at His Home on Prairie Ave. Today.
William Davy, the we'll known sewer
contractor and inventor of the Davy

1y before noon today at his home on
Prairie avenue. He had been i'll with
dropsy for the past six months, and
while in the yard this morning he was
seized with a sudden attack which re-
suited in his death a quarter of an

best known residents of the city and
his sudden death will be received with
great regret by many people in the

born in Do1kin, England, July 20, 1896
He resided in England for many
years and came to this country in 1879

DEATH OF LYDIA P. BAILEY.
Well Known Lady of the city Passed Away
This Morning.

Miss Lydia P. Bailey, aged 70 years,
a sister of Mrs. J. B. Starkweather and
an aunt of Mrs. E. H. HOLSTER, died
this morning at the residence of her
sister on Chicago street.
Miss Bailey had been i'll for the past
three months, but it was not thought
that the end was so near. Yesterday
she was better than she had been for
some time and there seemed to be no
change for the worse until she dropped
peacefully to sleep shortly after 5
O'Clock. Her death has cast a great
sorrow over many of her friends in
this city and coming as it did IN an
unexpected manner the blow is all the
harder to bear.
The deceased was we'll known in
this city. She was an eastern lady by
birth and came to this city from
Albany, n. Y, about twenty-five
years ago. She wasa devout christian
woman and had many noble qualities.
For many years she was member of
the Methodist church and in her own
quiet way she did great deal to adj
vance the interests of the church here.
Miss Bailey was member of one of
the best known families of the city.
Three sisters survive. They are Mrs.
J. B. Starkweather, of this city; Mrs.
C. H. Kellogg, of Chicago, and Mrs.
Frank Higgins, of Carthage, Mo.

Unions and Trusts.

The poet Young described man as
ssthe distinguished link in beings end
less chain Any human being would
prefer manhood to ange1hood, and to
be himself in preference to any other
person. The Declaration of Independ-
ence we'll recognizes the native dignity
of man when it says-'We hold these
truths to be self evident, that all men
are created equal; that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights; that among these
gre life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness"
To limited extent, and absolutely
if he were alone, the individual is at
liberty to act as if he were proprietor
of this terrestrial globe. He may,
without question, employ his native
powers and talents in utilizing the
forces and accommodating the products
of nature, if possibility, for his per.
sona1 profit and pleasure. AS soon,
however, as another individual ap-
pears on the scene, possessed of digni
ties, liberties and powers commensur
ate with his own, he stands in new
relationship and must yield supremacy
in so far as that supremacy in any way
3nterferes with the rights and liberties
of his fellow.
AS the units multiply, as society
comes into form and position, the
freedom of the Individual must be still
more curtai1ed. The family is en-
bowed with certain rights; the tribe
will dominate the individual more O
less; the nation also will sway it
scepter: and at last the empire de
mand recognition.

FIGHT ON A TAX DEED.
Interesting Suit to Be Taken From This
County to the Supreme Court.

The old I. w. Webster property on
Pearl street promises to furnish very
interesting question for decision by the
Supreme court in regard to the right
of a Circuit Judge to dissolve an in
junction without giving notice to the
contending parties.
c. r. Carpenter, of Racine, held a
tax certificate to the property which
was recently purchased at foreclosure
by E. D. Goodman. Some time ago
the attorneys for Mr.. Goodman APP
peared before Judge Fish and secured
an injunction against the County Clerk
to prohibit him from granting tax
deed for the property. A short time
ago the attorneys for the Racine man
appeared before the Judge and had the
in junction dissolved, but it is claimed
that this action was taken without Civ
ing the attorneys for Mr.. Goodman
proper notice. AS soon as the injunc-
ton was dissolved the County Clerk
issued tax deed for the property to
Mr.. Carpenter. The case will be taken
to the Supreme Court at once and con-
siderab1 interest is taken in the out
come of it.

STONED THE HOUSE.
Mrs. Harrington Created a Disturbance
by Hurting Bricks Through windows


There was quite a little excitement
on Wisconsin street Friday afternoon
and it was caused by the fact that
woman was standing on the street
hurting bricks and stones through the
windows of the old engine house. The
woman was Mrs. Charles Harrington,
who lives in the second story of the
house. She seems to have been tenn
porari1y deranged at the time and she
went out to the front of the building
and continued the fusi1ade of brick
until she managed to break six of the
window panes.
At last Officer John Ortiz was called
to look after the woman and she seem
ed surprised when he attempted to
stop her harmless pastime. In the
meantime a crowd gathered and they
seemed to enjoy the affair hugely.
Finally the officer succeeded in getting
her into her home and she explain
ed to him that she broke the windows
70 get even with her husband on &C
count of some family spat. She was
not arrested. It is reported that the
woman is in the habit Of becoming
temporarily deranged at times and that
this is not the first time that her
actions have caused comment.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tisrn was the work of a demon within
a man. Any one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or infanmatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infection is
demoniac enough to warrant the be-
lief. It has never been claimed that
Chamber1ain's Pain Balm would cast
out demons, but it will cure rheuma-
tism, and hundreds bear Testimony to
the truth Of this statement. One APP
p1ication relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale by
