BOND rs REDUCED

Court Commissioner in Racine Re-
duces McKune's Bond to $4,000
The preliminary hearing of Cornell
ins McKune, the former Kenosha
man, who is charged with attempting
to kill Dorothea Nelson of Racine,
was to have been held before Court
Commissioner Wentworth in Racine
Tuesday, but as Miss Nelson is still
in critical condition the court de-
cided to continue the hearing for
another week. The condition of Miss
Nelson was such as to warrant the
cutting down of McKune's bond, and
the commissioner placed it at $4,000.
McKune will make no effort to give
bond, and many of his friends believe
that he will plead guilty to the charge
against him.

Andrew Christensen is Myster.
ious!y Missing and Patrons
Seek Whereabouts
LAST SEEN ON SUNDAY NIGHT
Mrs. To1lif To1lifson Asks the Court
to Make an Effort to Locate the
Missing Contractor. Christian
sen Was Well known Here

Andrew Christensen, a we'll known
Kenosha contractor, has been missing
from the city since last Sunday after
noon, and all efforts to trace him have
SO far been without success. Yester-
day afternoon Mrs. To11if Tollifson,
who recently came to this city from
Chicago, and who had employed Chris
Hansen to build her new home on
Rowland avenue, went to Justice
Sturges and complained Of the disap-
pearance of the contractor, but no
warrants have been issued.
It was alleged by Mrs. To11ifson
that she had employed christensen
to build her a new home on'How1and
avenue. The house was to have cost
$1,000, and it as yet un comp1eted. Mrs.
To1lifson alleges that she had paid
Christensen the sum of ST., 900, and
after his departure she investigated
and discovered that many bills con-
nected with the construction Of the
house were unpaid. The woman had
received receipts from Christensen
but not from the lumber companies
add other sub-contract ors, and when
she went to these sub-contractors she
found that the bills had mot been
paid, and these men threaten to take
lien on the house.
Christensen was in Kenosha on
Sunday and was last seen. at his resi-
dence on Sunday afternoon. His wife
and one child are still in Kenosla.
Mrs. Tollifson alleged to the Justice
that Christensen on Saturday drove
his horse and wagon out into the coun-
try and sold it to farmer, receiving
small sum for it.
It is claimed that conditions similar
to those reported by Mrs. Tol1ifson
were connected with another house
being built by Christensen, but if
such is the fact no complaint has been
made to the justice.
Christensen has resided in Kenosha
for several years and has always
borne good reputation. For some
time he was employed at the Kenosha
Sash & Door company's plant and
later he was financially interested in
the business. His disappearance I'M
der such circumstances has caused
quite sensation among the contract
ors of the city. Mrs. Christensen
seems to be entirely ignorant of the
whereabouts of the contractor.
The matter is now in the hands OF
the police and the justice courts, and
they are hopeful of finding some
trace of Christensen within a few
DAYS.

The outcome of the peace con-
ference is in sense a great personal
triumph for President Roosevelt.
There is little doubt but that Presi-
dent Rooseve1t's resolve to do some
thing to bring about peace between
Russia and japan was taken against
the advice of his most trusted lieu
tenants and the happy outcome of the
peace conference which was due in a
great measure to his individual efforts
must be all the more gratifying to
him for that reason.

If there is no other way to put a
stop to the practice of selling liquor
to minors the council might try re-
voking the licenses of the guilty
saloonkeepers. If the council would
make rule that the second time a
saloonkeeper was caught selling to
minors his license would be revoked,
and enforce it once or twice no mat
ter who happened to be caught, ii
would soon stop the practice. Small
fines do not seem to have the desired
effect, and the trade Of the minors is
evidently profitable enough to stand

Chicago and Milwaukee Railway
Company Makes a Peaceful
Settlement With Farmers
PETITION is WITHDRAWN
No Statement of the Terms of the
Settlement is Made to the Court but
Commissioners Are not Appoint
ed by Judge Belden.

