RACINE HAS BIG FIRE.
Frozen Hydrants Make Is Impossible
for Firemen to- fight Big Blaze.

With the thermometer at 4 degrees
below zero, hose frozen to the streets
and snow covering the thoroughfares,
the most disastrous fire of the winter
was fought by the entire fire depart
ment OF Racine Thursday night, when
the four story brick building occupied
by the Thronson Furniture company,
309-311 Main street, in the center of
the city : business portion, was destroy
led by flames.
Grouped around the building are some
LOT Racine's largest structures, princi-
[pally the city Eall, which was covered
with debris after the fire.
Bart Thronson, president of the de-
stroyed furniture house, estimates the
damage at $4,000 to stock. Insurance
OF from $4,000 to $4,000 was carried.
Chris Hanson, owner of the building, 81
which large pars of the walls are still
standing, believes his loss to be $4,000.
There is a partial insurance.
Five nearby hydrants were frozen
and handicapped the fire department,
even though several companies were at
the scene a few minutes after the blaze
was discovered.
Fire Chief James Cape obtained di-
rect pressure only after the flames had
gained great Roadway and burst into
the barber shop of John Dryer and the
Boston store, dry goods establish
|ment.
Owing to the cold the firemen suf-
fered greatly and many were forced to
give up the battle temporarily while
seeking warmth.
The fire is believed to have origin
atedsin the elevator shaft.

The taxes are coming in very slowly,
80 slowly in fact as to indicate that
the record breaking levy is a hard
burden on most Of the property owners
Of the city, but the payments must in
crease rapidly from now on. Monday,
February goth, is the last day for the
payment of taxes and the city council
has no authority even if the aldermen
were SO inclined to grant any extern
sion of the time. With three-ffths of
the total levy still outstanding, there
will be busy times around the
treasurer IS office the next two weeks.

CANDIDATES FOR ALL WARDS
Many Candidates Appearing for Places
on City and Ward Tickets and Ticket
Promises to Be Best Ever offered the
People at Municipal Election

FetltlonS for the nomination of Dan
q. Head as Republican candidate for
the Office of mayor, were taken out this
morning and within few days they
will be placed in circulation in all of
the wards of the city. Mr.. Head has
not as yet issued the statement of his
candidacy and the platform on which
ne will make his campaign for mayor,
but this will be issued within short
time and it is certain that the Repub-
licans of the city will make vigorous
campaign for his election. 1t is not
expected that Nj. Head will be OPP
posed for the nomination at the prl-
maries as he has been given assurances
OF support from the rank and file
of the party and he feels certain that
the Republican party this year will
present a united front to the Demo
cracy. The petitions for the Republi-
can candidate will be among the first
to be circulated in the city although
the present executive is certain to in
augurate an early campaign.
The Republicans are planning to
make systematic effort in Kenosha
this year and in order that the cam
paign may be handled in keeping with
the provision of the new election laws
campaign committee viii be named
within a few days and this committee
is expected to be entirely in charge of
the campaign. Before the announce
nlent of the plans of the committee
is made meeting of the proposed
candidates will be held in order that
every man in the party may have a
chance to express his wishes as to
the nature of the campaign. There is
not going to be anything in the way
Of slate making among the Repub-
licans this year and every man in the
party who has aspirations for munich
pal office will be welcomed and the
committee will aid him in the circu-
lation of his petitions. The only work
that the committee will do will be the
bringing out Of candidates in wards
where there are no volunteers.
1t is certain that some of the best
known men of the city will have a
place ON the Republican ticket this
year. The ward tickets will be es-
pecially looked after and there will
be ward ticket in every ward in
the city. Prof. Otis L. Trenary is
being spoken of as candidate for
alderman in the first ward; w. t. Mar
latt is being spoken of as a candi-
date for reelection in the second
ward; John Hegeman, q. G. Simmons
and Charles Barr are spoken of as
candidates in the third ward; G. D.
Barnes and John Anderson in the
fourth; George Villnow in the fifth:
Jacob Rauen and Frank Holderness
in the sixth, and John Stevens in the
eighth ward.
A number of men are being men
toned for other offices on the city and
ward tickets. Charles H. Ernst and
John Zens have been mentioned Tor
the office of city clerk and men just
as well known are being suggested for
the other places on the ticket. With
former Alderman Head as the leader
of the ticket it is certain that strong
men will be attracted to the ticket
and that it will be one of the strong
est tickets ever presented by the
party in Kenosha.

NOT AFTER OFFICERS
Local Promoters of Suffrage
Movement Are Fighting
for Principles.
NO CANDIDATES At ELECTION

"The statement has been made that
Suffrage leaders in Kenosha were or
ganizing in order to nominate a ticket
for the coming school election The
so-called suffrage leaders themselves
are the only persons who can answer
this. We are organizing in the diff
ferent wards of the city to perfect
our suffrage league, and to do our
work with less strain on the general
officers. While we, in no sense, ac
claim ourselves leaders, for suffrage
is common cause, we wish to say
that no effort has been made to nomi-
nate in this coming election. The
suffragists have no desire to create
any political strife. Suffrage is not
a party issue. Suffrage is not local
issue.
Wisconsin is a progressive state
Women Of Wisconsin want d share in
the government of the state because
we are believers in true democracy.
We are against militant methods here.
We are against all undignifed and pas
sionate methods Of procedure in civic
affairs. We are not seeking to nomi-
nate. We are not seeking to elect.
We promise to do both when. the time
comes. If suffrage is defeated and we
have no occasion to nominate, or elect,
we promise the same interest in be-
half Of good government. =

Committee.
The above statement was given out
this morning by the leaders Of the
suffrage movement in Kenosha and it
is taken as a. final statement of what,
is to be expected of women in the
coming city campaign. Some of the
women of the city had expected great
things in this election, but with this
statement from the leaders in the
movement wet blanket has. been
thrown on the hopes of the women and
it is not expected that the women Of
Kenosha will take any greaeer part
in the election Of members of the
school board this year than they have
in former years. The great rank and
file Of the women in Kenosha are not
desperately interested in the question
of "votes for women,'' but many of
them are interested in securing more
representative school boards and these
women will regret that the suffrage
organization will not take its part in
"a movement that will go long way
towards showing the influence of
women voting.
