Miss Nettie Cook, for the past year
teacher of botany and other sciences

mally notified the members of the
teachers committee of the Board of
Education that she will resign her posi-
ton as a teacher in the Kenosha High
School to accept a place in the High
School at Springfield, H. Miss Cook
was elected as instructor in Botany and
Zoology at Springfield on Monday even
ing and will send a formal resignation
to the Kenosha Board as soon as she
is formally notified Of her election.
The departing teacher has been con
sidered one of the most valuable teach
ers in the high school during the year
just closing and her departure is great
ly regretted by the members of the
Board. Her place at Springfield will
offer her large increase in salary.
The teachers committee of the Board

HEAR ROBINSON DIVORCE
Chicago Judge Hears More of Troubles
Of Former Kenosha People

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry T. Robinson,
formerly Of Kenosha, are again in the
lime light in Chicago as the suit for
divorce brought against Robinson by
his wife is now being heard in the Cir
cult Court of Cook County BIZ Judge
Barnes. The wire is demanding the
custody of the three times kidnapped
daughter of the couple and in order to
secure this the life Of her husband is
being barred to the court. Mrs. Robin
son accuses her husband Of infdelity
and asserts that he has been living in
Chicago with woman who has been
known as Helen E. Robinson. This
has been denied by Robinson and he
asserts that his life has been as gentle
as summers day. TIE hearing of
the case will probably require several
days. The daughter over which the
fight is now being made is in the
custody of the court, but it is thought
that the decision in the action for di-
vorce will result in her being given to
either the father or the mother.

is in part as follows:
For the month of May there were
issued Is, 495 benefit certificates to that
number of new members, and we chart

record breaker-the fourth event in
that class during the year 1909, which
we have been able to announce, Febru-

The record for May last year (190S)
was 10,409 new members written; May
this year (19O9), 13,495-a gain of
1896. The greatest number of new
members written in the month of May

WHEAT ON DECLINE
Bulletin Issued by State Univer-
sity Claims That Dairying
Drives Out the Crops
RECKLESS USE OF THE SOIL

An interesting discussion Of "The
Rise and Decline of the Wheat Grow
ing Industry in Wisconsin, has been
published under the title as bulletin
Of the economies series Of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin by John g.
Thompson, Phi. D. '07. The fact that
Wisconsin is unique among the states
Of this country for meteoric develop
ment and decline Of wheat growing
makes a study Of the causes of the
change of special interest.
The bulletin does not confne itself
entirely to the past, but devotes con-
siderable space to discussion Of the
future of wheat growing in this state,
giving as a reason for the opinion that
there will be no considerable revival
Of the industry in Wisconsin, the fact
that the state offers relatively more
exclusive advantages for dairying than
FOR wheat growing.
Reckless use of the soil in wheat
growing by pioneer farmers, without
any attempt at crop rotation, depleted
fertility and increased the cost of pro-
determinations, and the depression of
the wheat market for many years &C
cented the unfortunate conditions
which led many of the early settlers
to move farther west, where there
were still quantities of rich, new pub
lie lands to be obtained. Many of
those who remained in Wisconsin
were forced to raise other crops than
wheat, in order to renew the fertility
of their farms, or to raise stock, and
later to adopt dairying, which became
the characteristic farm industry of the
state.
clarifying led to the renovation of
the soil, and to greatly increased
values Of land, and these conditions re-
acted still more against the growing of
wheat, until the latter industry has
been almost entirely driven from the
state" the author explains. "Dairy-
ing required the exercise Of far more
discriminating intelligence and unre-
hitting care than the growing of
wheat and afforded much larger
sphere for the application of techni
cal knowledge. The compact organiza-
ton of the dairy farmers, which the co
operative nature of the industry and
the high range of intelligence among
dairymen furthered, afforded another
telling advantage over wheat growing
as a pursuit. Favorable rates for
transportation were secured for dairy
products and a permanent market in
sured by the development of high
grade product of uniform quality. The
tobacco crop played a similar though
far less important part in the displace-
ment of wheat growing in certain sec
tiens of the state, while insect pests
and other causes contributed to thef
same resultsu ~

