4 ROTTEN SITUATION
ABOUT POST HERO-AW
Denver Record Stockmen:-


Al,ho the Colorado Stockgrowers As
sociation and others who are opposing
the Denver Posts herd-law proposition
have plenty of evidence of fraud and
double dealing to prevent it from going
on the ballot if they could get it before
the courts, the initiative and referen-
dunn law is so constructed and the pres
sure of the interests behind it SO strong
as to make it improbable that anything
can be done along this line. II the Sec
retsry Of State accepts the petitions and
files them, and if they show on the
face of them sufficient number Of
names, the courts hold that they have
no authority to go behind the face Of
the petitions no matter how great the
fraud. This is radically wrong and the
initiative and referendum should be i'm
mediately amended.
The present secretary of state, &C.
cording to statements of officers of the
Stockgrowers' Association, waited in
his Office until 1890 o'clock on the night
of September 7th to receive the Post
herd-law petitions, Notwithstanding that
September 9Th was the last day by law
for the filing of such petitions. Over
10000 names were filed on the 7th.
The Stockgrowers Association assert
that check of the petitions shows
that these names were not only filed on
the 7th, or after the time allowed by
law for such fling had passed, but that
the dates following the signatures
show that they were signed on Sept. z,
but were sworn to on Sept, 7th, all after
the legal date. These names were not
only accepted by Mr.. Rsmer. but his
Office was held open by him personally
until 1890 to allow for their filing, say
the officers Of the Colorado Stock
growers Association.
Other evidence is also in the hands of
the Stockgrowers' Association, showing
that Of more than fifty persons who
circulated petitions in Denver on Sept.
9Th and 7th. detectives have been able
to locate but one, the others seemingly
having fled the city. The one man To-
Gated stated that he did not circulate
the petition himself but had his little
girl do it for him. OF more than fifty
Of these circulators not one appears as
registered voter. while hundreds of the
names signed on the petitions are not
on the lists as registered voters in the
precincts from which they signed.
Much other evidence of fraud is in the
hands Of the Colorado Stockgrowers'
Association. and yet 1t appears like the
measure must 60 on the ballots because
Of the peculiar feature of the law, which
will not allow Of going behind the deci-
! sion Of the Secretary Of State, and be-
cause Of political pressure which is
brought to- bear by the influences be-
hind it.
Now. Mr.. Stockman, il the facts re-
lated by the Record-Stockman are cor
rect. are you going to vote for John
Ramsr to succeed himself - Secretary
Of Stats. or for James r. Noland. tn
Democratic candidate.

STREET CAR CAUSE CT DUST
Scientific Investigation Has Proved
This Fact Seemingly Beyond
All Possibility of Dispute.

Where does the dust come from?
This question, which careful house
keepers ask themselves every day, has
been scientifically answered by inves-
tigators of Harvard university.
They made measurements of the
amount Of dust in the air at 90 feet
above the street in different places.
At the junction of streets, where
the least dust was accumulated, the
amount in the air would equal daily
deposit of 91a pounds to the acre. In
another section as much as 80 pounds
per acre would be the daily deposit.
It was found that the air in paved
streets was, on the whole, somewhat
dustier than that Of unpaved streets,
but the bad unpaved street was worse
than the worst of the paved streets,
so far as the amount of dust in the
air was considered, by % per cent.
The effect of street car traffic was
also considered by these Investigators.
It was estimated that streets with car
lines have one-third more dust than
streets without them, and the best of
such streets are generally worse than
the worst of the free streets. The ex-
ira amount of dust in the air Of
streets having street car lines consist
ed largely of fine particles of iron;
the amount of sandlike dust, or silica,
being about the same in both types of
streets.

