The report of County Clerk Russell
H. Jones just forwarded to the state
board of control shows that the entire
county outside Of the city expended only
$578.03 for the care Of dependents
during theyear ending March 81, 1910.
while in the same period the city ex-
pended in the neighborhood Of $4,000
supporting its paupers. Of course it
is well understood that conditions in
the city are peculiar and that owing to
the character of a large percentage of
the population of the city, the proper
ton of dependents may be expected to
be high but it may be remarked that
the difference in the showing made by
the city and the towns in the county
is great enough to be noticeable with
out departing from the truth. If the
city had the same proportion of de-
pendents as the county it's expendi-
lures on pauper account would be about
$1,150 instead of $4,000.

The official figures on the census Of
the city should have been out long ago
and nobody seems to have any very
clear idea as to what is causing the
delay In giving them out The totals
on the county have been compiled and
the fguxes for the city must have been
included in those totals but repeated
requests from this office for the sta
tistics of the city have brought no re-
suits so that it is useless for any one to
spend any more money on telegraph
tolls wiring the census bureau for this
information. The stereotyped reply is
made to all requests for information
from whatever source, that "the fig
ures requested are not yet available
but Will be forwarded as soon as COM
pleted.' A great many people have
been hopeful that the delay in giving
out the figures on the city was due to
the fact that they showed such large
percentage of increase that the census
officials held them for further check
ing up before giving out the official re-
turns but the totals as given out for
the county do not bear out this theory
unless it is taken for granted that all
of the increase shown in the county
figures is in the city and that is hardly
possible.

MAY REACH 100000
Sale of Christmas Seals in
State Expected to Be Far
in Excess of Last Year
NO REPORT FOR MANY WEEKS

Although the exact result will not
be known for several weeks, it is esti-
mated that 3,250,000 Red Cross Seals
were sold in Wisconsin this year, add
ing a large sum to the working fund
of the state anti-tuberculosis society.
Seals will be sold up to New Year s
day in many cities, permission having
been given to continue the campaign,
10 be considered in the award of
prizes, returns must be in the hands of
the anti-tuberculosis society in Mil
waukee before January II. Local cam
paign managers have been urgently
requested to send results to the head
quarters at once, in order that the
awards may be made with the least
possible delay. Unusual interest was
manifested i'll the prize competitions
this year and the results are being
awaited anxiously.
sit is hoped that Wisconsin will
maintain its position as the leader of
all states for highest per capita sale
by the magnificent sale of 1910, -. said
Campaign Manager Werle. "This
state won the honor in 1909 with a sale
of 100000, which has been increased
by $4,000 this year. New York and
New Jersey were Wisconsin IS closest
rivals last year and are again hot on
our trail. The citizens of Wisconsin
have done themselves proud and de-
serve the honor again.
While the Red Cross seal is known as
a Christmas greeting, it is a general
holiday greeting and is desirable for
use ON mail matter and other articles
until New Years day. Local managers
are making final effort during this
week to dispose of all seals remaining
unsold, thus avoiding the necessity of
making returns. If the returns are
heavy, tie estimate Of sales will be
materially reduced and the state IS po-
sition will be insecure.

Capt. Rickeman has made good rec
ord in the Office of game warden, that
will doubtless be cheerfully admitted
even by his enemies if he has any, ana
many of the sportsmen of the state
believe that it would be for their best
interests to have him retained in Office
but the men who are petitioning for his
retention in office should remember
that the game wardens department is
the biggest cog in the political ma
chine in this state and that it is only
naural and to be expected that Cover
nor-elect McGovern should want to
have one of his own friends, some one
who has been devoted to his interests
from the beginning of the campaign
and who is in his confidence, in that
highly important position which carries
with it the control of good. part or
the political machinery of the state.
The re-appointment of Capt. Rickeman
to the position of state game warden
might be taken by some as notice
that the game wardens department had
been divorced from politics and by
others that there is new alignment
in state politics but all of the men
who follow the political game in the
state would be surprised at any such
turn of affairs and as a matter of fact
none Of these men is expecting any
surprises of that nature.

