THE farmers are complaining bit
terly of the depredations of the
hunters" and day of reckoning is
not far distant for some of these gen
try if the farmers are to be believed.
1t is no wonder the farmers are fight
ing mad, either. These alleged
sportsmen who wander through the
fields, shooting at everything that
moves, even going so far as to take a
shot at the farmers dog or cat if
they get the chance, are an unmiti-
gated nuisance and ought to be sup
pressed. They do more damage to
the farmers in a day than all the
game, barring the duck, shot in. the
county in a season is worth.

SEEK RIGHT OF WAY
Agents Of Chicago Automatic
Telephone Company Make
a Visit To KenoSha.
WOULD CONNECT WITH LOCAL

Agents of the Chicago Automatic
Telephone company were in Kenosha
today seeking to find some right of
way for the connecting of the local
lines of the Citizens company and
the Chicago lines. The agents of the
company visited the country about
Kenosha, but as yet nothing has been
done to insure the building of the line.
The Chicago company has a large
business in Chicago, and it is claimed
that it has more than seven thousand
subscribers in Chicago alone, while
the number in the suburbs of the city
would probably be double this num-
Der. Manager Pring1e of the Keno
sha line stated today that it was the
ultimate plan of the local company to
secure connection with the big Chi
cago Independent company, but that
he failed to see how the connection is
to be made at that time. The indie
pendent lines are now concentrating
their efforts to secure connection with
st. Paul and Minneapolis by way of
Milwaukee, and it is expected that
such connection will be secured
during the coming year. The work
of building line from Chicago to the
north has been carried as far as
Evanston, and it is thought that it
will be completed to Waukegan by the
close of 1905. The Chicago Company
is also extending it's lines to the cities
about Chicago in Indiana, and it is
claimed that the plans of the company
if 'carried out will make it a form
liable rival of the great Bell system.

Simpler Bills of Fare.

The English have long been known
as nation that eXcelled at almost
everything and in nothing more than
eating. If any question of state were
to be settled dinner would be ar
ranged, and after absorbing a sufficient
amount Of roast beef and other appe-
tizing and substantial viands a solution
would be reached. If a wedding were
to be solemnized the dinner table was
again resorted to as the proper method
Of celebrating the event. No social
function was complete without an eat
Ing programme, no guest could be prop
erly honored unless he were stuffed
full Of tae good things of life, and even
religious holidays were made more i'm
pressive by elaborate feeds. In fact,
about every sort of ceremony known to
man, with the possible exception of a
funeral, was made the occasion for
feast. 1t may be remarked In passing
that the Americans are not far behind
their British cousins in this regard.
But now, if we may believe Lon
don exchange, all this is passing. 1t
says:
The menu of the British dinner is grow
ing more simple There has been noticed
among the patrons Of west end restau-
rants an inclination to spend less time
and also less money on the dinners that
form their prelude to an evening at the
theater. They seem to prefer few
courses quickly served. Last spring they
wanted to go straight to the play with
out lingering over the wearisome success
sion of courses that characterized the
dinner Of last fall. Economy is hardly
the reason for this, 1t Is rather q revolt
from ostentation The restaurant pro-
prietors have quickly perceived the chang
ing tendency. The aggreSsively smart
restaurant Is being left to the agrees
sively smart people, and the calculating
proprietor seeks to cater for quiet, good
class patrons.
This is a hopeful sign. Eating is a
good thing and, according to most NOR
tails, even a necessity, but it may be
overdone. Recently we remember to
have read Of a pie devouring contest at
Evanston, ILL.,, where one ambitious
young man took the championship belt
by absorbing five full grown pies, while
his opponent only got away with four
and a half. The fact that both of
them lived cannot be charged to any
fault of their own, but rather to pure
luck. Ambition is all very well, but it
is hardly worth while for man to
stuff himself with an overproduction
of pastry with the idea that he is go
ing to break into the temple of fame,
for even at his best the animal that
made Chicago famous has him beat
mile as a food reservoir.
The movement across the water to-
ward simpler menus is to be commend
ed. 1t still is true that man lives not
by bread alone, or even bread and meat.
The champion eater no longer chal-
lenges admiration.

A Substitute For Cotton.

There have been various reports in
the past few months of the discovery
Of a substitute for cotton from the
fiber of a grass of the nettle species
called ramie. The United States consul
at Liverpool, England, reports that the
manufacture of this vegetable fiber is
now well understood, and the initial
and original difficulty of degumming
has long since been overcome 1t is
said to be Of the most perfect and
beautiful character and can be pro-
duced in unlimited quantities at about
8 cents per pound, considerably less
than the price Of raw cotton. It's pur-
1ty and intensity Of silky whiteness,
its softness and tenacity, exceed any
thing that can be obtained, he says,
from the best American or Egyptian
cotton. The grass is manufactured
into cloth, dress goods, ropes for lift
ing or driving purposes and other ar
ticles. The material is capable Of be-
ing made up into the finest plush fab
RIGS on account Of the length and tenac-
ity of it's staple
1t remains to be seen whether this
glowing account will be verified by
later actual tests. If it is, new era
may be marked in the manufacture Of
cloth goods.

YON YONsoN NEXT SUNDAY.

The original, the most typical and
the most successful of all Swedish
American dialect plays is lyon Yon-
son" which comes to the Rhode Opera
House next Sunday evening. 1t is a
comedy-drama which possesses plot
of unusual dramatic value, and as
well, during the presentation of the
play, number of delightful singing
and dancing features are introduced.
Yon Yonson" was written by the
late Gus Heege, who was also the first
actor in the clever character part.
This season the role is interpreted by
Mr.. Charles A. Boyd who was espe-
cia11y brought over from Sweden by
Manager P. ]. Kennedy. An entirely
new scenic outfit has been provided
for this season and one of the best
companies engaged which has ever
come out of New York in a chara cter
play. It includes, among others, such
well known artists as Violet Holmes,
Hazel Harroun, Elizabeth B. Chester,
Harry Bond, James G. Mack and e.
