PoULTNEY BIGELow whose criti-
cisms of the administration of
Panama canal affairs drew out hot
denial from Secretary Taft, has been
summoned before the senate COM
mittee on interoceanic canals to give
him a chance to substantiate his story
if he can. If it becomes the fashion
to hold this class of magazine writer's
responsible for their statements some
of the ten cent magazines are going
to be short some sensational articles
in the future.

Bath Rags.

Bath bags are rather an expensive
luxury If bought at the store. They
may be made at home, however, at
small cost. Bags Of cheesecloth are
the best. These should be made about
three or four inches square and filed
with the following mixture mot too
much should be put into each bag: Two
and half pounds Of oatmeal, one-half
pound of almond meal, one-half pound
OF powdered orris root and one-quarter
pound Of CASTLE soap which has first
been scraped to a fine powder.

WANT TIC GET STATISTICS
Union Men Offer to Pay for Blanks If
the State Will Make Use of Them


A novel proposition has been made
to the state of Wisconsin by the State
Federation of Labor, which proposes
to pay for the printing done on ques-
ton blanks which are sent out to
union men, provided the union label
be placed upon these blanks. State
Labor Commissioner J. d. Beck met
the executive board of the federation
yesterday in Milwaukee, coming from
Madison at the special invitation of
the board.
The desiresof union men throughout
the state was explained to him and he
informed the members Of the board
that under the present arrangement
the printing was done by contract
with the Madison Democrat Printing
company, nonunion firm. Following
this statement the board voted to pay
for the printing Of the blanks if Mr..
Beck could arrange to have them
printed in union shop.
It was decided to urge all union men
in the state to make complete detailed
reports of all accidents to DR.. F. A.
Harper of Madison, member Of the
state board of vital statistics. The
laws requiring all physicians in the
state to forward these reports are not
observed generally and it is felt that
the interests of the labor class can
best be served by having in the hands
Of the board complete statistics of the
accidents due to the use of machinery
and in other industrial pursuits.

Report Of the Clerk ofthe Circuit
Court Shows 1905 a Record
Breaking Year for Crime
MANY CRIMINAL CASES TRIED
Large Number of Convictions Secured
Made the Year Record Breaker
in Criminal Annals of
the. County

The statistics of-crime in Kenosha
county which have just been forward
ed to Madison, by Clerk of the Circuit
Court Waldo, shows that the year
1905 was a record breaking year in the
criminal annals of Kenosha county.
Twenty cases were taken up in the
circuit court during the year and it is
remarkable fact that.with the open
ing of the new year, the clerk had a
clean sheet with not single case
continued. The criminal docket was
cleared of all of the old cases at the
September term of the court. Some
of these cases hadS been on the
criminal calendar for more than two
years, and District Attorney Baker
decided to start the new year with a
clear record.
Of the twenty charges brought in
the circuit court, athere were con-
victions in fourteen cases. There
were three non prosequi motions
entered and two defendants were ac-
Quilted by juries. The one case left
over was that of the State VS.. Herman
Kemper and Kemper was released on
his own recognizance with the under
standing that the case would never
come uplfor trial.
The year was an important one in
the criminal annals of the county.
The district attorney had full two
weeks of labor. The most important
case was that of the State VS.. Nicholas
Schuma cher, who was charged with
mans1aughter in the fourth degree.
Schumacher was acquitted by the jury
after trial of a weeks duration. Next
IN Importance was the case of the
State VS.. Frank S. Komp, the former
president of the Kenosha State Bank
Komp. He is now serving a term OF
two years and six months in the state
prison at Waupun. A great deal Of
work for the courts was brought about
by the charges brought against Mrs.
Anna Regh, who was charged with
mans1aughter. There were four hear
ings in connection with the case, but
none of the defendants received prison
sentences.
The heaviest sentence imposed dur
ing the year was against young Ed.
Hensel, who was charged with the
daring ho1d-up of the Giles grocery
store. He was sentenced to an in
determinate term of from three to ten
years in the state reformatory at
Green Bay.
Many of the cases filed in the circuit
court found their way to the county
court on account of pleas of guilty, =
in each of these cases fines were
placed.
A list of the more important cases
during the year 1905 with the punish
ment inflicted by the court follows:
John Berg charged with larceny,
fined $25 and costs; Ben Boyd, charged
with larceny, convicted and turned
over to Indiana officials to serve an
unexpired term at Michigan City
prison; Frank S. Komp, perjury, sent
to Waupun; Edward Hense1, robbery,
sent to Green Bay; Charles Burdette,
grand larceny, sent to Green Bay
Joseph Writ, larceny, fined SIS and
costs; Dominick Unit, assault, fined
500 and costs; Anna Potts and Albert
Cranda1l, statutory crimes, fined each
$500 and costs.

