How the Dingley Bill will Affect Home
Industries.


That the Dingey bill, when passed by
congress, will encourage American indus.
tries and bring large amount of capital
from foreign countries to be invested in
manufacturing in this country, is already
apparent.
The New York World, paper bitterly
opposed not only to the Dingley bill but to
protective policy, in its issue of May 8
made the following statement:
1t is announced that large German man
ufacturing company has purchased a tract
of 600 acres on the line of the AmbOy divis.
ion of the Pennsylvania railroad, near Spots
wood, n. j., ten miles from New Bruins
wick. On this tract will be founded town.
The company Is to erect manufactures
which will employ about 1000 hands. The
name of the firm is withheld by its repre-.
sentatives. who state that the plant is to be
erected in this country to escape the tariff
duties, which would make their foreign
goods unstable in this country. Work will
be started within two or three weeks.
Undoubtedly there are many manufacture
.ers In Europe who have been sending large
amounts of manufactured products to this
country for sale, and by having cheaper
labor and cheaper machinery than we have
they are able to make their goods, send
them here and sell them at living profit, at
such prices as the American manufacturers
cannot produce them at. An addition of Is
or 20 per cent to the tariff duties would de-
stroy their profit, and hence it will be cheap
er for them to come over here, build facto-
ries and make their goods than it would be
to have to pay our protective tariff on goods
made abroad.
But what will such proceedings do for the
American people? This one factory re-
ferred to, If built, will give employment to
1900 hands who will, on an average, earn
about 81 day each, making $4,000 a day
distributed in one little New Jersey city
started for that purpose. Suppose 800 such
factories were thus to open In New Jersey
and In New York, that would employ about
1000, 900 hands who would earn 81, 200, 900
q day to be distributed among the
laboring classes. Would not that furnish
them with money to buy whatever they
need? If 800 such factories were started
they would be worth more to the American
people than all the imported articles that
are sent TO this country from abroad AL
lowing 800 working days year, and the
hands employed In those factories would |
receive about $500 900, 900 annually. Those
800 factories might increase the manufac-
tured products of this country to such an |
extent that those products would be sold to
consumers at less cost than IL we had low |
tariff or free trade. When the foreign man.
ufacturer can make products and sell them J

Are Not Favorably Disposed Towards
Counterfeits.
Either counterfeit money or counterfeit
goods of any kind. The u. S. court, sitting
at Rochester, Y. Y, has ordered an iDjunc-
ton against the sale of Grain in packages
made to initiate the original Postum Cereal
Food Coffee packages
The counterfeit in this case was put out
in packages having the red seals and much
of the wording of Postum, and the nOn-dis-
eliminating public have been given this or
some one of the other various limitations
when calling at the stores for the original
Postum Cereal Food Coffee,
These makers of articles to furnish gro.
GERS with which to substitute" for some
original article have little idea of HYGIENE
or food value In a Cereal Coffee Some
counterfeits are offered in place of Postum
because the package weighs pounds while
the genuine package weighs but II lbs.
One counterfeit two pound package looks
like Drowned rye kernels ground. 1t is
probably harmless enough but no idea (
food value is there. Postum is made by
skillful food experts 20 per cent. being Sc.
cured from the parts of the cereals contain
ing the albumen and phosphates required
by the human body to rebuild the gray mat

duces the disatase which dlgests starch.
That's why Postum "makes red blood" and
why thoughtful people use it regularly.
Buyers should look for the red seals and

THE OTHER SIDE.
written for the EVENING NEws.)

You laugh at that girl in the ballet
All, you who are joyous and gay
The star you are loudly applauding,-
You fling her costly boquet.
The play still goes on, and the praises
Are given to those who succeed;
While the dancers are jeered at: no roses
Are given. TO them, as their need.
Now, the queen is bowed to and courted,
The pages are sighted, and yet,
Tho smiles may appear on their faces,
Their eyelids with tears are oft wet!
They heed not the Slight that has fallen
What's the use? There S d days bread to viii
Though the world little knows of their tOiling
And the sorrows each heart bears within.
Go watch th.ym some night when all over,
The spectacle grand with its glare;
See one who cans over q mother
And sooths her with kindness and prayer!
Beside then lie al the bright spangles
That ygQ1t4S. eg.i 8 morsel Of bread;
But soon meath that roof, lone and humble,
The mother lies pallid and dead!
And see where another IS bending
Above her poor child, full of love.
Still dressed in her tinselled apparel
To him she's an angel above!
For him is her hardly won pittance,
For him she is struggling-ah! these
Are some of the acts of devotion
The heart that is jeering ne'er SEES
So sealed be your lips with the scorning,
And jeer not at those, who, tho poor,
Have in them a heart that is human,
With much to combat and endure!
This earth has a place for each mortal,
There's much to forget and forgive
One half of the world, ah! believe it.
Knows little of how the rest live!

