Bonds of Kenosha Water Co.
Called for Payment on Oct.
18th Money is Lacking
BOARD CANNOT RAISE $4,000

The city council has made no pro-
vision for the payment of the bonds
of the City Water company which are
to be presented for payment at the
First National bank on Oct. 18th and
it is declared by the members of the
board of water commissioners that the
commission will not be able to meet
the payment of all the bonds. The
amount due is close to $S1, 900 and it
is declared that the commission will not
have cash to exceed $4,000 On the date
set for the payment Of the bonds and
what is more to the point the commits
sion will not have any other funds I'M
til after the middle of November when
the rentals for the past six months
come in. 1t was expected that the city
council at its meeting on Monday even
ing would take some step to raise the
money needed to meet the bonds but
nothing was done and the matter of the
did not even come before the council.
The First National bank following the
order of the city council has sent out
a formal notice calling all the bonds
for, payment and the bonds have been
surrendered to brokers in the East and
the bank has received notice that the
bonds will be on hand at the time set
by the formal notice Of the city. 1t
is beginning to look as if there would
be slip down in the plan. It has been
suggested that even though the call has
been sent out it would not be absolutely
necessary for the city to take up the
bonds and it is certain that the bond
holders would be satisfied to hold them
for another year or another ten years
II the council deemed so long a time
necessary. The council has only a
small amount of money on hand and
should the $4,000 of $4,000 needed be
complete the retirement fund be drawn
from the city treasurer s fund it would
leave the city practically strapped.
The water commissioner s funds will
be badly depleted if the company paws
$4,000 for the retirement of the bonds
and the commission will be forced to
ask for time for the payment Of some
of its outstanding bills. There are ex-
tensions pending but it is probable
that these will have to wait until the
commission can recoup its finances. IF
the bonds can be paid off the amount
that has been set aside annually for
interest might be used in building IN
and extending the plant but it is ex-
pected that the money will simply be
appropriated to other needs of the CITY
in general and not used for the water
department. 1t looks as if the water
commission would have to be reorgan.
lied and some new plans made for
financing the plant under the direct
supervision of the city council.

Manager OLA Follette's Cam
paign Put on Republican
Ticket for Atty. General
OUTLINE PLAN FOR CAMPAIGN

The new Republican state committee
held its first meeting yesterday at the
Milwaukee Athletic club and elected
William L. Essman, manager of the
McGovern primary campaign, secretary
and formally names Charles n. Crown
hart of Superior as the Republican
candidate for attorney general in place
OF Frank Tucker, deceased.
The state candidates and Mr.. Crown
hart met with the committee, the latter
being summoned after his selection for
the attorney generalship. The only alb
sentee on the state ticket was Thomas
Morris, candidate for lieutenant GOV
ernor. Of the twenty-five committee
men all but four were present.
The election of Mr.. Essman was I'M
anlmous, as was the selection of Mr..
Crownhart as the candidate for attor-
ney general. The headquarters on the
second floor of the Merrill building,
I'll Grand avenue, Milwaukee, occu-
fpied during the primary campaign by
the McGovern forces, were selected as
the state headquarters. The committee
will take possession today, getting
ready for business at once.
There was considerable discussion of
methods of conducting the campaign.
1t seemed the general opinion that a
short, sharp campaign should be con
Quoted, on the theory that the people
had learned the issue very thoroughly
in che primary campaign, hence pro-
tracted speech making campaign was
not necessary at this time.
The following telegram, signed by
Chairman Henry Krumrey, was sent to
Senator LaF'ollette at Rochester, Mimi,
during the session of the committee:
1.-THE Republican state central COM
mittee, eighteen members present and
the nominees for state offices send greet
ings and good wishes. Crownhart I'M
anilnously nominated and plans outlin-
ed for vigorous fall campaign.

{ DEFENSE STARTS CASE.
Fragai Brothers Seek To Show That
They Fired in Self Defense.


The state closed it's case in the Fra
gall brothers in Racine late Tuesday
afternoon and today the defendants are
seeking to convince the jury that the
two men shot in self-deense. Many
witnesses were. summoned from Keno
sha Tuesday night and this morning
to testify to the character of the Ital-
ians. The first witness called by the
defense was the boarding house keeper
from Kenosha and she testified that
the two men had been wounded when
they returned to Kenosha after the
shooting. 1t is expected that the case
will go to the jury late this afternoon.

