AGRICULTURE ON THE RETRO
 GRADE.

The close observer of things is not at much trouble to see that the agricultural interests of this part of the country is rapidly on the decline Me have very few scientific farmers, now, and no sort of Farmers institutes or clubs where the subject Is dis cussed, or any effort made to ad vance its condition. Ne have lapsed from the spirit Of gener- ous rivalry and emulation of the ten year or so ago period to the slip shod style of thirty years ago. Several causes have con trihuted to this result, chief among them, is the scarcity of farm labor and the wholesale slaughter of the forest trees for mercantile purposes-sueh as slaves, ties and sawed lumber. Many of our best farmers have abandoned their farms, and gone to work for the big saw mills; while those who remain seem to have lost interest and make no effort to improve their land or beautify their homes. They are dissatisfied with their lot in life and become careless to their surroundings and aimless- ly plod through life.

The marshal claimed that Chcairs was trying to burn the cotton and when Nr.

Mrs. Herbert CrandaII Claims That
Her Brother, Nick Williams,
Died From Neglect.
SHE DEMANDS AN INVESTIGATION
minneapolis Lady Comes to Kenosha TO
Investigate Death of Brother-Death
sad Blow TO His Relatives.
(From Mondays Daily.)

Mrs. Herbert Crandall, of Minneap-
make some investigation into the death
of her brother, Nicholas Williams,
which occurred some days ago at the
city poOrhouse and the lady has stated
that she will make an effort to hold the
city liable for the death of the man.
Williams died on last Thursday and it
was alleged that his death resulted
from acute alcoholism. Mrs. Cranda11
is unwilling to believe that this was
the cause of the death of the man and
she insists that his death was partly,
if not largely, the result of negl, ct
In speaking Of the matter this morn
ing the lady was most bitter in her de-
nunciation of the manner in which
Williams had been cared for at the
city poorhouse. She claims the Off
GERS of the city we're well aware of the
fa ct that she had offered her brother a
home and that they refused to notify
her of his condition until after his
death had occurred. She states that
she has discovered that when the City
Council did appoint man to take care
of Williams the matron of the poor
house refused to allow the man to
come into the poorhouse and that Will
1iams was left to die alone without
proper care and attention.
Mrs. Crandal1 hints that the death of
Williams may not have resulted from
alcoholism. She states that she has
discovered that only few days before
his death and just before he was taken
to the county jail on charge Of in
toxication Williams had appeared at a
saloon on the North side. According
to the statement of his sister the man
was perfectly sober at the time, but
had been suffering from some stomach
trouble which made it impossible for
him to take solid food. One of the
men in the saloon gave Williams
glass of Rhine wine and moment
later the man was stretched out stiff
on the floor of the saloon. The sister
does not claim that the wine was
drugged, but she says that the occur
renee was a very peculiar one and will
ask that it beinvestigated.
The remains of Williams are still at
the Krichbaum morgue and no effort
will be made to bury them until Mrs.
CrandalI is satisfied as to the cause of
the death of the man.
The city officials state that the
claims of Mrs. Crandal1 are ground1ess
and that Williams had the same care
full attention that is accorded to any
other inmate of the city poorhouse.
It isshard to see just what claim Mrs.
Cranda11 would have against the city
and in stating her case she did not
state how she intended to hold the city
liable. Her only recourse would be a
suit for neglect and it is not probable
that such caseswou1d be entertained
by nyscourt.
