TOOK THE WRONG HORSE.
A Pine Joke Young Man Plays on
Himself

Pine Joke Young Man Plays on
Himself
A certain young man here in Keno
sha played fine joke ON himself last
Saturday evening. We won't give his
name for he has given his sacred prom
ise that it shall not occur again, but
we will tell the story.
He has girl who lives out in the
country, and Saturday evening he
wanted to see her. so he hired Il rig at
Kupfer's barn todriye out to her home.
He did not take the rig from the barn,
but asked to haze it hitched in front of
his boarding place. He went about
some little fixin5sin getting ready to
see the girl, with his mind probably
altogether on her, when the boy drove
the rig up. s. Smiling no place to hitch
the horse WhGc H. got to the boarding
place, he took him to IL point on the
west side Of St. Matthew's church and
tied him there. In the meantime
Charles Cooper drove up to his
brothers. home, in the old Nicol house
on Park avenue, and hitched his horse.
When our certain young man got
ready to 60 into the country, he stepped
out of his boarding house and saw Mr..
C0oper's horse and buggy and not the
other one. He went to this rig, threw
his overcoat onto the seat, ran one
more short errand, came back, mount
ed the seat and drove off.
When Charles Cooper came out of
his brothers house his rig was gone.
He naturally supposed someone had
stolen it. He notified the police I'd
began telegraphing north and south.
He went to considerable expense.
Finally it was discovered that the
Kupfer rig was still back of the church.
1t then dawned upon somebody that
possibly a mistake had been made and
this rig was taken and driven to the
girls home. There the Cooper rig was
found
1t was a sort of double joke cone on
Mr.. Cooper and on the certain young
man The certain young man has
agreed to make all amends necessary
to call the matter off.

and worthless patents have been
granted? Tt means also that American
inventive genius, so called, has been
over stimulated and lured by offers of
prizes, medals, riches, and W fictitious
tales about the value Of patents. Very
few patents and still fewer inventions
bring the owner wealth. They more
frequently ruin than enrich.
Our government is very remiss that
it does not lay its powerful hand on
these schemers and stand between
rapacious swlndlers and the ignorant
citizen. There is hope that the pres
ent administration will make a record
in suppressing frauds. A good start
has been made iu 7pIacing the Deal1
Brokerage lottery on the fraud list.
The appointment OF Ben Butterworth
as head of the patent Office is under
stood by many to mean th"C patent
lotteries, prizes and so called sale
agencies must 90.
Inventors and owners OF patents who
have been swindled by patent sharks Of
any kind send their complaints direct
to the postmaster general at Washing
ton. He will have the case Investigate
ed, and, if it can be proved, the swim
dler will be placed on the fraud list.
To shout " stop thief" is a duty that
every man owes to his country and to
his kind.

LIKE HYPNOTIsM.
Habits THAT Appear Almost Hypnotic.

The tenacity with which some habits
stick to people, or people stick to the
habits, is very remarkable, particularly
the tobacco and coffee habit.
People act almost as if they we're in
reality under hypnotic spell. They
promise themselves and friends time
and again that they will leave off, when
they find health forsaking them, but
they make one excuse or another and
keep on the dreary way as if guided by
an unseen spirit Of evil.
Physicians realize the uselessness Of
treating a patient for any of the multi
tude Of nervous diseases so long as the
poisonous alkalods of tobacco and cot
fee are being taken into the system,
even in minute doses.
1t is a simple matter to break the
coffee spell if the food drink, Postum,
the health coffee made by the Postum
Cereal Co., linn, of Battle Creek,
Mich, is used in its place. This is a
fac -simile of fine Mocha coffee in looks
when brewed, ami changes to the rich
golden brown of old Java when cream
is added. Being made wholly Of
grains intended by the Creator for
mans subsistence, it makes red blood
quickly and is fattening and nourish-
ing. The muddy complexion disap-
pears and in its place comes the clear
skin of health with rich blood coursing
back Of it. Many people are sick and
do not know that it is the insdious
poison of coffee that prostrates stom-
ach and liver and causes it. They
laugh at first, but a trial of a week
without coffee and using the food drink
Postum, makes one wake up to d great
big live fact.
The children can sip from papa's or
mammals coffee cup, if it happens to
contain Postum and their little bodies
will grow round and fat under the
nourishment of the pure grains, but it
/ is a heartless proceeding to feed the
tender bodies on coffee, as everyone
knows the puny, sickly looks of coffee
drinking children.
! Let people adopt healthful food and
drink and throw physic to the dogs.

The Attorney Gives Evidence of an IN

DaIduC6d E4lAQ
Racine, Wis, April rs Henry Wcjs-
mann, the Union Grove attorney, who
disappeared from his home March p,
and who was supposed to have been
murdered at Chicago, was found at the
Chicago & North Western depot this
afternoon by Policemen Harms and
Anderson. He came in on the 1;05
train from the south and his personal
appearance was so changed that he
could not at once be identified To all
questions he was silent except to say
he had been south. 1t was learned he
was put on the train at Chicago by
policeman. His clothes were dirty and
worn and he had four weeks beard
on his face. To all appearances and
from his actions it is believed he is in
sane. The police took him to a hos
pital, and his brother Of KenOsha
county has been notified.

The Mayor Did NOT Intend Nothing Should
be Taken to the Lake Front


The lake front is to remain dump
for the present, but under some re-
strictions. SO said Mayor Culley this
morning. 1t seems that this paper
misunderstood him eomewhat in his
declaration on the point last Saturday.
He did not intend to say that nothing
was to be dumped on the lake front,
but only that rubbish taken there must
be leveled down next to the break
water. 1t must be taken just as far
out as possible and dumped. Ashes
must be leveled off and decaying gar
bage must be covered up 50 that it will
not be left open to breed disease i'll the
neighborho ID. Fhe object in leveling
things down and getting as near the
breakwater as possible is the fact that
the dirt taken from Prairie avenue be-
fore il is paved is TO be taken there
and used to help fill up. The time is
coming when that lake front will be
leveled up and made beautiful park.
Every effort of whatever nature look
ing toward that result should be en-
couraged.
