The final accounts in the estates
of the seven men who met death in the
explosion at the plant Of the Latin and

ago have been filed in the County
Court and the small amount Of money
left by each Of the unfortunate men
will be sent to his relatives in Russia.
The estates have been settled by Henry
Jordan the public administrator and
the small sum Of money left by the
men is now in the hands of the court
for distribution. During the year that
the estates have been In the hands of
the court many efforts have been made
to get possession of them by Russians
it being supposed that the company
would pay into each estate the sum
of five hundred dollans. Even the
Russian Consul in Chicago has sent
several letters to Kenosha in regard to
these funds, but the court has held that
the estates must be settled by the local
court. Public Administrator Jordan
has been able to locate the wives of siz
of the men who met death in the, ex-
plosion and it has been established
that the seventh was bachelor with
no near kin dependent upon him for
support. The officials of the Latin
Rand Powder Company placed in the
hands of their attorney, James Cav
anagh three thousand dollars to be paid
to the widows of the men as soon as he
was satisfied of their identity.
Attorney CaWanagh stated yesterday
that he was, satisfied that the public
administrator had found the right
parties and that the money would be
sent to the. women at once. It will
however be sent as part of the. estate.
At the, time of the accident plans
were made to bring suit against the
company on account Of the death of
the foreigners, but this plan was
abandoned it being declared that the
men had no legal claim on the company,
The estates of the three men killed
by the second explosion at the plant
have, not as yet been, settled.

NEED MAIL BOXES
Postmaster MaIoney u ges Citi.
zeOs To Aid in Securing Best
Service in Kenosha


An effort is to be made to have all
residences and offices in the city pro-
vided with suitable box or receptacle
IN which mail can be dropped, and thus
aid the letter carriers in their work
by making the delivery more rapid.
Much time is lost by carriers along
their routes because they are compelled
to wait at doors Of residences I'm / some
person opens the door to receive the
mail. It there were suitable boxes or
receptacles at doors Of all residences
mail could be dropped into them and
the carrier would not lose time at
places where people delay in opening
the doors.
Postmaster Maloney in speaking of
the matter said:
1t is my desire to give the patrons
of the Kenosha postofice the best ser
vice possible. If every patron would
provide suitable box or receptacle for
his mail, at some convenient place, de-
iveries could be greatly expedited.
Where no such receptacle is pro
vlded, carriers are frequently required
to return the mail to the postoffice, be-
cause there is on one at home to re-
ceive it. This is likely to delay the
delivery several hours and sometimes
over night.
"There is nothing in the postal laws
and regulations at the present time
that requires patrons to provide suita-
BILE mail box, but che postoffce depart
ment has recommended that the law
be amended 50 that mail shall not be
delivered by city carriers where ap-
proved mail reeeptacles are not placed
at the door or entrance.
''The carriers of this city were re-
Gently directed to furnish me with a
list of all houses and places of business
on their respective routes which were
! not, supplied with such leceptacles.
1t patrons have not already done so
they are urged to cooperate with the
postmaster in his efforts to improve the
service to the extent Of providing q
suitable receptacle for the deposit OF
mail by the carrier"

Bankruptcy Proceedings at this Time

Bankruptcy Proceedings at this Time
In the United States Court at Mil
waukee Wednesday Henry B. Robin
son president Of the Merchants and
Savings Bank was named as custodian
for the assets of M. M Huck adiudicat-
ed bankrupt and in an effort to save
the money for the creditors of the
jeweler, no receiver will be named at
this time.
1t is planned to have the stock and
other assets held by the custodian until
such time as a trustee in bankruptcy
may be named by the court. It is said
that Thomas Weston is being urged for
this place by the creditors on account
of the fact that he has had wide ex-
perience in disposing Of bankrupt stocks
and that it is thought that he would
be able to get more for the creditors
than any one else that could be sug-
gested by the creditors The hearing
of the case has been set for Feb. -.

FEAR WARM WEATHER.
Farmers of the County Anxious to Have
Cold Weather Continue

The ground is frozen harder right
now than it has been any time this
winter and there are many who would
be glad to see it remain in that con
dltlon for some weeks. to come. With
the return of unnaturally warm weather
will come the unnatural stimulation of
vegetable growth that generally spells
calamity. The swelling Of buds in
February and a sudden change to win
ter weather following it does more
harm to the fruit crop than anything
else. Farmers say that in spite of the
fact that there has not been much
snow, wheat is in fairly good shape and
the worst thing that could happen to
IT would be a succession of freezes
and thaws. While no one wants to
see a repetition of the cold February
of 1901, the farmers and gardeners
would rather see the cold weather ia
that month than in March.
An innocent bystander was asking
the other day why it was, with such
a mild winter for the hens to do their
laying, the egg crop was not more
abundant and cheap. The farmer whom
he was addressing answered: Well
you have seen the last of cheap eggs
and cheap produce Of most any kind
It doesn't make much difference about
the supply nowadays as there is always
market to absorb and hold the sur
plus The hen no longer controls the
situation. Milk, eggs and bu5ter are
going TO be higher from now on until
the dawn Of the millennium brings tae
abolition of the trusts. =

