voLIvA STILL TALKING.
Tells the People of Zion City of toe
Cheap Way to Get to
New York.

This is certainly a wonderful age
we re living in. Here's the latest and
perhaps most marvellous invention of
modern times. It's discoverer is none
other than Wilbur Glenn Voliva of
Zion City, successor to DoWie. At the
Zion Tabernacle, Chicago, Voliva
made the startling statement that it
remained for him to discover. a means
of locomotion that beats any railway
engine or aeropiane for speed. Well
let the general public into the secret
while patents are pending, although
it's conditional that if it don't work
blame the astronomers, don It blame us.
Now, for instance, say you want to go
from Chicago to New York, distance
of about one thousand miles, all you
have to do is to go up in the air
piece and wait there till New York
comes around, then drop. The system
is easily figured out. Astronomers
claim that the earth revolves on it's
axis at the rate of one thousand miles
an hour, so if you go up in an aero
plane and hover around for an hour
you will see New York come around,
then drop. But be careful to make the
drop about twenty-five miles west of
New York City, otherwise, with the
enormous speed of the earth, you
might land out in the Atlantic. It's
as simple as A. B. G. If you want to
get to San Francisco, just take a lati-
tude parallel with that city and let
Ter go. You'll reach there if all
well in just about four hours, and the
funny part of it all is, you won
have to travel at all; just hover like
bird and wait your chance.

BELDEN LAST ON BALLOT.
Racine Jurist has Tough Luck in Draw
for Position on Spring
Judicial Ballot.

Judge Belden had a little tough luck
when it came to the draw for places ON
the judicial ballot in his own home
circuit and the formal ballot sent out
from the Office of the secretary Of
state on Monday afternoon shows that
in this district Judge Belden will be
last on the ballot. Walter D. Corri-
gan Of Milwaukee, is first named.
The ballot for the spring election is
going to be long one on account of
the vote for delegates to the various
national conventions. Woodrow Will
son is named as the sole choice of
Democracy of Wisconsin for president
and Robert M. LaFollette is named as
the only Republican candidate. How
ever, the list of delegates shows that
there are four delegates to the Re
publican convention who are running
as "uninstructed delegates" These
men are pledged to no one candidate
for the Office of president. The form
a! notice Of the judicial election will
be published on Thursday.

RIDE AHEAD OF THE STORM.
Kenosha Men on the Way to Mexico
Get Out of Chicago Just After six
O'Clock and Beat the Storm.

The thirty-three Kenosha men are on
their way to Mexico and may be forced
to face Villa bullets, but at that, they
managed to get away from the storm
and reports received from the special
train showed that it rode far ahead of
the storm and it was getting over the
prairies of Illinois when the sleet storm
struck Kenosha. The train left Keno
sha just after four 'clock and the
North Western Railway comp any had
an agreement with the Rock Island
road that it would be out of Chicago
before seven o'clock. The train is be-
ing run on the fastest possible schedule
for train Of the kind and it is ex-
pected to get to Ell Paso in a shorter
time than was required for the first
train load of trucks sent out of Keno
sha.

MANY PROTESTS FILED.
Officials Receive Kicks Against
Activity of Candidates at the
Polls on Tuesday.

Officials of the city and county this
morning received many complaints
against alleged "pernicious political
activity among some of the candi-
dates and their friends at the polls
at the primary election on Tuesday.
No formal action has been taken to
make complaints in court, but it is de-
clared that such complaints may be
made. 1t is asserted that in some of
the wards candidates were doing ac-
tive political work within twenty feet
Of the ballot box and that in some
cases their friends were working even
closer. No effort was made at most of
the polling places to enforce the humid
red feet rule and candidates and their
friends buttonholed voters and talked
to them almost up to the time they
received their ballots from the ballot
clerks. 1t is probable that the com
plants today will result in demand
for the strict enforcement of the cor
rupt practice act at the coming cleo
ton. Kenosha has had little reason
to complain on the actions of the can
didates and their friends in past years
but it is declared that the develop
ments at the primary brought condi-
tons which will demand most careful
investigation. Threats to secure war
rants for the arrest of some of the con-
didates were regarded as primary
jokes" today.

WHERE HONOR IS DUE.

IF there ever was bunch Of election
officials entitled to honorable mention,
it was the force which served in the
first ward at the primary on Tuesday.
These men counted more than eleven
hundred votes, the largest number ever
cast in a single voting precinct, and
finished up the work by a little after
one o'clock. Although this ward had
by far the largest vote in the city it
completed its work of counting two
hours earlier than the count was COM
pleted in the third ward where much
smaller vote was cast. The men at the
first saw that they had real job on
their hands and they just buekled down
to it and got it out of the way.

PRIMARY VOTE FOR MAYOR.