DRESS HINTS.

Never dress older than you are. Dress
younger.
Velvet that has become crushed may
be restored by placing the linen side
over basin of hot water.
Make boomers of the same material
as the dress for schoolgirls. Make quite
full with elastics at the knees and
waist.
To dry damp feathers throw hand
full Of salt on the fire and hold the
feathers over, shaking them vigorously
Don't put them SO near the fire that
they will burn.
If new wash dress Is mussed, but
not soiled enough to go into the tub,
make little thin cold starch, squeeze a
rag lightly in this, brush the wrong side
of the dress first with the starchy rag,
then with your bare hand, and iron as
you go along. 1t will look like new.

GOOD MUSIC.
Its Value In the Home Is Not Suf-
ficiently Recognized.


ficiently Recognized.
There's all the attention In the world
paid, as rule, to the books and maya
zines which are left in the paths of
the younger members of the family,
but the class of music played in the
average family of culture is disgrace.
In one home, where the children are
brought up upon simplifed forms of
the classics and upon only the sweet,
pure, wholesome stories that, in spite
of pessimists, are still being written,
not one child knows anything Of the finer
types Of music. Where Shakespeare
is name known by everybody, his
plays and those inimitable stories of
his plays familiar objects upon the
library table, Beethoven has practical
ly never been heard Of
Some one has aptly called 'ragtime"
"the slang of music" and it is strange
that parents who are particular in the
extreme about the use Of slang in the
home laugh indulgently at the vigor-
Gus banging out Of impossible melo-
dies.
Ragtime has it's place, there's no de-
nying that, just as some slang passes
into the English language under the
stately name Of 'tidioms.s But it's not
the music to be the main perhaps the
only sort to be accustomed to.
Nothing develops tastes so definitely
as environments. If ine books and
pictures as well have their share in
educating and in the bringing out of
finer feelings If, in word, they are
the root Of culture surely music, that
most subtle of influences, has its share.

Gov. JAMES o. DAVIDSON still de-
clines to make formal announcement
of his candidacy for the nomination
for governor, but he also declines
to state that he will not be candidate
He will lose nothing by waiting, as
the drift of sentiment seems to be IN
his direction, and events may so shape
themselves that he can even come in
to the fight as compromise candi,
date.

INAsMUcH as the city's contract for
street lights, made with the gas com
pany in 1899, does not expire until
Feb. 9th, 1909, there is no great ne
cessity for haste in pushing the mu-
nicipa1 lighting project. There is
ample time yet for full and free dis
cussion of the whole matter, and
neither side will gain anything by
trying to rush matters.

No candidate can hope to be Sue
cessful in Wisconsin these days unless
he proposes to regulate something,
and Governor Davidson is said to be
seriously considering making his
campaign for the nomination for
governor on the issue of regulating
the insurance companies. He may
have picked winner too. The people
are certainly interested on the subject
of insurance at present.

AS THE unbiased opinion of an ex-
pert, who is in position to know
whereof he speaks, the statement
made by the Deputy Chief Game
Warden in regard to the department
under him, may be interesting. He
says "the present condition of the de-
partment for the protection of game
in Wisconsin is fierce, absolutely
fierce" We do not know exactly what
he means by ''ferce,' but should
judge his remarks to be the reverse OF
complimentary.

BIT HIS THUMB OFF
Tony Angelo Makes Serious Charges
Against Three Italians

On the complaint of Tony Angelo,
well known Kenosha Italian, Justice
McCarron on Thursday night issued
warrants for the arrest of Frank Mo-
rino, Dominick North and Joe
Ciappii, three Italians, charged with
assaulting Angelo.
The four men had been engaged in
card game at an Italian saloon on
the West side. Trouble arose over
the game and the four went out into
the street to settle their differences.
Once out in the street the three Ital-
ians are alleged to have jumped on
Angelo, and then there was a riot.
Angelo is something of a fighter, but
he was no match for the three oppo-
nents and they beat him up in a ter
rib1e manner. In some way Angelo
got his thumb in the mouth Of one of
the men and it was bitten off.

"A Hint About Garnishing Dishes.

The garnishing Of a dish has a good
deal to do with Its aDpetizing appear
ance, but there Is one hint which it
would be well for all cooks to bear in
mind-no dish should look as If it had
been fingered. The idea is repugnant
to a nice taste and takes away more
than any added prettiness could com
pensate for. What can be put to the
dish in question that may look as if it
were carelessly and easily done is one
thing. 1t is quite another If the re-
suit has the appearance Of having been
handled much.
