadian city and in fact the wife
was not acquainted with the fact that
he was in Calgary until she received
word of his tragic death.
Bauer was AZ years of age and a
laborer. He formerly lived at 276
Jay street, but after he left the city
his wife and children went to live in
the town of Somers
Attorney Sturges will make an
effort to secure for the widow and
children the money and jewelry left
by Bauer, but it is not probable that
any efforts will be made to bring the
remains here for burial.

THE suggestion that police patrol
wagon could be operated in connection
with the fire department has not been
received with any great favor by the
property owners who believe that the
FIRE department should be kept at the
highest possible point of efficiency at
all times. They do not believe in
loading any side issues on the depart
ment and there is a good deal in that
argument. They say that the horses
of the FIRE department should beready
at ali time for the hardest kind Of
runs and that they cannot be if they
are used by the street cleaning de-
pattment and for police patrol duty.
Besides the patrol wagon is apt to be
needed al big fire just as much as
any of the apparatus of the depart
ment. 1t would certainly be false
economy to increase the efficiency of
the police department at the expense
of the FIRE department and il might
be cheaper for the city in the long run
to set up a separate patrol wagon with
it's own horses than to hamper the fire
department with any work outside its
regular duty.
