SCARCE
Famine Of Help in Minnesota
and North Dakota Har-
vest Near.

st. Paul, July Minnesota is in
the grip of a harvest hand famine
which bids fair to extend into North
Dakota and South Dakota.
With grain almost ripe. Minnesota
farmers are at loss to know where
they are to get men to help them gar
ner the crop. Everyone is busy. The
factories and mills are all in operation
Laborers in every cit yand village
have plenty of employment.
Unless great preparations are made
in the next few days, there is every
indication that this famine will extend
to North. and South Dakota. The
wheat fields of North Dakota will not
be ready for week or SO and probably
longer, so that state has time to Sc
cure hands, if there are any in the
country.
The Minnesota labor bureau is doing
everything in its power to relieve the
situation. Circular letters have been
sent out into several states, and efforts
have been made to secure hands from
Kansas Oklahoma and the Southern
states which are through or we'll along
with their harvest.
Hundreds of men are being carried
into the northwest for railroad work,
however, who have no intention of
engaging for longer than the two
weeks preceding harvest, unless the
railroad contractors bid higher than
the farmers to keep them. The situ-
alton is creating tremendous compe-
titiOn for labor and the farmers are
straining every nerve by hook or
crook to get ready for the grain cut
ting.
Some relief is to be afforded in the
harvest labor situation by the fact that
help will come from an unexpected
source this year. Hundreds of home
seekers who have taken claims this
year in North Dakota will have no
crops to harvest and time lying on
their hands, they will probably get in
to the fields.
Railroad and labor men who have
been approached in regard to the la
Dor situation and the harvest shake
their heads and say it is the same old
story with the added contingency of a
big crop. The labor agency managers
say that there is not the slightest en-
cuse for any man to be out of work.
They explain the fact that lot of men
can be found loafing about the bridge
square by the statement that they sim
ply will not work. Representatives of
the employment bureaus are securing
the streets for laboring men and are
shipping them into the northwest free
of charge and without questioning
the mtoo closely as to whether they
will stick the work they are hired for
or whether they will stay on train to
destination. More men," is the cry
everywhere. Wages are attractive and
work is plenty, but men are scarce.

Oils for the Hair.
Betty Braden says in the Tribune:
All oils for the hair work better for
the addition of little alcohol. In
sprains and bruises also where winter
green oil is freely used, alcohol in
creases its efficacy. Stiff joints and
muscles can be banished by free use
of olive oil and alcohol, probably by
the use of any other oil with the spir-
it's that carry it quickly into the pores.
Oil for the hair women will not con-
slider, yet its absence is the cause OF
scanty, lustreless locks. l had a talk
with highborn Chinese woman who
had chung to her native habits, des-
pite her residence in American cities.
She had marvelously thick, long
hair, as shining as birds plumage.
From infancy that hair had been treat
ed to what she called a tonic, and oil
was its basis. A hair-growing oil it
must have been, but she did not know
its name-every Chinese woman used
it on her own hair and that Of her
children. The Chinese seldom grow
bald, seldom grow gray. Our grand
fathers grew bald and gray, but not in
youth as do the men of the present
day, and hair oil was part of their
toilet. Tell woman that her hair
roots need nourishment and fat or oil
is the best kind, and you meet with a
surprising mountain of obstinacy.
Fluffy hair means dry hair, and fluff
ness is the fashion. So hair will con-
tinue to deteriorate, and an era OF

INSOMNIA DISCOVERED.
Causes Of Insomnia Revealed by
Prominent Physicians.

King Edwards physician in ordin-
airy, Sir William Broadbent, explains
in medical magazine the causes of
insomnia. AS Sir William is quite an
authority on nervous affections, and
as insomnia is a common distress, his
opinions are of value.
There are, says Sir William, good
sleepers and bad sleepers: light Sleep
ers. disturbed by the least light or
sound: heavy sleepers, who rest calm
ly through thunderstorm. Some
fortunate persons fall asleep almost
as soon as the head rests on the pill
low every night; others less fortunate
must patiently WOO sleep.
The quality of sleep also varies.
The neurasthenic wakes tired after a
long nights rest, the after-dinner
sleep of undue repletion is unrefresh-
ing and sometimes Supplying. On the
other hand, brief nap may dismiss
at once the fatigue and languOr of q
busy man.
The greatest foe of sleep is, perhaps,
terror; suspension and anxiety come
next
When cold feet interfere with sleep,
it is not merely through the feeling of
cold as such, but by an influence on
the general and cerebral circulation.
Goodness of the feet, indeed, is often
concomitant of sleeplessness rather
than its cause.
When the feet are cold after hard
brain work the blood seems to ne
positively shut of from the feet. A
hot bottle is then often of no use, and
the best way of warming the feet with
view to procuring sleep is to stand
in cold water and then rub the feet
dry with a rough towel.

