BOOM FOR WINTHROP BARBoR
First Industry Has Been Located at the
Little Village.

Many people in the city will be
pleased to learn that Winthrop Harbor
is at last assured an industry. For
many years an effort has been made to
boom the little village, and now it
seems that success is assured. A tele-
gram from Waukegan announces the
following facts in regard to the first
factory which will be erected at the
little village: ''Arrang have
been made to locate the first factory at
the projected new town of Winthrop
Harbor: north of here. 1t will make
plumbers supplies and will occupy a
building 100 by 200 feet, which will be
erected at once. 1t will employ 100
hands the first year. Later smelling
works will be built and 300 hand en-
p1oyed. A switch track will be run
from the Northwestern railroad at once
and dwelling houses will be built on
the bluff. The harbor will be excavat-
ed in a year or two by the Chicago men
behind the enterprise"

Jacobs Island,

Z Now that there is solid ground for
the belief that Jacobs island may be
used for a summer resort, the people of
this city may we'll pause and consider
the full significance of such possibi1-
ity. For years the far sighted and en-
> terprising people of this locality, and
indeed all who have ever had the
pleasure of visiting the island have
freely predicted and confidently hoped
that some time it would fall into just
such uses as it now promises to do.
The splendid location for a summer
resort that the site affords can scarcely
be overestsmated. It is safe to say
that few, if any other spots in the mid
die West provide equal facilities.
With the expenditure of sufficient
money to lay out the grounds in an at
!: tractive manner to enhance the work
that nature has already done and to
erect a beautiful and conmodious hotel
there is no question but Jacobs island
could be made to rival even the far
famed resorts of the East.
The features recommending the
island for purposes of this kind are
numerous. With the river on one side
and old Michigan on the other, with its
picturesque scenery and the territory
adjacent to it, opportunity is given fol
all the pleasures that the most exor
bitant nature could demand. The
Michigan shore of the island presents
the best possible opportunity for al
ideal bathing beach. The bay, which
the lake shore of the island confronts

A NARROW ESCAPE,
Aged Mother of Miss Bartlett Narrowly
Escapes Being Seriously Burned.

Mrs. Bartlett, who lives with her
daughter, Miss Bartlett, on the corner
of Deming and Park place, had mar
row escape from being burned to death
Yesterday, and it was only on account
of the display of rare presence of mind
that the aged lady escaped serious in
Jury. In the bathroom at the home of
Miss Bartlett a gas stove had been
lighted for the purpose of heating some
irons. Mrs. Bartlett was not aware
that the gas was burning and when she
went into 1he bathroom she leaned too
close to the flame and the back of her
dress was at once ignited. AS soon as
she discovered her danger she called
for assistance and going to the bath
tub she 1eaped into the tub and turned
the full force of the water on the
flames. AS soon as the guests in the
house reached the room the flames were
extinguished. Mrs. Bart1ett's dress
was burned almost from her body, but
luckily the flames had not penetrated to
the flesh, and she escaped without any
injury except a number of painful
burns on her hands. The friends of
Mrs. Bartlett were greatly excited by
the accident but the lady herself seems
to think that it was of little conse-
quence. III

and the expanse Of the lake beyond it
give scope for boating and yachting of
all kinds. The stretch of territory
comprised in the island itself, together
with that adjacent to it could easily be
converted into grounds for niscel-
laneous sports. Golf, cricket, tennis,
and in fact all and any of the games
which characterize well ordered and
complete summer resort Of the first
class could be easily provided for at
Jacobs island. Whatever aquatic
pleasures Michigan might not supply
could be furnished by the pretty little
river that borders the island on the
west. Indeed there seems to be no
limit to the possibilities for high class
summer resort on the North side island.
Aside from the mere opportunities for
pleasure the island has attractions of
another and just as important kind
which render it peculiarly fitted for a
popular resort. 1t is easily approached
from almost any quarter, and particu-
1ar1y so from Chicago and Milwaukee.
With the Northwestern railway, the
electric road and the steamship lines
which the improved condition of our
harbor and such an institution would
attract, the facilities for transportation
would be excellent. The Sheridan
road, which is bound to become a real
ity some day, would lend still more to
the general attractiveness and popu-
1arity of the place. The unusual OPP
portunity offered by Kenosha and Ra-
cine counties for delightful drives and
bicycle rides would still further en-
nance The pleasure of resorters. Even
the automobile could find place to dis
port itself.
The possibility of such an institution
in our midst, with all that it would
mean to the city, is at the, least, very
pleasing contemplation. It's signiti-
canoe is much deeper than the average
citizen understands. However it has
been the dream of Kenoshans for
years, and though it may be still some
distance in the future it's approach is
foreshadowed and we welcome the signs
of good omen. ~

must be secured from the city engineer.
The remainder of the meeting was
spent In useless. discussion of the
faults of the street commissioner of
the North division Aid. Priddis ac-
cuses the commissioner of being a
very expensive luxury for the city and
said that he had done a great deal of
useless work on the North side and ex-
pended the money of the city without
authority Weier came to the assist
ance of Herman and In short time
he was delivering harrangue on the
Mayor and a certain alderman, who
he claimed had stopped the work on
the approach of a bridge because the
men employed were not union carpen-
ters.
Of course the Mayor took little
notice of the North side alderman and
denied the charges which were made
against himself aud Aid. O'Brien.
The latter took no notice of the North
slider and simply said that the Mayor
had acted perfectly fair in the matter.
The discussion brought out the fact
that there was no. system in the way
in which the street work of the city
was being managed and that the COM
nittee on streets were being badly
handicapped on account of the action
of some of the aldermen medd1ing in
their affairs. 1t was finally decided
that no more work on the streets would
be done during the present season.
Later the Council ordered that the
north approach of Main strret be re-
paired and the work was left with the
harbor committee.
The Council then adjourned to meet
Thursday evening.

this city, has been elected to the chair
of English in the Willamette Univer-
sity at that point. Prof. Baker, with
his wife, are now in Salem, and are

LOOTED THE HOUSES.
John zweedyk Leaves for Holland with
the Savings of His Companions.


