MUCH WORK TO DO.
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric R'y to
be Completed by Next Spring.

De completed by Next Spring.
It will be mouths before the Chi
cago q Milwaukee Electric Railway
Company will be able to operate cars
IN Milwaukee, judging from the pro-
gress of the work, and it is not likely
that the company will be ready to
run cars before the First avenue
Sixth street viaduct is completed
next spring or summer.
Under the present Chicago and Mil
waukee franchise the company is re-
quired to have two miles of track
within the city of Milwaukee laid and
in operation by August %. President
A. c. Frost in arguing for his new
franchise has said that if it was not
granted he would fall back upon his
old one, and he has contended that
he could meet it's provisions
However, the matter has been
amicably arranged and a new fran
chise will be introduced, it is under
stood, in accordance with the agree.
ment between Mr.. Frost and John I.
Beggs, president of the Milwaukee
Electric Railway and Light company.
It would appear from observation,
though, that desperate attempt has
been made to lay two miles of track
within the city, but it is not apparent
what motive power was to be used.
Unless horse power were used, it
would be necessary to string a tenn
porary electrical power line for miles
to run cars within the city.
approximately two miles of single
track have been laid by the company
within the city from the south city
limits, OF Kinnickinnic creek, to
Greenfield avenue. A few feet re-
main to be laid at each end and a
crossing has to be put in at Mitchell
street.

KENOSHA IS HEAL THY
Report of Register Of Deeds for
Past Six Months Shows That
Death Rate is Low
MARCH A RECORD MONTH
Number of Births and Marriages Both
Show Increase Over the Number
Reported Last Year, While
the Deaths are Less

Register of Deeds P. C. Torrey this
morning forwarded to the Secretary
OF State his semi-annua1 report of the
vital statistics for Kenosha city and
county, and the report shows that Ke-
nosha county is one of the most
healthy districts in Wisconsin if not
IN the world. The highest death rate
reported for the last six month was in
February, when the rate reached a
little more than two to the thousand
people, and the lowest death rate was
IN March, when the number of deaths
were but one for five thousand peo-
pie. It is not thought that such a
record has ever been surpassed by a
county of the same size as Kenosha
county.
The report shows that the total
number of deaths from January 1st to
July 1st was 208, a slight decrease
from the number last year during the
same time. The greater number of
deaths reported were those of old peo-
pie, but there has been a large NUM-
Der of deaths among the children.
Few deaths of people of middle age
were reported in the period. InJanu-
airy there we're but seventeen deaths
in the county, but the cold, raw
weather of February is shown in the
report, as the total numb Der of deaths
IN the month IN the county reached
high number of sixty-three. The
wa naf ~fA
proved decidedly l1ealthful, as the
total number of deaths reported from
the entire county in March was but
seven.
This is the smallest mum Der of deaths
reported for any month during the
last five years. April with its winter
weather proved a good month for the
the undertakes as fifty-four deaths
were reported for this month. The
coming of the warmer weather had
its effect and the number for May
was reduced to ffty-one and in June
twenty six deaths were reported.
The normal increase of population
IN the county through the natural
source of births has been more than
maintained in the six months as 325
births were reported and it is thought
that many records of births which
should have been filed during this
period are still in the hands Of the
physicians and midwives and they
will be turned ia later In the year.
The number of births in the last three
months was los so that the increases
in population are shown to be about
equally divided between the winter
and the summer months.
Cupid has not been busy in Kenosha
county and year by year the number
of marriages seems to be falling off
rather than increasing. Weeks have
passed without the issuance of a mar
riage license and it is remarkable
that more than fifty percent of the
marriages in the county are performed
for people living in other states. The
number of foreigners who come to
Kenosha to we'd has not oeen greatly
diminished by the passage of the
different laws regulating the cele-
brationz of the marriage ceremony in
the city.
The total number of marriages for
the six months was 1877, 49, were per-
formed in the last three months and
81 during the winter months

HORSE THIEVES BUSY
Team and Surrey Stolen From Genoa
Junction and May Be Here

4
Junction and May Be Here
The Kenosha police force this morn
ing received messages from Genoa
Junction asking them to make an
effort to locate team of horses and
a surrey stolen there on Friday morn
ing. The thieves are supposed to
have driven toward Kenosha and it
IS thought that the team is being kept
IN hiding until the vigilance of the
officialsrelaxes.
The team was owned by George,
Shines, of Heron, H.. and he has of
fered reward of $50 for its recovery.
It is thought that the horse thieves
workingat Genoa were members of
the same party that recently worked
in the town of Sornerss and in Bristol
None of the stolen horses have ever
been recovered.

Hon. Wyatt Aiken,
Abbeville, S. C.
Sir:
Replying further to your letter Of
March 10th, in regard to the estab-
lishment of additional r. p. O. SER
vice between Columbia and Green
vile, I beg to state, first, that owing
to our having exhausted the number
of additional clerks allowed for the
current fiscal year it will be impossi-
bic to establish any additional service
before the 1st of July. tt is also un-
dcrStood that the two new trains, 18
and 10, are in a sense experimental.
Train Is has but one connection lcav-
ing Grccnvillc which is not made by
train II; that is from the Grccnville
and Atlanta r. p. O. train 80. II has
no important connections at Colum-
bia. Train 10 lcavin" Columbia has
Il number of connections, but from Il
mail standpoint the additional scr
vice Is not regarded as important. as
we already have double daily service
on the line, and we are also using
the two trains for closed pouches from
trains 80 of the Greensboro and At
lanta II. p. O. for Bclton and Wal
halla r. p. O., Pclzer. Piedmont, Will
hanson and IIonca Path. This il is
thought furnishes reasonably good
service.
Very respectfully,

A FAKE STORY.
That Five Million Dollars Fund-No
Truth In It---Democrats Should
Make Tariff Main Issue.
From James S. Mccarthy.

