COURT SCENE
County Court Declared Him, Insane,
but He Holds to- the
Contrary. q

Special to The Journal. H.. .-.. -.-
Kenosha, Wis, March 20.-There was a
pathetic scene in the circuit court here
to-day when Judge Belden refused to al
low Attorney Henry Weismann, one of
the oldest and best known attorneys in
the state, to plead a case before the
court. Some months ago Mr.. Weismann
was declared insane in the county court,
but he insisted that the charges had been
brought by enemies and has since at
tempted to have the disability removed.
Weismann, made no reply to his Danish
ment, but left the courtroom and went to
his farm home. 1t is probable that some
action will be taken to have the attorney
placed under restraint. ,. ..

SEEKING THEIR DAUGHTER
Parents of Clara Olsen--A Letter
From Her I.Over. ~


The family Of Miss Clara A. Olsen,
who left home nine days days ago, has
heard nothing from the girl, though it is
thought she may have gone to Winona, to
which place letter for her has been adj
dressed. The members Of the family are
especially anxious to find her as letter
has been received which will entirely
clear UP the matter which is thought to
have caused her to leave home.
1t will be remembered that she was said
to have left in order not to stand in the
way of the love of her sister for a young
man who was formerly soldier in the
Philippines and whom Clara also thought
a great deal of. The letter referred to is
from this young man, and is frank and
outspoken declaration of affection for the
missing girl. Ill.,.
What is more, Clara's sister Bertha, in
whose interests Clara left home, declares
positively that she is not specially inter-
ested, as asserted, in the young man, and
that she would do anything in the world
to get her sister back. l.
In the light Of all this it is hoped that
the missing girl will quickly return home.

That "American Invasion"

There has been great deaI said in all the
European papers and especially in England
regarding the american INVASION While in
London 1 was in the office of John and Jo-
seph Drysdale,. who are large dealers In
Buenos Aires, and while I was there the
manager of the Office had just received photo
graphs from the Argentine house Of the firm
of a trainload of twenty-eight cars of agri-
cultural implements, including threshers and
binders, which they were sending to the
southern part of the Argentine. - Out Of the
twenty-eight cars there were only two
loaded with English machinery. T..

Seeking Investment Abroad.

English capitalists are seeking investments
in manufacturing interests outside Of their
own country, and there seems to be general
feeling that it is dangerous to invest money
in factories IN England until the labor ques-
ton is settled.
The American manufacturers Of harvesters
and binders are doing the largest business in
Europe that Is done by any Of the agricul-
tural implement concerns, although great
many of the smaller implements are sold all
over Europe-more Of every other class than
American <threshing machines. Nearly all the
American harvester companies now have
branch houses in Europe running indepen

Bulgaria, RouInania and all southern Rus
STA, especially in the Crimea and in eau
scasfa, are large ,Wheat-raising districts and
undoubtedly the, largest increase in wheat
raising of any place In Europe will be there.
That part of the country compares favorably
with the territory tributary to Minneapolis.
There is also great deal of wheat grown
in Asia Minor, but the only way for Ameri-
cans to get that trade is to go there and
look after It themselves. 1 do not think
they can trust to jobbing houses any longer
and make a success Of it. Even then, they
have a great deal of superstition to contend
with, as there seems to be an idea in that
country that 1t, is wrong to make work easy.
An American there, who handles plows, told
me that he went out in the country to show
man how nice his pow would work, ana
how much easier it was both for man ana
horses than the old fashioned pillow in use.
All this was admitted but the man would
not buy because he said he was afraid that

The ASIATIC'S FEAR.
That He Will Make His Farming
Too Easy
THAT, HE BELIEVES. is WRONG
AS a Result, Says Walter Gregory,
He Won't Buy American
Farming Implements.

Walter Gregory, who returned few
days ago from a business trip to south
eastern Europe, found business conditions
in the Balkan states in most satisfactory
shape; but he also discovered that local
and national prejudice was operating
against the sale of American agricultural
implements, and that the American sales
men were compelled-to combat a prevail
ing superstition that it is wrong to make
work easy, and that the Deity would pun
ish a man who used improved machinery
by destroying his crops. The point of
view is somewhat peculiar, but Mr.. Greg
DRY believes that it can be overcome.
When seen this morning he said:
My visit to Europe was partly on pleasure
and partly for bustness-especially to look
after business done by the company in Rou-
mania and to find out what were the pros
poets for doing more.
Ifound things greatly changed since 1896.
At that time, business in agricultural i'm

was2done almost exclusively by jobbers Now,
most Of the companies doing any great

manufactures and more especially. Think on
account Of the trouble they are having in
England with labor organizations.

 The rapid trend to mere commercialism should be checked in no unmistakable manner. Progressive business methods are to be desired. but the 'old time law yer" in his exalted character. his digni- fled demeanor, is not to be despised.
 There Is a growing cancer which must be checked. in order that the dignity and honor of the profession may be fully pre- served I refer to the effort being made in the solicitation of business and the use of the lawyer to obtain the same. There are various associations and firms. as well as individuals, who are solicitors in trade. seeking the names of prospective claimants or litigants, and their causes of action, stpulating for a division of fees. The complaint is loud and ominous that in certain localities, railroad wrecks and other accidents are visited with marked punctuality by a class of law yers end their advance agents. This degrading tendency must not be tolerated.

Mir. H. J. whitcomb of The Evergreen Record, sends to The Advertiser the pie ture of J. B. Stickney, of Mazomanle
 Wis, and the following sketch Of nlm from The Milwaukee Journal:
 Milwaukee now has population or oVo'- 900 people and in all that large numoer there are probably more dependent upon the railroad pay roll than.to be found in any other single line of employment. In the fact of such a statement 1t seems rather strange to find right among us man who was an active railroad worker in the days when there were only three such in the city and one of those was freuuently sent outside to keep him busy. Still. this is so J. B.
