MISSING TWO YEARS.
William 0. Eddy Secures a Divorce
From His Spouse Who Ran Away
About Two Years Ago.
WOMAN MAY BE IN NEW YORK.

f After waiting two years for the re-
turn of his unfaithfu1 spouse, Will
1iam @. Eddy, a we'll known resident
of the town of Wheat1and, was
granted an absolute divorce from his
wife, Emma Eddy, in the Circuit
court at Racine last Saturday after
noon. The case was an unusual one
on account of the fact that Mrs.
Eddy had been missing from her
home for more than two years, and
every effort to locate her or to find
any trace of her whereabouts has
been futile.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eddy had been mar
ried four years ago and had lived hap
PLY in the town Of Wheat1and for a
few months. Mrs. Eddy, however, was
from the city and she could not find
happiness in the wi1ds of the town of
Wheat1and. In June 1901, she left
her home stating that she was going
out to visit friends. This was the
last ever seen or heard of her. The
husband at once started out to search
lOI uCI duu ne DG11SVGQ Indt she ndQ
gone to New York, but after employ
ing men to search for her there he
was able to find no-trace of her. He
next tried Chicago with the same re-
suit. Hoping against hope he re
turned to the old home III the town of
Wheat1and and waited for the return
of his recreant spouse.
Mrs. Eddy never wrote to her thus
band and three weeks ago he began
the action for a legal separation. In
his complaint is alleged desertion
The wife was not represented in court
and the divorce was granted by de-
fault. Mrs. Eddy was twenty-eight
years of age and is said 70 be very
beautiful woman.
She was well liked among the peo-
pie Of the town Of Wheat1and, and
none of her friends can account for
her strange actions in leaving her
husband and her home.

Democratic State Convention Instrucis
Delegates to Vote as a Unit for
&c. Wall.
RACINE CONTEST sTIRs MEETING
Kenosha is Not Represented in Delegation
Sent to St. Louis.-Hearst Men
Not Wanted.

Every detail Of the Wall program
was carried out without a hitch at
yesterdays Democratic State Con-
vention and solid delegation of
twenty-six men were sent to the ST.
Louis convention with ironc1ad in
structions to vote as a unit for Ed
ward &c. Wall for the presidential
nomination on the democratic ticket.
The Hearst faction was swept off its
feet by the Overwhelming array of
the Wall boomers and at no stage of
the proceedings were the former
sufficiently in evidence to cast the
slightest donbt over the result of the
convention.
The delegates to st. Louis were
ordered to support Wall, until his
name shall be withdrawn by two
thirds vote of the Wisconsin dele
gates, and to vote as unit on any
matter that comes before the conven-
ton. The only feature of the con-
vention was sharp clash on the seat
ing of the Racine delegates, but after
two hours wrang1e, the matter was
settled by seating the Wall men.
The.Hearst men are very sore over
the defeat, and it is impossible to tell
what effect yesterdays proceedings
may have on the state campaign.

thousands Of cases of small fruits and
berries.
A cold storage plant at this point
would make a good investment for it's
owners.
The Climate is delightful, although
the sun shines brightly in the sum
mer there is always breeze stirring.
A case of sunstroke is an unknown
quantity, and one must always sleep
with blanket during the warmest
nights of the season, as the nights are
always coo1sgand refreshing. This
winter has been continuation of de-
1ightfu1 weather, as only one night
did the mercury reach the zero point,
and at all other times was close to Is
degrees above. We had but one light
fall of snow, and that melted before
10 o'clock the next morning, and such
cold weather as we have only lasts
day OF two at the longest. Our farm
ers are able: .p1ow all winter long,
and are thus enabled to get the harv-
est about sixlsweeks ahead of their
Northern brethren, besides obtaining
two crops Of most ali vegetables and
grains.
The country outside of the towns
and cities, as yet, has been very little
improved, although most of it is now
under fence. The houses are small
and poorly built, and the roads have
never been worked nor any bridges
built, as there are no taxes yet.
The Indians and negroes are very
| poor farmers and will be very glad to
dispose of their lands to some one
more competent, as soon as the re-
strictions regarding their sale are re-
moved, which is rapidly being done.
Northern men may secure long leases
upon the lands now and purchase
later on, excellent land at a very rea-
sonab1e figure, in what will soon be
the richest farming country on earth,
as every one has heard of the richness
Of Oklahoma, and those in a position
to know, say that the Indian Terri
tory is by far the better of the two.
This country offers the greatest in
dlecements to all kinds of farmers,
merchants, manufacturers and me-
chanics. We are rich in many ways
and our cities are rapidly: growing
with the surrounding countryldeve1op-
ing.
Every one coming to the st. Louis
fair should grasp the opportunity to
continue their trip little and visit
this great undeve1oped country, and
should any of my Northern friends
wish further information upon any
line of industry, or the conditions Of
the country, I shall be pleased to fur
nish the same at all times.
Yours very sincerely,

THERE is strong feeling in adj
ministration and senatorial circles
that Senator Quar1es is well deserving
of reelection by the Republicans of
Wisconsin. Everyone says he has
made good senator. Though mod
est man and not one who tries to rush
to the front and make brave show,
he has shown his ability and useful
ness and is generally looked upon as
one of the rising men of the Senate.
He has laid the foundation of an ad-
nirab1e career, and if his state gives
him a second term he easily will rank
as one of the first dozen men of the
Senate, before that term comes to an
end, In Spooner, Wisconsin has a
senator who is regarded by all observ-
ers as the best equipped public man
of our country at the present day, ard
he and Quarles work so well together
and The latter is so fast coming
forward on his own merits, leading
Republicans think it would be pity
if Wisconsin were to make any
changes in her representation in the
upper branch at this time. Washing

ALL signs indicate that the Gov
ernor has we'll matured plan to I'M
seat, with the connivance of the State
Central Committee, a sufficient num-
Der of the regularly elected delegates
to give him a majority in the Republi-
can Convention, but he has mistaken
the temper and character Of the peo-
pie of Wisconsin, if he thinks that
they will calmly submit to any such
usurpation of power. Even those of
his followers who are willing to pass
over the sale of a state Office to a book
company, would hardly countenance
such a high handed proceeding as he
evidently contemp1ates.

VoTING machines have passed the
experimental stage and are now in
successful operation in many cities.
Kenosha voters are quite generally
in favor of giving these machines a
trial in this city, and why not do it at
the fall election? With the machine
in operation the result of an election
is known almost as soon as the polls
are closed, and the election officials
are saved an immense amount Of
work counting the ballots. The
ticket will be so large this fall that if
any split tickets are voted at all it is
going to take the te11ers hours to de-
termine the result. Arrangements
can be made to. give any Of the differ
ent makes of voting machines trial
without any expense to the city and
if it is decided to purchase them, the
machines can be paid for with the
money saved in election expenses by
their use. The manufacturers are
willing to wait for their pay until the
machine can earn it.
