OFF FOR BIG PoW-Wow.
Kenosha Democrats, Mostly Postofice
Candidates, Attend Big Gathering.

A half a dozen Kenosha democrats
most of them seekers for appointment
as postmaster, went to Milwaukee this
afternoon to attend the big state pow
wow of democracy of Wisconsin It is
a sort of get-gether party and the
main hope of the men engineering the
meeting is that some of the warriors
of the party do not get too close to-
gether. It is understood that one of
the big problems to be taken up with
the leaders of the party is the question
Of federal patronage. Senator Husting
has shown willingness to take upon
himself the responsibility of handling
this little matter and while he is not
asking for help the suggestion may be
made that he accept some suggestions
at the meeting today. Of course the
Kenosha contingent are hopeful that
during the afternoon there will be some
decision reached as to who is to step
into the shoes of Robert Verne Baker
at the Kenosha postofice. The first
session OF the pow-wow was called for
half past two at the Plankington Ho-
tel. 1t is just possible that an adj
journment to the auditorium will be
found necessary if all Of the postofice
candidates and federal Office seekers
decide to attend.

charged with making the assault.
Donegal, one of the men, was caught
by Sheriff Richardson in hiding near
the railway station at Geneva, after
the blood hounds had led the way TO
his hiding place. This man declared
that his companion was Frank Roloff
and it was declared that he escaped on
a train to Decatur, Ill.
In the meantime Peck had been rush
ed to the Colonial Hospital at Geneva
and an examination showed that he had
been beaten over the head with club.
An operation was performed and DR..
F. NJ Marstiller, who attended him de-
clared this morning that there was a
chance of his recovery.
The two men charged with the as
sault had gone TO the Peck farm only
a few days ago and had been given
employment, Peck was unable to make
any statement in regard to the manner
in which he had been injured and was
still unconscious this afternoon.
The attempt on the life of Peek
caused great excitement and the one
man Under arrest is being closely guard
ed in his cell in the Geneva Jail.

WON'T BUILD HIGH SCHOOL.
Bristol and Paris Voters Smother Plan
Under Avalanche of Votes.

The Bristol-Paris joint high school
is not going to be built at this time
for the voters of the two towns smoth-
cred the proposition under an avail
anche of votes at joint town meet
ing held at the village Of Bristol on
Tuesday afternoon. There were 344
votes cast at the election and 273 vot-
ers were against the proposition and
II for it. The great majority against
the proposed new school came as
great surprise as the men and women
who had been active in promoting the
town meeting were Of the opinion that
the proposition would carry by almost
as large a majority. It is declared
that the large vote against the propos-
ed high school was due to misunder-
standing of just what the plan includ-
ed. The leaders in the movement,
while greatly discouraged, will start
a new movement in the near future
and seek to have another joint town
meeting called to consider the question.

These are days of automobiles, base
ball and golf, when people take their
pleasures in speed, yelling and costly
games. What has become of the simple
old times when so many people used to
find their recreation in studying botany,
lsplitting up rocks to find their geologi-
cal formation, or learning the notes of
the birdsq Are there any nature stu
dents leftg
If you asked the modern business
man to find relief from the cares of his
Office by going into the woods and
learning the names and characteristics
Of the trees, the plants, and the insects,
he would be very much bored.
Yet every species of birds has it's
own destinations and graces, and it is
la pleasure to number them all in your
circle of friends. Every variety of tree
renders its own service to mankind,
and it is interesting to know what it
has contributed to human life. The
outdoor world is great stage on
which nature is performing her thrill
ing drama. If ones eyes can be open
ed, there is a world of beauty and in
terest in the quiet seclusion of the
swoods4and fields.

PLANNING GREAT ENCAMPMENT
Fiftieth Anniversary of the Formation
OF the Grand Army of the Republic
to be Observed With Grand Review
of the Boys in Blue.

