PROGRAMME FOR THE WEEK
 IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE

Washington. Apiil 10.-The appropria- tion bills this week will take precedence of all business in the senate, but 1t is more than probable the political discus sion will take up most of the time nomi- nally devoted to appropriations. The postoffice bill will divide attention early in the week with the conference report on the Indian bill. By the time these two measures shall be disposed of, 1t is ex- pected that the sundry civil bill will have been reported from the committee on ap- propriations. It Is quite generally under stood that several democratic senators will reply to Senator Spooners speech of yesterday.
 Senator German will be among the number.
 There may be an effort made to get up the Panama canal bill during the week, but nothing will interfere with consid- eration of the appropriation bills.

IGORROTES WILL HAVE
 DELICIOUS BAKED DOGS

St. Louis, April 10.-There Is great joy in the Igorrote reservation at the worlds fair. The Igorrotes are going to have a dog feast for which all arrangements have been made.
 Six delicious dogs were mysteriously tethered to stakes in the reservation to- day and carefully guarded by the savage Igorrotes from the Philippines. It could not be ascertained where the dogs came from, but there they were, and each dog was being given a full meal every time he looked hungry, to fatten him quickly. By common consent only four dogs will be served at the feast. the beauty of two saving their lives. They are a. water spa

YOUNG MAN KILLED.
Fatal Affray Result of Disagreement
 In a trade.

Atlanta, Ga, April 1o.-A special to the Atlanta Constitution from Quitman, Ga, says:
 News has just reached here of the kill ing of Tobe Robinson, Jr., at Barney to- day by a young man named Webb. The cause of the trouble which led to the killing grew out of business transaction. Robinson sold Webb horse and in the settlement there was disagreement. They met in Barney today and Robinson, it is said, abused Webb and was in the act of drawing a pistol when Webb drew his pistol and shot Robinson twice through the heart, killing him instantly.
 Webb gave himself up to the authori- ties. Both men are well connected.

RUMORS OF WAR ARE NOT
 CONFIRMED IN LONDON

London, April 11.-No confirmation has reached London of the various rumors, most of which came by way of Paris, of land fighting, landings by Japanese on the Liao Tung peninsula, the capture of Japanese transports by Russians, etc.
 Dispatches from various points agree that the Russians have completely evac- uated Korea, but beyond this there is little reliable news.
 A Che Foo despatch which reaches Lon don by way of Rome asserts that the Japanese squadron with twenty steamers was seen making for Port Arthur.

importance that will come before the house this week include $S,000,000 appro- priation to carry on necessary river and harbor work; the general deficiency bill, which is expected to come from the ap- propriations committee early in the week, the Cooper bill amending the Philippine civil government act by authorizing a bond issue by the island government for internal improvements, and guarantee
 ing per cent earnings on capital to be invested in railroad building in the is- lands; the statehood bill and conference reports as they may come up for con- sideration.
 The river and harbor and general de- ficiency bills are not likely to consume much time but the Philippine bill which probably will be reached by Wednesday, is expected to require at least two days debate.
 The statehoods bill career is to be de- termined by a caucus of republican mem bers to be held probably Thursday even- ing. A special rule from the committee on rules limiting debate and providing for vote is expected as result of the caucus.

 Governor Hunt, who has charge of the Igorrotes. stated tonight that the Hu- mane society cannot interfere with the proposed feast, as the reservation is GOO yards outside of the city limits, which also precludes interference by the munic- ipal authorities. He further stated that the arrangements had been satisfactory to the officials of St. Louis county, with in the confines of which the dog feast will be held and the Igorrotes will have one grand feast on baked dog and sweet pota- toes.

Savage Makes Confession.

Among the savages captured by Captain Barron was one, Marvailla, who con- fessed to the killing of Rafael Torrez, nephew of General Torrez, who, while in the rear of q Mexican party, was set upon by band of Indians, captured, tor tured and finally killed.
 Maravailla before his death told of the terrible torture to which Torrez was sub jected Like Guavesi, Maravailla was taken out and shot Captain Barron losing no time in putting an end to the career of these leaders of the savages. The ex- petition led by Captain Barron has proved the most successful of those sent out against the Indians in the past few months. Barron has put out of the way two men who were the backbone of the Indian rebellion in the country north of Guayamas

Leader of Yaqus in Mexico
 Executed by Soldiers
HE MET DEATH BRAvELY
Was in Command of the Force Which Ambushed and Almost Annihi- lated Company of Troops
 Near Zamatori.

