effected. Mr.. Stark's brother,

The report of the local men commits
stoned to sound the property owners of
the county in regard to an electric line
from Kenosha west to the Lake regions
will undoubtedly be very favorable to
the project as the farmers undoubtedly
want such a road built and there is lit
tie likelihood that the Kenosha City
Council would put insurmountable OBJ
gtacles in the way Of any responsible
capitalists who propose to invest their
money in line that would surely bring
trade to every merchant doing business
in the city. This is very favorable
time for such line to gain entrance
to the business section Of the city for
the feeling against Mr.. Frost is SO
strong that his opposition to the line
would have little weight.

W. R. c. Members Pay Tribute to
a Deceased Member With
Impressive Ceremonies
MISS BUCK LAUDS WOMEN

In keeping with a national custom
the members of the Kenosha Woman s
Relief Corps met at the corps hall this
afternoon to pay an annual tribute to
their dead This is the first time that
this memorial service has been observed
by the Kenosha corps and large num-
Der Of the members of the corps as
well as many of the members of the
Grand Army of the Republic gathered
at the hall to take part in the i'm
pressive ceremonies. During the year
Mrs. Martha Young who had formerly
been one of the leading members of
the Kenosha organization died in Mil
Waukee and the service this afternoon
referred especially to her life and work.
Mrs. Frank Lane, the president of the
work of the service and beautiful mu-
sic was furnished by Mrs. Herbert E.
Tanner.
The Rev. Florence Buck, pastor of the
Henry M. Simmons Memorial church,
made the memorial address and in a
brief talk she referred to the life and
work Of Mrs. Young. She spoke also
Of the noble work of the women of
the Woman's Relief Corps and of the
many charities that they take care of
in their regular work. She paid a
great tribute to the loyal women of the
nation for the great favors they had
shown to the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic in their declining
years. A memorial to the memory of
Mrs. Young has been prepared by the
members of the corps which wiz be sent
members of the corps and will spread
upon the minutes of the organization.
1t is the plan of the members of the
Kenosha corps to have an annual OBJ
servance Of Memorial Day in the future.

1t was only to be expected that there
would be considerable kicking against
the enforcement of the sidewalk ordi-
nance, but after a sober second thought
it is unlikely that any of the property
owners who are opposed to the ordi-
nance will make a test case in court.
Similar ordinances passed by other cities
have stood the test of the courts and it
is believed that it will be possible to
enforce the ordinance passed by the
Kenosha council to the letter so long as
it is enforced impartially against all
alike. The ordinance may work hard
ship in individual cases, but as general
rule it's enforcement will be mighty
good thing for the city.
The last report of the Gilbert M. Sim
mons library is the best that has been
made since the library was established
and it shows that the library is con
stantly broadening it's field of usefulness
in every possible way. From the very
start it has been the aim of those in
charge to make and keep the library
thoroughly modern and up-to-date in
every way and the report furnishes
abundant evidence that they have been
unusually successful The physical
growth of the library can be measured
in cold figures, but there is no way to
estimate the tremendous influence for
good such an institution is in the com
munity.

Property Owners Protest Against
Building Some Walks De.
manded by the City
MAY ATTACK LAW IN COURT
City Attorney Declares That the Ordi-
nance Will Hold in Court and the
City is Ordering Walks
Laid Down at Once

Chief of Police O'Hare and Edward
Tanning the city sidewalk inspector,
are having troubles of their own just
at present and it is certain that
they will be the most unpopular of
fcials In the city when they get through
with their sworn duty of serving no.
tees for the building Of sidewalks
under the new sidewalk ordinance.
Less than one-third Of the notices have
been served and the officials have been
meeting with all sorts of complications
They have ordered the building of a
hundred walks and many of the people
have consented to proceed to- the work
Just as soon as they can get a contrac-
tor to lay the walks, but others have
protested most strenuously. In some
cases there are kicks on the grade while
others insist that the walks are suf-
fciently good for the property and that
they must be for the city. Some Of
the dissatisfied property owners are
threatening to fight the sidewalk ordi-
nance in the court, while others are
preparing to demonstrate to the Coun-
Gil against the alleged injustice of the
ordinance. It is understood that deaf
ear will be turned to all Of these COM
plants by the Council and that the
aldermen will insist on the ordinance
being carried out to the letter.
The contractors for the walks de-
clare that it is impossible to get men
to take care of the work and one Of
the leading contractors stated yester
day that he had been forced to refuse
all further contracts for this season
on account of the fact that with the
men he could secure it will be impossi
BILE for him to take care Of the work
now contracted for. 'Flr / could get
three gangs of men [ could keep them
busy all the time said the contractor,
"and in fact some people are offering
a premium to get the contracts taken.
thousands Of feet of walks have been
contracted for, but it will be utterly
for the people to obey the
ordinance as it is not possible for the
present sidewalk builders to lay the
walks. J. don believe that all the
sidewalk builders on the north shore
outside of Chicago could lay the walks
in the thirty days permitted by the
Council" The records Of the city en-
gineer show that sixty nine permits for
new sidewalks have been given out dur
ing the last two weeks and this is a
new record for the city. The Council
will take no action to extend the time
for the completion of the walks, but
it is generally understood that the city
will not put in any walks where con
tracts are let.
The city attorney has carefully gone
over the several ordinances IN question
and he is convinced that it will be i'm
possible for any of the property owners
to get out OF building the walks de
manded by the ordinance.