Test Of Law for Nomination by
Direct Vote Shows That it
Must be Changed
OPPOSING PARTIES CONTROL

There was one lesson from the pri-
mary election of Tuesday and that
was the fact that it showed that the
present law for the nomination of
candidates by the direct vote of the
people must be changed before it will
accomplish the results for which it
was planned. Kenosha never saw a
candidate nominated in which there
was SO much chicanery as there was
in connection with the nomination of
the. Democratic candidate on Tues
day. The Democratic candidates
openly sought the aid of the Republi-
can voters and there is no doubt but
that both men had the support of men
who should have been voting the
straight Republican ticket. Under
the law, however, the power of nam
ing the Democratic candidate was
placed III the hands of the Republi-
cans. In wards where the Repub1i-
cans had no contests there can be no
doubt but that many Republicans
voted Tor their preference of the
Democratic candidates.
| Thece.was no elimination of the old
evils Of the caucus, for great punches
of foreigners who could not have
taken part in political caucus and
who would not have dared to at
tempt it, walked to the polls Tues
| day and aided materially in nominal
ton Of candidates. The tickets were
SO badly mixed in many wards that it
was almost impossible to secure a
count and at one O'Clock this morn
hight was impossible to tell who had
received the nomination.
The cost of the primary to the rival
Democratic candidates for mayor has
shown that it is impossible for poor
man to run for office under the
primary law. 1t is estimated that the
cost to the two candidates was not
less than $500 and the cost to the city
for the primary election must have
been in the neighborhood of So, 900.
The primary is an expensive failure
as it stands, and the next man elected
to the. Legislature from this county
should be pledged for its early revi-
sion.

rs CAUGHT AT ELGIN
Mrs. Sadie McMasters, Of Keno
sha, Arrested for Grand Lar
ceny at EIgin, Ill.
CHARGED WITH MANY CRIMES

A letter received from E1gin, ILL.,,
this morning announced that Sadie
McMasters, woman claiming to live
in Kenosha, had been arrested in that
city Tuesday afternoon on charge
of grand larceny. The woman had
been stopping at one of the best hotels
in E1gin, but it is claimed that she
was a most polished shoplifter. At
the time Of her arrest the officers
searched her room and it is alleged
that they found more than $500 worth
of goods which are supposed to have
been stolen.
The woman is not known to the
Kenosha police, and it is thought that
if she is from Kenosha she is travel
ing under an assumed name. Several
years ago woman giving the name of
McMasters came here and was en-
gagged IN the work of raising funds
for hospital to be erected at Wash
ing ton for the cure of inebriates, and
it is thought this is the woman that
has been arrested at E1gin.
The officers of the Illinois city seem
to be of the opinion that Mrs. Nc
Masters is shrewd criminal, and it
is possible that the Kenosha off
will make an effort to go to Elgin and
identify her.
During the past few weeks Mrs.
McMasters had been in Elgin. She
had stopped at the hotel and was said
RI he connected with some Chicago
company as d sa1eslady. This fact
gave her an entrance to many stores
and making the best of her chances
she managed to get away with con-
siderable booty.
At the time Of her arrest she de-
clared that the goods found in her
room were goods which she had pur-
chased and which she had openly
offered for sale.

NELSON rs A SUICIDE
Former Kenosha Mans Body Found
Hanging in Cellar

Former Kenosha Mans Body Found
Hanging in a Cellar
Nels Nelson, a laborer, formerly re-
siding on Bond street in this city,
committed suicide Monday at his
home, 1911 Seventeenth street, RAJ
cine, the body being found in the
cellar of the house by the wife of the
suicide, who had gone to call him, as
a man named Larson, digger of wells,
had visited the house and desired to
see Nelson.
Sunday Nelson gave his wife
beating because she interfered when
he was about to chastise the children.
Monday morning Nelson left his home
and with a man named Peter Peterson
visited several saloons and drank con-
siderable liquor. At o'clock the
two men returned to the Nelson
home, and after partaking of some
lunch, Nelson asked his wife where
she had placed some arsenic, as he
wanted to place itlon his head in or
der to makesthe hair grow. Not be-
lug dulG w HuQ tue dISSuIC, NELSON
went into sthescellar and obtaining
clothes line, placed it around rafter
and while standing on a chair fas-
tened the other end about his neck,
and kicking the chair away, was
Istrang1ed. Mrs. Nelson went into the
cellar half al hour later and saw her
husband, as she thought, standing in
a corner of one of the rooms in the
basement, and then went upstairs.
When Mr.. Larson called to see Nelson
the wife az ain went into the cellar to
call him and walking to his side saw
that ne was hanging, and she sum
moned Mr.. Larson, who cut the body
down.
Nelson, who was about As years of
age, resided in Kenosha for some
time, working as common laborer.
He went to Racine less than six
months ago. He is survived by
widow and six small children.

Chicago City Council Finally Passes
Ordinance for the Elevation
of Tracks of Connecting
Railway Lime

In connection with the expansion
of the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
Railway company, the action of the
Chicago city council Tuesday evening
in granting the ordinance allowing
| the connection of the Northwestern
elevated to the St. Paul spur at Evan
ston, is most important. The connec-
will the cars of the Milwaukee E1ec-
trio road be sent into the heart of
Chicago via the ST. Paul and the
Northwestern elevated, and in anoth-
er month it will be possible to go from
Kenosha into the very heart of Chi
cago.
Of the passage of the measure a
Chicago morning paper says:
"After struggle Of two years or
more the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul ordinance was passed by the
city council Tuesday night, the vote
being 81 to II in its favor. This action
was taken,sin spite of an opinion from
Corporation Council Lewis to the eff
feet that the double barre1ed grant Of
power to the railroad IN conjunction
with thesNorthwestern elevated rail
way company was dangerous.