A TALK ON THE WEATHER.
1 Tabooed Subject Treated BY One Who
was Tapooed BY It.

Now, hear the fellows kick. Here
they have been standing around on the
street corners, in the alleys and oc-
casionally holding up a saloon counter
and kicking about the blasted weather
we've been getting this winter Open
winter, lots of sickness, no ice. fat grave
yard, and all that. Some of them sat
up nights until the wee smas hours,
until they were unable to find the key
hole Just to curse luck and talk about
the weather. 1t was beastly, worse
than had ever been seen here before
and was chargeable with all our calam-
tiles except the bank failures. What
was needed was swapping cold. The
mercury should toy with the zero and
lower marks, or go to sleep for day
or two in the thermometer Dulb.
Well, a little weather has struck us.
The mercury lacked about ten or elev-
en- degrees Of getting down to zero, but
the wind was enough to remind
most of the denizens of this section that
there was little cold weather on tap,
and there is another kick.
This time the wind is little too
strong, the sun don't shine. And there
is only trifing futtering of snow on
the ground. This freeze did not come
at the right time, because it was pre-
ceded by a heavy rain and, OF course,
the roads are frozen up stiff and rough.
That makes trade poor, because the
farmers cannot come into town, and all
that.
It is the old case over again of the
fellows kicking who was to be hung.
There is no condition on earth and
possibly not in heaven, 1--WE are not
much acquainted there,) that can be
made to the satisfaction of the chronic
kicker

WHY WAS AYREs BARRED?
After Three Laps in walking Contest
He Is Ordered Out.

Herbert Ayres went to Chicago Sat
urday evening and entered the half
mile walk at the First Regiment Ar
mory. He did not finish the contest
as he was disqualified after the third
lap. AS far as speed is concerned
there seems to be no doubt that Mr..
Avres had the race easily in hand.
He had Wagered, before entering the
race, that he could beat certain
record and with this in mind when the
race started, set his own pace. From
the time he started until the time be
was taken out of the race, be did not
see any of his competitors. 1t re-
quired six laps to cover the half-mlle,
and at the end of the third lap he had
a big lead of Burg, the man who won
the race, and was in splendid condl-
ton when he was told that he need
not 90 on with the race. Mr.. Ayres
withdrew under protest, but could get
from the judges or referee, no satisfac-
tory reason for his disqualification.
He was not even warned before being
disqualified, while the rule requires
that contestant be warned three
times before he can be disqualified.
When he was withdrawn the
crowd had turned somewhat in his
favor and no one in the audience could
be found who had seen him warned.
The fact of the matter is that the at
fair looks very much like a steal, made
because the regiment wanted their own
man to win. After the event Mr..
Ayres challenged the winner, but his
challenge was 1t accepted and he has
since issued a challenge to walk any
one for the one-half mile amateur in
door chamionship of Chicago
If Ayres had been allowed to con-
tinue the race he would evidently have
won and at the same time taken his
wager, for at the quarter mile he was
two seconds ahead of the record he was
trying to beat.

FRACTURED HIS JAW.
A Horse Kicks George Filben With Disas-
trOus Results.

About 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon
George Filben, the 13-year- old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Filben, of Dur
kee avenue, was kicked by sharp shod
horse in the face in such a manner that
he sustained compound comminuted
fracture of the lower jaw. He had been
playing about the horse in the barn
adjoining bis fathers residence when
the horse kicked. The boy was
knocked unconscious and renamed so
until a physician could be called to his
side. When the doctor reached the
house it was feared that the boy had
suffered a conclusion of the brain.
There seemed to be some symptoms of
it, but it is now hoped that the wounds
were not so serious as. at first they were
supposed to be. With the aid of DR..
L. E. Kaltenbach the jaw was set in a
plaster cast and a small tube was in
serted just back of the molars for the
purpose of supplying the boy with food.
The jaw will probably have to remain
in the cast for abuut three weeks. At
present the Jaw is getting along nicely
and no further trouble is anticipated

CANDIDATES ARE BoBBING UP.
There Are Several who Would Like to Be
County Judge.

