He favored ending the ''piecemear

the completion first of one great plan,

AS a. country, we are all in favor OF

Racine Editor Formally An
nounces Himself AS Candi-
date to Succeed Bishop
BISHOP CAMPAIGN IS STARTED

Charles H Everett Of Racine, editor
of the Wisconsin Agriculturist on We'd
nesday formally announced himself as
a candidate for the Office of state SEN
ator to succeed the Hon. Isaac T. Bis
hop. When seen on Wednesday Mr..
Everett formally declared that he was
a candidate for the office of senator,
but he stated that he was not as yet
ready to make a statement of the plat
form on which he would make his cam
paign for the nomination. Mr.. Ever
EFT declared that he had received many
letters from prominent Republicans in
both Racine and Kenosha counties urg-
ing him to enter the field as a candi-
date for senator and that he had de-
cided to accept the dictation of these
friends and enter the race. It is
claimed by the Racine friends Of Mr..
Everett that he is certain of nomina-
ton at the September primaries.
Mr.. Everett stated that he wished
to issue no platform at this time other
than that he believes that questions
of public import should be decided
solely upon their merits, without fear
or favor. He further states that he
sees no reason why the motto "Do unto
others as you would have them do unto
you' should not be made to apply to
the state legislator who is a servant
of the people and who should conduct
their affairs with the same strict econo-
my that they give their own business.
Mr.. Everett believes he is right on all
questions before the tax payers and
voters of the district and of the state.
Hon. Isaac 7. Bishop of Somers, Ke-
nosha, the present state senator, has
announced that he will make the run
for reelection this fall. Mr.. Bishop
has many supporters in the district and
indications point to an interesting con-
test between the two. There are re-
ports that the entries are not yet clos
ed and the list may be added to.

TO PRACTICE TEACHING
Training to be Given in Eight City
High Schools of Wisconsin

To give university graduates more
thorough and extended preparation for
teaching and supervisory positions in
the public schools of the state, the
regents of the University of Wiseon-
son have just established a number of
teaching fellowships to be awarded
each year to the members of the grad
uating class.
The graduates elected to these fell
lowships will devote half of the year
to teaching under the supervision of
the principal and teachers in one of
the city high schools of the state.
Eight high schools are cooperating
with the university in this new plan
for more thorough training for teach
ers, as follows: Oshkosh, Racine, Su-
perior, Wausau, Ashland, Eau Claire,
Chippewa Falls, and Menomonie.
The teaching fellows will devote the
other half of the year to advanced
work in the subject which they are
DESTROYS of teaching and in pedagogy.
The seniors graduating this year who
have been awarded these new teach
ing fellowships are: Una L. Reardon,
Rheinlander, and Hazel Straight, Madi-
son, both of whom will teach history
in the Eau Claire high school, Miss
~
Reardon during the first semester and
Miss Straight during the second; Flor
ence Lentzner, Milwaukee and Mabel
Z. Pomeroy, Oconomowoc, who will
teach Latin in the Superior high school,
Miss Lentzner during the first semester
and Miss Pomeroy during the second;
Gretchen Ruedenbusch, Mayville and
Avrina Davies, Dixon, ILL.,, who will
teach German in the Wausau high
school, Miss Ruedebusch during the
first semester and Miss Davies during
the second.

.ELKS IN BIG FROLIC
More Than 200 of Antlered
Herd Attend Initiation
Thursday Evening
MANY VISITORS ARE PRESENT

