 The reason for this was when the train was stopped his car was at the west end of the station and in a place which could only be reached by foot bridge. In consequence scarcely a hundred people got to the rear plat form and heard Mir. Bryan speak. He said:
 Ladies and gentlemen: have only a moment in which to greet you and that is not time enough to enter upon a discussion of any subject. I'll come again." and the train moved on with Mir. Bryan smiling and lowing.

FARMERS PROTEST
Farmers Of Kenosha Co. and Lake
Co., ILL.,, Object to Dam Pro-
posed to Stop Fox River
TO RUIN VAL LIABLE HAY LANDS

Farmers owning hay lands upon the
banks of the lakes likely to be affect
ed by the building of the proposed
dam across the mouth of Pistak ee
lake where it empties into the Fox
river in northwestern Lake county,
are waxing wroth over the proposed
movement to raise the levels. They
point out that if Fox, Pistakee and
the other lakes which would be affect
ed by the building of dam are raised
in level the proposed several feet that
thousands of acres of wild hay lands
will be inundated and that the losses
to the owners will be heavy.
The movement to build the dam
was begun several years ago by Chi
cago parties who own summer resi-
dences on the lakes and who would
be benefited by the raising of the
waters. Many prominent politicians
have homes in this region which they
occupy a part Of the year and they
are anxious to do all in their power to
make the lakes better places for their
summer sports.
The farmers on the other hand do
not see that side of the situation and
are looking to the pecuniary gain from
the meadow lands going to support
their families, and do not take kindly
to the plan on the part of outsiders to
change their hay fields into lily
ponds. The matter has caused no
end of discussion in the locality which
it concerns and if the city people seek
to force the building Of a dam they
will meet with determined opposition.
Undoubtedly, however, nothing will
ever be done in the matter as the eff
forts in the past to interest the gov
eminent in the building of the dam
have failed and even though a permit
for it's construction could be secured
it is entirely out of the question to.
think that private capital would put
it through. The matter will be
brought before congress at this

$500 FOR HOSPITAL
George YuIe Makes Another Large
Contribution to Funds Of the
kenosha Hospital
TO BE USED FOR EXPENSES

George Yu1e, president of the Balm
Wagon Company, will leave tomorrow
for California to spend the remainder
of the winter at Los Angeles, but he
remembered the Kenosha Hospital
before starting for his winter home,
and on Saturday afternoon the secre-
tary of the Hospital association re-
ceived check for $500 from Mr.. Yu1e.
This check is getting to be an annual
contribution, as last year Mr.. Yule
gave similar amount. Mr.. Yu1e's
gifts to the hospital now amount to
So, coo, as he gave the institution
81, 600 when it was opened
There is no string attached to the
gift of Mr.. Yu1e and it will be placed
in the general funds of the hospital to
be used in paying the expenses of the
institution. The gift comes at a de-
cided1y opportune time as the associa-
ton is having some heavy expenses
at this time and money is badly
needed. At the time the hospital
was opened it was hoped that after a
year OF two the institution would be-
come self sustaining, but the reports
of the officers show that this is almost
an impossibility. AT the outset of the
work IN Kenosha the directors of the
hospital counted on a monthly deficit
of about $125, and it will be 4 :cessary
to secure annual gifts of this amount
to keep the hospital in good running
order.
While the hospital is in no way
charitable institution, many patients
are received for whom no charge is
made. If the patient is not able to
pay for his care and treatment he is
not denied entrance to the hospital.
In the past year the hospital has had
many charity patients. The work of
the hospital is steadily increasing,
but it is rare occurrence when the
receipts are as great as the expendi-
lures.
However, these deficits are growing
smaller instead of larger. The report
for the past two months shows that in
November the deficit was but $50.
while in December the hospital was
self sustaining and the directors were
able to figure a profit of Sc. These
profits, however, are few and far be-
tween, and for few years at least
the hospital must be supported by
generous gifts of the people of the
city. With few men like Mr.. Yule
this will become very easy matter.

