YULE A DIRECTOR
Kenosha Golfer Elected as Off.
ciaI of the Western Golf
Association Saturday
BIC MEET FOR ROCK ISLAND

Kenosha golfers will take a greater
interest in the doings of the Western
Golf Association during the coming year
as at the annual meeting of the AS
ISOLATION held at the Grand Pacific Ho-
tel in Chicago Saturday evening, W. L.
Yule of the Kenosha Country Club was
elected director for the coming year.
Mr.. Yule is one Of the most enthusiast
tic followers of the game in Kenosha
and it IS thought that he will use his
influence to have more Kenosha players
entered in the various tournaments held
under the auspices of the Western AS
ISOLATION. Albert r. Gates of the Cal
umet Country Club Of Chicago was
elected President of the Association for
the coming year. It was decided to
hold the annual Western Championship
match at the links of the Rock Island
Arsenal 0olf Club and the place for the
holding Of other events under the aus
pieces of the Association will be decided
later by the Board of Directors.
The Kenosha Club is to entertain the
Wisconsin State Association for the
annual tournament in July and as the
links will be placed in prime condi-
ton for this meet it is just possible
that Director Yule will invite the West
ern Golf Association to hold some of
it's annual games on the Kenosha links.
Kenosha golfers have never had a
chance to entertain the golfers in any
Of these big meets and it is thought
possible that this year will be the best
time to make the bid for the kia events.
The play for the Marshall Field Cup
would be an event which the Kenosha
Club could take care of in good shape
and no place has been selected for the
holding Of this tourney. The work Of
preparing the Kenosha links for the
new season will be started soon after
the annual meeting Of the club which is
to be held the latter part of February.
AS soon as the club officers are elected
the arrangements for the state tourney
will be started. w. L. Yule is secre-
tary Of the State Association and he
will have charge of all the preliminary
arrangements. The program for the
meet which will be a decidedly at
tractive one will be issued early in May.

WILL rs ADMIT TED
Sisters Fails To Sustain Contest for
Property of Late l.. Merrick

Judge Slosson has handed down deci-
sion admitting to probate the will Of
the late Leander Merrick and disallow-
ing the contest made by Mrs. Lorancha
Williams of Brooklyn, New York who
alleged that Merrick was of unsound
mind when the will was made and that
undue influence was used to have him
give the bulk of his property to certain
members of the Merrick family. Mrs
Williams was sister Of the deceased
and under the will her son and daughter
were both named as legatees. Under
the ruling of the court the estate of the
deceased will act as executor of the
trust outlined in the will. There are
some twenty nieces and nephews of
the deceased named as legatees under
the will and they share equally in the
division of the property It is just pos
sible that an appeal from the decision
of the county court will be made but
no notice of the appeal has as yet been
fled.

STOPPER WINS RACE
Racine Runner Sets New Record Be
tween Racine and K enosha Saturday


All records for running between Ra-
Eelne and Kenosha were broken on Sat-
urday afternoon when NJ Stopper won
the Wagner race by making the dis
lance between the two cities in an hour
and twenty six minutes. Stopper led a
field Of seventeen runners to the Wag-
ner buffet and his record for the dis
tance under the adverse conditions is
considered remarkable one. I'll. Frede-
lake OF Racine finished minute and
a half after the winner None of the
Kenosha entries showed in the race as
Lyman Morehouse who was considered
in excellent condition to win the race
finished in sixth place and S. Sorrensen
the other Kenosha entry finished
fourth Conditions were anything but
favorable to the race and the men
who finished the race in less than an
hour and half certainly performed
a feat worthy of note. Morehouse
was eighth when the bunch of runners
reached Central Park and running
strong but shortly after passing the
park he turned his ankle and he hob
bled the rest of the way to Racine. It
is claimed that Stopper who was de-
clared the winner of the race is a pro
fessional runner and he took a dog
trot when he left the starting place in
Kenosha and kept it up all the way to
Racine 1t is claimed that large sum
of money changed hands as a result of
the race.

JANSEN Is RELEASED
Old Law in Regard To Jail Liber.
ties Called Into Use To Re.
lease Former Tinsmith
REFUSES T0SEE FORM Err WIFE
(From Mondays Daily.)


