.SKAGWAY ROUTE IS
 AGAIN TRIUMPHANT
An Emergency Shipment For Uncle Sam's Troops At St. Michael Sent By White Pass Yukon Because
 All-Water Way Is Too Slow

Co stop here. He will continue to urge upon the government officials the prac. ticabiity of his route until nearly all oi i,s interior business is done through Skagway and over the White Pass X Yukon route.
 In speaking of the latest victory last evening Mir. Lee said: The giving of this shipment to our line shows that we were more right in our con. tcntions than we expected lt shows that the Skagway route is the only practicable one for reaching those points. This year. you know, we got freight into Dawson on the 23rd Of May. by taking it over the ice of La Barge. This is very early. When | say Dawson I might just as well say all river points. for the ice can be fol- lowed down"
 When sen last evening at TO o'clock in his offices Mr. Lee was buried in a mass of papers. but took the time 10 explain Co the reporter that he was preparing a list of prices of goods n kagway-groccrics hardware cloth ing and everything used in the interi9I. He was getting it in readiness for transmission Co the companys agent at Dawson. who will take it down 10 Circle and other adjacent points and procure some orders. He considered that. generally speaking. the prices were very fair compared with those ruling m Seattle We must act quick" said he. "I will wire this list iu and get the matter moving just as quickly as possible, for we want some oi that business this year The time for talk has gone by; the time for ac- tion i, here. and we are going to have some oi that trade
 AS the reporter was leaving Mir. Lee had some kind words Co say of Slagway's business men and predicted for them a great business with the Yukon country and said there was no good reason why they should not en. joy a printable trade with Dawson al. SD.
 The way Mir. Lee has handled the government contracts stamps him as on an aggressor and he will get the Circle business for SkagWay ii it can foe had.

Census Department Gives Out the
Population of Towns and Villages
in Kenosha County.
WILMoT LEADS THE COUNTY
Wi1mot das a Population of 1873, While
WOODWORK is Second With Population
of145-All Have Greatly Increased.

The United States census officials
have given out the official figures in
regard to the smaller towns in Keno
sha county and they make very inter
esting reading. During the last ten
years, according to the figures, the lit
tie towns have not only held their
own, but many of them have shown a
healthy growth. While all of them
have contributed to the increasing
population of Kenosha, many have re-
rnained behind and left the nucleus of
the villages. Among the towns of the
county Wilmot is now the leading vii
1age, having a population of 1873 peo-
pie. Woodwork is second with pop
u1ation of AS, while Somers with a
population of 120 is third. The entire
population of the county is shown to
be 1907, but a majority of this num-
Der are residents of the city of Keno
sha. The population Of the smaller
towns also show that large proper
ton of the residents of the county are
still occupying the farming lands and
the farming population is nearly as
large as the population of the city.
During the last ten years number
of post offices have been b1ished in
the county and they have formed a
place for settlements and in many
cases these little towns have grown to
be villages of Importance. With the

Certain influential men of Wauke-
sha, under the leadership of F. H.
White, have set on foot a movement
calculated to make the spring city one
of the most beautiful in the West. The
gentlemen propose that an Associa-
ton be formed of those who are will
ing to interest themselves in the
identifying of the city. These are
mainly the residents along the most
beautiful streets of the city, and they
agree to do all in their power as indi-
vidua1s, by keeping the lawns about
their own homes in the best possible
condition, to promote the scheme.
The plan provides for the friendly
rivalry among the jewellers along the
boulevards in keeping up their lawns
and the plat between the sidewalk and
the curb, which is to be planted with
flowers or otherwise sbeautified, so that
the streets so cultivated may consti-
tute continuous drive or walk through
continuous garden.
Many of the most'prominent citizens
of Waukesha have. Ga1ready signifed
their determination to cooperate in
the scheme to their utmost, and the
proba bi1ity is that the city of Wauke-
sha will, in time, bid fair to rival the
beautiful cities of the old world. Wau-
kesha's enterprise offers a very good
suggestion to Kenosha. There are few
cities in the state possessed of greater
natural beauty and greater possibili-
ties. The situation of the town on
the shore of the lake provides us with
splendid opportunity for a beautiful
1akeshore drive, the plateau on which
it rests, with the character and arrange
ment of it's paved streets, present the
most desirable opportunity for the
practice Of such plan as has been put
Into operation in Waukesha. We
have an usual amount of paving of an
excellent kind. The paved streets are
nearly all connected. They are we'll
built up with fine homes. Almost all
of them are lined on both sides with
shade trees. Very many of the
lawns along these routes are already
we'll kept and by far the greater num-
Der could easily be made beautiful.

THERE seems to be fatal incompa-
liability between American wealth and
European nobility. At any rate,
American l1eiresses and the scions of
the old and decadent families of
Europe do not seem to gibe. With
monotonons regularity, however, the
two are brought together and the pub
lie is RECALLED both with the amalga-
mating process and with the disrupt
ing processes that follow. 1t is all
very lovely at first. The dainty little
daughter of the American millionaire
captivates the defunct scion, the crest
of the nobility is tackled to the coach
of wealth, American money resusci-
tates the corpuscles of the impover-
ished blue blood and every thing runs
smoothly until the stimu1ous wears off
and another dose of dollars is neces-
sary to keep effete nobility on its
financial legs. Then crest and coin
have falling out and title goes off in
a huff declaring that if mere money
made gentry wants to basque in the
favor of the concentrated greatness of
half a dozen centuries, more or less, of
nobility, she must pay the price, and
The daughter comes back home asking
papa to buy a little more noble con-
sideration just for responsibilities
sake.
But it is matter of deep satisfac-
ton that all American girls are not
heiresses to the extent that they would
throw over man for a title, with a
pants-wearing attachment, a scandal
that would do justice to their ances-
tors of the time of Chas. II, a pedigree
and a line of creditors that would
reach from Liverpool to Hong Kong.

