Trend Toward Country Life.

A few years ago the unmistakable
trend of population was toward the
cities. The great centers were being
more densely populated, and the coun-
try was being correspondingly depopu-
lated. There now seems to be a de-
cided movement in the opposite direc-
ton In late statement Mr. Merriam,
director of the last United States cen
sus, shows most conclusively that the
cities are not holding their own. The
increase in the percentage of city pop
ulation was not nearly SO great be
tween 1890 and 1900 as between 1886
and 1850.
In the former decade the advance of
city life was from % to 20 per cent and
in the latter from % to 33. The total
Of urban population, according to the
census of 1900, was 28,372, 1892, that of
semiurban and semirural population
8,2O8, 48O and that of distinctly rural
population 39,413, 7O3, or SO per cent of
the whole
This apparent movement of popula-
ton toward the rural and suburban
districts is largely due to the develop
ment of better transportation facilities
Distance does not make the difference
that it once did, and all other consid
erations constantly work for more all
and elbow room. 1t is, on the whole
not bad tendency which induces peo
pie to remove from crowded urban cen.
ters to the more spacious environment
of the country.

Agents of Ice Workers Union Already
on the Ground to Organize Ice
Cutters When Season Opens
LONG FIGHT TO BE MADE FOR UNION
Owners of Big Ice Houses Have Announced
They Will Recognize Union.

The old fight to put the ice fields of
Kenosha county under the control of
the Union of the ice cutters and ice
handlers is on again. and the leaders
in the movement to form the union
have already opened their headquar
ters in the effected regions, and an eff
fort will be made to force the recogni-
tion of the union with the opening Of
the ice cutting season.
The season will not open for another
month, but the hordes of men who are
annually employed by the big com
panies have begun to drop in about
Salem and at Powers Lake, and the
there to meet with these men and if
possible to cement them into strong
union before the opening of the work
ing season. Preliminary meetings
have already been held, and the men
seem to be unit on the matter.
It is agreed that the strike last year,
which tied up the industry for cou-
pie of days, was failure for lack of
organization, but this year no such
mistake will be made. The Union
men have an awful proposition to go
against, for the men are picked from
all sorts and conditions and it will be
hard to cement these forces into COM
pact union.
In the meantime the managers of
the big companies have not been idle,
and they are contracting with nom
union men to take up the work in the
ice fields, and it is possible that the
leaders of the union who have been
employed for many years in the county
will find themselves out of a job when
the season opens. None of the labor
organizations in Chicago have consent
ed to unite with the ice cutters to force
the managers of the big companies to
pay the Union scale, and until such an
agreement can be made the Union will
have hard road to travel.
During the strike of last season riots
and bloodshed were threatened, and at
one time the company's managers
asked for the protection Of the Sheriff's
deputies. It was lost cause, however,
and the workmen after short struggle
returned to work.
It is possible that should the strike
prove success this season it will force
the ice business ont of the county.
This would be loss of Thousands Of
dollars to the railways and to different
industries in the county.

Members OF the County Board Make a
Good Report OF the Asylum for
the Insane at Racine.
BANQUET FOR THE SUPERVISORS
County Fathers Pay Full Tribute of Praise
to the Work of the superintendent
of the Racine Asylum.

Friday the mem bers of the Kenosha
County Board OF Supervisors, accom-
panied by the members of the Racine
County Board of Superv sors, left Ra-
cine on the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul railway, for the county asylum,
on an annual tour Of inspection.
Arriving at the asylum without Incl
dent the visitors were courteously re-
ceived by Superintendent Harden, his
wife, and others. The inspection re-
vea1ed that the institution was one of
the best of its kind in the northwest,
and that its condition could not be i'm.
proved upon, and the praise extended
to Mr.. and Mrs. Harden was merited.
The new additions were looked over
and the improvements to the artesian
we'll, ETC., carefully scrutenized. All
of the hundred and thirty odd patients
were neat and clean, and as contented
and happy as their lamentable condi
tion could permit,
The surrounding farm looked wei
and the crop of the year well filled the
cellars and barns. So far as the Sup
ervisors could discern there was no
fault to be found with the place. The
Kenosha Supervisors were especially
| pleased, and the remark was often
heard that Kenosha should surely have
an asylum, but that it could not under
any circumstances excel Racine

ceptionally clean and wholesome, pa
tients well dressed and the food supply
equal to the best hotels of a city. The
whole interior was warm and comfort
able, and it would take pretty good
critic to find fault with the home of
the unfortunate insane of Racine and
Kenosha counties.
| Regret was expressed that Mr.. Har-
den and his excellent wife were to
sever their connection with the insti-
tuition. They have been at the asylum
| since the day it opened, and six years
of that time Mr.. Harden has been the
Superintendent. The patients have
| learned to know them as father and
| mother, and love them for the kind and
considerate treatment received at all
times. That they will be greatly
missed there is no doubt. Mr.. Harden
believes that after being shut up in
the place for so many long years he
and his faithful wife deserve a rest,
and they certainly do.
| A dinner was served to the two
Boards and the. 1menu was all that
could be desired. In conclusion it can
be said that in all the years the Boards
have visited the Racine county asylum
they never found it in better shape,
and much praise is also due the three
trustees for the watchful care they
have taken the past year.

Justice Brewer and the Laws Delay
Some months ago Justice Brewer Of
the federal supreme court stirred up
much discussion in legal and judicial
circles by urging that limitations be
placed upon the right of appeal in Grim
final cases as a remedy for the laws
delay, which is regarded as being re-
sponsible in many cases for the exer-
else Of lynch law.
In an article in the current indie
pendent Justice Brewer has elaborated
his reasoning on broader grounds. Jus
tice delayed" he says, lis often justice
denied" He aims to show that appeals
on technicalities and the delays Incl
dent thereto tend to pervert justice, not
to assure it, and that in consequence
criminals become holder and crime
more frequent, while, in still further
consequence, the people feel forced
now and then to take the law into
their own hands.
AS to the right Of convicted crimi-
nal to appeal his case Justice Brewer
says: "It is not a right guaranteed by
the constitution of the United States.
Neither is it a natural right, for upon
what principle of natural justice can it
be said that the state owes the duty

The right of appeal as now exer-
cised, continues Justice Brewer, is

better, not for worse, administration
Of justice He would have the higher
courts grant appeals only when they
see substantial reasons for SO doing, not
merely as matter Of course at the
criminals request.
While it is doubtful if the right OF
appeal will ever be abrogated in Amer

| growing opinion that in the interest OF

OLD AND NEW WAY.
Hyomei the Latest..Scientific Discovery For
the Cure of Catarrh.

the Cure of Catarrh.
The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought wonderful change in the
treatment of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseatingC drugs
and worthless tonics. In some in
stances they benefited, but the i'm
provement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head a bal
samic air that goes to the1minutest
cells, effectually killing all germs and
microbes of catarrh. TIL enters the
blood with oxygen, killing the germs
in the blood, and restores health to the
whole system. Manysa tes-
timonia1s have been received from
those who have been cured by,Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs but 81 90, nd
includes IN inhaler, dropper and suffi-
Gent Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment.
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact
that c. H. Hurd has so much faith in
Hyomei that he sells every package
under positive guarantee to refund
the money if it doestnot cure.
Now is the time to.begin the use of
Hyomei,
