The complaints against the opera
tion of the powder plant have been be-
fore the county board of supervisors
in some form or other ever since the
explosion which wrecked the plant and
shook up the whole county and at the
fall session some action will probably
be taken to get the whole matter be
fore the court in some way, probably
by asking for an injunction to stop
the manufacture Of powder or other
explosives altogether in this county.
The decision Of the court will relieve
the board of any further responsibility
in the matter and the complaints may
be expected to come in to the board I'M
til it is demonstrated that the board
has no power to interfere with the OPP
GRAFTON Of the plant. One thing may
be taken for granted and that is that
the county cannot count on the powder
company being found at fault in CON
Quoting the details of its business
when its affairs are shown up in court.
The officials are too wise for that and
the company will be found operating in
strict compliance with the regulations
laid down by the legislature for the
conduct of its business.

WIRES CROSSED AGAIN.
City Loses Fire Alarm Box When Wires
Of Electric Company Get Crossed.

Crossed wires and more crossed wires
caused new troubles for the people Of
Kenoslta on Monday night and many
places in the city were IN darkness as
d result Of havoc wrought by the high
winds blowing against the wires Of
the electric light company. At the
corner of Eagle and Park avenue the
crossed wires caused the burning ont
of Box % of the city fire alarm sys-
TEN. Chief Isermann and his men went
to the box but the arc lamp in the street
was blazing in such a way that the
chief and his men were unwilling to
make an effort to repair the damage.
Manager Cowles declared this morning
that the trouble from the crossed wires
was due to the action Of the wind and
that the damage was being repaired as
rapidly as possible.

Land Purchased in Govern
ment Lottery by Charles
BisnO may be Valuable
SEEK OIL AND MINERAL RIGHTS

Charles Bisno, proprietor of the En-
terprlse on Church street, is a lucky
man and agents for a half a dozen
oil companies are now bombarding
him to sign a lease to Clio acres of
land in Oklahoma which he purchased
less than six months ago from the
United States government. Oil in pay
ing quantities has been discovered on
many pieces of surrounding lands and
it is declared that the discoveries made
may result in the opening Of one Of
the most paying oil fields ever dis
never seen the land when he bought
it, but when an agent from Kenosha
Went to MHskogee to attend the sale
Of the lands offered by the government
Bisno gave him a couple of hundred
dollars with instructions that he buy a
farm. The land was sold at auction
and the agent bought 610 acres Of the
land for the Kenosha man. Under the
terms of the sale twenty-five per cent
of the purchase price was paid at the
time of the sale and three wears are
allowed in which to complete the pay
ments. 1t is certain that offers made
to Bisno at the present time for leases
will provide for the payment Of the
land several times before the first
year Of his ownership has expired.
Ihe Church street man was very much
interested when asked in regard to the
land today. am not making any
claims at all, I said Bisno, but I
have been made several offers to lease
the land to oil companies which are
being developed in that section of Ok
lahoma. / have made a visit to the
land and we found a number of min
erals which may be Of value. In ad-
dition to the oil there are large de-
posts Of tale, brick shale, and certain
muds that are being used for medi-
cal purposes. Fred Babcock of Keno
sha was the agent for number Of
Kenosha men at the sale and he de-
clared today that just after the sale
he had been advised that the land was
rich in minerals and oil deposits. Bis

purchased any Of the land. Mr.. Bah
cock stated that he had been offered

1t is amout time that some of the most
notorious of the local violators of the
speed laws were brought into court and
fined. It is perfectly proper to fine out
siders who exceed the speed limit but
the docket of the police court should
not show fines levied against outsiders
exclusively when it is a matter of com
mon knowledge to all citizens who ever
have any occasion to make use of the
streets of this city that the speed laws
are violated daily and hourly by the
local speed maniacs. There are no ex-
ceptions to the law and no one has
been granted immunity from arrest and
prosecution under it. What Kenosha
wants is not reputation for "laying =
for tourists, but the reputation of being
a city where the speed laws are en-
forced absolutely against all alike

The play grounds movement took a
decided step in advance Saturday even
ing when arrangements were made to
have complete survey of the city
made by competent engineer to be
furnished by the National Play Grounds
and Recreation association under the d.
rection of the park commission. A
practical and scientific plan that will
care for the present and future needs
of the city along these lines is to be
worked out and the people Of the city
will then have definite idea of the
task before them of providing proper
recreation grounds for the children of
the city. 1t is expected that it will
take years to work out these plans, but
in the future any work that is under.
taken viii be undertaken with definite
end in view. The work will have to be
done piecemeal but none of it will be
haphazard. All that is accomplished
in any one year will be an integral
part of the complete system which il
is hoped viii finally be provided. 1t is
a work that is important enough to
inspire the public spirited people of the
city and every citizen should be proud
to have a share in it.

Following the conviction of minor
in the municipal court on charge of
intoxication, always comes the stereo-
typed report that "the police are max
ing an effort to find out where the boy
obtained the liquor" but even the
best friends of the police can not claim
they have been particularly successful
in running down these cases and secur-
ing convictions of the guilty saloon
keepers or other parties handling the
liquor. The present methods having
been shown to be practically useless,
it has been suggested that new sys-
TEN be given q trial and that the police
get the evidence against the people sell
ing the liquor before making the ar
rests. 1t should take no great amount
Of detective ability to keep track of a
half drunken boy for an hour or two
until he indicates where he is getting
his supplies The better class of saloon
men, those who believe that their bust
ness should be conducted in straight,
legitimate manner under the law, are
more interested than any one else in
seeing that too many Of these cases are
not heard il the police court. There
- some reason to believe that the sa-
loon business as a whole has been bear
ing ndeserved odium on these charges
Of selling liquor to minors that proper
" belongs elsewhere and the saloon
men should be alert to see that the
blame Of selling to minors is placed ex-
actly where it belongs. Their business
has enough to contend with without as
suming any additional burdens.

