AN IDEA FROM AUSTRALIA.
Interesting Method of Budding Which
Is Worthy of Careful Trial in
Other Countries.

A simple and very successful method
of budding trees has been used by j. Bell,
fruit grower of New South Wales, with
splendid results. He says: Il have a
large peach tree in my yard measuring
% inches in circumference at the base
and 1872 inches feet from the ground.
1t is about ten years old. I made
some experiments upon it with new
method of budding. l sharpened piece
Of bone to point like lead pencil and
fixed it in a handle as shown at a. The
tool resembled carpenters awl. The
handle of an old tooth brush can be
used to good advantage in making this
point, as it can be mounted in the handle.

Is A PECULIAR SUIT.
F. |. Ellsworth Of Kenosha is
Asked to Pay Loss of a Chi
cago insurance Co.
NAMED AS AN UNDERWATER.

In the court of Justice Sturges this
morning summons was issued in the
suit of F. P. LAWN, doing business as
F. P. LAWN & Co., of Chicago against
F. L. Ellsworth, treasurer of the Chi
cago Brass company in this city. The
suit promises to come as surprise to
the people of the city.
LAWN is a Chicago merchant and
he brings suit against Mr.. Ellsworth
to collect for insurance which he held
in the North American Underwriters
Insurance company of Chicago.
The demand is fifty dollars being
one tenth of the amount claimed b.
LAWN for fire loss alleged to have
been sustained under policy issued
by the company.
The suit is brought against Mr..
Ellsworth on account of the fact that
he is one of the underwriters of the
company and it is claimed that the
suit is brought for the purpose of
bringing the company before the
courts for investigation. r $3.50
There is no blame connected with
the Kenosha man more than the fact
that he was associated with the other
underwriters of the company in the
business. The company is one of the
Lloyds in Chicago ard according to
the insurance reports the North
American Underwriters was organ
lied in 1902. The company has done
business in Chicago since that time
and Mr.. Ellsworth has taken no active
part in the management of the con-
Germ.
It is alleged that LAWN had a loss
of five hundred dollars on his stock
and that he made demand upon the
attorneys and managers of the com
pany for the payment of the loss un-
der the policy. 1t is alleged that the
company refused to make such pay
ment and LAWN has now Instructed his
attorneys to bring suits against the
ten underwriters of the company. It
is understood that the suit brought
against Mr.. Ellsworth in Kenosha is
the first Of the series of suits.
Few people in Kenosha knew that
Mr., Ellsworth was connected with the
! North American and the suit will
come as something of revelation. II
is understood that formal demand was
made on Ellsworth this morning for
the amount claimed and that he re-
fused to make any payment of it. The
St1it followed The summons in the
suit was served this afternoon.

Dream Of Pleasant Prairie Peo-
pie Of Big Paint Plant is
Shattered by Facts.
BETZER'S WORK is VALUABLE
Big Chicago Corporation Buys Pleasant
Prairie Mans Farm to get him to
Accept a Situation.
From Fridays Daily. :.

The dream of the people of Pleasant
Prairie to the effect that the National
Fire Proof Paint company of Chicago
was to build big plant in the town
of Pleasant Prairie was rude1y shat
tered this morning when the men who
had made the sale of ninety acres of
land to the company announced that
the company had no thought of build
ing a plant in this county and that
the land had been purchased wholly
for speculative purposes.
The fact that a man was a valuable
agent of the company was largely re-
sponsible for the purchase of the large
tract of land. That man was Sterling
E. Better and yesterday Mr.. Better
had an auction sale of all his personal
property and right after election he
will go to Chicago to become mem
Der of the big force of workmen for
the paint making concern.
Mr.. Better had been in the employ
of the Chicago company for some
time and several months ago the COM
pany made a proposition to Mr.. Better
to become a salesman for the COM
pany. Mr.. Better was forced to refuse
the position on account of the fact
that he had a large farm on his hands.
The managers of the company were
insistent in their offer of employment
and finally Secretary Johnson of the
company went to the Better farm and
offered to purchase the farm if Better
would accept the proffered position.
This closed the deal and in order to
secure the services of the one man
the company paid $4,000 for the farm.
They have already taken possession
of the property and Mr.. Better has
secured large block of stock in the
company besides cash consideration.
"Of course it is possible" said one
of the members of the company, "that
in future years the company may find
that the farm will come in very handy
for plant but at the present time we
have no intentions of removing the
plant from Chicago" The company
is one of the largest of the kind in the
world and it is claimed that the bust
ness of the company has been most
successful. A plant under the man
agement of the company would mean
a great boom to Pleasant Prairie and
the people there are still hoping that
the present plans of the company
may be changed.

