nosha Electric R'y Co.
LAW FORCES HIM TO CHOOSE
New Law Makes 1t Impossible FOR the
City Attorney or District Attor-
ney TO Serve City or County
and a Corporation

City Attorney John c. Slater has
decided to retain his position as city
attorney and in order to do this he
has been forced to decline to accept
any further business from the Keno.
sha Electric Railway company for
whom he has acted in the capacity Of
attorney for number of years. The
city attorney has been forced to
choose between the city and the rail-
way company on account of law
enacted at the last session of the
Legislature which has now become
operative through publication. The
law governing the case follows:
An act to create section Assam,
statutes of 1898, prohibiting dis
trict attorney, assistant district at
torney, city attorney, assistant city
attorney, or any person holding a
judicial Office from being retained
bya common carrier.
"The people of the State of Wiscon-
sin, represented in Senate and AS.
sembly, do enact as follows:
"Section 1. There is added to the
statutes Of 1898, new section to read:
Section Assam. !. It shallbe unlaw-
fu1 for any district attorneysor assist
ant district attorney, city attorney or
assistant city attorney ANY person
holding judicial office to be retained
or employed by any common carrier

be retained as the lega1.representative
of the Kenosha Electric Railway Co
and will continue in my office as city
attorney. While have acted as at
torney for the Railway Company,
have taken no part in litigation where
the city was a party, and,my appear
ances have mostly been Tin damage
suits brought against the company
and in the one condemnation action,
in which | simply represented Mr..
Munroe, the head counsel for the
company"
Mr.. Slater has been acting in this
capacity practically since Sthe road
was opened in Kenosha, and there has
been considerable complaintsson the
part of some property owners on ac-
count of his dual role9as attorney for
both the city and the Railway Com
pany.
The law does not only affect the
city attorney, but also District Attor-
ney r. v. Baker and in the future Mr..
Baker will not be permitted to hold
the Office of district attorney and at
the same time act as attorney for any
public service corporation. Mr..
Baker is not at the present time en-
ployed by any company forbidden by
the new law.

ANT SEASON rs NOW HERE
swarms Of Big, Little. Red and Black
Pests Invade Kenosha


This is ant season. Big ants, little
ants, red ants and black ants are seen
by the thousands IN ali parts Of the
city. 1t is claimed that they are found
ia swarms where ants never before
thought of going. Powder, which has
heretofore exterminated them at a
rapid rate, has proven useless this
year. AS yet no remedy for the pest
has been discovered.
It is claimed that never before have
the insects gained such a stronghold
as this year. When first discovered
an attempt was made TO kill them with
prepared powder, but the ants either
deliberately walked around the pow
der or Cautiously crept over it. Ant
authorities are unable to account for
the presence Of the insects in such
numbers as they are appearing this
year.

Bees Faster Than PIGEONS.

It is not generally known. that bees
are swifter in flight than pigeons
that Is, for short distances. Some
years ago a pigeon fancier of Hamme,
Westphalia, laid a wager that dozen
bees liberated three miles from their
hives would reach home in less time
than dozen pigeons. The competitors
were given wing at Rybern, a village
nearly a league from Hamme, and the
first bee reached the hive quarter Of
a minute in advance of the first pigeon.
Three other bees reached the goal be-
fore the second pigeon. The bees were
also slightly handicapped, having been

gentleman before any intelligent person
should permit himself to hazard an esti-
nation Of the value of that marvellous col
lection. A merchant in the city, who has
large interests in Persia, smiled incredu-
lously when I mentioned the figure Of
10000, 0O0-which they are commonly re-
ported to be worth.
Personally he remarked that he very
much doubted 1t. because a good deal has
been taken out Of 1t at one time and an
other. Still, Sir Harry Jones, SO long as
1910, estimated the value of the Persian
crown jewels at 31b.000 900. while dfty-f1ve
years later Lord Pollington put them down
at between forty and fifty million pounds
sterling One marvel OF the treasure Is
thus described by Lord Curxon: Upon a
separate stand appears a globe Of jewels
which was constructed out of his loose
stones by the reigning shah at q cost

must be Of very great value, though he
commits himself to no estimate.

centered in the numerous Burns relics they
contained. Among the first Of these sold

A new electric letter and postal
cancellation machine was installed
in the Clarksburg postofice satur-
day which adds considerably to the
facility of handling mail there.
The machine takes the place of
the one that has been in use in the
postof1ce for several years and is
quite an improvement over the old
one. 1t has an automatic feeding
device and all the clerks have to do
is to place bundle of letters in the
FEEDER and the machine does the
rest. The old machine had to be
fed by hand. There are several
other improvements on the new
