NORTH SIDE FLOODED.
Sprinkling Wagon Driver Breaks Fire
Hydrant and Much Trouble Results.

The North side of the city had a
small flood on Monday morning as a
result of the breaking Of fire hydrant
at the corner of Milwaukee avenue and
Lake avenue. One of the drivers en-
played by Henry Zeitler, the sprinkling
contractor, had used the hydrant to fill
up the water wagon and when he at
tempted to shut off the water he broke
the hydrant. The water poured out into
the two streets flooding yards and base
ments and causing lot of damage. City
engineer Baltzer got busy on the job
as soon as the break was reported to
him. but it was after 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon before the water could be
shut off and repairs made so as to fur
nish water to the people in the neigh
borhood. The contractors will probably
be forced to pay big bill of damages
as a result of the breaking Of the hy-
drant and it is probable that the city
will take immediate steps to have spe-
clal hydrants put in for the use Of sprik-
ling wagons and that the men operating
such wagons will be forced to pay the
cost Of the installation of these hy-
drants.

MAD DOG AT STEPHENSON FARM.
James Torrey is Nipped by Dog Suffer
ing With Rabies.

People residing on the Stephenson
farm had mad dog scare on Sunday
when a year and half old collie on the
farm was attacked with rabies and be-
fore it was killed two men and mum
Der Of animals had been bitten. James
Torrey, manager of the farm, was nip
ped in the left arm, but the dog s teeth
failed to penetrate through the skin and
it is not bought the injury is in any
way dangerous one. A hired man on
the farm was bitten in a similar man
ner. The dog attacked its mother and
several animals about the Stephenson
barn and all of these animals have been
penned up. 1t is not thought that it
will be necessary to kill any of them.
The dog was killed late Sunday after
noon and the head was sent to the state
laboratory for examination.

ASKS BIG DAMAGES
w. ingalls, Sues Newspapers
for 100000 for Defa-
nation of Character.
ECHO or FORMER CAMPAIGN

One hundred thousand dollars is the
amount which Attorney Wallace In
gals of Racine demands Of three news
papers and proprietors In this state,
charging that they libeled him by the
publication of articles at the time he
was a candidate for congress in the
First Congressional District, in opposi-
ton to Henry A. Cooper. The news
papers are the Beloit Daily News and
Mr.. Worthington, it's manager, who is
the postmaster; Delevan Republican and
a Monroe paper, whose proprietors are
alleged to have been postmasters at the
time the articles were published. Fifty
thousand dollars is the amount asked
for from the Beloit News and $4,000
against each of the other publications.
The case against the Beloit News will
be tried this fall in Elkhorn and the
other two come up in Rock and Green
counties.
What recalls and makes the case of
interest at this time is the fact that
Attorney Thos. M. Kearney has been
engaged by The Beloit News, to defend
the action and detectives are said to
have been in Racine looking up evil
dence with reference to Mr.. Ingalls,.
1t is evident that the case will be
fought to the bitter end on both sides.
At the time the articles were publish
ed they created quite sensation in
political circles and Mr.. Ingalls, alleges
that they were malicious and intended
to not only injure him politically, but
also to ruin his reputation as a citizen
and lawyer.

THE REAL PASSION PLAY.

The pictorial reproduction of COB
erammergau, It's People and their
Passion Play of 1910, will be present
ed by Mr.. Henry Ellsworth, the noted
traveller, at the Rhode Opera House,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights, and Wednesday afternoon,
Sept. 8, 10, II, under the auspices of
the Knights of Columbus, coming di-
rect from the New York Hippodrome,
where the entertainment has been Civ
en- to immense audiences. Mr.. Els
worth, who has been a resident of OBJ
erammergau every summer for the
past eleven years, has brought to this
country over three hundred exclusive
pictures which the people of the little
Bavarian village permitted him to
make, and which will be seen now for
the first time There are many scenes
of the play itself and views of the in
nermost portions of the theatre where
the average visitor is not permitted to
enter. Portraits are shown of the
principal actors in the play, not only
of the last performances of It, but
Of the performances dating far back
in the last Century. The private life
of the villagers is depicted and views
of Oberammergau and the surrounding
country are given, one of which, the
Monastery of Ettal, in which the play
was written. A novel feature of the
entertainment will be the introduc-
ton of some of the ancient incidental
music which is still used in the play,
although portions of it are over two
hundred years old. No moving pic
lures will be shown.

SEVEN YEAR OLD BURGLARS.
Two Boys Break Into the Meat Market
of Chris Heinz on Monday.

Two boys, Charles Peroch and Apol
Pennak, each seven years of age, were
arrested by the police department on
Monday evening charged with having
burglarized the meat market of Chris
Heinz on Milwaukee avenue. The bows
are alleged to have entered the place
through one of the side windows and
not finding any money in the cash regis
ter, it is charged that they took some of
the cash books of the place and tore
them up. The boys were taken to the
police office but their tender years
made it impossible to put them in jail
and they were sent home to their par
ents. A further investigation of the
case is being made.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1912.

In a communication to the Baraboo
Daily News N. H. Smith goes at the
state income tax from new angle.
In Wisconsin, he says there are l77i-
127 farms; 151,022 are occupied by
owners, 84,654 by tenants, and 1,451
by managers. If report is made
from each of all these farms, allowing
SO each for time spent in going to a
notary to swear to the statement,
which every person must, it would
cost $354,254. The notary fees at 20
cents each would amount to $44,291.75,
and stamps to send reports to the col
leetor would cost $3,542.54. "These
amounts do not include any taxes
just getting ready"
The expense of collection is re-
markable demonstration of the reck-
lessness of this inequitable and unpop-
ular law. It is expensive to the man
who pays taxes under it, because a
large proportion of what he pays is
absorbed in compensating the officials
engaged in administering the law;
and, as Mr.. Smith shows, it is expen-
sive to thousands of those immune be-
cause their incomes are under the
amount which is subject to assess
ment, who are put to inconvenience
and outlay by reason of the red tape
methods which are feature of the
law.-Evening Wisconsin.

