SEE NEED OF MORE FACILITIES
Government officials Notified Post
master Maloney Long Ago That
Branch Rather Than Enlargement
Was Needed.

Business men in Kenosha are TAX
ing up the question of an enlargement
of the facilities Of the Kenosha post
Office for while the officials in charge
insist that the equipment is amply suf
fcient toftake care Of the needs of the
Office for five or six years at least the
business men interested in the move
ment insist that the time to start to
secure the building of branch office
is now and the matter has already been
taken up with Congressman H. A. Coop
er. and other officials. Before the com
pletion Of the present postofice build
ing a number of the business men saw
that Kenosha would soon demand more
room for the handling of the mails and
headed by z. G. Simmons petition
was sent to Washington asking that the
plans for the building be changed so as
to make it larger. On the receipt of
the petition the officials at Washing
ton sent a letter to Postmaster Ma
loney in which it was stated that it
was not the policy of the government
to build larger buildings in towns the
size Of Kenosha but to provide for the
increase in the business Of the office by
the building Of branch Offices in other
portions of the city The present build
ing they held was large enough to take
care of all the wants of Kenosha so far
as a Central office was concerned. The
branch plan is now being used in Ra-
cine and Cooper Station is the first
of the branches to be opened by the
department in that city The business
done at this branch in Racine is now
as large as the. entire business done In
Kenosha. The plan works admirably
and the handling of the mails is great
ly facilitated. The distribution of the
mails from the branch office is ar
ranged on the various trains carrying.
mails into the cities and men from
these Offices are placed aboard the
trains to divide the mail so that it,will
be taken to the proper branches. The
branch offices are put in charge Of an
assistant postmaster and all work done
in the main office can be done in the
branches. Postmaster Maloney is not
as yet ready to recommend the building
of a branch Office in Kenosha. as the
business Of the city at this time would
not warrant the expenditure for the
maintenance of such a branch. The
Office at this time has three sub-stations
for the handling Of money orders and
the sale of stamps but no mail is dis
patched or distributed through these
sub-stations. 1t is probable, that the
growth of the city will demand the
opening of other sub stations within the
next few years, In the meantime it
is the purpose of the business men to
push the demand. for an appropriation
for a. branch Office in Kenosha.

WOULD AVOID HOT WEATHER
Jurors Will Be Drawn in the Regular
Manner But They Will Be Ordered to
Report for Duty On the Fourth Mon
day in September

Judge E. B. Belden has declared for
a change in the date Of the opening of
the September term of the circuit court
and this year the attorneys and wit.
nesses win not be expected to swelter
in the court room during the early
weeks of September as the court has
announced that court will not begin
on the second Monday in September
as has been the rule in other years but
ION the fourth Monday in the month.
This change in the date Of the open
ing of the term may be made perman-
ent but if it is the change must be
made by legislative enactment. Sep
TENDER is one of the hottest months of
the year in Kenosha and past years
have shown that few attorneys can be
prevailed upon to try cases in court
during the month. This has caused
Judge Belden to take the step for
changing the date of the opening Of the
term. In letter to Clerk of the Cir
cult Court Waldo, Judge Belden orders
that the jurors be drawn as in other
years but that all jurors be notified not
to report for duty until the fourth
Monday in the month In his letter
Judge Belden says in part: f'For sew
eral years past; because of the heat at
the time for the beginning of the Sep
TENDER term Of the circuit court for
Kenosha county, because attorneys
have asked adjournments for the reae
son that just having returned from
their vacation their cases were not yet
ready for trial, and because adjourn
ments have usually been had on &C.
count Of the State and Walworth coun-
ty fairs, l have concluded not to be-
gin trial work, at least jury work, un-
til the fourth Monday of September
instead of the second Monday.
"You are instructed therefore in
summoning Jurors for the September
term, while they should be summoned
regularly for the term beginning the
second Monday of September, you may
advise them that they need not report
for duty until the fourth Monday in
September. "
Judge Belden announces that if the
weather is not too oppressive he may
come to Kenosha earlier in the month
to hear few court cases but that the
clerk of the court is formally instructed
to open the term on the second Mon
day Of the month and adjourn all cases
for two weeks. The third Monday ii
September will be naturalization day
and the plans for the other court work
will not interfere with the admitting
of citizens on that day and any of them
may be on hand to secure their second
papers. But six applications for sec
ond papers are now on file with the
clerk.
The change in the date for the open
ing of the term is hailed with delight
by the members Of the bar and court
officials in the city and for this reason
it is thought that steps, will be taken
to make the new date the permanent
date for the opening Of the September
term.

