international Ameriean.)
From Pirtleville comes an unssaT
story Of an accidental gun discharge
with results fatal to one of the toes
Of a certain mining man of the name
Of Owens. Some Of the elements
which enter into this story besides the
sixshooter and the toe are a flask Of
whisky and bottomless pocket.
AS the story was heard over the
wires this morning Owens and his
partner were starting from the John
Gardner refreshment booth in Pirtle-
vile to their mine This Journey oc-
casioned the presence of the sixshoot-
er, likewise the flask The sixshooter
had been well anchored at the spot
where it could do service quickest If
called upon, while it was the intention
Of Mr. Owens to carry the flask in
what appeared to be a pocket. The
flask was properly deposited In the
pocket but Owens had no sooner
turned loose of 1t than his pistol was
exploded, and the pistol being pointed
downward, it had no sooner exploded
than Owens was shy one toe It is
not known whether the affected mem
Der was the big toe, or the little toe,
or an intermediate toe But IL was a
toe and is nc more
The explanation OF the accident is
that the pocket was not a pocket and
that the flask found nothing TO s,op
II until it struck Owens gun, causing
the discharge Of the weapon and the
subsequent disastrous result. =

That Douglas is in a good sanitary
condition is the judgment OF Mayor
w. NJ. Adamson, who, with Street Su-
perintendent G. G. King, made thor
ough inspection of local streets and
alleys yesterday. The mayor found
the alleys generally clean and devoid
of any refuse that might be construed
as a menace to health. At I'VE or six
localities he found conditions not sat
isfactory and he has given instruc-
ton to property owners to abate the
conditions he discovered or suffer ar
rest At each of these places IN the
past Superintendent King has done
everything aside from making arrests
that he could to make the occupants
of the premises clean up their places,
but his efforts to that end were IN
availing. Now the mayor has taken
the matter in hand and he win see
that places arc either cleaned up or
that some one tis arrested for failing
to do So.
This inspection yesterday followed
a number of complaints made 10 LIr
Adamson. He Declares after going
through the city like the operation Of
a fine toothed comb, that the com
plants made are unjustified and that
the sanitary conditions of Douglas are
generally entirely satisfactory.

Potatoes and Potato Bugs.

The county is a patato patch,
and the candidates potatoes. Now
"a potato patch is a portion of
earth and the things therein are
potatoes. Now potatoes are plant
ed in the spring, cultivated in the
summer, and dug and scratched
out in the fall. Then picked over,
and the best ones sent to the
county seat, and the ornery 0 mes
kept at home. Now candidates
are planted in the spring, culti-
waited little through the summer,
and dug over and scratched out in
the fall. Now, as we can see, can
didates and potatoes very much
resemble each other. Now there
are many kinds of potatoes. AS
we all we'll know now, the candi-
date that comes out honest and
runs a fair race, and after elected
acts fair with the people; he must
be a good potato. And the candi-
date who comes out and is elected
and then will swindle, and fail to
act fair, he is one of the old sham
potatoes. The candidate who gets

From Mr. Hillburn.

Editor Pegister--I notice in your
last weeks issue, on the patent
inside, an item which says, "The
doctrine that the government has
the right to tax one man for the
benefit of another is the essence of
Socialism. Now, Bro AXE, OF
course you are not responsible for
the contents of the patent side OF
the REGISTER, but if you, or the
writer of the above lines, will
show me scintilla of proof of the
truth of this statement from the
pen of any noted socialist will
give ten dollars to any charity
that he may name. Socialism is
founded upon even and exact JUS
tice-the justice that shall guaran-
tee to each and every worker,
whether mental or manual, the full
social product of his labor. And
herein lies the objection of the
capitalist, hence the many false
statements. Isn't one man being
taxed under capitalism for the
benefit of another? And hasn't
he been so taxed since the year
one? 1t is the old cry of "stop
thief" Why, sir, if the work
people Of this country unite politi-
cally and capture the reins Of gov
erment, and take possession Of the
industries Of this country, and
then operate them in their own in
terests dividing to every one ac-
cording to his labor the products
thereof, where does the taxing
one for the benefit of another come
in?
That is Socialism and may be
stated in these words: public own
ership and democratic manager
ment Of the industries for the bene-
| fit Of the workers. Could any
thing be more simple?
Yet "none are so blind as those
who won't see." That is the very
thing that we are fighting-the ex-
ploitation of labor. 1t is the same
age-long struggle for the products
of labor to the producer thereof.
We believe that as labor produces
all wealth that labor is entitled to
all wealth. And in order to put
labor in possession Of its products
| it is necessary for labor to own
the industries; hence we favor
public ownership.

An Appeal to the People.

| thank my friends for the recent
call which they did me the honor
to extend. A kind of emergency
call l take it, and an emergency
call, disclosing the real purpose of
those extending the call, is exact
ly to my liking. I do not hesitate
to cross swords, or shiver lance
with my friends and, if such
should become necessary, it might
be we'll that they take a fresh
horse and new lance, in which
event we may meet in the middle
of the lists and, perhaps, l retir-
ing proudly erect, yet vanquished,
and my friends equally proudly
erect, but victorious; and if in
each case we can feel the con-
sciousness OF having fought in a
just cause neither need feel humli-
alton or true reason for quarrel.
But for the present l am quite con-
tent to calmly proceed on this long
ago mapped out plan, the mean
while and all the time trusting
and resting my case in the hands
of the people. / am willing to be
misunderstood to-day if may be
understood tomorrow.

