ingly, Gov. Dodge was induced to Wis.,
it the portage and inveigle two or
three chiefs into trip to Washing
ton. He sent for Yellow Thunder and
two younger chiefs to meet him at the
fort. In the most plausible manner
at his command, he proposed to the
war chief trip to Washington to see
the Great Father. "What fora
treaty." asked the honest chief. Dodge
dodged the question and explained
that one so strong in influence with
his people ought also to know the
president of the United States. He
finally induced Yellow Thunder to
make the trip on condition that Mrs.
Thunder should accompany him. Two
hereditary young chiefs went also. The
books of the period are full of the an
tics of this thrifty dame; at any event,
these books all agree on the one propo-
sition that this daughter of the forest
made great strides in acquiring know
ledge in what had thentofore been the
exclusive property of the whites-the
gentle, insinuating art of graft. Even
after that trip she was known to Indi-
ans and whites alike, within the cir
cumference Of her acquaintance, as
Mrs. Washington-Mrs. Washington
Thunder. These guileless people were
carried to Washington by a rather cir
cuitous route, so as to be impressed
| with the strength and power of the
whites; they were shown some dis
tinction in the large cities, and for a
time Jared sumptuously levery day in
the capital city. But at the proper
moment it was suggested that the

of acres were involved, practically the

At this Yellow Thunder pleaded the
truthful inability of war chief to
sign other treaties than that of peace
and there was no war. The two young
chieftains had no power, for both theil
fathers were living, and they were
chiefs in embryo-they had not come
into authority. But these arguments
did not stand; constituents of politica
officials wanted the land, and any SORT
of title would do them; the govern
ment had strong arm with which
to enforce any kind of pretext. Tht
poor Indians were kept there fo
weeks, daily harassed, and finally

f. A. Mauk was found dead in his
bed at 469 Lynn street this morning
by Charles Bender and his cement
crew. The Odor was so strongly
offensive yesterday and today that an
investigation as to it's cause was made.
Mr.. Bender and his son, Charles, look
ed around the premises in the region
where they were working and finally
located their Investigations at 469, one
of the buildings in front sof which
the crew were working and where
Mrs. German was burned to death
more than year ago. The discovery
was made by breaking open window.
Officers Stone and Buckley were
summoned besides jury with Justice
AdOlph andre and the remains were
viewed.
The last that Mr.. Mauk was seen
was on Monday when he worked at
the round house wiping engines. 1t
is supposed that he died Monday night.
He had had one stroke of paralysis
some time ago which left him lame
and that possibly caused his death.
He called at the offices of Drs. Cahcon
and English on Saturday.
The building was locked and all of
windows were tightly closed.
The jury summoned to hold the in
quest In Justice Andro's office this
evening is composed of Charles GOette,
Dewitt Anderson, Thomas Burton,
Nate Owens, Joseph Wohlfahrt, and
Charles Bender.
Besides his wife and several small
children in T. icago the deceased is
survived by daughter, Mrs Harry
James, Chicago; another daughter,
Mrs. Everett Billings, Benton, Wis;
and also son, Archie Mauk also OF
Benton. He was 55 years of age.
Some time ago it was reported that
Mr.. Mauk had been run over by
train at Lacrosse, but when his son
arrived there it was found that the
man killed was some one else.
Mr.. Mauk had an outfit and horse
for peddling. His horse died some
time ago and his other property and
clothes were in the care of fSherifGrant
Dryer. A few days ago he got his
clothing from the sheriff. For time
last winter he was in the charge of the
county in Reedsburg.
He had about $50 due .rom theNorth-
western for his services at the round
house.

STATISTICS ON cREAMER1Es
Borden Condensing Co. Reports Great
Business for the Last Year

\
County Clerk Russell H. Jones has
forwarded to the secretary of state at
Madison his annual report of the cream
cries IN Kenosha county. The most
interesting feature of the report is the
vast business shown to have been done
by the Borden milk eondensing plant
at Bassett's station. The report
shows that this plant did more than
half as much business as the fourteen
creameries in the county The value
of the creameries is placed at $4,000
and the number of patrons at 61s
During the year the ereameries handled
19,66S,0e4 pounds of milk received from
1910 cows and the value of the product
sold was $271,793.45. The condensing
factory at Genoa Junction is valued
at $4,000 and the number of pounds
of milk received from a total of lilo
cows is given at 100000 pounds
100000 quarts of milk were shipped
from the factory into Chicago and the
value of it is given at $4,000.