City Clerk for First Time ia His.
tory of City Publishes List
ofMsn Seeking License
PEOPLE MAY FILE PROTESTS
Old Plan of Furnishing Personal Bonds
Giving Way to New and
Better Scheme of Surety
Company BQRds

City Clerk G. w. Harrington Tues
day published under the new law the
applications of ninety-fve saloon keep
ers in Kenosha who are seeking re-
newal of their licenses for the coming
year. The applications are published
under the new law recently passed by
the state legislature in order to give
the people of the city a chance to file
protests with the Common Council
against the granting of licenses to, any
or all Of the saloon men who have
applied.
It is certain that there will be no
reduction in the number of licenses
asked for this year as an application
has been filed for a license for every
saloon in business during the year just
closing. The workings of the new law
are being watched with a great deal
of interest not only by the saloon men
themselves, but by allipeople who have
takenga an interest in the liquor traffic
and there is no doubt but that the list
of applications will be closely scruti-
nized by the reform organizations of
the city. 1t is stated that protest will
be fled against the issuance of some
of these licenses. These protests will
be referred to the committee on license
Of the Council and that committee viii
render a report to the Council recon-
mending what action shall be taken. 1t
is probable that the Recommendation
of the committee will be followed in
the granting of licenses, but the new
lawwilFJgive to tie committee. al great
er power than4it has had in former
years. In former years the granting
of saloon licenses has been largely
matter of form in WITCH all tat was
necessary was the fling OF an applica-
ton and the payment of the license
fee. This year, however, it is certain
that the character of the applicants
for licenses will be closely scrutinized
by the committee and that an effort
will be made to eliminate all .undesir-
abIes from the list of saloon men in the
city. Already there have been some
changes made as the applications pre-
sented this 9year are not identical with
those of last year. Men who have
been held as eundesirables by members
Of the Council have quietly withdrawn
from5the business and, the bplaces which
they operated have been trsnsferredsto
new Corners before the time for fling
the applications. The straw bondsmen
do not appear in evidence in connection
with the incense applications this year
as majority ofSthe saloon men seek
ing license have secured bonds from a
surety company registered under the
laws of the state. 1t is thought that
within another year the plan of hay
ing personal bonds for saloon licenses
will give way entirely to the plan of
furnishing aasurety bond with the APP
glications. 1t is claimed that the new
form of bond is both cheaper and more
satisfactory to all concerned.

Miss Emma Castle and Mr.. and
Mrs. E. D. Hall Of Chicago
Narrowly Escape Death
AUTO CoLLlDEs WITH BUGGY
Sheriff Gunter Searching the County in
Hopes of Learning Identity Of
Reckless Drivers Who 1a42
Away After AccjdeB5

