out warrant charging him with sell
ing liquor to an intoxicated person, he
decided to plead guilty to the charge

PUT RECORDS IN SHAPE
Old County Records Being Repaired in
Order to Make Them Permanent.

This is house cleaning time at the
office Of the Register of Deeds and an
expert bookbinder from Milwaukee IS
at work in the office repairing the rec
ords of the county. The books have
not been gone over in several years
and some Of them are in decidedly
dilapidated condition. A few of the
big books will have to be prac tically
rebound but for the most part slight
repairs are all that will be necessary.
1t is probable that at an early session
of the county board a plan viii be sug-
gested to have all records of the coun-
ty bound in uniform manner. The
records run back to the time when
the county was a part of Racine ter
ritory and some of the old territorial
records are of decided interest from
IA historical standpoint.

FIGHT SHY Of BOOK
Few Candidates for State
Offices Take Space in
State Political Book.

The much discussed state political
pamphlet to advertise the candidates
for state and legislative office has
been delivered by the state printer and
an edition Of 100000 will be mailed by
State Supt. Of Public Property w. l..
Essmann, one to each voter in the
state or district, as the case may be.
To print this edition in the short time
required by law necessitated the pur-
chase of $25, 900 Hoe press, made to
order, by the state printer, Madison
company. Another pamphlet will be
published in September after the pri-
maries have been held.
The only candidates for state office
taking space in the primary pamphlet
are Adolph J. Schmitz of Milwaukee,
Democratic candidate for the nomina-

Govern, candidate for reelection;
Henry A. Moehlenpah of Clinton, can

didate for attorney general; Philip
Lehner Of Princeton and Walter G.
Owen of Maiden Rock, Republican can
didates for attorney general.
Both Mr. Schmitz and Gov. Nc
Govern pledge their efforts to uphold
the income tax law, suggesting amend
ment to cure it of obvious defects.
The Schmitz statement says:
''True Democrats believe that the

Gov. McGovern says:
cit may need amendment, as most
new laws do; but experience under it
and not the clamor Of wealthy tax
dodgers should dictate what changes
should be made.
Mr.. Moehlenpah denounces the law
as "unjust, unequal, and in some re-
spects highly inquisitorial, and ia

To INVESTIGATE HERE
State Industrial Commission
to Make an Examination
of KenOsha Factories.
TEST FOR SAFETY DEVICE

Albert Kries, who is connected with
the state industrial insurance board,
will spend few weeks in Kenosha
late in the month for the purpose of
inspecting the different factories and to
gather statistics concerning safety de-
vices here, the men injured yearly and
how, and other vital facts that will
help the insurance board in it's work.
Special attention is being paid by
Mr.. Kries in looking up facts regard
ing the extent to which certain in
juries impair man s earning power
in certain capacities. That is, wheth-
er the loss of finger would impair a
machinist1's earning power and to
what extent; how much crushed
foot incapacitates man, etc.
For damage allowed by the new in
surance board is governed wholly by
the Interpretation consequent upon in
juries received. A man might have an
ear torn off, but it would not impair
his work as machinist. Therefore he
would be entitled to no damages, only
his wages and doctor bills during the
time that he is laid up.
Mr.. Kries is paying special atten-
tion to looking over elevators in diff
ferent factories, and seeing that they
comply with the state regulations. The
newest regulation which is being
strictly enforced is that elevators
have wire netting over the top so
that something may not drop in be-
tween the cables or cog-wheels on top
and impair the working of the ma
chinery, thus placing employees in dan
ger.

WAS TEACHER IN SOUTHPORT
Was One of First Students in Kenosha
High School and Took Great Interest
in It's History-Prominent in Affairs
in Chicago Later in Life.
(From Tuesdays Dailyl