MAY SUGGEST AMENDMENT.
Attorneys May Recommend Heavier
Punishment for Abandoners.

District Attorney Robert N. Nelson,
chairman Of the committee on legisla-
tion for the state district attorneys or

among the matters which will be taken
up by his committee will be punish.
ment for wife abandonment. Other mem
bers are District Attorney A. H. Smith
of Merrill and D. A. Mcdonald of Osh-
kosh. According to Mr.. Nelson, the laws
now either send a man to prison or per-
nit him to do as he likes. His wife in
the meantime, suffers as a rule and has
to undergo hardships. The proposal is
likely to be made to the legislature by
this committee that the law be amended
SO that wife abandonment be punishable
by sentencing the offender to hard labor
for wages and that the wages be turned
over to the wife.

BANCROFT GETS The APPLAUSE
Norman L. Baker, Who Was to Have
Spoken for Roosevelt, Failed TO Reach
the Scene Of the Pow Wow on Ac-
count of Broken Automobile.


Kenosha county people refused to
get "allhetup" over politics even on
the last day before the primary election
and the political pow-woW which was to
have recalled the days of Lincoln and
Douglas, which was held at the Old Set
tiers grounds at Paddock's Lake was
considerable of frost. The orators, or
at least most of them, were on hand
and the oratory and argument was
there to burn, but the thing lacking was
people to listen to the speeches. The
people seemed to take no interest in the
political situation and when the ora
tory was uncorked early in the after
noon there was less than 500 people on
the grounds and some of these took a
greater interest in the boats on the lake
than the political arguments at the
pavilion. The politicians did their part
all right and nearly every man seeking
office in the county was on the grounds
in person while state candidates who
had expected great outpouring OF the
people had representatives on the
ground to urge their candidates.. One
man way up in the state who is rum
ming for a state nomination forgot
about the gathering until the last min
ute and he sent a frenzied telegram to
some of his friends in Kenosha to get
a bunch Of workers out to take care of
his campaign. The bunch went ont and
aided in swelling the crowd but there
was no material for them to work on.
The Social Democrats always on the
job, sent out big delegation from Ke-
nosha and when the Social Democrat
John w. Work of Chicago, began to
make his address there was plenty of
applause for him.
1t was three cornered argument, as
the man who was to represent Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the Bull Moose fail
ed to reach the pastures green. Nor
man L. Baker, state chairman of the
Progressive movement, was to have de-
Tended Roosevelt in the argument. He
reached Kenosha loaded down with
manuscript just after noon, but Ke-
nosha automobiles could not be made to
see the beauty of politics and the car
in which Mr.. Baker sought to reach
Paddock's Lake baked and he was
forced to remain in Kenosha with his
address undelivered. Thomas M. Kear-
ney of Racine, made strong argument
In favor of the election of Governor
Wilson as president. Levi III. Bancroft
of Madison, spoke for the Taft forces
and while he may not have made any
great number of votes, his speech was
without question the speech of the af-
ternoon. Bancroft went after every
one in politics and he was impartial in
lampooning the Democracy, the Social
Democracy and Col. Roosevelt. His
shots did not go wide of the mark and
he kept the. crowd cheering for the full

Great Crowd Attends Cele-
bration of Labor Day
on Monday.
LARGE FAMILIES IN CONTEST
Jack McLauren With His Nine Children
and His Wife Wins First Prize
Races Attract Interest Among the
Guests of the Union Men.

Labor Day was fttingly observed in
Kenosha on Monday and in fact the
holiday seems to have been more gen
orally observed than ever before. 1t
was paradeless Labor Day this year
as the members of the various unions
evidently considered it was too hot to
march the streets, but great crowd OF
the members of the unions and their
friends gathered at Anderson's Park
during the day and took part in the an
nual celebration Of the day as planned
by the Trades and Labor Council. There
was not wheel turning in Kenosha on
Monday and every down town store
closed up for the entire day. 1t was a
quiet day for the police department and
in fact new record was established
for quietness in the city for double
holiday.
Less than half dozen arrests were
made from Saturday afternoon until
this morning and the municipal court
which is accustomed by being crowded
on the day after holiday was deserted
this morning.
Hundreds of people went out to the
lake resorts early Monday morning.
Many members Of Park Avenue M. E.
church went to Kreuger S grove where
a big reunion of Racine and Kenosha
Methodists was held and picnics were
held at nearly every park about the
city.
1t is estimated that fully 1000 people
attended the big gathering at Ander-
son s Park. There were large delega-
tions came from Waukegan and Racine.
It was Labor Day pure and simple
and the lid was clamped down on the
politicians during the day.
There were many features to the La
Dor Day celebration. In the big pavil-
ion at the park there was dancing in
the afternoon and evening and the
races put on during the afternoon at
tracted lot of interest.
One feature was the display Of large
families. A capital prize had been Of
fered for the largest family on the
grounds and this went to John McLau-
rim who was on hand with his wife and
nine children. William Luces contested
the honor as he had eleven children
with him on the grounds, but he was
barred on account of the fact that his
wife was not with him.
The results of the races follows:
Single man s race-Lee Skinner first;
L. Rusidkov, second; George O'Hare,
third
Married men s race-P. Huetter,
first; R. Austin, second.