MORE WAITS COMING
Sisters of st. Mary to Care for Milwau-
kee Homeless Children

kee Homeless Children
Kenosha, Chicago and Milwaukee
waits will n7ingle in common play
ground south of Kenosha during the
coming summer, if the plans of the
Sisters of St. Mary and the ssFresh
Air Ten in Milwaukee are carried
out. About the first of next June the
lOO children from the St. Mary's Home
IN Chicago will be brought to Keno
sha, and at the same time it is planned
to have new cottage ready for the
reception of.parties of homeless chill
dren from Milwaukee. For the last
two summers the Milwaukee children
have been coming to Kemper Hall, in
parties of ten, for outings of two and
three weeks, and since the Sisters of
ST. Mary have secured the Beyers-
dorfer tract south of the city, it is
their plan to allow the Milwaukee
children to have home of their own.
To this end the Sisters have notified
Mrs. Abbott Thorndyke, who is at the
head Of the Milwaukee charity, that a
site for cottage will be given by the
Sisters if the Milwaukee society can
raise the small sum of 81, 900 needed
for the building of the cottage The
site will be somewhere near the site
for the new summer home for the
Chicago children, and all of the FIVE
acres of ground not used for the
buildings will be turned into a COM
mon play ground for the use of the
waits of the two cities. Mrs. Thorn
dyke has gone south to spend the
winter, but the work of raising the
money for the building of the cottage
has been taken up by the Milwaukee
papers and there is little doubt but
that the offer of the Sisters will be
accepted.
The building of the new home in
Kenosha will not be an addition to
the demands on 'Kenosha charitable
people, as all the money for the care
of the Milwaukee children will be
raised in their home town. and when
the children come next summer they
will be the guests rather than the
wards of the city.
The Fresh Air mission in Mi1wau-
kee has been at work for several
years. The mission formerly had
home near Kilbourne City, but this
home was closed some two years ago,
and since that time the little visits to
Kenosha were the only outings of
fered for the children.

Former kenosha Criminal and the
King of Horse Thieves Gets
Heavy Sentence Monday
PLEADS GUILTY in COURT
All the Fight is out of Him and He
welcomes Long Prison Term as an
END to His Wanderings-Goes to
Joliet Prison at Once

george Downs, the former gentle
man horsethief'' and all around crook
IS at the end of his string at last, and
will probably spend the remainder of
his life in the Illinois state prison at
Jol1et. Monday afternoon at Rock
ford, ILL.,, he pleaded guilty to horse
stealing and was sentenced to spend
an lndeterminate period of from one
to twenty years in states prison.
Downs was formerly in Kenosha
| and the time was when he had a good
reputation as dealer in horses. At
that time he was polished gentleman
and his appearance with spanking
team in Kenosha was a common sight
ten years ago. Downs had home in
| Oak Park where his wife was one Of
the leaders of the society in that city.
Downs came to the end of his string
Tor the first time in Kenosha. He
came to this city with a confederate
four years ago and when he left he
took with him fine team belonging
to Harry Kupfer, who was then in the
livery business in the city. Months
after the team had been stolen Downs
was arrested in Southern Illinois and
turned over to the Kenosha off cia1s.
He was brought back to this city and
for many months lay in the county
jail awaiting trial.
Downs was fighter from the word
go, and he never admitted that he took
tho Kn~ofo%s 4oo h
raigned in the circuit court and then
to the surprise of all, he turned round
and pleaded guilty. He was sent to
I Waupun for the term of three years
and as soon as he was released he
drifted back to his old habits and was
king among the band of horse thives
who had been working in Illinois and
Wisconsin. Downs was in Kenosha
only once since his release from prison
and he left on the first train.
Two months ago Downs was caught
In the act at Rockford, but he threat
ened to put up "a fight, and Chief
Reinold and several Of the Kenosha
officials were to have gone to Rock
ford today to testify against him, but
at the last minute Downs gave up the
fight and late Monday afternoon he
notified the district attorney that he
would plead guilty to the charge. He
got the full limit under the Illinois
laws.
Since Downs was first arrested IN
Kenosha the officers have made an eff
fort to learn something IN regard to
his family. It was stated that the
name was an assumed one and the of.
hcials were never able to find his real
name. Downs carefully concealed his
identity, and while he heard from
friends, he never received a letter
from any of his family while he was in
the county jail here. Downs will be
taken to Joliet tomorrow, and as he is
is an old man. it is probable that he
will die before completing his long
sentence.
