The next legislature is to be asked

The next legislature is to be asked
to make wife desertion more serious
offense in Wisconsin. A large num-
Der of the dependents thrown on the
several counties for support are
brought to that condition by the crime
of wife desertion, and the authorities
charged with the administration of
the poor laws are convinced that a
change in the law of the state making
abandonment felony instead Of a
misdemeanor, as at present, would be
beneficial. The Kenosha authorities
have had considerable experience in
dealing with this class of criminals
and they are convinced that the pre-
sent law is inadequate. There are
several persons on the dependent
poor list of this city that would not be
there long if there was any way for
the police to get after the men charged
with abandonment, but once outside
of the state they are safe.

If, after a careful examination of

Wiling and Safeguarding men who

upon the Governors organs, that
they dare question even the in

ASKS A DIVORCE.
Mrs. Laura Theresa Naylor Asks a Legal
Separation From Her Husband.

Separation From Her Husband.
Papers were served last night in the
divorce action of Laura Theresa Nay
1or VS.. George A. Nay1or, her hus-
band. In her complaint Mrs. Nay1or
demands an absolute divorce from her
husband and alleges grounds of cruel
and inhuman treatment and failure to
provide. The husband has not filed
an answer to the complaint, but in an
interview this morning he declared
that the charges of his wife were
without foundation. The charges are
of a sensational nature.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Nay1or are well
known in Kenosha, and their domes-
tic troubles have not been unknown to
their friends. They were married three
years ago, and in the last few weeks
rumors of a divorce suit have been
heard many times.
Mrs. Nay1or is a daughter of Will
lam H. Drake, and she is now living
at the home of her father. She de-
mands temporary a1imony and suit
money. The case will probably be
tried at the June term of the Circuit
court.

THE churches are taking more
united stand against divorce, but the
action recently taken by the Fedora

effective. Social ostracism is more
feared by the offenders than all the
thunders of the church.

ST. PAUL ROAD SEEKS KENosHA
Reported That Survey Has Been Made for
Branch From Truesden to Kenosha.

1t is again reported that the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railway
company is seeking to secure an en-
trance toEKenosha, and the report goes
so far as to state that the engineers
of the company have made a survey of
a proposed right of way for the steam
road. It is claimed that the surveyors
will return again tomorrow to further
consider the possibility of right of
way along the route laid out and to
set stakes for grade.
According to the stories, prominent
manufacturing plants in Kenosha are
backing this the latest effort of the
St. Paul company to get into Keno
sha, and Hf this is true it is possible
that the move may be pushed to a sue
cessfu1 conclusion.
For years an agreement has been in
force between the Northwestern and
St. Paul companies by which the lat
ter agreed to keep out of Kenosha.
Any effort to build into the city would
result in this being broken, and it
might bring about complications of a
very serious nature.

Files Suit For Heavy Damages.

Sylvester Walker, an employe Of
the Jennings Rice Milling Co. ut this
place, who, it will be remembered was
the victim of very peculiar accident
last fall by having been struck by -
Dull thrown by railroad engine, has
hled suit against the railroad company
claiming damages to the amount of
S25, 900.
Mr.. Walker was standing at the
crossing where Polk street and the
railroad intersect, waiting for an in
coming train topass. On the opposite
side of the track a bull was approach
ing and as it reached the track it was
struch by locomotive, tossed a few
1eet into the air and landed suuarely
against Walker, inlicting injuries
from which it required several DAVIS to
recover.
Concerning the suit, which was filed
IN Lake Charles, Saturdays Ameri-
can says:
Sylvester Walker this morning
brought suit in the district court
against the Louisiana Western Rail-
way Company for $25, 600 damages be-
cause that company threw a COW Mt
him and hit him.
The petition alleges that on the 26th
day OF last September Walker was
walking along on the embankment of
the switch of that company at Welsh.
where the public generally passed
both to and from the passenger and
freight depot, when, as the petition
quantity words it, she was, without
warning or opportunity to escape,
struck upon the body by an OK or
COW, the said OK or COW being at that
moment struck by locomotive or
train of cars of the said defendant
company, which was the cause of
the said OK or COW being thrown
against the body of your petitioner. {"
This is indeed one more remarkable
case, and should the plaintiff win his
suit the company will undoubtedly re-
commend to its employees that the
practice of throwing oxen and COWS at
pedestrians along the track be discon-
tinued.

DiversificatiOn the Solution.

