"You are sure that Hestor said
he gave the opera and supper
party?" asked Mr.. Chalmers.
Il did not hear him say a word
about it," said Miss Hammond. "Mr.
Hestor and Sidney had long talk
about trusts. They were at the end
of the table, and for long time
took no part in the general conversa-
ton. | was not interested in what
the others were saying and found
myself listening to Sidney and Wal
ter Hestor. Mr.. Hestor said it would
be a fine plan if they could induce
the leading capitalists of the country
to meet and DISCUSS methods to reg
ulate the abuses which have arisen
under the trust control of industrial
affairs. Now that | think of it, he
mentioned such names as Rockwell,
Morton and Haven, and | am sure
Mr.. Carmody's name was used. Sid
ney told him that these men could
not be induced to take the time to
bother with such matters. Finally
Mr.. Hestor said that he was going to
form a trust of his own. Sidney
laughed, but Walter seemed much in
earnest. Soon afterward the party
dispersed and we went home. Sid
ney went to Chicago, and did not re-
turn until the following Saturday."
The messenger boy arrived with
the original copy of the telegram.
Chalmers gave one glance at it.
Just as l suspected" he said. He
passed the telegram to Miss Ham
mond. 1t was written in pencil on a
sheet of newspaper copy" paper,
with a telegraph head pasted above
it.
"Is that Sidney's handwriting?" he
asked.

A SONG FOR GLA0NESS.

Oh be thou glad in sorrow, and be thou
calm in pain;
There's quiet In the sunshine, there's mel
ody in rain;
For when the heart is joyous all ways
lead on to light,
And merely thy well-wishing will make
the future bright.
Then weep no more for sorrow.
Turn all remorse to gain,
And welcome the good spirit
Where love doth ever reign.
oh wait no more on worry, companion
not with care,
Ever the morning dawneth and dawneth
everywhere,
And when the heart is open to loveliness
and truth,
From every wind of heaven comes the
worlds eternal youth.
Then work, but do not worry,
And wait. but not with care;
For in the never-endng
'Tis moring now, and fair!
BE glad, thou! do not murmur; smile as
the moments die!
Forever and forever life's troubles fade
and fly;
Down in the doom of passage fate seals
the deeds to rest
Forever and forever life Is and will be
blest.
Behold how glad is nature,
The hills do greet the sky
The clouds may brood above them,
But the river flashes by!

pendent.

or did not care. No shrewd criminal
would send forged telegram in his
own handwriting. He would use a
typewriter. Hestor sent this tele-
gram so that you would not be
alarmed at Sidney's absence. 1t Is
plain as day"
Chalmers enjoined the young ladies
to secrecy and returned to his news
paper duties.
The following morning Jack Ste
vens called his staff into conference.
He detailed four men to Boston, six
to Philadelphia and four to New Or
leans and Galveston. Twenty were
assigned to work in New York, and
six were held in reserve.
"Interview every architect and
builder in these cities" were Ste
vens' instructions. Introduce your
self as a writer who is preparing
an elaborate article on summer or
country residences. Be specially So
licitous about specimens of tropical
architecture. Then lead up to who
designed the Walter b. Hestor resi-
dence. There is a special offer of
$4,000 for the reporter who locates
the architect, and the same amount
for the one who discovers the con-
tractor"
Stevens had already satisfied him
self that no lumber had been loaded
on the shark" He explained to his
men such facts as were necessary
for their guidance. 1t was not nee
essary to enjoin them to secrecy.
The tempting rewards were suffi-
! cient to insure that caution. Each
reporter was literally supplied with
money and they went to work with
energy.
That afternoon, the Sth of May,
Chalmers opened Hestor's desk, and
with Stevens, made a minute exam
nation of it's contents. Much to
their surprise, three check books
were found on the glass-covered sur
face of the desk. On dates from
April 25 to May 1, inclusive, Hestor
had drawn checks payable to him
self aggregating $4,64S,000.
How could he have amassed that
amount OF casn :! asked stevens, as
he footed up the aggregate.
Here is a memorandum which eX-
| plains that" said Chalmers. He
pointed to the inside cover of one of
the check books on which was tabu-
lated sales of bonds and stocks
| amounting to S4,627,000.
The Hestor estate was largely in
| securities" said Chalmers. II re-
member Hestor told me at one time
| that he owned between $15,0O0,O 900
and Slg,OOO,OOO worth of gilt-edged
stuff"
What did he do with the cash p"
asked Stevens, with an air which in
dicated that he could answer his
own question.
"Street & Rogers might answer il
they would" said Chalmers. ~ man
of Hestor's standing could margin
100000 shares of stock with that
amount of money. lie was too wise
Ia draw checks payable to anyone
but himself lie must have mgged
that money down there in bills. II

