TO VOTE ON ROADS
County Towns to Decide as
to Amount to Be Used
for Highway Work.
COUNTIES TO OBSERVE LAW
. "
W. G. Bacon.

The towns in Wisconsin at their
annual meetings this spring will have
an opportunity to vote whether they
will build any roads or bridges in 1913
under the new state aid law
The law provides that if town
wishes to vote a tax of four hundred
dollars or over, the county shall pro-
vide an equal amount and the state
an equal amount. This money is to
be spent in permanently improving
either by stoning, travelling, or grad
/ ing as is voted by the electors of the
town, a portion of the county system
| of highways lying within that town.
which portion is 4lso selected by the
electors Of the town.
If bridge improvements are voted
the minimum tax is two hundred and
fifty dollars, to be met by an equal
amount from the county and one-half
as much from the state. Bridges built
must be on che system of highways
within the town voting the money.
The new law gives towns the OBJ
Iportunity of getting aid from villages
and cities for building those main
travelled highways which are the
greatest burden upon the town. The
cities and villages are also benefited
by the greater ease Of travel and the
consequent increase in business and
social activity.
About five hundred towns in the
state voted for state aid at special or
regular meetings last year and the
money will be spent this year. 1t is
expected that many more towns will
vote this year, and that 1913 will see
inaugurated an almost universal build
ing of good roads under county
supervision.

IMPORTANT TO GROWERS OF
CABBAGE.

Did you ever stop to think what it
means or figure out the difference in
planting reliable cabbage seed and
inferior seed? One pound Of good
seed will plant four acres, the aver
age yield is Is tons per acre or 60
tons from one pound of seed, figuring
the average price of good Holland or
Danish cabbage $500 per ton or $3.50
from one pound Of good seed. The
difference in price of good Holland or
Danish and inferior mixed cabbage is
two to four dollars per ton calling it
SO less per ton. The termination
and tonnage the same as the reliable
seed or $500 for one pound seed, a diff

TO LAY WHOLE MATTER OVER
Members Decide to Cancel Contract for
Remodeling old Building and VIII
Expend Only Small Sum in Decorat-
ing and Lighting the Interior.

The members of the county board
gave a quoting punch to the propose
ton to build new municipal court
building on Wednesday afternoon
when the plan was turned down by a
vote of IA to 2. The only members
Of the board voting in favor Of the
plan were Supervisors Markham and
strangberg Of the city and it can be
said that they were not overly en-
thusiastic after the discussion of the
proposed action. The board by a
unanimous vote decided to stop all
proposed remodeling of the old county
building now used by the municipal
court. The building will not even be
painted on the outside but some minor
improvements will be made on the in
terror. The rooms will be re-decorated
and the old gas lighting system will
be taken out and a complete system
Of electric lights installed
The members of the board seemed
TO think that the only plan which
should be followed by the city would
be one leading to the building of an
up-to-date court house which would
furnish offices for every county of
fetal and at the same time provide
ponna for bo,,oinn hath An ,,,,,,;a;,1oI
court and the circuit court. Nothing
was done to further such q PLAN The
members Of the board held that even
the appointment of a committee to
consider the proposition and make
plans for a consideration of the mat
ter at the November session of the
board would be encroaching on the
business of the board to be elected at
the spring elections. 1t was held that
such committee would be hampered
ia that some of the members might
not be reelected as members of the
board. One thing is certain and that
is that the men from the rural dis
tricts are favorable to building right
when anything is built and the city
members will undoubtedly join them in
this movement.
1t is not improbable that at the
next meeting of the board definite
plan will be presented asking that the
question of issuing bonds for the
building Of such a court house be TAX
en- up and carried out. 1t is thought
that the people of The county would
be willing to vote for such bond
issue.
Racine has recently made provision
for the building Of q new and modern
court house and the members Of the
Kenosha board are anxious to see how
Racine comes out and as Supervisor
Yule put it, this county will make an
effort to go Racine one better in erect
ing a modern building.
Tt is certain that some of the mem
bers Of the board will keep busy be-
tween now and the November session
and have plans laid which may result
in the proposed building Undertaking..

