That Mr.. Farley's resignation has been
in the Governors hands has been known
for some weeks, but Nj. Whitman has
insisted that he would not namo Far.eys
successor until the fall. Consequently
the appointment of Green to-day was "A
surprise.
The Governor was prevailed upon thus
suddenly to send Mr.. Green's name into

portunity for a public discussion Of
Mr. Green's availability for this office.

CIRCUIT COURT THURSDAY.
Judge Belden to Make Effort to Dispose
of All the Court Cases on the
Calendar at That Time.

judge Belden is going to play Santa
Claus to lot of litigants in the circuit
court as he sent formal notice this
morning that he would come to Keno
sha on Thursday morning and hold
court with a view of settling up all of
the cases on the court calendar. 1t
looks like busy day for the judge as
there are some twelve cases on the
calendar to be disposed of and in addi-
tion to this he will take up number
of cases which the lawyers have been
waiting for a chance to hear. Nearly
all of the court cases on the calendar
were slated at that time. Judge Belden
is now hopeful that all of these cases
will be taken care of before Christmas
day. There are few cases on the list
of interest to the general public, but
several of them have been on the calen-
dar for a long time.

SHOPPERS THRoNG STORES.
Hundreds Come in From Rural Districts
to Swell the Record Holiday
Trade in Kenosha This Year.

The army of Christmas shoppers in
lKenosha and Kenosha county responded
to the call to the colors today and the
stores of the city were thronged with
shoppers. They were men and women
with money to spend and they were
buying things all the time. The west.
ern train this morning brought in
seven coaches loaded down with people
from the towns villages along the
line and the toy )ple were also out
in force today. -.Iany of the stores
found their forces of clerks worked to
the limit to take care of the business
today and even heavier business is ex-
pected on Wednesday and Thursday.
Store men seem to agree that the early
shopping fever has caught Kenosha
and they expect that most of the pur
chases will have been made by the
time the stores close up on Thursday
night. However, it is pretty certain
that the night before Christmas will
as in other years, prove a big magnes
for trade. From all reports there is no
doubt but that the business this year
will set a record for Kenosha.

SHOW VALUE OF REAL WORK
Every City in Kenosha's Glass in Wis
consin Has Larger Per Capita Expen-
diture-Many Expend Many Times
as Much-Milwaukee, $3.50. First.

Kenosha has the lowest death rate of
any city of its size in the state and
the fact that this is due to proper hand
ling of the health department. rather
than to the expenditure of vast
amount of public funds is shown by a
report of the United States census
bureau which was made public on Sun
day morning. This report shows that
for every person in Kenosha the city
spends tWenty-four celts a year for
the protection Of health. This expen-
diture is based on report which shows
that Kenosha expended $6,047 for pub
lie health protection The records of
the city indicate that for the past three
years the health board has been given
an appropriation Of $4,000 and there
has always been an unexpended balance
in the fund.
Local health board members insist
that the per capita for Kenosha is in
the neighborhood of eighteen cents for
each person. At any rate the govern
ment figures place Kenosha low enough.
AS compared with other cities in the
state the Kenosha expenditure is
very small.
In Milwaukee the per capita annual
expenditure for the protection of the
public health is $3.50. Up in Madison
the expenditures is $1.62 per capita
Green Bay spends 90 cents for each
person and even Cudahy, just little
suburban town, spends SLAP for each
person. Racine spends more than dou-
bic the amount per capita spent in Ke-
nosha, the per capita cost in that city
being Sc cents. In every one Of the
cities named the death rate has been
considerably higher than in Kenosha
The census bureau report gives the
following figures of health and santa
ton in cities of Wisconsin having a
population Of eight thousand or over.

FLYING TRAIN STRIKES WAGON
Body of Well Known Carrier Hurled
$50 Feet and Every Bone Broken
Horse Also Killed-the Christmas
Mail Strews Blood-stained Track.

