ALL IS QUIET
'sither Side Making Any
Move in the Haytian
Mix.Up

Washington, d. c., Jan. Is. 80 Mr..
Leger, the Haytian minister, was at
1 first disposed today to regret that
sAmerican Minister Fufniss and Com
8mander MARVEL of the Eagle, should
#have interfered in Hayti to the ex-
$tent Of protesting against the sum
mary bombardment of the rebellious
forces in st. Marc and Gonaives.
n State department officials, however,
pointed out that this protest was en-
ltirely in line with the rules of war
/ in modern times and that the second
Hague conference, in which Hayti
was represented by Minister Leger,
Rhad crystallized the indefinite law on
kthis subject into a permanent inter
national obligation by general
treaty prohibiting bombardments
without proper notice.
The only news received from the
Hscene of trouble today was a dis
patch sent to the navy department by
Commander MARVEL after he had
Preached Guantanamo aboard the gum
aboat Eagle. He said when the vessel
aleft Port au Prince at 10 o'clock Fri
Iday morning that everything was
lquiet there and when it left st. Marc
lat 8 o'clock in the afternoon, matters
&there were quiet and that the revo-
utionists ashore We're guarding the
onsulates of the various nations.

cation Scheme
Strip Between Painted Woods
and WaShburn to Be
Enriched

Washburn, Jan. 1S.-A large and
enthusiastic meeting of farmers and
residents of this city was held here
tonight to consider the proposition of
forming a waterusers' association for
the purpose of obtaining funds from
the reclamation service for the irriga-
ton of about 10000 acres of land
along the Missouri river from Wash
burn to Painted Woods.
w. H. Storrs, electrical engineer
in charge of the Williston and Blu
ford-Trenton projects, and State En-
gineer T. R. Atkinson addressed the
meeting as the principal speakers and
answered the many questions asked.
They showed the people the benefits
to DE derived from irrigation and the
best methods to pursue in order to
obtain funds from the reclamation
service to hasten the construction of
an irrigation plant.
State Engineer Atkinson has been
making preliminary surveys and
plans for the work during the past
month and is pleased to note that the
irrigation of the tract is practically
assured.
The development of the project will
mean a great deal, not only to the
farmers who will receive the water
on their land, but also to the two
counties and the state. 1t means
that abundant crops of all kinds will
be raised each year and that alfalfa
will be grown to ratten our cattle
at home.
A committee was appointed to or
ganize water users association for
the purpose of promoting the enter
prize and the people of this section
believe that ultimately we will have a
more extensive enterprise than that

Munich, Jan. 1S A strikingly
beautiful Russian woman presented
five hundred-rouble note at one of

the bank cashier telephoned at once
to the police.
Seeing the officers approaching, the
woman hastily attempted to swallow
slip of paper, but the officer grasped
her by the throat and prevented her
from so doing. 1t appeared from the
paper that two accomplices were
about to arrive here by the Paris ex-

the Russian charge d. affaires, went
to the station and on the arrival of
the train arrested them.

Fellows for Mercy on
J Old Man

Chicago, Jan. 1S-John R. Walsh,
former president Of the Chisago Ma
atipnal bank, which closed it doors in
Dec, 1905, was found guilty today on
4 iifty-four counts of the Indictment
Charging misappropriation of the

The penalty fixed by the statutes
for the offense of which the aged

The reading of the verdict was fol-

NO WORK SUICIDES
John vrabec, Out of Work for
Seven Months, Hangs Him
self in Cellar of Home
STRANGLED WITH FISH LINE
(From Fridays Daily


