DAT SMUT IN WISCONSIN

Bulletin No. 81, recently issued by
the Experiment Station, Madison, is of
great importance to Wisconsin farm
-ers. This bulletin shows that last
season the farmers of our State lost
over $4,000, 900 through damages caused
by oat smut. Many farmers who
thought there was no oat,smut in their
field lost from to 20 per cent. of the
crop from this cause. The bulletin
tells how, through the use of a chemi-
cal which can be obtained at any drug
store, seed oats may be treated so as to
entirely prevent smut, Such treat
ment costssbut one cent per bushe1 of
seed, and is easily applied. The bu1le-
tin will be sent free to all farmers
upon request. Address, Agricultural
Experiment. Station, Madison, Wis,
asking for bulletin No. 81.

THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1902.

THE people of the city have nobody
TO blame but themselves for the pres
ent condition of the city affairs. Is i
not because the great majority have
been in the past neglectful OF their
duties as citizens that the gang has
been so long in power. Any citizen
who neglects to attend his party eau
Gus and do his level best to see that
only good, honest, reliable men are
nominated for Office, has no right tc
complain if things don't go to suit him
Standing around and kicking after
the election is over will do no good
but little active interest manifested
in the affairs of the city by the ele
ment that generally, as they express i
'1eave politics to the politicians
might accomplish wonders.

Pleasant Prairie and SOmers People
Seek Annexation to KenOsha
Monday Evening.
STREET VACATION GOES OVER
Ordinance Must be Passed by the Council
Before Old Main Street is Vacated
Want Summer Street Vacated.

Kenosha will have an addition of
two hundred people in the next few
weeks, for at the City Council meeting
Monday evening two petitions were
presented, asking that suburbs be an
nexed to the city. One was from
Pleasant Prairie, just south of the city
on Pleasant street, and the other was
in the town of Somers ard just west of
the Eighth ward.
The petition from the people of
pheasant Prairie will bring large
number of new inha bitants into the
city. The tract of land in question is
thickly populated, and is largely given
over to the homes of working men who
are DESTROYS of securing the benefits of
city life.
The tract in Somers for which the
people are seeking admission to the
city lies to the west of the present city
limits, and comprises all the land east
of the river and bounded on the north
and south by Bronson and Broad
streets. The two tracts of land will
probably be annexed as soon as the
work of annexation can be carried on
with due process of law.
The trustees of the German Luthe-
ran church sent petition to the Coun-
Gil Monday evening asking that the
church be granted rebate of taxes
paid on church property. It was shown
that the Assessor had no right to levy
the tax against the church property,
and the City Treasurer was ordered TO
draw a check for the amount.
There is pretty fight on between
the residents of Lake avenue in re-
gard toa sewer, which is said to be
sadly needed on the avenue and at the
meeting Monday evening both a petit
ton for and remonstrance against
the sewer were presented. Both were
referred to the committee on sewers,
and they will make an effort to un-
Itangle the matter.
Street vacation seems to be the fad
in Kenosha at the present time, and
the latest street wanted for private
use is Summer street, little street in.

IF A MAN, or a woman either, for
that matter, wishes to express his or
her sentiments through the column of
a newspaper, all well and good; but
the paper cannot reasonably be ex-
pected to father their screeds. If they
so lack the courage of their convic-
tions as to be ashamed to sign their
names, how do they expect their opin-
ions to have any weight with the
editor or anybody else?
Letters and articles about matters
of general interest to the community
signed with the writer's name as an
evidence of good faith are always well
come in newspaper Office, and to
such communications the columns of
the paper are always open.
This Office has been in receipt during
the last few days, however, of various
letters attacking the reputation of sew
era1 of our citizens. The letters, after
making certain charges, go on to state
that serious trouble is brewing"
We hope that when the explosion
takes place the writer will have the
courage to come forward openly with
the charges and give the accused an
opportunity to defend himself. We
have always regarded the anonymous
letter writer's as about the meanest OIL
Gods created creatures anyway, and
recent developments have not changed
our opinion in the least.

Chicago Ice Companies Give up the
Work in This County After a
Great Season.
COMPANIES MUST PAY TAXES
Account is Kept of Every Car of Ice Shipped
Out of the County and Companies Will
be Forced to Pay Taxes.

