SANE FOURTH IN KENosHA
Dangerous Fireworks Not to be Sold
in Kenosha for Celebration

IN henosha for Celebration
Kenosha is going to have sane cele-
bratiOn of the Fourth of July this year
as Mayor Scholey and Chief of Police
O'Hare will in a few days issue a
notice to all dealers in fireworks pre-
venting the sale Of dangerous fireworks
an the city. The notice will follow
closely the state law on the subject and
the limitation of the sale of fireworks
will be about the same as in other
years. No arrangements have as yet
been made for any celebration of the
nation s birthday in Kenosha and it
does not look as if any arrangements
would be made. So far as celebrating
the Fourth of July is concerned, Ke-
nosha is dead town. None of the
cities in this part of the state has
as yet arranged for a celebration of
the day and this might be a good year
for Kenosha to take the matter up.
OF course some of the. leading orators
and officials will be on their way to the
Democratic National Convention at
that time, but it is possible that cele-
bration could be pulled off without
them.

100000 VETERANS LIVING
One-fourth of the Civil War Soldiers
Are Still Living According to Reports

@A4O kot4L4 A4f4 1AS @AASOANAAA5 w AeOQOA1 %
Although it is forty-fve years since
the close of the Civil war, there are still
living one-fourth of the total number
of sailors and soldiers who fought in
the war, according to John H. Holley,
La Crosse, member of the national
board of managers of soldiers homes
and state inspector of the Milwaukee
home. FIn round numbers there were
nearly 100000 men enlisted in the
Civil war, !" said Mr.. Holley, "and it
will surprise many to know that recent
statistics compiled show that onefourth
that number still live and are aided by
the government. This speaks remarka-
bly, well for the endurance and physical
ability Of the American soldier. 1t
must be remembered that more than
fourth of that number died immedi-
ately after the war as result of
wounds, contagion and sickness. And
many more were numbered among the
missing and never heard Of These
100000 still living are being cared for
in ten national homes and twenty-seven
state homes. -

Kenosha Lincoln Club Plans TO
Take in Republicans From All
Over KenOsha County
PLANS FOR BIG BANQUET MADE
Either District Attorney McGovern or
fIenry Cochems of Milwaukee to
Be Speaker at First Public
Meeting of the Club

The Kenosha Lincoln Club completed
organization at a meeting held at the
Grand Army Hall on Wednesday even
ing and the new political organization
is planning to take in members from all
parts Of the county To this end in the
selection of the board of directors near
ly every town in the county was repre-
sented on the board. The board of di
rectors is the most important body in
connection with the club as this board
has in it's hands the selection of the
members. The members spent some
time discussing plans for hall and it
was decided to remain for the present
at the Grand Army Hall. The report
of the nominating committee was ac-
cepted and the following officers and
directors elected:
Presidential. E. Kuolt.
Vice-President-Joseph S. Clarkson.
Secretary-Otis L. Trenary.
Treasurer-Alvin H. Blood.
Board of Directors-C. B. Reinardy,
G. H. Ernst, M. F. Zens, Charles A.
Pofahl M. F. Barber, August Otto, Har-
vey Gunter, Paris; Richard Swenson,
Wilmot; Henry Lytle, Somers; Joseph
Rowbottom, Bristol; William Rolling,
Pleasant Prairie.
The club now has membership of
sixty-fve and it is expected that the
number will be largely increased before
the opening of the campaign. The club
is planning to take a very active part
in the coming Republican campaign and
it is expected that the club will be
the center for great deal of political
work. It is expected that it will work
IN harmony with the Republican Ma
tional and State Central Committees
and that much of the literature Of the
of the various Republican bureaus will
be sent out through the medium of the
club. 1t will not, however, seek to
usurp the functions of the county Re-
publican committee.
At the meeting Wednesday evening
plans were laid for the first public
banquet of the club which is to be held
at the Auditorium Of the Y. M. G. A..
Hall some time late in this month. A
committee consisting Of Harry Grace,
Alvin H. Blood and M. J. O'Donnell,
was named to have charge of the ar
rangements for this gathering. 1t is
planned to have as the orator for the
evening either Francis McGovern, the
district attorney for Milwaukee county
who is regarded as possible candidate
for United States Senator to succeed
Stephenson or Henry Cochems of Mil,
waukee, who has just been selected to
name Robert M. LaFollette for presi.
dent at the national convention. It is
pretty certain that the club is planning
to follow pretty closely the policy of
the other LaFOllette clubs in the state
but it is distinctly stated by the found.
ers of the club that it has not been or
gained to boost the political plans of
any set of candidates.

