Meousky Independent.

Several steam breaking outfits
have pulled out of town the past
couple Of weeks and from reports
received they are having better
success than any previous season
which means there will be a larger
acreage here by one third than
last year.
A. McC lusky reported having f.
nished sowing wheat Tuesday Of
this week. Mr.. McClusky has
sowed 26O acres Of wheat besides
other grain since he arrived from
Iowa a short time ago. That's
going some and shows what a
man can do if he prepares for i
in the fall.

Besides getting board and lodg-
ing, he is getting his family sup
ported by the county, without
himself doing a "stroke of work.,
outside of carrying wood and
water for the sheriff. It is almost
an inducement for any man to go
to "pigging", and speaks not very
favorably of our prohibition laws.
By the way, is prohibition doing
the state any good? Isn't it about
time to alter the laws on this
subject?

A woman who has made a great

her income would be increased
three OF four times and she would
have a far easier life.

AIRSHIP MONEY ALL
TO MAKE NO MORE
APPROPRIATIONS.
Nothing VIII Be Asked of Congress This
Year Because Uncle Sam Must
Be Economical.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 22.-The
United States is not likely to make
great progress in aerial navigation dur
ing the next fiscal wear as Il result Of
any encouragement offered inventors by
Congress. The spirit of economy in gov
ernmental affairs is now 50 pronounced
as to discourage even the asking for
funds by the war department for the
purchase of any class of airships.
Last year Gen. Allen. chief signal of
fcer, advocated an appropriation Of half
a million dollars for experimental work
and he succeeded in not only having that
estimate sent to Congress by the war de-
partment, but i'll having it favOrably act
ed on by the committee on the whole of
the House, only to have it meet defeat
when the appropriation bill was passed
by the House itself. This year there is
such close pairing of all estimates that
1t Is not likely that any money will even
be asked for this purpose.
The board of ordnance of The army
now has $4,000 for airship experiments,
$4,000 to be paid to the Wright broth
ers if they succeed in making flight of
10 miles at the rate of 80 miles an hour,
carrying one passenger besides the oper-
ator and $4,000 TO \. NJ Herring if he
meets practically similar requirements.
This will be the end of experimental
work unless some interest i'll aerial nav
igatiOn is shown by Congress iii the
form of a liberal appropriation.

Missing Kenosha Lawyer Believed to

KENOSHA, Wis, July 22.-Was Jo-
seph +. Clarkson, former judge of Ike
nosha, Wis, who disappeared mystic
riously just week ago and for whom
the police authorities of a dozen towns
and cities are searching in Kenosha on
Sunday night? Did he elude the dozen
searching parties and return to his office
in the Meyer block on one of the prin-
cipal streets?
1t became known last night that late
on Sunday or early on Monday morning
the private office of former Judge Clark
son was entered by forcing a seldom
used side door. Nothing in the Office ap-
peared to have been disturbed, but tell
tale marks on the frame of the door
showed that it had been forced open
and that some one had been in the office
The stenographer in charge has known

SCORES UTILITY LAW.
A. L. Hougen Tells Municipal Leagues 1t
Interferes with Local Rule.

MANITOWOC, Wis, July 22.-[Spe-
cial. THAT the public utility law is a
detriment to municipalities of the state
for the reason that cities have ample
power to regulate utilities, and the util-
ity law takes away this authority. the
consumer is forced to pay the maximum
price for minimum service, the working
of the commission are theoretical slow
and inconvenient; the commission inter
feres with legislation, attempts to and
does dictate legislation against interests
of the public; and because the regulation
of public utilities should be local mat
ter, was the argument of City Attorney
4. L. Hougen of this city in a paper
before the Municipal league at Mari
nette today. Mr.. Hougen contended for
home regulation of water, light and gas
plants, declaring that cities could bet
ter serve their own people than a com