CONNOR NOT IN THE RACE
Lieutenant Governor Announces That
He is Not Candidate

He is Not Candidate
w. d. Connor will not be candidate
for United States senator.
: Mr.. Common said Thursday night:
"You can say that at the present
time [ do not expect to be a candidate
for the United States senate"
TINS is the first and only statement
Mr.. Conner has ever made on the sub
Ject. In making it he evidently took
into consideration the wishes of some
of his most loyal friends, who have urg-
ed him to define his position so they
could be in position to decide on their
own future action.
While it may be claimed there is still
a loophole lett, there can be no doubt
that the lieutenant governor will keep
out.
AS to whether he will be candidate
for denomination for lieutenant COVER
nor, Mr.. Conner would not talk. Those
close to him say he will make an an
nouncement on that subject before long.
From the talk heard here, it would
seem that, much as the LaFollette men
dislike Conner, the tradition of the
party in giving state officials second
term will not be interfered with, if he
desires to run again.

The celebration Of the Fourth being
well under way, the usual warnings
against the deadly tetanus germ which
always follows in it's wake are time
ly md it is to be hoped that they will
be taken to heart by all those who re-
ceive any kind Of wound no matter
how trivial it may appear to them to
be. Directions for the prevention and
cure of this disease take up the greater
portion of the bulletin just issued by
the Chicago health department and if
these directions are carefully observed
there is little danger of any of the SUI
perfcial wounds received during the
celebration resulting fatally, but the
Importance of giving these wounds
careful attention cannot be too en-
phatically emphasized.
"The proper control of the Fourth Of
July celebration would prevent teta-
nus,'' says the bulletin, F'but that this
will be done would be hoping too much.
Therefore, let us prepare to combat it.
''Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by
a bacillus or germ that exists abundant
ly in street dirt, especially in and
around stables. It is inactive so long
as exposed to the air, but when carried
beneath the skin and buried in the
flesh, as in the wounds caused by per-
cussion caps, blank cartridges, rusty
nails, etc., and the air is thus excluded
the germ is reused to activity and pro-
duces the most virulent poison known.
Lockjaw is the result.
E'Fourth of July wounds no matter
how apparently insignificant, should be
attended to by physicians who will
thoroughly cleanse them and apply the
proper treatment to prevent the growth
and activity of the bacillus that causes
lockjaw. All such wounds should be
kept open to the air until dressed by
the DOCTOR"
Health officers should recommend the
use of and supply tetanus antitoxin fol
the treatment of all suspicious injuries
during the two weeks preceding and
two weeks following the rourth OF
July
Treatment Of thousands of cases
throughout the country demontrates
that tetanus antitoxin, if administered
soon-within twenty four hours, if pos
ble-after the infection of an injury
affords perfect protection from tenta
nus.

It would not be fair to say that the
president dictated any Of the speeches
made at the convention, but in some of
them, notably that Of Senator Lodge, it
was plain to be seen that the speakers
had been close enough to President
Roosevelt to catch his every trick and
turn of expression. That reference to
the third term boomers in the Lodge
speech would have been accepted any
where as having been written by the
president himself.

MADE A GREAT HIT
CharIey'!s Aunt as Given by High
School Seniors q Great Sue.
cess Thursday Evening
STUDENTS REVEL IN FARCE
Record Breaking Crowd Throngs the
Opera House 20 Applaud the Eff
forts of the Students in
Funny Old Play

