The Indian Athlete.

Uneasy lies the head that wears q
wreath won on the athletic field. There
Is no feat possible for any man that
some other man will not risk his life
to excel Hayes won the Olympic
Marathon by a narrow margin, and
the next best man that day, Dorando,
outran him on another trial. But Do
rando had to yield a few days later to
Longboat, an Indian runner who owes
the very best that is in him TO the
game. The Indian went into the inter-
national Marathon last summer with a
record that called for better fortune
than his pitiful collapse in the TWEEN
tieth mile.
Longboat comes of a race noted for
swift and hardy footmen. To ''run
like an Indian was enough to make
white athlete famous in the early
American settlements. The trick was
not altogether matter Of high speed,
but of covering long distances across
country and coming out as fresh as
Longboat showed himself to be from
his twenty-sixth mile at Madison
Square Garden, when his competitor
lay in a collapse. The whites long ago
set themselves up as schoolmasters for
the red men. Mr. Savage must be civ
ilized. Perhaps his time has come to
teach the overcivilized whites some
things which, after all, ennobled his
savage simple life

GIFT FOR F|REMEN
Thos. B. Jeffery Contributes $500
to Firemen's Pension Fund
as Recognition Of Service
LOSS ON RESIDENCE. $4,000

The pension fund Of the Kenosha
Fire Department received a generous
Christmas present this morning in the
way Of a check for $500 from Thomas
B. Jeffrey. The check is sent il. recog-
milton of the good work that is being
done by the department and particu-
larly in recognition of the efforts of the
firemen at the fire at the residence of
Mr.. Jeffrey a week ago last Sunday.
In his formal report to the department
Mr., Jeffrey places his loss from the fire
at $4,000 and accompanying the state
ment of the loss he sent the check and
the following letter which is greatly
priced by the department. The letter
follows:
Mr.. FL. A. Isermann, chief of Keno
sha Fire Department:
Kenosha, Wis:
Dear Sir
/ am returning herewith the blank
form which you mailed me to fill in, be-
ing report Of the fire at my house on
the 10th, and take this occasion to COM
pliment you and your men on your
promptness in reaching the house and
your efficiency in extinguishing fires in
Kenosha generally, particularly on the
occasion referred to above.
Some tangible form Of recognition [
feel is deserved and think that no bet
ter way can be found than in making
a donation to the fremen s pension
fund, which I trust will meet your
approval.
| am therefore enclosing herewith
check on the First National Bank of
Kenosha for $500, payable to the treas
urer of that fund. I trust that you
will see that this is properly applied
and that you will also convey my
thanks to the fremen for the very salts
factory work which they did for me-
Yours Very Truly,

Executors Of The Late ]. [. Stew.
ems Will Get Strange TeIe.
grams From the West
SEEK MONEYFROM EXECUTORS
Although Stevens Left Here With
Plenty of Money kilograms State
'a That He is Without Money
or Tickets

A series Of kilograms which seem to
make up daring effort to swindle the
executors of the estate of the late J..
I. Stevens of this city out Of $50 have
been brought to light in the County
Court here and the mystery attending
the kilograms has not as yet been
solved. Henry f. Jordan was named
in the will of the late Kenosha pioneer
as one Of the executors Of the will and
on Monday morning Mr. Jordan re-
ceived a telegram from Hutchinson,
Kansas signed ~. l.. Stevens, Jr. =
Mr.. Jordan called on the County Court
and the other executors Of the estate
and in che meantime made an exalnina
tion and found that ]. l.. Stevens The
son of the late pioneer and the princi-
pal heir,to the large estate left by him
had left Kenosha many days ago for
California. When he left here he is
known to have Z carried more than
ST, 200 in drafts and sufficient amount
in currency to take him across the
continent. Mr.. Jordan at one wrote a
letter to Mr.. Stevens, sending it to
Hutchinson, Kas., but ON Tuesday
morning he received a more urgent
telegram asking for cash and Stating
that Stevens was without money and
tickets in Hutchinson The telegram
was answered. but mo reply was receiv-
ed to it until late in the evening when
a message was received signed as be-
fore in which it was stated that the
sender had no need of the money.
This message came from a point in
Arizona. 4e ID 81 30 l47oa
In the meantime Mr.. Jordan had sent
another letter to Hutchinson and it is
certain that neither of the letters could
have been delivered before the third
message tWass sent No further news
Of Stevens or the people impersonating
him has been received. The county
judge was asked to take up the matter
in conjunction with the executors and
as they believed that Stevens must
have been well supplied with money
if he was at Hutchinson they decided
to await developments, it being the
opinion Of all of them that some dar-
ing swindler had become aware of the
name of the executors and had sought
in this way to swindle the estate out
Of some money. The only other So
luton of the messages seems that
Stevens must have been the victim
of a robbery enroute to California and
that he was stripped Of his funds and
left stranded in Hutchinson. Stevens
left here so long ago that he should
have been in California several days
ago and for this reason the men in
terested in the affair seem to be CON
WINGED that the sharpers who attempt
ed to secure some easy money abandon
ed their plan and fearing that efforts
would be made TO apprehend them had
some Of their confederates send the last
telegram from Arizona to stop any
further investigation of the case
Notwithstanding this the executors are
making an effort to reach Stevens in
his own proper person and get at the
real facts in the case.

