MUST Go TO JURY.
Judge Belden Refuses to Grant a Non
Suit in the Salem Road Case.
From Wednesdays Daily

ALAOnl w CdAOOtldJ J
The suit of Edward Collier against
the town Of Salem must go to the jury
as this morning Judge Belden refused
to grant non-suit in the case on the
motion of Attorney R. v. Baker who
appeared for the defendant town. He
argued that a non-suit should be
granted on the grounds that the neg
ligence of the plaintiff in driving the
automobile contributed to the accident
but the court after hearing the argu-
ment Of the attorneys refused to grant
the motion and the defendants attor-
ney began the introduction of evidence.
The defense will seek to show that the
accident was due largely to the lack
of proper lamps on the automobile and
the fact that it was being driven at a
high rate of speed. Peter Peterson the
man whose buggy was in the road at
the time Of the accident was the prin-
cipal witness for the defendant. The
evidence produced by the plaintiff was
practically the same story given at the
time of the accident. It is thought that
the case will reach the jury late this
afternoon or Thursday morning.

INSPECTORS UNDER CIVIL RULE
Farmers Sign Petitions With a View
of Getting Inspection of Mix out
of the Hands of Chicago Political
Inspectors.

Dairy farmers in Kenosha county at
the suggestion of the Milk Producers
Protective Association have started a
movement to place the inspection of
milk under the direct supervision of
the state and petitions are being cir
culated in the county addressed to the
next session of the legislature which de-
mand that some law be passed to pro-
vide for a state inspection of milk. The
movement in this state is the same as
has been made in other states under
the direction of the Protective associa-
ton and it is pretty certain that petit
tions will 60 to the Wisconsin legisla-
ture from nearly every county in the
southern part of the state. Assembly
man w. M. Curtiss is expected to be a
leader in the fight for this legislation
if he is reelected to succeed himself
in the legislature as the representative
from Kenosha county, At the present
time the farmers in this county are
badly handicapped on account of the
fact that all milk shipped to Chicago
is forced to pass the inspection of the
Chicago Health Department. 1t is
claimed that at times the delay in get
ting the milk inspected results in losses
to farmers. The petitions now in circula-
ton have for their object the securing
of a permanent state standard for sani-
tation and purity of milk and the APP
pointment Of state inspectors under
the civil service who will have charge
of this work. AT the present time most
Of this work is done either by federal
inspectors who make periodic trips to
the farms of the county or by the in
spectors of the Chicago Health De-
partment.
Farmers declare that they would be
willing to pay small fee for the
maintenance of inspectors and that by
the payment of this fee every milk
platform would have it's inspector and
all delays in the shipment of milk
would be eliminated. 1t is declared
that this would remove milk inspection
prom politics and>place it in the hands
Of competent men. The petitions are
being largely signed in this county and
it is pretty certain that the dairy in
terests of the county will be almost
unanimous in the support of the pro-
ject.
The cost of the inspection would add
nothing to the cost Of the state as the
entire pay of the inspectors would be
raised among the shippers interested in
a non political inspection.

TO ISSUE new STOCK
Stockholders of Old Settlers
Club to Add to Property
at Paddocks Lake
WILL ERECT new BUILDINGS

Charles NJ. Bishop, secretary of the
Old Settlers Club of Kenosha county
has issued call for a meeting of all
Of the stockholders Of the club to be
held at the court house in Kenosha on
the afternoon of Nov. 10Th at which
time action will be taken to increase
the stock Of the club to $4,000 and to
make provision for the erection of new
buildings on the property of the club
at Paddock's Lake. 1t is proposed to
build home for the care taker of the
grounds and with the erection of this
home it is expected that the care taker
will remain on the grounds at all times
and that the club will be able to secure
some revenue from the rent of the
grounds for use of picnic parties A
general overhauling of the buildings on
the grounds is also proposed The
fences viii be rebuilt and the buildings
will be placed in first class condition in
every way.
The season just closing was one Of
the worst in the history Of the organiza-
ton On account of the fact that rain
fell in torrents on both days set aside
for picnics at the grounds and no
money was realized from the picnics.
This is the first year since the organ
ization of the club that both of the
annual gatherings were failures. Not
withstanding the fact that the club
has had no income this year from the
picnics there is still small amount of
money in the treasury and the issu-
ance Of the new stock is to be made
for the purpose of taking care of per-
manent improvements rather than for
the payment of the running expenses
of the organization. It is thought that
it will be an easy matter to dispose
of the new stock as the present stock
in the organization is held by only a
few men. In order to issue the stock
it is necessary to have vote of two
thirds of the stock holders in favor of
the proposition.
The question of building new build
ings was discussed at the annual meet
ing of the board of directors and all
Of the directors were favorable to the
plan.
There has been a suggestion that a
memorial hall be erected on the grounds
of the old settlers club but this sug-
gestion has not met with great favor
on account of the fact that most of the
people interested in the preservation
of the memorials of the county believe
that they should be taken care of in
the city where they would be more
available to the people of the entire
countys

next Monday night is described as fol

Then comes the jarring note, Sc

swells into suspicion and doubt, then
blind rage and the household is rent;
its happiness gone. Then rises the 9th.

swells upon the ear until its beauty and
divine harmony brings the discordani

full accord. That is SThe Rosary,

SETTLES FERRET QUESTION.
State Game Warden Rickeman Declares
That Ferrets May Not Be Used Here.

