Mexican Lotteries in Which Many Ke-
nosha People Were Investing
Found to Be Frauds.
PRIZES FOR RING LEADERS ONLY.
Nota Single Man Outside of the Ring Has
Won Prize.-Hundreds of Kenosha
People Investing Monthly.


Hundreds of people in Kencsha
have, during the last few months, been
investors in the lotteries operated
under the authority of the Mexican
government and for this reason it will
be most interesting for these people to
know that Tim burst, an American
detective Of undoubted integrity, has
managed to discover the plan under
which the lotteries are working and he
declared that it is impossible for any
one not member Of the lottery ring
to win any Of the prizes alleged to be
offered at the different drawings of the
two companies.
Since the passing of the Louisiana
lottery Kenosha has been pretty free
from this sort of gambling, but in the
past two or three months factory
workers have taken the agency for the
Mexican lotteries and thousands of
tickets have been sold to the unwary
workmen. Not single cent of return
has been sent to Kenosha but the pur-
chasers of tickets have been kept buy
ing by the reports Of fabulous sums
won by people il different parts Of the
country.
burst has made an investigation Of
these alleged winnings and declares
that there has not been cent of
money won except by the wife Of Pres
ident Diaz and by the members of the
lottery ring. He asserts that the
drawings are made from the tickets re-
naming unsold and that not single
chance is given to the people who are
not in the ring.
Recently the report was sent broad
cast over the country that a Swede
who had just gone to the City of
Mexico had won sixty thousand dollars
in lottery but bursts investigation
shows that the man was paid a hun
dred dollars in American money by the
Mexican authorities to claim that he
had won the capital prize and that the
company openly connived with him to
defraud the people by this false adver-
tisement.
Although the lotteries are not al
lowed in this country the agents of the
Mexican lotteries and even as far south
as Honduras are doing thriving bus
mess in Kenosha and it isl only just
THAI the people of the city be assured
that there is absolutely no chance for
them to win at the game. The lottery
is run for the benefit of the Mexican
government and a few men who are in
the ring and these men are the only
persons who are receiving cent from
the different drawings.

Superintendent Taylor Meets Difficult
ties in Properly Filling Positions
in the Schools Of the County.
ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE YEAR.
superintendent is Still Searching for .
Man to Take Charge of the New
High School at WiImot.
(From Thursdays Daily


Superintendent George w. Taylor is
busy this week assigning the teachers
employed for the work in the county
schools, to different positions for the
year, and he has discovered that the
material to supply the schools is decid-
eddy short. Many Of the schools have
not as yet been supplied with teachers
but in near1y every case the schools
without teachers are schools where
less than Eve children attend during
the term.
The principal Of the new High
School at Wilmot, has deserted the
county in order to accept another and
better position somewhere else, and
for this reason the superintendent is
on still hunt to secure some one to
take his place. AS yet the Dposition
has not been filled, but several good
men are making application for the
position and one of them will be
selected.
Many of the pupils from the Keno
sha High School are getting their
first year Of experience as teachers in
the county schools, and'-a glance
through the list shows that many Of
the graduates of the High School will
be teachers in the countyEnext year.
Superintendent Taylor states that the
boys and girls from the High,HSchool
make good teachers, but Of Scourse
their work is not of as high standard
as that of the Normal graduates.
August Keuck, high school graduate,
will be In charge ofsthe schools at the
village of Somers, while Louis Limper,
who recently graduated from the Mil
waukee Normal, will have charge of
the Berryville schools.
The assignments for the different
districts for the year as made by the
different boards and approved by the
superintendent are as follows:

Then she annexed part of his territory and
made him hunblv sue for peace.
In this battle she commanded with adj
mirable skill, ordering the disposition OF
the troops and all their movements, and
once, when the outcome of the fight seemed
| doubtful, she headed charge, which broke
the enemy's lines and sent the hostile Khan
fleeing from the field.
Whenever little rebellions broke out.
as they did now and then, or the wandering
tribes of the desert got too bold, Alice
took the field with her army and scat
tered the tents of her enemies to the four
winds of heaven. A traveller named
, DeCourcey, who visited her capital in 1868,
describes Queen Alice as "dignified, shrewd
and thoroughly capable"
But to the north and the west Of Turkes-
tan great cloud lay along the horizon
the ever-encroaching power Of Russia.
Still young and beautiful and powerful
Queen, Alice read in those clouds the COM
ing Of the storm which should overwhem
her and her nation The girl of the canton
mcnts could understand what her wisest
Minister'S We're unable to comprehend.
Finally, in 1879, the storm broke Russia