Elks from Waukegan, Racine and Ke-
nosha had a. great frolic in Kenosha
Thursday evening when the members
of the Kenosha lodge gathered with
their guests for the last initiation be-
fore the opening of the summer sea-
son and the degree of the order was
conferred upon class of eighteen
members. 1t was one of the largest
gatherings Of Elks ever held in South
ern Wisconsin, more than 200 members
of the order being present. The Ra-
cine delegation headed by District De-
putty, Judge William E. Smieding and
Exalted Ruler Charles H. Everett ar
rived fifty strong just after nine o.
clock and the Waukegan delegation
forty strong, headed by Exalted Ruler
L. A. Hendee arrived a little later. Not
withstanding the hot night more than
$50 of the members from the three cit
les as we'll as smaller delegations from
other cities witnessed the initiation
which was in charge of Exalted Ruler
Charles H. Gonnermann and the mem
bers of the Kenosha lodge.
After the initiation of the large class
of candidates there were short address
es by District Deputy Smieding, Ex-
allied Ruler L. A. Hendee of the Wau-
kegan lodge, Exalted Ruler Everett, of
the Racine lodge, Mayor A. j. Horlick
of Racine and several others of the Wis
iting brothers. With the close of the
social session a luncheon was served.
After luncheon had been served there
was. an excellent program of music and
vaudeville furnished by Charles Weber,
the juggler and the College Four now
appearing at the Bijou theater. The
college singers were from Purdue Uni
versity and their program of more than
an hour in length was greeted with
great applause by the Elks and their
guests.
Following the program there was an
extemporaneous program in which
many of the local Elks and their guests
took part.
This will be the last large class of
candidates initiated into the order I'M
til after the opening of the fall and
winter season in October.

Order of Governor Nips In
the Bud the Career of Ke-
nosha Bantam Weight
MUST FIGHT IN OTHER STATES

The order Of Governor Gillet put
ting an end to prize fighting in Cali
fornia will probably put big crimp
in the future of "our own frankie
Conley, the present bantamweight
champion. Governor Gillett has an
nounced that his order will not only
affect the Johnson-J effries fight, but all
other prize fights in California and he
has named Conley in his open letter as
prize fighter. The beating which
the Kenosha boy gave Monte Attell a
few weeks ago is one of the incidents
stated by the governor in his letter
directing his attorney general to stop
the fight on California soil. Conley
had several battles on the fire for the
next few months and all of them were
to have been fought in California.
Only Tuesday Conley had opened ne
gotiations for a forty-fve round fight
with Abe Attell and Attell was anxious
to wipe out the disgrace of the family
by defeating Conley. In addition to
this Conley was booked to meet Sam
Keller the English bantamweight cham
pionship claimant at Los Angeles and
it is expected that this fight will also
be called off so far as California is
concerned. 1t is possible that the
coast sports will be able to find some
place where they can pull off these bat
ties, but if California clamps the lid
down it is generally believed that there
will be little money in the fighting
business for another year at least.
Local fans who had planned to make
the long trip to California to witness
the championship battle were disguised
with the action of Governor Gillett in
making the battle an impossibility in
California.
Kenosha sports have their ears to the
ground anxious to hear of any change
in the fight program.

STILL SEEK LINDBLooM
Man Who Jumped Bail in Kenosha Still
Being Sought by Chicago Police

Chief of Police O'Hare received a
letter from the police department of
Chicago this morning asking that
search for Axel Lindbloom be resumed
in this county. Lindbloom was ar
rested here in March on charge of
abandoning his wife and was held
under bonds of $500. When last seen
he was dangerously close to the Cana
dian boundary and the officials feel GER
tain that he is now living somewhere
in Canada His bond was declared
forfeit in the municipal court here and
it was paid by the bondsmen. If he
can be located he will be brought to
Kenosha to stand trial for jumping the
bond before he is turned over to the
Chicago police department. The second
Mrs. Lindbloom who the man was al
legged to have married without the Civ
ing to his first wife of legal divorce
notice is said to be still living in Chi
cage and she has declared that she
knows nothing of the whereabouts of
her husband at this time.

woman, who said in confusion: ri
haven t told yet, but, you see, there
was not any objection to our marriage,
but we didn't want to have all the
fuss of formal wedding and [ al
ways thought it would be fine to elope.
The fact that the doctor was divorced
seven years ago had nothing to do with
the way we were married. We had
decided that he should continue to call
as usual for the next two weeks and
then we would tell that we were mar
ried.

PAID sG,6OO,O0O IN STATE
Regular Life Insurance Business Seems
to be Returning to its Normal Con-
dition After Years of Trouble and
Discord.