GET VINCENT PETITIONS.
Member Of the Assembly to be Asked
to Seek Reelection at the Com
ing County Primary

While d. J. Vincent of Wilmot, who
represented Kenosha county in the as
sembly during the past two years, has
not announced his candidacy for re
election, his friends are very active in
his behalf and petitions for his nomina-
ton have been taken out and the mat
ter will be put up to him at confer
ence later in the week. The friends of
Mr. Vincent believe that he is the
strongest candidate that the Republi-
cans could offer for the office and with
the splendid record that he made at
Madison as his strongest endorsement
for Office they will seek to have him
seek reelection Mr.. Vincent has told
his friends that he would like to retire
but as there is unanimous feeling in
favor of his reelection throughout the
county it is thought that he will re-
consider and make the race. There
was new conner to the list of Repub-
lican candidates today when Carl
Starr took out petitions as a Republi-
can candidate for the Office of register
of deeds and he will try conclusions
with Perkins G. Torrey at the pri-
maries. No other candidates have tax
en- out petitions.

MANY SECRETARIES WANT JOBS.
Directors of the Chamber of Commerce
Have no Lack of Material from
Which to Pick Executive.

The fame of Kenosha as city that
does things has evidently been spread
broadcast and the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce have discovered
that there are lot of men scattered
all over the country who are anxious
to be the first secretary of Kenosha s
new commercial organization. No less
than half dozen applications have
come in during the past two or three
days and many of the men are now
holding similar positions in much larger
cities in different parts of the country.
The directors have not as vet taken
any action to select a secretary and
all of the applications will be investi-
gated. No man is going to be hired
for this important position until the
directors get chance to look him over
and until they are satisfied that he is
the right man for the place. 1t will
probably be two or three weeks before
the directors will be ready to make any
announcement in regard to the selec-
ton of a secretary.

ure, but against this was five correct
measures and two in which more than
was purchased was given.
The report Of the city sealer shows
that but one prosecution for short
weights had been deemed necessary
during the twelve months covered by
the report.
His report of the test Of scales and
measures showed vastly improved con-
ditions. At that sixty-fve measures
were condemned during the year and
ordered out Of service. Fifty -nine of
this number were liquid measures and
six scales were found faulty and con
demned. Many scales were found in
need of adjustment but the great ma
iority of them were given the sane
ton of the sealer.
Every single linear measure used in
the city was found to be correct.
Seventy-seven counter scales were seal
ed as correct and two adjusted, eighty
four computing scales were found cor
rect, ten adjusted and fifteen con-
demned for repairs. Only one of The
dozen wagon scales in the city was
found to be defective. Fifty-three
out of the fifty six platform scales
were found to comply with the law.
The automatic pumps were found for
the most part to be giving fair measure
but seven Of them were ordered adjust
ed.

ELEPHANTS CAUSE ACCIDENT.

ages to His Wagon Tuesday.
Charles Streifing, well known farmer
of the town of Somers, drove into town
on Tuesday morning with a load of
chickens. He tied the horse at the Joe
Hampel meat market on West Grand
avenue and then went into the market
taking the chickens with him. The
horse was of a rural nature and ele-
plants were not listed on his visiting
list. When the troupe of circus mon
sters came down Grand avenue toward
the show grounds old Dobbin from the
Somers farm could not restrain himself
and he just naturally started to run.
He distributed portions of the ruined
vehicle and it's contents all along the
west end of Grand avenue, Streifing
appealed to the district attorney and
the. circus managers hurried to explain
that they were not seeking any trou-
BILE and that they were willing to pay
any reasonable amount for the ele-
phantine education of the horse. They
settled with a fifty dollar bank note
and streifing appeared to be entirely
satisfied. The horse which was cap
tured on the west limits of the city,
was uninjured in his frantic rush from
the big animals.

declared that Gotch had rested easily

PARoLLED-wENT WITH CIRCUS
Boy from st. Charles, Illinois, State
School, is Arrested in Kenosha
on Tuesday Night.

