The complaints coming in against
the. push carts that the children are
using on the sidewalks make the objec-
tions to the roller skaters seem like
gentle zephyrs in comparison, but none
of the people who object to the prevail
sence of the kids with their new device
offer any suggestions as to what the
children are to find to take the place
of the push carts il their new toys are
taken away from them. A normal
healthy child must work off his energy in
some way and so long as there are no
play grounds provided for the children
no one should object to the use of the
sidewalks by the children within rea-
sonable limits. 1t is a disgrace to the
city that there are no Fairgrounds so
that it would not be necessary for the
children to annoy anybody by playing
on the walks, but until the play
grounds are provided the children will
have to be permitted to use the walks.

THREE PLEAD TO Gambling
Report of stabbing of Gust. Johnson
Brings Out Unusual Story of Viola
ton of the Laws in Pleasant Prairie
Saloon Saturday Night.

Judge Randall in the municipal court
this morning heard the story Of an all
night carousal in saloon in the town
Of Pleasant Prairie which eliminated
in Gust johnson, "a brother of the pro.
prietor of the saloon, being E'pinked
with knife in the hand of a negro
and before the whole story had been
unraveled five men were fined and a
warrant was issued for the arrest of
another Complaint is now to be made
to the town board Of Pleasant Prairie
demanding the closing of the saloon.
The list of fines collected and the
charges against the men follow:
Pascal Commodore, negro, $50 and
costs for carrying concealed weapons.
William Walton, a negro, $25 and
costs for gambling.
Gust johnson, $25 and costs for
gambling.
Arthur Cappelin, $25 and costs for
gambling.
Bert johnson, $25 and costs on plea
of guilty to a charge Of assault and
battery.
A warrant was issued for the arrest
Of Jack Eaton, west side man, who
is charged with having been one of
the party spending the night in the
saloon and he is expected to be brought
into court this afternoon or tomorrow.
The evidence produced showed that
the party in the saloon got busy about
eleven O'Clock Saturday night and the
riotous sport continued until time to
open the saloon on Sunday morning.
Tt seems to have been one uninterrupt-
ed round Of pleasure in which dice
game and revolver were the features.
It is claimed that one Of the negros
won quite a sum of money in the game
and that he drew the revolver wher a
suggestion that he might be held Up
was made by one Of the members Of
the crowd,
The alleged cutting of johnson was
said to have followed a fight in which
Walton, one of the negros had beer
badly worsted and it is claimed that
the other negro drew the knife in de-
Tense of his partner. No serious in
jury was done to johnson. The men
made no excuse for the continuation
of business in the saloon during the
night and it was admitted that drink
ing was freely engaged in during the
night.
All Of the men fned settled with
the clerk and further actions Of the
officials in regard to the matter will
be watched with interest.

SCHLAX SWIMS TO SAFETY
Wife and Children Meet Only Slight In
juries When They Leap From Auto
mobile as it goes over Embankment
Into Fox River at Bullen's Bridge.

John Schlax, well known blacksmith
Of the village of Wilmot and his wife
and two children, Ralph and Elma
Schlax, had narrow escape from death
on Monday when the automobile in
which they were riding turned turtle
and plunged down an embankment into
the Fox river near the Bullen Bridge.
Fortunately all of the members of the
party escaped without serious injury.
Mrs. Schlax and the two children who
were riding in the back seat of the
automobile leaped over the back of the
machine just as it left the road. Schlax
pinned in by the steering wheel fell
with the car into the swollen river, but
in some miraculous manner he managed
to get clear of the car and swan the
river to safety. -Four teams. were call
ed into service to drag the automobile
from the bed Of the river and it is de-
clared that it was not badly damaged.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schlax and the children
had gone out for pleasure drive and
as they approached the bridge they
met some friends. The friends were in
a buggy and the horse appeared to be
frightened at the coming automobile.
Schlax was driving the car very slowly
and with great care as the road was
very narrow but he thought that he
would be able to get past the horse and
reach the bridge. Just as he was at
the very edge of the embankment the
horse SHE'D and it is supposed that he
unconsciously turned the steering wheel.
The car toppled and as it fell Mrs.
Schlax 1eaped out. She was badly
bruised about one Of her limbs. The
children jumped from the car as it fell
into the river and they escaped with
out any injuries. The accident attract
ed great crowd Of people to the scene
in shoIS time. 1t was thought that
Schlax had been buried under the car
but in few seconds after the car top
pied over into the river he shouted
from the other bank Of the stream chat
he was uninjured and after going to a
house in the neighborhood and securing
a change in clothing he aided in pull
ing the automobile out Of the river. The
road at this point is very narrow and
it is probable that the town board of
Salem will be asked to make some i'm
mediate repairs in order to prevent a
recurrence of just such an accident.
Schlax had been driving the automo-
bile for some time and he was regarded
as a most careful driver.

