HAD A HOT CHASE.
ofacer Feldschau Takes Couple of Shots
at an Escaping Burglar This Morning.


One lone burglar, desperate on ac-
count of the scarcity of business in the
last few weeks, furnished all the excite
ment reported in the police court this
morning. 1t seems that The fellow was
attempting to enter a grocery store at
the corner of Ridge and Market streets
when his presence in the neighborhood
was discovered by no less parsonage
than officer Henry Fe1dschau. Of
course the burglar started to run and
the officer after him. The burglar had
the best of the argument in the run
ming contest and the officer pulled his
revolver and attempted the new and
better method of stopping criminals.
The officer reports this morning that
he fired two shots at the fugitive but
from the reports heard about the street
it seems that there was regular fusilade
for few minutes. Other officers in
the city heard the shots and hurried to
the assistance of the officer. But the
burglar was too spry and managed to
give all the officers the slip. 1t is sup
posed that he made his way out of the
city.
On the return to the scene the Off
GERS found rubber over shoe which
had been the property of the fugitive,
and this was taken for evidence against
the fellow. The officers today have
kept close watch for fellows with one
shoe missing, and the first man found
in this condition will be locked up.
At the store the officers also found d
full kit of burglars tools, including d
Jimmy cold chize1 and another
tool used by expert safe flowers. A
close watch is being kept for the fel
low, and il he is in the city he will be
captured. The officers report that
they did not see the mans face, but
that they got splendid back view OF
him. AS far as can be learned the
fellow had no assistance in his pro
posed crime.

THE STOCK FAIR.
Farmer" Writes Relative to The Proposed
Monthly Stock Fair


Mr.. Editor: see in your last weeks
issue that the Kenosha merchants are
going to get monthly stock fair held
in Kenosha on Market Square. Will
it not be difficult job for us to handle
lot of stock on Market Square? 1t
might do very well for horses, but
fancy us with flock of COWS or steers
on the square; we would have more
than we could do to keep them off the
tracks, or mixing up with the Balm
wagon works, or making a break
through Main street, to the danger of
the people; we would have so much
trouble that we would have no time to
patronize the stores and hardly enough
time to get a drink.
Why should we need to have buyers
from Chicago or Milwaukee? Our own
Kenosha markets could use all we
could bring for some time. We believe
IN home markets so 1etus trade at home
and sell our produce in Kenosha. 1t
will be benefit to us as we'll as to the
people of Kenosha.
would say that we could have
much better place near the c.. & n. w,
yards. Get an enclosure with good
fence and we could have time to go to
either the Garfield or Maple house, and
would not have to drive our cattle
across the railway.
There are other things our merchants
can do to get our trade if they like.
However, suppose they can manage
their business in their own way.
Yours Sincerely,
FARMFR

He Kills Babe Whom He Had Proposed
to Treat TOR Illness.

to Treat tor Illness.
Hampton, Ia, Jan. 10.-Dr. G. w.
Appleby, for several years the leading
physician at Bristow, Butler county, in
a fit of insanity killed ten months
old child Of Henry YEARLY, of this
place, while making an examination of
it in DR.. Hobson's office in this city.
The parents had brought the child to
DR.. Hobson's office to be treated for
some trifing ailment, and before he
had time to attend to it he was called
out. DR.. Appleby was visiting DR.. Hob
son and the latter suggested that DIR.
Appleby should make the necessary ex-
animation, which as soon as DR. Hob
son had left the Office he proceeded
to do.
He took the child in his arms
handled it so roughly that the parents
protested, but to no avail. Suddenly
he put his tumbs under it's chin and
with his fingers on top of it's head
crushed it's face in so that blood
Then jumping up he seized the child
by one foot and began swinging it
around his head, resisting all efforts OF
the terrOr-stricken parents to stop
him, it was not until help was gotten
that the child was taken from him. It
was quite dead. DR.. Appleby declared
that God had taken the child.
The insane commission was immedi-
ately convened and at midnight DR..
AppIeby was on his way to the hos
pital for the insane at Independence.
He seemed to recover his senses later
and said he knew what he was doing
when he killed the child, but could not
help it, The cause of his insanity is
s1DnoSed to be religious excitement.

