citizens Of Bowbells in regard to
Installing an electric light plant

ended for some reason or other,

present. The first on the pro-
gram was the Kenmare promot-
er who stated his proposition,
and his talk was followed by
several Bowbells people who
stated that they were not in fa-
vor of accepting what he had
to offer.
Mayor Smith and several al
dermen stated that they
thought a better deal could be
obtained elsewhere, as did sew
eral other prominent citizens.
All present seemed to favor the
idea of organizing a local stock
company to be Incorporated, for
the purpose of buying a plant
and all showed their willingness
to. take stock in such company
providing, same was organized.
AS no one present pretended to
know much about electricity it
was decided o adjourn the meet
ing until some future date when
more knowledge could be OBJ
tanned on the subject. Mayor
Smith promised to write to the
different cities in North Dakota
and Minnesota where plants. Of
about the size we need here are
being used and to make his re-
port at the next meeting. No
definite date has been set for
the next meeting, but same will
be announced in The Tribune as
soon as it is decided upon.

R0BS The STATION
After Notifying the Police of His
Intentions.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-When Alex w.
Dawson, chief investigator of the Chi
cago Law and Order league, testified
last Friday to theft of files from the
Irving Park police station, he told
Chief of Police McWeeny, who was
a police station. and to prove this
statement he promised to burglarize
four other police stations.
Despite this warning, the police did
not prevent a repetition of the exploit
last night at the Desplain's street sta
ton, one of the biggest in the city and
one of the most numerously manned.
Municipal Judge John A. Mahoney's
court is in the Desplains station. When
court adjourned yesterday he locked
his files in a drawer and locked the
door as he left the room.
Somewhat later some one entered
the station, nodded cheerfully at a
desk sergeant wandered through the
squadron, past the detective quarters
and the offices of Lieutenants Gallery
and Hutchinson, and up a flight of
stairs. He then forced open the judges
chambers and the locked drawer and
with the files under his arms, retrac-
ed the exact course by which he had
entered and passed several detectives
and officers who were in uniform.
He excited no suspicion.
When the robbery was called to at
tention of Davidson, he laughingly
evaded answering but gave an outline

WOMEN JUDGES
New Election Commissioner
Fav0rS the Plan.
Many Suffragists Will Officiate
at Next Election.

W. H. Kemper, new city commits
sioner of elections, wants to have wo-
men judges at the primaries this
spring. Come on, suffragists. There
are % polling stations, three judges
at each station. If the new voting
machines aren't utilized, there will
also be two clerks. Since the women
have volunteered to help manage mu-
fast and furiously. Any woman who
has registered is eligible as judge.
MIR. kemper wants to see plenty OF
spring bonnets, and narrow skirts
handing out ballots, receiving slips,
and presiding over the registration
book. The primaries come March "a,
and city elections the first of April.
IF any woman is anxious to enlist.
! shall be delighted to have her serve
in that capacity" said Mr.. Kemper
this morning, mo woman can be put
on the board until she has registered.
| invite them all to come and register.
If a woman voted at the last munich
pal election and hasn't changed her
residence since that time, it isn't nee
essary for her to register again, I
believe in woman'S rights, and think
she ought to enter into politics as fully
as possible
Mr.. Kemper, who is vice president
of the National Voting Machine COM
pany, thinks it most probable that %
voting machines will be purchased for
the spring election. In that case the
result of the race will be known five
minutes after the last ballot is cast
Mr.. Kemper, who assumed duties
at the city hall the first of the month,
is much pleased with his new work.
He is only registering from four to
twelve voters each day, but expects
the usual rush two weeks Immediately
preceding the primaries. Mr.. Kemper
is assisted by George Wagner. the
first man he has appointed. The new
commissioner of elections was grand
secretary of the Odd Fellows for sew
eral years, and he is well versed in
clerical work of all kinds