Attorney Peter Fisher representing
the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Railway company this morning With
drew the petition filed by the company
last week for the condemning of
property owned by Matthias Stahl Jr.
and John Balm Jr. both farmers in the
town of Pleasant Prairie. The case
was to have been taken up by Judge
Belden this morning and commission.
ers were to have been appointed. Nc
statement was made in regard to the
manner of settling the matter but it
was stated that the settlement effected
was entirely satisfactory to the
managers of the company and to the
defendants in the action and the com
pany will at once take deeds to the
land needed for the completion of
their right of way. With the fling of
these deeds the company will have
purchased all of the right ofway save
short strip through the property of
the late Edward Balm and it is stated
that this right of way has been Sc
cured and that the deeds will be re-
corded as soon as Frank S1osson re-
turns home. The company is taking
no risk of the farmers changing their
minds and the work of building the
road through this county is being
rushed with all possible speed.
At Zion City Saturday afternoon in
an address to the large number Of
guests that had gathered for the
opening of the Zion City line, Presi-
dent A. c. Frost of the Chicago and
Milwaukee road reiterated his state
ment made in Kenosha recently that
the Kenosha line would be in opera
ton by the first day of December and
the company is now planning to have
the work done before that time. It is
claimed that there are no big cuts be-
tween this city and Zion and it will be
necessary to use the steam shovel in
only one or two places. AS the com
pany will not build on the East side
of the North Western roadIitiwi11 not
be necessary for the officers Ito waste
time in reaching an agreement with
that company.
The Kenosha people who were the
guests Of the company on Saturday
are high in their praise of the new
line between Zion and Waukegan,
and claim that the company has built
a line that is the equal of any steam
line in this part of the country.
There was only one thing to mar
the opening of the line at Zion, and
that was the fact that Dowie's credi.
tors we're mean enough to poster him
while he was entertaining, and con.
stable swooped down on him and
served summons n two suits. Dowie
waived the fellow aside and went on
with the reception.
In his speech to the guests of Sat.
urday Dowie stated that the Chicago
& Milwaukee company had paid tc
Zion more than $101, 900 for its right
of way through Zion City.

theoretical market was away above
the actual market. During last week
it was impossible to buy spot cotton
anywhere in the south within half a
cent Of the future contract prices.
The bears Of Wall street have been
able to make artificial prices very
much to their own notion; but they
are unable to get at these prices cot

Cotton producers have the means to
control the situation and all they lack
is thorough organization. II they can
only get together under capable lead
ers, they will be able to fix at will
the price of cotton that will spin, and
when they have done this they will be
in a position to laugh at the efforts Of
Wall street to manipulate the prices
of the non- spinning variety.
In the absence Of thorough organi-
zation on the part Of the cotton pro-
ducers, non spinning cotton serves as
we'll as any for a basis Of prices, eth
er high or low: but in the pres
ence of such an organization, only
genuine spinning cotton will count.

NoGI AND SToESSEL.
Late Antagonists Lunch Together
Near Port Arthur.

Near Port Arthur.
Gen. Nogi. commander of the ia
panese forces that compelled the sur
render of Port Arthur, and General
Stoessel, who made such a gallant de-
fense of the city, met in a cottage
about a mile from Port Arthur last
Thursday in accordance with a previ-
ous appointment.
Gen. Stoessel went to the place
alone, and arrived ahead Of time.
Gen. Nogi came along later, in answer
to a telephone message. The two gen.
erals exchanged compliments. and
lunched together.
Gen. Nogi told Gen. Stoessel that
the emperor Of Japan had commanded
him to treat the Russians with con-
sideration and therefore, Gen. Stoessel
and the members Of his staff would
be allowed to retain their swords.
Gen.. Stoessel expressed himself as be-
ing very grateful for this considera-
ton which he said, saved him from
dishonor.
Through the courtesy Of Gen. Nogi,
Gen. Stoessel had been allowed to
communicate with the czar, and the
cars reply was to the effect that
all the Russian officers who desired
to do so would be allowed to give their
paroles to the Japanese not to serve
any more during the present war and
return to Russia Gen. Stoessel indi-
Gated his intention to take advantage
of the permission thus granted.
General Nogi had lost two sons In
the siege Of Port Arthur. Gen. Stoes-
sci expressed his sympathy. Gen. Mo-
gi said that he considered that his
sons had not died in vain-that the
end in view was worth the sacrifice.
General Stoessel desired Gen. Nogi
to accept his (Stoessel's) horse, which
Is a very fine one, as present. Nogi
however indicated that the horse be-
longs to the Japanese government and
it is not his to say what disposition
should be made Of the animal.
Both generals mutually praised each
other and their officers on account Of
their bravery during the siege. After
the lunch was over, the staffs Of the
two generals having arrived in the
meantime, photographs were taken Of
the entire group, and the party broke
up. Stoessel going back to Port Ar
thur and Nogi returning to his head
quarters.
The Japanese army took formal
possession Of Port Arthur on Sunday.