Mrs. Hattie NJ. Stone, widow of the
late Leander Stone and ohe last of the
pioneer teachers Of the Kenosha
schools, died at her residence 1852 In
diana avenue, Chicago, on Monday at
the age of 81 years. Death came as
result of a natural breaking down due
to advanced years. The funeral SER
vices will be held from the late resi-.
dence at IL o'clock Wednesday morn
ing and the remains will be brought to
Kenosha and laid at rest in the fam
lily plot at the Kenosha city cemetery.
The death of Mrs. Stone will cause
sorrow in the homes Of many of the
pioneer residents of Kenosha for few
of the women who had part in the
early history Of Kenosha were more
universally known or more universally
beloved. Mrs. Stone was born in
CORTLAND March 5, 1881. To use her
own words Mrs. Stone came to South
port a slip of girl in 1848 and she
was educated in the cold White
School House, private school
which stood on the present site of st.
Matthew s church. She was a student
under Sam r. Leonard, one of the
pioneer school teachers of Kenosha.
Later she attended the High school
under Col. John G. McMynn and she
was a member of the class Of 1850. In
1855 she was married to Leander
Stone, who like herself had been a stu
dent in the Kenosha schools. Both
Mrs. Stone and her husband were af.
forwards teachers in the schools of the
city. Later they went to Chicago
where Mr.. Stone became famous as
journalist. In her later years Mrs.
Stone took a most active part in the
charitable work of the city of Chi
cage.
Only short time ago Mrs. Stone in
writing to one of her friends said:
"Of all the honors 1 have received
both public and private there is none
esteem greater than that / am ac-
counted one Of the pupils of the good
old Kenosha High school,.
The latter years Of the life of Mrs.
Stone were crowded full of activities
for the people of Chicago Her first
active charity work was the forma-
tien of the "Mitten society" in 1861,
which sent clothing to union soldiers
during the war. She was the first
woman admitted as member of the
Humane society and she was the or
ganizer of the charitable organization
society, the Floating Cholera Hospital
association and the benevolence band
of south side women who aided the
distressed in the winter following the
great fire Of I'll.
For twenty three years she was pres
ident of the Young Women S Christian
association, establishing the Travellers
Aid for the protection of girls, and
was at one time, vice president for
Illinois of the International Board of
Women s Christian associations.
She served on the board of mana
gers for the Columbian exposition
In 1909 Mrs. Stone resigned from
the board of the Home for the Friend
less, with which society she had been
connected for fifty years, and gave up
active work, retaining only her mem
bership in the chapter of the Daughters
Of the American Revolution, WHICH she
helped to organize, being charter
member OF the national body.

STARTED TO SHOOT CHICKEN
Unfortunate Man Stumbled over Wire
in His Yard and in Some Unknown
Way Rifle was Discharged and Bull
let Crashed Through His Head.

Paul Adelt, aged A years and man
actively connected with the retail
liquor business in Kenosha for the past
fifteen yeas, met death under unusual
circumstances at his home on West
Prairie avenue just before five o'clock
Monday evening. Adelt was shot with
a thixty-eight calibre rifle, the ball
entering just under the right jaw bone
and coming out under the left eye. He
lived only few minutes after he was
shot.
The shooting of Adelt was acciden-
tai. With Charles Stratton, one of
his friends, he had taken his rifle and
had gone into the dooryard of his
house to shoot chicken. The chickens
had run into small space between an
apple tree and shed in the yard and
Adelt with the rifle cooked, had start
ed to creep up on them so that he
might shoot the one desired. AS he
was creeping under the apple tree in
some manner he tripped and fell and
the trigger of the rife struck on a
wire and the rifle was discharged.
Adelt had been thrown to the ground
when he tripped and the muzzle of
the rife was against his neck when
the shot was fred. Mrs. Adelt was
watching him from the porch Of the
house and saw the accident. As soon
as possible DR.. H. A. Robinson was
summoned to the house and Adelt was
still alive when the physician arrived,
but he died a few minutes later with
out regaining consciousness.
The body was removed to the Misch-
Ter & Stanton morgue and Coroner
Stanton is making an investigation
into the case today. He declared that
there was no doubt but that the shoot
ing was purely accidental.
The accidental death of Adelt caus-
ed great excitement in the neighbor-
hood. Mrs. Adelt, who had witnessed
the accident, became hysterical and
she was under the care Of physicians
during the entire night. Even this
morning it was declared that her con
dition was serious.
Paul Adelt had been we'll known to
Kenosha for the past fifteen years. He
was native of Germany, but he
came to this country as boy and
settled in Chicago where for several
years he was employed as motorman
on the ears Of the Chicago City Rail
way company. He came to Kenosha a
little over fifteen years ago and for
number of years he was the proprie-
tor Of the old Sterling House on New
ell street. Later he was in charge of
several saloons in the city. Only a
short time ago he built the building on
West Prairie avenue which he was
using as grocery store with buffet
in the rear Of it.
Adelt was man widely known
among the hunters Of the city and he
was great follower of sports Of this
nature. He made many trips to the
northern woods and was regarded as
an expert marksman.
He was a member of number of
Kenosha organizations and was popu-
lar among the members of all of them.
He took an advanced stand on the
question of regulation Of saloons and
had been one of the most active sup
porters of the plan to have the saloon
men rather than the courts provide
better saloons. He is survived by a
widow and two children.