Fifty years ago the victorious Union
armies, fresh from the batt1efelds of
the civil war and the surrender at APP
pomatox, marched down Pennsylvania
avenue in Washington.
1t was grand review of the war
SCARED legions of Grant and Sherman,
OF Meade and Sheridan, and the other
famous commanders whose tboys in
blue = had preserved the Union Pres
ldent johnson and General Grant were
IN the reviewing stand as the veterans
swung proudly past to the exulting
music of their bands, while the battle
flags that had flown on hundred
bloody fields waved over the trium-
plant host.
This thrilling pageant, of national in
terest, will be reproduced as far as
possible during the forty ninth annual
encampment Of the Grand Army of the
Republic, which will be held in Wash
ington, September 27-October 3, next,
according to the announcement made
today.
1t will be the fftieth anniversary of
the Grand Review. Thousands of the
same veterans who marched in that re-
view half century ago uniformed in
the Union blue, will again keep step
to martial music down Pennsylvania
avenue, and pass in parade before
President Wilson and members of his
cabinet. 1t will be the last time the
veterans will march in Washington, and
the last time that hundreds of them
will ever again attend an encampment,
as the aged men are fast passing away.

four years of campaigns and never sur

In declaring the jitney common car
rier and putting this new business I'M
der the rule of the state railroad COM
mission, Wisconsin is only following the
lead Of other states which have recog-
nized the necessity Of regulating this
new transportation medium. The pro-
posed action is meeting with a storm
of opposition from the jitney men who
see in this proposal what they fear is
an opportunity for the other transpor
tation lines to rule them off the most
profitable streets on the ground that
the territory being already provided
with transportation the railway COM
mission cannot issue any certificate Of
F'necessity and convenience" for com
petition to operate under. The jitney
men may be right but the trouble has
lbeen so far with the objections they
have fled against every proposal to
regulate the business that they have of
fered no satisfactory substitute for the
regulations they object to. The most
important consideration is the protec-
ton Of the public that uses the ma
chimes, Taxation is a secondary matter
but by many of the drivers it is con-
sidered first. They go on the principle
that the public may be permitted to
assume its own risks and forget that
the authorities will be accused of lax
lily and neglect of duty when the in
evitable accidents come, if they permit
anything of the kind One thing that
the drivers appear to overlook is the
Influence that the popularity of the jit-
neys with the public will have on any
regulations that may be put in force.
The public wants the jitneys regulated
but it does not want them regulated to
the extend of putting them out of bust
ness. So long as they retain this popu-
larity with the public they need fear
no legislation that will pu5 them out
of business.

rendered, will soon have to lower its
standards, defeated by Time, the only
enemy able to vanquish the veterans.
Because of the increasing death rate
and the feebleness of the survivors of
the great war it is probable that the
Grand Army will never again hold a
great encampment after the Washing
ton event. As this gathering is the
last in which many of them will par
ticipate, and as the anniversary of the
Grand Review is of such historic sig
|nifcanee to them and the country, they
will make great efforts to be in Wash
ington in September. The encampment
will therefore be the largest and most
successful ever held by the organiza-
ton.
Washington is making elaborate pre-
parations to receive the veterans, and
the nation IS capital will be en- fete dur
ing the week that the famous soldiers
are within her gates.
Government officials and the people
of the capital are unit in extending
invitations, through the press of the
country, to the nation to visit Wash
ington during G. A. R. week. plans
are being perfected to make the en-
|campment and then Grand Review an
event of national Importance.
An elaborate program of entertain
Iment for the veterans and citizens who
visit the capital at that time is being
prepared. The War department and
the Navy department are cooperating
In the program.
The former has arranged for exhibi-
tion drills of U. s. troops, cavalry, ar
tillery and infantry, at For Myer,
which is suburb of Washington. Some
of the best soldiers in the army are sta
toned at Fort Myer, particularly the
cavalry, which numbers among the en-
listed men many of the greatest riders
in the world. Crack batteries of light
artillery are also stationed at Fort
Myer. Aeroplane exhibitions are to
be given by the Signal Corps. The
Wright brothers demonstrated in pub
lie the first aeroplane at Fort Myer.
The Navy department. will have
fleet of torpedo-boat destroyers, sub
marines, gunboats, and cruiser de-
tached from the Atlantic fleet and sent
up the Potomac river to Washington,
where the ships will remain during the
encampment. A big feature will be
camp fires, at which will be held re-
unions of the various corps of the
Union armies.
Just below Washington, on the Po-
tomac, is located Indian Head proving
ground, where big guns for the navy or
fortiications are tested before being
placed on battleships or in our coast
defenses. The veterans and visitors
will have an opportunity to see the
operations at Indian Head, as well as
scores of other places of interest in or
around Washington.

