SECRETARY WILSON'S Investigations
into the possibilities of reducing the
cost of producing beet sug ar led him to
make the prediction that beet sugar
can soon be produced for 2 cents a
pound, and that within five years the
country will be producing its entire
supply. His announcement does away
with any possible excuse for opposi-
ton to the Cuban treaty on the part of
the beet sugar interests. The United
States is morally bound to do some
thing for Cuba. If we can help her to
help herself, and at the same time Sc
cure an exclusive market for American
producers and manufacturers, SO much
the better for all parties concerned. A
treaty with Cuba would open market
for American goods to many times the
value of the whole beet sugar product,
and the idea that all the producers Of
this country are to be shut out of the
Cuban market because an industry
that pays from 40 to. so per cent profit
fears competition ought not to be toll
Grated.

charge of the crane. The work of
clearing up the wreck had been nearly
completed when the center pin of the
crane broke, throwing the crane from
the car. Sanderson remained at his
post and was thrown under the wrecked
crane. Before he could be extracted
from this perilous position a portion of
the wrecked crane fell on one of the
steam pipes of the engine and the pipe
exploded. The steam was thrown di-
rectly on the PROSTATE form of the
man. and before his friends could aid
him he had been terribly burned about
the back and under the arms.
Suffering intense pain the man was
removed to the hotel and DIR. KimbaIl
of this city called to attend him. He
suffered considerably, but it is said
that there is no danger OF the burns
resulting fatally. Mrs. Sanderson was
called to Salem from Chicago Tuesday
night and is now caring for her in irred
husband.
The wreck of the crane made the
pile-up on the tracks a serious one,
and it required all night to remove the
debris. Trains were sent around by
way of Chicago during the night, and
this morning the road is open for traf-
fc. 1t is thought that the spreading
of rail, caused by the cold weather,
was the original cause of the wreck.
Sanderson is we'll known among
railway men, and his painful injury
caused considerable regret among his
fellow employees. He will be removed
to one of the Chicago hospitals as soon
as possible.

The decision of the Postal authori-
ties to establish rural free delivery
routes only where the roads are kept
in such good repair that the service
can be given with the minimum of ex-
pense, will help along the good roads
movement wonderfully. The farmers
ali want free delivery. They appre-
ciate the advantages of the system apd
want to secure them with as little de-
lay as possible, and in order to do so
the roads will be put in shape to pass
the Government inspection wherever
routes are planned. When the choice
lies between repairing the roads and
having a regular daily mail delivery
or not repairing1them and having, to
go to the nearestl postoffice for mail,
the roads will be repaired in short
order.

WAUKEGAN BARS THE WAY

City Council of Southern Neighbor Refuses
Franchise to North Shore Railway.
The city of Waukegan has set up an
effectual bar for the completion of the
interurban railway between Chicago
and Milwaukee, and Tuesday evening
the City Council of that city by a
unanimous vote decided to refuse to
grant a franchise to the Chicago and
| North Shore Railway company. This
company had planned a line to con-
meet the lines now built, but with the
attitude shown by the people of Wau.
kegan 1t appears that there will be a
hard struggle before the line gets
through the city. OF course it is pos.
sible for the proposed line to find a
connection through the city by way of
the Chicago and Milwaukee road and
this will be accepted if no other fran.
chise can be secured. The company,
however, had planned to build high
speed line along the lake shore.
The city of Waukegan seems to have
taken sudden dislike to the plans Of
Alexander Clark, who is pushing the
new line, and it is possible that some
other company will be asked to take
up the scheme to get the line through
Waukegan.

