North Side Residents Make a Loud
Wall on the Condition Of North
Chicago Street.
OBJECT TO THE TANNERY REFUSE
Frozen Sewer is Alleged to Cause the Re-
fuse From Big Plant to Flow Into
the Street-Health is Menaced

People residing on the North side
of the city have filed loud protest
with the police on account of the con-
dition of North Chicago street and it
is claimed that the condition Of the
street is such that it is little better
than sewer. It is filled with the
refuse from the watts at the Allen tan
merry and the people residing in the
eighborhood claim that the health
of their families is being menaced by
the stencil that arises from the de-
posits on the street.
The Allen company has been noti-
fed that some immediate steps must
be taken to abate the nuisance and if
these steps are not taken it is proba-
bic that residents on the street will
enjoin the managers of the tannery
from dumping the refuse on the
streets. The trouble is due to a
frozen sewer. Under normal condi-
tions this refuse from the big plant
would be carried into the river and
through the harbor into the lake, but
the freezing of the sewer has made it
impossible for it to carry the dirty
liquid away and it is now being
poured on the street. Pedestrians are
almost driven from the streets and
the stencil from the decaying refuse
is so strong that it is almost driving
the people from their homes. It is
claimed that the trouble could be
remedied by the digging Of a small
ditch to take the place of the sewer
but it seems that the tannery men are
| too busy with other matters to take
this precaution for the benefit of the
people in the neighborhood. Mana
gers of the company were notified
some time ago to abate the nuisance
| but the notice seems to have gone un-
| needed.
Quite little trouble is being ex-
perienced from frozen sewers and
catch basins in all parts of the city
but the trouble on Chicago street is
by far the most serious reported thus
far. It is feared that if there should
come a sudden thaw that it would be
impossible for the sewers to carry off
the water and many cellars would be
flooded. The street commissioners
state that nothing can be done to
thaw out the catch basins and spring
weather is the only thing that will
put the system in working order
again.

KNOT DIDN'T STAY TIED.
Chicago Couple who Eloped to KeDosha ARE
to be Divorced.

to be Divorced.
Another elopement of Chicago peo-
pie to Kenosha has ended in "a ,sensa-
ton and Harry Wilkinson, the editor
of the Chicago Banker has been made
the defendant in suit for ten thous-
and dollars by Attorney John r.
Scott, Of Pittsfe1d, Ill, who claims
that Wilkinson has a1ierated his wife S
affections. The marriage of Scott
and pretty Rosina Matthews occurred
in this city in 1897 and it was nine
days sensation.
In June, 1897, the day Scott was
graduated from the Chicago Law
school, he e1oped to Kenosha
with Miss Rosina Matthews, then a
high school girl. For three months
they lived in Chicago and kept their
marriage a secret. In August, Scott
pursuaded his wife to go to the, Sara
toga hotel and live with him. The
young couple then telegraphed the
girls parents that they had been mar
ried. The parents took the two home
and a second public wedding was
solemnized by Bishop Cheney.
Scott then started to seekssa law To-
cation. 1t is alleged that he only CON
tributed $58 to his wife's support all
the time he was away. Desertion and
nonsupport was alleged when she
filed suit for divorce two weeks ago.
Scott came to Chicago at once. For a
week he is said to have acted as though
crazed by his wife's act.
While Scott was at workoin his law
office in Pittsfeld Mrs. Scott went
into the office of Editor Wilkinson and
acted in the capacity of a stenograph-
err. Things went very smooth in the
office and here It was that Scott al
.1eges that Wilkinson fell in love with
his wife and started 1irtationswhich
resulted in her affections being fallen
ated. Letters that passed .sbetween
Scott and Wilkinson will Obe intro
duced in court in behalf of the plain
tiff in the action. Scott alleges that
he repeatedly asked his wife to come
and live with him but.that she refused
to give up her position in.. the office of
the editor. Mrs. Scott claims that
she was forced to support herself and
took this means of earning living.

GONE SINCE JULY.
Mrs Maggie BFannan Brings Action For
Divorce From Her Husband

Weary of waiting for the return OF
her husband, who had been missing
from Kenosha for more than six
months, Mrs. Maggie Brannan,
through her attorney James Cava-
nagh, filed suit in the Circuit court
this morning demanding an absolute
divorce.
Robert Brannan, the husband, who
is the defendant in the action, disap-
peared from Kenosha last July and
since that time no trace Of him has
been found. Every effort has been
made to locate the missing man but
since the evening he left Kenosha no
word has been heard from him. Mrs.
Brannan and her three children have
remained in Kenosha awaiting the re
turn of the husband and father. She
alleges the statutory complaint of de-
sertion.

ZION CITY IN A BAD WAY
Dowle Follower Says Business Has Fallen

DOwle Follower Says Business Has Fallen
OR-Looks for Many Desertions.
Martin Jensen, who has been living
at Zion city for more than a year, was
in the city last evening, en- route to
his home in Milwaukee. Jensen, a
true follower of Dowie, said things
were in a hard way at Zion City at
present. Since Dowie went away
business has fallen off and the factor
les are not in full operation.
Funds have fallen short and all fol-
lowers of the faith have been request
ed to curtai1 their living expenses and
if work cannot be secured in Zion to
go elsewhere, but to send every dollar
possible for the church. According to
Jensen many of the believers in Dowie
are fa1tering and he expects to hear
of hundreds of deserters within the
next few months.
Already great many have left and
are seeking employment in neighbor-
ing cities. When warm weather opens
regular exodus is expected, unless
Dowie returns and gives the move
ment a fresh impetus.