| CAPTURED BY DlOODROUNDs
Louis Donegal in Jail and Frank Roloff
Being Sought BY the Police of I'LL
nois City-one May Hide Identity
Under an Assumed Name.
(From Thursday IS Daily

Two Kenosha boys, tie names given
as Lewis Donegal and Frank Rolof are
charged with the commission of SER
ious crime at Geneva, ILL.,, on Wednes-
day night.
The boy known as "Dongal'' is in
Jail at Geneva and the police of Keno
sha were notified this morning to make
an effort to apprehend Roloff in Keno
sha, as it is thought possible that he
made an effort to reach his home in
this city. He was formerly employed
at the plant of the Thomas B. Jeffrey
Company and lived on Lyman avenue.
After his arrest, the companion of Ro-
loft declared that he had sister living
on Dayton street here.
The two Kenoshans are charged with
the attempted murder of Albert S.
Peck, one of the wealthiest lien in the
neighborhood of Geneva. He lived
mile southeast of Geneva and it is al
legged that the two Kenosha boys had
been employed as workers on the Peck
farm. Wednesday night it is alleged
the two men slugged Peck and beat
him into Inconsistencies, robbed him
of several hundred dollars and then
buried him beneath the hay in barn
with the belief that Peck had been muir
dered
Peck was found by Miss Rena Mere
dith, his housekeeper, who had gone to
the barn to search for him when he
failed to return to the farm house. Miss
Meredith called physicians to attend
Peck and then notified Sheriff Richard
son of Kane county, who at once Sc
cured bloodhounds from Aurora and put
them on the trail of the two men

The rules being issued by humane So
cieties for care of horses in hot weather
should not be heedlessly thrown into the
waste baskets by hurried business men
and others An old fashioned driver
once made the remark, that whenever
his horse had hill to climb, he let him
walk for three rods on the top of the
slope before urging him up into trot.
1t was good advice for all who own
horses In a country where there are
hills. But most drivers in the ordinary
light carriage would laugh at the idea
and will whip up a horse before he
reaches the top of a slope and before
he has regained his breath. In many
places there are complaints that deal
ers selling heavy articles in bulk, such
as coal, will pile unreasonable loads on
horses where such goods are bought in
large quantities. Goods can often be
bought cheaper in large quantities de-
livered at a dealer IS convenience, but
economies if made at the expense of
horse flesh seem hardly worth while.
The most important item in the hot
weather rules for animals, is to load
lightly and drive slowly Drivers whose
time is valuable should be fitted out
with motor trucks that can get over
the ground at better rate. A draft
horse s great power of wind and muscle
is obtained at the sacrifice of quickness.
One of these plodding beasts may be
ihastened over the road by free use
of the whip But the owner takes some
thing@ou of his flesh and nerve power
every time he does it. If it is long kept
Gup, the owner will need a new horse
comparatively few people make use of
netsspri other covering to protect the
horses against insects. The horse has
peculiarly nervous temperament, and
Hnay suffer more from the persistent at
Facksof a fly than from the drawing of
an overSheavy load. The horse with a
locked tail may give his owner a com
Riacent feeling of good style. But some
people would rather give the poor beast
Rature's long tail as a weapon against
kogmenting insects