This is the story of the primary
lection on Tuesday and the mayor
will contest with Charles III. Pfennig
for the honor of being the cock Of
the walk in Kenosha for the next TWO
years The two men ran far ahead Of
the other men on the ticket
1t was an unusual primary in many
ways. The mayor had his usual big
vote on the north side of the city and
the delivery of this faithful vote to
him gave him his lead. On the south
side of the city Pfennig had pretty
good lead. No active work had been
done by Pfennig during the campaign
and this accounts for the fact that
there was a small vote in several of
the wards which are expected to come
through with big votes for him later
on The mayor declared that he was
satisfied with the results Of the pri-
mary and Mr.. Pfennig stopped long
enough as he was bucl1ling ON his cam
paign armor this morning to admit
shat he was pleased with the support
given him. Charles e. Gundlach, who
ran third, was decidedly cheerful and
lie declared that every man had to
start some time and he is in training
for the next primary go already.
Michael Yabs, who carried the burden
of Socialism like the good Socialist.
was still hopeful after the votes had
been counted.
The vote for the lead of the ticket
end the real interest was spread all
over the city where hard fights were
being made for ward Offices. In the
chivalrous first ward for instance, two
women candidates were named for
school commissioner after the hottest
primary fight ever known in any ward
in the city. The first was real bat
tie ground of the primary and every
body seemed to be interested in the
outcome there. Joseph W. Tully led
in the aldermanic fight with a vote of
331 to 282 for his opponent, Roberts.
Tn the battle for school commissioner
Mrs. Una Slater White broke away
from the four cornered fight with
leading vote of 344 while Mrs. Mary
Robinson was just little behind her
with 317. In the same ward Joseph
G Newhouse had the biggest vote of
any ward candidate in the city, get
ting a total of 461 for constable.
9 Honest Joe" is undoubtedly as good
as elected.
In the second, third, fourth and fifth
wards the contests were not bitter,
but in the sixth there was real bat
tie. George Fischer, Jr., cantered I'M
der the wire for the aldermanic
nomination with vote of 1874, and
JACOB Rauen, his nearest competitor,
had but So. In the eighth ward John
Wade staged a come back and lead In
the vote for alderman Tn the ninth
ward there was such small vote that
nominations became an empty honor.
The results of the primary for
all Offices, both city and ward, are
as follows:

 For a moment Legar stared round eyed at the apparition confronting him.
 Now, my girl, mean no harm for you here," he tried to argue, as he felt for the door behind him.

 But you're losing your chance you're"
 Legar did not complete that sen tence. Instead, he leaped suddenly to- wards the girl with the firearm, for he had noticed her dress sleeve catch in the screen-door hook This had re- suited in the momentary defection of that ever-menacing revolver barrel. and Legar's long fingers had encom- passed that weapon before she could level it again. With a quick turn or two he had twisted it out of her hand. Then be caught her by the shoulder and swung her fiercely about.
 Now, my girl, I'm going to tell you thing or two,' said the man with the revolver, stopping closer to her in the moonlight. You think I'm an enemy of your fathers. But you're wrong. All am is treasury agent. And I've been wondering if you know how many years it means for a man who gets caught in a twenty thousand-dollar dope-smuggling coup?"
 Legar turned and nodded pregnantly toward the cellar where he knew O'Mara to be.
 You've nothin' on me father!" pro- tested the now terrified girl.
 Nothing beyond the fact, Of course, that he's carrying Kaisow wood away from the Applewaithe factory. And why he's doing that you know as well as 1 dol"

She knows you belong to the factory settlement here, and she won't be suspicious. You do your work right, and you'll have her here tomorrow night"
 The youthful eyes which life had al- ready left hard studied the sinister figure in the moonlight.
 And when l get her out to that sluiceroom. whatre you goin' to do with herr"
 The one-armed man laughed quietly
 That's something strictly between her and me-" was his calmly enunci ated reply as he stepped slowly back and disappeared through the shrub bery beside the O'Mara cottage.
 The girl stood staring after him without moving. So intently did she look after that vanishing figure that she did not observe a second figure even more mysterious than the first as it slipped out of the shadows and stepped quietly up beside her.
 She turned with start and stared up at the stranger confronting her And it did not add to her peace Of mind to discover that this stranger wore a mask over his face.
 What d. you want here?" was her brusque demand.
 I'm looking for a young girl who happens to be in trouble" was the quietly spoken reply.
 Then I guess you'll have to keep On travelin'," announced Peggy as she swung up the broken steps with as- sumed nonchalance, strode in through the door. and shut it after her. She stood there for several minutes before venturing to move. Then she silently reopened the door and stared out. tC make sure that her visitor had taken his departure. Instead of catching sight of the masked figure. however, she was a little startled to see the ore-aTmed man push his way in through the bushes and once more creep to the door where she stood.
 What did that man want?' quick ly demanded the newcomer.
 "I didn't wait to ask him. was the girls retort.
 No. guess this isn't a time for waiting" ruminated the other aloud And for that reason we'll have to speed up that bargain Of ours, and put the thing through tonight"
 Tonight" echoed the girl in a whis- per of alarm.
