Close of Navigation

From present indications naviga ton
is not likely to close until some time
later than usual this season. The
water in the river and lake is almost
warm enough to swim in. The steam
boat business of the past season has
exceeded that of the past five years and
every Goodrich liner has had more
than could be attended to. In the
freight line business has also been
brisk and with no prospect of naviga-
ton closing as early as in former years
there is good show of all records in
freight handling being "busted'.

CONDEMN THE PRACTICE.
Board of Control on Medical Care of Insane
to Lowest Bidder.

The State Board of Control has
adopted a resolution condemning the
practice said to be prevalent in about
fifteen counties in the state, OF letting
the medical care of the insane in the
county insane asy1ums by contract to
the lowest bidder. This resolution is
believed to be the beginning of a cru
SADIE by the board against this practice,
by which any man having physicians
diploma can secure the work of caring
for the county insane by bidding low
enough for it. The resolution is as
follows:
Resolved, That the State Board of
Control disapproves the practice
(Which has been resorted to in few
instances of receiving bids for the
medical care of the insane IN county
asy1ums and awarding contracts for
such services to the lowest bidders.
No sensible person would think for
moment of selecting his family ply
stefan in that manner, and the practice
is deemed equally reprehensib1e when
applied to these unfortunate persons
whose maintenance has become pub
lie charge. It is the opinion of the
board that the asylum authorities
should select reputable and competent
asylum physician on his merits and
pay such compensation for his services
as they may establish.

A NEW MOSES.
Mort Truesde1l Causes the Arrest of J. H.
Shelby for Violating the Liquor Law.

Mort Truesdell Causes the Arrest of j. H,
Shelby for Violating the Liquor Law.
J. H. Shelby, the Main street saloon
keeper, was arrested this afternoon by
Chief of Police O'Hare, on charge of
violating the state law by keeping his
saloon open on Sunday. The crime is
alleged to have been committed last
Sunday and the complaining witness,
who is responsible for the complaint is
Mort Truesde11.
The case came up before Justice
Slater this afternoon, but at the request
of the defendant, an adjournment of
ten days was taken. In speaking of
the case Shelby said that it was wholly
a matter of malicious persecution on
the part of Truesde11.
A short time ago the two men had
some trouble and it is alleged that
Truesde1 admitted to Shelby that he
had made a plan to rob him with the
assistance of another man well known
to the police. Shelby reported this
matter to the police and since that time
he says that Truesde11 has been trying
to get back at him. On the other hand
the police say that Truesdel1 is plan
ming to make a general crusade against
the saloons which are open on Sunday.

Nav Make a Change.

officers of a number of important
roads running out of Chicago are in
augurating a campaign against the
practice of making reduced rates to
state fairs, carniva1s, festivals and all
outside demonstrations gotten up with
the sole object of drawing trade to
nartica1ar communities at the expense
of others. These affairs have grown
to such proportions, say the railroad
men, that they are injuring freight
and passenger business. The theory
is that they drain the community at
the expense of another, resulting in
consequent loss to traffic to the rail
roads.

UNION MEN VICTORS
Remainder of the Work on the Soldiers
Monument to be Done as far as
Possible by the Union.
A GENERAL STRIKE TODAY

At the Order of the President of the
Bricklayers Union all the Men Employed
on the Library Quit Work This Morn
ing "A Settlement Reached Later in
the Day, and all the Men Returned to
Work.-No Further Trouble Expected.
Union labor has won another victory
in Kenosha, and after the work on the
monument and the public library had
been delayed for several hours, it is
announced this afternoon that the
trouble between Contractor Morse and
the Brick1ayers Union has been set
tied, and that the settlement is vic
tory for the Brick1ayers Union
The finish of the fight came early
this morning, when the men went to
work to set the big stones of the base
of the monument in place. At this
time President Thomas Hoban, of the
Union, appeared on the spot and in
formed the contractor that the work
could not proceed unless he consented
to use Union labor. Mr.. Morse, who
has charge of the work, talked with the
accede to his demands in any manner.
He stated that skilled labor would be
employed to set the monument, but
that he didn't care whether they were
members of the Union or not.
Mr.. HOban acted at once, and going
to the library building he called off all
the men who were under his iurisdic-
ton. All the other men employed on
the bodybuilding followed suit, and a
general strike was at cnce declared.
Tools were thrown down and the
men started off to the hall of the union
to wait for a settlement of the affair.
AS soon as the work of the library
was stopped the men gathered in the
office of the general contractors in the
park and decided to go to Mr.. Morse
and present the case to him. One of
the bosses on the work of the library
who is in sympathy with union labor
accepted the invitation to act as their
spokesman. Later a meeting was held
at which both the president and Mr..
Morse were in attendance.
At first the unionmen demanded that
the stone already laid be taken up
again in order that it could be laid by
the members of the union, but this was
so manifest1y unjust that comprom-
Use was finally arranged. The stone
will be allowed to stand as they are,
but on the other hand Mr.. Morse has
pledged himself that if in the setting
of the monument any mason work is to
be done he will hire only union men to
do it and that not single trowe1 of
mortar shall be laid by non-union men.
This agreement seemed satisfactory
to both parties and Immediately after
dinner all the men on the library went
back to work and everything is NOV
ing as usual this afternoon.
1t will be greatly regretted that the
erection of the library and the monu-
ment to be gift to the people of the
city was stopped for even SO short a
time by a squabb1e over unionism. 1t
is to be hoped that this will be an end
to the matter and that in the future the
future the work will not be interrupted
until the magnificent gift of Mr.. Sim
mons to all the people of the city shall
stand as a completed whole.

DEWEY WILL STAY IT OUT
Naval Officers Believe That He Be-
ieYes the End Near

Washington, March 10.-The statement
can be repeated on the authority of the
detail Office of the navy department., that
Admiral Dewey VIII not be relieved at
Manila until he chooses to make appli-
cation for such relief SO far, he has not
given any intimation of a purpose to ap-
ply for relief in the immediate future and
from the few declarations he has let fall
the department has every reason to believe
that he does not contemplate any such
action. Consequently, there is no founda-
ton for the story that Admiral SchIey or
any other admiral has been selected to
take command of the Asatic station. so
far as the navy department is concerned.
The directing officers are not only willing
but anxious that Dewey shall complete his
task and they deprecate the circulation
of such stories as those alleging that he
is to be relieved, for the reason that by
constant reiterahon the impression might
be conveyed to the admiral that the de-
partment would like TO relieve him. In
the case of man OF Dewey's punctilious
feeling, the mere suggestion, if he had the
slightest reason to believe it had an Off
cial foundation, would be sufficient to in
duce him to apply Immediately for relief.
rather than TO embarrass the department.
AS Dewey himself fixed the limitation of
his stay by the length of the task before
him, it may be matter of interest to re-
cord the belief of many naval officers that,
after all, the end is almost within sight.
