7 STOPS RUNAWAY TEAM.
j. w. Brown Takes Chances to Prevent
Garbage Wagon Being Demolished.

J. w. Brown, janitor of the First
Congregational Church, put thrill in
to the monotony of the life of people
on Durkee avenue on Thursday when
he stopped runaway at risk Of in
jury to himself. A team attached to
a garbage wagon ran away on South
Durkee avenue and the frightened
horses tore down the street at a ter
rife rate. Brown was at work on a
lawn just north Of Eagle street when
the horses came along. He went out
into the street swinging his arms, but
the horses paid no attention to him.
He managed to catch the bar on the
back Of the wagon box and with great
difficulty climbed to the box and got
hold of the lines. He finally managed
to stop the team. His performance
was sufficiently thrilling to win ap-
plause for him as he drove the team
back and turned it over to the owner.

Liberal appropriations have been
made by the state for grounds, build.
ings, and equipments, premiums and
prizes covering all of the usual CLASH
ications have been generous, the ex-
bibits gathered together have been
representative of the best the state
could produce, and in general every
thing that could be done in advance
TO insure success has been done by the
state board of agriculture, but the att
tendance has been a disappointment at
the state fair. In the past few years
the support that the fair officials had
right to expect from the people of
the state has not been forthcoming.
There were signs last year that the
people of the state are waking up to
the fact that an exhibit is prepared
for them annually that is in every way
worthy Of their attention and the lists
of appropriations for premiums, prizes,
and attractions this year being sent
out by the publicity bureau of the fair
indicate that the change in sentiment
towards the fair is expected to largely
increase the attendance. The prepare
tions are being made in the usual
thorough manner again and the sue
cess or failure of the fair IS up to
tie people of the state. 1t is their
fair, but if they 40 not care enough
for it to respond by attending there
is little use in continuing to spend large
sums in keeping the exhibition up to
the standard set. We take it that the
people Of Wisconsin would not care to
have their state fair compared unfav-
orably with those maintained by neigh
BORING states, Minnesota, for instance,
and Il hey do not care to support
first class fair the custom of holding
one should be dropped.

OLD LAW BACK into EFFECT
Aldermen May Not Contract With City
but They May be Employed by Com
panies Who May Sell Their Product
to the Municipality.

Kenosha aldermen may continue to
hold their jobs without fear Of being
forced to appear in the municipal court
and cough up half of their annual sal
airy for violation of the state law as
Governor McGovern came to the rescue
of the city dads on Thursday night and
signed new state law which repeats
the stringent law recently passed by
the legislature. Not one Of the mem
bers of the council could have contin-
ued in Office under the new law as it
provided that any person in any way
connected with any firm or corporation
contracting with or selling anything
to the municipality could sit as a men,
Der of any public board. The law
promised to vacate every seat on the
school board, the police and fire com
mission and even the park board. Now
this danger is past as the law passed
in the last hours OF the legislature and
approved by the governor on Thursday
night provides that the former law be
restored. Under this law no member
Of the common council or board of ed
ucation is permitted to enter into a
contract with the city for the furnish
ing Of supplies or for doing any pub
lie work. The law also provides that
men employed as managers by corpora
tions doing business with the city may
not sit as a member of any public
board. The same law applies to men,
bers of the county board Of supervisors
who might seek to make contracts with
the county. The law just repealed was
in effect. for about twenty days and
in that time it is possible that some
of the Kenosha aldermen and school
commissioners were guilty of an Of
Tense against the state law. Attorneys
however held when called to pass on
the case Of one alderman that the law
could not be effective in his case so
long as he had been elected to Office
prior to the passage of the law. They
held that it would, however, bar him
from being reelected to Office. Under
the new law just published all men,
bers of the council will not only be
able to continue in Office, but they
may seek reelection for Office next
providing, however, that before
that time the plans for commission
form of government for Kenosha do
not mature.

TO PENSION MOTHERS
Many Requests to State Of
ficials in Regard to the
Workings of New Law
COURTS TO Be THE JUDGES

Since Governor McGovern has sign
ed the Rosa child welfare, bill, popu-
larly known as the mothers pension
act, scores Of applications have been
received at the Office of the state board
of control and by Assemblyman Rosa
Of Beloit, asking the method for OBJ
tanning aid, This unusual interest in
dicates that the law will be one of
the most popular enacted at this SEES
sion Of the legislature and the board
of control will Immediately take up
the proposition of arranging for COM
plete reports made necessary under the
provisions of the law.
The bill provides that the county
superintendent of poor, chairman of
any town, or any relative or friend
Of any child under the age Of fourteen
who for any reason is dependent up
on the public for support, or whose
parents are unable, without aid, prop
erly to maintain, to bring up or edu-
cate such child, may apply by petitions
to the Juvenile court in counties hav-
ing such court and in other counties
to county or municipal court for aid.
It aims, wherever possible to prevent
the disrupting of homes and to grant
aid in the homes in preference to tax
ing the child and sending him to puo-
lie institution. 1t gives to the judge
broad discretion in handling children
keenino ever in mind the best welfare
of the child. Aid is limited to $12 per
month for the first child and So per
month for each subsequent child. It is
local option proposition as no county
is compelled to operate under the law
unless the county board shall elect to
appropriate the money. As an incen-
tive for granting aid the law provides
that the county shall be reimbursed
for one-half the amount so expended
The law provides for proper supervi-
sion and reports by the state board
of control and also directs the board
to make survey Of the whole field
of outdoor relief. Eighty thousand
dollars is appropriated to carry out
the provisions Of the law.

WOULD GUST G. g. M. E. RY.
City of Milwaukee to Start Custer Pro-
ceedings Against Interurban Line

Mayor Bading Of Milwaukee Thurs
day asked Assistant City Attorney
Williams to draw up a resolution to
present to the common council which
will direct the city attorney to proceed
in court to GUST. the Chicago and Mil
waukee Electric Railway from the
streets of the city. 1t has been held
by the city attorney that it has no
legal franchise. The attitude is taken
by the administration because of the
failure Of the Frost company to pave
within the track zone on Second street.
the only portion of the big downtown
paving project not completed. Com
missioner of Public Works Simmons
says that his letters to Receiver w. O..
Johnson of Chicago have been ignored.
