A CITY OF FAKIRs.
Kenosha Boasts of All Sorts of Criminals
in the way of the Smooth Man.

Kenosha is rapidly acquiring the
unenviab1e reputation of as a city of
fakirs and in fact it seems that the
title is well deserved. In a walk over
the city yesterday it was discovered
that the entire city is the working
place of these men. The first man to
be encountered was a man taking
orders for pictures, Sin the charging
business" as he put it, Experience,
teaches that these men should not be.
admitted to home in the city. Cor
bett, of Racine, is a picture vender and.
an examination of the police records Oh.
the city shows that three picture men
have been arrested in the city in the
| last three months and one more is bad
! 1y wanted on account of the disappear,
ance of a young lady from the city,
who was alleged to have been seen last
with the man. Picture agents should
be barred on general principles.
The next man to be found was the
man selling nice fresh eggs. This was
the really smooth man. During the
summer months he worked with a
wholesale fruit house in Chicago and
when the winter killed his business he
became a huckster. He carries large
load of cold storage eggs, but in order
to film the ali too gu11ib1e housewife he
goes from door to door with three
dozen of the eggs in little basket of
oats and sells them out as eggs just
taken from the nest in the country.
Of course he gets good pric- and the
| housewife foots the bill. We must say
that the reputable dealers in the CITY,
are the men who are here to sell Keno
sha people eggs and their word is to be
relied upon. The next man of the
genius swind1er struck was an old man
selling apples. He had hauled them
all the way from Union Grove just
because he had discovered the fact that
the Kenosha people were easy. In his,
wagon of course was found a short
measure the peck containing three
quarts and the bushe1 only three pecks.
And yet the people bought and were
gu11ed.
These are only the discoveries of one
afternoon, and had the day been
longer as many other fakes could have
been found in the way of vendors of
lace, needles, pencils, ETC., ETC., ad in ,
finitum. Make this one rule, shut the
door in the face of every pedd1er and
patronize the dealers of the city. Tt.
will save you money and it may save.
you your life.

important information for Farmers.

Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment
Station, Madison, Dec. s 1899.-Infor-
nation comes to the experiment station
that agents are inducing Wisconsin
farmers to invest in patented devices
for raising cream on milk by the addi-
ton of water to the fresh milk. This
system of cream raising is not new
and cannot be patented, though
particular devices may be; it has been
tested over and over again by expert
ment stations and found va1ue1ess.
Every farmer who puts money into
this business will lose his in invest
ment. Our warning is to have nothing
to do with agents selling devices for
raising cream by the addition of water
to fresh milk. In adjoining states
agents have already taken tens of
dollars from the farmers, and they are
just beginning to work the state of
Wisconsin.

A. P. Dutton, of Racine, Sends a Per-
tinent Letter to the Mayor of
Southport.
ASKS A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE

Well Known Racine Man Asks the Assist
ance of the Mayor to stop the Great
Amount of Crime in Kenosha and Racine
He Urges the Most Drastic Measures be
Employed and That the Police be Armed
With Whips.
To ali criminals in Kenosha and
Racine counties we call the sign of
warming. Leave the counties at once
and seek new pastures green for one
man is on the warpath, who never
knew what it was to stop until he gain
ed the point.
Spurred on by the continual reports
of crime in the two counties Racine's
famous lighter for right, A. p. Dutton,
has taken up the cudge1 against the
1aw1ess class and he will urge all sorts
of reforms. This morning he sent the
following letter to Mayor German and
has made similar suggestions to the
mayor of Racine and other surround
ing towns and cities. The letter is as
follows
Racine, Wis, Dec. 9Th, 1899.
To His Hon. Mayor of the City of
Southport.
Dear Sir-I notice that your people,
as well as those of the city of Racine,
begin to cry out, "What shall we do to
be saved?'' and 1 will make few sug-
gestions.
First. Organize a vigilance COM
mittee of at least 100. Put man at
the head that would not turn out if he
was met by the devil and all of his
hire1ings of Hadees.
Second. Then buy coil of half
inch rope and go into business. Stop
sending sa1oonkeepers to the 1egis1a-
ture or putting them into the city
council. Repeal all your civil service
laws aud when a man does not do his
duty land him out of office and let him
climb sour apple tree, root hog or
die.
Third. Let your police be armed
with an old fashioned cowhide and
every man found going from house to
house peddling or soliciting, give him
about three cuts on the broadcast parts
and point out to him the best way out
of the city.
Fourth. Trar1ps and crt-throats
and ali other criminals know where
the good pastures can be found. They
seldom are found where grog shops are
scarce.
Fifth. Instruct your sheriff to be
sure to deal out daily croten oil soup.
It is re1axingand causes them to move
on.
Sixth. Hoping that our cities may
wake up and at least make an effort to
save the lives of our people,
Irenain, yours truly,
A. P. BUTTON.
Every suggestion made by Mr..
Dutton is a good one, and especially
the last one. If the city must care for
the floating population known as hobos
they should do it in way which would
make the county Jail popular place
of resort In the last few weeks
Sheriff Timme has adopted the plan of
allowing the men to sleep with the
windows open and on this account the
Kenosha Jail has been named Freeze
out joint among the profession. If
the other suggestions of the letter
could be followed it would soon solve
the problem of floating POPULATION.

THE CARPETRAGGER
Tim Murphy and His Company Give Ke-
nosha People a Fine Production.

Tim Murphy as Governor Crance,.
the "carpetbagger Governor of Miss
issippi, . was the offering at the Rhode
opera house last evening, and while
Mr. Murphy was well supported by
competent company the interest in the
performance centered in the admirable
way in which the hero of the Texas
Steer and half dozen other successes
interpreted the role of the character
de1ineated by Opie Read and Frank
Pix1ey.
Mr.. Murphy was greeted by repre-
sentative audience when the curtain
was rung up for the first act, but the
opera house should have been packed
to the doors. sThe lCarpetbagger' is
announced as a dramatic comedy, and
as such it is a success. 1t is filled with
clear and wholesome sentiment of
Southern life and there is just enough
of the me1odrama init to hold the in
terest of the audience. The scenic eff
fects were exceedingly good and mer~
tied the applause they received. AS
Governor GRANGE Mr.. Murphy won
new 1aure1s and a better inpersonation
of the character could have hardly
been given. The part seemed to have
been made gfor the veteran comedian.
His support was especially good, Miss
Dorothy Sherod, who took the part of
the widow deserving especial mention.

SCROFULA
It is Foul BIood's Advertise
ment
But 1t is Soon Cured by ttcod'0
Sarsapariila.

Yes, scrofula, ifanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. It il tho
scourge Of the world -- offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and we'll nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they caunos
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as We
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the rayagos to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with inn
pure blood. There were running cores
all over her body and they caused hex
much suffering. We tried medicines thas
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking a few bottles,
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.

doesn't hold a bucket too close when
such an unloading begins, but has a
way Of drawing off and allowing the
outsider TO drop his stocks into what

result was that the market that was

discovered thatthe bank that had failed