PLAN NEW LEAGUE.
Manager Breen Asked to Unite
With WisconSin-IIIinois
Clubs Next Season.
OF INTEREST TO SPoRTSMEN

A move for the formation of a new
GAINESVILLE, and Manager Breen, of
the Kenosha team, has been asked to
give his influence towards it's sue
cessfu1 organization. The new league,
which had it's inception among the
business men of the city of GAINESVILLE,
is to be league including four Wis
consin and two Illinois cities. The
cities that have been selected for the
circuit include GAINESVILLE, Racine,
Kenosha and Be1oit in Wisconsin, and
Rockford and Freeport in Illinois.
Manager Breen has decided that it
would be impracticab1e for the Ke.
nosha team to accept a franchise
from the Wisconsin State league on
account of the fact that the distance
between Kenosha and the other cities
in the league is so great that the ven.
ture would not be successful one
from financial standpoint. The cit
les proposed for the new league are
sufficiently close together to make il
possible for the teams to play with
small expense.
The GAINESVILLE team is rated as one
of the strongest in the state, and in
fact it claims that it is worthy of the
state championship for the season
just closed. The GAINESVILLE team did
not meet the Kenosha team, but de-
feated the Racine team during the
season just closed.
A meeting will be called at James
vile next week to take up the matter
Of forming the league and the Keno.
sha team will send representative.

JAPs ATTRACT ATTENTION.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miyomori Here for Visit
Create a Favorable Opinion.

Mr.. and Mrs. Sueji Miyomori, a
dainty little Japanese couple who are
spending a few months in this coun-
try, attracted considerable attention
in Kenosha Thursday afternoon.
They came here from Racine for the
purpose of visiting with the friends
Of Madame Miyomori.
There is pretty story connected
with this charming little Japanese
woman which has made her the pet of
American society where ever she goes.
The little woman came to this country
three years ago and when she got on
the ship at one of the Japanese ports
she attracted the attention of Mrs.
George Gould, who took a great fancy
to her. When the little Japanese
woman reached this country she be-
came the protege of Mrs. Gould and
she was educated in the best colleges
in America. A short time ago she
met Miyomori, a Japanese divinity
student in one of the American col
.1eges, and the two were married.
Mrs. Miyomori is considered one of
the brightest Japanese women that
ever visited this country. It is more
than probable that the little woman
will arrange to give an entertain
ment in this city before returning to
the East. When she came to Kenosha
yesterday Mrs. Miyomori wore her ma
tive costume and her appearance on
the street attracted quite little at
tention from the pedestrians who
thronged Main street during the after
noon.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Miyomori are
planning to return to Japan within
the next few months and their visit
this state will probably be their last
visit in the West.

state superintendent at Madison an
application, asking that he be APP
pointed to the position of superinten-
dent of the schools of the county, re-
Gently made vacant by the resigna-
ton of George w. Taylor.
The petition for the appointment of
Mr.. Barnes has been signed by many
people in the county and city and it is
possible that the aged teacher will re-
ceive the appointment.
Mr.. Barnes has all the qua1ifica-
tions demanded for the office and is
one Of the few men in the county who
could accept the appointment. Mr..
Barnes has been a familiar figure
with the people connected with the
schools of this county and the sur
rounding territory. Mr.. Barnes is a
man of splendid education and during
the early years of the history of the
county he was pioneer teacher. He
has served the county in the position
of county superintendent for several
terms and under his direction the
schools were carefully managed.
For many years Mr.. Barnes has
lived a retired life and has given up
most of his time to writing for the
Chicago newspapers.

Many Burg1aries Along Lake Shore
Suggests That Gang is Busy Again.

The many burg1aries that have oc-
Cured in Kenosha, Racine and Wau-
kegan during the past two or three
weeks seems to indicate to the officers
that the old gang of lake shore burg
lars have started work again. Sever
al years ago this bunch of burglars
terrorized, the towns for several
months and during that time ali sorts
Of robberies were reported. At the
time it was claimed that the men had
fence in Waukegan through which
they managed to dispose of the stolen
property. The officers of the three
cities are getting together and it is
possible that the gang may yet be
landed.
