TO RETAIN OFFICE
Assistant Postmasters of State
To Guard Against Removal
by New Postmasters
HAVE FORMED ORGANIZATION

Self-preservation and hearty indorse
ment of their superiors were the key
notes of the new state association Of
assistant postmasters, which was or
gained Wednesday in the. ST. Charles
Hotel, Milwaukee,
By the adoption of resolutions recon-
mending that assistant postmasters be
placed on the classified civil service
list, the infant organization inaugurated
la crusade expected to guard assistant
postmasters against unfavorable ap-
pointments and removals by new post,
masters. By unanimous approval of
all resolutions adopted by the recent
convention Of state postmasters, this
protective policy was further en-
phasized.
At the present time assistant post
masters are not included in the CLASH
fed civil service list and may be re-
moved at the will of the postmaster.
The establishment of district branches
of the dead letter office also was urged,
and combination Of the third and
fourth classes of mail matter was recon-
mended.
Resolutions favoring a change in
postal laws which will permit the for
warding of all unstamped mail matter
to destinations and delivery upon col
lection of double postage also were
ADOPTED.
Postal Inspector Ralph Bird; Post
Office Inspector J. P. Walker, Madison;
l.. F. Rosenthal, Beloit; Paul G. Burch-
ard, Fort Atkinson, and j. n Miles,
Merrill, spoke.
The executive committee will select
the place for the 1909 convention,
which probably will be Appleton. The
convention adjourned at CLOCK after
selecting the following officers and
committees:
President, William A. Devine, Madi-
son; first vice president, S. F. Eberle,
Watertown; second vice president, Eva
Ortel, Waupaca; third vice president,
I. A. Hudson, Chippewa Falls; secretary
and treasurer, L. F. Rosenthal, Beloit;

BI.ACKLIsTED FAIR rs DULL

That a county fair depending upon
public patronage connot afford to do
without newspaper support has been
demonstrated at Anderson, Ind, where
the Madison county fair attracted less
than one-third the number of people
who attended the fair on Thursday, one
year ago. At that time the fair asso-
citation depended almost wholly on the
newspapers for advertising and the
local papers and other papers of Madi-
son county boosted the fair in every
way possible.
This year one Of the directors of the
fair association, who had charge Of the
advertising, concluded that newspaper
advertising does not pay. Being per-
mitted TO execute mis- own ideas, he
choose to have few banners painted
and posted. The newspapers there
fore, ignored the fair association and
said nothing concerning the fair, the
exhibit, races or anything pertaining to
it. AS a result the attendance has been
the smallest in years-Editor and Pub

Health Officer spaIding Sending
Samples ofMiIk Sold Here to
the State Chemist
TRACE TYPHOID FEVER GERMS
Six Patients Ill With the Disease Had
All Been Using Milk From
Same Dairy and Rigid Elk
animation Will be Made
[From Friday s Daily

Health Officer j. B. Spalding this
morning began to collect samples Of the
milk sold in Kenosha with a view of
aving it all analysed to detect the pres
ence Of typhoid fever germs, as it is
the opinion Of the health officer that
impure milk is proving to be one of
the causes Of the spread Of typhoid
fever in the city. The samples are be
ing sent to the state chemist at Madi-
son for examination and as soon. as the
return of this analysis is received some
steps will probably be taken to purify
the milk supply of the city.
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing Health Officer Spalding said:
."While [ am not ready to say that i'm
pure milk is the cause of the rapid
spread of typhoid fever in Kenosha, this
seems to 1e one Of the contributing
causes Of the large number Of cases of
the disease and it is a rather remarka-
BILE fact that out of six cases reported
to me in the past few days all Of the
families of the patients were using milk
from a single dairy. [ am ordering the
state department TO make the best pos
sible test Of sample Of milk taken
from this and, other diaries and if posi-
BILE we will get these dairies cleaned up
before the opening of the winter sea
son. I can make no announcement Of
milkmen who are suspected of selling
impure milk as this would be unfair
to them before the fact has been shown
by an analysis by the state chemists.
| am urging other sanitary measures
to be taken in the city and if possible
will put a stop-to the spread Of the
typhoid fever before it gets too big a
start This epidemic is a rather re-
markable one as you will remember
that few weeks ago there was not a
case in the city and at present there
are very large number for this time
Of the year and the disease is in a very
virulent form"
This is the first analysis of milk that
has been made by the state for Keno
sha in some time and it is thought that
quite a number of the milk dealers are
handling milk from unsanitary farms
and diaries. The state dairy inspectors
have been advised Of the fears Of the
physicians and it is expected that the
state department. will order a general
inspection Of the dairies Of the county
within the next few days. At the last
visit Of the inspectors half dozen
farmers and dairymen were forced to
pay fines on account of the conditions
found in their places.

KICK ON SLING SHOTS

Complaint is being made on account
of the fact that many of the boys in
the city are carrying sling shots. There
is law against the use of these boy
mood weapons, but it has not been en-
forced for several years and the boys
seen to have entirely forgotten IT, It
is claimed that two boys have been
seriously injured from sling shots in
the past two days. One of them was
shot in the cheek and the other in the
eye. The police have been notified to
look out for the boys using the sling
shots and some arrests will be made if
the practice is not discontinued at once.

