This is certainly an excellent place
to begin operations by pledging the
next Legislature to a certain policy.
This course has been suggested
before and after the convention fails
the party leaders have informed the
papers that the next Legislature
win speedily remedy the defect.
After the Legislature without at
tending to the matter It IL then
passed up to the next State conven-
ton
It IL just this sort Of thing that is
causing the dissatisfaction among the
newspapers and the Appeal thinks
that an open agitation of the quest

about some results 1t is certain that
for several years q private discussion
Of the matter among party men has
resulted in nothing.
The most undesirable legislation Ut
any is the law compelling four times
the amount of work to be done on
the tax roll with no increase Of pay.
The Appeal cannot be charged with
self interest in this matter, as under
the new law publishers who cannot
do the work by setting it by hand
send the work to the Appeal to have
it done by machinery; Under this
system the Appeal finds that its pro

CORN CROP REPORTED FAIR.

Per Cent. in Corn Belt is 81. In Other
Districts 60. Potatoes Range From Al Up.
Secretary Of Agriculture John M.
True issued his report yesterday, IN
which it appears that neither corn nor
potatoes have suffered as greatly as
has been supposed.
The special report is as follows:
Corn-In making our report upon
the corn crop we divide the state in
two districts, the first including what
may be considered the corn belt Of the
state, and including Columbia, Craw-
ford, Dane, Dodge, Grant, Green,
Iowa, Jefferson, Lafayette, Milwaukee,
Ozaukee, Racine, Ric.lland, Rock,
Sank, Walworth, Washington and
Waukesha Counties, which in 1900 had
939,781 acres Of corn, and produced
IS, 1893, 700 bushels Of grain, and the
second district contains the remainder
Of the state which in 1900 had 557, 6o3
acres Of corn, producing 1926, 100
bushels Of grain. In the first men
toned district, the percentage of corn,
upon basis of 100 is 81 per cent. The
difference in the quality of crop would
undoubtedly be greater than figures
here given.
| Potatoes In 1900 there were 256, 931
acres of potatoes in the state, produ-
cling q ,641, 498 bushels.
Of this acreage Portage, Waupaca
and Waushara counties had 70,282
acres and raised 5,456,635 bushels Of
potatoes, nearly one-fourth the entire
crop of the State.
These counties now report the pros
pective yield of n per cent. of frll
crop.
The counties of Adams, Columbia,
Dunn, Juneau, Marathon, Milwaukee,
Sank and Waukesha each, in 1900, had
an acreage of more than 5000 acres,
with an aggregate yield of 5,672, 293
bushels.
These counties now report an esti-
mated yield of "A per cent. of full
crop, and the remainder of the State
so per cent.
Considerable uncertainty exists as
to the extent to which rotting may
continue, the present warm wet wea-
Their being unfayorable for crops.

THE LYCEUM COURSE.
Hecker's Ladies'. Orchestra Open the Y M.
G. A. Course Before a Large Audience

Hecker's Ladies'. Orchestra Open the Y. M.
G. A. Course Before a Large Audience
Prof. Joseph Hecker's Ladies'
orchestra gave the initial program of
the Lyceum course before a large and
select audience at the Rhode opera
house Tuesday night, the attendance
being the largest yet reached by the
Star course. The program as whole
was most favorably received, although
the first part was not varied enough
for best effect.
The solo work and quartet selections
by the Hecker children were the most
popular numbers of the program, es-
pecially the cello number by Miss
Bertha Hecker and the violin solo by
Mr.. Carl Hecker, these ranking with
the best ever given here. The orches-
ira responded literally with encores,
both classical and popular selections
being literally app1auded.
The orchestra may be criticised for
lacking in fu1lness of tone and in snap
and vigor of expression. This defect,
however, was overcome by the beauty
and exquisite harmony produced in the
serenade selections. The chorus sing
ing was the surprise of the program,
two encores, "Annie Laurie" and
Kentucky Babe" being given. The
novel selection of the evening, "The
Tramp" by the entire orchestra, was
vigorously applauded. The program
given was as follows:

Report In Regard to Training School.

