Now that the excitement is all over
and there has been time to take ac-
count of casualties, particular atten-
tion should be paid to minor injuries.
Oftentimes the most trivial looking
wound is followed by the most serious
results and no one can afford to neg
lect any precaution that may prevent a
case Of blood poisoning or lock jaw.
For weeks the boards Of health of all
cities have been sending out warnings
and if the instructions to place all
wounds of whatever nature in the care
of reputable physicians as soon as pos
sible after they are received are fol-
lowed, the death list from the celebra-
tion would be cut down considerably.
Look after the minor injuries. There is
no gunshot wound or powder burn no
matter how trivial a nature that can be
neglected with safety.

The new health commissioner has not
been on the job long enough to have
more than a general idea of the situa
tion in the city and the problems with
which he viii have to cope, but he
must have seen enough by this time to
convince him that his position is about
as far removed from sinecure as
could be imagined. Through the efforts
OF the new board of health and the
nuisance inspector working under its
orders conditions in the city have been
vastly improved over what they were
a few weeks ago, but they are bad
enough yet TO convince any sanitary
expert that he has his work cut out
for him to make the sanitary condition
Of the city anywhere near what if
should be according to all accepted
standards and what is of vastly more
Importance, keep it there. The ten
dency will be, of course, to expect too
mueh OF the health commissioner and
the newly organized board of health
just at first and there win probably be
some undeserved criticism Of the Off
Gals before the problem Of meeting the
peculiar conditions which exist in this
city IS worked out to everybody's salts
faction, but the members of the health
board are convinced that they can ac-
complish that result with time and pa-
thence and that the city can be placed
and kept in approximately safe condi-
tion from sanitary standpoint The
ordinary rules of procedure for other
cities will not in many instances apply
TO Kenosha and considerable expert
menting may be necessary to work out
rules that will cover the peculiarities
of the local situation.

JAPs FAVOR TEDDY"
Japanese Business Men in
KenOsha Show Interest
in Political Work.
DON'T like TAFT POLICIES

Baron Yoshiro Takamatshu of Tokyo,
Japan, president of the Okura Leather
Company, the largest dealers in feathers
and the owners Of the largest tanneries
in Japan, has been in Kenosha for the
past few days studying methods of tan
ming and coloring leather at the plant
of the N. R. Allen S Sons ompany. He
is accompanied by Shinya Miyosha, an
expert chemist in the employ Of the
company and two prominent Japanese
business men will spend several weeks
in Kenosha, Milwaukee and other Wis
consin cities studying the various modes
of tanning used in the tanneries of Wis
cousin Kenosha gave to Japan it's
first tanning industry. M. Werve, the
general superintendent Of the Kenosha
plant, having been sent to Japan at the
request of that government more than
twenty-five years ago to- teach the
japanese the art of tanning. This is
the second visit that the Japanese
baron has made to Kenosha in the past
ten years. He takes great interest in
American politics and relations between
this country and Japan. During his
stay in Kenosha he expressed himself
as being favorable to the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt for president, and
he declared that his second choice
would be William Jennings Bryon. He
declared that both Roosevelt and Bryan
would be very acceptable to the Japan
ese. Baron Takamatshu expects that
the business relations between Japan
and this country will be largely augu-
mented in the next few years and he
declares that the United States and
Japan are the two greatest and most
progressive nations of the world. The
baron sees menace in the Taft move
ment. Speaking to a reporter in Mil
Waukee in regard to the nomination of
President Taft for new term he said:
" President Taft's policy in advocating
a high tariff on wool and also the high
protective tariff for America has made
him unpopular in Japan and it would
not be surprising if his reelection
should start agitation among the poorer
classes of my country for an immediate
war and invasion of the United
States
The baron himself holds high place
in government circles in Japan and he
has always been most friendly toward
the United States.

CLERK GETS SAMPLE BALLOT
Ballot Will be Large One Giving Voter
Chance to Express His First and
Second Choice on All Nominations to
be Made at the Primary.

henosha county voters will have to
toe the mark and solve the mysteries of
the Mary Ann second choice pri-
mary law, as County Clerk Russell H.
Jones has received the formal notice Of
the primary election from the secretary
of state today and the, publication of
it will be started next week The clerk
has also received samples Of the pri-
mary ballot and it will be in conform
ity to the provisions Of the second
choice primary laws Kenosha sidestep-
ped the "Mary Ann" bill at the city
election and the election was made
legal by the enactment of a special
statute of the legislature. This was not
passed alone for Kenosha, as many
other cities in the state failed to OBJ
serve the provisions of the law and
there was trouble enough to cause the
legislature to act.
At the September primary there will
be no chance to get away from the law
as the secretary Of state has given
clear instructions that the second choice
provision must apply to all state, legis-
lative and county offices. The election
boards will have troubles of their own
in reaching the result Of the election
and ~ will proboI ,lx, bo s,o.,.-,I 4 ,,r-- = G
ter the election is held before the can
didates can feel certain of nomination.
With large number of candidates for
each of the offices, the election clerks
will be kept busy counting the ballots
and putting down the second choices of
the voters. It will be necessary for
the canvassing board to take the figures
and figure out just who has been nomi-
mated so that the facts will not be
known for several days after the pri-
mary unless the candidate shall re-
ceive a majority Of all the votes cast.
There is lot of red tape that must be
observed in connection with the MAX
ing up of the ballot and several print
ing companies in different parts of the
state have already notified the clerk
that they will have the "bestv form
for the ballot. One Of these companies
in letter to the clerk intimates that
the ballot will make a book of at least
fifty pages. This is a new wrinkle for
the clerk, as it was generally supposed
that the old primary ballot was suf
ficiently bothersome. This year the
ballot will contain pages for at least
half dozen parties and it is possible
that there will be several independent
parties in the lime light before the final
ballot is made up Even though these
parties have no legislative or county
tickets, they will have national and
state tickets and they will on this ac-
count have part in the primary cleo
ton
The primary is to be held on Septem-
Der 3, and in keeping with the notice
sent to the clerk by the secretary of
state. all nomination papers must be
on file with the county clerk before
August 3. Petitions for the noinina-
ton of candidates may be filed now
brt the date set by the secretary of
state IS the limit for fling.