WORK is STARTED
State Park Commission Seeks to Arouse
Public Interest in Plans for state Parks

State Park Commission Seeks TO Arouse
Public Interest in Plans for State Parks
The wide interest that is felt in the
proposition to purchase and preserve
as state parks large tracts Of land III
different portions of the state, is shown
by the fact that within two years near
ly 100 Woman S Clubs in Wisconsin
have voted unanimously in favor of
It. 10 preserve in their native wild
beauty great tracts Of forest land, with
their lakes and streams, to be for all
time the recreation grounds and health
resorts of the people where without let
or hlndrance they can put up their
camps and enjoy nature at home, is a
most worthy enterprise.
The members of the State Park
Board who have been appointed by
the governor to perform the duty of
selecting and recommending the tracts,
are serving the state without compensa-
ton, and solely because of their deep
interest In the project They have in
mind SIX tracts, two in the northern
forest and lake regions, two in the
more central picturesque regions and
two IN the southwestern portion of the
state.
Aside from the great advantage such
parks would offer TO the citizens of the
state It is, estimated that they would
draw thousands of pleasure seekers
each year from other states and thus
constitute permanent source Of in
come. Several New England States
each have millions of dollars brought
annually to their citizens by tourists
from other parts of the country. All
ready Wisconsin is accounted a most
attractive resort for fishing and outing
and the reservations would great in
crease it's fame in this regard.

New Law introduced in Congress
To Give Every Civil War Vet.
teran $50 a Month
DAWES HAS A NEW SCHEME
Bill for the Pensioning of all Veterans
Being Strongly Urged by Candi-
date for Grand Comman-
derry of Grand Army

A pension of $50 per month for each
surviving veteran of the Union army
in the Civil war is provided for in a
bill introduced by Congressman Dawes,
who is said to be candidate for COM
mander-in-chief of the G. A. R..
When the service pension act was
passed last February there YVES much
speculation as to what it's effect would
be in placing upon the pension rolls
the names of soldiers and sailors who
heretofore had never made application
for the government IS bounty.
Some of the officials at the pension
office were Of the opinion that there
would be as many as 100000 applica-
tions from members Of the so-called
unknown army"
Few persons thought the number
would be less than 100000.
The first pension certificates. under
it were issued eight days later.
Up to the first Of the present year
282,859 certificates granting pensions
under this act had been issued.
The total number Of certificates is
sued under all other laws last year was
60,879. Only 1851 new names are on
the pension rolls at this time as a re-
suit of the legislation in February.
About 100000 applications for pen
sions under the service law-most of
them being from men now on the rolls
who desire to take advantage of the
higher rating afforded by the legisla-
ton of last February-are pending in
the pension office.
Many of these cases have been de-
layed by reason of the discrepancy as
to the age Of the applicant shown in
the application and the age shown BY
the records of the war department.
Fifty applications for pensions under
the service law were filed on the day
the act went into effect.
On the following day more than 100
applications were received and in the
two or three weeks following 1000 APP
plications daily were not unusual.
The service pension law provides for
the allowance of a pension of $12 a
month to soldiers between the age of
62 and 70 years who served ninety
days; a pension of $15 month to sol
diers between the age Of 70 and rs
years, and a pension of 500 to soldiers
over IS years.
In the last few weeks many senators
and representatives have been asked
by pensioners whether it. will be neces,
sary for them to make new applications
when they reach the period of life
which qualities them to receive a. higher
rating.
For instance soldier SO years old,
and pensioned at $12, would he en-
titled to a rating of $15 on his next
birthday.
The commissioner of pensions holds
that in case of this kind the pensioner
must file a new application. He says
it is possible for the pension. Office
to keep a birthday book. y
AS all pensions under the service
law date from the day of applications,
and not from the day of allowance,
applicants will suffer no financial loss
by reason of this regulation, provid-
ed they make application on the day
when they reach an age that entities
them to a higher rating.

bitterness that Bryan has shown dur
ing the preliminary campaign for the
Presidential nomination. 1t was en-
tirely unexpected to all save few of
the leaders of the Pennsylvania dele
cation, who had an intimation OF
what Bryan was to do.
Guffey has been bitterly opposed to
Bryan. He has fought him tooth and

this: Shall the people run their own
