MARATHON COUNTY LANDS.

The recent opening up of thousands
of acres of fine farming and timber
lands in Marathon county, has created
quite rush of settlers and investors
to that section of the State. Mara
thon county, situated almost exactly
in the center of the State, is noted for
its fertility and its natural resources.
Nearly every acre of land is ti11able.
Government reports show that there
is smaller percentage of waste aud
swamp lands than in almost any other
county in the State. Marathon is one
of the leading counties at the State
Fair in agricultural and dairy pro-
ducts. The unimproved lands within
a short distance from railroad stations
are covered with hardwood timber in
quantities sufficient ito pay for the
price of the land and the cost..of clear
ing. The settler can findta handsome
profit in the sale of timber products,
besides making a valuable farm and
home in this fertile region by clearing
the land. These lands cam be had at
from six to sixteen dollars per acre,
and some partly improved farms at a
correspondingly low figure.
FREE excursions for purchasers run
weekly to Wausau, the center of this
region. For further information ap-

SALVATION ARMY GIRLS DRAW
Young Women in the Garb Of the Army
Invade Saloons of the City and Sing.

Young Women In the Garb Of the Army
Invade Saloons of the City and Sing.
Music in the saloons of Kenosha has
been one of the features of Kenosha
for many months, but during the last
four nights the saloons have been hav-
ing new kind of music-a music
which threatens to cut out their bust
ness and to turn few of the habitues
into new course of life.
Last Tuesday night band of Saliva
ton Army lassies reached the city and
since that time they have been tuning
the songs of the Christian religion to
the click of the beer glasses and the
ribald humor of the bar room.
Almost every saloon in the city has
been visited ard the lassies are evil
IDENTIFY here to stay all summer and
make an effort to convert some of the
saloon patrons.
The singers came without warning
and arrived with a guitar. collection
basket and goodly supply of War
Crys. They at once took up the work
of improving the moral tone of the
city. Nothing was too low for them,
and they marched boldly into the Main
Street saloons and sang their songs
and exhorted the men at the bar to lead
better and nobler lives.
The young women we're received
kindly in every place and their sing
ing attracted crowds which followed
them from one drinking place to
another. They we're treated with the
greatest respect, and the proprietors
and customers alike stood with un-
covered heads while the women told
the story of the Christ in song and
story.
The women took up collections in
many Of the saloons, and money was
showered into the collection baskets
while plenty of War Crys were left in
the saloons to furnish reading matter
for time to come.
For some time the soldiers of the
Army have been seeking an entrance
into Kenosha and this reception ac-
corded the advance guard has given
ample evidence of the welcome that
will be accorded them.
Kenosha has it's s1ums as we'll as the
larger cities, and there are many peo-
pie in the city who could be benefited
by the work of the Soldiers of the
Army. For several years the Gospel
Mission has been struggling to get
hold of these classes, and the work
started by the Mission may be carried
forward by the mem bers of the Army.

SEEKS A SITE HERE.
Factory Would Locate In Kenosha If Prop
er Encouragement Was Given.


er ENCOURAGEMENT Was Given.
According to the statement of one
of the leading manufacturers of the
city large factory esta olished IL bus
mess is seeking to come to Kenosha.
The company is engaged in the brass
making business and is attracted to
Kenosha by the fact that the Chicago
Brass company would furnish much of
the raw materiel needed by the COM
pany. The managers of the company
have written to Kenosha and are
highly pleased with the city.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
company is ready to come here and
buy site and erect its own buildings
it is very probable that Kenosha will
lose this plant as the manufacturers
here now have advised the company
that it is exceedingly hard to get labor
in Kenosha and that the people are
not willing to take any steps to better
conditions. In speaking Of the matter
it was stated that the company would
be forced to employ several hundred
hands but that it would be absolutely
impossible to house these laborers in
Kenosha.
The manufacturers have no tendency
to "knock" the city but they are fac
ing a crisis. The plants now in the
city are DESTROYS of building additions
but the fact that it is impossible for
/ the workers to secure homes will prob
ably delay these additions. If the
people of the city do not take some
steps to relieve the demand for houses
in the near future it will be necessary
for some of TIE factories now located
in Kenosha to seek another site.

Elmer Morehouse Is Seriously lniu~ed by
Giant Firecrlcker Wednesday.
Elmer Morehouse, the fve-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Morehouse,
is the first of the victims of the pre-
mature celebrations of the Fourth of
July in Kenosha, and he is now at
his home on Bond street in a very
precarious condition as result of
being seriously burned by the explo-
sion of giant frecracker. The boy
was in no way responsible for the
accident which will probably mark
him for life. He was walking along
the street near his home when a man
twenty years old Lighted the giant
cracker and placed it on the sidewalk.
The boy was within a few inches of
the cracker when 1t exploded, and
most of the powder flew into his
face. AS soon as possible DR.. Andre
was called to attend the injured boy
and found that his face and eyes
had been terribly burned by the pow
der. It is feared that the sight may
be seriously injured by the accident.
Mr.. Morehouse has made complaint
to Mayor Pfennig and efforts will be
made to have the firing of giant fire.
crackers prohibited.

