The merchants are having the usual
troubles with the shop filters, but they
are to great extent to blame them
selves for the prevalence Of the shop
lifting mania. +" Time and again
they have refused to prosecute people
caught stealing in their stores and this
mistaken leniency has had the effect
Of making the thieves holder than ever.
They take it for granted that they will
not be punished If they are caught and
may be expected to go on stealing I'M

ALL SELLING STAMPS
Red Cross Stamps to Stamp Out White
Plague Being Pushed in All Cities

I Churches in Milwaukee, Lacrosse
and Amigo, Wis, are enthusiastically
supporting the Red Cross holiday
stamp selling campaign of the Wiscon-
sin Anti-tube1culosis association to
raise funds to wipe out consumption in
this state. This support is not only
from the pastors and priests personally
but entire congregations.
tuberculosis Sunday ON which
one church service will be devoted en-
tirely to spreading the doctrine of anti
tuberculosis from the pulpit, are be
ing arranged il these three cities, and
it is expected that other cities will fall
in line and push the worthy cause in
this manner.
The churchmen without exception
praise the work highly and say that the
Red Cross stamp campaign is deserving
o the support Of every person in Wis
consin because it will result in great
benefit to each and every person. The
fact that the churches are supporting
this movement certainly is deserving
of the consideration of everyone for
q movement must be worthy to get
their support
Buy stamp and urge your friends
to buy one, and get everybody interest
ed is the word from the headquarters
in Milwaukee, Only in this way can
the 100000 Christmas greeting stamps
be sold by Jan. 1. There are plenty
of stamps for all, and applications sent
to Stanley A. Douglas, campaign man
ager, Al Goldsmith building, Milwau
kee, will receive prompt response.

WILL AMEND LAW
County Boards Adopt Resolution
Urging Legislature to Change
inheritance Tax Law
LARGER SHARE FOR COUNTIES

That changes will be made in the in
heritance tax at the coming session of
the legislature is evident from the
recommendation Of the County Boards
through the state and from sugges-
tions of the state officials Either the
counties will be given larger share
of the total tax collected, instead of a
per cent of the amount as at the pres
ent time or district attorneys will be
explicitly instructed to appear in all
cases regardless of their size and i'm
portance. Either way would fully pro-
tect the ST. tie IS interest. The plan to
give the county a larger share would
stimulate a sufficient interest in the
separate counties to make a more com
plete enforcement Of the law possible
There has been some suggestions that
a separate department. should be estab-
ished as in New York for handling in
heritance tax collections.
The results of a more complete en-
forcement Of the inheritance law I'M
der a statute passed at the last session
Of the legislature, explicitly providing
that the attorney general s department
shall attend to all matters pertaining
to the enforcement of the statute in re-
spect to collections, has brought bene-
fcent results.
During the past year First Assistant
Attorney General A. G. Titus has at
tended largely to this matter, travelling
to the different counties of the state
and assisting the district attorneys in
litigation, One clerk in the attorney
generals department is employed al
most continuously on this matter. AS
soon as the reports are made to the
department Of inheritance taxes to be
collected from estates, either Attorney
General Gilbert, or one Of his assistants
Immediately takes the matter in charge
advising the district attorney on mat
ters Of law and giving all possible as
sistance. Recently estates which were
closed have been reopened and last
week an estate case in Iowa was re-
opened, in which Wisconsin was inter
ested, and $2,7Oo.75 was collected as
the result.

u. S. Govt Being Asked to Put
An Endto Combine TO Boost
Butter Prices
CLAIM PRICES ARE TOO HIGH

Efforts on the part of the bull clique
of produce men to advance further the
price of butter viii encounter vigorous
opposition from consumers in general,
dealers say, and it is possible the
federal authorities will take action in
the matter.
The alleged combine, which, it is
claimed has extended it's operations
in storage butter to all the leading
markets of the country, is said to be
composed Of dealers in several states.
This possibly would bring it within
the jurisdiction of the Sherman anti
trust law in case values were raised
arbitrarily.
The suggestion that the Sherman law
might apply to this case was commented
on by United States District Attorney
Sims, who said that although the fed
eral authorities had never to his
knowledge investigated combines seek
ing to control the butter market, the
antitrust statute was framed to pro
tect the consumer from unjust condi-
TONS

affecting interstate commerce, were
shown to exist, it undoubtedly would
be prosecuted promptly by this office or
some other branch Of the government"
said Mr.. Sims. cit is the policy of
this office to investigate without delay
all meritorius complaints brought to
its attention. -
The removal of restrictions on the
production of oleomargarine, which
were placed on the statute books large
ly through the efforts Of butter dealers,
also was suggested as feasible mode
of curbing the manipulators. At the
present time the high prices prevailing
for butter are making it possible for
manufacturers Of various brands Of
oleOmargarine to make good profits,
and it is believed that even if the re.
strictive taxes are not removed it will
be possible for the public to obtain
healthful substitutes for butter at an
abnormal price.

