the following, which may be taken for what it is worth: Quite a remarkable occurrence was witnessed by two early hunters yesterday morning, while walking out the railroad track toward Ester Siding. The hunters had gone but a short over Moves slough when they ran into a rabbit whose hind feet were frozen to the track, and between that point and the government farm they came across a dozen more. All of the rabbits were alive, but they. had struggled so hard to free themselves that they had laserated their feet to such an extent that it was deemed a matter of kindness to put them out of their misery. Most of the rabbits were young ones, and it appears that they had jumped on the rails while eros sing the track, and their feet had frozen fast.

X number of natives north of Boring strait have sent white fox skins by parcel post to Seattle and San Francisco, receiving a better price than they could from the trading craft. The company in the Arctic during the season, says Capt. Ballinger, has been quite keen and the natives have received good prices for furs, the traders paying in cash. Fair white fox skins bring $15. which a few years ago would have considered an exorbitant price. The standard price at Point Hope for polar bear skins is s5. per foot of length. Capt.

Reports from Chicago indicate that

districts have recalled mysterious fires
destroying ice houses, Nbut it was al

Local Officials Sign Peti.
tions to Get Wisconsin
Man on Committee.
SEE NEED OF FRIEND At COURT

City officials Of Kenoska and mem
| bers Of the common council are sign
ing a petition addressed to Represen-
tative Oscar w. Underwood, head of
the democrats in the lower house of
congress, asking that Congressman
Thomas w. Konop Of the Ninth Wis
consin District, be named as a mem
Der of the harbor and rivers COM
mittee.
Wisconsin for many years was re-
presented on the 1ivers and harbors
committee, Henry Allen Cooper of
Racine, being member of that com.
mittee for several years and he was
succeeded by James II. Davidson of
Oshkosh, who will not be member
cf the next congress, as there will be
a large democratic majority in the
next congress ,and as Thomas f. Kon.
OPP, who was elected to congress from
the ninth district two years ago, is
the oldest democratic member from
Wisconsin it is desired that he be
appointed a member of the important
committee. The ninth district is in
the northeastern part of the state on
Lake Michigan and Green Bay and
the district contains many ha1bors
and commercial waterways including
the Sturgeon Bay Ship canal and the
Fox river. The request is also made
because of the needs of the lake shore
cities of Wisconsin.
1t is thought that every official of
the city will sign the petition and that
later the common council will pass a
resolution to be forwarded to the lead
ers of the democracy. The impo1tan
of Wisconsin having member on the
committee is apparent on account of
the vast amount of work that is de-
manded for harbors in Wisconsin. AS
there are plans pending for many i'm
provements in the Kenosha harbor
this city is especially interested in Sc
curing Wisconsin man on this i'm
portant committee.

Travelling in a style that beftted

in the home Of the president of the

years, Pauline Wayne returned to her
old haunts in Kenosha this morning.
She came in a special car which had

came one of the attendants from the
White House to see to it that she
reached home without meeting with
accident. The car was special steam
heated express car and Pauline had
plenty Of room in it to stretch herself.
From today Pauline will give up the
strenuous life and will go out to the
old pasture and the old stall at the
Stephenson farm where she will be-
come one of the leaders of the famous
herd Of Senator Stephenson. 1t is
expected that Pauline, who is now in

The society never goes into court if

it does it gathers its own evidence.
The expenses of the society have been
borne for years by a few people, but
more systematic effort to distribute
the burden of its support and pro-
vide money for any emergencies which
may aIise should be made. There must
be many people in the city who have
never assisted this work in any wav
who would be glad to give something

any lack of funds.

Senator Bishop of This County Among
the 90 Who Voted to Turn Down the
Appointee of the Governor-Ekern to

The political sensation Of decade
was pulled off in the state senate at
Madison late Thursday night when the
senate by a vote of % to . turned
down Governor Francis E. McGovern
and gave Herman L. Ekern, the insur-
ance commissioner who had been GUST

county, voted with the majority on
the report favoring Ekern and later
voted against the confirmation OF

named by the governor,

ment that he Sat all times, since his
appointment and qualification to said
Office, has faithfully, honestly and ably
discharged the duties of said office. }"
The action of the senate was in no
way a surprise. Any different action
would have been great surprise at
ter the events which preceded the
presentation of the report. 1t was
clear from the action of the dominant
faction in the senate for the last two
days that the result was certain to be
q slam at the governor.
Senator Husting took the laholing
oar in support of the committee re-
port. He asserted the governor had
acted in plain violation of the statutes,
Senator Kileen, replying, said he did
not believe one-third of the senators
behind the report were right.

Although the governor would not
discuss the situation at length, his
close friends declared that the name

turned down until the legislature adj

appointments would stand during the
recess.
Late Thursday night the governor,
when asked what his next move

WANT SPECIAL LIGHTING TAX
Association Viii Ask Council to Seek
Special Legislation Which Will Make
Possible Taxes For Decorative Lights
in Downtown District of the City

The retail merchants OF the city III
regular session at the rooms of the as
ISOLATION on Thursday evening decid-
ed to send a petition to the common
council asking that action be taken to
open the way for she installation of
a system of decorative lighting IN the
down town section of the city. The
merchants believe that the cost OF
maintaining the lights should be as
sessed as a tax against the property
benefited and they believe that be-
fore such a tax can be assessed it will
be necessary for the city of Kenosha
to secure the passage Of special act
by the legislature legalizing the col
lection of such tax. Tt is thought
that the city council will direct the
city attorney to prepare such a bill
and present it to the legislature at
once The merchants will not take
any further action in the matter of Sc
curing the lights until after this
special bill has been passed.
Public service corporations came in
for their share of criticism at the
meeting Thursday night. Represents
tives of the Wisconsin Gas and Elec-
trio Company were present at the
meeting and they were bombarded
with complaints on account of defects
in the service. Manager Calendar ad-
dressed the merchants and declared
that the troubles had been largely due
to the fact that the present machinery
of the company was carrying too heavy
a load. He stated that new machinery
was now being installed and that as
soon as the installation was completed
the company could give assurance of
the best possible service. Mr.. Callen-
dar urged the merchants to give the
company a chance to show what could
be done with the new machinery be-
fore making further complaints.
The service Of the Kenosha Home
Telephone Company also came in for
a discussion and some Of the members
Of the association were in favor of
taking the matter up with the rail
road commission, but it was voted to
first take the matter up with the local
manager and see if something could
not be done to improve the service
in Kenosha.
Reports of the railroad commission
Indicate that the service in Kenosha
at the present time is as good as the
average ia the state. Formerly the
service of the Kenosha company was
rated as the best in the state.
The merchants discussed at length
the proposed ordinance providing for
sales slips with every purchase made
in Kenosha stores and there was a
strong protest against the passage of
the ordinance. 1t was held that such
an ordinance would be a great nuisance
to the merchants themselves and that
the cost of it's enforcement would
have to be paid by the consumers.
The road ordinance was also dis
cussed and it is probable that the
merchants will later ask the council
to make few changes in this ordi-
nance in order to facilitate the de-
livery Of goods.
A large number of the merchants at
tended the meeting and it proved to
be one of the most interesting ever
held by the association.