Admiral Taylor Sends to Secretary Moody
Report In Regard to Training School.
Secretary Moody has received the re-
port of the board appointed by Cong
ress to examine and report on a suit
able site for a training station on the
great lakes. The board, of which
Rear Admiral Henry G. Taylor, chief
of the bureau of navigation, is presi-
dent, suggests site on the shore of
the southern half of Lake Michigan
about twenty-five miles above the
forty-second degree of latitude. The
site includes the city of Muskegon on
the Michigan side ndMilwaukee on the
Wisconsin side. Secretary Moody will
submit the report to Congress with the
recommendation that $3.50, 900 be APP
propriated for purchasing the property
and for the preliminary work on the
establishment of the station.
The report also gives detailed his
tory of the work of the commission
and of the different places visited by
the board. The report does not make
any direct suggestions as to the site
but in this regard it is copy of the
report made many months ago and
Kenosha and Waukegan as well as
several of the cities on the other side
of the lake still have a chance to Sc
cure possession of the much coveted
government institution.

Hospital Association Directors An
nOunce That Institution is Nearly
Ready For Patients.
MISS HALL FOR SUPERINTENDENT
Many Applications Have Been Received
For Places In the Hospital and 1t VIII
Start Out With Several Patients.

The board of directors of the Keno
sha Hospital Association held a spec
ial meeting Tuesday night Incomplete
arrangements for the opening of the
hospital. AS result of the meeting
it is announced that the hospital will
be opened for the reception of patients
on or about the fifteenth of the mouth.
The work of rebuilding the hospital
is nearly completed and it will be
turned over to the board of directors
before the end of the present week.
Nearly thousand dollars has been
spent III the repairs and the directors
are enthusiastic over the splendid ar
engagements that have been made. The
hospital has been inspected by many
OF the physicians and hospital stewards
from other cities and all who have
visited the house declare that better
arrangement could not have been made
for small hospital. The neatness
and the air of cleanliness about the
place especially appeals to those inter-
ested in hospital work and the hand of
the women of the board is distinctly
noticeable in the arrangement of the
building.
The furniture for the hospital has
been bought and is now stored await
ing the time when the carpenters and
builders turn the building over to the
directors. The equipment for the
operating room is most complete and
was purchased under the direction of
the committee of doctors who are as
sisting the board of directors in secur-
ing the opening of the institution.
AS yet no one has been semployed to
act as housekeeper but at the meeting
of the board last night Miss Olive Hall
Of Milwaukee, nurse of long exper-
fence, was secured to act as superin-
tendent of the hospital.
Miss Hall will hold the position of
superintendent and will also be the
head nurse at the hospital. She re-
ceived her training in the hospitals of
Milwaukee and was in charge of the
operating room in the Milwaukee hos
pital for nearly two years. She will
come to Kenosha on the fifteenth of
the month and will personally take
charge of the arrangement of the
rooms in the hospital. Other nurses
will be employed by the board Of di.
rectors as they are needed for the care
Of patients.
There is little doubt but that the
hospital will have many patients from
the opening day. The board of direct
Iors has already received an applica-
ton from one patient in Kenosha and
President Cooper has received letters
from Chicago hospital patients asking
TO be allowed to come to Kenosha for
rest from the noise of the city hospit-
ais.

THE blame for the failare of the Co
lombian government to ratify the
Panama canal treaty has been laid at
the doors of the transcontinental rail-
way lines but the real reason is un-
doubtedly the inability of the various
revolutionary factions of the country
to agree on the division of the pur-
chase money. $1O,O00,O00 is great
stake to play for and the leaders of the
successive revolutions which have
harrassed all of the Central American
States have time and again gone to
war for less. Among the leaders of
the opposition to the Panama route
doubt is expressed that even if the
United States did acquire treaty rights
in Colombia, the party granting them
would be unable to hang onto the
teius of government long enough to
carry out their obligations but these
gentlemen are giving themselves a
good deal of unnecessary uneasiness.
IF the United States once acquires any
rights to the Panama route Admiral
Casey and few Of his blue jackets
will see to it that "the wicked cease
from troubling" the men engaged in
the construction of the canal.

THE idea which constantly gathers
strength is that of regulating both
marriage and divorce by means Of
national laws uniform for all of the
States. The constitution was adopted
to secure "a more perfect union in
matters of governmental and fiscal
policy-to do away with the confusion
of separate tariffs and treaties in
which one State was constantly at
odds with another. We need little less
today the closer union of social inter.
ests which would be result of the
proposed divorce legislation New

Directors OF Gilbert M. simmons Library
to Place Light ON OE5sis.e Of Building.
The directors or the Gilbert M. Sim
mons Memorial Library met in regu.
lar monthly session at the library last
night. The most important business
of the meeting was the fact that the
directors ordered the committee on
buildings to take some steps to secure
lights for the exterior of the building.
The wide approaches to the building
are being used great deal by pedest-
rians going through the park and only
recently one of these pedestrians fell
and sustained severe injuries on &C
count Of lack Of light. OF course il is
possible that the action of the board
will be resented by the army of lovers
who have made the steps of the library
rendezvous but it is possible that the
directors will be able to arrange for a
dark spot for the accommodation OF
these people. The board authorized the
purchase of a large number of new
books and these will be added to the
library within the next few weeks.

