FASHIONS IN CLOWNS.
Sells-Floto Circus Up to Date in Fun
makers of Big Tented Amusement.

Fashions!
And that word is not confined to
dress or to hats or to walking sticks or
ribbons o. frills. It even includes cir
cuses and the clowns therein.
Beg pardon? Yes, clowns is correct.
For there are fashions in clowns lust
as there are fashions in neekties or in
The waistline, or anything else. And
the fashions in clowns have changed q
good deal in the last fifteen or twenty
years.
incidentally, speaking of clowns,
brings forth the fact that the Sells
Floto Circus and Buffalo Bills Original
Wild West is to visit this city Thurs
day, July %, and when it comes, the
genus clown will be present in forty
species. AS to their fashions
Time was when the clown merely
had to be funny. His work was that
Of the impromptu. He followed the
principal riding act around the ring
and made faces, or tumbled on his left
eye as his fancy bade-and the audi
ence liked it.
But that time is gone now. For now
the clown must be a sort of theatri-
cal magnate on small scale. He must
have his set acts, which he and his as
sistants perform for the promotion of
mirth beneath the spreading "white
tops. - Every gesture must be made
at just the right moment everything
must move with the precision of a the
atrieal performance upon a stage when
one cue line brings forth another and
the constant dovetailing of the speeches
and the business builds the play.
And so it is that in the Sells-Sloto
Circus and Buffalo Bill s Original Wild
West there are props and effects by
the wagonload, and all for the use of
the forty clowns employed by the cir
Gus. For the business Of clowning has
changed. adv

W. H. Graebner Declares
Kenosha Jail One of the
Best Kept in the State.
JAIL TOO SMALL FOR COUNTY

w. Fl. Graebner Of the Wisconsin
State Board of Control came to Keno
sha on Saturday to make the semi
annual inspection of the county Jail
I" Well, Mr.. Sheriff, you have one of the
best kept jails in the state' was his
comment after he had completed the
inspection. You get what is common
ly called clean bill of health and I
am glad to see the Kenosha county jail
in such excellent shape" The decision
Of Mr.. Graebner was not reached after
a hasty look in at the front and out of
the back door Of the jail. He went
over every part of it from the basement
to the attic and seemed to find every
thing in keeping with the suggestions
made by the state board.
The only objection raised to the Jail
was that it was too small. 1t is prob
able that at the next session of the
county board some suggestion will be
made to the board providing for the
increasing of the size Of the jail or the
building of new Jail. There have been
lot Of "rush' times at the Jail in
the past few months when the limited
cellroom was entirely inadequate to
meet the demands for caring for prison
ers. The sheriff has been forced to
herd the men together in manner that
is not entirely approved of by the state
officers. The members of the state
he o+o1
ton. Some of the members of the
county board have already begun to
dream dreams of county plant which
will include real court house, a real
county building and real county JAIL
This plan has been considered but it has
not been considered seriously.
The plan that has been suggested in
cluded the erection of splendid stone
building on the present site of the
court house which will offer on the
ground floor accommodation for all of
the county officials and on the upper
floor of the building suitable court
rooms and jury rooms for the use Of
the circuit court and the municipal
court. The old municipal court build
ing is now disreputable and many of
the members of the county board are
adverse to spending any more money
on this old building A Capitalization
Of all the courts Of the county on
single floor of single building is great
ly to be desired and this is the ulti-
mate plan being considered There is
not in the present county building any
where near room enough to accommo-
date the elective officers of the county
and the provision made is entirely in
adequate to the proper handling of the
business of the county. With new
building arrangements could be made to
take care Of all of these offices in a
modern manner. Kenosha county has
shown signs of being progressive
county and it is possible that with the
suggestion coming from the state board
Of control that at an early meeting Of
the county board some plan will be
made to remedy the present conditions.
Until such plan can be made it can
be said that Sheriff Stahl is pleased
that the state board of control believes
that he is doing as well as he can with
what the county has furnished him.

Local Germans Circulate Pc
titions to Stop Sale of
Ammunition Abroad.
WANT HALL FOR ALL GERMANS

Kenosha people are being asked to
join in the nationwide movement to
stop the sale of munitions of war. I'm
der the auspices of the Kenosha Stadt
Verband petitions have been placed in
circulation all over the city asking the
president of the United States to put
an end to the shipment of ammunition
and other munitions of war from this
country to Europe. The petition re-
cites that the best way to secure peace
in Europe is by cutting off the supply
of munitions of war.
The movement was started in Phila-
delphla many weeks ago and German
organizations throughout the country
have taken it up and are urging the
circulation of the petitions. The local
Stadt Verband declared itself unani-
mously in favor of the petition. Keno
sha has profted from the sale of many
sorts of products in the war zones and
it is pretty certain that the petitions
will not find as many signatures in this
city as in some of the other cities.
However, the great mass of the people
OF Kenosha are favorable to peace and
it is expected that many Of these people
will sign the petition. The argument
has been advanced that if this nation
refuses to sell munitions Of war that
the warning nations will have no trou-
bic finding some other nation ready to
sell them and some people hold that the
petitions suggesting an embargo at this
time are i'll advised. Just what power
the president would have to act is not
made plain.
At the same meeting Of the German
organization steps were taken to Sc
cure the erection of a great Coliseum
IN Kenosha to be used as meeting
place for the various German societies.
In recent years these organizations
have grown very rapidly. There have
been organizations among the turner's
and other organizations along athletic
lines an dat the present time there is
no place in the city suitable for meet
ings. A committee has been named to
seek a solution of the problem. This
committee will place petitions in cir
culation among the Germans am others
with view of finding how much stock
can be sold in an association which
will have for it's purpose the building
of a great hall to offer facilities for all
of the organizations. The petitions are
declared to- be in the nature of a
feelero and if an interest is shown
in connection with the proposed plan
the petitions will be pushed with great
vigor later in the year.
The German organizations in Keno
sha have thousands of members and it
is certain that if these men would agree
to give ten dollars each toward the
erection of great German House -
that the fund would go long ways
towards making the plan success. It
is expected that the committee will
make a report back to the organization
within the next month.
