Twenty-Five thousands American
farmers have migrated to Manitoba
this spring, and the Canadians are get
ting little unesy lest these pioneers
may sometime start movement for
the annexation of the province 10 the
United tates. But as there is really
very little difference in the govern
ment of the two countries so far SIS
the rights of the farmers are concerned
it isn't probable that the immigrants
from south the boundary have any
sinister motives. What they are after
is land and room to expand. The home
stead law has resulted in the taking
up of all the available arabic land in
the United States and Manitoba is the
'last chance" 1t is great cattle

FILE A BIG CLAIM.
Creditors of the Black Cat Garter Com
pany Begin The Assault on the
Estate of w. w. Cooper.
MANY LARGE CLAIMS EXPECTED.

The creditors of the defunct "B1ack
Cat Garter Company" Of Chicago,
have begun the assault on the estate
of the late Willis w. Cooper, and it is
expected that within the next few
weeks claims amounting to many
thousand dollars will be filed against
the estate. The first of the batch of
claims is filed by the City Button Com
pany, of New York, the amount being
$2,254.05. Together with the claim is
filed a statement that Mr.. Cooper had
personally guaranteed the payment
of thesbil1s of the Chicago company,
and for this reason it is thought that
the estate will be forced to pay the
larger amount of the sc1aims against
the company. Mr.. Cooper had guar
anteed the bills of the company in
New York to the extent of So, 500, and
the bills filed with the claim show
that the company had delivered al
most the entire amount of goods con-
tracted for. Thus far no trustee has
been appointed to take charge of the
bankrupt Chicago company, and it is
possible that when such action is
taken the assets of the company will
be found sufficient to meet a small
proportion of the debts. It is claimed
that the liabilities of the company are
far in excess of the assets, and Mr..
Cooper was the sole surety for the
company.
The refusal of the board of missions
of the Methodist church to accept the
legacy left by Mr.. Cooper has caused
a great sensation in the world of
Methodism, and none of the members
of the church cares to talk for publ
cation in regard to the matter. All of
them insist, however, that the fact
that Mr.. Cooper met death in a place
of amusement not countenanced by
the church had nothing to do with the
action of the board in refusing the
.pcquest.

STRIKERS GET AID.
Men Employed on Country Lines Of The
Citizens Company Join the
Union Men.
THE COMPANY OFFERS NO TERMS.

The strike among the employees of
the Citizens Telephone and Tele-
graph Company is still on, and it now
looks as if nearly all the electrical
workers ii the employ of the company
would be pulled into the trouble The
men did not return to work this morn
ing as expected, and they declare that
they are ready to stay in Kenosha for
the next six months in order to secure
the concessions that they have de-
manded. On the other hand, the man
ayers OF the company are equally
firm, and they have absolutely re-
fused to grant any of the demands Of
the strikers, stating that they will lay
aside the construction work for an in
definite period rather than to allow
the men to dictate to them All work
OF the company is at standsti11
The strikers had a small victory this
morning, when they managed to Sc
cure the aid of several of the men EN-
ployed on the country lines of the
company, and the ranks of the union
men were increased by fifteen in this
manner. The men had started to
work, but it is claimed by the man
ayers of the company that the strik-
ers pulled them off the wagons and
forced them to join the strike. This
is denied by the strikers, who declare
that the men are all members of the
union and that they voluntarily Joined
the ranks of the strikers.
Few extensions are being made in
the city by the company, and Man
ager Johnson announced today that
the entire force would be discharged
at once and that the work of construc-
ton would be delayed until such
time as men could be secured to take
the place of the strikers. There seems
to be no possible settlement of
the strike. The men declare that the
union is so fully in charge of the trade
that it will be impossible for the man
ayers of the Kenosha company to Sc
cure other men to take their places,
and for this reason they seem to be-
1ieve that they will ultimately secure
the concessions demanded.

Veteran Police Officer Pleads Guilty to
Charge Of Forgetting to Attend
to Duties.
MORE MEN NEEDED FOR POLICE
Fire and Police Commission Hold an Inter
esting Session With Plenty of Import
ant Business

Honest Joe" Newhouse, the nestor
of the Kenosha Police department,
was arraig1ed before the members of
the police and fire commission at their
regular meeting last night on a charge
of neglect Of duty" He pleaded
guilty to the charges which had been
brought against him, and the COM
missioners fixed the penalty at a
reprimand and a forfeiture Of three
days pay. He remains on the force
pending good behavior.
Officer Newhouse had been accused
of violating his duties as an officer,
by leaving his beat between the hours
of eleven p. m, and three a. M, thus
leaving the interests of the city UNI
protected for that time. It is claimed
that this had been done on several
occasions and the officer, in justifica-
ton of his actions, pleaded that he
had been i'll and had been forced to
leave his beat in order to seek rest.
He had not been 1oafng in any for
hidden place but had gone to his home
and retired.
The main fault came in the fact
that he had made no mention Of the
fact to- his superior officers, and his
delinquency had been discovered by
one of the members of the commission
in person. The reprimand of Officer
Newhouse will serve as an example to
40 nFE ~ 4
several Of them have neglected their
duties but no evidence has been
brought against the other members of
the force.
ThesBoard of Police and Fire Com
mfssioners are in a quandary on &C
countsof the lack of applications for
places onssthe police force. The list
now includes but two names and it
will probably be necessary to appoint
two new men within short time and
then the list will be entirely depleted.
The lmembers of the Board stand
ready to employ any good and able
bodied men of good character and
political preferment will not be al
lowed to take any part in the selection.
In order to secure applications from
the right kind of men, no appoint
ments have been made to fiji vacancies
but they will be made at a called
meeting of the commission to be held
within fortnight
The work of the commission is pro-
crossing very favorab1y and the men
now in office seem to be living up to
the rules laid down for them. Charles
Rottman, who has been serving as
driver at the Central engine house,
has advanced to be a regular member
of the department, and he will be
stationed by the chief of the depart
ment. It is possible that the com
mission will add new man to the de-
partment at it's next meeting.
