GET K1ssER IN ZION
Man Arrested Charged With Hugging
and kissing Women Of Village


William Atom, IS years old. a resi-
dent of Zion City, was arrested
Friday on double charge of assault
and battery, it being alleged that he
had kissed Eva Busch, Is years old.
and Clara Jackson, also IL years old.
His hearing came up before Justice
Stanley in Zion City, but Atom re-
fused to make any denial of the
charge, affirming that no matter what
he said it would be impossit for him
to get square deal. He likewise
refused a jury trial because he said
that even if he did have a jury it
would be composed of Voliva's min-
ions and that he would be given no
opportunity to prove his innocence.
Justice Stanley find him $50 and
costs on the first charge and 500 and
costs on the second charge. Atom
appealed his case and it will come up
IN the Zion City court in June, when
he will ask for change of venue, and
1t is probable that the case will be
heard in the the Circuit Court of
Waukegan.

WISCONSIN is going to wake up some
day to find herself way behind her
sister states in road improvement
work. This legislature has done Moth

and public sentiment is not yet strong
enough to force any action. So we
shall continue to fritter away the tax
payers money in the same old way,
spending enough to make really good
roads and getting practically nothing
for it.

Three Days Contest Between
Capital and Labor at Tannery
Cost More Than $40, 900
SIXTEEN MEN STILL STRIKING
Settlement of the Bill of the Big Strike
Shows that Laborers Lost Three
Dollars to One for the Conn
pany Owning Plant

"A three days Strike at the pldnl
of the N. r. Allen Tannery is luxury
that the figures show the men employ
ed could not afford to stand more thar
once a year and added to this it is al
, expensive proposition for the city Of
Kenosha as well as for the managers
of the plant. The summing up of the
cost of the strike shows the following
figures:
Loss to men, $500; Loss to Man
ayers of the plant, $4,000; Expense to
city of Kenosha, $175; Expense to
county of Kenosha, Sis.
The expenses of the strike in detail
have been closely estimated and are
given as follows.
COST TO STRIKERS
Wages Of 1899 men for three days at
$500 a day, $500; Spent in saloons
when not at work, $500; Total loss to
men, SIS, 900.
The item OF the amount spent IN the
saloons by the men is, of course, only
estimated and it is possible that it is
spent as the saloons in the neighbor-
hood and other parts Of the city did a
decidedly thriving business during the
continuance of the strike.
COST TO N. R. ALLEN's SONS COMPANY
Three days protection of plant by
Milwaukee detectives, $3.50; Furnish
ing meals and lodging for fifty men
employed, $500; Loss in operating ex-
penses from departments not work
ing, $3.50; Total loss to the company,
$1,000.
LESS 10 CITY AND COUNTY.
Fifteen extra police officers at So a
day, $135; Fifteen extra deputy sher-
ifs at So day, $135; total cost to city
and county, 1910; Grand total cost of
the strike, $11,170.
An examination of theahgures will
show that the cost to the striking
worknen was about three times as
large as the cost to the managers OF
the plant and to the city and county
of Kenosha. In their estimate of the
cost of the strike the managers of the
plant have counted nothing for loss OF
time, on account Of the fact that the
warehouses are now overstocked with
finished leather, for which there is nc
demand or market, and for this reason
the company was in splendid condi.
ton tolose few days. If the COM
pany had been rushed with orders
and had no stock on hand the hnan-
cial loss would have been much
greater, but even under such circum,
stances 1t is doubtful if the loss to the
company would have been as great as
the loss to the men.
There are still sixteen men out al
the plant, and they are the Original
men who started the strike. No al.
tention is being paid to these men by
the factory managers or by the other
workmen. They have been offered a
concession to return to work and have
declined to accept it, and the other
men in the plant seem to be of the
opinion that they have been fairly
treated and that for this reason they
ere not entitled to airy great show OF
sympathy. Nearly all of the officers
guarding the plant have been with
drawn, but the police will remain
about the buildings until tomorrow.

ADVICE TO THE FARMERS
A Texas Farmer Writes of the Union
 and Other Things.

To The Newark Journal:
 Bertram, Tex, Jan. 26.-We are having the warmest weather in this part of the globe ever seen here. We rarely see snow here any winter, but this winter has been so warm people could not save their. meat. Peach trees are in bloom now and the grass and weeds are green.
 Some farmers have their land all ready to plant. This is the most prosperous times here with the farmers 1 ever saw. The Farmers Union is taking the lead here and the great subject with us is the warehouse. l note sale of stored cotton in the warehouse at Gonzales, Tex, on the 23rd that was being held for II cents. The buyers paid 1l cents, paying the farmers a total of $3O.OOO. They were much pleased with having held their cotton. We note the National Union says we will fix a minimum price to be put on the crop for this year. This begins to look like business.
 It is enough for the farmer to ask the dealer, what he will take for his goods. Then let him ask Mir. Farmer what will you take for your cotton? Talk diversifi- cation of crops in your meetings, cut off the credit system and keep out of debt.
 l will tell you how I raise meat. In June 1 set 3 or acres of land in sweet potatoes, that is growing In corn; set one plant between each hill of corn and blow one time. Then 1 plant peas in the middles. The potatoes will make in the fall and so will the peas. Then turn in your pork hogs. You will fatten your meat at nearly no cost, and besides this the hog will give your land good fall blowing. Try this MT. Farmer and see how much easier 1t is than feeding 10 or 20 bushels of corn per head.
 Peanuts can be planted in your corn in June in place of potatoes If preferred. They will make your meat and your land. Try 1t, Brother Farmer, then tell us the results. T. H. POWELL.
