If woman finds her energies are
tagging, and that everything tires her,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
her sleep is disturbed by horrible
dreams; if she has backache, head

should take means to build her system
up at once by a tonic with specific
powers, such as Lydia e. Pinkham's

This great remedy for women has

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence of a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated

men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head! A sickly, half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she is
the mother of a family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and a
drag upon her husband.
The cost of a wife's con-
slant illness is a serious
drain upon the funds of a

HALF HOUR SERVICE
Cars Between Racine and Keno
sha Every Half Hour in
the Near Future
NOW PLAN OTHER CHANGES

Because Of the great amount of
travel on the interurban line between
Racine and Kenosha, John I. Beggs,
president and general manager of the
company owning and operating the
system, today state that within
short time cars between the two cities
would De operated every half hour in
stead of hourly as is now the schedule.
This change is of the utmost i'm
portance to patrons of the line who
are now compelled to wait an hour
for car between the two cities. The
interurban cars now leave Racine half
after the hour, reaching the Kenosha
north limits on the hour, and there
remaining for three-quarters of an
hour when the run on the round trip
is resumed. Va1uab bic time is thus
lost by the company, and it's patrons
are compelled to wait at the Kenosha
end and along the line for three-quar-
tiers of an hour or more before car
arrives to carry them to businessi en-
gagements.
- 40 AA0NA5IOOA AAAoI a. 0OOLA q &tAAO
company is granted the franchise to
run it's cars on Seventeenth and Mead
streets IN Racine and tracks are laid,
the half hour system will be installed.
Mr.. Beggs also stated today that men
would soon be put to work tearing up
the present tracks on Main, Sixth and
East State streets and heavy rails
would replace them. This improve
ment is of the utmost necessity as
the tracks now are in a deplorab1e
condition.
The Milwaukee company desires to
straighten its line between this city
and Milwaukee, but because of diff
fcnlties with town officers of Oak
Creek it is impossible. The company
intends building new tracks from Car
rol1ville to Racine, entering that city
either on the present line, connecting
at point near the subway, or build
ing through to the north limits. AS
soon as the difficulties are overcome
work on the new line will begin.

GETS HER FORTUNE
Laura Biggar Former Wife of. W.
Mcconnell Settles With Estate
of H. M. Bennett
MAY REMARRY MCCONNELL

| Laura Biggar, the former wife of
John w. Mcconnell, formerly Keno
/ sha actor has. finally secured a settle
ment with the trustees of the estate
of Henry NJ. Bennett, the Pittsburg
millionaire and by the settlement she
will receive about one half a million
dollars. The fight for the estate has
| been on since the summer of 1902.
Miss Biggar was never in Kenosha,
| but the people of this city had taken
| a great interest in the case on account
of the correction Of the woman and
the former Kenosha actor, and it
has been limited that the settlement
| of the estate will be followed in the
very near future with the re-marriage
Of Mcconnell and his former wife.
Mcconnell, who is at the present
time member of the William Owen
company has been spending the sum-
mer IN Waukegan, but he left several
days ago for the East and it is
thought that he is now with his
former wife and that he assisted her
In arranging the final terms of the
settlement with the trustees of the
Bennett estate.
Mcconnell has played an important
part in the settlement of the estate
and has from the first been the ad-
visor of his, former wife in her fight
for the vast Bennett fortune.
When Henry M. Bennett died in
1902 he left in his will a bequest of 90
percent of all property to Miss Biggar
but the latter contested the will
claiming that she was the widow of
Bennett and that she had borne
child by him and that for this reason
she should receive the entire estate.
The matter was the cause of 1itiga ton
which has lasted more than years
during which time the actress was
once tried on criminal charges of
conspiracy. She was acquitted of
the charge.
Shortly after the death of Bennett
reconciliation between Mcconnell
and his former wife was brought
about by their only son and it was re.
ported at that time that the couple
had remarked. Mcconnell admitted
that the relations between himself
and his former wife were most cordial
but declared that they had not re-
married. The developments in the
case will be closely watched by Ke-
nosha people who have taken great
interest in the career of Mcconnell.