Hermosillo Mex, April 10.-Msnuel Guavesi, who has been for five years at the head of the Yaqui rebels in Sonora, and who in that time instisated many uprisings, first in one section and then in another, Is dead. Guavesi was discover ed among the prisoners taken by Captain Barron in an engagement with a band of savages near Batomote and was immed- lately taken out and shot as Captain Bar ron was not prepared to take any chances. His prisoners numbered almost as many men as those of his command.
 Guavesi met death bravely. He had ex- pected to be executed when his identity was discovered. Once he could have in- cited a rebellion of the importance that would require thousands of troops to con- tro and he only could rally his men after several defeats such as was admin istered by Governor Isabel.
 AnnihiIated Whole Company.
 It was said Guavesi was in command os the Yaqu force which ambushed and almost annihilated a whole company of the twentieth battalion near zamatori in the rebellion of two years ago. Both Cap tain Celso Gomez and Lieutenant Jose Vallejo were killed in the ambush and their death was avenged in the execu- tlon of Guaves Guavesi was in practical command of all the hostile Yaquis in Sonora and exercised a great influence over those Indians working on ranches, many of them laboring just long enough so that they could buy arms and am- munition to be used when they joined the uprising. Guavesi had a secret means of communication by which he reached the Yaquis everywhere in the state. His cap ture and execution will be the death of their cause,

AFTER COTTONWOOD
People of the Fourth Ward, Ask the
Aldermen to Pass an Ordinance
Declaring Trees Nuisance.
WOULD FOLLOW OTHER CITIES.

The cotton wood trees are in bloom,
and the fuzzy fuzz of the blossoms of
the trees is being scattered by the
wind. In some portions of the city
everything is covered with the fuzz
from the trees. The people of the
city have noticed this and the people
of the fourth ward are up in arms and
under the leadership of David Rahr,
they are making an effort to secure
aid from the City Council. They
want the cotton wood trees to be de-
c1ared nuisance, and the axe laid
to the root of every one of them.
There are less than a hundred cotton
wood trees in the city, but these are
working over time to fill the city with
the tiny petals of the blossoms and it
is impossible for anyone to get in the
neighborhood of the trees with out
having his or her clothes filled with
this fuzzy material.
The fight on the cotton wood trees
is not entirely a new fight, for it has
been waged in otheryears. However,
Ills lAAAO lAN pNOPAO ONAAAduu IAAdl ll1C
council take some action to declare
the trees a nuisance. Such action
would not be without precendent as
in many of the cities of the state or
dinances have been passed by which
the trees are declared nuisance and
by which their determination is or
dered. Many of the trees that are at
the base of this fight have stood in
Kenosha for years. They are beauti-
full trees and the owners have been
deaf to the demands of the people
who have been worried by the spring
blossoms. In Racine the cotton wood
tree is tabooed and it is said that in
several states of the Union the rails
ing of the trees is forbidden by state
law.
The outcome of the fight for the
eradication of the trees in Kenosha
will be watched with great deal Of
interest.

Humor aua Philosophy
BY DUNCAN M. SMITH
Copyright, 1904, by Duncan NJ. Smith.
CHANGES HER MIND.

With bullying brow and eyes aflame,
With purpose strong and high
She comes to make herself name
And write 1t on the sky,
To show what womankind can do.
And like as not, surprise few.
Just like lady in dream,
Arrayed IN purest white,
She reads her graduation theme
To our intense delight,
20 show 1t is her earnest plan
That woman is the peer of man.
She plans herself great career
And builds 1t In her mind,
Where she may make her message cleaI
And leave poor man behind
Then, eager for the coming fray,
She puts her pretty dress away
But hong before her schemes have birth
A man comes round to say
That she's the sweetest thing ON earth
SO in the same old way
She drops her chances for renown
And marTtes him and settles down

