tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs

Profit sharing on novel basis is to
be given trial by twelve OF the lead

the managers of the plants have form
cd cooperative association for the
purpose OF bringing laborers here and
to make the city a model manufacture
ing town. The plan is to purchase
large tract of land on which will he
built homes for 900 laborers. These
homes will be sold to the men at the
actual cost OF building. They will be
located near the factory district. and
fitted with all modern conveniences. In
order to encourage matrimony among
the workmen these houses will be sold
or rented, and in the latter case the
rent paid will apply on the purchase
price of the house. To further the
plan large boarding house will be
erected to accommodate several hun
dred workmen. at which II will be pos
stble to secure board and rooms at low
rates. One thousand men are now
needed for the factories in Kenosha.
and this unique plan has been hit upon

gloom over the existence of Richard P.
Sutton, manager of the local theaters,
and number Of union musicians, for
reasons of financial nature, now makes
his bow in a new role.
w. H. Merrill, manager of the troupe
which gave performances at Sutton's
theater while DR.. Rucker was engaged
IN selling his wares, yesterday received a
letter from Seattle, In which the patent
medicine vendor threatens to sue Sutton
for 5000. No reasons for the suit are
given. Manager Sutton says he would
be content to have such a suit institut-
ed, were he able to recover the $500 Ii
cense fees he says he was compelled to
pay for the exhibitions given by Rucker,
the board money of the troupe and what
is due the musicians.
The letter threading suit was written
by DR.. Rucker, in reply to request by
Merrill. for money to take the troupe
to Seattle. The writer declared that ne
would advance no more money to any
body, but added that If Merrill would Sc
cure possession of the property left here
by the doctor and bring it and the com
pany to Seattle he would remunerate
him for all expenses.
Later in the afternoon two dispatches
arrived. one to Stage Manager Burns and
the other to a member of the cOmpan y
named Parker. In these kilograms DR..
Rucker promised to send the recipients
money to return to Chic ago. ii they would
ship his property to Richmond, Ind.