Mrs. E. |. Francis, of Decatur,
Seeks to Find Her EIoping
Daughter in Kenosha
CANE TO KENOSHA TO MARRY
Bride Left Note Behind Stating That
the Couple Were to be Married in
Kenosha on Tuesday, but no
Trace of Elopers Found

Mrs. E. L. Francis, said to be we'll
known woman Of Decatur, ILL.,, was in
Kenosha today seeking to find some
trace of her daughter, Ellen Marie
Francis, and Frank Kerwiu Buswel1,
an attorney residing at Elgin, who
are alleged to have e1oped to this city
on Tuesday. Mrs. Francis has so far
failed to find any trace of the missing
pair, and the records of the county
clerk and the county Judge show that
they secured neither license nor an
order to marry in this county. Both
the brideiand groom have relatives in
Kenosha and it is thought that they
are visiting Cat the homes of one
Of these relatives pending the issu-
ance of a license for their marriage ii
this or some other county of Wiscon-
sin.
The Francis family is said to be
we'll known atDecatur, and the young
woman, who graduated from high
school last summer, is said to have
met Boswell insChicago less than six
weeks ago. Two weeks ago she told
her mother that she was in love with
the Elgin man and that she intended
to marry him, but the mother had
urged her to wait until she was older
and until she knew more about young
Boswell. The attorney had called at
the house several times, and when he
was IN Decatur on Sunday evening he
had asked Mrs. Francis for the hand
of her daughter. Mrs. Francis told
Boswell that she would think the mat
ter over, and that it would be soon
enough for them to be. married in the
fall.
On Monday Mrs. Francis was called
to Chicago by a telegram announcing
the death Of a sister, and when she
reached the city she found the sister
alive and we'll. She suspected trick
on the partiof her daughter and Bus
well, and when she returned to her
home late Monday night she found the
daughter missing. Pinned on a cush-
ion on the girls dresser was note to
the mother. Crank and I have gone
to Kenosha, Wis, to get married,
the note read, aud it was signed by
both the daughter and her intended
husband.
Mrs. Frances took the first train for
this city and reached here Tuesday
morning, hoping to intercept the pair.
She, however, discovered that they
had not been at the homes of their
relatives here, and It is possible that
they have gone to some other city.
Mrs. Frances stated that she would
be willing to extend the parental
blessing if she could locate her
daughter, but it is evident that the
daughter and her husband feared
trouble, and that the note stating that
they would be married at Kenosha
was a decoy to keep the mother off
their track.
Mrs. Frances will remain in Keno
sha today, and if she finds no trace of
the clippers she will return to her
home in Decatur and await their
home coming.

The American Mining Congress
with headquarters at Denver, Colo,
has taken up the matter of protecting
the investing public from the wi1es
of the shark with the fraudulent min
ing stock. Through a board of in
quiry composed of the foremost men
in the mining industry whose integrity
is unquestioned, the mining congress
proposes to furnish accurate informa-
ton to prospective investors in regard
to any mining company whose stock
is put on the open market. If the
present plans of the congress are
honestly and energetically carried
out mining stocks will in time become
as legitimate investments as any
of the 'industria1s' now on the
market, and horde of sharks that
for years have successfully bled the
eastern investing public will be forced
to seek some other field of endeavor.
This will surely be the case if the
Congress ever becomes powerful
enough to make its influence felt in
legislation to the extent of securing
laws making the sale of fraudulent
mining stocks hazardous occupation
instead of the safe and easy graft it
Is at present.

UNDOUBTEDLY public sentiment IN
Kenosha is generally opposed to a
bond issue for any purpose whatever.
For years the city was absolutely bur-
led under bond issue, and the MEM
DRY of the old burden is enough to
make all the old time property owners
reluctant to ever vote for another, no
matter how necessary the issue APP
pears to be. Notwithstanding this
very natural reluctance to vote bonds,
which is the result of unfortunate ex-
periences in the past, there is very
general feeling that some way must
be found to spread the payments for
the new school buildings over a period
Of years, and that the only way this
can be done is by bond issue. The
school board is building for the fu-
ture, and it is only right that future
generations, which will reap their
share of the benefits, should bear their
share of the burdens. A bond issue
for school buildings is certainly 1e-
gitimate, and we are inclined to think
that if such bond issue was proposed
to the voters at the present time that
they would approve the plan.