Miss LOtte OIar Disappears From the
House of Harry SeaVer and
Cannot Be Found.
SHE MAY HAVE BEEN ABDUCTED.
Girl Thirteen Years of Age the Bone of
Contention in olar Divorce Case
is Missing.

Lottie Olar, aged thirteen years, the
daughter of Frank Olar of the town of
Salem, is misteriously missing. She
disappeared from the home of Harry
Seaver, in this city, on last Tuesday
andsabso1ute1y no trace can be found
of her whereabouts. Officers are
searching for the child in Kenosha and
Chicago, but she seems to have COM
p1ete1y disappeared.
The little girl was the bone of con-
tention in the sensational divorce case
recent1yi filed by Elizabeth O1ar, of
Salem, against her husband, Frank
Olar, and the belief of O1ar is that the
child has been spirited away by the
mother in open opposition to the orders
of the court. The mother, on the
other hand, claims that the child is not
with her and that she has no know1-
edge of her whereabouts. It is posi-
bic that the family trouble was too
much for tthe little girl and she has
sought to get away from it all by rum
ming away or committing suicide, but
there is no evidence to support such an
opinion.
The Olar divorce case, which is of
most sensational nature, had it's
first hearing before Court Commits
sioner Baker OF Tuesday, and the
wife and plaintiff in the suit asked
that she be allowed the custody of her
daughter, Lottie O1ar. The husband
made fight against the child being
given to the mother, and he pre-
scented a host of afidavits show
ing that the wife and mother had been
crimina11y intimate with one William
Brown, formerly in the employ of the
Jefferson Ice company in Salem. With
these affidavits as evidence the court
decided that the child should remain in
the custody Of the father and after the
hearing he went to the Seaver home
accompanied by the Sheriff to get the
little girl.
When the officer and the father ar
rived at the home the child was not to
be found and no one seemed to know
anything about her. She had left the
house early in the morning and had
not returned. Thinking that the child
had been spirited away by the mother
and taken to Chicago, the search was
at once started in that city, but it has
proved a vain search and the little girl
is still missing. The child is bright,
we'll educated, and exceedingly pretty.
She had few friends in the city and ali
of them declare that she had not been
with them at any time since the fight
began. The mother is now living in
Chicago but the child is not with her.
It is probable that the search will
be carried out into the county, but the
father seems to think that the child is
hidden either in this city or in Chi
cago.
The divorce proceedings in which
the little girl will be the chief factor
will be heard in the near future and
the court commissioner has allowed
the woman $25 for attorneys fees.

expense and extra work, that route
could be made truly beautiful.
Moreover, there are many pretty
streets intersecting Market street ard
Prairie avenue which in time, will no
doubt, be paved. There are streets on
the north side as susceptible to beauti-
flying efforts as any on this side of the
river, which will likewise one day be
paved and probably built up with fine
homes. If the work of improving the
appearance of the city in such way is
once started it would be continued,
and these streets that are compare
lively new or ragged looking now
would soon take on the contagion and
the city might, in.the course of com
paratively short time, be converted into

The process of negro disfranchise-
ment goes steadily on IL the South.
Mississippi, Louisiana, North and
South Carolina and Maryland have
accomplished it, and Alabama and
Virginia are about to follow their ex-
ample. It is everywhere done on the
pretense of DISTINGUISHING the litter
ate vote. And it is regularly the black
| i11iterate only that is disfranchised.
| The purpose, of course, is obvious. The
black vote is naturally Republican.
Besides that there has grown up IN
many of the Southern States quite
strong Republican sentiment. AS this
becomes organized it threatens the
dominance of the Democratic party in
the South, that is, it bids fair to break
up the tSo1id South" AS large part
of the Republican vote is colored, the
easiest way to keep the present faction
uppermost is to eliminate the colored
vote. Accordingly this is done by dis
franchising illiterates. But the plan
is drawn up so as not to inperil the
Democratic supremacy by touching the
white i11iterates who are mostly Demo
Gratis.
The worst phase of the negro dis
reimbursement is its very apparent
need. There can be little doubt that
the bulk of the negroes of the South
are no more fit to vote than the bulk
of the occupants of our feeb1e-minded
homes, nor as fit as most of our school
children. Moreover, they are very
plastic and convenient material in the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS politicians,
which latter are not confined to one
party. Therefore there is only too
good reason for the nchisemento of
most of the Southern negroes. But
there is just as good reason for the dis
reimbursement of the i11iterate white,
who forms large class in the South,
as there is for the disfranchisement of
the blacks. Indeed, the white is even
more a menace than the untutored
negro. He is completely the tool of
the Democratic party, which is far
more powerful and thoroughly organ
lied institution in the South than the
Republican party. He is the means
whereby sectional politics and sectional
preiudices are kept alive.
Any one who is acquainted with the
conditions has sincere sympathy for
the Southern white of culture, but his
unpleasant condition does not justify
discrimination. His disfranchisement
act is so patent trick with so grave
possibilities that the most considerate
Southern sympathizer cannot find ap-
prova1 for an unconstitutional attempt
to retain the dividing line between
North and South and postpone the day
when the two sections shall enjoy a
perfect community Of interests and
aims.