for butter are not warranted by condi-
tions is shown by the statement of local
stocks outside Of cold storage. These
supplies were estimated at 1920 tubs
on Nov. /, compared to 3,577 tubs on
the same date last year. Of creamery
butter supplies held by commission
firms outside of storage stock there
were estimated to be 1855 tubs, against
3,103 tubs on the corresponding date
in 1907.
The cold wave has added more woe
to the lot of the housekeeper, another
l cent advance in the price Of eggs,
being ascribed to the sharp lowering
of temperatures, and it is expected that
the penny upturn in the wholesale
price will be reflected by further or
cent exaction from the retailer.

Mrs. Minnie kisten Makes Strange
Charges Against Her Hus.
oand in Divorce Action
WAS TWICE SENT TO ASYLUM
Wife Claims That Her Husband Malici-
ously Conspired With Relatives to
Have Her Committed to
State Institution

Summons and complaint has been
served in sensational action for di-
vorce brought by Mrs. Minnie Kisten
against her husband Charles Kisten a
well known employe of the Kenosha
Crib company, which is one Of the most
unusual complaints ever filed in the
courts Of Kenosha county. lii her com
plant Mrs. Kisten alleges that her hus
band conspired with other relatives to
have her sent to an asylum for the in
sane and that twice in the last four
years she was committed to state in
stitutions on the instigation of her hus-
band Notwithstanding the fact that she
was sane. She alleges that her hus-
band took this action in order to pre-
vent her starting an action for divorce
and in this way make public series of
cruel and inhuman treatments which
she alleges the husband forced her to
submit to. The suit is brought for the
wife by Randall and Drury and it is
understood that it will be contested
when heard in the Circuit Court fo1
the county.
The first hearing in the case was be-
fore Court Commissioner Buckmaster
this afternoon on the motion Of the
wife that the husband be ordered to
show cause why he should not pay
temporary alirnony and suit money
Both the plaintiff and the defendant
are known widely in Kenosha and the
charges of the wife will be of interest
to many people. Mrs, Kisten was re
stored to her civil rights by a decree
handed down by Judge Slosson in the
County Court a few days ago and she
at once began the action for divorce
from her husband. In her complaint
she demands the custody of the two
minor children and alimony in the dis
erection Of the court.
The complaint states that the couple
were married in Marshfeld on Feb II,
1897, but that for the past seven years
they have resided in Kenosha. Mrs.
Kisten claims that her husband for
many years had treated her in a cruel
and inhuman manner and had repeated
~ struck her and that in August 1905,
he conspired with his relatives to get
her out Of the way and as a result Of
this conspiracy she was sent to the
state asylum for the insane at Whine
bago. She was released after being
in the hospital for a short time and
she alleges that on her return her hus
band continued his treatment Of her
repeatedly declaring that he would
have her placed in another asylum and
kept there and that he secured her
commitment to the state hospital at
Mendoza in December of last year. She
alleges that she was released few
weeks after going to the hospital and
that since that her husband had con
tinually held the threat of the asylum
over her.

The only tribunal, save the battle
field, before which the acts of nations
pass in review is the court Of public
opinion. The sentiment of the world
will not tolerate acts which would
have been uncondemned 200 years ago,
and those who are responsible for
government today would not do such
things But this fact does not make
treaties today more binding than old
treaties. Although such agreements
are too often broken, yet it is well
to make them and right to condemn
nations for violating them; for it is in
that way that. the sentiment grows
which will in the distant future success
fully demand an international police
force to execute the law of ma
tions.-Youths Compaion.

1T would be good business policy for
the Council to make ha.J and fast
rule that money appropriated to one
fund shall be kept separate in that
fund and shall be used for nothing
else than the purpose for which Ii was
originally set aside. There is alto.
gether too much leeway under the
present system of letting any fund
overdraw and too many chances for
slime work. - Money may BIZ appro
priated now for certain purposes with
the entire consent and approval of all
taxpayers, but it may never be used
for the purpose stated at all. but for
something entirely different and for
purposes that might not be generally
approved of at all. 1t is not overstat-
ing the case to say that in many in
stances it looks very much as if ap-
preparations had been made to certain
funds when there was no intention Of
using the money in those funds and
for the sole purpose of confusing the
general run of taxpayers and making
it difficult for them to see just where
their money goes to. The present
condition of the harbor and break
water account furnishes good illus
tration of the way this system is
worked. The finance committee is
trying right now to squeeze out a lit
tie money in the next levy for break
water repairs that are absolutely
needed and should have been made this
summer. They will have to be made
next summer if the breakwaters are to
be saved. This in the face Of the tact
that the books of the city show Gre
dit balance Of over $4,000 in the har
Dor and breakwater fund-money that
was appropriated long time ago, but
not one cent of which is now available
1t has all been spent for something
else and it is now necessary to raise
more money for breakwater repairs
You will notice that the proposition
sounds all right. Nobody could rea-
sonably object to repairing the break
waters because if the repairs are not
made at once we shall soon have to
build new ones. But suppose that
money is raised in the coming tax levy
for these repairs. What guarantee is
there under the present system that it
will ever be used for that purpose9
None at all. It will probably be used
for something else just as the previous
appropriations have been for there is
every indication that the city will be
fat broke long before there is any
chance to work on the breakwaters
The city will always be short of money
until all appropriations are kept separ-
ate and never allowed to be over
drawn; until a certain sum is set aside
every year when the levy is made and
the men who spend the money made to
keep inside of it.

