Course of River is Changed.

Kenosha, Wis, April 19-Pike
river, north of Kenosha, no long
er flows in it's former bed, as
Miss Helen Lester, president of
the Krug Sand company dis
covered that the flow of the river
interfered with the work of the
company and decided to change
it. A large dam was built to
shut off the water of the lake and
a new bed was built by means of
scrapers. When the water was
allowed to enter the river again
the old bed was completely dry.
Several people interested are
protesting against the change of
the waterway, and it is probable
that legal proceedings will fol-
low.

Puts Food on Chinese Grave.

Kaukauna, Wis, April "a. An
exceedingly interesting cere-
monial took place yesterday at
the Kelso cemetery near this
city. Moy Len died here three
years ago, and a friend of his
from Oshkosh yesterday laid Of
ferings Of foods reverently on
his grave, consisting of roast
chicken, and pork, hard boiled
eggs, four glasses of whiskey be-
sides burning insense of various
kinds, and leaving a row Of fancy
colored rockets stuck around the
grave. His celestial friend came
near setting the whole country
side in a blaze. 1t was during
the act of incense burning that
the jealous disciple of Confueius
set fire tothe dry grass surround
ing the grave which was spread
with great rapidity. The fright
ened Chinaman had to summon
help before he could put out the
fire.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man. of New
York. explains some very interesting facts
about Majors cement.
The multitude who use this standard article
know that is it many hundred per cent better
than other cementS for which similar claims
are made. but great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr.. Major
other manufacturers do not use them be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. MajO tells us that one of
the elements OF his cement costs S3 rs pound
and another costs So Is a gallon, while a large
share of the SO-called cements and LIQUID
glue upon the market are nothing more than
Sixteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid and, in some cases, altered slightly in
color and odor by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon
it his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is doubtly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
amounts to over $4,000 mouth throughout
the country. Established in 1876.
Insist On having Majors. Don't accept any
Offhand advice from a druggist.
Ii you are at all handy (and you will be
likely to find that you are good deal more so
than you 1maglne) you can repair your rub
Der boots and family shoes. and any other
Der Cement and Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how many dol
ltrs year you will thus save.
Ii your druggist can't supply you, 1t will
be forwarded by mail; either kind. Free Of
postage.

Indians in Trouble.

La Crosse, Wis, April "a
Chief John Whiteboy, of the
Winnebago tribe of Indian, whose
daughter caused a sensation in
Indian circles by clipping, is in
more trouble, but is in a fair way
to get out of it, and so is not
worrying. John was arrested
last night for stealing pair of
horses from John Waukon, the
young Indian buck with whom
his daughter eloped, as well as
harness, and saddles for the
horses. The outfit was stolen
by John, near Cashton, and he
brought it through La Crosse on
his way to his camp on the other
side of the river. John Waukon
had discovered his loss, and no
titled the police to be on the look
out for them. Two officers were
stationed at the bridge, and when
the horses came along, ridden
by two little Indian boys, sons Of
the Chief Whiteboy, they were
stopped and arrested. Later,
Whiteboy himself was picked up
by the officers, and allowed to
spend the night in jail.
When questioned as to why he
stole the animals, he said that he
sold them to WaukOn for much
less than they were worth. He
had kept them all winter, and
fed them. Whiteboy~kept them
until Waukon came to his camp
one night when he was away, and
removed his property. Chief
Whiteboy followed him, and found
the team near Cashton. When
he had a good opportunity, he in
turn retook the horses and pro-
ceeded home with them.
Since Whiteboy's arrest, Wau-
kon has relented, and it is not
probable that he will be prose
cuted by his brother redskin.

Must be Old and Ugly.

La Crosse, Wis, April "a
The novel specific of a divorce
case in which the principals are
each over 20 years of age, is
pending in the Circuit court
here. Thirty-fve years ago John
Brophey, a well-to-do farmer re-
siding at Galesville, Trempealeau
county, came to La Crosse and
married. Justice Harvey Hub
bard, who is still in Office in this
city, performed the ceremony
and it was pronounced good
match. Years rolled by; several
children were born. They grew
up, married and had children of
their own, and still the old cou-
pie lived together apparently
happy and contented, without a
word of dissension.
The first intimation the child
rem and grandchildren had of
any trouble was when they heard
that the aged Mrs. Brophy had
applied for divorce on theground
of cruel and in inhuman treat
ment.
Her attorney is E. G. Higbee of
of this city. Attorney Wadleigh
of Galesville, who represents the
defendant, will resp the grant
ing of the divorce. A great deal
of interest is being taken in the
case, as the parties are well
known in both Lacrosse and
Trempealeau counties.

Sugar Beet Factory Promised.

