TRACE OF EMMA BECKER.
Missing Girl is Reported TO Have Been at
Barnsv1lle, Wis, on Last Monday.

After being absent from the city for
nearly a week Miss Emma Becker's
whereabouts are still a mystery, but
the police feel that they have secured
some little clue to the whereabouts of
the girl and it is possible that she may
be at Barnevi11e, Wis, or at one of the
small towns near that station. Thurs
day evening Mrs. Becker, the mother
OF the missing girl, received a letter
from J. B. Jones, of Barneville, stat
ing that on last Monday afternoon a
young girl about seventeen years of
age, wearing a red waist, black walk
ing skirt and tam o'shanter hat was
seen passing through the village in
company with a man much older than
herself. The couple seemed to avoid
attracting any attention and left
Barnevi11e late in the afternoon and
walked to the village of Mound City,
near Madison. This story is con-
firmed by William Davis, constable at
Barnevi11e. The description of the
young lady seen at Barnevi11e talljes
with the description of Miss Becker
with the exception of the tam oshdn-
ter hat. Mrs. Becker states that her
daughter never had a tam o'shanter
hat. The description of the man with
the Barneville girl ta1lies with the de-
scription of Swartz. The police have
been considerably handicapped in the
case on account OF the lack of money
to run the matter down. The parents
of the girl are not able to furnish all
the money needed and for this reason
the case is not being pushed as it
might be with unlimited funds.
The police are making every effort to
keep trace of the people seen at Barne-
Vile and it is possible that these may
be the missing man and woman.

ney BuckmaSter hatly accused the OPP
position With tanpering with the wit
nesses Of the State and Firthman with
a cry of rage sprang to his feet and 4
fierce personal debate followed. Turn
ing to hisaassociates In the case he de-
c1ared that he had been insrlted and
would demand that Buckmaster meet
him personally to wipe out the insult.
The court demanded order and partial
1y secured his demand. The District
Attorney apologized to the court for
his display of temper, but refused to
apologize to the attorney. Sch1enker,
the witness, took up the matter and
declared that he could not be bought.
This ended the incident and the taking
of testimony continued. No other per-
tinent evidence was secured from
out the defense putting a single ques-
ton to him.
At this point John Caster was re-
called 10 the stand. Many questions
were asked, but it mattered not as to
the question, the only reply of the wit
ness was, 81 do not remember" After
this answer had been made to more
than thirty questions the attorney for
the State asked Caster: "Who told you
to answer 81 do not remember" to all
questions put your" Caster was not
abashed, but answered at once, 81 do
not remember" The court here in
structed Caster that this was not n
answer to the questions and told him
that he must answer. Caster refused
to answer and at the request of the
District Attorney a recess was taken
until two O'Clock.
At the afternoon session William
Smith, police officer, was the first
witness called by the State, and he was
called for the purpose of showing the
relation of E. J. Huck, who had been
sought as a with ss, and who had not
appeared, to the defendant, Albert
Smith. Vim. Smith was also ques-
toned as to whether or not he had
ever had any conversation with Smith
or Pirsch in regard to the receiving of
money. Smith answered in the mega
tive after a storm of objections from
the attorney for the defense.
Ex-Alderman Caster was then re-
called to the stand and the trouble be-
gan. Caster refused to answer ques-
lions and District Attorney Buckmas.
ter announced that if he still continued
to refuse to answer he was no longer a
witness "a the case. Caster said never
a word, but deliberately left the wit
ness chair and retired to another part
of the room.
District Attorney Buckmaster then
asked for a continuance of the case for
period of nine days in order that
E. ]. Huck, who was material wit
ness, could be brought to Kenosha for
hearing in the ma tier.
The motion for adjournment was
granted and the further hearing Of the
case was set for Oct. 19 at nine O'Clock
in the morning.

plea, al a business man, speaking
from the point Of view of an American
manufacturer seeking trade in the

w. ]. Frost, Secretary of the Bad
ger Brass company, direct exporters
of Solar bicycle lamps, and house
lamps of the same description, was
particularly we'll qualified to express
an opinion, as the solar lamps find
plenty of competition in kindred
lamps of foreign make.

