AS was anticipated the hesita ton of
the Colombian Government in accept
ing the terms offered by the United
States III the Panama canal treaty
vanishedswhen thei'Co1omb were
assured that 1.-THE United States had
reached the alimit, 5and that no more
favorable terms could be secured. It
is now announced that the treaty has
been signed and is ready for the action
of the Senate. III If two-thirds of the
Senators really want canal the treaty
will be ratified as1soon as Ethe Colon
bian Congress has accepted it. The
treaty provides for the payment of
$50, 100000 in cash and at the expira-
ton of ten years an annual rental of
$250,000 will be paid. The amount of
the annuity is compromise between
the $3.50, 1000 demanded by Colon bia
and the 100000 offered by the United
States, and is based upon calculation
of the exact receipts of the Colombian
Government from the traffic across the
isthmus, which the Colombian Govern
ment naturally did not wish to see di-
minished. The authority of the Pres
ident to negotiate the treaty was given
by the Spooner act; the second section
of which prescribes certain of the con-
ditions to be embodied in the treaty
and is as follows!
That the.President is hereby author
lied to acquife from the republic of

Mrs. Mary Shave Asks Release From Her
Marriage Vows.

Summons and complaint has been
served in suit for divorce in which
Mary Shave, of Bristol, is the plain
tiff and William Shave, of Kenosha, is
the defendant.
For some time the troubles of Mr..

divorce courts. Shave is the man who
was so seriously injured last summer
in fight with William Powell. Mrs.
Shave has asked for temporary ali
mony, and hearing on this matter
will be held on Thursday.
Shave is said to have considerable
money, and for this reason he will
probably contest the case. He has been
perfectly willing to live with his wife.

A new site for the proposed Naval
Training Station has been offered, and
proposition has been forwarded to
Washington by William Lindsay and
]. E. Wi1dish, of Milwaukee. The land

timber on it, together with spring of
excellent water. Six hundred acres

Ten yestibule Coaches to be Installed Tel

In the course of few weeks new
vestibule cars similar to the Pullman
cars on the railroads will be seen spin
ming along the highway IN soniers.
The Milwaukee Electric Railway COM
pany has sent in an order for ten of
these new cars and it is expected they
will arrive at any time. They will be
considerable larger than the ones now
in use and will be equipped with a
smoker and toilet room which none of
the present cars contain. It has been
found necessary by the company to get
larger cars on account of the large
traffic over their road and it will add
greatly to the convenience of the public
IN genefal;
Another Jew addition which is being
made to the local system is the placing
OF telephones along the lines so that if
an accident should occur at any time
the n1otorman will be able to telephone
the authorities at the station and save
much time and delay. Men are at work
doing this work and they will continue
until the entire system is provided
with telephones. During the past year
considerable MT >ney has been expended
by this company to improve the local
line and today it stands among the
best in the State

Missing Elm Grove Farmer Located in
kenosha tuesday Afternoon and
is Taken into Custody
He RETURNS HOME IN ANGER.
Old Man Claims That his Relatives had no
Right to Offer Reward for His
Apprehension and Arrest.

Just before five O'Clock Tuesday an
old German walked up and down the
station of the North Western railway
in the city waiting anxious1y for
north bound train. He appeared to be
about sixty years of age and chad the
typical German beard and piercing
black eyes. Just behind the old man
a police officer walked, bearing in his
pocket card offering reward of a
hundred dollars for inform alton in re-
gard to his companion.
The walk continued until the officer
became convinced that the man in
front of him was the one wanted and
he stepped up to him and sailed him by
name. The old German was little
surprised, little frustrated, but he
managed to answer to the salute and
the officer at once took him into GUS
tody and carried him off in triumph to
the police station.
The old German was Matthew
Marks, wealthy farmer who had been
missing from his home at Elm Grove,
since two weeks ago today. The po-
lice officer who was so lucky as to take
him into custody was Day Officer
Clarence Stevens, of the local police
force. Detectives have been searching
for Marks in all parts of the State and
finally the strain became so great on
the sons and wife of the missing man
that they sent out cards offering hun
4 f1~ cts IF he n1d
man.
At the police office Mr.. Marks adj
mitted his ident ity and seemed to enjoy
the joke he was playing on the people
at home. He seemed to be put out
when he discovered that they had Of
fered a reward of hundred dollars for
his apprehension and characterized
the action as extreme foolishness. He
stated that he had been having sp1en-
did time during his absence from home
and that he had been allowed to do
justAas he pleased with no one to tell
him to behave himself.
He has been in several parts of
Southern Wisconsin and Tuesday
while at Rockford he got little home
sick and concluded to return to the
farm at Waukesha county. He adults
that he started to write letter and
then he decided to go home and sur
prise the people.
Tuesday morning at seven O'Clock
he boarded way freight at Rockford
and got into this city at 4:30 1t was
just too late for him to catch the fast
train north and just late enough to
allow the officer to earn the reward by
taking him into custody.
AS soon as Marks admitted his iden-
tity the police Office at Milwaukee
which had offered the reward for his
apprehension, was notified and one of
the sons of the man came down from
Milwaukee and took him home. Marks
left home two weeks ago today and
told his wife he was going to visit a
daughter in North Dakota. He claims
to have left home on account of the
fact that one of the boys about the
house chided him on account of some
| financial transaction in which the old
man lost small sum of money. The
reward offered for his apprehension
will be paid to Officer Stevens.

Pinhole Photography.

Photography without a lens would
seem at first glance to be impossible.
1t is so generally understood that for
good work q good lense is necessary
that it is scarcely credible that some OF
the finest Photographic work is OBJ
tanned without the use of lense at all,
merely by the aid of a minute hole in
the side of light-tight box, which is
arranged to contain a sensitive plate.
But the practicability OF this method
of photography is amply proved by the
fine specimens that accompany all arti-
Gle ON the subject, by Juan q. Abel,
in the May Delineator. One of the dis
tinct advantages of pinhole photogra-
ply is the slight expense incurred in
apparatus any kind of light-tight
box will suffice, provided it can be
opened to insert the plate. Explicit
directions for procedure are given in

Our Foremost Astronomer on "The End
of the World"

Prof. Simon Newcomb contributes
the leading article to McClure's Maga-
zine for May, an exceptionally inter
esting forecast of "rhe End of the
World" Though in the form of fiction
Prof, Newcomb's theory is clearly the
one that in his belief is, of all, the most
scientifically probable. lie holds that
this world-or rather the life on twill
come to an end as result of collision
between our sun and dark star. The
author places the date of the disaster
5000 years after the first successful
message to Mars. All the scientific
discoveries have been made centuries
ago, and the earth has become pretty
dull place to live. so dull in fact that
for months at a time the daily papers
contain only the announcement that
nothing worth recording has happened.
The article is splendidly illustrated by
H. Lanos.