IL the advice of prominent army
officers is followed Congress will prob
ably restore the canteen at its next
session. Without exception the heads
of all the departments have reported a
great increase n minor breaches of
discipline in the army since the law
abolishing the canteen went into
effect and all of them have asked for
its restoration. General Baldwin of
the department of the Colorado is the
latest officer of high rank TO speak
plainly in favor Of the canteen. In
his annual report he says: 81 have
been deeply impressed'by the marked
difference In discipline and general
contentment among the enlisted men
since the abolition of the canteen
feature of the post exchange. If men
are unable to get glass of beer in a
decent and orderly manner in the gar
gisou they will resort to the vile
brothe1s which cluster around the
borders of the reservation, where
they drink all manner Of alcoholic
beverages and often sink into de-
dauchery and ruin"

The evidence being brought out at
the Caster trial makes mighty inter
esting reading for Kenosha citizens.
While nothing absolutely new in re-
gard to the connection of certain other
aldermen with Caster in the deal for
the sale of the franchise has been
brought out at this trial, all the evil
dences of boodliug in connection with
the passage of the franchise, are now
being made part of the record of
court, and it would seem to layman
unversed in the intricacies of law that
the District Attorney has material
enough right in the testimony in this
case to form the basis of several other
trials in the future. 1t would be no
more than fair for the District
Attorney 10 give all the parties
accused of having part of
the purchase money chance
10 esta blish their innocence. If the
truth must be told some of them do
not appear to be very anxious for the
chance but they should be given one
nevertheless. Caster should not be al
lowed to bear the brunt Of the whole
business even if he wants to. And while
the authorities are engaged in laying
bare the inside history of the deal Mr..
Clausen should be brought to Kenosha
If possible and made to contribute his
share to the general fluid of informa-
tion in the case.

The state rested its case after the
reading Of the confessions as the court

The state rested its case after the
reading Of the confessions as the court
had decided that all Of these state
ments made by the defendant in the
presence of witnesses should be ad
mitted to the records as evidence. In
the confessions little new matter was
brought out and most of it was the
detail of the former statements made
by Caster. 9 In these confessions the
accused man showed that the men
who had been accused with him
were even the more guilty Eand the
names of Pirsch, Smith, Weir were
especially prominent. In several
places the confessions were so ludic-
rous as to cause litter of merriment
In the court and among the Jurors.
The confessions seemed to form the
strongest possible case against the de-
fendant and there was little in the way
OF objections made to their reading.
Attorney Ingalls, seemed to believe
that the objections already entered
would be sufficient reason for a de-
mand for new trial of the case and
made little changes in the confessions
as read into the record. The reading
of these confessions took a large
| amount of the time of the morning
session of the court. When the con-
fessions had been concluded the at
torney for the defense suggested that
the ordinance be read into the record
and large portion of it was placed in
the record. From this move it seems
to appear that the attorney for the de-
Tense was to use the ordinance as a
portion of the defense.
After the close of the long seige of
technical work the State was practic-
ally through with the taking of testi-
mony but few scattering witnesses
we're called to bring together the ends
OF the evidence and make it alright.
The State rested just before eleven
O'Clock and the attorney for the de.
Tense at once brought out his old mo.
ton for the quashing of the informa-
ton and the throwing Of the case out
of court. In arguing this motion At
III AA& ais LOAO lAdl Tic
ton could not'be made Sin the lang
uage of the statute" In support of his
argument he cited the recent trials of
bribery cases in st. Louis in which
the court had oheld according to his
theory.
District Attorney Buckmaster was
well primed with authorities to answer
this argument and was still occupying
the attention of the court when the
adjournment at noon was taken.
At the beginning Of the session this
afternoon the court denied all the mo.
tons for the discharge of the defend
ant made by his attorney and ordered
the defense to at once proceed with the
introduction of the evidence for the
defense. In his opening statement
Attorney Ingalls, announced that Gas
ter would take the stand some time be-
fore the defense closed its case to deny
that he ever made voluntary confes-
sion to the district attorney. Evidence
for the defense is being introduced at
the time of going to press.