Out of work for seven months and
respondent and discouraged on account
Of this fact, John Vrabec, forty years
Of age, a Polander, hanged himself in
the cellar Of his home on Northwest
Main street just after one clock this
afternoon. The man was found few
minutes after he had strangled himself
by Joseph Metchko, neighbor and the
remains were turned over to the coro-
ner who is holding an inquest late this
afternoon
Vrabec had been a resident Of Keno
sha for number of years and was we'll
known among the Polish people of the
city. Up to seven months ago he had
been employed at the Simmons Manu-
featuring Company, but when the plant
shut down he was let out and since that
time he had worked at odd jobs where
ever he could pick them up For the
past week he had been acting strangely
and was greatly discouraged on account
of his inability to get work For sever.
al days he had haunted the factories,
but it seemed that none Of them wanted
a man Of his capacities. Just before
one o'clock the man was seen walking
in front Of his home and he seemed
to be greatly agitated. Several people
went past the house and spoke to him,
but he paid no attention to them. A
second later he went into the house and
this was the last seen of him. He went
directly to the cellar where there was
some fish line used for making nets.
He took piece Of this and made a
moose in one end and tied the other end
about rafter. The cellar was low and
in order to strangle himself it was
necessary for Vrabec to turn over on
his side. The man must have had an
awful struggle with death before he
completed his tragic deed. The wife
was in another part Of the house at the
time and she called Metchko to 90 to
the cellar and look after her husband.
Metchko found the man in the last
throes of death. DR.. A. VanWestreinen
was hurriedly called to the house, but
the man was dead when he arrived.
The remains were removed to the Mil
lie and Cosgrove morgue where the in
quest was being held late this afternoon
It is thought that the jury will return
verdict Of suicide. The wife of the
dead man is suffering from nervous
Iprostration and her condition is regard

CALL TO BAY CITY
M E. Walz, Head of German Lutheran

M. F. Walz, who has been at the head

city for the past few years, has received
a call to accept similar position at the
head of the schools Of the church in
Bay City, Mich. The call opens much
wider field Of work for Prof. Walz and
the position is very desirable one. It
not thought, however, that Mr.. Walz
will see fit to accept the call at this
time. He has taken a great interest in
the plans for the building of new
church home for the Lutherans of Ke-
nosha and it is thought that he will de-
eide to remain here until after these
plans have been carried out. The mat
ter will be laid before the meeting of
the Congregation on next Sunday after
noon and at that time some action on
his release will be taken. Prof. Walz
will be governed entirely by the action
of the congregation.

Property Owners Pleading for
Paving Find Little So|ace in
the Bonds Of K. E. R'y
FROST ONLY SURETY GIVEN
Under Present Conditions it is Feared
That the Property Of President
Of the Company Would
Prove Poor Surety

! After resting in the strong box of
Ex-Mayor German at the First Nation
al bank for more than year, the bonds
of the Kenosha Electric Railway Com
pany have been placed on file with the
city clerk and there is small comfort
in them for the property owners who
are now clamoring for street improve
ments. For months the bonds we're
missing, but they were finally found in
the bank and Former Mayor German
turned them over to the clerk soon af-
ter the Inauguration of his successor as
mayor.
At the time the bonds were presented
it was suggested that while Mr.. Frost
had considerable property there might
come time when a better bond would
be needed and the present condition of
affairs has shown the wisdom of the
men who opposed the approval Of the
bonds. The bonds two in number are
signed by the Kenosha Electric Rail
way Company by A G. Frost, its presi-
dent and Perine Beach, it's secretary
The surety which former Mayor Cor
man considered ample at the time is
the one name ga. G. Frost"
One of the bonds is in the sum Of
$4,000 and it is given to keep the city
harmless from loss on account of acct
dents pending the construction Of the
various lines. The other in the sum of
$25, 900 is to insure the city that Mr..
Frost and his associates will carry out
their contracts in regard to paving the
different streets of the city. The value
of these bonds is no greater or less
than the liability of the Kenosha Elec-
trio Railway Company, as the recent re-
ceiverships started in the Federal
Courts in Illinois have so tied up the
property of Mr.. Frost that he can hard
ly be considered as ample surety and
the Council if it comes back on any one
must come back on the Kenosha Elec-
trio Railway Company which it is ad-
mitted is the personal property Of A.
G. Frost.
Frost scheduled property in Wiscon-
sin equal to the value of the bonds, but
HE question will arise as to how much Of
this property is entailed by the different
Teceiverships started in Illinois and Wis
consin and it is certain that even should
Mr.. Frost have property untouched by
the receivers to the amount Of the bond
the city would have hard time getting
hold Of it. The incident will probably
serve as an object lesson to officials in
the future to demand the best Of surety
for any contracts with the city.

day afternoon to take Mrs. Rosina Mara
bell to the state asylum for the insane
at Mendoza had an eventful trip and
they came near failing to accomplish
their mission. Mrs Marabelli became
so violent after she had been taken
from the train at Madison that the two
men were completely exhausted when
they finally managed to get her to the
institution. The party reached Madison
just before midnight last night and
