VIM. Vandiver, a farmer near Murphy,
killed five 1~3-month-old hogs, from which
he got 1884 pounds of pork and 169
pounds of lard, the average weight of the
five hogs being 2o6 pounds after the lard
was taken out. Just after Christmas
Mr.. Vandiver killed a pig that weighed
net 3S9 pounds. Mr.. Vandiver says his
meat from these hogs will not cost him
owe S cents per pound, and that the idea
that it costs a man more to raise his
meat than it does to buy it is all bosh,
as he has tried both.

Southbound passenger train No. 1, sec

hatchie, a station about four miles south
of Sardis. The engine turned upside down
and the coaches, all except two, turned
on their sides against a high embank
ment, which kept them from turning
completely over, and this no doubt saved
many lives. Five persons were slightly
injured, Engineer Greer being the one
most seriously hurt. He had his foot
badly crushed.

Wisconsin's Tribute to Sons
Who Fought at Vicksburg
Soon to Be Erected
SELECTED A FAVORABLE SITE

Foundations all are in place and the
work Of erecting on the battlefield at
Vicksburg, Miss, the magnificent
100000 monument to Wisconsin S sons
in that campaign has begun.
This announcement, of such interest
to Wisconsin Civil war veterans, comes
from w. H. Harrison, Harrison Granite
Company, New York city, who designed
the monument and is in entire charge
of the erection work.
The great shaft is completed, except
for the bronze which will adorn it.
These bronzes, including inscription
plates and several figures, are now be-
ing cast by the Roman Bronze Works,
Brooklyn, N. Y, and soon will be
finished.
Wisconsin S monument to her heroes,
who took part in that great siege, will
be the loftiest and one of the most
imposing on the battlefield. 1t will
consist of a Greek doric shaft 140 feet
in height, surmounted by a correct
bronze of cold Abe" the war eagle of
the Iron brigade.
The site of the shaft is a particularly
favorable one-a knoll from the sum-
nit of which were visible during the
siege the entire federal and Confeder-
ate lines. In the Immediate vicinity
of this knoll three Wisconsin regiments
were in action and made many charge
over it.
On the bronze inscriptionsfto be plac-
ed upon the granite parapet surround
ing the shaft will be the name of every
| Wisconsin soldier who took part in the
Vicksburg campaign. This means
that the tablets will bear 9,059 names.
The monument will be dedicated on
May % of this year, the anniversary of
the fall of Vicksburg before Grant.
Arrangements are now being made to
handle the crowds

Receivers of G. & NJ. Seek to
Prevent Annuling of Fran
chise at Lake Forest
CLAIM FUNDS ARE LACKING

The receivers of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric Railway Company
appealed to Judge Grosscup in the
United States court in Chicago today
for the issuance of an injunction to
prevent the common council of the city
of Lake Forest from annuling the
operated through that city declaring
that the Lake Forest officials are max
ing an effort to tie up the operation
of the line without warrant. The
council at Lake Forest has passed a
resolution to annul the franchise on
the grounds that the company has not
carried out all of the agreements made
by A. C. Frost at the time the fran
chise for the line was granted many
years ago.
The original agreement between
Frost and the city of Lake Forest pro-
vided for street paving and other i'm
provemetns to the value of 100000.
The receivers of the company declare
that at the present time they have no
funds to make these improvements and
that if the receivers are forced to do
this work it might result in the opera
ton of the road being interfered with.
Judge Grosscup at the preliminary
hearing of the complaint for injunc
ton on Wednesday urged the contest
ing parties to seek to make an agree
ment out of court but if no agreement
is reached it is thought that the in
junction will be issued.