Charles |. Mallory, Rector Of
! St. Matthews Church, is
Married in the East
WEDDING is A SURPRISE
Well Known Rector Had Made No An
nouncement of His Intended Mar
rage to His Bride, Mrs. Kath-
crime F. Dustan, Of Maine

Quite stir was caused in church
circles in Kenosha today by te1e-
gram from North Adams, Mass. an
nouncing the marriage there on
Monday of the Rev. Charles L. NAL
1ory, Rector of st. Matthew's church
and Dean OF the Milwaukee Diocese,
and Mrs. Katherine r. Dustan, of
Kennebunkport, Me. The ceremony
took place at st. Johns church in
North Adams, the ceremony being
performed by the Rector Of the
church. After the ceremony a we'd
ding breakfast for the bride and
groom was served at the Rectory,
after which Mr.. Mallory and his bride
left for the coast of Maine where they
have taken summer cottage.
The announcement of the marriage
came as complete surprise to the
friends of Mr.. Mallory in Kenosha, sas
none of the members Of the parish
had been advised of his plans. At
the rectory nothing can be learned,
as Mr.. Mallory closed the rectory sew
eral days ago when he started away
on his annual vacation.
Mrs. Dnstan is not known in Keno
sha, but among the close friendssof
Mr.. Mallory it has been an open sec
ret that he had interests at Kenne-
bnnkport that were not wholly of a
business nature.
Last summer he made visit to the
Eastern city and when the time came
for his vacation this year he decided
to go East again. However, none Of
his friends suspected that he had ar
ranged for wedding during his
visit.
The marriage of Mr.. Mallory will
be of greatest interest in all parts of
the Milwaukee diocese, as he is re-
garded as one of the leading ministers
of the diocese. For a number of
years he has held the Office Of Dean
of the Milwaukee convocation and it
is known that he WAS a very close
friend of Bishop Nicholson. At the
election of coadjutor bishop a few
months ago Mr.. Mallory was one of
the leading candidates for the honor
and had the support Of the Kenosha
parish.
It is expected that Mr.. Mallory and
his bride will spend several months
at the cottage along the Maine coast
before coming to Kenosha to make
their home and no announcement is
made as to the date of his home com
ing. The rector has for some time
taken a months vacation during the
summer and it is thought that he will
follow this custom this year. Mrs.
Mallory is assured hearty welcome
to Kenosha.
This morning the members Of the
vestry of St. Matthew's church re-
ceived marked copies of Q North
Adams paper containing short ac-
count of the marriage of Mr.. Mallory
and Mrs. Dustan. 1t is thought that
these papers were sent out by the
minister.

JOHNSON Is READY
Senator Otis W. johnson, of Ra-
cine, Announces That He Will
be q Candidate Again
PETITIONS BEING CIRCULATED