Ice cutting in Kenosha is at an end
and the big gangs of men who have
been living in the low shacks along
the lakes for the last four months have
closed up their hcmes and returned to
Chicago and Milwaukee to spend the
money made during the cutting sea-
son. The ice harvest for this winter
is the greatest known in the history of
the ice business in Kenosha county,
and one of the managers of the big
companies stated Tuesday that more
than three hundred Thousand tons of
ice had been cut on the lakes during
the season.
On account of the extreme cold
weather at times the ice froze quickly
and to thickness of twelve to fifteen
inches. In most sinstances it is as
clear as crystal and as pure as ice can
be.
The Kenosha companies have secur-
ed their ice at the lakes and it is now
stored in special housess awaiting the
summer demand. It is not thought
that any effort will be made TO start an
ice war in this city during the coming
year, and the same prices will prevail
as prevailed during the year just
passed. It is stated that the State of
fcials have worked a clever ruse on
the Chicago Ice Companies, and while
they have been shipping ice out Of the
State without paying the State license
it is claimed that the compa mics will
be called to account when the Supreme
Court decides on the case.
Every carload of ice that has been
shipped out of the county has been
properly accounted for, and when the
decision comes the state will be in po-
sition to bring suit against the com
pany to collect every centof the license
due. The ice companies had not been
expecting this move and had shipped
the ice without any restraint.
Every one Of the ten thousand cars
of ice shipped by the companies to Ill
inois and Indiana cities must be ac-
counted for, and if the law is decided
in the favor Of the state the companies
will be forced to pay license taxes to
the amount of several thousand dollars.

THE shipping interests of the city
are very much disappointed at the fail
ure of the committee having the River
and Harbor bill IN charge to provide
funds for the completion of the work at
this point. The sum asked, in COM
parison with the amount already ex-
pended, was small, and should have
been allowed. In order to make this
port real harbor of refuge, as was the
original intention when the improve
ments were undertaken, the outer
breakwater will have to be extended
sufficiently to prevent the northeast
seas from washing into the harbor.
Sooner or later the work will have to
be done. On account of the present
unfinished condition of the outer break
water, instead of being considered as a
haven Of refuge, Kenosha harbor is
regarded by sailors generally as good
place to keep away from in heavy
sea.

IKE A TERRIBLE CYCLONE gri

Y Ike "A TERRIBLE CYCLONE grip
bacillus has passed over our coun-
try, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
leaving behind 1t dark cloud of an
guish and despair.
Catarrh follows grip as effect follows
cause.
A multitude Of catarrh victims will
spring up in the trail Of the awful cpl
demic Of grip that has just passed over
our fair country.
The hope to these people is Peruna.
Most people know this already.
Everyone who has had the least touch
OF grip, should not fail to take course
Of treatment with Peruna.
Peruna eradicates every vestige of the
disease and leaves the system in q nor

Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman
from Illinois, writes from the National
Hotel, Washington, D. c., as follows:
".After giving Peruna fair trial can
cheeriu1ly recommend your remedy to
anyone suffering with coughs, colds, la
grippe and all catarrhal complaints."-

WITH any kind of an effort the Re-
publican party ought to carry every
ward in the city at the coming munich
pal election.
If the party is to be successful, how
ever, it must carefully select the cam
didates for the various Offices. None
but men of highest integrity compe-
tent to transact the business of the
city in a busines-like manner should
be nominated.
There are plenty of men in the ranks
of the party, who are honest and capa-
BILE. Nominate them, and the result
of the election is foregone con-
clusion. We have come to the parting
of the ways. Either the citizens and
tax payers must confess themselves
helpless under the domination of one
of the most corrupt gangs that ever
plundered and disgraced any city, or
they must sweep them from power at
the next election.
The Democratic party can not dodge
the responsibility for the acts of the
gang. 1t nominated and elected these
men to office, and must stand or fall
on their record. If the Republican
party rises to the occasion and nomi-
mates men who have the confidence of
the community, it will undoubtedly re-
ceive the support of many Democrats
who have the best interests of the city
at heart.
AS one prominent and lifelong Dem
ocrat, who is something of politician
himself, said the other day: Although
we are going to try, fear it will be
impossible for us to do much at our
caucuses. The gang is so powerful
and so.well organized that they will see
that their friends are on our ticket
but we look to the Republican party to
give us'good men to vote for wher
election day comes"