commission to answer for, but there
will be no criticism of the officials of
the company for shutting off the cur

city in darkness Friday evening when
it was believed the life of one of The
hnemen was in danger Although as
it turned out the whole matter could
have been very easily handled with
out putting the patrons of the company

taking any chances when human
life is at stake. The business is
hazardous enough without taking any

From newspaper clippings we learn
that during the same period twenty
eight persons died in the flames, in
this state, and eighteen were serious
~ injured, as the fire stole upon them
like thief in the night, cutting off
all avenue of escape.
This sad tale seriously reflects upon
our intelligence and care, as intell!-
gent care would have prevented most
| OF these fires, and saved lives and
property.
Why 239 chimney fires, when proper
construction, careful inspection and
needed repair would prev ant them9
Or los needless fires from stoves,
placed near walls and partitions or on
wooden floors, without metal protec-
ton? Or 80 fires due to stove pipes,
placed too close to wood?
The mere statement of the causes
suggests the proper remedy.
We hope that this statement will
cause our citizens to inspect their own
premises, and to promptly remedy all
defective conditions liable to cause
fire. If it does not, then this warning
will be in vain.
Before the heavy fires are again
started, have a competent man inspect
your heating plant, stoves and chin
neys; and lose no time in making the
needed repairs and changes. You may
be the next unfortunate to have your
property reduced to ashes, and per-
haps your dear ones sacrificed on the
altar of your own carelessne s.
Insurance may indemnify you, in
part, for your property loss; but it
will not restore the property any more
than your loved ones.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER II, 1912.


The annual report Of the Associat
Charities revealing as it does some
thing Of the scope and extent of the
work that is being done by this organi-
zation in looking after the needs of the
dependents Of the city will come as
surprise to many people even to some
of those who believe they keep pretty
closely in touch with all Of the char,
table work that is being done in Ken
osha. Cold statistics convey but lit
tie idea of the character of the work
that is being accomplished by the as
ISOLATION, but a study of the records
of the Associated Charities for the first
year of the work in Kenosha will very
soon convince anybody of the need for
Just such an organization in this city
and of the certainty that its work is
destined to become Increasingly valu-
able as the years go on. The records
of the Associated Charities alone are
worth all that it has cost to support the
organization during the past year. No
organization or individual engaged in
charitable work of any kind will ques
tion the value of an absolutely correct
and complete record of every case dealt
with in any way, or doubt that the rec
ords of the Associated Charities will
more than double the efficiency of any
and every kind of charitable work that
must be done in the city. The show
ing made in the first year is enough to
convince any one who may have any
doubtso of the value Of such an organi-
cation that the Associated Charities
has a place and a mission in the life of
this community and that the work it
does can be performed SO efficiently and
at such relatively small cost in no other
way. 1t has proved it's worth and is
entitled to and should receive the con
tinued and generous support of the peo-
pie of the city. It costs money to do
the kind of work that is being done by
the Associated Charities but dollar
wisely expended under the supervision
of the officers of this organization who
make it their business to know exactly
where the money goes and who gets it
is worth ten wasted in indiscriminate
giving likely to do more harm than good
in the long run. Tt is the best agency
yet provided for any and every kind of
charitable work al Kenosha and it
should be more generally used by the
people of the city. Every organization
and individual VINO gives to charity in
the city should set apart fixed amount
annually for the Associated Charities
and this can be done with the assurance
that every dollar received will be wise
ly expended, In one way this money is
gift and in another it is simply meet
ing an obligation that rests upon the
people Of the community to support
an organization that has demonstrated
its ability to handle a problem that
must be me-. in the most efficient and
economical manner.

dropped and dropped with it. I was
so close to the fellow that I could have
put my hand on him and he gave NJ
warning that he planned to shoot Roose-
