His Duties Tuesday Morning

Deputy Game Warden Michael Kleist
who was one of the Republican candi-
dates for the nomination for sheriff

violators of the game laws got busy and
he will be keep after them for the next
few weeks. Kleist has a decidedly in

came in to congratulate Kleist on the
run he made and all assured him that
they had voted for him. The Deputy

TO CELEBRATE DAY
The Jewish New Year Begins on
September rs and Rams
Horn Is To Blow
TRADITIONS TO BE REVIVED

The blowing of the rams horn on
the morning of Sept. 26. will announce
the opening of the Jewish new year.
just 5,668 years before that date,
according to Jewish chronology, the
work of creation began.
The day is observed as a festival in
accordance with the biblical injunc-
ton as infinitely outlined in the Mo
sale code, which was inspired by God
during the meeting between God and
Moses on Mount Sinai. The day bears
three names: The New Year, Day of
Memorial and the Day Of Blowing the
Trumpet. The latter name comes ma
turally from an important feature Of
the observances in all synagogues,
namely, the blowing of the ram s horn.
At this festival the ram IS horn
which has been fattened out by heat
and fitted with a mouthpiece of the
same material is blown by the priests
Three sorts of blasts are made-the
straight blast, the Tekiah, the broken
blast (the Shebarium) and the Tehriah
or wave-like sound.
Tradition says that on New Year s
day God reviews the actions of the
nation s and individuals. All are sum-
moned to repentance After ten days
of opportunity comes the awful day
the day Of atonement-when God pas
.ses final judgment on the sins of the
world during the preceding year.
This legend, if it can be termed le-
gend nevertheless emphasizes the
Jewish teaching that the sinner is not
doomed because of sin, but can regain
purity and divine favor.
In the reformed synagogues but one
day is observed in connection with the
New Year. The orthodox congrega-
tions give two days to the festival.
The month of Elul, which began
yesterday is the last month in the
Jewish almanac. This month is de-
voted by the synagogues to prepare.
ton for the ensuing holy season. The
new year, $500, will occur on the first
Of the month known in the Jewish
calendar as Tishri The Day of
Atonement will fall on Oct. 5.

TO Be GRAND RUSH
Railways Preparing fofGreatNum-
Der Of People at Opening Of
the Rosebud Lands
VALUABLE LANDS TO BE OPEN

Western railroad passenger officials
are anticipating an increase in their
passenger business this fail from the
heavy travel to the northwest which
will be induced by the opening of the
Rosebud Indian reservation in South
Dakota.
Announcement was received yester-
day from the commissioner of the
United States general land office in
Washington that the remaining part of
the reservation comprised in Trip
county and amounting to $4,000 acres,
or about 5000 farms, will be opened
for settlement and subject to entry
under the homestead laws on Oct 49,
In 1904, when the first part of the
reservation, or the portion in Gregory
county, was opened, 100000 people
from all parts of the United States
registered for the drawing, and as the
new allotment is nearly twice as large
as the other the number of extra pas
sengers which the roads expect to
handle on this occasion will be even
greater.
Trip county is located on the
southern boundary Of South Dakota
ljust south of the Black Hills extern
sion of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul railway, and as applicants
are required to register between Oct
Is and 10 at Chamberlain or Presho
towns situated on that line, the ST.
Paul road is anticipating large share
of the business and is prepared to run
extra trains if necessary.
The Chicago & Northwestern line
which runs south Of the reservation
also expects to handle many Of the
homesteaders. In fact, all connecting
! lines from the south will derive a
proportion of the increased traffic this
fall, which will be well worth striking
for, without taking into account the
natural increase due to the develop.
ment of the country after it's settle.
ment.
Those who are successful in the
drawing will be permitted to make
entry for one quarter section after
March /, 1900, on payment of Sc an
acre. After June l, the price will be
$3.50 an acre if any remains. As the
land is well suited for cultivation and
considered worth much more than the
government price, the adjacent land
in Gregory county now selling at $50
to $40 an acre, a great rush of home
steaders is expected, especially in view
Of the large number of unemployed
at the present time and the easy terms
offered by the government.