Racine, Wis, April 19.-West-
ern Union junction, seven miles
west Of here, is enjoying a boom
and the price of farm lands have
gone up so per cent during the
past month. Milwaukee capital
lists have secured options on at
least half dozen farms. The
farmers say that there is every
reason to believe that a new
sugar beet factory to cost S12,
900 will be established there, and
that the option on the land is
being secured for the purpose Of
growing beets.

The registering of the 112

suit of Wisconsin's arbitrary law

is believed that this port is the
proper one for the registering of

INCENDIARISM AND
ROBBERY FOR REVENGE
Continued from Page L.

Mrs. Oliver, who is a young, attrac-
tive looking woman, told practically
the same story to The Spy man. she
once had a friend named Charne sims,
she said. but believed he was innocent

she said she had the keys of the mon
eI- box in her pocketbopk and was GER
tain that no one but herself and nus
hand knew of the existence OF the mon
ev box. She never knew anyone hau
a kew to her home and is at a loss to
account for the second key to the back
door as she knew of the existence of
only one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver think that the
nerson who committed the robbery
must have got into the house sometime
Saturday afternoon as the house was
vacant between the hours OF l and 3
o'clock. Mrs. Oliver also said she
had no enemies and as far as she knew
none of the boarders had any.
The oliver family has been living in
the tenement about three months. The
house is owned by John Crawshaw
who lives with his family on the
ground floor. The tenement on the
Second floor is occupied by Mrs. Jane

and two of them struck the sergeant
on the head. The inmates of the room
came piling out on that side but the
assault was repulsed by the sergeant
who made several swings from the
shoulder and drove the card players
back into the room. officers William A.
Condy, John Legasey and Charles f.
Gould got into the miXup also. Charlie
Sing, the proprietor, with four friends
dropped out of the rear window and
were seen no more. Charlie Sing, much
to his sorrow, is about the only
Chinaman in Worcester whom the
police can identify positively and three
of the officers will swear that it was
Charlie who led the retreat through
the rear window.
Bowls of chop suey, chem benz, the
Chinese liquor, and many Chinese
viands, including nuts and candy
were scattered about the floor Several
of the Celestials must have succeeded
in eating their cards as the officers Sc
cured but 20 out of the pack that was
used in the game.
The police wagon had to make two
trips to land the prisoners at Station l.

Chief Amos Atkinson as Charles Sing
Chin Quong, Won Gee, Chin Sam,
Charley Tong, Coon Gee, Wing Lee, Hen
Shang, Ling Kie, Shang Tong, Chin
Sang, Sam Lee, Sing Lee and Ching
Wing. According to Ye Moon Guy,
the bunch of card players represented
the Chinese aristocracy of Worcester
and their arrest is regarded as great
joke by their brethren from the Celes-
tiaI domain. Charlie Sing, who is
wanted by the police, has led many
prayer meetings in the Chinese Sun
day school. Ling Kie, Hen Shang, who
told Deputy Chief Atkinson that Hen
and not Henry was his real name, and
Coon Gee have sung hymns so long and
often at Sunday school meetings that
they were hoarse for days afterward.
Whether the arrest of the bunch was
a Joke or not no one can tell but it is
fact that the Chinese gathering at
Station l yesterday emitted some Won
derfulIy strange noises.
Shang Tong. who is the Lew Dock
stader of Worcester Cinnamon, kept
the audience of Cinnamon constantly
laughing by reciting Chinese jokes in
his native language, although Deputy
Atkinson thought that Shang was try
ing to give an imitation Of bell ring
ing Won Gee is the possessor of an ex-
preston that looks very much like the
product of a blacksmith shop and he
got so highly indignant when pushed
into a cell, by officer John Legasey,
that he made a very wry face and said
something that sounded real bad. The
bailing out process was hard one for
the officials. The Cinnamon could not
tell their names until they saw the
cards in their hats and it was with a
sigh Of relief that all the officers con-
cerned saw the last of the string dis
appear out of the door at Station /.
In addition to the IA gathered in and
those who escaped the officers left one
Chinaman at the restaurant, who acted
very much as though he had pains in
the stomach. Chief Stone will take i'm
mediate action on revoking the license
for the restaurant. He believes that
with its closing a menace to good
morals Of girls in Worcester will be re-
moved.

The injured passengers were attended
by surgeons from Rochelle

st. Luke's Hospital, in Chicago, by
special train.
The freight train had taken siding
at Malta, but the train was longer than
the siding and the freight locomotive
protruded upon the main track beyond
the sidetrack. The incoming train
from the West was not stopped until
the two locomotives "cornered'' at the
switch, the passenger engine being
thrown into the ditch and several
coaches piling upon the wreck. The
cars caught fire from the locomotive.
A statement given out by the officials
of the railroad company explains that
the switch at the east end of the siding
was opened through mistake and that
the responsibility probably lies with
some member of the crew of the freight
train. The statement places the com
pany's property loss at about 100000.