L am under promise to write an ar.
ticle for leading agricultural jour.
| nal OF the middle west, on the rice
raising business of this gulf coast
region. l am sure the whole matter
is an interesting one, and one having
some difficult problems to solve.
We find the rice raisers are intelli-
gent, active, pushing people, not a
whit behind any we find anywhere.
These rice growers are equal to the
occasion and they bring things to pass
II they have fighting chance. Then
too, they have an ideal rice country.
No trouble to raise the stuff if the
conditions are met.
Here is rice, rice, rice by the mil
lions Of rice-more rice than money
and the trouble seems to be to CON
vert the millions of rice into millions
of money. If the millions of rice
could be turned into millions of mon
ey, to be sure, this land would be the
raisers' paradise. Every rice raiser
would wear June morning smile and
everything else would go a-juning
But there is where the rub comes in.
There is many a slip between the
cup and the lip" We've got the rice
and we want to get rid of it. We are
loaded and want to unload, and looks
like we've got to unload some way,
some how. Looks like we are oyer
loaded and badly 80.
There is a hitch some way and there
is something wrong somewhere. My
wife, over in Texas, pays ten cents a
pound for her little rice, and it is not
the best at that. Here are millions of
rice down here and millions of dollars
tied up in it. The rice raisers would
smile June morning smile if they
could get three cents for their output.
There is slip between the cup and
the lip, to be sure. The rice eater and
the rice raiser can't get together
somehow.
AS we see it the thing can't stay this
way. The rice raiser will have to
even things up some way. What's
the use of loading up with more. when
he can't unload what he's got.
Texas farmers got into the same
hole on cotton. The boil weevil got
him out He tried diversifying. 1t
works like charm. Looks like the
rice raiser is up to the same PROPOSE
ton. If folks wont, or can't eat his
rice, hogs, horses, cattle and poultry
will and they sell. This is great
country and diversifcation may be
the solution. j. w. LIVELY.

Ere CHI Presbyterian Church.

Fridays New Orleans Picayune had
the following to say of the French
Presbyterian church recently estab-
lished at Manchester: The first French
Presbyterian church in Louisiana and
in the South, and in all probability
in this country, has lately been Or
gained at Manchester, seven miles
from Lake Charles. Services are held
regularly in French by Rev. P. P.
Briol, Presbyterian Missionary to the
French people of Louisiana. Most of
the members of this church, which
numbers eighteen, are Canadian born
and all the rest are children of Cana
dians. The church was organized on
Sunday, March ID, and has eighteen
members, two deacons and seven
trustees. A church building has. not
yet been erected, but will be before
long. A plat of ground for an edifice
has been offered them, and there is
little doubt but that they will soon
construct for themselves a house of
worship.

May Extend Field Southwark.

S. D. Felt, of Hamilton, Texas,
through the Davidson-M Martin, Real
Estate and Loan Company; last week
purchased of Justice Samuel Black
ford ten acres in the east half of the
southwest quarter of section twenty
eight, township nine, range five, pay
ing therefor 800 per acre. Mr.. Felt
desired twenty acres, but Mr.. Black
ford refused to sell the twenty at that
price, finally agreeing to lease ten
acres for royalty consideration OF
one-eighth of the oil, STIMULATING in
the contract that drilling should com
mence within sixty days
This land is located almost q mile
southwest of the proven field, lying
Immediately south of the Southern
Pacific railroad track.
Mr.. Felt is interested in the Texas
Oil Company and has had much ex-
perience in drilling, having recently
drilled to depth of 5000 feet near
Sealy, Texas, only to find dry hole.
AS he is the owner of two drilling rigs
it is hoped that he will push the de-
velopment of his holdings and sue
coed in establishing the fact that oil
does exist south of the already proven
field.

IMPORTANT OIL LAND LEASES.
Big Mound Oil Company to Resume
Active Operations Here.

Some important land leases for oil
development purposes were effected
here Friday, through H. A. Davidson,
local representative of the Big Mound
Oil Company, of Des Moines, Iowa,
by which that company secured leases
on $50 acres of land from Omar, Clar-
ply and Troville Lognion and p. J..
Unkel, located southwest of Welsh
J. v. Saum and j. P. Flynn, of Des
Moines, directors in the company,
consummated the deal, which was sim
ply renewal of oil leases, although
considerable new territory was includ-
ed. Mr.. Saum and Flynn claim tina
their company will at once resume
operations on the Lognion tract and
they appear hopeful of ultimate sue
cess.
This company has expended about
500, 600 in an effort to find oil at Roa-
noke, five miles east of Welsh, where
it sunk three wells, and has also drill
ed wells at other places in Louisiana,
all, however, being dry holes. They
then drilled last year on the Lognion
farm, about seven miles southeast of
Welsh, and twisted off their pipe at a
depth of 400 feet, just as they were
nearing success. This was while the
president of the company, Gen. J. B.
weaver, was here in person. Gen.
Weaver being busy now in Iowa, Mr..
Saum, as assistant manager, has come
to reside at Welsh and direct active
operations. Mr.. Saum states that
they have, as shown in the abandoned
well, fully ninety feet of oil sand, be-
tween 1900 and 400 feet down, and he
is quite confident of finding new and
good oil field on the Lognion and
Unkel lands. The company owns a
drilling rig, and intends to commence
development at once

Dodging Taxes.

Tax lodging has become so widely
prevalent in the United States that
its criminality has almost ceased to
be recognized. In every community
and especially in very large cities,
there are scores of men whose word as
to every other matter is as good as
their bond, but who every year swear
off or otherwise evade the greater part
of their lawful taxes. Tax. lodging
is not only legally criminal, but ii
inflicts moral and material injury
on all who do not practice it. There
is a certain amount of revenue that
must be raised for public purposes,
and If the dishonest part of the com.
munity does not pay its share the hon
est part must pay more than its share.
The public official who tries to check
this species of wrong doing is certain
to incur the i'll will of many of the
individuals directly affected. but he
may repose in the assurance that his
course Will be heartily indorsed by
the community as whole. Kansas