The unprotected grade crossing
brought another sickening butchery
just after ten clock this morning
when William Hansen, fifty years of
age and rural mail carrier working
out of the Racine post office, was hurl-
ed to death by a flying train at the
Chicory crossing Of the Northwestern
road between Racine and Kenosha.
The horse driven by Hansen was al
so instantly killed and the light wagon
in which he carried a heavy Christmas
mail was torn to pieces and the Christ
mas stamped parcels strewn along the
blood stained tracks The south bound
train which struck Hansen should have
reached Kenosha at $3.50 but it was
behind time and it was running at a
terrific rate of speed. The body of
Hansen terribly mangled was picked up
more than two hundred feet from the
crossing where the train had struck
his wagon and the dead body of the
horse had been carried nearly as far.
Nearly every bone in Hansen IS body
was broken. Many of the Christmas
parcels in the wagon had been torn
open when the wagon was struck and
some of these were laying about the
dead body of the man into whose Gus
tody they had been given.
Hansen had been making the route
out of Racine into Racine and Kenosha
county for the past two years. It had
become mechanical for him to watch

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Of Wisconsin State Banking
Department.


To All to Whom These Presents
Shall Come:
Whereas, By an examination of the
Citizens Bank of Kenosha, located at
Kenosha, County of Kenosha, State OF
Wisconsin, the undersigned has ascer-
tanned that the capital stock of $50, 200
required by its articles of incorpora-
ton, has been paid in in full and that
the said banking corporation, has
in all respects complied with the
provisions of an act of the Legisla-
ture of the State of Wisconsin, entitled
!" An Act for the Creation of Banks
and for the Regulation and Supervision
of the Banking Business approved
May 18th, A. D., 1903, and all acts
mandatory thereto; now
Therefore, In pursuance of law, I

Banking of the State of Wisconsin, dc

the trains. He expected them at GER
tain hours but this morning the train
was late and Hansen probably drove
on the track thoughtless of his danger.
The engine which struck the Inflated
carrier was stopped some four hundred
feet from the crossing and when the
engineer came back people who aided
in picking up the remains of the man
say that he declared that he never saw
the horse or the wagon until a second
before the crash came. He had made
no effort to stop the train. When he
saw the carrier the horse was in the
very center of the tracks at the cross
ing and there was no use to attempt
to stop the flying engine.
The crossing is the same crossing at
which two employees of the Armour
company branch in Racine met death
ia little over a year ago.
The remains of Hansen were taken
to Racine and an inquest will be held
by the Racine county coroner probably
on Wednesday afternoon. Hansen had
left the post Office just after eight o.
clock this morning and had stopped at
a number of places on the route. He
had his wagon pretty well filed with
Christmas mail and was driving west
when the accident occurred.
Hansen is survived by widow and
three children. He had been in the
postal service for some years and was
a great favorite among the people liv-
ing along the road between Racine and
Kenosha. On account of the accident
the train pulled into Kenosha nearly
an hour late.
This crossing is regarded as one of
the most dangerous on the road be-
tween Racine and Kenosha and several
times attempts have been made to Sc
cure better protection for it.

REPUBLICANS MEET WEDNESDAY
State Leaders to Gather in Milwaukee
to Talk Over Plans FOR Delegates
to Chicago Convention.

The initial gun will be fred in the
campaign which the conservative Re-
publicans will carry on in this state to
secure conservative delegation from
Wisconsin to the Republican national
convention, ct the Republican state
central committee meeting on Wednes-
day in the Republican House in Mil
waukee.
One of the significant features of
this meeting will be the attitude Of the
McGovern men on the committee. By
far the greater number of the commit
tee members are either Philip or Me-
Govern men. There are very few ul-
ira La Toilette men on the committee
and there is good deal of speculation
in the air as to how far the McGovern
men will endorse the program which
may be proposed by the Philip men.
In interviews given out by Governor
Philip and Chairman kletzsch who is
the recognized McGovern leader on the
committee indicate that the program
of the Philip men and the McGovern
men might not be very far apart.
The Philip men will, however, pro-
pose some kind of an endorsement for
the proposed convention for the recon-
mendation of candidates for delegates
to the Republican national convention.
Whether the McGovern men will be
willing to endorse such a convention
remains to be seen. For this reason
the political leaders are watching
closely the committee results.