ON SERIOUS CHARGE
i
A. w. Brooks, a Prominent
Zion Man, Arrested on
Charge of Zion Widow.
CLAIMS he is BLACKMAILED

| a. W. Brooks, q prominent cement
contractor, living in Zion City, was
arrested Monday by Constable Clar
ence Hicks on warrant sworn Out
| by Mrs. G. E. Waugh of Zion City
charging him with having made 8
criminal assault on her Sunday, March
| II. Brooks was brought before Police
Magistrate Taylor in. Waukegan and
his case was continued to Wednesday
| He was released on bonds Of $1,000.
| According to the allegations made
Brooks stopped at the home of Mrs
| Waugh while he was on his way to the
Elder Bryant church of which he is
one of the pillars.
It is charged that Mrs. Waugh i
children ran screaming to the neigh.
bors. When these neighbors hurried
| to the Waugh home man, who is al
legged to have been Brooks, hurried
from the rear door and made his es-
cape. Mrs. Waugh is reported to
have said that Brooks assaulted her,
but that she fought him off.
At the time Mrs. Waugh took the
matter up with Wilbur Glenn Voliva
who is the head Of the church she at
tends. AS a result she went to Wau-
kegan Saturday and sworn out a
warrant.
The affair has created great excite
ment in Zion City. Friends Of Brooks
declare that he is innocent. They say
he is one Of the most highly respected
men in the city. He has d wife and
children who are much broken up over
the affair Many others declare that
there is something back of the war
rant which they say may be brought
out at the. hearing.
Mrs. Waugh is widow with FIVE
children; her husband having been
drowned in Lake Michigan about a
year ago. He was in swimming while
his wife and children were standing
on the shore watching him. Suddenly
they saw him throw up his hands and
sink. Before anyone could reach him
he has sunk for the last time. Since
then Mrs. Waugh has worked to care
for her children. Her friends say that
she could have no possible reason for
making such. accusations against Mr..
Brooks simply because of spite work.
Friends Of Brooks are very much
incensed over the sensational action.
They declare that Brooks has been
helping out the Waugh family all win
ter, giving them free milk, food, etc,
hence they cannot figure out the whole
situation. They declare developments
will prove sensational in the extreme.

ROOSEVELT FAILS TO PETITION
w. H. Taft, R. M 1aFollette, Woodrow
Wilson, Champ Clark, Eugene chafin
and Oliver Stewart Only Candidates
to Get Place on Wisconsin Ballot.

Kenosha people, both Republicans
and Democrats viii not have chance
to express their choice for their favor
ite Presidential candidate as the list
Of candidates to go on the official bal
lot received by County Clerk Jones
this morning show that but six Of the
dozen candidates now in the field will
have a place on the ballot and of this
number two are Prohibition candi-
dates. The Republican names on the
ballot will be President William H.
Taft and Senator Robert M LaFoH-
cite. The friends of ex-President
Roosevelt did not file any petitions to
get his name on the ballot and under
the statute there will be no delegates
voted for in Wisconsin, who if nomi-
mated will be strictly Roosevelt del
egates" It is intimated that the
men who are named as delegates for
Senator LaFollette will be favorable
to the former President on the second
choice. The Taft delegates are found
in every congressional district in the
state.
The only two Democratic candidates
in Wisconsin will be Woodrow Wilson
and Champ Clark. Harmon and I'm
derwood leaders failed to get the
Names Of their delegates properly be-
fore the voters and the petitions filed
did not warrant their names going on
the ballot. 1t is said that the Clark
delegates would be for Harmon for
second choice and that it is possible
in case of deadlock that they might
go to William Jennings Bryan.
The official notice to the clerk shows
that the Prohibitionists are just as
active as the members Of the other
old parties. Oliver w. Stewart of
Chicago, we'll known in Kenosha is one
of the Prohibition candidates for
President and the other is Eugene w.
Chain Of Waukesha. 1t is said that
the two candidates are making a mer-
ry fight for the delegates from Wis
consin.
There are no nominations made for
Social Democratic delegates either at
large or from the district and it is not
expected that this party will have any
delegates from Wisconsin at the Ma
tiona1 convention unless the delegates
seated be elected by the favorite ref
erendum vote.
The County Clerk will at once
make preparations for printing the
ballots to be used at the election. All
Of the delegates must be elected at the
same time as the city election and fol-
lowing this election the delegates will
meet at Madison and select the names
Of men to act as electors for the Presi-
dent and Vice President on the differ
ent tickets.
1t is thought that Senator LaFoll-
cite will have big support in this sec
ton Of the state but strong fight
is being made FOR President Taft and
he may secure one of the delegates
from the district.
