Raid nv Horse Thieves.

Sheriff Mant returned to Sheboygan
after a three days unsuccessful search
through Sheboygan, Washington, Ozau-
kee and Milwaukee counties for the horse
thieves who made their triumphant march
through Sheboygan County, taking half
q dozen head of the best stock to be found,
with wagons, buggies and harness. Tie
sheriff had slight clue to start on, but
soon lost sight of that. Charles Refs was
the first to suffer, though the animal re-
turned home the next night Then Hen
ry Mailman, who lived adjoining REFS,
lost buggy and set of harness. The
next night Joseph Osterhins' barn was
entered and a handsome 4-year-old mare,
blooded stock, worth 500, was taken.
The same night a Clyde horse, the best
in the barn, was taken from Madeus
Trowbridge, two miles west of Sheboygan
Falls Richard Mueller, living mile
from the Falls, lost, the same night, har-
ness, blankets and buggy and sorrel
horse. The thieves were traced south
through Washington County, where Il
couple of horses were taken. 1t has been
clearly proven that they did their travel
ing by night, hiding in the timber by day
time. They are bold and experienced.

A THOUSAND A DAY
Is the Rate at Which Inn m grants Are
Coming Into This Country.

Is the Rate at Which I'm IN grants Are
Coming Into This Country.
Present immigration to the United
States. amounts to nearly 1000 day. In
the last fiscal year the total number of
immigrants was 343, 900 and the rate ut
which Immigration is increasing makes
likely total for this fiscal year Of about
365 900, or 1000 day, though, of course,
immigration is larger in summer than in
winter, and, varies according to the condi-
tons Of the times and climate.
The general impression is that the great
bulk of immigrants to the United States
find homes Gin the great West" notably
those from England, Wales, Germany and
the Scandinavian countries. The con-
trary is shown, however, by recent figures
to De the case.
The States into which immigrants go by
preference are those on the Atlantic sea-
board. Of $4,000 immigrants who land
ed in this country during the last fiscal
year covered by the treasury report 127,-
900 meant to remain in, New York State.
Some 81 900 others had Pennsylvania for
their destination, and $4,000 Massachu-
sets; so that these three States absorbed
about two-thirds of the whole immigra-
ton to the United States. Minnesota,
long a fayortc home among the Scandi-
navan and German farmers arriving in
the United States, got less than half as
many as went to Connecticut. For North
Dakota the number of immigrants was
only 1850; for South Dakota, 613; for Ne
braska, 1913; for Kansas, $50; for Mon
tana, 900; for Wyoming, 226; for Utah,
2OG, and for Idaho, 11S.
On the other hand nearly $500 immi-
grants found homes in Maryland, State
which has not been in previous years re-
garded as offering many inducements to
immigrants. Indiana got 1,944 immi-.
grants, and Missouri 2,4S5. Kentucky
attracted only $50, and North Carolina
only 81 Immigrants West Virginia alb
sorbed 437, but the number that found
homes in Florida was surprisingly large,
$50. The explanation of this increase
is to be found in the fact that consequent
upon the hostilities in Cuba, there was
an immigration of more than 5000 Gu
bans from that country to the United
States last year and large number Of
them found homes in Florida. A consid-
cradle number of Cubans, too, went to
Louisiana, the foreign immigration into
which was 1916. The immigration into
Mississippi was So.
Among the States of the West into
which there was considerable movement
of foreigners last year was Illinois, which
got. % 900. Nearly 5000 immigrants,
many of them Italians settled in Califor-
MIA, and the population of Colorado in
creased. 1900 by immigration. In only
one State of the Union did the number
of female immigrants arriving exceed the
number of male immigrants. That was
New Hampshire. Only GOO immigrants
went to Arkansas and 3S to Oklahoma.

removal of the headquarters to New York,

brance of his wife, the late Lucy Stone,

frage, declaring that not much progress

of work for committees, recommending

recommended that work should be pushed

Iterized the lavishly,conceived and often
crudely and uncomfortdbly executed in
laugural ceremonies of the past. The ex-
lecutive committee in charge of the lnau-
lgural ceremonies of 1897 is composed OF
amen who thoroughly grasp the difficulties
&of the situation that confronts them and
8 who are endeavoring to cope with them IN
IA manner that will make the inauguration
bf Mr. Mckinley the grandest and at the
same time the most perfect from the
standpoint of good sense and good taste
that has ever been witnessed in this coun-
hry. At the head of this committee is
Charles J. Bell.
Gen. Horace Porter, of New York, will
be the grand marshal of the parade. lie
as perhaps the most successful organizer
of military parades in the country, the
batest example of his genius in this direc-
tion being his management Of the great
Sound money parade in New York. On
this occasion he succeeded in marching
A25, 900 men over the entire route, accord
Ding to arrangements, the rear files reach
Ding the end of the route only, seven min
utes behind schedule time. Gen. Porter
has the able assistance of Col. Corbin,
who had general charge of the ceremonies
ION the occasion of the inauguration OF
president Garfield and was adjutant gen
eral of the last two inaugural parades.
At Gen. Porter's suggestion it has been
Needed to condense the exercises at the
capitol as much as possible, and the pa
rade will start at once on the conclusion
of the Inauguration ceremony proper, and
will proceed Immediately to the end of the
route, the usual interruption to allow the
'outgoing and incoming Presidents to
bunch together being avoided. The pa
rade will be dismissed this year at Wash
kngton circle, instead of the White House,
ms formerly, and Gen. Porter expects that
hhe procession will be able to pass at the
rate of 10000 an hour. Twenty-four
files of foot will march in close column,
and there will be no change in formation

He Built Vessels that Sank.

A. p. Lyman, the most prominent citi-
zen in Sheboygan, is in dangerous con-
dition from an attack of the grip. Satur-
day was his eighteth birthday, and a
number of the old settlers called upon
him. Mr.. Lyman came to Sheboygan
County in 1916 and opened store in She
boygan Falls, moving to Sheboygan the
next year. He built number of vessels
to sail the lakes, and while they were q
source of great revenue they each and
all eventually went to the bottom, burying
fortunes. innumcrable. He built the
Morning Star, which on its first trip,
heavily laden with wheat, went to the bot
TOM He built the Sea North, the Mont
tor, the Express, the Black Hawk, the
Magnolia, the Lew Highly, the Homer
and the Cortland, the latter, loaded with
iron, colliding with one of the Wards
steamers from Detroit. On the latter
were over 200 passengers and nearly all
on board were lost. The Cortland sank
also. He also engaged in railroad build
ing, being largely interested in construct
ing the Northwestern lines.

The Cold Wave.

Saturday night there came sweeping
down from the Northwest the most bitter
~ cold blast ever recorded by the weather
bureau. In sections of Illinois, Iowa, In
diana, Michigan and Wisconsin the mer-
curry dropped 60 degrees within twelve
hours. Chicago experienced tempera-
ture 20 degrees below zero. In the coun-
try districts and villages, where the peo-
pie had not much to do except get in
shelter and keep warm, there was not
much of suffering. But in all large cities,
where there is always an element of inn
poverished people, the suffering was in
tense Police stations, churches, public
buildings and depots were besieged by
miserable beings who were not only per-
fishing from cold, but starving. In Chi
cago the Mayor issued a proclamation,
calling upon all who were able, to give
relief. The usual avenues through which
aid is extended were overworked. 1t is
estimated that 100000 people were aided.
Many of them had never before been COM
PEELED to ask help. And thousands more
who were in dire need were prevented by
pride from making an appeal.
