line The Evanston Inder of March /, says
that last Tuesday (Feb. 26l, President
Easton, in company with C. E. Crafts and
c. G. Nourse, attorney and chief engineer
of the new road, arrived in Evanston and
spent the greater part of the day in look
ing for an eligible site for depot. On
Wednesday, Attorney Crafts announced
that they had determined to come in on the
east side of the Chicago & Northwestern
tracks, and that an approximate estimate
had been made of the cost of the property
to be acquired lying between Lincoln ave-
nue., South Evanston, and Greenwood
street, Evanston, just north Of which street
the Evanston depot will be placed.
AS to the ultimate destination of the line
north, the Inde1 is unable to make any
definite statement. Speculation. it says, is
INDUCED in almost as freely as was the
question, q Where and how will the new
road reach Evanston ?" There seems to be
no doubt that the road will be put through TO
Waukegan or Racine, and from here it will
probably diverge, one line reaching to Lake
Geneva and the other to the north; wheth-
er to connect with the Northern Pacific, or
as an independent line, is still question

A FEW FACTS.

By SECRETARY LEWIS OF THE Y. M. C. A.
In Wisconsin there are CLOS public
and private schools. Last year there were
graduated from the Normal schools, State
university, all her colleges and universities,
and business colleges, less than 400 young
men. From her 5000 saloons there were
graduated into the state. prison, jails and
houses of correction 6,974 males go Of
whom were young men. In one city in Wis
consn, in which there are $500 young men,
not more than $50 are members Of American
Evangelical churches, 80 only were added
last year 1859 attend church regularly and
604 more occasionally. There are not more
than 20 young men in her high school and
academies and college, while SO were count
ed to enter one of her more than 100 saloons
in single half hour, and more than 1000
were convicted in her criminal courts last
year. -" Is the young man safe %

A ripple of excitement was created in thi
city last week by the reported arrest Of e. P.
Robertson, who has been selling pianos and
organs in this city and neighborhood the
past nine months for W. W.Kimball & Co,
of Chicsgo, Ill. 1t appears Mr.. Robertson
has been wearing watch lately which it
| was suspected belonged to Mr.. Wilson, who
was murdered at Winnetka last month, but
which be says he got from his brother
| in Chicago. He went to Chicago and was
charged with being in Winnetka on the night
of the murder, and as he gave an account Of
his movements that night hi. was discharged
from custody. He said he left Kenosha for
Chicago on the 5:24 train in company with
John La Berge and his wife; that he got off
ct Eaukegan, and, getting an acquaintance
named James McLaren to go with him, they
went TO the city that they did come bust
ness at Diamond & Sons place on South
Clark street, ate supper in restaurant
opposite the Wells street depot and return
ed on the 9:05; that McLaren got of at
Highwood and he stayed at ReckenBwald's in
Highwood all night. He accuses Detective
Halliday Of being at the bottom of his arrest,
and says he tried to get him into trouble
twice before. The watch does not answer
the description of MIR. Wilson's watch.
One Of the largest advertisers in Chicago
says: There can be no better key to the
prosperity and enterprise Of any community
than the appearance of the newspapers pub
lished in its midst the very advertisements
appearing in them tell the story of its pros
perity or betray the lack of it," We think
he would soon come to the conclusion that
Kenosla was dead town if he judged its
prosperity by the few home advertisements
in its newspapers. A few years ago Keno
sha was good advertising town, and it is
claimed by our merchants that business was |
much better then than it is now But some of
our merchants thought that money pent for |
Advertising was money thrown way and |
stopped advertising. The consequence Is,
the merchants in neighboring towns and
cities who advertise largely have drawn
away their trade, and now these merchants
complain of dull times. Take walk along |
Main street any hour of the day or evening,
and you will gee that the merchants who are
patronized most are those who advertise the
most. A man who will not offer induce
ments to buyers nowadays need not expect
10 get trade, and the best means of reaching
The public is through the columns of your
town papers.
