NO TRACE OF RUSSELL
Man Who Disappeared on Last Wed
nesday Noon is Still Missing

No trace has as yet been found of
Otto Russell, the Kenosha man who
disappeared on last Wednesday noon
and notwithstanding the fact that
police officers and deputy sheriffs have
kept up the search for the man he
seems to have been able to conceal him
self so that he can not be located. It
was thought that he was wandering
about in the fields between Kenosha
and Racine, but men sent to search for
him there yesterday could find no trace
of him at any place along the road.
AS Russell was well supplied with
money it is thought that he may have
taken a train. His relatives, however,
entertain grave fears that he has met
with an accident and is unable to com
municate with them.

The County Board showed it's D
probation Of the good work that has
been done by the Humane Society by
appropriating $50 to forward the work
of the society during the coming year
AS it is at present constituted there
is little hope that our City Council
would appropriate similar amount to
the society to help out on the expenses
but the work should not be hampered
for any lack of funds Any amount
necessary should be furnished by pri-
waite subscription and there are humid
reds Of men ready and willing to give
to the society whenever the matter is
brought to their attention.

The men who made the preliminary
survey for an electric line west of the
city this summer had precisely the ex-
perienco that all promoters meet with
when they put any faith in the reports
that any property owners are willing
and anxious to give any line right of
way. About every man approached ex-
pressed himself as heartily in favor of
the road, but all made the mental reser-
walton that it was to run through the
other fellows land and when asked
what they would do to get the line they
named a fair price for their property
for the right of way. AS matter of
fact that is about all they could rea-
sonably be expected to do under the cir
cumstances and it is just as we'll to have
it understood right in the beginning
that any right of way will have to
be paid for.

Other things being equal, local men
should have every job in connection
with the erection of that new school
building and in that case local men will
doubtless get them, but there should
be no preference shown local men at
>the expense Of the taxpayers who are
paying for the work All that the
home bidders can reasonably ask is
that they shall be given the work when
their bids are as low as those of their
competitors from outside of the city
and the Beard will let the contracts
where they can get the most for their
money as it is the duty Of the com
missioners to do.

An increase of $4,000 in the state
and county taxes over last year de
creases the chances Of a one per cent
tax levy considerably. With a very
economical administration of the city s
affairs it might be possible to squeeze
through the next year ON what will be
left from one per cent levy with
what the city gets from saloon licenses
after all the demands Of the school
Board and the state and county taxes
are satisfied, but we hardly expect to
see it tried. What is the use of being
in Office anyway if there is no money
in the treasury?

The taxpayers of Kenosha should
give serious consideration to the ques-
ton of the ACCESSIBILITY of bond is
sue to spread the payments for public
improvements which must be under
taken in the near future over term
of years. So long as the regular run
ming expenses of the city continue on
the present elaborate scale there is lit
tie hope that the city will be able to
save any money out Of the regular tax
levy to pay for any special work and
as there is no immediate prospect that
there will be any noticeable reduction
in the expenses 1--WE shall be lucky if
there is no increase) it is up to the
taxpayers to consider ways and means
to get these necessary improvements
without doubling up the taxes. The
idea of bond issue has never appealed
to the people Of Kenosha, but it looks
very much now as if it would have to
be a bond issue or a big increase in
taxes.

The sale of 100000 National Red
Cross stamps in the state is undertaken
by the Wisconsin Anti So
ciety for the purpose of raising money
to carry on the warfare against the
great white plague in Wisconsin and a
cali for assistance from such a source
should be promptly answered. The
men in charge of this great movement
give assurance that with proper edu-
cation of the people to complete IN
derstanding of the causes Of this dread
disease, it's prevention and cure, it can
be entirely stamped out in this state
in ten years and no expenditure of en-
ergy or money that will accomplish
such result can be considered too
great.

The Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
is up against what looks to be a serious
proposition in the foreclosure suit just
started by the English bondholders and
it's attorneys will have more difficulty
disposing of it than they had with the
Baubien suit. This last suit is said to
be. supported by the holders of one
third of the entire issue of bonds and
their claims will undoubtedly receive
more consideration than did the last
attempt to harass the receivers which
was apparently supported by nobody
in particular.

TO FORM ASSOCIATION
Grocers OF City to Form Organization
for Protection of Their Interests

Plans are being completed for an
organization among the grocers of the
city vi wlA include practically all
of the men engaged in this business.
The organization will have for it's pur-
pose the better protection of the inter
ests of this line of trade. A similar
organization has been in existence in
the city for some time but it had a
membership of only few of the groc-
ers. It is stated that already twenty
three Of the dealers in groceries have
agreed to take part in the re-organiza-
ton and an effort is being made TO have
every man in the city engaged in the
grocery business connected with the
organization. Some formal statement
ne plans of the organization will be
made in the near future.

AS an alternative to raising the
taxes how would it be to cut off all
expenses wherever possible and run
city on very little money for year
or two. With an economical administra-
ton the coming year the city ought not
to be so far in debt at the end of the
first year that it could not get out even
the second year when there will be no
new school houses to build. At any rate
there is every prospect that the proper
ty owners will be better able to stand
a. raise next year if one is necessary
than they are this. It is going to
bother lot of them to pay a one per
cent tax on their holdings next spring
and more than that would work posi-
tive hardship in many cases,
