POpulistiC Doctrine.

The theory that the United states
should issue currency in the form of
its promises to pay" declared Mr..
Aldrich, "is populistic doctrine It
had no standing as democratic prin-
ciple until the advent of Mr. Bryan
into the party platform in spite Of the
protests and against the votes OF the
men who had been most prominent
in the party councils. who advocated

which the party had adhered through
its eistence.

approval Of Mr. Byan's ideas with

He Quoted The President

NEW YORK. oct. l5.-Former
Senator Nelson W Aldrich of Rhode
Island, tonight attacked the Wilson
administration currency bill now be-
fore congress, which he declared en-
bodied the theories Of William j
Bryan. He denounced the bin as un-
sound, socialistic and revolutionary
charaCtcrizing 1t as IAN endeayOr to

triumph Of the doctrines and prin-

people at the polls. He quoted from

Mr.. Aldrlchs' speech was delivered

the lake is stirred by storm. In

there was absolutely no supply Of wat

the sum of 100000 = make the in
stallation Of filter a possibility.
superintendent B. G. Brennan Of the
water company this morning, said:
"The water has been roily for the past
two days on account of the storms on
the lake and there is nothing that we
can do to clear it up. The water is
safe for use as it has all been chlorinat-
ed but the chlorination does not take
the sand and ether dirt out Of the water
and the only way that I can see by
which the water can be made clear is
by installing filtration plant. Keno
sha is not the only city that has dirty
water today. The same water is flow
ing into the mains at every city where
the lake is used as the supply. We
have tried every possible plan to get
the water cleaner. The mains have
been flushed out, but this does no good
as the water is dirty when it comes in
from the lake after every storm Of this
nature and the company is powerless
to offer any remedy for the conditions.
We have had complaints but the only
hing that we can say in answer to
them is that there is no danger in the
use of the water"
Hsndreds of thrifty housewives in
kenosha have waited for two days to
do the weekly washing on account of
the fact that the condition of the
water was such as to make it unfit for
washing purposes. Clothes washed in
the city water on Monday were hung on
the line and when they dried they were
found to he streaked with dirt.
The officials Of the water company
hold that there is no money in the
treasury Of the company to provide for
the installation Of filtration plant.
The profits of the company have been
reduced in the past two years mani
pulation of rates under a former adj
ministration and the profits are now so
small that it would take years to pro-
vide for q fund to install filter which
would be sufficiently large to take care
of all the water of the city At the
present time the water commission
could with the money that is due from
the city probably provide fund close
to $4,000 to be used for filtration, but
this would be only part Of the
amount demanded.
The matter is to be taken before the
common council at the next regular
meeting and demand will be made

afternoon and which is within stone S
throw of the offices of Attorney Stew
art, the man purchased a stove which
was valued at $500. He also purchas-
ed base for it, the total amounting
to $9.S5. He gave orders that the
stove be delivered today at the Bulla-
more building on Park street. Later
the man went to the Meyer store
where he made the very same purchase.
Here he gave the same directions for
the delivery of the stove. Meyer was
a little suspicious after he had taken
the check and given the change and
this morning he called up Attorney
Stewart He stated that the man had
given his name as John Russell and
he had endorsed the check in this
name The same name was given at
the Schultz store. Russell is describ-
ed as being a man six feet tall, well
dressed and apparently a man of more
than average education. His story was
told il a convincing manner and he
haggled over prices to such an extent
that he gave color to the statement
that he really wanted to buy the stove.
Chief o'Hare did not get the story
of the forgeries until just before noon
today and he held a long conference
with Attorney Stewart The latter de-
clared that he had never heard of John
Russell and never had any idea of tax
ing any one from Gary, Ind, or any
where else into partnership with him.
He declared that the signature on the
checks was very similar to his own and
he at once started a search on his own
hook to find any other checks which
might have been passed. No other
checks hal been found up to a late
hour this afternoon.

GAVE FALSE REPORT.
Man Who Told Police Saloon was OPP
Grating Illegally Held in Jail

Peter sevitski, man living out in
the western part of the city, has learn
ed that it does not pay to bear a false
report to the police department.
Sevitski was forced to spend night in
jail as a result of his tattling. He
went to the police department. and de-
clared that there was gambling going
on IN a. Main street saloon and that
the same saloon had been open for
business long after the time set by the
regulations In less time than it took
to tell it two officers were sent out to
look into she matter. They found the
story told by the mar to be false and
they put him in the lookup and detain-
ed him as witness. After a night in
jail the man admitted that there was
no foundation for his story and he
went with the police officers to the sa-
loon and made full and complete
apology to the proprietor.

SIGNS NAME OF c. STEWART
Purchases Stoves in Two Kenosha
Stores With Orders to Deliver Them
to Place on Park street-Forged
Signature Proves Dangerous One.

Police officers of the city are investi-
eating one of the most interesting
cases of forgery known in Kenosha in
years and an effort is being made to
get some trace Of smooth swindler
who on Monday night cashed check
,purported to be signed by Calvin
Stewart, the well known attorney. The
check was passed at the store of A.
Meyer, well known market street furni-
ture dealer and the alleged forger got
away with $10.15 in cash. He made
purchases at the store which were left
for delivery, but nothing in regard to
him was found The police had no more
than started the investigation into the
Meyer case today when similar check
was brought in from the store Of II. G.
Schultz on Park street and it is now
thought possible that checks signed by
the forger may be circulating at
other stores in the city. The man
charged with uttering the false checks
was evidently an expert and his work
pore no signs OF crudeness. The sigma
tures to the checks is so nearly the per-
feet signature of Mr.. Stewart that even
had the men on which the checks were
passed known the signature the checks
would have been paid 1t is not i'm
probable that the checks would have
passed muster at the bank
The well dressed stranger got away
with little over twenty dollars in the
two places so far reported to the po-
lice. At botL of the places he told the
same story. He declared that he had
come to Kenosha from Gary, Ind, and
that he was an attorney of years prac-
tice and was going into partnership
with Mr.. Stewart. At the Schultz
store which was visited early Monday