"Charley's Aunt" that ever verdant
farce which has survived the boards for
more than score of years was given
"a splendid production by members of
the classes of the High school ct the
Rhode Opera House Thursday evening
and the Senior Class play proved to
be one Of the biggest hits ever made
by any body of amateur players in
Kenosha. The play was presented with
a cast of characters that it would have
been haru to improve upon and the
settings for the play were more elabor-
ate than those ever given a production
of the farce in Kenosha. The settings
for every act were arranged with great
attention to detail and Ralph Cooper
and Sydney Maddox who were in
charge of the stage settings are en-
titled to highest praise.
The members of the cast were per-
fectly selected for the production and
Miss Marie Heating, who trained them
for the play had done her work so well
that every player was line perfect.
In the cast Miss Laura Magill and
Ralph Curtis were the real stars. Miss
Magill always a charming entertainer
was at her best and she took the diff
fcult role of the real aunt from Brazil
in way that was entirely charming
and delightful. 1t was difficult part
for the young lady, but she assumed
the roll with charm that made her
every entrance on the stage a signal
for applause. The comedy role in the
play which had been made famous by
many players, was taken by Ralph
Curtis
His makeup was as funny as it could
have been made and he showed great
talent in interpreting the dual role of
Lord Fencourt Baberly and of Donna
Lucia. His acting in the first and
second act brought out repeated ap-
plause and had curtain calls been re-
sponded to Mr.. Curtis would have kept
the curtain bobbing after both acts.
Charlotte Griffith, Frances Weiskopf
and Doris Bailey took the school girl
parts to perfection and especial men
ton should be made Of the splendid
acting of Richie Purnell and Lawrence
Baldwin who as the college boys fur
nished much of the best acting in the
whole play Leslie Lease as Sir Fran
els Chesney and Bently Barbour as
Stephen Spettigue were well cast for
the parts and Carl Iverson as Brasset
and Theodore Fonk in the role of the
new footman could not have been i'm
proved upon.
The play was given with all the polish
of professional production and it was
certainly the best production of the
kind ever given by members Of the High
School Classes.

When the postofice department de-
cides that the householder must either
have private mail box or slit in the
door to pass letters through the only
thing to do will be to get the box or cut
the hole in the door. When the heads
of the department give out an order
after careful consideration they are not
apt to reverse themselves and it is next
to impossible to get an order changed.
The manufacturers of mail boxes can
rejoice for there is every Indication
that the old order in regard to private
boxes is to be enforced again.

1t is quite evident that nothing is
to be done this year about new intake
for the water company and the chances
are that we will come through all
right, but any one who has studied
the situation must admit that the city
is taking big risk at the present time
in more ways than one. The city has
made a wonderful record with it's water
company, but we may find that it never
pays to take chances.

SCHILZ GETS PETITION
Wheatland Man Enters Race for Nomi-
nation for Sheriff

A real fight is now on between the
Democrats of the county for the nomi-
nation for sheriff as B. NJ. Schilz, the
Wheatland aspirant for the Office took
out his petitions this morning and they
are being circulated in every ward of
the city and in every town in the
county. Mr.. Schilz was in Kenosha
today and he is preparing to make a
decidedly strenuous campaign for the
nomination. Schilz is one of the hard
est Democrats in the county for the
Republicans to defeat and his run
against Sheriff Charles Pfennig two
years ago showed that he has a big
following in the county. Andrew
Anderson is the only other Democrat in
the field, but it is stated that there
will be another candidate in the field
when the time for fling petitions closes.

The Persistence of High Prices

There is much irrational talk about
The beef trust in Connection with the adj
vance in the price Of beef. Whatever
me purposes of the packers may be, it
S obvious that the market is affected
by causes beyond the stockyards and
hat the best explanation Of the in
crease will be found in an inadequate
supply of beef cattle.
But, generally speaking, the course of
prices since the financial troubles of last
fall has been surprising. In spite Of the
hard times there has been no big de-
slime such as might have been expected.
It is true that there have been some con
cessions in steel and building materials,
and no doubt other commodities are
affected, but complaint Of the high cost
Of living remains unchanged and people
Of small incomes are not getting com
fort in the thought that the purchasing
power of money is greatly increased.
We note the fact without attempting
to offer satisfactory explanation. It
is natural to suppose, however, that the
condition is due in part to a large sup
ply of money, which is made possible
because OF the great increase in the
world s output Of the money metal since
the last panic. The supply is both alb
solutely and relatively large, but fortu-
nately the increase is with sound money
and the demand for imitation is no long
er popular.-Record Herald.

SUIT REVEALS ROMANCE
Arthur Eifer and Miss Lillian L. David
son Married Here Three Years Ago
(From SATURDAYS Daily)

(From Saturdays Daily
A little suit in the Justice Court
this morning revealed a romance Of
three years ago which included a mar
riage which was not known among the
people of the city. The defendant in
the suit was Arthur Eifer and in the
action the fact was brought out that
Eifier was married on June %, 1905 to
Miss Lillian L. Davidson. Eifer had
been sued as a single man and the suit
was dismissed when the facts in regard
to his marriage were revealed. The
announcement was made that Eifer and
Miss Davidson were married by Justice
McCarron June %, 1905. No reason has
ever been given for keeping the MARI
age secret, but it is said that even
close friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Ether did
not know that the ceremony had been
performed.

Bicycle thieves have been steadily
at work in the city for long time and
the punishment given the few that have
been caught does not seem to have had
the desired effect of stopping the thefts.
1t is about time to give some of these
gentry lesson that will be remembered
by all Of them and check the epidemic
of petty thievery that is spreading over
the whole city.