The call is out for the applications
for farmers institutes for the winter
of 1912-19l3 and all Of the towns in the
county which propose to have an insti-
tute next winter are urged to get their
applications in to Madison without de-
lay The state gives this service with
out money and without price, all that is
required is a hall large enough for the
meeting to be held. The practical value
of these institutes has been demon
stratel long ago and the demand for
them is increasing at such rate that
it would be well for all of the towns
in this county which want institutes to
get in their applications at once. Ke-
nosha county in the past has failed to
some extent to grasp the opportunities
offered by these institutes, but the at
tendance at the ones held in the county
last winter indicated that the farmers
are waking up to the value of the in
struction offered.

The season opened at all of the sum
mer resorts with rush with the ar
rival of the crowds which came from
the cities to escape the noise and con-
fusion of the Fourth and it is expected
that all of the resorts in the county will
be crowded for the next two months.
They will have to be to make the season
anywhere near an average one for the
resort proprietors, for all of them have
been complaining of poor business so
fer this year. The late spring and the
continued cool weather have cut down
the usual number Of visitors at the re-
sorts, but most Of the owners are hope
full that the next few weeks will make
up for some of the poor business of the
early part of the season. Few people
In the city of Kenosha have any idea
of the proportions to which this sum-
mer hotel business has grown in the
county in the past few years or what
an effect poor season at the resorts
has on the general prosperity of the
county,

money to pay the fine but it is under
stood that it is being raised among his
friends

Men Accused of Annoying Girl Pay
Fines in Municipal Court.

Ia
Two Italians, Gerrino Romano and
Frank Soc, were taken into custody
Wednesday evening on charge of an
noying a young girl on the street and
both pleaded guilty in the municipal
court. this morning and were fined IS
and costs. 1t was alleged that the two
men had stood at the corner of Main and
Market street early in the evening and
had made several attempts to attract
the attention of women and girls passing
along the street. People in the neigh
borhood finally complained of the actions
Of the men and the police very promptly
locked them up. In sentencing the men
the judge read them a severe lecture and
made it very plain that it is the in
tention of the court to use whatever
measures are necessary to stop the ac-
costing of women and girls on the
streets of the city. The court warned
the two defendandts that thew would
not escape so easily if they were again
brought into court on similar CHARGES.

DISAPPEARED 20 YEARS AGO
$1,000 Left Him as Portion of Estate Of
His Father William Lynch, has Been
in Hands of Court for More Then 10
Years and it May be Divided.

The story of the mysterious disap-
pearance Of John Lynch, son of William
Lynch, one of the early pioneers Of
Kenosha county and now long dead,
who left his home in this city in
August, 1892, and who has not been
heard from in the past sixteen years,
is recalled by the fling Of petition in
the county court. The petition is filed
by Mrs. Sarah Hannah, a sister of the
missing man, and she asked that adj
npiinistration be granted for his estate
and that he be declared legally dead
for this purpose.
The late William Lynch died in 1899
and left fortune One of the provi-
sions of the will was that the sum of
$4,000 be set aside as the portion Of the
estate OF John Lynch, and since that
time this amount, together with the in
terest has been held by the executors
of the will. In the mean time every
possible effort has been made to locate
the missing man. At the time Lynch
left Kenosha he was ffty-six years Of
age. Up to that time MS father s
home had been his home, but he de-
cided that he would go to the great
Northwest to seek fortune. During
the next four years the members Of
the family heard from Lynch on sew
eral occasions, but the last letter re-
reived from him was mailed at Ledyard,
Iowa, sixteen years ago. At that time
Lynch stated that he was going to the
Northwest to purchase some land He
gave no further idea of where he was
planning to locate and since that time
not q single word has been heard from
him in any way. When his father died
in 1899 other members of the family
started search for him. Letters were
sent to every conceivable place and
most of these were returned unanswer-
ed. Advertisements were inserted in
papers in all parts Of the West, but not
single thing was ever heard of the
missing man. Friends Of the family
who went to various points in the West
and Northwest made an effort to per-
sonally take up the search, but in towns
where it was known that John Lynch
had stopped, no one could be found who
had ever known him or who knew any
thing of his whereabouts. Before leav-
ing Kenosha, Lynch has borne an ex-
cellent reputation and when he had
been away from home he had always
been careful to keep in touch with his
father and the other members of the
family. After the estate was probated
the members of the family advertised
the fact that portion of the estate
had been placed in trust for the missing
heir These advertisements were sent
to papers all over the West and even to
those in Canada, but they brought no
response. 1t is now thought certain
that Lynch died many years ago, pos.
sibly some time before the death of his
father. Lynch was never married and
If the petition Of his sister is granted,
the portion Of the estate Of his father
held for him will be turned over to the
other children. The petition will be
heard at the September term of the
county court and it is expected that adj
ministration will be granted at that
time.