Miss Emma Castle, one of the best
known young women Of the town Of
Bristol, and her guests, Mr.. and Mrs.
=. d. Hall of Englewood, ILL.,, met very
serious injury late Tuesday evening
when the buggy in which they were
driving was run into by an automobile
driven, it is supposed, by Chicago
parties. The buggy was overturned
and the occupants thrown into ditch
along the road and the horse ran away.
Miss Castle, the most seriously injured
member of the party, remained uncon-
Bcious for more than two hours and is
now confined to her bed suffering from
intense bruises and from the shock of
the accident Nh and Mrs. hall were
both picked up unconscious and while
they were terribly bruised they escap-
ed without any broken bones and are
not confined to their beds
The accident occurred on the Geneva
Road at a point short distance west
of the Castle home just after eight
O'Clock Tuesday evening. Miss Castle
and her guests had been out for visit
during The day and were returning to
the Castle home when the accident oc-
CURED. The auto was a large touring
car containing two men and it came
from the east with a great burst of
speed The occupants of the buggy
saw the machine coming and made an
effect to pull to the side of the road
in order to avoid collision, but the
men ia charge Of the car made no effort
to turn out, notwithstanding the fact
that there was an abundance of room
on their side of the roadway. Run
Ming at q furious speed the auto and
the side of ae buggy met in collision,
but the buggy was broken into kindling
wood and the occupants thrown into
the ditch at the side of the road The
horse started to run and was itself
badly hurt before it was caught.
Miss Castle and Mr.. and Mrs. Hall
lay in the ditch for some time before
they were discovered and then they
were picked up and taken to the Castle
home and doctors were called from
Bristol to attend them. Members of
the Castle family at once notified
Sheriff Gunter of the collision and ask
ed that the men driving the automo-
bile be apprehended and arrested.
Sheriff Gunter has managed to get a
clue to the men in the car as before
the accident it is claimed that they
stopped at the tavern and said that
they were from Lake Geneva. Not
withstanding this fact the sheriff be-
ieves that the men were from Chica-
60. The story told by the injured
people shows that the men had abso-
lutely no thought for the injured peo-
pie and that their only thought was
to escape detection. After the buggy
had been struck by the automobile the
men made no effort to stop the car,
but increased their speed and made
good their escape. Tt is impossible to
tell at this time the extent of the in
juries of MISS Castle, but it is certain
that the shock of the collision will Law
her up for some time.

Peter Gales Puts Up Hard Fight
Against Charges Preferred
by Civic Federation
HECKER is HELD FOR TRIAL
Valves Examination and Will Answer
Charges Brought Against Him at
the Term of the Num-
cipal Court

The Municipal Court was kept busy
all day Wednesday with eases in.
stigated by the Kenosha Civic Fedora
ton, as the preliminary hearings Of
Peter GALES, arrested on double
charge Of leasing room for gambling
purposes and having a slot machine in
operation in his saloon, and that of
Paul Hecker, charged with keeping a
gambling house, were called this morn
ing.
The Hecker case was disposed of in
short order as Hecker appeared in
court and waived examination and was
held for trial at the July term of the
Municipal Court under bonds Of 5000.
He promptly furnished bonds and was
discharged. A large number of wit
nesses had been called to testify in the
case, but not one of them took the
witness stand.
When the Gales case was called the
court first took up the charge of le9s-
ing the room for gambling purposes
and on this charge the attorneys for
GALES ma lie their fight. 1t is under
stood that the strength of the Fedora
ton is to be tested in this case. GALES
through his attorney put in plea Of
not guilty and declared that he had
never leased the room to any one for
any purpose which could be considered
illegal and that the only time that the
room had been let was when it was
let to an Athletic Club to be used as
club room and for the training of
boxers.
There was nothing new brought out
in the evidence as presented, it being
along the same lines as in former hear
ings. All Of the witnesses, however,
were very careful to avoid anything
which might have the appearance of
perjury and they fought shy of making
any responses which might be construed
as leading up to later examination
into their own cases. The district at
torney declared that it was not neces-
sary to show that the room was leased
to any certain person, but that all that
was necessary to hold GALES for trial
was to show that it had been used for
gambling purposes with his consent.
No lease Of formal nature was pre-
sented and there was no evidence to
show an agreement between GALES and
any other person for the use Of the
room. It is probable that the hearing
in this first case against Gales will
not be completed until late this after
noon and that the hearing Of the slot
machine charge will not come up until
tomorrow.
Members of the fraternity interest
ed in the defense of GALES claim that
the hearing Of these cases is going to
open the way for general ''bust up"
in the city which will put in motion a
movement for the strict enforcement Of
every law on the statute books of the
state so far as Kenosha is concerned,
but the Federation leaders seem to be
willing to have this movement started
and they declare that they will fight
both cases to the bitter end.