PLACE FOR KENosHA.
Aurora, Ill. Fans Declare Kenosha May
Get Into the State League.

kenosha base ball fans will be inter
ested In letter sent out from Aurora,
Illinois in which it is stated that the
Kenosha base ball team is being Stat
ed for berth in the Wisconsin, Illinois
league for next season to take the
place of Racine which will be forced
TO drop out on account of the failure
of the people of that city to support
the team. The news from Aurora has
no confirmation in kenosha and as far
as can be learned there are none of the
local base ball promoters seeking the
league franchise. The managers claim
to have lost money playing an OCCASIONAL
game during the season just closed and
if this is the fact it is pretty certain
that every day ball games would not
pay in Kenosha. If Kenosha goes in
to the state circuit it is pretty certain
that the team will be managed by some
outside party.

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three Of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what 1t was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
wal cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
FINALLY I got a set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have Waited a year
and a half to see If 1t would return
but 1t never has and to-day his skin
Is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be-. hope Cuticura may ave some
one eIse's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

Seven poor children, four girls and
three boys, all about ten years old,
went to a nearby seashore resort, in
charge Of two women, for a days out
ing. The funds for the picnic were
provided by two boys who sell papers
and who live in one of the two houses
from which the excursion party was
recruited. One of the women in
charge of the children said that the
boys had arranged the outing "of their
own accord, and the remarkable thing
is this: They are not good boys by
any means and one of them is prob
ably the naughtiest boy in the neigh
borhood. But we think that when boys
do little things like this they will come

Self-confessed "Go-Between" Gives
Sensational Testimony In
Car Repair Case.

of the Ostermann Manufacturing COM
pany, We'd with each other before
Municipal Judge Bruggemeyer in

legged combination, which is charged
with swindling. the Illinois Central oy
car repair frauds.
Goodrich, like Ostermann, was
placed on the stand as a witness for
the prosecution. He described IN de-
tail methods which he said Illinois
Central officials used to conceal their
identity as stockholders in the Oster-
mann repair concern. In testifying,
Ostermann had said certain payments
to the railroad officials were made by
checks to Goodrich. When placed on
the stand Goodrich began his testi-
mony at this point.
1.-THE checks were made out in my
name" Goodrich said. Frank b.
Hartman had asked me some time
previous if / would agree to have
checks made out in my name and &C
cept certain payments for him. /

duced by Attorney Fisher for the pros
ecution. Goodrich identified the iu-
dorsements on them as having been
made by him. Niles went on the
stand several days ago and testified
that payments for Hartman were
made to Goodrich. Most Of the
checks were paid December 10, 1909.

MAKE RADICAL PLATFORM
Document Of Four Thousand Words
Touches a Variety of Subjects
La Toilette Cheered.

Madison, Wis.-What probably is
the most radical platform accepted
in a generation by a Republican
convention was adopted IN Wiscon-
sin. The document is about four
thousand words in length and touches
with no uncertain hand on a great
variety of subjects. 1t is generally
designated as a radically progressive
pronunciamento.
No mention of the national admins
tration was made save to disparage.
Senator La Toilette, although far
from well, was present for the first
time when the resolutions were read.
Mention of his name was invariably
the signal for applause. He addressed
the convention briefly. Features of
the platform are:
Condemnation Of the Payne-Aldrich
act.
Physical valuation of railroads and
more stringent regulation of them.
Second choice primaries,
Initiative, referendum and recall.
Anti-lobby law.
Graduated income tax.
Home rule in the liquor traffic.
National control Of natural re-
sources.
Ad valorem taxation Of corpora
tons.
Condemnation of the Suppression
by special interests in congress" of
the investigations Of the country life
commission.
Regulation of working hours of wo.
men and children.
Urging the federal government to
determine the style of craft best
adapted for river use in the light of
future Improvement Of streams.

PRETTY FLIGHT
Daring Aviator Makes Record Break
ing Trip From Chicago to
Springfield, III.

.I oPti'SiStN III
Springfield, Il.-Aviator Walter
Brookins alighted gracefully in the
fair grounds here at 4:27 o'clock,
seven hours and twelve minutes
out Of Chicago, after having sailed
his Wright biplane the 1921 miles
with two stops. They were at Gil
man, Ill.,, 80 miles from Chicago, at
1880 a. m, and at Mount Pulaski,
ILL.,. 1863 miles from Chicago, at $3.50
D. m.
The first stop was for water, oil
and gasoline; the second for the sane
necessities and because his pump had
broken and the engine became hot.
Brookins arrived at the fair grounds
eight minutes before the station was
reached by the Illinois Central fast
special train. He made the dip to
alight at 4:27 p. M, making 7 hours
IL minutes elapsed time from the start
in Chicago. The actual flying time
was 5 hours "A minutes for the 1927
miles, a n average flying rate Of 80
miles per hour.