MUST BUILD ROADS
Farmers of Kenosha County Threat
ened with Withdrawal OF Rural
Delivery Service.
MANY ROADS ARE lMPAssABLE

The expectations of the farmers in
the different towns of the county for
rural mail delivery during the coming
winter may have decided change as
Captain Frantz who is in charge of all
the routes out Of Kenosha has received
a communication from Washington
which declares that the routes will not
be opened unless the farmers of the
county take some action to repair and
rebuild the roads in the county which
must be used by the rural carriers.
Many of these roads are passable at
the present time but before the routes
are formally opened they will be SO
buried under the mud and slush that it
will be absolutely impossible for the
carrier to make his way to the homes
of the patrons of the routes. This es-
pecially is true of number of routes
extending out into the town of Somers
and letters have been sent to promi.
nent members of the town board ask
ing that steps be taken immediate
ly to secure the repair of the roads.
The three routes will be started on or
about the first day of December but
the roads must be repaired or the In
spector of rural routes in charge of
this district will order the routes not
opened. The farmers of the county
have for several years past been clam
oring for the rural delivery and now
they must do their part if they expect
the government to expend large sums
of money to secure this benefit for
them. Some of the people on the
routes seem to be very lukewarm in
the matter and they seem to prefer to
drive to town for their mail rather
than to expend few dollars IN the re
pair of impossible roads. One Of the
main functions of the free delivery
system is to secure a movement in
favor of better roads but this end of
the service seems to have been over
looked in this county.
In Racine county the repair of roads
has already been started and the roads
will be in fair condition for the use of
the carriers. Some effort will be made
to take up this matter at the meeting
of the county Board during the pres.
ent week but the work must be done
by the town boards of the different
towns. Pleasant Prairie is the only
town in the county that has taken any
action thus far and number of the
leading residents of that town have
started a movement to secure better
highways. If the carriers are to start
on December /, the work of improving
the roads must start at once.

A LIVELY TIME.
Mrs. Lowenson Captures Debtor and
Crowd Gathers to Assist Her.

There was excitement plenty at
the Northwestern station Sunday at
ternoon when Mrs. Lowenson, the wife
of clothing merchant, made an effort
to secure the arrest of Max Lowen-
stein, who had been employed as sales
man for the.woman's husband. It was
alleged that Lowenstein owed money
to the firm aud when Mrs. Lowenson
saw him at the station on Sunday with
bundle of merchandise she attempt
ed to capture him. She didn't waste
any time looking for member of the
police force but went after the man
rough shod and soon had him corra1ed.
In the meantime the fight between the
woman and the man had attracted a
crowd ofseveral hundred people to the
depot platform. A hurry-up call was
sent to the county jail and deputy
sheriff Jensen responded. He took
Lowenstein in charge and took him to
the Office of the Jail and when the real
facts in the case were learned the man
was discharged. 1t is claimed that
L lwenstein had been buying goods in
kenosha and the Kenosha lady
thoaght she had right to seize these
goods to secure the payment of debts
owed here. The case will be settled
out Of court or by civil action.