From James S. Mccarthy.
Washington, D. c., April 14.-The
United States Department of Agri-
culture has issued a very interest
ing and important bulletin on legum-
inous crops for green manuring. The
Bulletin points out that the most
important object achieved by green
manuring is the addition of humus
to the soil. Other things being equal,
the best green-manure crop is that
which furnishes the largest amount
of material which will readily decay
i'll the soil and thus form humus.
There are, however, additional ways
III which such crop may be bcnefi-
cial. Dcep-rooted plants are decid-
edly preferable to snallow-rooted
ones because they penetrate into the
sub-soil. and in this way air and wat
cr find entrance especially after the
roots decay, thus in ii way every deep
rooted plant is suh-soilcr. tt is
also supposed that such plants. es-
pccially when plowcd under tend to
enrich the surface with potash and
phosphate from the sub-soil thus
bringing" these substances within the
reach of shallow-rooted plants.
1t is the well night UNIVERSAL opin-
ion in Washington that the story re-
GENTLY sent out to the eject that the
moneyed men of the country have
raised a fund of $5,O0O,O0O for the
purpose of defeating President Roose-
welt and his. policies was made out of
whole cloth, and originated in or near
the White House for the purpose of
creating public sentiment in favor of
President Roosevelt and drawing the
attention of the country from the
scandal developed in his controversy
with Mr.. Hartman relative to the
great campaign fund alleged to have
been contributed by certain corpora
tions in the election Of 1904.
The truth is no conspiracy exists
to defeat Mr.. Roosevelt or his poll
cies. and there is not single bit of
evidence to prove that any sum of
money has been raised for the pur-
pose of pushing a campaign against
him. Mr.. Roosevelt is simply at his
old tricks, playing to the galleries,
and appealing to the prejudices of
the mthinking masses in order to
win further political favor.

Trade Of the United States with its
American neiehbors constitutes prac-
tically one-fourth Of its foreign com
mcrce. Figures covering two-thirds
OF the current fiscal year have just
been ISSUED by the Bureau of Sta
tistics Of the Department of Com
mcrce and Labor. They show that out
of total commerce Of 2.222 million
dollars for this fractional part of the
year, trade with America exclusive
of thc United States aggregated 536
millions, almost evenly divided be-
tween imports and exports, the lat
ter exceeding the former by only sin
teen millions in a total of over half
billion dollars. These figures, it is
proper to state, do not include the
movements Of merchandise between
the United States and Porto Rico,
now a customs district of the United
States. The shipment to THAT is
land during the eight months ending
with February last amounted to six
teen and one-half million dollars,
while Porto Rico shipments to the
United States for the same period
were valued at II million of dollars.
Leading Democrats visiting Wash
in2ton are strongly Of the opinion
that the Democratic party should
make the tariff the paramount issue
in the next Presidential campaign.
They point out that the party has got
about all the glory there is to be had
in the regulation of railroads and
that if the party hopes to stand any
show whatever in 1908 other issues
must be put forward. Upon the ques-
ton Of tariff reform the Democratic
party can be united, while upon that
issue the Republican party is rent in
twain. A demand for tariff revision
would be an exceedingly strong card,
especially with the farmers, as every
article used on tho farm is burdencd
With heavy tariff duty. Tt is to the
farmers that the Democracy must
look for support in the next cam
paign; therefore, it is highly evpedi-
ent that an issue that would apopal

Even John Brown Of Kansas came
and Harper Ferry notoriety is not
censured, but rather made a martyr
of. In, describing the relative
strength Of our two arms, north and
south, an effort is made to instill
into the students mind the two arm
less were about equal, "while the
northern army was largest, yet the
south fighting on the defensive Oh
her own ground made them compara-
lively equal.' It is made to appear
in most every battle fought the for
ces we're either equal or the southern
force was greater. No such statement
is made that the north mustered in
100000 men, while the south only
had 100000, and while 100000 men
were in the muster roll of the north
ern army at the close Of the war, the
south had only 100000.
Says this history of the first battle
of Manassas: "The forces engaged
were equal, 10000 strong each, all
raw recruits on both sides.' 1t is
we'll known that the enemy had more
than two to our one, and for several
hours Of the engagement five to our
one. They had the whole Of their
regulars on the field, that knew
something Of the art Of war. Our
troops were both raw and green and
we'll they were, for it was then said
by some Federal officers, who in
speaking of our boys, remarked
"The d-m rebels don't know
when they are whipped, but kept on
fighting like devils.'
On page 331 appears the most mis-
leading statement of any possibly
contained in the book: "Sherman
reached Columbia, the capital of
South Carolina, about the middle of
February, 1868, giving orders for the
destruction of all property which
might aid the Confederacy in pro-
longing the war. Unfortunately the
town caught fire and in spite Of all
the efforts of the union army to ex-
tinguish the flames, the greater part
of the place was burned to the
ground" Gen. Howard could have
informed him better.
Says this northern writer, supply
ing history for the south's rising
generation: "Gen. Lee had fought
with all his might, he was wrong. -
This is as yet an undecided question
even at the north and where whole
nations disagree on this momentous
question, yet it is left for Boston