STATISTICS SHOW CHANGE
Few Scotch, English and Irish Seek
Naturalization Papers

According to the naturalization
records of Circuit Court clerks in the
state, the number of foreign born
Scotch, English and Irish who apply
for their rights as United States citi
zens has dwindled to two or three of
each a year as compared with as many
as fifty year ago.
The records show that the natives of
the old sods are not immigrating to
Wisconsin in the number which they
used to, but in their places are com
ing Italians, Greeks, Lithuanians, Hun
garians and other people from the con-
tinent.
1t is also shown that the per cent of
the Scotch, English and Irish who be-
come naturalized is very large, while
but very small per cent of the
present immigrants who are thronging
here from the continent ever seek to
become citizens. The islanders in most
cases apply for their naturalization
papers as soon as they have been here
long enough to take them out, while
the others wait for a number of years

THOMPSON HAS A CHANCE
Kenosha Man Notified That He May
Yet Get Farm at Flat Head


Roy H. Thompson is another one of
the Kenosha men who may take to
farming later in life as he received
notice from the government land office
on Friday that there may be a farm
awaiting him in the Flat Head Indian
agency. Thompson did not draw with
in the 5000 first names, but he was. SO
close to the 5000 mark that should
any Of the lucky drawers fail to claim
their farm he will come in for slice
of the government land. Mr.. Thomp-
son went west with Fred Rice, Fred
Schroeder and City Engineer R. H.
Moth and it was mutually agreed
among the men that they would pool
their chances of winning so that all
four of the Kenosha men are interest
ed in the chance Of Thompson to get
in on the division of the land AS
the farms given to the men around the
500 mark will be mostly valuable as
grazing land the Kenosha men are not
losing a great deal of sleep arrang-
ing plans for a start for the west.

Pres. Burt of the Wisconsin
Telephone Co. Talks ON
Good Roads
HOW FARMERS MAKE ROADS

ssThe country roads in a large part
of Wisconsin are abominable, and
they are an outrage upon the state, -
emphatieally declared Alonzo Burt,
president of the Wisconsin Telephone
Company, who returned from week IS
tour of the northern sections of the
state in an automobile.
~ say this advisedly," continued
Mr.. Burt, because I have travelled in
my automobile pretty much over the
state, and with the exception of a
piece of country road about six miles
out of Green Bay, there is not piece
of country road in Wisconsin that is
worth the consideration of terming it
fair.
"NoW, mind you, / say this as an
automobile owner and driver, and con-
sequently the farmers will say, ooh,
what he wants is smooth road for
his machine, for which he pays no
taxes. In answer to this am will
ing to go on record as saying that, in
order to secure and maintain good
country roads | am perfectly willing
that the state pass a law compelling
EVERY owner of au automobile, and
every driver of an automobile, to con.
tribute direct tax annually to fund
for good roads in this state. It is, as
| have said, an outrage, and it is a
standing disgrace, that one of the most
picturesque state all in this country,
should be handicapped with the worst
public roads in the whole country. I
have great pride in Wisconsin, because
it is my state; but have no hesitancy
in saying, also, that we are so far be-
hind Europe and certain eastern states,
in the matter of country roads, that the
fact makes Wisconsin man blush for
shame whenever he thinks of it or
passes over some of the roads.
"Under the present old-fashioned
system, a farmer goes out on the pub
lie road; throws few shovelfulls Of
dirt into the center of the road, and
his road tax is cancelled. The first
automobile that comes along lifts all
the dirt he put in out and scatters it
for a mile. And the hole the farmer
filed is still there. Now, I fully
understood the feeling on the part of
farmers against the automobile; but
there is common ground on whica
they can meet and where they can both
secure results. That is to ask the
state for a direct taxation for public
roads, in which the citizens all pay
tribute and every automobile owner or
user pays proportion. dare say
that Of the $500 automobile owners
now in Wisconsin not ten can be found
who will declare against such a taxa
tion, providing it will insure good
roads throughout the state.'
