Gentlemen:-For over four years suf-

tagious Blood Poison. I went to Hot

big expense, then consulted physi-

years. mentioned my case to a friend,
who told me that 8. 8. 8. had certainly

a Voice From Colorado.

Ex-Adiutant General s'Sherm" Bell of
Colorado has been relieving his mind re-
garding Gov. Peabody. Bell has style
of expression thgt is as fresh as any
wind that ever blew down to Denver
from the snow-capped mountains over
west of the town. And here is what he
thinks of Peabody:
Former Gov. James II. Peabody was
scared half to death most Of the time he
was in office Ihad to stand behind
him constantly to stiffen his backbone
during the labor troubles.
First he tried to compromise with the
Western Federation o. Miners and then
called out the militia Then when
Meyer was thrown into the bull pen
Peabody wired US imploring US to release
the miners leader Peabody simply col
lapsed when the federation applied to
the federal court
Elected by corporations, he tried to
double cross them, but Lieut.. Gov. Hag-
gott and myself were ready to decoy
him to Cripple Creek and thence out of
the state if the public interest demand
ed it. Recently when Peabody was
governor for day it took a team Of
horses to drag him out of his office. .

The Idea Spreads.

"Kenosha - District Attorney Rob
ert Vone Baker ordered the re moval OF
every slot machine in the city. News
Item.
The slot machine has seen it's day.
1t has been banished from many of the
larger cities-among which are Brook
lyn, New York, Chicago and San Fran
cisco. Many smaller ones are following
suit. Generally where they are toierat-
ed, it is because certain officers control
them or share in the ''rakeotfs. .
Sheriffs and district attorneys are fav-
orite partners of the slot machine men.
But the time has come when the
better, element of the public-weary of
the nuisance-has called a halt and the
slot machine must go. It is well that
it should go.
The legislature Of the state of Mime
sofa has fastened the departure of the
slot machine. The legislature Of Wis
consin could do nothing better in the
remaining days of the session than to
outlaw this species of gambling this
Legitimate institution for the robbery
Of homes Of their comforts meth

could we'll give heed to the effect of
the slot machine upon the morals of the
young and the welfare Of many fam
lies.

Its To Municipal Lighting.

1t seems that the question Of n1u-
nicipal lighting has invaded Milwaukee.
The free Press is its champion. tn e
administration favors it bye and bye.
The city engineer is the Rose spokes-
man. He has come out with pro-
position which the Free Press discusses
in the following:
~ do not think that the city can
manufacture light cheaper than sos
lamp, and what possible reason can there
be to invest over 100000 in a plant
which will give US no benefits.
"Ihave always advocated the building
of light plant, but when we can de-
rive the benefits without being com
PEELED to put our money into it and be
free from all liabilities and experiments
I am in favor of accepting such pro
position" City engineer Charles J.
Poetsch talking through the street car
organ.
This is the whole of the argument now
put forward by the opponents of the
municipal electric lighting plant. True,
Mr.. Shoemaker, Mr. Meyer, Mr.. Hoye
and other men close to the Rose admin
istration, have been interviewed. But
what matters what they said? It is
well understood that they hold positions
merely because of their ability to cuckoo
while Mr.. Poetsch, being a civil engi-
neer is supposed to understand the
problems which confront city in the
management of it's utilities.
81 do not think the city can manufac-
ture light cheaper than sos lamp"
says Mr.. Poetsch. Does Mr.. Poetsch
know that the city cannot do so? The
manner in which he put his think be-
fore the public is an admission that the
city can produce light at least as low
as the figure given by Mr.. Beggs.
Upon any business basis there is no rea-
son why the city could not produce light
at a less cost than Mr.. Begg's company.
The city will not have interest pay
ments to insect upon watered bonds.
It will not have to earn dividends upon
watered stock. It will not have to
make profit at all upon its street light

Paving il Back to China.