The District Senatorial campaign
was cleared to some extent Tuesday
night, when Otis w. Johnson, the
present representative of the district
in the state senate, made formal an
nouncement that he would be cam
didate for, denomination at the COM
| ing primaries. Within a few hours
after the announcement had been
made thesfriends of Senator Johnson
were out with petitions for his nom
ination, and the petitions were largely
signed in. RAJ cine Tuesday night. Pc
| titions will at once be sent to this
county, and it is expected that Keno
sha county will give Mr.. Johnson a
great deal Of support.
In coming out for the denomination
Senator Johnson will stand on his
record. The senator has not urged
himself as candidate for reelection,
but has withheld his name from the
canvass until such time as he could
hear from different parts of the dis
trict as to the desire of the voters.
These reports were evidently favor
able to his candidacy. Mr.. Johnson
stated several days ago that he would
not be candidate for reelection un-
less the voters of the district wanted
him to make the run, and for that
reason he was slow to force himself
into the race.
The announcement that Mr.. John
son is candidate will probably re-
suit in thegdecks being cleared for
action andgit is not thought that any
other candidates will enter the field.
AS the understands now the primary
must be between Senator Johnson, of
Racine county. and Isaac T. Bishop
and Otis L. Trenary, oil his county.
Bishop was the first man in the field
and he has been working hard for
support in both counties. Prof. Ire
nary also has large following. If
Johnson can hold the vote in his own
county he will stand the best chance
of nomination as the Racine county
voters have strength enough to dictate
| the nomination. Under the old caucus
regime it was understood that so long
as the congressman came from RAJ
cine county the selection of state
senator should be left to this county
but il is not thought that this rule
will apply under the workings of the
primary election law.
It is expected that Senator Johnson
will make speaking campaign of the
entire district between now and the
primary election.

MILLS CAN EXPLAIN
State Oil Inspector Declares There is
no Foundation for Political Scandal

state I'll Inspector declares IheTe is
no Foundation for Political Scandal
E. E. Mills, of Burlington, the state
oil inspector who was accused of
campaign irregularities by John L..
Sieb, formerly oil inspector of Racine
county, has communicated with
political friends in this county and
has assured them that there is no
foundation for any scandal in connec-
ton with his dealings with the ousted
Racine official. He states that he is
perfectly willing to go before the
governor or anyone that the governor
may appoint and give full exp1ana-
ton OF the transaction. The people
of the two counties are not Judging
Mr.. Mills without hearing but the
transaction is certainly one that is
worthy of an explanation. AS yet
the governor hasn't set time for the
hearing of the charges but he has
promised to make the fullest investi-
cation. Mills is we'll known among
politicians in Kenosha and these men
are anxiously awaiting his vindica-
ton.

HOBOS ARE NUMEROUS
Band of Hobos Make Life Miserable
for West Side Residents

Kenosha is again beset by band
of wandering Migrants, who are max
ing life miserable for people residing
in the Western part of the city. These
men are going from house to house
begging and insulting women and
children who refuse to give them
food. Last night a party of three of
the gang got so bothersome that a
call was sent to the police office and
three men were sent out with a wagon
to arrest them. The men were taken
after hard fight and all of them
dumped into the wagon and taken to
the county jail. This morning they
were shown the limits of the city and
each received kick which should aid
in keeping them outside the city
limits.
It is claimed that more than a
hundred of the hobos are now in
camp about the city.

MAKE THE LAME WALK
Mayor German and Chief of Police
O'Hare Perform a Miracle


Mayor James German and Chief of
Police O'Hale are in line as hea1ers
and it can be said TO their credit that
they made lame man walk, ard walk
lively, Tuesday afternoon.
The man was selling pencils about
the city and to all appearances he
was terribly crippled. In some way
the mayor got on to the fact that the
fellow was taking and he was hustled
up the police Office crutch and all.
The fellow was an expert, but when
the mayor and chief got at MIN he
protested that he was a bonafide
cripple. However, after a short ex-
animation the mayor and chief forced
the fellow to throw away the crutch,
and before he left the police Office he
was put through series of gym
nastics which it IS safe to say left an
impression on him. The fellow rushed
from from the police Office when he
was released and it is safe that he will
not be seen ia Kenosha again.

THE government used the bid of the
Midva1e company to cut down the bid
of the steel trust SIS ton on armor
plate for battleships, and then split
the contract on the ground that it was
against public policy to force any
armor making plants out of business.
This is all right for the steel trust,
which can probably make armor plate
as cheap1y as anybody, if it has to,
but where does the lowest bidder
come in on the game? After the
treatment accorded them by the gov
eminent officials, the Midvale COM
pany would almost be justified in en-
tering into a ''gentlemen's agree
ment" with the trust on the division
of orders and the price of plate be-
fore any further bids are submitted
