Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1908-05-29

A recently published report Of the
criminal statistics for an English year,
indicates that there has been notable
relative decrease in crime during the
last half century. The year 1906 saw
practically the same number of thefts
and crimes of violence as was recorded
for 1857. Between the two dates the
population of the country has grown
from 100000 to 100000. Making
comparisons, it appears that crime has
decreased about 40 per cent. It is
pity that so much cannot be said for
this country, where there is frightful
increase of some forms of crime. Just
why there should be such a state Of
things is a matter for the sociOlogists
The improvement in the facilities for
education is mentioned as one reason
for the steady decrease in crime. Eng
Iishmen never have been so given to
homicide and the greater crimes as the
people of the southern European states,
for instance. In other respects, too,
they seem to be becoming more law
abiding as the years go by. Fairly
homogeneous in race, they do not have
the problem which the United States
has to face. The report mentioned en-
phasizes another point often noted in a
study Of English criminal statistics.
It is the surprising number of cOnvic-
lions in relation to the number of ar
rests. During the year of the report
622,44 persons were convicted out of
760,O57 who were tried. The year pre-
viOus the proportion was about the
same. The figures suggest more care
in making arrests than is manifested
in the United States. When the right
person is found the trial is speedy. AS
a result conviction follows in the large
proportion of the cases. The police
record Of Chicago for the same year
covered by the English report shows
over $4,000 arrests, but when the cases
were tried in the police courts nearly
10000 of those arrested were dis
charged. This accuracy Of justice in
England when taken with the decrease
of crime in it's relation to the total
population, ought to awaken envy in
this country.

The sufferer from sick headaches
migrGine and megrim and other names
by which the pain is just as bad-has
no need for a description of the symp-
toms of his malady. The racking pain
in the head, the nausea, the sensitive
ness to noise and to light are all too
real to call for mention.
The disease is one in the class of
what are called "functional' nervous
diseases, that is. those in which there
are no LESSONS" or visible structural
changes in the body by which the symp-
toms can be explained. The term is
really an expression of ignorance, for
there must be some abnormality some
where in the body at the bottom of all
disease that is not imaginary. That
there is some real trouble of the ner-
vOuS system in sufferers from sick
headache is shown by the fact that the
disease is often, if not always, hered-
itary. The trouble may not have eX-
listed in the same form in one or more
Of the parents or grandparents-tha
is, there may be no history of head
aches of the same character; but in
was some nervous defect of greater or
lesser degree, perhaps twitching of
the face or an arm, or an oddity of
speech or manner, or it may be an
actual nervous disease such as epilepsy.
The defect in the nervous equilib-
rum exists as the foundation of the
trouble, but this in itself would not
cause the attacks of migrdit,e These
are excited by some other abnormality
it may be in the nose or in the ear
Or in the digestive tract, or, and most
commonly, in the eyes. The irritation
of these little physical defects reacts
upon the nervous system, impercepti-
bly, at first, but in cumulative way,
until finally the irritation becomes so
great that there is an explosion, and
an attack of Sick-headache follows.
This, like the discharge from a Leyden
jar. removes the tension and restores
the equilibrium for while. Then the
irritability is gradually increased until
another explosion occurs-and so on.
The treatment consists in removal of
the underlying physical defect. The
longer the condition lasts the more diff
ficult it becomes to cure, but if taken
in youth, before a habit, as it were,
has become established, the result of
treatment is often most happy.
Astigmatism or some other visual de-
feet is often the root of the trouble,
and the eyes should receive the first
attention. If glasses afford no relief,
then the nose, the ears and the other
organs should be examined in turn.
Older sufferers can be greatly reliev-
ed also. even if it is too late for per
feet cure.-Youtn's Companion.

uncertainty. A fire which destroyed
the Guinness home also disclosed the
fact that her three children had either
been murdered before the fire or that
they had persisted in the flames.
In some respects the methods of Mrs.
Belle Guinness seem similar to those
of the Infamous Bender family in Kan
sas. Yet it is doubtful if the blood
thirsty Kate Bender in her palmiest
days was ever equal to the awful
crimes that are laid at the door of the
Guinness woman. The story Of the La
Porte murder farm recalls the noto-

THE LA PORTE MURDER FARM.
GrewsOme Revelations There Read
Like a Story of the Mid-Centuries.