To whatever motive we shall attri-
butte the forgiying by the United States
of part of the Boxer indemnity, we
ought certainly to earn the gratitude Of
China. The unpaid portion Of the in
demnity she is finding it hard to pay it
all. The viceroys who seem to be de-
pended upon to raise money and send it
to Picking, do not seem to make a spec
ialty Of paying off the foreign devils"
who marched to Picking on what appears
to the Chinese perfectly impertinent
mission.
The attitude of the United States is
based not on a desire to placate China
we have no need to do that-but on
sense Of justice. The fact Of the matter
is that the powers that relieved the leg
ations atPelzing brought in unconscion-
able bills against the Chinese govern
ment and that the United States, for
one, is little ashamed Of the situation.

ing. These are a few of the things
which Mr.. Beggs proposes to meet
upon a SOS rate. Why cannot the
people be given the benefits Of plant
and not be taxed to pay these dividends.
If it is impossible for Mr.. Beggs to
meet these extra payments upon this
rate, will Mr.. Poetsch explain why it is
that the city cannot manufacture light
at still lower rate? It is presumed
that such plant would be under the
direction and management of the city
engineer and the department of public
works. The statement Of the city engi-
neer is either a confession of incom-
potency or it is not true. Which is it?''

Heightened Robbery.

Frank G. Bigelow has robbed the
First National bank of Milwaukee of
million and half of dollars. The story
is told in the following news item:
Frank G. Bigelow, president Of the
First National bank and last yearpresi-
dent OF the American Bankers associa-
ton, is defaulter to the bank to the
amount Of 81, 800, 900.
''Mr. Bigelow has transferred to the
bank all his available assets, real estate,
securities, ETC., to the amount of
about $500, 900, leaving the deficit about
1900, 600, or just about the amount of
the surplus and undivided profits Of the
bank, which at the time Of the last
statement was 81, 142, 323.
Mr.. Bigelow confessed the defalcation
Saturday night The directors took
charge of the bank Monday morning.
Mr.. Bigelow was deposed as president,
and the directors signed an agreement
loaning to the bank the sum of 81, $685.
coo, thus placing its solvency beyond
question, it is believed.
'In the first place the depositors are
secured by the capital stock 81, 500, 900,
which is not impaired by the defalca-
ton Then there is the additional indi-
Vidual liability of each stockholder to the
amount of his holdings, making the Sc
curity $4,000, 900, and still in addition to
this there is the agreement Of the di-
rectors to advances s., 635, 900, as it may
be needed for the payment of all de-
mands or deposits and to postpone their
claim for reimbursement to the claims
Of all depositors and other creditors
How the heightened robbers perform
ed this operation is told as follows:
How long Mr., Bigelow has been rob-
bing the bank is not yet certain. He
has said his populations only extend back
few months. Some Of the directors
doubt this and think the thefts must
have covered a much longer period. His
method as he explained it to the direc-
tors, was to take the cash, snd with the
assistance of certain employees, falsify
the statements of amounts on deposit
in Chicago and other banks. In other
words he employed bank employees to
carry out his misunderstanding With
out them he could not have deceived the
directors and other officers of the bank.
Every loan was passed upon by the dis
count committee Of the directors and
Mr.. Bigelow's personal loans for the
past two years have been carefully limit
ed. While there was never the slight
est suspicion as to Mr.. Biglow's in
tegrity, the directors thought he was
getting into National Electric too deep,
and limited his loans and arranged that
they must be reduced, but neither the
directors nor bank examiner ever dis
covered that bank funds were being
stolen.
Mr.. Bigelow was arrested and in
few moments was released on $25, 900
bonds Thus in these latter days do we
look easily upon heightened robbery
the wrecking Of banks from the inside
The 1naster-robber is released on a
bond that gave him no trouble to pro-
cure. He hasn't seen the inside of
cell. Even his arrest was of the
genteel order. According to the News
reports, the marshal sought the rob-

that Saturdays Waterloo for him
and his crowd was the result.
The defeat of VIII Walker, a