Pauper Committee in Session on
Wednesday Fails To Get Re-
port in Regard to Farm
MAY PROVE A LOSS TO CITY
Products From the Farm Fail to Bring
In Money For the Support of Men
Who Make Their Home There
May Adopt New Plan

The members of the pauper commit
tee Of the City Council held meeting
at the City Hall on Wednesday for the
purpose Of holding an informal discus
sion in regard to the Kenosha City
poor farm and to formulate report to
the Council in regard to the future of
the farm. From the discussion it
seems as if the committee will make
no recommendation to the Council in
regard to the farm and the Council
may decide to sell the farm and turn
the money thus secured into the regu-
lar channels of the city to be used
for the further support of the people
now receiving aid from the city. The
report. Of the poor master for last year
has been carefully canvassed by the
members Of the committee and they
have not been able to figure the farm
a paying proposition. Seven old men
are now living at the farm and it has
been asserted that these seven men
could be kept in any one of the hotels
of the city at the same cost as keep
ing up the farm and that the city would
be much better off if the farm was dis
posed Of The farm does not seem to
be bowling success and the expected
sales from it dwindled down so last year
that one of the members of the com
mittee stated last night that about the
only things that had been sold were q
couple of hogs and a calf. The cali
brought $1,000. 1t is not stated by
the member how much the hogs
brought. The farm is valued at from
five to six thousand dollars and it is
said that it would be an easy matter fol-
the city to find a purchaser for it
William j. Swift, the new chairman OF
the pauper committee and poor farm
is planning to make the paupers as self
supporting as possible. He is arrang
ing to put all the able bodied men tc
work on the streets just as soon as 9
plan can be arranged and where it is
possible the women who are dependent
upon the city are being put to work
when work that can be done by womer
is found. The large expenditures fo1
shoes and stockings for the boys is be
ing cut off as Alderman Swift holds
that it will not hurt the boys at all tC
go barefoot and cites the fact thai
nearly every president of the United
States went bare-tooted when a boy
1t is thought that by the elimination
of these expenses the pauper committee
will be able to get on the right side
of the ledger. The Council has appro
priated ,250 for the quarter and i
is admitted that this will not be suf
ficient to take care of the work. How
ever, Alderman Swift hopes to be able
to keep within the appropriation mex
quarter. The great expense for this
quarter was due to the fact that bill.
from the last fiscal year to the amount
of over $500 had to be paid out of the
first appropriation to the committee
The city is now supporting vast mum
Der of people and the expenses for the
year will undoubtedly be close to the
SIS, 900 mark.

WANTED FOR BURGLARY

a letter from the police at Lawrence,
Kansas, asking that they make an eff
fort to arrest Frank Petersen a former
Kenosha man who is wanted in the
Kansas city on charge of burglary
Petersen has not been in Kenosha for
several years, but it is thought that he

local police will have chance to nab
him. No details of the crime charged
against Petersen have been sent to Ke-

FELL DOWN THE STAIRS
Edward Hawthorne, a Chicago Freight
Clerk Badly Injured Wednesday

Edward Hawthorne, aged AZ years,
who gave his occupation as a freight
clerk and his home as Chicago, met
with painful injuries late Wednesday
night when he fell down the stone
steps leading into the tunnel at the
Northwestern Station. The man was
under the influence of liquor and this
probably accounts for the fact that he
was not more seriously injured. He
was picked up By le of the police
officers and taken to Jail and a physi-
clan called to attend him. He had
several bad cuts about the head, but he
declined to go to hospital. He was
released this morning and left at once
for Chicago.

municipal expenditures. is promised
by the Board Of City Trusts. The
estate Is now worth in the neighbor-
hood Of $4O.O0O.O0O and is yearly
increasing in value. Only small
part Of the income from this vast
estate is required to conduct Cir
ard college. and the balance reyerts
to the city.
The Board OF City Trusts is in
charge Of the estate. and in its re-
port place value Of s14,s46, $50
on the real estate In the city, but
conservative selling value would
be in the neighborhood Of $25 ,0O0,-
900. In addition to this the estate
owns $4,000 acres OF coal lands In
schuylkiIl and Columbia counties.
The estate Is also equipped with gilt
edged securities in the shape Of first
mortgages on real estate and bonds
of various large cities In the state,
which are appraised at $7,6O5,5O
The total value OF the estates hold

Of about $40, 1000, 900.
During the year 1907 the receipts
of the estate amounted to S1,7s5.-

was applied toward the maintenance
Of the 1907 boys that were in Cir
ard college. The average cost per
capita Of pupils during the year was
$S46.12.

fire insurance fund amounting to
$4,000, and there has been set aside
fund which now amounts to over
100000, the income OF which is APP
Piled to street repairs, cleaning and
lighting the Delaware river front.
One Of the reasons why the es-
tate is increasing in value at a rapid
rate during recent years is the fact
that the rents and royalties of the
coal lands and colleries in Schuyl-
kill and Columbia coutnies, which
amounted in $1sO7 to s6S7,162.17,
are not considered income, but are