Rahle Of The .Returmer Who Was Eleetet

pahte Of The Refnrmer Who Was Elected.
An Earnest, laxative Gentleman
with High Forehead and a Sweet
Voice who was putting up a $1,000
Front on $1,000 Salary, seeing that
Corruption was Rife and that things
were Going TO the Dogs, generally con
Guided that it was his Duty to gfve a
Part of his Time to the Cause of Re
form.
The Way things were Running was
Simply Awful or Even Worse. When
he saw Large Gentleman with a Red
Neck drawing Salary for Looking
Pretty who did not Fit the Part, it
gave him Severe and Shooting Pain.
How the Taxpayers and. Voters could
Stand for Such Gang was more than
he could see through his Gold R1mmed
Glasses, and he said as Much When
Called ON to Speak.
Methods used by the Politicians to
Hold themselves In Power struck him
as being Worthy of the Sultan Of Tur-
key or Some Such Autocrat with
Flexible Conscience and d Desire for
Pelf
Just why men who should be Break
ing Rock for the state should be elect
ed to Office he could not Quite make
out, Particularly as there was a Line
of Patriots who had never Stolen Sheep

Voters at last that one Fine Morning
they Rose Up and Elected him to Of

Position a Suave Gentleman who was

Physicians OF the City Ask the District
Attorney to Investigate Alleged
Criminal Practices.
LOCAL PHYSICIANS ARE ACCUSED
Both Physicians and NTidwives. According
to Allegations. Are Violating the
State Laws With Immunity.

A bombshe11 was exploded in the
ranks of the medical and allied fra
ternities this morning when promi-
nent physicians of the city made a
call on District Attorney Buckmaster
and asked that official to take some
steps to put stop to criminal prac-
tees" among physicians and mid
wives in the city. The story told by
the physicians to the attorney were of
such nature that they are unfit for
the public press, but it is possible
that they will become matter of
court record in short time.
In demanding the aid of the attor-
ney for the county in stopping these
practices the physicians claimed that
there were many so-called doctors and
nidwives in the city who were con-
stant1y violating the laws of the state
ing so numerous that the law must be
enforced. Specific incidents were re-
cited to the attorney and it is claimed
that the doctors will make an effort to
get together the evidence needed for
the conviction of the parties.
Attorney Buckmaster was seen in
regard to the matter during the day
and he admitted that the physicians
had laid the matter before him. ssThis
is very delicate matter, y said Attor-
ney Buckmaster, "but l shall use
every possible means to secure evil
dence against this band of law break
ers and land them behind the bars. It
would not be wise for me to give to
the public press the things that have
been given me as evidence, but as
soon as these matters can be worked
up so that they will furnish case for
the courts the records will be open to
the public. Some of the stories that
have been told seem to be almost be-
You'd belief of the ordinary person,
and if these things are true the law
has been repeatedly violated.
The doctors claim that they have
been forced to make this complaint in
the interests of the women of the city
who are being made the dupes of I'M
scrupu1ous men and women working
under the veil of a doctors certificate.
It is claimed that the action of the
attorney in the matter will be second
ed by every reputable physician in
the city.

THE first sewer taxes were paid in
1894, and in April of that same year
the Balm subdivision, which was plat
ced in 1890, was taken into the city as
was the land south of Prairie avenue,
for the benefit Of the city and to have a
place for new factories wishing to
come to Kenosha. Factories would not
come unless they could have the
benefits of the city. Since that time
they have paid thousands of dollars
into the city treasury and helped pay
their full share of all the large sewers
put in and also helped pay for the
small ones; in fact they have helped
pay for every sewer put in in the city
for the past ten years. Now they are
not allowed to connect with the sewers
they have helped pay for, yet others
in other parts of the city are allowed
to go in. Is this right, gentlemen of
the city council?

CLASS LEGISLATION.

There are people in the west part OF
the city who for the past ten years
have paid taxes for sewers and are
willing to pay more special assess
ments for the frontage of their lots
for the privilege of having their prop
erty connected with these same sewers
their property has been taxed for the
past ten years to help pay for, yet
they are denied admission although
the sewers there and is large enough.
In other parts of the city the connec-
ton can be had for the asking. If this
is not class legislation what is it?