GAINESVILLE Company Is Formally
Given Contract for Public
Building in Kerosha
MUST HAVE MORE MONEY
Determined Effort to be Made to Have
Congress Give More for the
Kenosha Building at
the Coming Session
(From Saturdays Daily

At the Office of the supervising archi
tect in Washington on Friday after
noon the contract for the new Kenosha
Government building was let to the j.
p Callan Company Of GAINESVILLE, the
contract price being $51, 065. The com
pany put up the bond demanded by the
government and under the agreement
the work will be started at once. The
government has made no demand for
the starting of the work this year, but
the contract as signed provides that
the building must be completed by the
first day of December of next year and
in order to fulfill this part of the CON
tract it will be absolutely necessary to
get some Of the work done this fall.
The company which has been given the
contract for the work has been in the
business of building government build
ings for several years and has erected
buildings in several Wisconsin cities.
The amount of the contract practically
will use up the entire appropriation
made for the Kenosha building. The
site was purchased for little less than
$4,000 and the architect of the govern
ment has spent considerable in getting
the plans and specifications in readi-
ness so that the amount remaining of
the appropriation is said to be but
$4,000. The erection of the building
will leave but 5000 for the improve
ment Of the grounds and the building
Of sidewalks about them and this will
not be sufficient to allow for any great
identifying of the grounds. A govern
ment inspector Will be employed to look
after the work and it is probable that
the cost Of this inspection will be taken
from the small sum left of the appro-
priation. Congress will meet in Deem
Der and the people Of Kenosha will
probably have a big petition ready
at that time asking that an added ap-
preparation be made for the Kenosha
building in order to make it the equal
Of other buildings built by the govern
ment in Wisconsin cities.
In addition to the completion of the
building some $4,000 will be needed for
the proper equipment Of the building
as Postmaster Maloney and his assist
ants are anxious to have the building
equipped with the latest possible ap-
paratus and this must be provided for
by new appropriation.
The people of the city will be decided
w p1aa to see the operations on fhe
building starte.4 as this will come as
positive assurance that the building is
to be completed on schedule time.
The lease On the present quarters Of
the post Office in the Meyers Block will
not expire for two years yet, but if the
new building is completed there is little
doubt but that the government can dis
pose Of its present lease without loss.

READY FOR THE FRAY
Republican County Committee
Opens Headquarters on Main
St. and Fight Is on
MANY SPEAKERS EXPECTED

The real campaign in Kenosha county
opened this morning when the head
quarters Of the Republican County Com
mIttee were opened in the bricklayer s
hall on Main street and from now I'M
I'll after the votes are counted on cleo
ton day the headquarters will be open
and there will be active work in pro-
gress. The headquarters will consist
OF offices for the county committee and
a reading room for the voters. This
reading room will be we'll stocked up
with Republican literature and there is
room for any number Of meetings to
convince the voters that Republican
principles are the best for the nation.
The headquarters will be in charge Of
Secretary John Zens and Treasurer AL
vim Blood of the county committee.
Chairman Baker in speaking Of the
matter last night said: ''The campaign
will be opened in Kenosha county next
week and we are now making arrange
ments for meetings to be held at the
headquarters and at other places in the
city and county. The committee is in
touch with the speakers bureau of the
National Committee and will seek to
secure many Of the best speakers for
work in lzenosha county. The speaking
campaign will commence next week and
be carried vigorously forward until
election day"
The visit Of Taft to Wisconsin has
done much to remove any doubt of the
Republicans carrying the state, but the
Kenosha County Committee is not go
ing to permit the voters to lose interest
in the contest for single minute and
everything possible will be done to get
out the biggest Republican vote in the
history of the county. AS soon as pos
sible the County Committee will call
for volunteers to organize clubs in the
various wards and towns and it is the
plan of the committee to have club
in every town of the county There
will be every possible effort made to
stir up the voters and get them out to
the polls.
The Republican voters are earnestly
requested to get acquainted with the
headquarters Of the party and to get
all voters in the city interested in the
work that is being done to boost the
interest in the campaign.

DAMAGED BY FIRE
Office Building Of Chicago Grass
Works Damaged by Fire From
Defective Wiring Friday
WATER RUINS DECORATIONS

The big plant Of the Chicago Brass
Company on Elizabeth street was
threatened with serious fire just after
five o'clock Friday evening when a
blaze broke out in the upper portion
of the splendid new office building and
before it had been extinguished dam
age to the amount Of between 5000 and
$500 had been done by smoke and
water. The fire was caused by defec-
tive wiring in the building and the fact
emphasized the demand Of the city for
better supervision of all wiring done
on new buildings. Two wires neither
Of them properly insulated, were crossed
and this started the fire 1t is thought
that the fire had been going for some
time when it was discovered by one of
the members of the fire department
who was on his way home to supper.
The smoke was coming out from under
the tile roof. The fire department re
sponded quickly to~the call, but the
flames had so spread in the attic Of the
building that it was found impossible
to save the building with the use Of
the three chemicals and line Of hose
was turned into the attic. This deluge
Of water caused more damage than had
been caused by the flames. The water
poured down through the ceiling, de-
stroying the decorations of the build
ing and soaking the furniture causing
d considerable loss in this manner
When it was found that it would be
necessary to turn on the water, the en-
ployes of the company removed the
books and files from the Office and these
were not damaged.
The loss to the building outside Of
the ruin Of the decorations and the dam
age of the furniture was comparatively
small and the loss is entirely covered
by insurance. It was decidedly fortu-
nate that the fire was discovered at the
time it was, for had it had another half
hour start it is feared that the entire
building would have been burned and
that the flames might have spread to
other portions Of the great plant.
