Officers Of Soldiers Home at Mil.
Waukee Seek To Locate ReIa-
tives Of Civil War Veterans
SEEK TO OBTAIN ESTATES
Property of Deceased Inmates of the
Home Being Kept by the United
States Government
Where Possible

Residents Of Kenosha county, who
have relatives in the Soldiers home
at Milwaukee will be greatly interest
ed in the fight being made between
the United States government and
the county Of Milwaukee over the
disposition of property left by deceas-
ed inmates of the Soldiers home.
The authorities at the Soldiers
home in Milwaukee have steadfastly
refused to give the public admins
traitor the names of inmates who die,
and Public Administrator Rolin B.
Mallory Of Milwaukee, secured from
Judge Carpenter a citation to Gov.
Cornelius Wheeler of the home, requir-
ing him to show cause on April 6 why
he should not be compelled TO furnish
the public administrator with the de-
sired information.
The home officials have claimed that
they have the righO to dispose of the
estates Of inmates in their own way.
They have refused to give the names
Of inmates who die to the public ad-
ministrator, but have allowed him to
administer without opposition the es-
tates Of inmates whose names he has
secured.
The government s manner of admin
istering the estates of inmates is radi-
cally different from that of the coun-
ty. One difference is in the division
of an estate where there are minor
children and children that are of age.
The state divides the property equally
among them if there is no will, while
the government gives all the property
to the minor children
The government does not make any
effort to locate the relatives Of de-
ceased inmates who leave property,
but merely takes care of it until a
claimant appears In one case the sum
Of 81 600 which was in the safe at the
home to the credit of one Of the in
mates lay there fifteen years after
his death, Mr.. Mallory claims in his
petition.
The county provides for the admin
istration of the estates of persons
who die without heirs to administer
the estate by the maintenance Of the
public administrator. He locates re-
latives of the deceased and turns
over to them what remains after the
expenses of administration are paid
If no heirs are found, the property
is turned over to the orphans fund,
which is divided among the orphan
asylums of the county. All the judges
of the county constitute the trustees
Of the fund.
The refusal of the home officials
to give the public administrator in
formation has been the cause of many
classes in the past, and the matter
is now to be brought to an issue to
determine the respective right of
both parties.

CHICAGO Horse Market.

Chicago, July 15.-Horse trade is
showing surprising strength for July
market this week. Big, strong horses
are in urgent demand. but 4-year-olds
must be rugged. Eastern dealers are
competing for good work horses and
big feeders are active Small chunks
are quiet, and only good drivers are
wanted.
Drafters are in strong demand at
S220@30O to prime to extra weight and
finished offerings, with palmer grades
moving at s1S0@210. Farm chunks,
aged and blemished offerings are very
quiet at prices that make the shippers
no profit. Small southern chunks are
dull at standstill prices, but with sales
at s70G90, with the general range at
s60@110. Good drivers met steady
inquiry from eastern dealers at $1,000
$50, with bulk of sales at s175@2 25,
while WELL hammered lots cleared at
s25OGS00 and upward.

CHANCE FOR MORAL LESSON.

That Such a Thing Was in De-

A New Yorker tells this story of
South Carolina meeting he once at
tended.
"At the end of this meeting it was
decided to take up collection for
charity. The chairman passed the
hat himself. He dropped a dime in
it for a nest egg.
Well, gentlemen, every right hand
there entered that hat-every right
hand-and yet, at the end. when the
chairman turned the hat over and
shook it not so much as his own
contribution dropped out.
"Fo' de lan's sake!" he cried. Abs
eben los de dime All stahted wiv!"
"All the rows Of faces looked puz-
zled. Who was the lucky man? That
was the question which tormented all.
Finally the venerable Calhoun White
summed up the situation.

ing from his seat, 'dar pears ter be a

HID BAD TEETH OF EMPRESS
Origin Of the Lace Handkerchief AZ.
cribed to Vanity Of First
Napoleon's Consort.

One OF the strangest facts illustrating
the vanity of woman is that the lace
handkerchief owed it's introduction to
the Empress Josephine's bad teeth. 10
sephine's vanity is no new subject
with historians, who as a group, how.
ever, neglect the care with which she
kept the world from observing that
her teeth were neither ornamental nor
useful. 1t is with Josephine's vanity
as 1t was manifested toward Napoleon
that historians are concerned, not
with her instructive care for her own
appearance. She never laughed except
from behind the cover of lace hand.
kerchief. 1t was a trick the meaning
OF which was known to every woman
in France, yet so contradictory Is
feminine nature that 1t took short
time for women of all degrees to give
themselves to imitation. Whether
possessed of good teeth or bad, the
French woman in Josephine's golden
days always pressed a handkerchief
to her lips when she laughed, and be-
cause lace handkerchiefs were Jo-
sephine's pride they came into gen.
eral use. There has been a change
since Josephine's time, however, for
now the rule is to show a handker-
chief as little as possible. Even the
daintiest linen and lace specimens are
to be held from view.

Chicago, July 15.-Cattle were strong

No prime steers We're offered. Year
lings were in active demand, but very
scarce. Heavy dry fed cows were 10

impossible.
Twelve loads of range steers were
received from Wyoming yesterday be-
ing the first offerings from the range
districts this season They did not
possess the attractive quality shown by
the first consignment of rangers here
last year, and had to sell at big dis
count from the prices secured for the
initial consignment year ago. Out of
the tweleve loads there were ia head,
weighing an average of 1,0S4 pounds,
TO sell at s5.45, while seventy head,
ranging in weight from 1000 to LOO
pounds. sold at $500. Last year the
first range steers here sold at $50,
that price being paid for 1886 head,
averaging 1922 to 1921 pounds, from
Montana.
The receipts of Wyoming rangers
are not expected to mark the actual
opening of the western range season,
and traders do not look for more than
an occasional load to come forward
during the next three weeks. 1t is
figured that the western season is
backward about four weeks and Tor
that reason rangers will not come in
large numbers until about the middle
of August.
Hogs.
Hogs closed firm with all the early
advance of 10d15 retained. The en-
tire supply was taken, with the excep-
ton of a few common sorts. 1t was he
best cleanup of the weak. Prime hogs
topped s.35. the high point of rne
season, and the highest price ever paid
on this market during the month OF
July.
Hogs are coming to market in worse
condition each succeeding week. The
grower has assumed the not illogical
position that he is money in pocket
by marketing a common hog at s765
than feeding him corn until he carries
IS quality. Packers are not disposed
to pay premium for quality and the
country has no inducement to make it.
The result is that a lot of inferior
shrinl5y' meat is going into cure. Az
erage weight figures will be deceptive
from now on as thin sows are moving
freely and a big, ragged SOW never was
a good hog.