PETITIONS IN CIRCULATION
Kenosha Men Interested in the Protec
tion Of Game Unanimous for the Re-
appointment Of Present Official
Send Letters to Madison.

kenosha county sportsmen are plan
ming to send petition to Madison ask
ing that Governor-elect McGovern re-
appoint Capt. George Rickeman Of Ra-
cine as Game Warden for another
term. 1t has been intimated that
Rickeman is slated for retirement and
the sportsmen of this county seem to
think that the retirement of Rickeman
would be hard blow to the interest of
every sportsman in the state. Already
d number of letters have been sent
from kenosha to the Governor-elect
insisting that he consider very care
fully the record of Captain Rickeman
before he makes the appointment. The
present game warden has made a great
record in Office and his retention would
undoubtedly be for the best interest of
the state as well as the sportsmen. He
has done m uch TO protect the game of
the state and has demanded the most
rigid enforcement of the laws for the
protection of game incidentally it
might be stated that under his regime
the amount of money secured by the
department has been greatly increased.
At the time Capt. Rickeman went into
Office the amount in the fund was in
the neighborhood Of $4,000 and now
the fund has in excess of $158,000.
Captain Rickeman has taken personal
interest in the demands of every coun-
ty and he has made personal visits to
this county repeatedly to aid the de-
putty game warden in securing better
enforcement of the state game laws
He has interested himself in the pro-
| lection of game in this county and has
demanded the closest possible watch
to be kept over the lakes in the county
to make it impossible for out -of-the-
state sportsmen to come into Kenosha
to hunt and fish without paying IL
cense.
Captain Rickeman has been entirely
impartial in exercising his duties in
office. Kenosha sportsmen are many
of them personal friends of the game
warden and for this reason the interest
in his reappointment is even more keen
in this county than in some of the
other counties in the state.

TO SET A RECORD
Sale of Christmas Seals Here
Far in Excess of Anticipa-
tion of Committee
MAY REACH 100000 MARK

DR.. G.. Windesheim, chairman Of the
committee in charge of the sale of
Christmas seals in Kenosha is Just
about ready to make his report to the
committee and it is going to be de-
cidedly pleasant surprise. A week ago
this evening when the sale of the seals
closed it was thought that the number
sold in Kenosha would fall far below
the figures for the last years campaign
but today it looks as if the people of
the city had set new record in the
sale of the Christmas stamps. If
there is not more than 5000 stamps re-
turned,' said DR.. Windesheim, "and
we 90 not expect that there will be any
returned the people of Kenosha have
up to date sold 10000 of the Christ
mas seals and there is still demand
for them. Many Of the seals have been
sold this morning and there are several
people in the city who have signifed
willingness to take a block of the
stamps even though the time for the
sale has expired. still have 10000 Of
the stamps on hand and L should be
very much pleased to have all of these
disposed of. If Kenosha can sell $780,
600 stamps ] feel certain that the city
will be very close to the top of the
list of cities in the state.''
Last year Kenosha disposed of 93,-
900 stamps and it is certain that after
provisions have been made to make
good the loss of money stolen from
two of the schools that the total will
be far above last years sale. It is
just possible that the State Associa.
ton in charge of the sale of the
stamps will give the school children
of the city credit for the stolen money
with the payment of the actual cost
of handling the stamps. This would
be only little less than $40 loss by
the visit Of the burglars.
DR.. Windesheim will not make any
further report on the sale of the seals
In Kenosha until every one of the
seals sent out has been accounted for
and this may not be for another month.

C0NLEY Is WORRIED
Grave Doubts as to Pulling
off Scheduled Fight With
Coulon at New Orleans
HAS MANY CHANCES TO FIGHT

Frank Conley the Kenosha bantam
weight champion is getting anxious
over his scheduled bout with Johnny
Coulon at New Orleans on January 10
and the fact that the Lieutenant Gov
ernor of the state has threatened to
stop the fight has put Conley's plans in
the air. A half dozen clubs have ask
ed Conley to meet Coulon in limited
round bout but Conley is anxious to
fight for the champion hip and for this
reason he is holding out for long
fight. 1t is declared that Los Angeles
is ready to take the fight between the
two boys if New Orleans fails to
make good. Conley declares that the
Milwaukee promoters are way off in
criticising his demands. He asked Fer
a purse of ST 200 for the fight there
on Monday afternoon and declares that
he would not be able to get square
deal in Milwaukee under any circum-
stances and that for this reason he
was not willing to go into fight there
for few cents.
frankie s brother and manager, Joe
Conley, who is also in Kenosha, receiv-
ed night letter in which Ed Coch-
rane, newspaperman and promoter, urg-
ed him to send the Kenosha lad against
Tommy Dixon on January p. Coch-
rane fixed the weights at 124 and the
bout to 60 10 rounds, the fighters to
receive so per cent of the gross re-
ceipts.
Jack O'Brien the "pug" who re-
Gently opened new boxing club with
a membership of 1000 in West Phila-
delphia, has written Conley wanting
him to set his price for fight with
Tommy O'Toole or Abe Attell on Jan
uary 18th.
Besides these offers Conley has been
asked to name his price for two bouts
in Australia, while Fond du Lac fans
are trying to arrange bout for him
with Battling Nelson.

