Walton is Insane.

Drs. Saunders, Windesheim and
Andre completed their examination of
Edward Walton on Friday evening
and the result was that they declare
the man undoubtedly insane. The
officers feared that Walton was sham
ming insanity in order to get out of
being brought to trial on a charge Of
burglary, on which he was arrested,
and on this account the doctors gave
the patient very rigid examination.
An order will be obtained today and
the prisoner will be sent to the asylum
at Oshkosh for treatment. According
to law, if the man RECEIVERS he must be
brought back to this city to answer to
the charges against him, but it is
hardly thought that the charges will
be urged against him. The doctors
say that he is in very pitiable condi-
ton. The cause of the insanity is said
to be dissipation and cigarette
smoking.

One of these, a boy named Eddie, be
bound out to Hunter last February,
and he has seen little about the boy
until few days ago when he was
brought home in horrible condition.
He vas black and blue all over the
body, which the parent claims is the
result of whippings which he received
from Hunter and his wife. The little
fellow claims that he was forced to
work in the cold with insufficient
clothing, and that when his feet
had been frozen until be was
unable to walk The people for
whom he was working refused to pro-
cure medical attention for him, but
beat him and burned him with a hot
poker because he refused TO work.
The story Of the boys suffering finally
reached the ears Of the neighbors and
they went to the house and took the
boy away and returned him to his

Case Adjourned.

Monday afternoon William Erick,
conductor of the NJ, R. & K. electric
road, was up before Justice Morey,
on charge of assaulting Charles Cor
don, peddler. The case was adj
journed until Tuesday afternoon at 4
o'clock. It will be remembered that
Gordon boarded a car for Kenosha and
with his bundles occupied three seats,
and the conductor demanded an addi-
tional fare and caught hold of the ped
dler to frighten him and he paid the
extra amount. The warrant or COM
plant was signed by Mr.. Gordon in
Hebrew writing, something never seen,
before in the history of Racine Justice
courts. The writing resembles short
hand more than any thing else. = Racine

HOW TO SUCCEED.
Good Advice From Two Men Well Known
in Kenosha.

s9@ IN hGUOSQA.
In last Sundays Milwaukee Sentinel
there appeared series of articles to
young men on the subject of How to
Succeed
Ex-Atty. Gen. James T.. O1Connor
says: " No young man should take up
an occupation except such as he is
qualified for by disposition, education
and tastes. Having made the selee-
ton, there will be two essentials to
success, untiring industry and unques-
tionable integrity. He should so live
that he will fear no opposition. DR..
John Bascom, for so many years at the
head of the State university, used to
say that man whose private and
home life was above reproach was a
hard man to meet in the contests of
life.
Charles Quarles says: Persistency,
sobriety and subordination of self, that
is, constant recognition of the fact that
his success or advancement is second
airy. and incidental merely to careful
and conscientious accomplishment of
his work"

In his recent visit TO this city Hi.

ed 1t in this way: Belding is already
enjoying all that prosperity predicted
by the most enthusiastic advocate Of
the election Of Mckinley. With a
population of $500, Belding has eight
factories in operation, all but one on
full time, and employing over 1000
people. The Belding- Hall Manufac-
turing company makes refrigerators
and folding tables. There are two
silk factories, Belding Bros. 81 Co.,
and Richardson Silk Co., the Ballou
Basket Company, the Welch Casket
Company and the Huelster Paper BCX
company. The Belding Shoe Com
pany manufactures boys and mems
shoes. But few years ago the land
upon which Belding stands was an un-
broken farm. a part OF the town
stands upon the old Belding home
stead from which, in 1856, the Bedding
Bros. started out i'm life as peddlers of
silks, Their stocks were at first fur
nished by an elder brother in the east,
and carried in packs. From this humble
beginning they grew to be, in 1891, one
OF the largest silk manufactures in the
world, with large factories in several
different points both in the east and
west.

NORTH SIDE FIRE.

Escapes From the Flames.

Escapes From the Flames.
Shortly after midnight Sunday an
alarm Of fire was turned in and our
citizens were routed out from sound
slumber TO find flames issuing from the
residence of w. G.. Hubble on Bridge
street, North Side. II had good
start before discovery and the house
and much of the contents were reduced
to smoke and ashes 1t caught from a
defective chimney and when Mr. Hub
bell discovered it flames were coming
into his room. He quickly aroused his
family who were all soundly sleeping
and it was found that nothing could be
saved upstairs where the girls and his
son slept.
Hattie and Della escaped in their
night robes, taking what few things
they could carry in their hands ano
made their way across the street to
Joe Katzs without shoes or stockings.
Mr.. Katz and Nevin Lloyd were about
the irst to get there and with the help
OF others who soon came, succeeded In
saving some things, among them being
the piano.
The fire company were on hand but
the pressure OF water was not sufficient
TO throw a stream on TO the building.
They succeeded, however, in keeping
the flames from the adjoining houses.
The girls lost all their clothing and
many other articles of value, All OF
Minnie's things, except her piano, is
gone. The house was a good one
worth 800, insured for 81, 100, and
the contents for $500, in companies
renrcsented by Mr.. Wagner.

A man named Joseph S. Zukoskie
has been held to the grand jury in de-
fault OF 81, 500 bail and is now in Jail
in Grand Rapids. Zukoskie has re-
sided at Trufant, Moutcalm county, a
number of years, where it is claimed
he has practiced medicine, and the
crime for which he was arrested was
representing himself to be brigadier
general by the name of Samuel K.
Zook, who was wounded at the battle
OF Gettysburg. Zukoskie applied for
pension under the name of Zo0k, and
that is why he is now in trouble.
The record of Zook was looked up,
and it was found that he died OF the
wound received at Gettysburg, and
would have been about seventy-two
years of age now had he not died.
Zukoskie claims to be fifty-six years Of
age, but is believed to be several years
younger than that. The warrant was
issued by U. 5. Commissioner John G.
McQuewan, of Grand Rapids, and Zu-
koskie was brought before U. S. Com