State Game Warden George Ricke-
man of Madison, has settled the .ques-
tion of hunting rabbits with ferrets in
Kenosha county and his decision is
given in, letter received by County
Clerk Jones this morning. The letter
which is self explanatory follows:
Madison, Wis, Oct. 10, 1910.
Mr.. Russell III. Jones,
County Clerk, Kenosha County.
Dear SIR
| have your letter of Oct. Sth, re-
garding the hunting of rabbits with fer
rets in Kenosha county, in which you
ask whether rabbits can be hunted in
Kenosha county with -ferrets owing to
the fact that Kenosha is an open coun-
ty. | wish to emphatically state that
the hunting of rabbits in Kenosha coun-
ty, tho it is an open county, is positive
Iy contrary to law
My warden has been Instructed to
make apprehension Of all parties found
violating this section of the Statutes,
and | expect 20 enforce it to the letter,
and will do everything in my power to
see that this is done.
/ have had this matter of hunting
with ferrets brought to my attention
by several people living in Kenosha
county. They seem to object to the
prohibition placed upon the hunting
rabbits with ferrets, theirj argument
being that it is an open county and
that there should be no restriction. |
have nothing to say in regard to- this
further than if the law is unsatisfac-
tory, repeal it. AS long as it is a part
of the Game and Fish laws, it certainly
will be enforced.
Please give this publicity to avoid
the boys getting into trouble
| trust to be in Kenosha very soon
and when / am, will come over and
see you. Yours truly,
George Rickeman.

Mgr. Western Union Tele-
graphCo. Charged WithCir-
culating Bad Literature
ASSERTS COPIES WERE STOLEN

L. E. Galley, manager for the West
ern Union Telegraph company in Ke-
nosha was arrested late Monday after
noon by Chief of Police O'Hare on a
warrant charging him with aiding in
the circulation Of obscene and immoral
literature.
The arrest was made as result of
stories told by boys in the Kenosha
high school Galley was taken before
Judge Randall and gave a cash bond
of $3.50 to insure his appearance in
court on Friday afternoon to which
time the hearing of the case was adj
journe0. Galley made statement to
the court in which he declared that he
was victim of circumstances. He ad-
mitted that some of the matter found
| by the school board had been in his
possession but he was vigorous in his
denial of the charge that he had in
any way aided in the circulation of it.
LIZ N'oSio1SO 1HdG cOlt6 GlliI6 ago UFdN-
cling man had come into his office and
while waiting for a message to be an
swcred had sat down at the typewriter
and had written several of the pieces
of immoral literature referred to in
the complaint against him. He declar-
ed that the vicious literature had been
left laying on the desk in the office and
that he had placed it in a drawer from
which it had been stolen possibly by
some messenger boy or by some of the
high school boys themselves. Galley
declared that he had never given any of
the matter to the boys and that he did
not know that it had been in their
hands until he had been informed Of
the fact by some Of the boys after they
had been called to task by the members
Of the board of education and the off
Gals of the schools.
Galley has been in charge of the
Western Union office for nearly wear
and has borne a good reputation. He is
married and lives on West Market
street. 1t is certain that he win con
test tie trial of the case when it is
called on Friday afternoon and attor-
neys have been retained to defend him.
He asserts that1he is simply victim
of circumstances and that he had no
part in the circulation of the matter
IN question. Galley was arrested on
statements made by two of the bows
who alleged that this matter had been
given them by the Western Union
manager

MUST Be ABLE TO MAKE GOOD
Will Provides That Kenosha Man Must
Show an Income of $4,000 a Year Be-
fore He Gets Big Gift From Distant
Relative.

