The straw vote editor Of an evening
paper is responsible for q ludicrous error
in an effort to find some significance in
the totals on the voting machine at the
court house which Is being used to instruct
election boards and citizens on the use Of
the machine. The straw vote editor found
that there were almost two democratic
votes recorded by he machine to one re-
publican. This result was obtained by
the editor because he was not familiar with
the nature OF voting machines. rs q mat
ter of fact the machine shows almost three
republican votes to one democratic.
The error happened in this way. The
voting machine records only up to 99s
votes, then 1t goes back 10 /. The number
of votes on the republican ticket ran up to
99s several days ago and Is now recording
the second 1000, while the democratic vote
is still in the zoos on the first 1000. In

Congressman Hitchcock Is disgusting
many a decent voter by his mud-battery
and lamppost campaign, just as he did in
his contest with John L. Kennedy, whom
he besmirched with mud as he is be-
smirching Jefferis. Wherever men OF in
~telligence congregste a common topic of
conversation and condemnation Is the silly
policy Congressman Hitchcock is person
ally pursuing, that Of publishing anony-
nous interviews in his independent-popu-
list-democratic organ and pretending that
they are interviews with republicans. For
instance he has been Keeling off a lot of
this childish junk and charging it up 70
republican candidates, making them say
that there is friction in the republican
campaign, when, as a matter OF fast, he
could not attach the name OF a single
candidate TO such an interview.
While. Of course, democrats are not going
to invite Hitchcock's relentless vengeance
and come out and give their names to in

Annual Report Of Clerk of the
Circuit Court Shows Many
Cases in His Court
FEW ACTIONS NOW PENDING
Sixty-six Cases of Criminal Nature
Before the Court During the Year
1907 and Only Sixteen Are
Pending at This Time

Clerk Of the Circuit Court Frank
Waldo Friday morning forwarded to
Madison his annual report of the
statistics of crime in Kenosha county
for the year 1907 aud the years re-
port shows that 1907 was the busiest
year in the criminal annals of the
Circuit Court for Kenosha county.
Incidentally it shows that District
Attorney Baker during the year
tried more than twice as many cases
in the Circuit Court than has been
tried by any former district attorney.
At the opening Of the year just
closed there were just two criminal
cases pending and in addition to these
two the Court has had before it in the
year sixty.six other cases, Nearly
all of these cases were brought to
trial during the two terms Of the Cir.
cult Court and the report shows that
at this time there are but sixteen
cases pending and some of these
cases are of a decidedly minor nature.
Some of the defendants have disap-
peared and their bonds have been
forfeited to the county while in other
cases The charges are of such nature
that there is SO little chance of con-
viction that the cases will be nolled
when the Circuit Court convenes
again. Out of the total of thirty
nine convictions secured by the dis.
trict attorney during the year only
nine OF these convictions were made
by the jury. One criminal was con-
victed by the Court and the other
twenty nine pleaded guilty in open
Court. Twenty-Five of the mum Der
pleading guilty were charged with
felonies while eight were charged
with offenses greater than a felony.
The most interesting cases of the
year were the trial of Ted Collier on a
charge Of manslaughter and the trial
of the cases Of the railway men ar
rested for robbing railway cars. Four
alleged criminals were acquitted by
juries during the year the court dis
missed two cases and the district at
torney filed nol1es in five cases during

There was little evidence at the in
quest which would throw light on the
subject. The main witness was the
brother, Michael Stollenwerk, sand he
told straight story which was not
shaken by the cross-exam min tion to
which he was subjected. He told of
his life with his sister in the country
home, and of the solicitude she had
shown for his affairs.
He told of her illness aud chow she
had mentally failed during .athe past
few months out insisted that at the
time Of her death she was uot9insane.
He 5old Of her peculiar actions on the
night before she met her death but at
the same time he insisted strenuously
that he could never be convin ced that
she would be willing0 victim Of sui
eide.
There was pathos in the recital of
the brother and especially when he
told Of the last chapter in the life of
the dead girl. He stated that he had
called the priest to give her final
JUNCTION and that with his own hands
he had pulled the crucifx from the
wall in his room and placed it in the
hands Of the dying woman and that
ia the early light of the morning he
had lighted candle andsplaced it on
chair near the head of the dying
woman that she might die under the
benedictiou of the church. It was
the homely way in which Stollenwerk
told the story that carried conviction
TO the minds of the members Of the
jury. Stollenwerk insisted that there
had been no tramps seea about the
house and gave it as his opinion that
no one had entered the house. The
other brothers of the dead woman
were called to the stand but they
could give no evidence which had not
been given by the brother with whom
Miss Stollenwerk had made her home.
The remains of the woman were
taken back to the country home on
Thursday afternoon and funeral serv-
ices were held at the church at Paris
Corners Friday morning with inter.
ment in the family plat at the GENE
terry there.

quential stockholders.
It transpired Thursday that the
claims against the company aggre-
gate $25O,O00 and represent money

Among them is a claim of 5000, 900
loaned by ex-Sheriff James H. Gil

for which bonds we're accepted as Sc
curity.
Mr.. Gilbert was one of the clients
represented by Maj. Tolman, who
caused the road to be thrown into a
receivership. 1t appears that Gilbert
had been trying to collect the money
due his bank for several months but
without success. Finally he made a

$3.50, 900 which the comp any had raised
at this time for the payment of inter

SIMMONS MEN IN CHICAGO
Foremen at Big Plant Look Over Lines
of Beds in Chicago to Get Ideas

The foremen of the Simmons Manu-
featuring Company are took day off
in Chicago Friday looking over the
new lines of beds to be turned out by
the Kenosha company and by other
companies during the coming season
in order toget better idea of the
work that will be demanded. It is
thought proba ble' that the big plant
will be re-opened again on next Mon
day morning, but some of the repairs
that have been in progress at the
plant are not as yet completed aud it
is possible that the opening of the
plant will be delayed for another
week. The officials of the company
declare that the outlook for the new
year is good and that the plant will
be operated to its highest capacity
within short time.

Emilius Jarvis, r. Cassells, and G.. L.
L7cas. The persons, they represent
mold between $5,000,OO0 and So, OOO. 900
of the Milwaukee Electric bonds.
About $1,000. 600 of bonds are held in
= gland, also.
The three Canadians are interested
deeply IN the payment of the interest
on the bonds at this time. Rather
than have default in this payment
they have raised the $3.50, 900 needed
for this purpose, and they will make
the interest payment at once.
The Canadians, having raised the
interest money, joined President
Frost in objecting to the use of this
fund for the satisfaction of the claims
advanced by Gilbert and others.
Finally they refused fatty to allow
their money to be used for anything
but the interest payment, and there
the negotiations stopped stock still
for the greater part of the day.
After az deal of argument on the
part of Maj. Tolman and Mr.. Starr,
the attorney for Mr.. Frost,
the former consented to com promise
on all except the $4,000 claim. 1t
seems that this claim, which is note,
is surrounded by peculiar circum-
stances. Gilbert was particularly in
sistent that it be paid at once, while,
on the other hand, the validity OF the
item was contested by Frost and other
officers of the company.
After dinner served in Mr.. Dawes
Office the contrasting factions tackled
the proposition once more. Frost
agreed to the payment of the 5000
item.