William Rotcher, seventeen years of
age and parolled from the Illinois
State Farm for Boys at st. Charles,
H., is at the city lookup. He had been
parolled from the institution to a farm
er living near Batavia, H., and when
the Sells-Floto Circus showed in Auro-
ra several days ago he was among the
number attending the performance. He
could not repress his desire to keep on
carrying water to the elephants and he
followed the show to Kenosha. Police
Officer Breidt found him at the show
grounds Tuesday night and placed him
under arrest. Officials of the st.
Charles Institution notified the chief
of police that they would come to Ke-
nosha for the boy today.

few ERRORS FOUND IN SCALES
Sixty-five Measures Condemned and
Put Out of Service and Large Num-
Der Of Scales Adjusted But One
Prosecution Ordered in a Year.

Kenosha merchants are cheating
themselves. This fact was shown con-
clusively in the report Of the city
sealer of weights and measures which
has just been filed with the city clerk.
1t shows that in a majority Of the
try outs made by the official dur,
ing the past year it was found that
when measures were in error that they
erred in favor of the customer rather
than against him. It can be said that
pretty nearly half of the cases report
ed showed correct amount given
when purchases were made.
The grocers of the city were the
worst offenders against themselves. 1t
was shown that out of one hundred and
seventy-two try-outs in making pur-
chases at grocery stores sixty-seven
showed that correct weights and meas
ures were given. In ninety eight cases
the grocer gave more than had been
purchased and in seven cases a short
weight was discovered. The butter
men gave forty correct weights and in
ninety-fve cases they gave over weight.
Vegetable dealers had one case of short
weight, they had sixteen correct
weights and twenty where the pur-
chase showed an over weight. The
| meat men came little nearer break
ing even They had thirty-five cases
of correct weight and twenty-four of
over weight. No short weight was re-
ported In dry, goods stores the two
tests showed that the dealer had given
more than the amount purchased and
evidently the sealer decided that more
tests were unnecessary. Even the coal
men were all on the right side and of
ninety try-outs eight were found to
have given bigger load Of coal than
had been charged for on the bill. The
fruit man had one charge Of short meas

LICENSES MAY BE REVOKED
Drivers Are Divided by Zeal for Busik
ness and Declare They Will Ask That.
the Hours Named in Permits Be
Changed - No Arrests Now.

Drivers of the jitney buses in Ke-
nosha are seeking peace and peace
without prosecution and leaders in the
business have appealed to the district
attorney to withhold warrants for ar
rests for violations of the law until
such time as a conference has been
held at which efforts will be made to
settle all the differences. The jitney
drivers have admitted to the district
attorney that probably all of them
would be liable to fines if the law as
interpreted to the county official by
the attorney general is enforced to the
letter. They hold, however, that
changes can be made in permits which
will make it possible for the drivers to-
comply.
FAll Of the drivers want to get the
cream of the business" said the dis
trict attorney this morning, fand for
this reason they have been working at
hours not named in the permits. II
have grave doubt as to whether theI
liability on bonds could be maintained
when it was shown that the men were
driving the automobiles at hours other
than those named in the permits. The
permits are issued on the fling of the
bonds and the bonds cover the Kermit
hoG8. 1t looks now as il the oay solu-
tion of the problem would be to take
away the licenses of all drivers of jit-
ney buses who do not comply with the
law Some of the men have asked for
time to readjust the business and I
have consented to have conference
with the council committee on railways
and transportation and the jitney men
and perhaps this conference will result
in an ordinance being drawn which
will provide proper regulation and
which will make possible the safe
guarding of the lives of the people who
use this form Of carriers. The jitneyi
men have been given to understands
that they must obey the state law re-
CARELESS of action by the city on a.
special ordinance and this order
must be observed pending any action
taken by the city,
The district attorney had urged the
men to get together and arrange for al
proper division of the business in the
city, but there seems to be no chance
for an agreement among the jitney driv-l
ers. All of them seem to be anxious
to have their cars in operation at GER
tain hours of the day when there is
real business and they want to keep3
the cars, in the garages for the remain
der of the day. There is an organiza-l
ton among the jitney men of the city,
but this organization does not seem to-

and they are said to be able to furnish

information on which to base prosecu~|

The district attorney has let it bei

force the jitneys out Of business, but
that he wants them to comply with the
state law and will insist upon this.