ASKS AID OF PARTY CHAIRhEN
Laws Passed at Last Session of Legis-
lature Calls for Different Colored Bal
lots for Each Political Party and
Chairmen Must Make Selection.


The several political parties of Wis
consin may have colored ballots at fu-
ture elections as Secretary of State
Frear has discovered a new law which
requires him to determine the color of
party ballots used hereafter in this
state and to assist him in selecting
color for each party ticket Mr.. Frear
has asked the state chairmen of polIti
cal committees to make suggestions.
In Kenosha the voting machine is.
used so that colored ballots will not
be necessary but in the remainder of
the county colored ballots will prob
ably be used and perhaps the work
ers for the several candidates may by
watching the voters, be able to tell
how their respective. candidate is be-
ing voted for on election day.
Secretary of State Frear has been
called upon to,deoide q unique. question
which has originated under a law pass
ed at the last legislature relative to the
colors of party tickets which are to be
used by the different political parties of
the state in districts in which the
Dunn-Pocket ballot is used This ball
lot consists of colored cardboard, a
separate color being given for each
political party and the law passed at
the last session provides that county
boards may adopt the ballot at their
discretion.
The county boards of La Crosse and
Eau Claire have voted in favor of the
colored ballot, and when the chairman
Of the different state central commit
tees fail to agree upon the coIors, it is
provided that the secretary of state
must decide the question.
Secretary Frear is confronted with
the fact that no law requires the names
of the chairman of the state central
committees to be filed in his Office and
the records are Incomplete in this par
ticular. However, acting on the infor-
nation he has, notifications have been
sent to Victor Berger, E. A. Edmunds,
Joseph E. Daviese and w. D. Cox, rep
.resenting the Socialist, Republican,
Democratic and Prohibition parties.
In his letter Secretary Frear calls
attention to the possible Importance
that may be attached to the adoption
of the colors, for the reason that other
counties of the state may be Induced
to accept it and when once determined
in the state, the color remains until
some act of the legislature changes it.,
The colors proposed are red, blue,
green and yellow, or such colors as
will be easily distinguishable.
The secretary. suggests in his letter
that the four chairmen meet and agree
upon the different colors, if possible, al
though this is not authorized by law
the Secretary desires ito settle the
matter either by law or in such man.

G. E. Worster Dies Suddenly
at Breckenridge, COL,
on Sunday
SUPPOSE TWAS HEARTDIsEASE

kilograms received in Kenosha this
morning announce the death at Brock
enridge, Colorado, Of G. E. Worster one
Of the best known Of the office EN-
ployees of the Thomas B. Jeffrey com
pany at Z O'Clock Sunday evening. 1t
is supposed that. death resulted from
heart disease but no particulars are yet
known in this city. About two years
ago Mr.. Worster suffered very. severe
attack Of heart disease from which he
never fully recovered and when he an
nounced his intention Of taking his va
cation in Colorado friends endeavored
to dissuade him from making the trip
fearing that the high attitudes would
be too much for him. Mr. Worster
laughed at their fears, however, and in
sisted that a. hunting and fishing trip in
the mountains would do him good. With
friend he left Denver about a week
ago and went into the mountains and it
is supposed the over exertion brought
on the fatal attack of heart disease
which ended his life. Letters received
in the city only an hour or two before
the kilograms announcing his death
stated that he was in his usual health
and enjoying his vacation very much.
Mr.. Worster had been in the employ
of the Jeffrey company for the past six
years and had made many friends in
this city to whom the announcement of
his death will come as a severe shock.
He is survived by a wife and one child.
The remains will not be brought to
Kenosha but will be taken directly to
Pittsburg, the old home tof Mr.. Worster,
for interment. The deceased was
member of the Masonic fraternity and
it is expected that the Masons vii have
charge Of the funeral arrangements.