Promoters of the Alleged Claim
Against Durkee Estate Now
Getting Some Real Money
WAUKESHA FARMER is STUNC
Comes to Kenosha to Investigate the
Estate in Which He Purchased
Largely and Gets a dis
appointment

The Durkee claim is working again.
Judge Slosson found it out yesterday
when a well dressed man evidently
from the rural districts came to his
Office and asked that he be given all
the information possible in regard to
the estate of the late Senator Durkee
The judge accommodated him and then
sought to see just how badly the man
had been stung by the promoters of
the new claim against the government
However, the man was reticent and de
clined to give out the story of the
new swindle which is being worked.
He stated that he was farmer in
Waukesha county and that recently a
number of farmers in that section OF
the state had taken shares in the al
legged claim and that all of them ex-
pected to realize great profits on their
investment. Judge Slosson asked the
man his name but he declined to give
it stating that he did not care to get
any notoriety in his efforts to finance
the old fight for the mythical millions
of the Durkee estate.
A quiet little investigation is being
made of this new effort to put forward
the old swindIe and it is learned that
agents of the men now pushing the
alleged claim are working in all parts
Of the country, but that Wisconsin and
even the territory immediately adjoin-
ing Kenosha is the part that is being
worked the hardest In speaking of
the matter this morning Judge Slos-
son said: "'The old saying of P I.
Barnum that sucker is born every
minute is certainly proving true in the
case of the men now urging this Dur
kee claim business Notwithstanding
the numerous decisions Of the different
courts in the nation in the matter
these men are still working Every
time there is a court decision regard
less Of the effect of it these fellows
start work again and go to the rural
districts declaring that they are now
near to the collection of the claim
The prices secured from the suckers
fer the shares vary. In some cases
people have paid as high as a quarter
for shares valued at a. dollar while in
most cases the ruling price for the
shares has been five cents. The man
from Waukesha, like lot of others,
had not gone into the scheme deeply,
but he had taken enough to make
nest egg for the men backing the
scheme and what was more the fact
that ne bought was sufficient to cause
other people in the neighborhood to buy
am asked to send out the files Of the
old Durkee estate many times each
year and these old files have been
copied and re-copied until they are
pretty nearly worn out"
The United States government offici-
ais have been advised Of the fact that
the old swindle is being worked and
that a new effort is being made to
finance the claim and it is probable
that some steps will be taken to stop
the sale Of the "stock" in the claim.

The present administration has all
the elements Of a farce comedy for
those who have no financial stake in
the game, but there is a good deal of
tragedy in it for the tax payers for all
that. Do not cheer them up by saying,
II told you 500 for that is the last
straw and they should not be annoyed
in any way. They are paying for, all
the fun and they should be allowed to
get all the comfort they can out Of
that fact.

1t has been suggested that the gov
eminent investigate the butter com
bine which is alleged to be responsible
for the present high prices Of that pro
duct but an easier and simpler way to
break up the combine would be to take
the tax off oleomargarine. The butter
men appear to have over-reaehed them
selves and their avarice has stirred up
a demand for the removal of the tax on
oleo which is going to make it diff
fcult for them to hold their present
when the next fight for the
repeal of the oleomargarine law comes
up in congress. The people are being
educated up to buying oleomargarine
for just what it is and not as substi
tute for butter-as olemargarine not
imitation butter-and that also is
bound to affect the attitude of the law
makers.

Members of .Fraternal Order in County
Seek to Find Missing Member

Hundreds of members of the Modern
Woodmen of America have pledged
themselves to aid in the search for
Otto Russell who has been missing from
Kenosha for nearly two weeks. Rus
sell is member of the Kenosha camp
of the order and he left the city while
seemingly insane more than ten days
ago and since that time absolutely no
trace has been found of him. He is
supposed TO have wandered to some
part Of the county and may have found
shelter at some farm house. AS the
Woodmen cover practically every part
of the county the relatives of Russell
are hopeful that they will be able to
find him.