MARSHALL Field whose opinions are
certainly entitled 10 respect and whose
opportunities for sizing up the bust
ness situation are equaled by few men
in the country, gave out an interview
just before sailing for Europe yester.
day in which he takes rather gloomy
view of presnt conditions. He said:
~ should say that the word 'precar-
ious is the one thatswould Ibest fit the
situation as it stands at present. While
/ have no desire to discourage the pub
lie, am afraid we have reached the
topmost point of ourlgreat prosperity,
and that, for time at least, there will
be need for the greatest care among
business men.
"The chief danger to the great inter
ests of the countrys lies in the attitude
of organized labor. Strikes have been
carried to such an Eextent that no one
knows what to figure on. Contracts
have been violated, strikes have been
ordered on the most fimsy pretexts,
and rules have been,enforced that have
caused serious embarrassment to capt.
al. The result of thissalready is seen
in the curtailing of expenses by the
greatrailroad and other corporations 5.
Another menace to our export trade.
It follows that if you force wages be-
You'd a certain point and shorten hours
at the same time you runsthe risk Of
increasing the cost of production to a
point where you cannot compete in the
markets of the world.
Another great dangernlies in the
crop situation. 1t is. impossible as yet
ever to hazard guess as to what the
production of the western farms will
be. We hear all sorts of reports, but
am confident none of them can be re1i-
ed upon, so many factors are to. be con-
sidered. No doubt much damage has
been done by floods and crops are
backward because of the cool weather.
II hope and believe we will escape
misfortune and be able to continue as
we have, but must repeat, the time
has come for the exercise oflthe great
est conservatism. Labor leaders
should recognize this, as well as bust.
ness men, and call halt on,indiscrim-
mate disturbances. If they do this
they will be acting not only in their
own best interests, butsfor thoseIof the
general public as we'll.
''Still another peril is in the lack of
confidence in some of the new indust-
rial combinations. When great cor
poration like the shipbuilding trust is
forced into the courts it causes invest
ors to fight shy of others, aud the re-
suit is bound to be a disturbance of
financial conditions. This probably
will right itself, and in the end may
bring about a healthier"condition of
affairs by wedding out combinations
that are not on firm basis. But in
the meantime some one is bound to
suffer and the public faith is sure to
receive a shock that will have an in
definite effect,'

Brings Suit Against the City and
County to Have Tax Deeds De-
cIared Null and Void.
WILL ESTABLISH A PRECEDENT
Company Claims That the City Had No
Right to Assess Depot Property For
Paving and Sewer Tax.

Summons and complaint was
served this morning on City Clerk
Gus K. Jacob, Mayor Charles H
Pfennig and County Clerk William
Crosby in the suit Of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway Company VS..
The City Of Kenosha, The County Of
Kenosha and w. B. Smith. The suit
promises to be one of the most inter
esting ever brought in the county and
will establish precedent in regard to
the taxation of property held by the
railway companies and used by them
for railway purposes.
The suit is the outgrowth of the
taxation of the property now used as
a site for the freight depot. In 1901
the city decided to pave Grand avenue
and the pavement was laid in front of
the property owned by the railway com
pany. Incidentally the city also put
in number of sewer connections for
the company, and the total bill for
pavement and sewers amounted to
$116.73. A little interest accumulate
ed on the taxes, bringing the total
amount claimed up to little over
| $3.50. The property was sold for taxes
in 1902 to w. B. Smith of Waukegan,
and he is named as the third defend
ant in the suit. 1t was also sold
again this year and no one bidding for
it was taken by the county.
In the complaint the company claims
that the property is part of its rail
way system, and that it has been used
for the uses of a railway company for
the past ten years or more. It is
shown by the complaint that accord
ing to the state laws governing the
taxation of railways the property is
exempt from taxation, and on this
ground the company demands that
the courts declare all tax deeds issued
against the property null and void.
The city and county will undoubtedly
of the railway company would estab-
| 1ish a precedent which would effect
taxes levied in other years. The paw
| ing of the street and the building of
the sewers was of an enormous benefit
to the property of the Northwestern
company and for this reason the at
torneys for the city believe that the
company should pay these special
assessments. It is claimed that these
assessments are in no way governed
by the law of the state in regard to
the taxing of the property of the rail
way companies, and that there can be
no escape for the company in settling,
W. B. Smith who has partial lien on
the property by the virtue of his tax
certificate purchased year ago, is a
resident of Waukegan and he has not
been served with summons in the
case.
According to the wording in the
summons the defendants will have to
appear in court and answer the suit
within the next twenty days.
The suit is important, not only IN
Kenosha, but also in every city in the
state where public improvements are
made under the present system of levy
ing taxes. Nearly all the cities in
the state working under special chart
ers have the same trouble with the
railway companies, and the suit will
in this way assume state wide inn
portance.