The police of the city are bending
every energy to find the whereabouts
of a Ho11ander named John Zweedyk,
who it is alleged has left this city for
Holland and taken with him about
800, which was stolen from his COM
panions last Sunday afternoon. He
had been boarding with Mrs. Beescher
DeBooy on Grand avenue. In the
afternoon the DeBooy family went to
church, leaving Zweedyk and a little
boy at home to take care of the house.
AS soon as the family had gone, ac-
cording to the story of the boy, zwee-
dyk looted the house. He managed to
secure about $12, which belonged to
Mrs. DeBooy. When he completed the
search here he went.to the home of c..
Krack, a neighbor, where his work
proved more remunerative. From
Krack he took $37 and from man
boarding there he secured ST. more.
With this booty he left the city and
it is now supposed that he is either in
New York or has started on his long
trip across the water. The plans of
the fellow for a hasty departure had
been made some. time ago and he had
arranged to take with him as much as
possible. One of the older men resid
ing-in his neighborhood had saved a
little over 81, 900 and zweedyk had
made plan to get that also but illness
in the family prevented the old gentle
man from going to church ard when
the traveller arrived at the house he was
tf1warted Various other amounts are
said to have been taken by the man
and it is said that the whole sum will
amount to over 800.
It was thought that zweedyk had
gone to Sheboygan, and an effort was
made to apprehend him at that point.
However all efforts were unavai1ing
and the fellow is now thought to be in
New York. He is said to be an ex-
ceeding1y smooth man and the officials
are of the opinion that he has too big
a start for them to overtake him.

CULLEY WANTS COIN.
Has Kil1een Summoned in a Suit for Ma
I1cious notwithstanding Trial

F. C. Cu11ey, editor of the Gazette,
announces that he has caused a sum-
mons to be served on ]. A. Kil1een,
ordering the editor of the Union to
appear and defend an action for ma
1icious libel The summons was ex-
pected and caused little comment.
Mr.. Ki11een was seen this morning
and said that he was not in any way
disturbed by the action of the little
Fnondescript''. He said that he was
ready to fight the case and seemed
certain that the plaintiff in the action
would not be able to recover a penny.
In speaking of the case he gave the
idea that in his defense to the suit he
will lay wide open the private life of
Mr.. Cu11ey. He claims that he has all
sorts of evidence against the editor
and some of il when it is shown in the
light of the witness chair will make
some interesting reading.
It is understood that the intention of
the attorney for the Gazette editor is
to confne the action to the ons1aughts
which Ki11een has made on the official
record of the ex-Mayor, while he was
in office.
The defense will not be satisfied with
this and will go into personalities. All
sorts of things will be offered ia evi-
dence some of which is now in the
hands of the attorney for the defe--dant
and is exceedingly interesting.

One or the Other


THE idea prevails among the insur-
rectionists that Aguina1do is an honest
and a capable man. His followers
look upon him as a prodigy of brains
and conscientious devotion to the
cause of liberty in the Philippine
Islands. They regard him as the
champion of all their best interests
and the one and only one who can Sc
aure for them the greatest possible
good and the greatest possible happi-
ness: their leader sent to defend them
from the ravages of greedy foreigners
like Spain and the United States, who
would despoi1 them of their possessions
and render them worse than slaves. In
fact. the people of the Philippines,
particularly those of the island of
Luzon, regard Aguinaldo in the light
of deity. The devotion which they
offer him is nothing short of religious.
Dominated by their faith in their deity
they are fighting and dying in cause
that could never be sanctioned, much
less lead by man Of integrity and
ability,
The, Irresistible logic of conditions
forces one to the belief that Agninaldo
IS either fool or a knave. The very
confidence of his ignorant followers is
the first indication of that fact. The
grounds of their faith in him and the
benefcent result of the cause he is
leading is a 1udicrous1y mistaken con-
ception of the American people, and in
particular the American soldier. At
the beginning of the instruction the
Fi1ipinos, convinced that the American
soldier was a coward, and anticipating
therefore an easy victory, were bold
enough to meet them in the open field.
The disastrous results of that conflict
taught them that they were mistaken
in the spirit of the men they were
fighting. Since that time they have
Invariably avoided meeting our forces
in the open field. From the first their
hope in the final outcome has been
sustained by reports of the capture of
large bodies of American troops and
their courage revived by terrifying
tales of the cruelty of our soldiers.
The most reliable authorities state
that those of the insurrectionists who
have fallen into the hands of their
enemy are amazed by their 1eniency
L l., c.
to leave their destinies in the hands of
the American people. They are the
victims of deceit.
If Aguina1do is an honest man and
himself believes the statements thus
made to the Fi1ipinos he cannot, at
the best, be regarded as a man of suf-
ficient ability and intelligence. to reg
u1ate the affairs of an independent re-
pub1id. On the other hand, if he is
possessed of the ability and inte1i-
gence with which he is usually. credit
ed. he is, rnanifest1y knaye artdsliar of
the first magnitude. Such a man at
the head of the government of the
Philippines could be depended upon to
look well to his own aggradizen1ent
and to give the people over whom he
ruled as despotic and robber1ike an ;ad-
ministfation as can be found anywhere
in the annals of history. Whatever the
facts in the case, it appears thatwith
people so ignorant as to be thus de-
ceived and leader either equally ig-
norant or sufficiently perfdious to
profit by it, the possibilities OLA F'ili-
pino republic are exceedingly n1eagre.