ABOLISH MERIT RULE
School Children Of the City will no
Longer Have Holidays For PunCt-
uaIity in Attendance.
RULE LEADS TO ASSAULTS.

Principal Hammill of the Kenosha
schools has decided that the rule pro-
viding holidays for punctuality in at
tendance on the part of the children
of the schools shall be abolished. The
news of the decision will cause conster-
nation among the boys of the, city.
For some time it has been the practice
in the different schools of the city to
allow holiday to those rooms where
the attendance for the month averaged
IS per cent or over and many of the
rooms have had repeated holidays on
account of the rule. But it was rule
that failed to bring good results in the
schools as 1t did not take into consider
alton the absentees and the teachers
have found that in many cases when
pupils found that they were going to
be tardy they would turn round and
either return to their homes or spend
the day on the streets. There was a
reason for this as it is claimed that
often times both boys and girls who
had been tardy and in this way pulled
down the average Of the room we're
assaulted after school hours. This
practice became SO prevalent that the
patrons of the school began to COM
plain on account of the fact that often
times the little boys and girls have
been forced to submit 20 the harshest
possible treatment because they had
pulled down the average of the school
for the month.
The old plan will be abolished at
once and it is intended to install some
new merit system in it's stead. The
children will DE urged to be punctual
for their school work but they will not
be allowed their usual holidays. In
lieu of this Principal Hammill is plan
ming to establish a merit system by
which the names of the children who
are punctual at school will be posted
on bulletin board and probably they
will be published in the city papers.
The rule has been applied in Keno
sha for number of years and the an
nouncement that the holidays are to
be done away with is not received with
the best of grace by the students and
especially those in the lower grades of
the school. 1t is claimed that some of
the rooms have been able to secure a
holiday almost every month.

FLAMES THREATEN RIDGE.
Careless Sand Ridge Boys Start Fire
in Forest.

Careless Sand Ridge Boys Start Fire
In Forest.
The people residing on the Sand
Ridge had taste of real excitement
Sunday afternoon and evening when
they were forced to fight the flames
which threatened to destroy their
homes. The flames were in the woods
on Park avenue and had been started
by some careless boys playing in the
woods. The FIRE spread rapidly among
the dry grass and leaves and ia short
time it had been communicated to St.
James cemetery and fences separating
the cemetery from other property we're
badly damaged.
The flames began to encroach on the
resident district Of the ridge and the
people turned out in force and after an
hour of hard fighting the flames we're
extinguished before they reached any
of the dwelling houses. Some of the
residents remained on guard during
the night fearing that the FIRE might
break out again.

INSPECT POOR FARM.
Council Committee Is Well Pleased with
the Work of the Poor Farm

tIa0 Work or the Poor Farm
The members of the Pauper Com
mittee of. the city council, together
with several of the city officials, paid
their first visit of inspection to the
Kenosha City Poor Farm on Sunday
afternoon and their report will be one
most favorable to the farm and highly
complimentary ito Robert Grant, the
present superintendent. The men,
bers Of the committee found the farm
in splendid condition and what is more
to the point, look at the accounts of
the farm shows that it is self support
ing. Tie farm produced fine crop of
hay and oats this; year anand all the
work was done by the dependents on
the city, thus eliminating any expense
for extra labor. The crop of vegeta-
bles was not only large enough to sup
ply the inmates of the farm but many
Of them were sold to stores in Kenosha.
The potato crop was failure but
there will be sufficient money left from
the other crops to buy potatoes for the
winter.
The success of the first season of
the life of the farm is very gratifying
to the mem bers of the committee and
there is no doubt but that the farm
| will prove money makersinN another
season.