AFTER DEMOCRATS.
Tactics of Coming Campaign Indicated by
Letters Sent to LaFollette Men.

Letters Sent to LaFollette Men.
In sending out circulars to men pre-
sumed to favor the governor asking
the names of thirty fair minded demo-
Gratis living in their precinct, is evil
denced the unfair game of two years
ago is to be repeated. The following
| is the circular:
ssMy Dear Sir:
Il will esteem it great personal
favor if you will kindly write in the
blank spaces below the names of thir-
| ty fair minded Democrats, who would
be especially interested in good state
government, voters in your town, to-
gether with the postofice address and
occupation Of each, and mail list in
enclosed addressed envelope. Write
only voters in township.
'sYour prompt mailing of the list
will aid the republican cause, as docu-
ments and speeches supporting Re-
publican principles will be sent them
from time to time"
This is signed or stamped with the
name of Geo. E. Bryant and dated
January ~, 1904, at Madison. This is
mailed from the legislative committee
rooms at the capitol, which are said to
be in charge of the private secretary
of Judge Siebecker, a brother in law
of the governor, Thomas P. Nelson.
From these three rooms it is asserted,
mail matter is being sent out favoring
the state administration and by men
under pay from the state.
Republicans need no minded
Democrats to vote in their caucuses.
It only demonstrates the weakness of
the governor in thus repeating the
abominab1e work done two years ago.
Again, why should democrats be given
positions in the state service to the
exclusion of Republicans under cir
cunlstances that clearly mean these
Democrats shall give their influence
to the state administration.

ASKS AID FOR WALL.

Mayor Rose. of milwaukee. Asks Kenosha
Democrats to Attend Love Feast,
The Kenosha Democrats are getting
to be of some Importance in the coun-
ellis of the party in the State, and this
morning many of the o1d-time Demo
Gratis of the city, who have shown their
opposition to the Hearst movement in
the State, received letters of personal
nature from Mayor Rose of Milwaukee
asking them to attend love feast to
be held at the P1ankinton House in
that city on next Wednesday evening,
at which time the Wall boom for Presi-
dent will be formally launched
The Democrats have in many cases
responded to the letter and notified Mr..
Rose that they will be present either in
spirit or in person. The Wall candi-
dacy is steadily gaining in Kenosha,
and there now seems to be a chance for
the voters of this county to go to Wall
rather than to Hearst.

Rnising Hogs for PrOflt.

I The farm requires an organized we'll
thought-out plan Of work. The farmer
who lies awake nights to plan his
years work, so that he may have the
largest returns for his undertaking in
marketable products, gives the Same
kind Of effort as the inventor. Our
present complex and highly.organized
industrial and commercial system de-
mands intelligence of the highest or.
der, and the safety and perpetuity Of
this industrial and commercial system
depends not upon the intelligence Of
the few but upon the intelligence Of
the masses. Keeping in view that edu-
cation is necessary in all branches Of
business, more necessary in agriculture
than in many other callings, with the
modern appliances and conyeniences in
reach of all, farming can and should
be made the best occupation of man.
In this connection we mus consider
education not in the sense alone of
schools and colleges, but also in that
broadening and developing of the
mind which comes to one in mature
years.-Cor. Epitomist.

This is how the American cotton

The little brown ant Of Guatemala
was discovered in the most casual
manner. One day Mr.. o. f. Cook, bot
anist Of the department OF agriculture,
was sent to Central America to inves-
tigate and report upon the cultivation
Of the coffee and rubber plants. Sud-
denly he reached a cotton growing dis
trict in Guatemala, from which boil
weeyil was conspicuous by its absence.
Mr.. Cook had been tremendously inter-
ested in the boil weevil, the cause Of a
30 per cent decrease Of the cotton yield
in certain parts Of Texas and Of almost
equally heavy losses in other states.
Knowing that climatic and soil condi-
tions in Guatemala closely approached
that Of the devastated Texas counties,
he marveled that the boil weevil was
not in evidence With scientist, to
marvel first is to investigate immedi-
ately afterward. Mr.. Cook Investigated.
Looking for the boil weevil he discov-
cred the little brown ant which had ex-
terminated the boil weevil.
He found that this ant came from the
plateau region Of Guatemala, and that
it had invaded the cotton fields and
speedily made away with tho boil wee
vii pest. 1t subsisted on food contained
in three sets of extra floral hectares
growing along with the cotton, but the
cotton plan itself was not touched in a
harmful way. 1t seemed to have been
created for the special purpose Of kill

RAISING HOGS FOR PROFIT.

It is a fact that the greatest profit
in raising hogs for the market lies
in forcing their feeding from time Of
birth until ready to go into the mar
ket. One days careful attention and
good feeding will more than equal
two days poor feeding. Do not neg
lect them single day. A business
man can not neglect his store two
or three days in the week and expect
to profit as the man who gives it his
careful attention every day. Neither
can you neglect your hogs and make
the profit your neighbor does by care
full daily attention. If you raise hogs,
and give them only half care. you
will be disappointed by not receiving
satisfactory returns. They need care
full attention and the best of feed to
make you successful in rearing them
up. They must be warm in winter and
cool In summer, and you must always
be on your guard against disease. The
man who uses his brain is the man
who makes the money, and not the