Two years ago up TO the time of the
meeting of the State convention White
head was a candidate for the nomina-
ton for governor.
Placing party harmony above per-
sona1 ambition and believing that the
nomination of La Toilette would unite
the party and put an end to the bitter
factional fight which had disrupted the
Republican party for years, he refused
to permit his name to go before the
convention.
He did this in spite of the protests
of his friends who believed that he
had good chance to secure the nonli-
nation. The adherents of La Toilette
who are making desperate efforts to
belitt1e Whitehead and check the
spread of the movement in his favor
which is gaining ground so rapidly
throughout the State are fond of re.
ferring to him as weak man.
They ought to give him credit for be-
ing strong enough to resist the tefnpta-
tor to contest with La Toilette for
the nomination in the convention of
1900.
Up to that time La Toilette had been
defeated in every state convention
since 1894, and there is no good reason
to suppose that it was impossible for
Whitehead, or some other Republican
of good standing, to defeat him then;
but it was the belief of the leaders of
the party that the only way to secure
harmony was to nominate La Toilette.
After the nomination had been made
Whitehead Loyalty supported La Fol
1ette, and did all in his power to insure
the success of his party at the polls.
If the conditions had been reversed
and Whitehead instead of La Toilette
nominated, in view of his past record,
does any follower of the present Gov
ernor honestly believe that he would
have remained loyal to his party and
supported the nominee7

DEATH OF MRS. LUoIUs LEE.
Wife Of the Well Known tKenosha Mission
ary Expired in Marash. Turkey.


Wife of the Well Known .Kenosha Mission
ary Expired in Marash, Turkey.
A letter was received here this morn
ing announcing the death of Mrs.
Harriet Lowell Ham1iu Lee, wife of
the Rev. Lucius 0. Lee, formerly of
the town of Somers, and a niece of the
late Col. Fred S. Lowell. The death
of Mrs. Lee occurred at Marash,
Turkey, where she was acting as a
missionary, early in January. Her
husband, who is the President of the
Theological Seminary at Marash, had
left home and gone for five days
evangelical journey and when he
reached his destination he was appris
ed of the death of his wife.
The deceased was the daughter OF
the Rev. Cyrus Ham1in, and was born
at Bebek, near Constantinop1e, Turkey
March 3, 1853. She was married te
Mr.. Lee Aug. 20, 1889, and since that
time she has been his assistant in the
missionary work at Marash.
Mrs. Lee was wonderful woman
and had done much to advance the
cause of missions in the orient. She
was at Marash at the time of the Ar
menian massacres, and the house ir
which she was living was burned Il
the ground by the Turks in their eff
fort to root out Christianity. The re
mains were inferred with due cere
mony at the Christian cemetery al

Court Commissioners Holds Against the
State In the Habeas Corpus Pro-
ceedings This Morning.
HEARING is BITTERLY CONTESTED
Attorneys Do Not Mince Words In Their
Fight for Person of Accused Man
Denies That He was In Custody.

Court Commissioner Myron L. Baker
| ruled in favor of Ex-A1derman John
Caster in the hearing on the writ of
habeas corpus held in his court this
morning, and to the spectators who
heard the argument in the case there
seems to be reason to believe that Gas
ter may escape trial on the writ.
The answer of the sheriff to the pc
tition of Caster for the writ was the
bone of contention at the session of
court this morning, and on this an
swer the fight is being made.
In the answer the Sheriff alleged
that Caster was not in custody, as he
had been surrendered by but one of
his bondsmen, and that the other
still held him in custody. A long
argument was made on this point
and the Commissioner finally decided
the matter in favor of Caster, holding
that the fact that he was present in
court with the Sheriff and one of his
bondsmen at the time of the issue of
the writ was sufficient to show that he
had been surrendered to the custody of
the county officials.
This was the first defeat for the
State in the case and they then de-
manded ruling on the point as to the
su6iciency of the petition to grant the
writ. This resulted in another victory
for Caster the court holding that the
petition was sufficient to allow the
issue of The writ.
The argument this morning was of
fiery nature and it seemed that
neither of the attorneys were willing
to mince words over the matter, and at
times the satire was of Almost bitter
nature. The trial of the case created
quite little stir in legal circles and
many of the people interested in the
case were present to lister to the ar.
gument. The hearing will probably
be concluded late this afternoon.
During the morning the petition for
the quashing of the warrant against
Gustav L. Clausen was not mentioned
and it will not be taken up until the
Caster case is settled.

Miss Emily Milburne, President Of the

the Grip and have been quickly restored
to health by Peruna.
Mr.. Nicolas F. Rossiter, Of 463 Nor

attack of the Grip, was very sick and
under the physicians care. He, like
many others, passed the acute stage but
did not receive strength. Peruna not
only quickly restored him to his former
health, but to much better health than
he has had for years. He gives Peruna
all the praise.
