pills and pOtiOns. In reality, they are all
only SyntptUIsS caused by some uterine
disease. The physician. ignorant OF the

tice until large bills are made. The suf-

worse, by reason Of the delay. wrong

SHOW BIG INCREASE
Wealth Of the State Growing Fast
According to Reports of
State Bank Commissioner
WAGE FARMERS ARE SAVING

Deposits of the people of Wisconsin
in banks have increased during the
past year at the rate of $780, 900 a
month, the aggregate increase being
$o8, 400, 600.
This is the showing made in figures
presented in advance sheets Of the an
nual report of State Commissioner of
Banking M. G. Bergh, made public
today.
From 1895, when the State Depart
ment of Bank Supervision was estab-
ljshed, there has been a constant
growth of the number of banks under
the supervision of the department,
from 233 to 400. In the same period
the total resources have grown from
$43, 800, 600 to $114, 100000.
The commissioner makes some ex-
tensive recommendation for new leg
islation, in brief, as follows:
Special laws fostering savings
banks, treating them apart from COM
mercial banks, so as to encourage in
every safe and Legitimate way posi-
BILE the saving Of money by wage earn
ers. The New England mutual saw
ings bank system is approved. The
commissioner declares that unless the
several states devise methods of per-
fectly safeguarding savings deposits,
the day is not far distant when Postal
savings banks will be inaugurated by
the federal government.
The commissioner is opposed to the
establishment of branch banks and
says they are usually tablished by
one bank to foresta11 the organization
of another and competing bank in
field where another bank is needed.
Commissioner Bergh believes the time
has come for the State to call halt.
The commissioner finally recon-
mends legislation requiring his de-
partment to make examinations of
the institutions under it's supervision
every six months instead of once
year only.
Mr.. Bergh's report is for the fiscal
year ending Novemb Der II, 1906 Dur
ing that period seventy-three new
State banks were organized. Three
liquidated. Trust companies increased
in number from seven to eleven.

\ POLICE MYSTERY
Actions of Unknown Man and
Woman in Kenosha Cause
q Close investigation
STAY IN CITY WAS SHORT

The police officers of Kenosha, Chi
cago and Milwaukee have mystery,
and it is largely woven about the
mysterious actions of well dressed
man and woman who were iniKenosha
late Thursday nigks aud early Friday
morning.
The woman came in from Mi1wau-
kee at 9:52 Thursday night bringing
with her three ponderous trunks and
several pieces of smaller baggage,
and the man arrived from Chicago at
11.40 without baggage. The couple
entered carriage and were driven to
one of the hotels In the city where
they engaged a room for the night
and paid for it in advance. They had
the large trunks carried to the room
and they remained there for only
few minutes when the trunks we're
taken from the hotel back to the sta
ton. Here the man and woman
waited for the early morning train
from Chicago, and both went north.
An investigation at the hotel showed
that the room had not been used by
the people, and they left no name on
the register of the hotel to show their
identity. 1t is claimed that the man
seemed to be very much worried, and
that he paced the station platform for
more than half hour and seemed
anxious to get out of the city.
AT first the officials of Kenosha
thought that the couple were the peo-
pie wanted In connection with the
Stein robbery at Hinsdale, ILL.,, but
the capture of these robbers at Utica,
New York, has left the Keuosha mys-
terry even deeper. Officials in Chi
cago and Milwaukee have been com
municated with, and they areimaking
an effort to discover the identity of
the man and woman. So far as CT
be learned neither the man nor wo~ an
was known in Kenosha, and their err
rand to this city was evidently one of
very short duration.
The railway officials are unable to
make any statement in regard to the
couple more than that they sat in the,
station for the better part of three
hours talking in subdued tones.