ONE of the evils of the rummage
sale is just becoming apparent. The
very poor who have been accustomed
to depend upon donations from the
charitable people of the churches for
their winters supply of clothing have
not received the usual number of cast
of garments this winter, and many of
them are complaining bitterly. The
garments which, in the ordinary course
of events, would fud their way into
the homes of the poor, are now sold at
the rummage sales sgiven by the vari-
Gus churches at prices that put them as
much out of the reach of the very poor
as the higher priced goods of the
stores.

and Mrs. ]. L. Cleary, andsMr. Reuben
L. Bristow, of Chicago which was cele-
brated at st. James church at nine
O'Clock this morning. In honor of the

den by the profusion of palms and
carnations.
The wedding was attended by more
than two-hundred of the friends of the

being well represented at the cere
mony. The wedding march was
played by Miss Lena Wa1lig, organist
of the church. The bride entered the
church accompanied by her father.
She was beautifully gowned in going
away gown of blue broadcloth and
wore a picture hat to match. She car
ried shower bouquet of brides roses.
Following the bride came the maid of
honor Miss Mary Cleary sister of the
bride. The maid Of honor was attired
in blue broadcloth and carried white
carnations. At the altar the bridal
party was met by the groom and Mr..
James L. Cleary the best man.
As'the music of the wedding march
died away the couple knelt before the

the decorations. The tables at which
covers were laid for fifty were pretti1y

make room for the placing of new and
better ice.
The greatest activity is shown at
Powers Lake, Twin Lakes and Salem,
and at each of these points the forces
of men employed on the ice harvest is
larger than in any previous year.
Thousands of men are now employed
and new men are being added to the
forces daily. The force now employed
is sufficient to handle large crop but
the ice companies are planning to put
up more ice than ever before and this
will demand an increase in the force.
Many men who have worked as farm
hands in the county have found work
on the lakes for the winter and agents
of the companies were in Kenosha
yesterday looking for idle men. The
Ice Cutters Union is in full control on
all the lakes and the uniform wage of
ST. IS day is being paid to all cutters.
AS in other years the companies are
violation the laws by not fencing in
the great holes cut in the ice but thus
far no accidents have been reported
from the lake districts.
District Attorney Buckmaster has
ordered the men in charge of the work
to provide ample protection for the
lives of the ice cutters and it is prob
able that there wifi be a number of
arrests in the near future if the com
panies continue to violate these laws.

THE Main street bridge is at last
open for traffic and the merchants are
again receiving occasional calls from
their North side customers. The little
bill of the ferry company yet remains
to be settled but it is probable that the
element in the Council which was
powerful enough to prevent the build
ing of foot bridgeswill be able to get
it paid without too much trouble. The
hundreds of citizens whose business
compelled them to use the ferry daily
or walk around by way of the Grand
avenue bridge and the merchants
whose petition for temporary bridge
was ignored by the Council will be able
to ascertain who is responsible for all
their troubles when the bill comes aup
in the Council. A foot bridge would
have cost at the outside under $500
without making any deduction on ac-
count of the sale of the lumber used in
it, and anything over that amount
which may be paid for services of the
ferry is an entirely unnecessary ex-
pense to the taxpayers of the city.

COUNTY RUNS BEHIND.
Report of Register of Deeds Shows Some
Interesting Statistics.

Interesting Statistics.
The increase of population in Keno
sha county is not keeping pace with
the increase noted in the city, and this
fact is shown in forcible manner by
the report of the Register of Deeds for
last year. During the year the report
shows that there were 564 births in
the county, and Of this number 424
were reported from the city and $40
from the country. Bristol has been
exceedingly shy in the matter Of ba-
bies during the year and but two births
were reported from the town. Wheat
land and Randall were also little neg
1igent in the increase of the popula.
ton and each town reports three
births. Somers led the county with
fortytwo births, Salem had thirty.
seven. Paris twenty, and Pleasant
Prairie twenty-nine. Brighton showed
a slump in the baby market and re-
ports only four.
It is the opinion of the Register of
Deeds that plenty of babies have been
port of the births has been made TO
the proper officials and a wholesale
prosecution is Liable to be started
against doctors and midwives. The
law demands the report of all births
and furnishes punishment for failure
to report births in the way of fine of
from $50 to $40 for each offence.
The statistics of the Register of
Deeds office when compared with
those of last year show that the exact
number of deaths occurring in the
county in each year we're 275. There
were 273 marriages in the county this
year compared with 24O for last year.
The reports show steady progress in
all the vital statistics.

