SILVER GRAY DORKING COCK.

If not the oldest. There are no definite
records to show when it first lived In
England, or whence it came, but the
supposifion is that it was carried to
England by the Romans, who evident
ly possessed fowls of similar charac.
teristics.
The chief distinctive mark of the
breed is the presence of a fifth or su
pernumerary toe, springing behind, a
little above the foot and below the
spur. 1t has been sought by various
writers to deprive Dorking of the
honor of being the original and prin-
cipaTrearing place of this justly cele.
brated variety, and it is asserted that
the true Dorking fowls are raised at
Horsham, Cuckfeld. and other places
in the Weald of Surrey, and that the
ancient and superior white fowls from
Dorking are a degenerated race COM
pared with the improved Sussex
breed. The feature in which this bird
is most popular is its table qualities.
The flesh is white and very delicate in
texture. 1t is claimed by many to
equal if not excel the French varieties.
The broad, deep and projecting
breast of the Dorking admirably fits it
for table purposes, and in this respect
it is conceded by some the rival of the
Indian Games. AS layers the Dorkings
are good, and are careful %sitters and
attentive mothers They are splendid
fowls for the farm and are profitable
for practical purposes.
There are three varieties of Dork.
ings-the White, Silver Gray and
colored. The White Dorking is really
the purest blooded of the three, as for
years this was the only variety which
produced invariably the fifth toe.

Notice has been received at the

persons who have found objects be-
longing to the Andree polar expedi-

aside for rewards for persons who may
hereafter find objects from the expe-

THE DORKING BREED.
For General Purposes II Is Highly
Recommended by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

This English bird is one which may
be considered an ideal bird for gen.
eral purposes, says a bulletin of the
department of agriculture. 1t is a
hardy fowl and can stand almost any
mount of cold weather, providing the
ground is not damp. This is proved
northern part of Scotland and in the
extreme north of Ireland, among the
Cumberland hills, and in other places
equally as cold and exposed. This
should be remembered by those who
contemplate raising them, that the
soil must not be damp if success is ex-
pected with them. The Dorking il

LOvewell's Pond.

One of the most fierce and sanguin-
ary fights between the Indians and the
early American settlers occurred at a
small lake near the village of Frye
burg, Me. Led by Capt. John Lovewell,
from whom the pond derives its name,
the colonists succeeded in repuising the
savages, after great loss of life. Their
bravery has been commemorated in
tradition and poetry.

First Term of the Circuit Court Under
Judge BeIden Promises to be
Record Breaker.
CASTER CASE is TO BE TRIED.
This One Criminal Case Will Furnish all

Judge.-Attorneys to Give Welcome.

The first term of the Circuit Court
of Kenosha county, at which Judge E..
B. Be1den will preside as Judge, will
open early in next month and from
the present indica tons it will be one
of the shortest, if not the shortest
term ever held in the county. The at
torneys of the city are planning to
give the new Judge a warm welcome
to the bench, and most of the term
will be given over to the Judge and
the attorneys getting acquainted. The
usual number of old "stand by'' cases
will be seen on 9the calendar, but at
present bit one important case has a
possibility of coming up for trial.
This is the case of the State VS.. John
Caster, charged with accepting a
bride. Every effort has been made by
ter dropped, but the City Attorney has
proved deaf to all the appeals of the

certainly be called. It is thought that

have been moving Heaven and earth
to prevent the case coming to trial. and
it is stated that many of the support
ers of Caster are of the opinion that
he will be made a scape goat for the
entire gang of alleged boodlers and
will be forced to take upon himself the
punishment for them all.
Caster has been at work at Zion
City for some time aud is evidently not
worrying over the outcome of the case.
In the meantime the District Attorney
is getting the volumes of evidence in
the case in shape to present to the jury
and the case promises several sur
prises. On account of the few cases
scheduled for trial it is probable that
the Caster case will be the first case
on the calendar called for trial. Gas
ter will be defended by Attorney Firth
man, of Chicago, and by Mcdowell
and Kroncke, of this city.
It is limited that number of the
old Seery SANDER suits will be brought
before the court during the coming
term but as yet no notice for trial has
been filed in any of these cases. The
attorneys have been ready for trial on
the cases for more than two years, but
there has been some difficulty in find
ing judge who was not acquainted
with the facts in the suits. Judge
Belden being new to the bench is
probably qualified to hear these cases.

Judge Seaman, of the United States
Court, Grants the Kenosha C0un-
ty Woman New Sort of Divorce.
HER DEBTS AGGREGATE $4,000.
Creditors Make no Opposition TO Her Dis
charge as a Bankrupt and the Judge
Orders the Discharge

