SIGNIFICANCE OF LARGE FEET.
Mississippi Judge Who Thought They
Indicated Good Blood.


Judge Alonzo G. Meyers was sitting
under a big tree in Brandon, Miss, one
fine day exchanging experiences with
DR.. Hart the minister, and some more
of the folks at Brandon. Judge Meyers
has a circuit which includes q coun-
ties and 10 of them are off the railroad
lines. On that account things hap
pen to him once in a while which he
thinks are worth recounting. This day
, it CHANGED that DR.. Harris attention
was attracted by Judge Meyers feet
There was something peculiar about
them. to tell the truth. They We're
quite long, but were wide and the judge
made no attempt to conceal the fact. DR..
Hart had very small feet and he was
just as proud of them as if he deserved
any credit. He had his boots made to
order and kept them nicely polished and
otherwise sought to direct attention to
| his cute little feet.
This particular day while the group
/, was sitting out under the tree a Bran
| don DR.. Hart said:
Judge, that's a pretty fair under
standing you have there, isn't it?"
The court looked at his foot rather ad-
! miringly and said:
| Yes, that is pretty big foot. That
was remarked to me by a horseman
that rode down from Nashville with me
month ago. He said I had big foot
and I said: Don't you always find that
good horses-that is, blooded horses
i you know-always have big feet?'
He says, oh, yes that's the rule
Well l says, isn't it true that jack
asses always have small feet?'
! And he says, oh, yes, that's true
| too
| After that Dr. Hart changed the sub
ject to the prospects for good cotton
/ crop, which were not encouraging.

investigations in child study during
the past II years have brought to light
many undiscovered facts and have
made obsolete much that has been &C

of children has become fruitful source

proud of her leadership in psychology.
She has now yielded first place to Ger

catches by means of the following very
simple plan: They put a number of live
worms and insects in bottle partially
filled with water and then cork it Sc

WANT LICENSE RAISED.
People of somers will Vote on the Saloon
Question September 10.


The temperance spirit in the town of
Somers has again reused itself and an
effort is being made to boost the price
of saloon licenses in the town to such
a figure that it will be expensive work
for the prospective sa1oonist to go into
business.
The petition has been in circulation
for some time and now has the requis-
tie number of signers to make special
election a surety. The election will be
held on the third Tuesday of Septem-
Der and from the way in which the
friends of high license are working it
looks as if they would gain victory.
At the present time the fee for the
saloon license in Somers amounts to
500, but the petitioners are DESTROYS
of either raising it to $3.50 or $500, as
the voters of the town may decide.
The friends of the petitions say that
they do not intend to make the license
high on account of Central park and
little objection has been made to this
resort, but lately rumors have been
heard that a saloon would be started in
the village of Somers and at this pro-
posed industry the petition is aimed.
There has been some talk of SINH
lar election being held in the town of
Pleasant Prairie, but in this case it is
the friends of low license that are cir
cu1a ting the petition.

A Year That Breaks Records.

This is a record-breakng year for
the United States. The production of
nearly all the principal corn-growing
states is so far ahead of all previous
years that the falling off in some of
the minor states will be more than
compensated for, AID the largest
aggregate yield in the country's his
tory is now assured. Some of the
authorities place the crop as high as
$500, 600, 900 bushels, which would be
far ahead of ali the best years of the
past, the highest previous yield being
that of 1896, which was put by the
governments Department of Agrl-
culture, after all the returns were in,
at 2,283,875,165 bushels. The wheat
crop is believed to have exceeded all
former yields except that of 1898.
In nearly every important field of in
dustry the production is ahead of any
year in the past. The production of pig
iron has been steadily breaking records
for several months, Notwithstanding
the large increase in price. The out
put of the wooden and cotton factories
is apparently in the lead of all former
figures. Railroad earnings are reflect
ing these advances by passing up to
higher figures than were ever before
reached. Bank c1earances, which have
all along been recognized as trust
worthy barometer of business cond1-
tions, have passed far beyond all
previous totals. This is not only true
of the c1earances in New York and
Chicago, where they could be affected
by the operations of the speculative
exchanges, but it is true of the other
business centers of the country, large
and small.
The government is feeling the tonic
effect of these exhi1erating conditions.
It's gold reserve has passed far up be-
You'd the highest line ever previously
touched. Moreover, the tendency in
this direction is likely to continue for
time, for gold is coming into the
country from Australia, and more of it
is likely to soon start from Europe to
us. The treasury returns for August,
the heavy expendi-
lures due to the increased army bur-
den, show surplus of over 100000.
August, it is true, is ordinarily
month of comparatively ightdisburse-
ments. The indications are, however,
that the tax laws will, under the spur
of the immense business expansion,
provide very nearly enough of revenue
to meet all the governments expendi-
lures hereafter, and may furnish quite
enough. In an industrial, financial
and political way these are among the
greatest days which the United States
has seen.-St. Louis G1obe-Democrat