PRIMARY A CHEAP ONE
Candidates for Nomination in Kenosha
County Did Not Spend Vast Sums

The primary election is not thought
to have been a very expensive luxury
for the candidates in Kenosha county
this year and it is not thought that the
total expense to the candidates will be
more han $1,000 The candidates for
the nomination for sheriff were the
only ones to spend any great sum of
money. These candidates spent consid.
cradle in getting out cards and posters
and the county was pretty well covered
with these posters. However, $1,000
will buy a lot of printing ink and paper
in these days and the candidates found
this method cheap one for carrying
on the campaign. The county clerk
will in a few days send to the diff
ferent candidates blanks for the return
Of their election expenses and under
the laws these expense accounts must
be filed with the register of deeds with
in thirty days after the primary. In
past years it has been held that the
successful candidates can file their pri-
mary and election expenses in single
report

CLAIM A CONSPIRACY
Workmen Claim Railway Employees
Work With Employment Agencies

Claiming that employees Of the rail
road company are conniving with a
Chicago employment agency for the out
right robbing of needy men, party
OF dozen discharged from the con-
struction gang Of the Chicago and
Northwestern road last night held a
meeting and declare that they will
bring charges against these men. Sew
eral times during the past year, SINH
lar charges have been made by dis
charged employees, most Of them Ital-
ians, but because Of their inability to
talk English, their complaints have
never been proved.
The continued hard times in Chicago,
however, had forced English speaking
men, and more intelligent laborers to
take advantage Of the employment
agencies and among those discharged
last night were several intelligent work
men, who at once held an indignation
meeting and say they will bring charges
against the contractor.
According to the story, men are be-
ing shipped in here by the employ
ment agencies at the rate Of about 80
each day. These men come from a
Chicago concern advertised as free
employment agency. After working a
few days, by which time, their pay
will amount to about 81, the men are
discharged, a half dozen leaving the
ranks each night, to be replaced by
new men in the morning. When the time
for a final settlement comes, however
instead Of receiving money for the
work they have done, the foreman is
said to hold out one dollar as fee from
the employment agency, and almost al
of the balance of their pay as board
during the time worked
The continued dull times in Chicago
have forced many skilled worllmen with
families dependent on them to take tc
the road in hopes Of earning something
at any kind Of work, and this treatment
they say, has worked considerable
hardship about them and their fami
lies.

Sign bfthe Old 0'ReiIIy Telegraph
Found on CaIkins Building at
Main and Market So.
REEVES MANY OLD MEMORIES
Old Telegraph Company Was One Of
the Pioneers in Wisconsin and
Was Later Merged Into the
Chicago aud Milwaukee

Some interesting history Of Kenosha
and Southport-forgotten by most of
even the early residents Of the city
was brought to light on Tuesday when
the workmen dismantling the old Cal
kins building at the corner of Main and
Market streets found sign. 1t was
weather beaten and old, but the letters
on it were still legible and it bore the
inscription "O'Reilly's Telegraph"
The sign was put up more than sixty
years ago and at the time the 0 Reilly
Telegraph vas one Of the most inter
esting features Of communication in
Kenosha and other lake shore towns.
The building was bought by the late
Frederick Lyman in 1850 and shortly
after he remodeled it and put on a
heavy cornice. The sign of the tele-
graph company did not interfere with
the cornice and the workmen did not
take the trouble to take it down so it
remained in place until yesterday. The
old sign caused considerable specula-
ton among the people who saw it, many
declaring that it was a sign used by
the Chicago and Milwaukee Telegraph
Company, but the mystery of it was
solved by F. H. Lyman, who hunted
about among his treasures in the way
Of historical relics of the early days
and found one of the original messages
sent by the 0 Reilly Telegraph. The
line which the company controlled
connected the principal cities Of
United States and Canada It was
one of the old one wire lines
built in the early days of the tele-
graph and it ran between Kenosha and
Milwaukee. 1t was privately built
and privately owned and while it's
equipment was of the crudest possible
nature, it was an electric telegraph and
probably the first electric telegraph
line built in the middle west. 1t was
one of those single wire lines which
were afterward purchased by G. G..
Sholes and sold to z. G.. Simmons. Mr..
Simmons purchased all of these little
lines for $500 and afterward consoli-
dated them into the Chicago and MIL
waukee Telegraph Company which was
many years ago leased to the Western
Union Telegraph Company and that
company still controls it.
The interest in the O'Reilly Tele-
graph may be revived among some of
the old settlers by the publication of
the following telegram which is sup
posed to be the only remaining output
of the company. The telegraph blank
is an unusual one, printed like note
paper. At the top in red letters is
printed;
"O'Reilly's"
Atlantic, Lake and Mississippi
Telegraph.
Connecting the principal towns in the
United States and Canada. Offices
over Lewis Store corner of Main
street and Market Square.

Already there are stories Of plots and

is wholesale treachery in the legisla-
ture Senator Stephenson will be re-elect-