Mrs. Grace Snel1-Cofin-C Coffin Walk
er-Coffin got new sort of Iii
vorce in the United States court al
Milwaukee Monday when Judge Sea
man managed to order a decree enter
ed which will discharge her as bank
rupt and relieve her from the payment
of vast amount of debts that have
been contracted during the last few
years. In this last divorce Mrs. Coffin
has changed her tactics and has ac-
copied alimony-a magnificent ali
mony, in fact, aD alimony amounting
to nearly fifty-four thousand dollars,
and the creditors who are pretty we'll
scattered over Wisconsin and Illinois,
will have to pocket the losses and be
glad that they were no more. The
butcher, the baker and cand estick
maker, as we'll as the man who made
the dainty cigarettes with the mono
grams on, and the man in New York
who sold the diamonds, will have to
stand on equal footing and hope to
make good the losses of the past by
the sales of the future.
Not single dividend has been paid
to the creditors, and it is stated that
there was absolutely no property from
which to pay dividend. The home
stead of Mrs. Coffin in the town OF
Salem, is mortgaged for almost as
much as it is worth, and the creditors
decided that they would bow the knee
to beauty and allow her to secure an
absolute divorce from her debts with
out opposition. The losses to the peo-
pie in Kenosha county through the
failure will probably be very small for
it was the happy faculty of Mrs. COT
fin to pay the debts which were con-
tracted a bout her home in Salem. Out
Of the fifty-four thousand dollars it is
probable that less than a thousand
dollars is due to creditors in this coun-
ty. The bulk of the debt is due to
the estate of Amos Smell and this debt
will probably be paid when the estate
is finally settled.
While Mrs. Coffin has been discharg-
ed as bankrupt, is is not believed by
all that she is a pauper, as her portion
Of the Shell estate is estimated at
nearly half million dollars, but this
can never be taken by the creditors
after the order for her discharge has
been issued.
This order will be placed on record
within few days and the matter is
now practically out of the hands of the
court. Mrs. Coffin is at present in
Chicago, but she will return to her
home in Salem with the first zephyrs

Bankruptcy Of Mrs. Grace Coffin &C.
ments the Friendship of Two
Old Kenosha Farmers.
THEY BOTH HAD A PROTECTORATE
AS Suitors For the Favor of Mrs. Cothn
They Become Enemies But Feeling of
Mutual Loss Makes Them Friends.

The old adage 'a fellow feeling
makes us wondrous kind" had splen-
did exempli6cation in Kenosha Tues
dav afternoon when two old farmers
residing near the State line met IN the
city and c1asped hands in hand shake
reconciliation.
There had been feud between the
two men for some time, according to
ali reports, and the feud was engen-
dered on account of the fact that Mrs.
Grace Smell Coffin took an equal inter
terest in the two men. The two had
never come to blows, but it looks
would have killed both would have
long since been sleeping with the ST.
lent ma jority.
The two men resided in the neigh
borhood OF Mrs. Cofin's summer home
on Grass lake. Crowley supplied the
milk for the Cofindhome and Culver
was the purveyor of chickens and eggs
for Mrs. Coffin. A little code of sig
nails had been arranged for the con-
venience of the farmers and their fa1r
customer and whenever Mrs. Coffin
wanted anything she simply ran up a
little flag signal on the flag staff OF
her summer cottage and the men hur-
ried to supply her needs.
A rivalry grew up between the two
men and one day Mrs. Coffin got the
signals mixed and there was clash
between the rivals at the Coffin home.
The two men left the house sworn
enemies and short time after this the
differences between them were made
greater when Mrs. Coffin met Crowley
on the road and asked him to. ride IN
her carriage Culver saw the occur
renee and was wild with envy, but a
few days later he more than made up
for it all, he taking long drive with
Mrs. Coffin and being permitted to sit
on the front seat of the vehicle while
the dainty widow handled the reins.
From this on all communication be-
tween the two men was cut off and
both continued to hold a sort of pro-
tectorate over Mrs. Coffin.
When the latter became bankrupt
a short time ago both had small &C
counts against the lady and the pro-
tectorate failed to bring them their
money. However, it brought the old
farmers together again for after the
court had announced that Mrs. Coffin
would be discharged as a bankrupt
they met in Kenosha and each greeted
the other with out stretched hand. 1t
was a case of misery loving company
and the two men forgot all the old
differences and decided to spend the
rest of their declining years as sworn
friends.

MISS ELLEN M. STONE, the Ameri-
can missionary who was captured by
brigauds on the third of last Septem-
Der, has at last been released. Great
fear for her safety was felt at first
throughout the United States, but it
soon became evident that her captors
would not harm her as long as there
was hope of a ransom. The brigands
demanded the sum of $112,500 for her
release. Considerable surprise and
disgust'was manifested throughout the
country when it became known that
the American Board of Foreign Mis-
sous, which was primarily responsible
for her being placed in such danger
Gus position, had refused to'take any
action to raise and pay the ransom on
the ground that..to do gsoswou1d estat-
1ish a dangerous precedent and that
none of their missionaries would be
safe from capture in the future. The
board speedily changed its tone when
it realized the weight of public disap-
prevail, and, the seriousness of the sit
uation being made evident when the
brigands served notice that unless the
pursuers were called off and the ran
som paid before a certain date, the
captive missionary and her ompauion
would be murdered, appealed to the
American people for funds. The pub
lie, although it questioned the wisdom
and propriety of the board in exposing
a woman to such dangers, responded
literally to the appeal and fund of
$4,000 was raised to pay the ransom.
The fund has now been paid to the
brigands and the missionary released.
Now that Miss Stone is safe from
harm the government will probably
make demands upon either the Turkish
or Bulgarian authorities for the return
of the money and the punishment of
her captors.