T. E. Jansen who had been in jail for
the better part of week on account of
his refusal to pay alimony to his former
wife as directed by the court was re-
leased from jail Saturday afternoon
when his attorneys called into service
an old law in regard to jail liberties
and Jansen was given the liberties on
putting up bond Of $3.50 The bond
was signed by Chief of Police O Hare
and it is double the amount claimed
by Mrs. Jansen to be due her as ali
mony. Under the law Jansen is no long
er confined in cell but he is still tech
nially in the keeping of the sheriff and
under the law he is prevented from
going farther than q mile from the
county Jail This is the first time that
the privilege has been claimed in Keno
sha county and Sheriff Pfenning will
be forced to set up signs to show the
Jail limits. A sign must be set up in
all directions to mark the limits. It
is admitted that Jansen may go out on
the lake in a boat but he must be care
"a IAOU W So LA1Ol y G11cb1 UIIC uI1IC 1lOIn
the jail or his bond will be, forfeit.
Jansen is now stopping at a down town
hotel and it is expected that some
modification Of the order Of the Circuit
Court will be secure within a few days
so that he will be able to have his
liberty without a string to it
Mrs. Henrietta Jansen the wife of the
man called at the county Jail on Sat
urday afternoon and asked to see JAN
sen but when her card was taken to
him in his cell he declared that he did
not want to see her under any consider
alton and Notwithstanding the fact that
Mrs Jansen waited about the jail for
some time the imprisoned man did not
reconsider his decision and Mrs JAN
sen finally left without seeing her form
er husband.
Jansen case is an unusual one and his
attorneys claim that he is being i'm
posed upon and it is probable that some
decidedly interesting revelations will be
made when the case has another hearing
in the Circuit court

MAKES HIS REPORT
County Clerk Jones Sends Re-
port Showing Method Of Ex.
pending County Funds
COURT EXPENSES INCREASED
Report Shows That Expense of Courts
for Last Year Was Double Amount
of Former Year-Indebted-
ness of Comfy

County Clerk Jones this morning for
warded to Madison his annual report
of the taxes for the year and the dis
position to be made Of the money col
lected by the county and city. The
tax raised for county purposes is $780,
900 and the appropriation Of this money
has not as yet been made. The amount
of county school tax is $20,274.00 the
amount for the uses Of the County Sup
erintendent $1,000, for Soldier relief
$1651.41 and for Special Bridge tax
$3.50.
The report shows the manner that the
money collected last year as taxes was
expended and this shows that the great
er amount went for County Bull5S 4gs,
Court Expenses and salaries for the
county officials. The report shows that
the court expenses for the year just
ended were $8553.63 and this is more
than double the expenses of the court
for the preceding year. Last year
there was expended for the support of
the poor the amount of $11762 for
County Buildings $1031.67, for the sal
aries of county officials $1,000, for the
relief of Soldiers and their families
$1331.72 and for other expenses not
enumerated above $17,216.55. This
amount includes much of the expense of
the County Agent for the care of county
charges the expenses Of the county Jail
and the transportation of prisoners
and many other expenses Of a general
nature. The largest increase in the ex-
penditures Of the county is shown in
connection with the costs Of the courts.
This includes two expensive terms Of
the Circuit Court at which more cases
were tried than in any preceding year
and the various expenses of the Justice
courts which were considered abnormal
ly large during the year just closed.
The report Of the amount of indebted
ness in the county shows that the city
of Kenosha still has the old debt of
$4,000 for railroad aid and a further
debt of $1,000 for the payment of vot-
ing machines now in use in the different
wards of the city. The Indebtedness
of the county townsSis small the total
amount being $5231.44. Of this
amount, $2571.44 is owed by the town
of Bristol and $265O by the town of
Salem. Both, debts are for aid in the
building of schools in the towns The
principal items for taxes outside the reg
ular county tax is the city tax for
schools and for the contingent fund of
the city.
The report shows fair increase in
all appropriations of the city and county
for the year just opening. The report
also shows that had it not been for the
balance in the county treasury last year
the county would now be forced to Dor
row money to meet current expenses.
This however will not be necessary as
arrangements have been made to hold up
the payments of the bills as far as
possible until the new tax levy shall
be paid over to the county treasurer.