DECISION REVERSED.
Famous Mustard Seed Case as De-
cided by Supreme Court ReVers-
ing Judge Fish's Decision.
MRS. WERNER GETS DAMAGES

The Verdict of Kenosha County Jury
Giving Her So, 900 Damages Against the
Northwestern RAILWAY Company is At
frmed by the Supreme Court-Roth Cases
Have Been Before the Courts for Some
Time and Decisions Will be Interesting.
A decision of vital Importance to re-
tail dealers in all parts of the country
was rendered by the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin yesterday when the decision
of the Circuit Court of Kenosha coun-
ty in the case of Martin L. Hoffman,
VS.. Robert Dixon, otherwise known as
the mustard seed case, was reversed,
and the case will again be tried in the
Circuit Court. The case is one of the
most noteworthy ones ever tried in
this county. Several years ago Rob
ert Dixon was the proprietor of
country store at Silver Lake.
Among his customers were many
| farmers. Five of these men went to
the store to purchase rape, seed, and it
| is alleged that the store keeper sold
| them. all wild mustard seed, and when
the seed was sown the land was over
run with the plants of the wild mus
tard. All the purchasers of the seed
at once brought suit for damages, and
the trial of the case attracted great
attention in all parts of the state on
account of the fact that the case was
without parallel in the history of the
courts of the state.
J. V. Ouar1es, of Milwaukee, APP
peared for the store keeper, and after
the trial had lasted several days the
defendants attorney applied for nom
suit which was granted by Judge Fish.
The case was at once appealed to the
| Supreme Court which resulted in the
reversing of the decision of the lower
court. The case will be tried again at
the next term of the Circuit Court and
from the evidence produced at the last
trial it seems that the plaintiffs have
a strong case against the storekeeper.
The case caused great deal of talk
among the farmers of the county and
when the cases come to trial again the
court house will hardly be able to hold
the people who will desire to hear the
case.
Mrs Werner Gets Damaees.
The Supreme Court also handed down
a decision yesterday in the famous
personal damage suit of Mrs. Anna
Werner, of this city, against the North
| Western Railway. The Supreme
Court held that the verdict of the jury
in allowing Mrs. Werner damages to-
the extent of $4,000 was warranted by
the evidence in the case and the lady
will receive the money. The suit dates
back many years. The lady had come
from Chicago to visit friends in this
city in 1896 and as she was alight1ng
from the train she fell and sprained
her hip and she never recovered from
the injuries received at that time.
The suit was brought in the courts
of this county and was delayed for
over two years and when it finally
came to trial many of the witnesses
for the plaintiff had died and their
testimony had not been taken. When
the case was finished the jury found
for the plaintiff, fixing her damages at
T. 900.

Does Cutting Promote Growth of
HnIr

This question is answered by the
Frankfurter Wochenblatt in this wise:
at is believed by laymen and profess
sional hairdressers that cutting largely
increases the growth of the hair. This
belief begins with the involuntary COM
parison of the hair with n plant. AS
grass that is often cut short grows
again and becomes thicker, so, it is be-
lieved, the hair should do when it is
cut. This comparison, however, is
false one. A developed hair is a per-
fectly formed mass of horn which has
nothing further to do with the case in
which the hair rests than to receive
from it from below further growth
and to be held firmly by it. In this
mass of horn. as in the nails of the fin
gers and the toes, there is no longer
any sap in circulation. This mass, so
to speak, Is a product which cannot be
Quickened and strengthened by new
nourishment because the latter cannot
enter it. On the other hand, what hap
pens in blade of grass Is totally diff
ferent. The blade of grass is net
work of fine ducts in which is con-
stantly circulating the nourishment
which the blade draws from the root.
1t presents, in contrast with the dead
body of the hair, a living vegetating
substance which has most intimate
connection with the condition of its
root and which dries up infallibly
when it is separated from its root,
while the hair will remain unaffected
for thousands of years after its papilla
has withered away. We need cite only
one irresistible proof of this-the hair
on the heads of mummies. The root of
the hair as long as it exists can produce
a new hair when the old hair has fall
en- out, while the root of many plant
gives existence to one sprout only and
then, together with it, declines and
dies. The more hair is disturbed in
its natural growth by continually cut
ting off it's ends the less rest its papil-
Ia, the real producer of the hair, finds.
The papilla, being constantly melted
TO excessive production, wavers finally
in it's activity, decays and dies. For
this reason woman with a bald head
is never or seldom seen, rs the natural
and very slow process of the growth
of a woman's hair is not disturbed.
The individual hair reaches definite
length, and after years 1t falls out Of
itself, and a new hair begins to appear
as soon as the papilla has had time to
rest itself thoroughly and to prepare
itself for the process of a new growth.
These are the reasons which lead to
the obviously valid conclusion that cut
ting the hair is rather injurious than
useful"