Turning back to 1880, you ind that
banks in the United States had a
hundred and ten million dollars CAPT
tai, forty-eight millions Of outstanding
circulating notes, hundred and sixty
millions of loans and only thirty-nine
millions of deposits. At that time, in
other words, bank loaned its own
capital and circulating notes. Its de-
posts were insignificant; and the pur-
chasing power of the country was pref
ty accurately measured by the volume
of specie and banknotes outstanding.
At present banks hold more than
two-6fths of all the money in the
country; and for every nine cents and
a quarter of money in their vaults
they have one dollar of deposits. It
is these bank depositsin the ratio Of
more than ten to one to actual money
in vault-that now represent the
country purchasing and investing
power. Broadly speaking, nobody pur-
chases with actual money nowadays
For such purpose he uses bank cerdit
At the date of the comptroller s last
report banks in the United States had
extended credit to the amount of nine
teen billion dollars-fourteen billions
in the form of loans and five billions
| in the form Of bonds and stocks held
for Investment. On the other side OF
the ledger you find that depositors had
extended credit to the banks in the
sum Of seventeen billion dollars, that
being the aggregate of their deposits
In fine, the banks owed the public
seventeen billions and the public owed
the banks nineteen billions.
1t is this huge structure of bank
credit in the form of deposits--prac.
tically an invention of the last two
generations-that carries on the whole
business Of the country. For every
dollar of actual money in the country
there are nearly five dollars of bank
deposits vested with the more import
ant economic functions of money
itself.
Currency and banking are generally
linked together in political programs,
and the currency end is usually more
attractive to politicians; but it is the
least important end. Saturday Even

The chief of police has asked for an
ordinance that will fix the age limit
of the skaters who shall be permitted
to use the walks of the city and he has
suggested that the limit be placed al
eleven years. Few people would APP
prove of an ordinance that would bar
the little children from the walks, but
there is a very general feeling that
something will have to be done to curb
the older skaters who pay not the
slightest attention to the rights of pc
destrians to the walks and who are be-
coming nuisance. Tt might be pos
sible to make disorderly conduct
charge stick against the most lawless
skaters and suppress them that way
but if the chief has decided that a
special ordinance is needed to enable
him to take such action as will do away
with the continual complaints against
the rowdy skaters, the council will
probably give him one. The aldermen
have been as much annoyed as any
other citizens at the actions of some
of the skaters.

1T is new departure for the state
game warden to send out assistants in
the effort to save the birds, but the
idea is q good one. The expense OF
conducting this campaign of education
cannot be very heavy and considering
only the value of the birds from the
economic standpoint it is money well
spent. The work is being done princi-
pally in the schools, where it is most
likely, to be productive of results.

CARLSON FAILS TO REMEMBER
Man Arrested Following Sudden Death
of Woman Gets Continuance of Case
Until Friday Excitement Said to
Have Produced Death of Woman.

A post norton examination Of the
body of Mrs Rosa Eble, who died very
suddenly at the Cream City Hotel on
Sunday evening was made on Monday
evening by DR.. f. I'll. Lansdowne and
| DIR. G. A. Palm and after the post NOR
tenn the physicians declared that the
woman had died from shock and in
speaking Of the matter this morning
DR.. Lansdowne declared that it was his
opinion that the death of the woman
was produced by the excitement fol
lowing the personal encounter between
her husband and Otto Carlson, the man
who was alleged to have offered an
insult to the young woman shortly be-
fore her death.
eve found nothing at the post NOR
tenn that would indicate the cause of
death,P said DR.. Lansdowne THE
womans heart was found to be in nor
NAL condition. The examination show
ed that her entire system had been
weakened and it is my opinion that
Mrs. Eble became greatly wrought up
over the trouble between her husband
and the other man and when she went
into the hall she tainted and had in
sufficient vitality to recover from the
fainting spell. I had treated the wom-
! an some time ago and | was well ac-
quainted with her condition and | feel
certain that her death came as a result
of just such a. shock as was produced
by the excitement. !"
The physicians made the examina-
tion of the body of the young woman
at the direction of the district attor-
ney. and the coroner.
| Carlson who had been arrested at
the time of the sudden death of Mrs.
Eble was brought before Judge Ran
dali in the municipal court late Fri
| day afternoon and charged with using
abusive language to the Womanl He
| declined to plead to the charge in the
warrant, declaring that he could not
remember what had happened at the
hotel. The hearing of the case was ad-
journed until Friday. In the meantime
the district attorney has been furnish
ed with number of affidavits in regard
| to the actions of Carlson and these are
expected to figure in the hearing on
Friday. The district attorney declar-
ed on Monday afternoon that he could
see no way under the statute of hold
ing Carlson on q criminal charge. Peo-
/ pie who knew Mrs. Eble declare that
she was of highly nervous tempera-
ment. Previous to her encounter with
| Carlson she was in normal health.
Carlson when questioned by the dis
trict attorney declared that his alleged
] insult Of the woman was false in every
particular. No one heard the CONVEX
sation between the two and with the
death Of Mrs. Eble all chance Of
bringing evidence against Carlson was
/ lost.
The funeral of Mrs. Eble will be
held from St. George Church on We'd
nesday morning and interment will be
at st. George cemetery.