WRECK At SALEM.
James SandersOn Of Chicago Badly
SCaIded by Explosion of Steam
Pipe After the Wreck.
TRAFFIC IS BADLY DELAYED.
Coal Car Is Dumped on the Track and Crane
is Overthrow While the Wreck was
Being Cleared Away.

James Sanderson, railway engineer
in the employ of the North Western
railway company, met with a serious
accident at the town of Salem late
Tuesday afternoon. He was in charge
of wreck train which had been sent
to Salem to clear away small pile-up
on the track, and while at work the
crane on the wreck train was broken
and Sanderson was thrown under the
wreck and seriously scalded. He is
now at the hotel in Salem, and his
condition is not considered dangerous.
The first wreck occurred early in the
afternoon, when coal car was ditched
by the spreading of rail. The wrecker
was ordered to remove the debris from
the track, and Sandersou was placed in

ONE result of the recent great min
ers' strike has been to bring to light
the fact that several counties in
Northern Wisconsin have immense
hidden stores of fuel in the shape of
peat beds, which will come in good for
future use. The process of preparing
this material for market is, as yet, i'm
perfect, but experiments are in pro
gress which it is expected will result
satisfactorily. Among the counties
where beds have been discovered are
Chippewa, Sawyer, Pierce and Villas.
Some of the deposits are of great
depth. Peat has been used in Ireland
as fuel for over 900 years. What has
been done there can be done here also.

TO HAVE AN INSTITUTE.
After Many Years of Neglect Fire Send
Farmers Institute to Kenosha.

After Many Years of Neglect a Fire Sends
Farmers Institute to Kenosha.
A dispatch from Madison this morn
ing states that it has been decided to
hold farmers institute in this city on
January 20 and d. This institute was
not asked for by the farmers of the
neighborhood, but the fact that fire
had destroyed a hall in Brownsville,
in which an institute was to be held
on these dates left them open and the
institute conductors decided that the
city of Kenosha was sadly in need Of
instruction along the farming line and
selected this city as place to hold the
meetings.
The best conductors in the State will
be in charge of the meetings and it is
probable that they will be of great in
terest to the people of the county inter-
ested in farm work. More definite an
nouncement of the two days meeting
will be made later in the month.

rs ON IN EARNEST.
Ice Cutters at the Lakes of the County and
First Shipments Are Made Monday.

First Shipments Are Made Monday.
The ice cutting season is on in
earnest and the first train load of ice
from the inland lakes of Kenosha
county passed through the city last
night en- route to Chicago.
On every lake in the county the
crews of men have started work and
splendid ice of thickness of from IA
to 20 inches is being stored away in
the big houses or shipped by train
loads to Chicago to fill the immediate
demand. The ice is the best ever
harvested on the lakes of the county.
1t is clear as crystal and very thick for
this season of the year. In other
years all the ice taken from the lakes
in the earlier part of the season was
shipped to Chicago but this year the
ice is being stored away in the large
houses and the filling Of the Chicago
houses will in large measure be left
until later in the year. This fact is
due to the scarcity of cars. Since the
settlement of the coal strike every
available car has been used for the
transportation of coal and it is now
almost impossible for the Northwest
ern company to furnish the large num-
Der of cars needed for the ice carrying
trade.
It is probable that within another
month many extra trains will be added
to the freight schedule in order to
carry the ice to Chicago. The demand
for ice in Chicago is not as large as it
usually is at this period of the year on
account of the big harvest of last
year. The managers of the big ice
companies fearing the result Of the
trial of the ice tax law shipped every
possible cake of ice out of the county
and it was stored away in houses all
along the railway for use if the tax
law was declared valid. Much of this
ice is still stored in the houses and
some Of it will have to be removed to
