DRUNKEN ANTICS ON CAR.
Man and Woman Arrested Upon Their
Arrival in Milwaukee.
(FrOm TUESDAYS Dailvl

(From Tuesdays Daily.)
Kenosha passengers on an interurban
car bound for Milwaukee early last
evening tell a story of unusual excite
ment caused by two men and woman,
all of whom had imbibed so freely
as to be unable to take care of them
selves or appreciate the ordinary rules
of propriety. The trio occupied the
smoking compartment of the car and
after getting out of the city began a.
series of lewd antics calculated to put
the other passengers in a state of ex-
element.
After singing and yelling for some
time the men decided to have some
fun with the woman, who seemed not
adverse to their antics, with the result
that barbaric condition soon prevail
ed in the smoking department. The
conductor on the car was powerless to
stop the proceedings and when a te1e-
phone was reached the Milwaukee
station was called up and ordered to
have policemen at the station to take
care Of the bunch.
One of the men, sober enough to
appreciate what this meant, bided his
time and jumped from the car while
it was in full motion, and although
it was stopped and search made for
him he could not be found and it was
concluded that with drunken man s
luck he had escaped all injury. The
other man and the woman were taken
to Milwaukee and turned over to the
police.

The postofice department accepts ex-
cuses for delays in mail deliveries on
the rural mail routes in winter when
heavy storms interfere with the work
of the carriers but delays due to bad
roads especially after notice has been
given to the patrons of the routes to
repair them are not hereafter to be ex-
cused by the department. Patrons of
some of the rural routes in this county
have had fair warning to make repairs
on the roads and if the roads get in
their usual horrible condition this
spring and delay deliveries of mail
there may be some unpleasant surprises
in store for them. There are too many
applications being filed for the estab-
hshment of rural routes from people
who are ready and anxious to provide
good roads for the carriers in return
for the service for the department to
spend much more time fooling along
with the patrons of established routes
who pay no attentio nto the orders of
the route inspectors to put their roads
in repair.

The Health Diners propose to make
a strenuous campaign to check the
epidemic Of whooping cough which is
sweeping over the city and in the
beginning an effort will be made to
correct the mistaken ideas in regard
to this disease that are held by a ma
jority of the people. Whooping cough
is commonly regarded as a childish af-
Fiction not at all dangerous to life and
Tor that reason people whose children
are suffering with it have made little
effort to avoid exposing others to the
disease and the disease is spreading
with alarming rapidity AS a matter
of fact while whooping cough in itself
may not be dangerous to life, it is Of
ten followed by other diseases that are
extremely so and as the present out
break Of the disease is in particularly
virulent form the health officers are be-
coming genuinely alarmed over the
number of deaths that are being re-
ported with whooping cough as the
primary cause and they are rapidly
getting to the point when they feel
that any measures to check it's spread
would be justified by present condi-
tions.

Independence Party, in National Convention
assembled, did these things. Our reference to
Mr.. Hearst as dominating factor was mad
vertent. We learn from the Journal, upon
the solemn authority of Mr. Brisbane himself,
who was there with Mr.. Shearn and Mr.. Max
and the rest of them just looking on that
there was not yestlge Of bossism In the con-
vention. The delegates were untrammelled;
not shackle in sight. Everybody wrote the
platform; anybody could be candidate. 1t
must have been grand sight. We wish we
had gone But, despite the complete freedom
of thought and action-compete except on the
part Of the Bryan man from Kansas, who
promptly got the hook-there was no unseen
ly wrangling. Everybody seemed to agree
perfectly with everybody else, and all went
away pleased and contented with the results
OF their unsuggested meditations and unham-
pered doings. The platform is fine It goes
little farther than Bryan's in some partic-
ulars, but is easier reading because it saws
less air. The candidates, we are assured by
Mr. Brisbane in his biggest type, are Able
Men Mr. Higsen, or Hisgen, the nominee
for President, is certainly vote-getter in
Massachusetts, and the Springfield Republican,
which is printed just across the river from
where he lives regards him with tolerant con-
sideration. Mr.. Hisgen may never become
President, but his descendants from generation
to generation will rejoice over these valued
evidences of approval seldom bestowed upon
mere man by our discriminating contempo-
rary. Mr. Higsbee indicated his line Of battle
when he returned home and the neighbors
came out and cheered. After Miss Julia
Griffin, daughter of Simon j. (not Solomon
b. Griffin, had presented a bouquet to the
wife of the candidate, Mr.. Hisgen stepped for
ward and spoke as follows:
II would not be human if I failed to re-
spond to this exhibition of good will. It is
not necessary for me to say that this is a
glowing tribute

from the boys head into his, but he