SEEK LARGE FUND
kenosha Republicans Asked To
Contribute to Fund To Boost
LaFolIette Campaign
FRIENDS MUST PAY THE BILLS

Many Republicans in Kenosha regard
less OF their former afiliation with
factions in the State are today receiv-
ing letters from the LaFollette Presi-
Dental committee asking that they
make contributions to the fund that is
being raised for the advancement of
the campaign of the senior senator as
i, nominee for President. The men to
whom the letters are sent are asked
not only to contribute themselves but
to solicit contributions from other Re
publicans in the ward or precinct in
which they reside. In connection with
the letter a long statement is being sent
out in which it is stated that the cam
paign is to be a costly one and that
Senator LaFollette is poor man and
that his candidacy must be advanced
by his friends. The letter which is
characteristic of the La Toilette move
ment is as follows
January Is, 1908.
Dear Sir
The La Toilette Presidential Commit
tee has decided to make an appeal for
financial aid directly to the people, and
has directed us to invite contributions
through yourself and others in your
precinct. The issue before the country
is, shall we have real Representative
Government There can be no question
as to the sentiment Of the people on
this point, nor of their desire for such
leadership as that of Senator La Fol
lette. To make this sentiment effective
the people must be aroused to the neces-
slty OF an active participation in the
selection of delegates to the next Re
publican National Convention.
The carrying on of the great work
IN the interest of our cause throughout
the United States necessitates the use
Of a considerable amount of money for
printing and like expenses. Wherever
our means has enabled us to go, an
enthusiastic and prompt response has
been met with We want you to as
sist us, and ask you to kindly cooperate
with others in your voting precinct in
soliciting funds in such amounts as
each individual may be willing ard able
to contribute.
1t is very important that this work
be done now. If you have a local La
Toilette Presidential Club, or if one
can be formed without delay, we sug-
gest that it's treasurer collect and remit
subscriptions IF not. we suooest +ba+
some representative man in your pre-
cInct be agreed upon by you and other
friends of the Senator to collect and
forward money. All contributions
should be RENTED to Hon. A H. Dahl,
Treasurer, Madison, Wisconsin, who will
promptly receipt for same on behalf of
the committee.

not, nation wide, locked arms with
great moral reform openly and ag-
gressively in forty years. We nave
spent our fighting strength upon
heresy trials and game that IS not
worth Our energy. In New YORK IL
would seem, judging by the returns,
that the sure way to defeat candl-
date is to secure for him the open
and avowed support Of the ministry
of the church. We have attacked In
dividuals when down and organlza-
tions that it cost nothing to assall.
We have objected to saloons within
$50 feet of the churches and been
silent while they squatted thick ana
greedily in the midst OF the hauntS
of poverty. We have neglected the
social evil and the men in the pews
and membership of our own orSanlza-
ton who have owned and rented
houses of i'll fame. We have as
saulted the moral character OF the
saloonkeeper and consigned him and
his business to eternal torment, while
we have ever maintained by our
suffrage our criminal silent partner
shin in his trade. The meanwhile
praying God to drive him from our
midst. And even in this day with the
inspiring and glorious example Of the
Southland right before us we may
find ministers in the city of New York
who will excuse the saloon, and q
church that is afraid to grapple with
the enemy in struggle to the death.
We have been fooled so long political
ly that most of the politicians regard
the church element as a sort of a
cheerful political joke.
All of this is the handwriting on
the wall 1t is the warning of the
times. In no unreal sense it is the
voice of God to us. Woe betide us
if we fail to be warned.
Not otherwise is it in individual
life. What a careless host there is
of men who disregard the clear ad-
monitions of Jehovah and who spend
their lives in riotous living, who vio-
late every statute upon the moral
code, who permit in their public
lives sins they would revolt to have
exist in their private affairs, who live
privately as they neither have the
courage nor the desire to live openly,
who sell their minds and souls as
luGS uO INSll folCo loi q SNiAStNN4S>
ton, who think that they may SOW as
they please and reap what they like,
who deny the sovereignty of God and
stife the consciousness OF judg-
ment. Upon the walls of their lives
the hand writes daily. To their ears
continually comes the warning call OF
God. Into the Silly recesses of their
souls the still, small voice speaks.
But like Belshazzar they are needless.
They mock the God who cannot be
mocked.
1t is good that God warns. 1t is
we'll that we should hear and profit
and reform. For if we do not, indi-
vidually as nationally, we shall be
overwhelmed. 1t could not be other
wise. 1t ought not to be different.
1t is for us to watch out lest it be
said of US that in the day of warning
we were slain