County Judge.
The political pot is beginning to boil
little It will be red hot in very
short time and the announcement by
Judge Van Wyck that he did not care
to succeed himself has made it. The
announcement was made more than a
week ago and since that time there has
been little or no surface indication that
there was anyone who wanted the job.
There has been considerable quiet feel
ing around going on, however, by sew
erai candidates. They realize that they
have got to get out and hustle now If
they want the position, since the cleo
ton for it comes with the regular spring
town elections and there is no great
length of time left in which to put up
campaign.
There are said to be four men in the
field who would just as soon succeed
Judge Van Wyck as not G. r. Nc
Dowell is said to want the job. Mr..
Mcdowell is democrat, but he is one
of the cleaner sort and has a good
record IN every way
r. FL. Slosson is also credited with
aspirations in that direction. Mr.. Slos-
son is at present clerk of the circuit
court and register in the county court.
He is not a lawyer, but the law does
not require man of legal attalnments.
Jnstice John G.. Slater is also said to
have weather eye cast in that dlrec-
ton. Justice Slater is a popular man,
of judicial temperament and we'll quail
fed in every way to fill the position.
Many profess to think that the justice
is not looking very hard since the po-
sition he now holds is said to be lucra-
tive enough for him, and that it would
be drop in income to take the county
iudgeship. The justice has happy
faculty OF getting great many things
he goes after, and some OF his friends
argue that he could get this if be really
wanted it.
Then again Myron Baker is said to
be a candidate. Mr.. Baker is staunch
republican and has held public office
before in this county to the credit both
of himself and the county. His can
didacy has not yet been very openly
announced. It has mostly been whisp-
cred about among his friends.
There are four men any one OF whom.
would be a credit to the position and a
worthy successor to the present in
cumbent, as hard as it would be to find
so honest and capable man as Judge
Van Wyck has always been.

ASSAULT AND BATTERY CASE
Henry Duvan Complained Against by
julius Meiswlnlkle.


Julius MeisWinkle sWore out a war;
rant for the arrest Of Henry Duvan,
under charge of assault and battery,
and this afternoon Duvan was brought
to book for the affair. Like all such
cases there are two sides to the story.
Meiswinkle claims he went up the
stairway Saturday night between Kup-
fers bakery and Keating's saloon to
see a man, and before he got up there
Duvan told aim to go no further
MeisWinkle refused and said he was
going up to see the man. At this
Duvan, to prevent his going farther,
began to belabor him with club,
beating him badly about the head and
shoulders.
Duvan's story is that his room IS on
the Kupfer side of the stairway and
that he was entertaining few friends.
MeisWinkle came up and opening the
door intended going in. Duvan told
him to get out, but being somewhat
under the influence of lntoxicants he
refused to bulge, when Duvan pro-
ceeded to put him out and fired him
down stairs.
Which ever story is correct, it is GER
tain that Meiswinkle got pretty badly
bruised up. When the case came be-
fore Justice Slater it was adjourned for
one week, Duvan being allowed to go
on hic own rano0ni1annn

HAS FILED A PROTEST.
4. M. Ayres Disqualified in the Chicago
Walking Match.

Walking Match.
81. NJ. Ayres went to Chicago to en-
fer the Amateur athletic events at First
regiment armory. He had entered for
the quarter mile walk, but when he got
there he was told that he was disquall-
fed. He was given no reason why, but
by a self appointed judge was simply
notified that he could not walk. This
action greatly discounted our we'll
known walker, but he swallowed MS
wrath and came home.
According to the rules OF the Anna
teur Athletic association he should
have been given three warnings that
he was to be disqualified. He did not
receive any warnings and so this morn
ing he filed notice with the secretary
in New York protesting against the
match in Chicago Saturday night.

WERE SUSPICIOUS LOOKING.
vwo Men Make Demonstrations of Bad
Character at Sutherland's.

About o'clock Saturday morning
two suspicious looking characters were
seen about the house of r. E. Suther-
land The maid, happening to be
awake at the time, saw light flash
into the window and soon after saw two
men slip out from the shadow of the
bay window and walk out toward the
sidewalk. They seemed to be engaged
in a serious conversation, when a step
was heard which frightened them from
the place. Thinking that burglars
might be about, Mr.. Sutherland had
special deputy guard the place Satur-
day night. Nothing developed, how
ever, and it is believed that the sus-
picons were ungrounded or that the
marauders were scared out of their job.

turing Company Talking Bosh.
Tie Chicago Dispatch of Saturday
had an article about the Chas. Sieg
Manufacturing company, of this city,
which stated that they were turning off
Union men and cutting wages and in
consequence were having wheels sent
back under boycott. The real facts in
the case are exactly opposite. They
hire any good man that comes, when
they need one, whether he is union or
non-union, and as far as having wheels
returned on that account, or any other
it is absolutely false. Their wheels are
giving perfect satisfaction and are all
sold in advance and all contracts were
signed months ago In regard to wages,
they are being increased. It was
only last Tuesday night that number
of the men were agreeably surprised to
find they had raise in wages. We
can only wish that few more factories
like The Chas. II. Sieg Manufacturing
company would locate in Kenosha.
