CHRISTMAS BOX TO THE DUMP.
Santa Works Amidst Garbage Seeking
Presents of South Side Family.

Santa Claus worked on the dump
near the plant of the Simmons Manu-
featuring Company this morning, but he
wore a uniform of the police depart
ment of the city of Kenosha. He
searched for box containing Christ
mas presents to the value Of more than
thirty dollars which disappeared from
a south side home on Tuesday after
noon. The box of presents had been
hidden in the cellar of the house and
when the garbage man came for his
weekly call he loaded the box of dainty
gifts on his wagon and carried it to the
dump and it went rolling down the
bank with the tin cans and lot of
other refuse. When the loss was dis
covered a hurried trip was made to the
dump but the box had disappeared. 1t
is just possible that freighted with its
message Of good cheer it is drifting
out on the waters of the lake, but the
police believe that it was picked up by
some beach comber. One arrest was
made in connection with the case this
morning, but the man suspected declar-
ed that he had seen nothing Of the box.

WIFE ksKs DIVORCE.
Mrs Sylvia N. Fox Seeks Legal Sepa-
ration From Missing Cigar Maker.

In the municipal court this morning
Mrs. Sylvia n Fox through her attor-
ney, Calvin Stewart, filed suit for di-
vorce from her husband, John H. Fox.
She alleges desertion. The defendant
was formerly one of the best known
cigar m~l-rea cturers in Kenosha, but
in the complaint of Mrs. Fox she as
serts that he left Kanosha on the 2Sth
day of November of last year and that
she has seen or heard nothing of him
since that time. Mr.. and Mrs. Fox
was married at Bemont, Wis, Nov. 81.
1890. Much of the twenty-four years
OF their married life had been spent in
kenosha. They have four children, two
OF whom are minors and Mrs. Fox asks
that the custody of these children be
awarded 20 her. Attorney for Mrs. Fox
believes that her missing husband may
be in California and efforts are being
made to locate him in that state. In
the meantime summons in the divorce
action is being secured by publication.
Both the plaintiff and the defendant
are widely known in Kenosha.

Kenosha Politicians Fail to
Favor Deposits by Can
didates For Office.
MILWAUKEE LANTURNEDDOWN

The movement started in Milwaukee
to have the primary election law amend
ed so as to provide that candidates
must deposit two and half per cent
of the first years salary of the Office
to show their good faith, is not meet
ing with support in Kenosha. Letters
have been sent to this city urging 10
cal leaders of both parties to get be
hind the proposed change in the law
but there will be Gotnlng doing, Local
politicians are ready to fight their
heads off to kill the Mary Ann = pro
vision of the primary law and they
want a lot of other things connected
with it erased from the statute books
but they balk on the two and half per
cent rule.
Leaders of both parties today declar-
ed that such rule would be almost as
foolish as the : Mary Ann = law. They
assert that it would drive the poor
man out of politics and keep him out.
The majority Of the men who run
for office N Kenosha county are forced
to get credit for their campaign ex-
penses," said the chairman of one of
the old time parties in Kenosha this
morning. "Such a law as these fellows
In Milwaukee have proposed would
make it almost impossible to get any
one into the field for office. ANY man
that runs for office in this county needs
all the money he has to pay his ex-
penses and if he were forced to make
deposit with the county or state it
would be necessary for him to stand
off all his creditors until the campaign
was over ana he had chance to get
his money back. The idea is wholly
devoid of justice. The present election
machinery makes it expensive enough
for man to seek a public office and
this new burden would be in the ma
ture of last straw. Of course, the
amount to be deposited would be small.
A man rmning for alderman would
have to put up a five dollar bill. and
I've seen men running for alderman in
Kenosha wLo if they had five dollars
would not have been in the race. I be-
heve that the expenses of the majority
of the men running for city offices in
Kenosha is less than five dollars. y
The Milwaukee election board is said
to be behind this proposed change in
the law and communications are being
sent to all of the larger cities in the
state asking the men who are polite
ally inclined to button hole the mem
bers of the assembly and the senate
and secure favorable action Oh the law.
Kenosha people, who have political
aspirations will be pretty well satisfied
If they get the Mary Ann law off the
statute books. A lot of them would not
object to the entire primary election
law being repealed, but it is not ex-
pected that any sudh radical change
will be taken by the next legislature.

THANKS FOR KIND TREATMENT
Missouri Valley (Iowa) Woman Who
Met With Misfortune in Kenosha
County Sends Most Pathetic Letter Of
the Christmas Season to Kenosha.

The most interesting and pathetic
expression of the Christmas spirit seen
IN kenosha comes from Missouri Valley,
6 little village in Iowa, where Miss
Esther Crawford, a former teacher and
Library worker, is living. The most
tragic chapter Of the life of Miss Craw-
ford conferred about an incident in Ke-
nosha county, A nervous wreck and
worn out from over work last Septem-
Der she came to Kenosha and going out
TO the Fleming hill in the town of Sa-
lem sought to end her life by opening
the veins of her wrist. The manner in
which the over wrought woman was
nursed back to health in Kenosha
county is well known For twenty
four hours Miss Crawford was at the
sheriff s residence, held pending the ar
rival OF her relatives. This morning
Mrs. T. w. B. Achen, wife Of Sheriff
Achen, received from Miss Crawford a
contribution of money to be expended
in making Christmas day brighter for
the people and particularly the women
who might be confined in the county Jail.
The amount was not large, but with it
the Iowa woman sent letter express
sive of good will such as is rare in
similar cases. In her letter Miss
Crawford says:
The memory of your kindness to
me during those twenty four hours in
the "sherif' s residence last Septem-
Der has remained ever present.
Because the Christmas season must
bring many more to you whose pathetic
needs will appeal to you even more
than those you see daily, I want to
send little contribution which you
can use in whateverNTay seems best to
you, to Tighten the hardness of things
for some poor soul, as you made it pos
sible for me to get thrugh that night
and day without bitterness.
When you use it, think of it as be-
ing specially blessed by the real donor,
not myself, but one Of the most sanity
mothers which the world ever knew
the mother of a dear friend in DAYTON.
Ohio, who sent me few dollars out of
her own very limited means, to be used
as [ needed All other gifts in that
line | have returned, but because of
the spirit back Of this [ have chosen
to keep it and to share part of it with
some other soul who needs motherino
at this season as you find it possible to
90 that. | am sure no one could so well
carry out the spirit back Of all this as
you can, and the time is all too short in
which to give you the chance.
I hope after you have left the place
and are free to speak that you will let
the inwardness of conditions in the
county Jail be known among other
women who are genuinely trying to put |
like human feeling into the |
problem of dealing with those who
have been less fortunate in evading the |
hardness of social conditions.
May your own Christmas season be
blessed even if it can not be happy in
the midst of so much unhappiness-you
have rare power, however, of bring
ing the happiness of peace and rest
and comforting sunlight without seem
ing to do other than the everyday. |
normal thing.
Most sincerely yours,
Esther Crawford. /"