The feeling between the warning fac
tions in Zion is growing more and more
bitter every day and if conditions con-
tinue to grow worse there is likely to
be clash violent enough to call for
the intervention of outside authorities.
In the opinion of many outsiders, that
would be the salvation of the city for
it looks very much as if there are too
many residents of Zion now who will
refuse to the end, whatever it may be,
to conform to the rules Of conduct laid
down by Voliva and the constant strife
and turmoil resulting will undoubtedly
affect adversely the prosperity of the
city. Too many independents came
in under the receivership and if the
iron rule of the days of Dowie is en-
forced again many of them will have
to get out of the city.

OLD LAMPS FOR NEW
kenosna Gas and Electric Company
Following Rules of Commission

The old story of Aladdin is being re-
vived in Kenosha as the officials of
the Kenosha Gas and Electric company
have started a man to work in the city
whose sole duty is to exchange burned
out electric lamps for new ones. This
is in keeping with the rules of the
Railroad Commission which provide
that the company must maintain car
bon lamps. The carbon lamps are be-
ing exchanged in all parts of the city
and even though the lamps are not
completely burned out the agent Of
the company has orders to remove any
imperfect lamps and change them for
new ones. He is properly supplied with
credentials and has instructions to visit
every patron of the company in the
city and make the exchange of lamps.

TOWNS SET State RECORD
Total Cost for Outdoor Relief Placed
as Low as S578.o3 for All the Towns
in the County But City Cost is $12,-
600.

County Clerk Russell H. Jones for
warded to the State Board of Control
this morning his annual report Of out
door relief in Kenosha county and
while the report is incomplete on ac-
count of the fact that it is impossible
to furnish figures from the city of
Kenosha, it contains some interesting
figures in regard to the care of Deepen
dents in the city and county during
the year. The present head of the
pauper committee Of the Common
Council has not been able to furnish
the figures for the city on account of
the fact that previous to the first of
this year the records of this depart
ment were not kept in a form which
would make possible to take out the
statistics demanded by the state. The
report covers the period of one year
ending March 31st of this year and
in that year the pauper committee of
the city Of Kenosha used in the neigh
borhoOd of $4,000. The number OF
families taken care Of varied during
the year but for the greater part Of
the year there were about sixty peo-
pie receiving full support from the
city and half as many receiving par;
tial support. The conditions at the
present time are little better but the
city is still supporting a great mass
of people and if the work in the pres
emit year is carried on with an expen-
diture Of $4,000 the council will be
satisfied with the work of the commit
tee.
The report shows that outside of the
city of Kenoshar the county has few
dependents. In fact the report shows
that no money was expended in either
the town of Pleasant Prairie or the
town OF Salem for the care of paupers
The report covers only such cases as
are entirely dependent on the towns
for support and the total amount ex-
pended by all the towns in the county
was only $578.03. In the town of
Brighton there was but one dependent
and the town spent for the care of
this one case $153.40. Bristol had one
case of pauperism which cost the tax
payers of that town $500. Paris and
Somers each had two dependent on
the town in the period covered by the
report and in Paris the expenditure
was $130.15 while in Somers it was
$147.18. The town of Randall expend~
ed for the care of the poor but $50 III
the year and the number of people re-
ceiving help is not given in the re
port. In the town of Wheatland there
was but one dependent and the care of
this case cost the town but $11. 1t is
doubtful if there is any county in the
state where so small sum was expend-
ed for the care of dependents. In fact
the care of the transient dependents
in the county has been greater than
the care of the people who had the
right to claim support from the var.
ious towns.
