HAVE Good CHANCE
Democrats of Wisconsin Believe
That They Will Carry the
State This Year
SEVERAL CANDIDATESIN FIELD

Candidates for state Offices among
the Democratic leaders who gathered at
Madison Saturday night to greet W. j.
Bryan were busy the greater part of
the time preparing for the coming pri-
mary campaign. There will be plenty
of candidates for every office, too for
many share Mr.. Bryan's belief that
this year the Democratic party will
have a chance in Wisconsin.
The most talked Of man for the nom
ination for governor, of course, was
John A. Awkward, who led forlorn
hope against Gov. James O.. Davidson
two years ago. Many inclined to the
opinion that Mr., Alyward ought to be
given the nomination again. Mr.. Ayl-
ward will have rivals, however, for
Byron B. Park, Stevens Point, and
NJ. A. Hoyt, Milwaukee, are both said
to cherish strong and growing inclina-
tions to make fight for the honor.

PLUMBERS FEAR SMALL Pox
Two Kenosha Plumbers Now in Pest
House in Racine From Disease

There are a number of Kenosha
plumbers who are little worried Just
at present on account of the fact that
they have been exposed to the dread
disease of small pox. Two plumbers
who made their home in Racine. but
who worked in Kenosha, are now in the
Racine pest house ouarantined with the
disease and it is feared that they
were in Kenosha after the disease was
well developed. The men contracted
the disease from association with a
cigar maker who had brought the
disease from Indiana to Racine. The
men who worked with the plumbers are
keeping close watch for any posi-
BILE development of the disease among
their former associates in Kenosha. The
disease is in a mild form and the two
men are in little danger.

RATES NOT TO BE CHANGED
Buildings Owned by Secret Organiza
tions Pay Old Insurance Rates

Several decisions have been rendered
recently affecting commissions to be al
lowed on various classes Of property
The arbitration committee of the
Western Union, which is practically its
supreme court, was asked for a decision
on the rate commission allowable OF
brick, brick veneered or frame build
ings owned and exclusively occupied by
Masonic and other secret orders. It
was held that they should come under
the classification Of public buildings on
which the preferred commission should
be paid. The committee renewed it's
former decision that it had no power
to add to the various classes definitely
stated in the graded commission rule
The governing committee has rem,n,l
ed companies Of the rule limiting com
missions on boarding houses to IS per
cent, some companies having become
lax in the matter of allowances. It's
decision reads as follows.
when a policy defines a risk Of this
character as boarding house, or it is
specifically rated as such by the rate
making authorities, or where the usual
hazard of a dwelling is sensibly in
creased by the number or character Of
the boarders whether transient or per
manent, it would net be permissible to.
allow exceeding Is per cent. -
/ The trouble has grown out of the diff
fculty of differentiating between reg
ular clearinghouse and the home in
which boarder or two are taken.

NEGROES MISSING
 MAY BE BURNED
HOUSE DESTROYED AT MoUL1 ON HEIGHTS SATURDAY THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN BURNED TO COVER CRIME.

Decatur October 20.-(Special.) )-Citizens residing at Moulton Heights, a suburb of the Decaturs, are of the opinion that three negroes were murdered and their bodies burned in house which was totally de- stroyed by fire in that vicinity on Satur- day morning at o'clock. Since that time three negroes have been missing from Moulton Heights and nos trace of them can be found.
 Saturday morning early a house belong ing to Mrs Elizabeth Bell was destroyed by fire. The house had been vacant for the past three weeks. At times it is said that people would camp in the house over night, and some times negroes have been seen around the house late at night. Some of the people of Moulton Heights are of the opinion that negroes frequently met there at night to gamble and drink liquor. On the night the house burned several people who went to the fire say they smelt something like the odor of burning flesh.
 The ashes of the house have been dragged but no bones were found The house. however, was constructed of fat pine timber and made very hot fire, and it is thought that if the negroes were burned that the flames would have been hot enough to consume their bones en- tirely. Citizens of Moulton Heights be- lieye that these negroes were murdered in a craps game. and that the house was set on fire to cover up the crime. On the night of the fire it is said that sev- eral strange negroes were seen around the place