Power to Executive Elbows.

1t is generally conceded by review
ers Of the great struggle between the
states that a strong man in the White
House in 1860 might have. saved the
country from civil war over the slave
controversy. Lincoln took the heIn in
1861, and the guns Of Sumter forced
him to act vigorously. For four years
he kept doing things 10 back up the
bold Initiative he had taken the mo-
ment the flag was fred upon Since
that era the demand has been steadily
growing for executives OF strong per-
sonality. Even governors who will do
things are wanted, and the most stir
ring elections in the states often turn
upon the personality Of the candidate
for. governor rather than the claims Of
party. .0
A writer instle Atlantic Monthly takes
the ground that the old school theories
of government have been overthrown
and the tendency today is TO hold
presidents and governors responsible
for what legislators do or fail to do.
While executive aggression" is some
times condemned, it is also highly ex-
tolIed and by the very same voices.
In the long run the executive who de-
votes his energies solely to the good
Of the state has the support of the
masses, for at heart the people are
not partisans They want some sort
of program put through and look to
the man at the top to do it.

When the Turkish constitution Of

provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Whether Turkey will now be decent

The practice Of scattering packages
Of medicines about the city where they
are liable to fall into the hands of
children is form of advertising that
is not permitted in many cities and
should be stopped here at once and for
all time. The poisoning of little girl
Monday by medicine found in an ad-
vertising package is not the first case
OF the kind that has happened in Ke-
nosha by any means and every effort
should be made to make the parties
who distributed the medicine suffer
some penalty for their carelessness
which is nothing less than criminal
The Supreme Court has held that a
saloon keeper is responsible for the
acts Of his agents in selling liquor to
minors whether or not he has given
orders to them to obey the law and the
court might hold the manufacturers of
these patent medicines liable for dam
ages for injuries to children caused by
the carelessness of their agents in
throwing medicine about the streets
where the children can get hold Of it.
The managers of these medicine con
Germs would soon abandon that form
Of advertising after they had been
mulcted in civil action once or twice.

Whatever credit is due for the work
of the Humane Society in this county
and the head officers of the Wiscon-
sin society say that the report from
Kenosha is the best from any county
in the state outside of Milwaukee
is due entirely to one man, j. H.
Karnes, the Kenosha county agent.
He has carried the whole burden of
the work on his own shoulders without
any financial assistance and with
mighty little sympathy and encourage
ment from the other members Of the
society. This Indifference is not at all
to the credit Of the people Of Kenosha
but there are signs that they are be-
ginning to better appreciate the work
that has been done by the society or
rather by Mr.. Karnes and that they
are going to take more interest ia it
in the future.

A Double Barreled Torpedo,

One of cur naval commanders has
invented torpedo which may do
more mischief to an enemy's battle
ship than one Of those "all big gum
Dreadnoughts we are launching. This
new torpedo shoots twice, so to speak
that is, it makes two holes instead
of one in the target Theoretical
ly the old torpedo would rip a hole
in the side Of warship and let in wa
ter enough to sink her As rule.
however, torpedoed ships have kept
afoat until the repair shop made them
as good as ever
The shell OF a big gun will do more
damage to a warship than any torpe-
do, provided it explodes inside the
vessel, say in the engine room or mag
azine. But shell may pass through
a vessel, leaving only two small holes
and a few wrecked things in it's wake.
The torpedo which becomes the ex-
elusive property Of the United States
because an officer in service devised it.,
will smash a big hole in the arlnor
where IL striEqs and at the same time
project shell carrying a fuse timed
to explode it at any desired distance