On the Liquor Question.

Good morning, Brother Johnson!
Just dropped in for chat
AS we have the ball and the others won't
bat
Now in the beginning this was not so,
For then they had liquor traffic, you know.
Now, If old Iron had done as St. Francois
s has done
We might have understood the "wets" had
won.
Now, thenO well, me might have kept
still
And have been submissive to the maiority's
will.
Since that is not so we must bravely stand
And wipe cursed liquor from the face of the
land.
Let's down that last dramshop,
Let's send her sky highl
Let's tell the good people the county is
adry."
Then from the traffic the county win de done,
There will be no way Of getting it under the
sun.
Now, as to those that resemble the swine,
read that our Savior made wine.
They used it in sacrament in an early day,
Though maybew can climb up another way.
Now, as for dramshops am no working
tool;
If SO might get to resemble the mule.
Well, doesn't it seem strange in this old
world, so wide,
That we'll talk about things with only one
side?
Now as long as your poetry runs tempered
And will allow the tempered to be free,
You will find thereis
No difference between you and me.

The Crisis of the Nation.

The wrathful fire Of God shot forth and slew
Abihu and his brother Nadab, too
In all the congregation, none stood higher,
Save godlike Moses, and their priestly sire.
Presumptuous they came before His shrine,
Intoxicated by excess of wine:
Unmindful of Jehovah's strict commands,
Forbidden fire is found within their hands.
"Drink not strong drink, nor wine when
ye come nigh
Before My tabernacle lest ye die;
That ye may put difference between
Unholy aud divine, unclean and clean"
And many more too numerous to relate
BY drink have fallen from lofty state;
OF jurists, statesmen, doctors, friends, whose
fall
Was hastened by the tyrant Alcohol.
The prime Of youth, and manhood's noble
pride
Are borne along by its resistless tide
While wives and mothers mourn disconso-
late,
The Giraffe" gloats on gains insatiate.
The appetite for drink comes unawares;
And none immune to 'scape it's deadly
snares-
Within the lethal potion dangers lurk
More fatal than the derringer or dirk.

Lawrence Joseph Kraus Drowned
in the Harbor Tuesday Even
ing While Fishing
CoMRADES.WITNESS TRAGEDY
Boy Remained in the Water for Seven
teen Minutes and Life Savers
Work An Hour in Effort
To Restore Life

There was sad ending of fishing
excursion at six clock Tuesday even
ing when Lawrence. Joseph Kraus, the
nine year old son of Nicholas Kraus.
400 York street, was drowned in the
| waters of the Kenosha harbor near the
docks of the Hill Boat Company. The
boy while attempting to catch minnow
/ lost his balance and fell into the har-
, Dor and notwithstanding the fact that
he was seen falling into the water by
!, the life savers, it was seventeen minutes
before his lifeless remains were taken
from the cold water. For more than
| an hour the members of the crew in
charge of Captain Fountain worked over
the little body of the boy, but they were
unable to. restore any trace of life in
him and the body was removed to the
Hansen morgue.
Young Kraus had attended school
Tuesday afternoon and after school he
had gone on the fishing excursion with
Richard Behnke and Arthur Hansen,
two boys from the neighborhood. The
boys were sauntering along the docks
leading out toward the end of the south
pier when young Kraus saw dead
mlnnow floating on the water of the
harbor. He reached the minnow with
the fish pole and was attempting to pull
him over to the dock when he became
so intent on the matter that he lost his
balance and slipped into the water
The two companions watched the little
boy disappear beneath the dirty
waters of the harbor and they at once
began shouting for help Men at the
life saving station and at the lookout
witnessed the accident and both men at
once went to the rescue of the boy.
When the men reached the scene Of the
accident nothing could be seen of the
body, but Surfman Jack Anderson pull
ed it up with his hook after ten minutes
search. Captain Fountain and the
other members of the crew had arrived
by this time and DIR. George Pugh and
DR.. George E. Thompson were hurriedly
summoned. For more than an hour the
life savers kept up the strenuous work
OF attempting to resuscitate the dead
boy, but it seems that he died almost
Instantly from the shock of the cold
water. Deputy Coroner Thompson call
ed jury to view the remains.
Young Kraus was the only child of
his parents and for some time he had
been sickly and this probably made him
an easier victim for the cold water
At the time of the accident the
mother Of the child was on her way to
Racine to spend the evening with
friends and she had a sad home coming
late in the evening. She was Frustrated
when she learned of the fatal accident.

LITTLE INSURANCE PAID HERE
Only $1,000 Paid on Life Policies in
Kenosha During the Year Just Closed

Kenosha During the Year Just Closed
The Insurance Press of New York
has issued its annual statement in re-
gard to the amount of life insurance
paid by the various companies in the
United States last year and this report
shows that little of the vast sums paid
out came to Kenosha. The report shows
that the policies paid in Wisconsin dur
ing 1907 amounted to- $6,682,044 and
the entire amount paid in Kenosha was
but $1,000. In. Racine the various com
panies paid benefciaries ST., 662. Not
single policy of $4,000 or over was
paid in Kenpsha city or county during
the year and the largest policy paid
was one Of $4,000. In addition to this
there was of course the usual amount
paid by the various fraternal organiza-
lions and a small amount of industrial
insurance was paid in the city.