During the past year life insurance
companies Of the United States and
Canada paid to policy holders in Wis
consin $6,600,000 of which amount over
$4,000 was paid to policy holders or
benefciaries in Kenosha. 0ne-third
of the total amount distributed in cities
of Wisconsin was to persons residing
in Milwaukee, Lacrosse, Oshkosh,
Madison and Appleton and Racine lead
in the amounts paid. A total of
$532, 100000 was distributed by the life
companies in the United States and
Canada during the year.
The payments in the two countries to
benefciaries for death claims, matured
endowments or other benefits under
the policies of level premium COM
panies or the certificates of various life
insurance organizations - assessment
and the like--amounted to $366,500, 900.
The estimated total of the amounts paid
by regular companies in dividends to
policy holders, for surrendered policies,
to anuuitants and on claims in foreign
countries was $l66,000,0O0.
The regular life insurance business
began it's return to normal conditions
last year, the reports from all of the
states showing increase Of payments
for death claims and endowments. The
reports of the fraternal societies show
ed also increase of payments for death
claims and benefits.
Evidently the change of general con-
ditions of trade and business from I'M
favorable to favorable, that is, the re-
turn of prosperity, had effect in the
life insurance field sufficient to permit
the carrying of insurance without con-
siderable increase of liens through
loans and also to reduce to a normal
extent the lapsation of premium pay
ments. With a large amount of in
surance taken by new insured and,
Ill COiI DdllSOn Will Tic l6COIuo LUZ
1907 and 1908, decrease of ratio of in
sulNnce dropped, naturally the com
pa&ies had to pay more claims this
year.
According to the returns to the in
surance department of the state of
New York, where 90 per cent Of the
insurance in force must be accounted
for, there was an apparent increase of
about $35,O0O,O0O in loans and policies,
as compared with increases of more
than $50, 100000 in 1908, $72,5S7 1926 in
1907 and $27,279,826 in 1906.
According, also, to the returns to the
New York insurance department, the
apparent increase of disbursements for
surrendered, lapsed and purchased poll
cies in 1909 was $685. 59, compared
with an increase of $14, ,681 in 1908.

SALOONS AppREHEND DANGER
Some of the Dealers Fear That Lii
censes May be Refused if Liquor is
Found TO be Below the Government
Standard.

Kenosha saloons and particularly the
liquor sold id them are undergoing an
inspection and three officials of the
government known as inspectors
are in Kenosha visiting the various
places where Intoxicating liquors are
sold with a view of testing the liqours
on hand. The inspection is not only
for the saloons, but the work of the
inspectors also takes in the drug stores
and in fact every place where liquors
are sold. The inspectors came to Ke-
nosha on Tuesday afternoon and it will
probably take several weeks to COM
plete the test Of all the liquors in Ke-
nosha. The inspectors came without
any warning and in some of the sa-
looms the men caused CONSERVATION by
taking samples of the liquor offered
for sale. 1t is supposed that these
samples were taken for the purposes
of examination and that if it fails to
meet the tests demanded by the gov
eminent that there will be arrests for
violating the government provisions in
regard to the quality of, liquors sold.
The government inspectors are especi-
ally on the track Of certain blended
WHISTLES which are alleged to fail to
meet the requirements of the govern
ment pure food laws. 1t may be months
before the results of the tests are
given to the public and in the mean
time the saloon men will be in hot
water.
Some of the dealers in 'Fwet" goods
seem to fear that the visit of the in
spectors at this time may have some
thing to do with the issuance of the
regular government licenses which will
go into effect the first of next month
and they fear that the report of i'm
pure goods being on sale may result
in the revenue officers holding up their
permits. This has never been done in
Kenosha but it is admitted that the
government is enforcing the pure food
laws more rigidly then ever before.
All Of the Kenosha saloons have made
application for government as we'll as
city licenses and these licenses must
be secured from the government before
the city can issue licenses to the
keepers Of the various places.
In most of the saloons of the city
the inspection took but few minutes
and the gravity test was regarded as
sufficient to determine the purity of
the liquors offered for sale. The in
spectors refuse to talk of the work be-
ing done in Kenosha declaring that any
facts that the government sees fit to
give out will reach the interested
parties in due time and that the pub
lie would not be interested in the work
of the inspectors. One thing is GER
tain and that is that the inspection of
liquors at this time has been more gen
eral than in any former year in Ke-
nosha. Under the law the govern
ment would have the right to confscate
any liquor found in either saloons or
drug stores which do not come up to
the provisions of the federal pure food
laws.