Like a Story of the Mid-Centuries.
Like chapter from the bloody rec
ords of the mid-centuries is the ter
rible story unfolded by the authorities
of La Porte, Ind, where wholesale muir
der was done for years without anyone
knowing or suspecting it. Criminal rec
ords contain no parallel of the grew
some story revealed in the finding Of
the clearing house for murders kept by
Mrs. Belle Guinness near the Indiana
town. Just how many persons met
their fate in connection with the bloody
business carried on there will perhaps
never be known. The skeletons dis
covered on her premises and the fact
that expressmen had many times de-
livered to her boxes and trunks now
believed to contain human bodies form
the chief materials for the construction
Of the strange story Of her career. She
is supposed to have lured rich men to
her den by matrimonial advertisements
and then made away with them for
their money, and also to have run
murder fence for the benefit of her
partners in the awful trade of human
slaughter, the latter operating in Chi
cago and sending the bodies Of their
victims to her for burial. It is the
theory of the prosecution that Mrs.
Guinness deliberately lured men to
her farm by means of an advertisement
in a Chicago newspaper, in which she
represented herself as an attractive and
amiable widow looking for mate. She
alleged that she was the owner Of
valuable farm and sought a well-to-do
farmer as a husband. After a visit
from such a candidate she generally in
duced him, it appears, to sell his farm
and come to her with the proceeds of
the sale, at which time she would de-
iberately murder him and bury his
body en- the premises
For years this strange woman is
said to have conducted her murder mill,

COFFEE AS WEDDING GIFT.

Peculiar Custom Which Is General
in COffee-Raising Countries.
1--WE have a custom in the coffee
raising countries" said Senior Joaquin
Nabucco the Brazilian ambassador to
the United States, (which is unknown
in other parts of the world. When
a child is born in the coffee country,
a sack of the best grain is set aside
as part of the inheritance, to be re-
ceived on attaining it's majority. Usu-
ally the sack is the gift from some
close friend or relative, and it is
guarded as sacredly as if it were a
gift of gold Or bonds. No stress would
induce a Brazilian parent to use cof-
fee which was made the birth gift of
a child. AS rule it is sealed with
the private seal of the owner and bears
a card giving all particulars about the
variety of grain, it's age on being sack
ed and the birth of the child to whom
it is given, and other details which
are very interesting when the gift is
due.
Generally the coffee is opened for
the first time when the child marries
The coffee for the reception or mar
riage feast is made from the legacy,
and, according to precedent. this must
be the first time the sack is opened.
After the coffee is made for the we'd
ding feast the sack is carefully closed
and sent to the new home of the young
couple, and should keep them in this
staple for year at least. When both
bride and bridegroom have the birth
gift of coffee they have started life
under very hopeful conditions, so far
as one necessary is concerned. Few
people know that the older the IN
parched grain of coffee is the better
the flavor. Like wine it grows with
age, and that which is over twenty
years mellowing under proper condi-
lions will bring from $3.50 to 81 =
pound from cOnnoisseurs. The giving
ct pounds Of green coffee is a COM
mon practice in the coffee belt. Friends
exchange these gifts and compare re-
suits. When one cannot afford to give
sack of coffee it frequently is the
case that ten pounds of the best green
is packed in fancy case and bestow-
ed on a newly born child, with direc
tons that it must not be opened until
the wedding day."-New York Press.

facts are constantly coming to light
to show that half the story Of the great

aces, has never been told. The latest

and a foot wide, richly emblazoned
with Chinese characters. To the Ger
man tavern keeper it was merely a
pretty piece Of Chinese embroidery, and

finding of it was due to the world wide
search which Chinese diplomats and
consular agents have conducted ever
since it was stolen. 1t has now been

Des Moines, Iowa, has been governed
under a new system since early in
April. The government is not divided
into legislative and executive branches,
as is common in MOST American cities
The executive and legislative officers
are the same. There are a mayor and
four councilmen, each of whom is the
head of an executive department. That
which the mayor controls is called the
department of public affairs. The
mayor and councilmen meet together
as a legislature and pass ordinances.
The will of any three prevails. The
mayor receives thirty-fve hundred dol
lars a year, and each of the councilmen
three thousand. 1t is maintained by
the supporters of the law that the sal
aries are large enough to attract capa-
Die citizens to office. While cOnsidera-