Martin P. Whittier, "a years of age
residing at 264 Crate street and en-
ployed at the plant of the Thomas B.
Jeffery company is to be wealthy
ing he can meet the conditions of the
will of a distant relative Martinus
Peterson who died at Omaha few
weeks ago and whose will just fled
for probate in the courts at Omaha
names the Kenosha tool maker as one
OF the heirs of an estate valued at
100000. The will was read on last
Saturday and under the terms of the
will the executors are to pay Martin
Peterson Whittier of Kenosha the sum
of $4,000 at the end of three years
from the date of the reading of the
will. The legacy is given with pro-
vision and that is that at the time the
money is paid Whittier has satisfied the
executors of the estate that he has the
ability to secure an income of not less
than $4,000 a year. Whittier is not
only tool maker but he is an artist
and he freely admits that during the
past year his income has not been $4,000
but he insists that he will make good
in the next three years and show the
executors of the will his right to claim
the inheritance. Under the provisions
Of the will if Whittier fails to make
good the money left to him in the will
is to be divided among the other heirs
named in the viii. These include the
mother of the deceased, cousin and a
brother-in-law all of whom are well
along in years.
Martinus Peterson has for many
years been known as an eccentric char
acter in and about Omaha! He is the
owner of a large amount of property,
including several ranches and farms.
He was 81 years Of age at the time of
his death and had. never married. Win
Their was named for Peterson who was
his half uncle and couple of years
ago he had occasion to go to Omaha
on business trip, While there he
hunted up the old man and introduced
himself. He told Peterson that he had
been named for him and the old man
jokingly remarked: Well, when 1 die
I will give you my estate if I decide
that you are able to take care Of it.. "
Whittier did not build any castles in
the air but returned to Kenosha and
resumed his work at the Jefery plant.
However he had joked with his rela-
tives in regard to his fortune and on
Monday he received the letters from
Omaha telling of the will Of Peterson
and the provision that had been made
for him.
Young Whittier appreciates the fact
that $4,000 is lot Of money and that
it is a reward of merit worth striving
for and he has already started out with
a will to meet the conditions imposed
in the will of the eccentric relative.
The money will not be paid to Whittier
until October Of 1913 and by that time
he means to be able to show his right
to inherit under the will
Whittier has resided in Kenosha for
the past seven years and previous to
that time he lived in Manitowoc. He
is young man well liked among the
people who know him and it is certain
that his friends will leave no stone I'M
turned to make it possible for him to
win this fortune.

NO scRIPTURAL AUTHORITY FoF
SUNDAY OBSERVANCE"

Editor Courier
Let's see. One, two, three. Well.
first come, first served. This appears
to be, as one writer puts it, almost
an inexhaustible subject" Logicians
are supposed, no less than lawyers. to
Know that one is not bound to prove
a negative. MY latest critic has EVIL.
IDENTIFY lost the thread Of the argument
he was attempting to refute. My posi-
ton is that there Is no scriptural an
thority for Sunday observance. d.
vinely established, it must be divine
ly abrogated. or it still stands. It Is
not necessary to prove that the FIVE
Sunday meetings were not for special
divine worship. The point is that there
is no Scripture evidence to prove
they were. The Sabbath is referred to
in the New Testament 81 times; the
first day of the week, eight; and no
mention of any change day.
Former letters have shown that the

practice Of the apostles was to at
tend the synagogues on the Sabbath
| day. st. Paul speaks of the Scriptures
being read every Sabbath day." No
mention of Sunday. The gentiles be-
sought them to preach to them the
next Sabbath Why not attend the
Sunday meeting? ST. Pauls manner
was" or as it stands in Luke (4:16)
"his CUSTOM etc Christ, speaking OF
the destruction Of Jerusalem, to occur
40 years after his death, taught them
to pray that their fight be not on the
Sabbath day. The decalogue was CIV
en- in the beginning to the whole race
of men, "That the Sabbath was insti-
tuted in Eden was held by Philo and
Josephus among the Jews, by Tertul-
liam among the fathers, and by Luther
and Calvin among the reformers."
The celebrated Laplace says: "The
week, since the highest antiquity IN
which it's origin is lost, comes down
without interruption throughout the
centuries, and mingles with the sue
cessive calendars of different peoples.
1t is very remarkable that it is found
the same all over the earth. Perhaps
! it is the oldest and most indisputable
| monument of human knowledge. 1t
seems to indicate common source
from which it has spread"
The decalogue is the natural. as
we'll as divine law, and it is not a
Jewish institution particularly;
though as a part of the law, 1t was
one condition of the old covenant. II
am not come to destroy the law, but
to fulfill "Till heaven and earth
pass, one jot or little shall in no wise
pass from the law till all be fulfilled"
"For whomsoever," says God, speak
ing through St. James % years after
the death of Christ, shall keep the
whole law, and yet offend in one
point, he is guilty Of all" If the Bible
| is the word of God,' God evidently
was unaware that the Christians were
not under the law" The law they are
not under is the abrogated ceremonial
law of the Jews not the natural as
we'll as divine law.
Against the foregoing we have:
1. Hiding Sunday. 2. Doubling
Sunday. Please note that our witness,
the Bible, assigns no other reason for
these meetings. do not know what
Bible my critic used. have before

,."assembled," is not in my copy.
Read Mark 1914, and you will learn
that the eleven did not yet believe in
the resurrection.
3. Pentacost Sunday. Had been
kept for $500 years. Acts. 2O:7. AS
far as the record shows, they did
nothing not common to every day OF
the week. | did not quote the last
clause Of Acts 2:46 because 1t has no
bearing on the question. The "break-
ing of bread" was religious act.
S. Collection Sunday Collections

clay by together"
Comment on this summing up but
serves to dim it's brightness" and |
am content to leave conclusions to
the intelligence Of the interested
reader. If the Catholic church changed
the day; if it be merely human, and
not a divinely established and infal-
lible Institution such as it claims to
be, it had no right to do SO.