fell and Gen. Tschandyr overran the coun-
Try OF queen Alice.
Calamity she led forth her army against
the invaders, but the unequal and hopeless
struggle was soon over. Alice retired to
her palace. and, clad in her royal robes
and seated on her throne. awaited the COM
ing of her conqueror. Deeply impressed
by her beauty, her romantic history, her
misfortune and her dignity, Gen. Tschandyr
treated the fallen Queen with every courtesy
and consideration
AT first she was allowed to remain on
her throne under Russian tutelage, but this
was CALLING to her, and there was danger
TO the Russians az long as Alice Clifton
held even the semblance of power. Event
ually the great house in Orenburg and
liberal pension were given her on condition
that she leave Turkestan forever.
Some of the native rulers overthrown
by the Russians in their Central Asian con-
quests were treated with scant consdera-
ton, and others met with most unpleasant
fates, but Alice Clifton left the country as
she had entered it-a Queen.

sought a specialist and had the needle
applied. The specialist worked days and
days over those eyebrows, finally remov-
which was delight to the young woman,
to the young wOman's mirror and to her
friends. Hair on the upper lip has been
known to come of with the application OF
ilne pumice. The lip was first soaped and
then the pumice was rubbed on until all
the hair was scrubbed off.
Then a weak solution of peroxide OF
hydrogen with ammonia was applied,
The result was smooth-lOoking lip which
remained smooth for n couple Of weeks,
at which time the hair struggled through
again.
The treatment was repeated with the
same experience. The hair returned within
fortnight. But after three or four months
of this kind OF work the hair roots seemed
TO die out. II was tedious, hut was moth
ing compared with the shaving which the
woman had undergone for twenty years.
Another women took some very coarse
hairs off her chin with the tweezers. She
then took some weak ammonia, not strong
enough TO blister, and applied it TO the de-
nuded spots. II smarted and some of the
hair roots died. When the hair came in
again, she used the tweezers again and
again, always with weak ammonia after
ward, and within six months she had killed
every hair.
There come salve sticks that take the
hair of. But they bring the tears at TIE
same time. The salve stick is heatt d

Little New Found by Prof. Haupt in His
Lecture Before the Kaiser


Prof. Paul Haupt, director of the Oriental
seminary at Johns Hopkins. says In the
latest of the Johns Hopkins University
circulars that if Prof. Delitzsch Of Berlin
had not delivered one of his two lectures
on Babel and Bible" in the presence of
the German Emperor it would scarcely
have attracted such widespread attention.
More than twenty years ago Delitzsch
delivered lecture on the Location OF
Paradise" which contained perhaps just
IA much that was new and revolutionary
from the traditional point of view az his
recent lecture on Babel and Bible" but
the German Emperor was not present,
did not command repetition Of the lecture
at the imperial palace and did not deem
it necessary to define his faith In an open
letter. Delitzsch's AK 0riente Lux, writ
ten five years ago, did not stir up a sensa-
ton, though he plainly pointed out that the
Old Testament contained great deal de-
rived from Babylonian sources.
Prof. Haupt Ia therefore Of the opinion
that the race is not to the swift, nor the
battle to the strong, but that everything
depends on time and chance. He saws
the idea that a great deal in the Bible liz
derived from Babylonian sources Ia not
novel. Deitzsch's views expressed In his
recent lectures do not differ materially
from the opinions entertained by COM
petent Biblical scholars during the last
twenty-five years.
Prof. Haupt points out that twenty-four
years ago he himself wrote that the early
narratives OF Genesis were paralleled by
the cuneiform accounts of the Creation,
the Fall of Man, the Deluge and Nimrod.
In his lecture on the Location of Paradise, Z"
published in 1894, he showed that the Biblical
story of the Garden Of Eden was derived
from Babylonan sources.
According to the primitive view OF the
ancient Babylonians Paradise was situated
not at the head of four rivers, as we find
In the Biblical description. but at the mouth
of the four rivers Euphrates, Tigris, Kerkha
and Karoon, which all emptied into the
Persian Gulf. The four rivers Of Paradise.
according to the Babylonian conception,
are still extant though they no longer
empty separately into the Persian Gulf.
as was the case during the Babylonian
period.
When the paragraph describing the loca-
ton Of Paradise was inserted In the second
chapter of Genesis at the time OF the Baby
lonian captivity. the Garden of Eden was
transferred from the mouth to the head of
the rivers because, according TO the ideas
of the Hebrews at that time, God dwelt In
the north.
Prof Haupt is OF the belief that modern
Biblical research cannot possibly disturb
the foundations OF Christianity What IL il
endeavoring to do is to reconstruct the
! Scriptures az nearly as possible as the y
left the hands Of the inspired writer's, sepa-
rating the human additions from the Divine
original.
The saving truths, he says, that are de.
clared In the sacred Scriptures cannot be
affected by any legitimate research and nc