KENosHA has acquired the very un-
desirable distinction of the saloon
ridden city. One scarcely ever rides
through Main street and Milwaukee
avenue on the M. r. & K. bus without
hearing some one remark on the man
ner in which the saloons have nsurped
the principal streets and the best 1oca-
tons in the city. A new building is
seldom erected that is not leased far in
advance by the saloon keeper. The
result is that the saloons are so thick
on Main street that they occupy nearly
the whole of one side and are en-
croaching upon the other. Immed1
ate1y off of Main street the most favor
able sites are grabbed up in hurry by
the Brewing Co. or the private dealer.
Owing to a natural prejudice that the
bulk of business men feel against To-
eating in close proximity to a saloon,
the moment a building is built or rent
ed for such purpose the business
blocks, or if ground is unoccupied, the
lots on both sides of it for considerable
distance are practically pre-empted for
similar purposes. 1t is the case of the
old proverb of birds of feather. The
saloons are bound by the nature of
things to huddle together. 1t is also
natural that in small town just be-
ginning to grow business of all kinds
should concentrate itself in a certain
center. In a town of this size the dis
trict devoted to business is small and
ali kinds and classes of dealers are
crowded together, regardless of trade,
because it is just beginning to grow
away from the nucleus about which
had it's birth. Now, however, since
the old center has been filled up and
the business district is expanding it
would be very easy and altogether de-
sirab1e, by allowing the saloons to fol-
low their inevitable course of keeping
together and pern1i tting other kinds of
businessto choose their own rel ghbors,
to prevent the further encroachment Of
the saloon upon the regular business
section of the city. In other words, the
saloons should be confined to a defined
territory where they could ply their
trade without any hindrance outside of
the1aw and where they would be out
of the way of the stores and their
patrons

JOINS THE REGULAR ARMY.
Fred Bailey Runs AWAY From Home and
Enlists in the First Artillery.

When the First Artillery marches
away to join the army in the Philip
pines Kenosha will be represented in
the army in the islands for telegram
received yesterday from Fred Bailey
announces that he has been admitted
to the army as member of Company
O, of the First Artillery now station
ed at Jackson barracks, New Orleans.
There is quite story connected with
the Kenosha boys joining the army.
For some time Bailey has sought to be
soldier. When the army marched
forth at the opening of the Spanish
war Bailey decided to join but his
mother, Mrs. E. ]. Moore, desired him
to remain at home and he was forced
to stay because he was not of age.
Later when the military company was
organized in this city Bailey was one
of the first to sign the muster roll. A
week ago the young man left his home
in this city and since that time until
the telegram was received nothing had
been heard of him. His mother had
been greatly worried about him, but
now she is perfectly willing that he be
a member of the artillery. The regi-
ment of which Bailey is member has
been ordered to be in readiness to leave
for Manila at any time. Bailey was a
member of Company L, w. N. G., and
since he has joined company in the
regular army he will be given an
honorable discharge.

Praises Senator spooner.

THE Washington correspondent OF
the Portland, Wash, Daily Oregonian,
places Senator John c. Spooner in the
presidential class, speaking of him as
follows:
John C. Spooner is an intellectual
giant He is one of the few men that
can discuss for four or five hours in the
United States senate subject and
hold the attention of all his colleagues
all the time, and of crowded galleries
as we'll. When he finishes a speech
very little remains that he has not
thoroughly covered, and IN manner
to make it also absolutely intel1g1ble
to the people who hear him, and to
those who read the speech. 1t must
not be understood by this that he is
verbose or wastes words. Nor does ne
elaborate any point to such an extent
as to become tiresome and dreary. he
makes his point and illustrates 1t
sufficiently to be we'll understood and
leaves it and passes on to the next
subject. AS an evidence of his ire
mendous ability in these lines it is
sufficient to note that unlike nearly
every senator that makes a speech he
uOGS uOG W11lC II Jul eAAS ~ONA 49,
has copious notes and authorities,
showing that he has studied the SUBJ
iect very carefully, but he does not
lack for words in which to frame his
sentences and speaks extemporaneous-
", passing from one head to another,
according to the line of argument he is
pursuing. AS practicing lawyers he
has few superiors in this country.
Senator Spooner opposed the war
with Spain as 1ong as he could. He
believed that with proper negotiation
war could have been averted, and that
it would have been better for the
United States to have remained at
peace and to have esta b1ished by dip1o-
matte means an independent govern
ment in Cuba. After it became appar-
ent that war was coming, in spite of
the conservative element of the coun-
try, he supported every war measure,
and he is a man who does not shrink
from the responsibilities which the
war brought, and is probably now
better equipped to discuss and vote
upon the various problems which are
presented than almost any other man
in public life. Senator Spooner
possesses those rare qualifications
which make a man not only good
senator, but would make him an excel
lent president.