PROPHET GETS BACK.
DOWie Again in the Bosom OF His Peo-
pie in Zion City and Far From
the Maddening Crowd.
CLAIMS CRUSADE A SUCCESS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


Far from the maddening crowd of
scoffers, away from the scenes of tur-
MOL and strife John Alexander Dowie
is back in Zion City tonight. At his
own home and in the heart of his own
people. The New York crusade is
over and the work in Zion City has
been taken up again. Dowie got home
this afternoon after an uneventfui
trip from New York. His train reach
ed Chicago early this morning and he
stopped at the general headquarters
only long enough TO express a greet
ing to the faithful and hurried on to
Zion City to take the reins of govern
ment in the city where the word of
Dowie is law.
Dowie isn't talking much about the
New York crusade. He has heard the
story of the parrot that talked too
much and is waiting until he calls his
people together before he makes his
report of the work done in Gotham.
He claims victory but he is unwilling
to furnish the list of the fallen enemy
at this time. He is worn out from the
continued strain and after an account
ing has been made to his people he
will go to his summer place in Michi-
gan for long rest. In speaking gem
orally of the work done in New York
| DR.. Dowie said: ST am abundantly
satisfied with the visitation in New
York. think l have stirred things
up considerably. During the time we
were in New York the members Of the
host visited 100000 houses and dis
tributed the literature of Zion. We
closed three saloons and converted the
proprietors.''
Dowie has announced that he will
pay another visit to New York 10 1905
and at that time he expects to take ten
thousand followers with him.
AS to the financial advancement of
Dowie by the New York crusade moth
ing has been said but it is limited by
leaders of the church that Dowie re-
turned with money ahead after spend
ing more than hundred thousand
dollars. The few followers who had
remained in New York to assist in the
closing of the crusade returned with
their leader and all the people of Zion
are home ag ain. A reunion and praise
meeting will be held in Shiloh Taber-
nacle tomorrow evening but the report
of the work will not be made until
Sunday.

AT TER C|TY'S LAND,
Mrs. Charles C. Brady OF Chicago
Claims a Part of What is
Now EicheIman Park.
CLAIMS TITLE IS DEFECTIVE.
Sole Heir to the Estate of old Billy
Palmer Hires an Attorney and Will
Attempt to Make City vacste.

The right Of the city to the owner
ship of valuable lake shore property
in the city has been called into ques-
ticn and Mrs. Charles c. Brady, resi-
dent Of Chicago, has hired an attorney
and will go into court and ask that the
city show cause why it should not va
cate portion of the property now
known as Eichelman Park. Mrs.
Brady's attorney claims that she has
a splendid case against the city and
that she will force the city to settle
with her if it desires to hold possession
of the lake front property. Mrs.
Brady is the sole surviving heir of
William Palmer one of the early resi-
dents Of the city. In his last years
Palmer was pauper and was sup
ported by the city. He was commonly
known as "Old Billy Palmer and was
a familiar figure about the city for
years. Long before the present plat
Of the city was laid out, Billy Palmer
was the owner of some of the property
between Deming street and Maiden
Lane. His old cottage was the sole
building along the water front of the
city. 1t was one of the land marks of
the city. Palmer was overtaken by
misfortune in his old age and for a
time he was charge upon the town of
Pleasant Prairie. Mrs. Brady declares
that her father had decided to deed his
property to that town for caring for
him but the deed was never made and
when he returned to the city the prop
erty was taken by the city and he be-
came a city charge. No admi nistra-
ton of the estate of the old man was
ever held and so far as can be learned
Mrs. Brady will base her claim on the
fact that the property should have gone
to her as the sole heir to the estate.
Abstractors have declined to pass on
the title of the city to the property
without giving it close investigation
but they seem to be unit ia the belief
that the city has had undisputed con-
troll of the property for sufficient
mum Der of years to warrant their
claiming it. On theother hand the at
torney for Mrs. Brady claims that the
property has never been fenced in and
that for this reason it will not fall
under the twenty year statute. The
property is most valuable and will have
to be owned by the city if the lake
front is ever improved.
The attorney for Mrs. Brady declares
that she is in the fight to stay and that
she has plenty Of money to carry the
fight for her alleged rights into the
highest courts of the state.
The case is scheduled to come up t
the March term of the circuit court but
the city will of course be given a
chance to settle the matter out of the
court.