parts of the world, and with the re-
mova1 of the present prohibitive tariff
would again venture into the open for

this country-we could handle 1t.
Reciprocity would increase this coun-
try's business 100 per cent, in my
opinion, and I think most manufacture
ers will admit it on a moments
thought. This increase would GER
tainly benefit both the labor and cap
ita1 of this country-and why we
should be debarred from it-with reel
procity placin~ it within our grasp
almost, is question to be agitated.
There is no reason why we should
not have reciprocity, and there is ev-
cry reason why we should have it.

numerous points in the old world, and
have found sales in New Zealand, .
said F. r. Wells, of Wells & Messier,
foundrymen and makers of wire mat
tress weaving machinery. "Of course
we do not fear competition from any
machinery maker of any foreign coun-
try, and reciprocity certainly would
benefit us. How it would act with
other manufacturers in other lines I
could not venture to say, as have not
given the matter much thought"

Business Men All Anxious For Reel
neutrality-suspicious. Voiced by
MCKinIeys Buffalo Speech
TO OPEN MARKETS OF WORLD.
say Il Would Solve the Tariff Problem
RetaIiatory Measures Are
Disastrous

Reciprocity, by all means, say the
big business interests Of Kenosha.
Kenosha has several manufactures
that export direct to numerous diff
ferent far away points on the globe
and many of them have been curtailed
in their foreign trade bySreason ORE
taliatory duties levied by other nations
against whose native goods our pro-
tective tariff has initiated.
The principle comment offered by
Kenosha business men, whose inter
ests are directly affected by our tariff
relations with foreign governments,
is that the question of reciprocity has
not been taken up before and agitated
to greater extent. Among business
men they say the question of reciproc-
itY is not a new one, more than one
manufacturer in the country having
held the belief for some time, that
neither in high or a low tariff, of
general nature, was to be found that
equa bic adjustment of our commercial
affairs, with regard to those of other
nations, that is desirable.
The following named firms and bus
mess men of Kenosha are represented
in the demand for reciprocity:
Wire goods-The Simmons Manu-
featuring company, employing 1,10O;
A. H. Lance; Windsor Spring COM
pany, 200 men, B. F, Windsor.
Wagon Works-The Balm Wagon
company, $50 men, Frank S1osson.

Bill Nye on Life insurance.

characteristic paragraph to be quoted
from his writings:
'ln these days of dynamite and swift
changing presidential administrations
and dark tunnels through which an en-
gineer goes cropping his way at % miles
per hour, these days Of tumbling signs
of the times and tipsy telegraph poles,
live wires and dead repairers; these
days when the politician and the dead
~ bridge policeman with his pull lie
down together under the influence of
the same stimulant; these days when
death turks in the air we breathe, the
earth we tread, the food we eat, the
water-the water we battle in-I say it
behooves us to look well to our insur-
ance and our future state, and take
pleasure in certifying and saying to
whom these presents may come that

ject for profound congra tulation on my
own part and the deepest disgust on
the part of those who would naturally

Eow HiEh Was the Tower of Babelf
The actual height at which the last
stone Of that famous structure, the
Tower Of Babel. rested cannot, on ac-
count of the remotCaess Of the times at
which it is said to have existed, ever
become more THAI Il matter of merest
conjecture. Rerodetus, who lived about
LOO years after that great spiral way
to heaven" is sad to have been at
tempted, says that he saw at Babylon
n structure consisting of eight towers
raised one above another, each 20 feet
In height. but whether this ruin was
the remains of the Tower Of Babel it
was even then impossible to ascertain.
Herodotus. usually minutely exact in
his writing, leaves us in ignorance as
to how the upper level of each Of these
IS foot towers was reached from the
level below.
AS might be expected. even in tradI-
ton. wide difference of opinion exists
as to the height of the tower. Most orr
entaiists maintain that God did not put
a stop to the work until the tower had
reached a height of 10000 fathoms, or
about II miles. In Ceylonese tradition
1T is said to have been as high as 10000
elephants, each standing one above the
other st. Jerome asserts on the /au-
thority of persons who had examined
the ruins that it did not reach height
exceeding four miles. Other state
Elents are still more eXtravagant.

great aid to health. An exchange tells

the hair was allowed to become dirty
and matted it was hardly possible to

speedy relief for nervous headache by