ZION BOY RUNS AWAY
Boy Who Was Refused Hair Cut Runs
Away From Zion City

Because his father, who is a fanatic
on the belief that the human strength
is in the hair like it was in Samson s,
would not let him either shave his face
Bieren has again run away from the
home in Zion City.
Some time last week the young man
ran away from the home and was
found in Chicago, whence officers
brought him back. Yesterday near
10 o clock he ran away again and the
Zion police have sent out a general
alarm that he be captured and brought
back.
The father s beliefs are those of the
late John Alexander Dowie, who in
sisted on long boards and hair among
his followers.
Before Christmas friend mailed a
Zion City man box of cigars. It is
alleged that the local agent, telling
what was in the package by the odor,
deliberately kept the cigars in the
Zion Office of the American Express
Company until yesterday when they
were delivered, dried up and useless.
1t is charged that in the same fash
ion a package of whiskey in a plain
and unsealed form was delivered to
the addressee by the company, but
that the agent or his representative
served notice on the addressee that
he would report him to the govern
ment for shipping whiskey into drv
territory the next time such a package
came
It is also reported that the agent
resorted to trick to get the name of
the firm that sent the goods.

The bill Introduced into the house of
representatives on Monday by Repre-
sentative Kuestermann providing for
the purchase of powerful dredge for
use on this shore of the lake should
have all the support from this city that
can be given it. The machine provid-
ed for in the bill of the Wisconsin con
gresham is just such one as has been
in successful operation on the other
side of the lake for some time and the
plan for the purchase of a dredge has
the endorsement of the government en-
gineers. The purchase of this dredge
by the government will undoubtedly
meet with powerful opposition from
all the dredging companies on the
lakes which have enjoyed profitable
government dredging contracts for
years and it is likely to be sidetracked
unless the cities which will be benefit
ed take the matter up with their
representatives, and show plainly that
they want it.

The Milk Producers Association to
which most of the Kenosha county
farmers who supply milk to the Chi
cago market belong is receiving aid
from outside sources that promises to
make the association powerful enough
to wage successful fight against the
so-called milk trust. AT present the
association is formed of milk produc-
ers in Northern Illinois and Southern
Wisconsin, but applications from other
districts to join the association are be-
ing made in such numbers that the
officials of the association are hopeful
that it will be possible to organize all
OF the districts supplying that market
into one association and if that can be
done the association viii have better
prospects in its proposed battle with
the dealers than it ever has had before.

The milk producers of the Chicago
district Wednesday declared war on
the milk trust and planned retaliatory
measures, that probably will act as q
check, if not entirely an offset, to the
ultimatum Of the big bottling plants
on summer contracts.
In consequence, from twenty to thir
ty-fve creameries and cheese factories
are expected to be established in this
section. One will be established al
each point where there is bottling
plant before March Is, contract signing
day. If the Borden prices are not to
the farmers liking and the co-opera
tive plants are running the latter will
get the entire output and the bottlers
nothing.
On the other hand, if the trust firms
yield to the demand for higher rates
to the producers, the creameries and
cheese factories will be able to utilize
the surplus milk product.
High prices were the keynote of the
meeting so the consumers of cent
milk can extract small comfort there.
from, 1t was indicated that an in
crease of 10 per cent an eight gallon
can and 10 cents per 100 pounds tc
the bottlers would be likely.
The consensus of opinion among the
directors of the Milk Producers Pro
tective Association, who constituted
the meeting in the Ashland Block, in
Chicago, was that 1910 will see higher
prices for all sorts of dairy products
Clutter will be higher than fol
twenty years. said c. H. Potter OF
Elgin, "and it will undoubtedly sell
for zoe pound by May and June.
The establishment by the association
of central depots in Chicago for di
rect distribution of milk to consumers
was placed i'll the hands of the milk
board, consisting of G. Fl. Potter, Ell
gin; w. A. Goodwin, Crystal Lake, an(
Raw Paddock, Round Lake, ILL.,; G. E
Williams, Genoa Junction, Wis; anC
William n Osborne, Wanatah, Ind.
with instructions to report at the annu
al meeting on Feb. 7.
The national convention of milk pro
ducers will be held in connection with
the annual meeting of the association
on Feb Z, and Secretary James P
Grier was instructed to invite S3ecre
tary of Agriculture James Wilson
former Gov. Hoard Of Wisconsin, anC
Gov, Warner Of Michigan TO be present
and address the delegates.
The producers are planning a rally
campaign in Northern Illinois and In
diana and Southern Wisconsin an(
Michigan to enlarge the association ,,
membership for the fight against tn,

producers demands last spring, wha
they received at the hands of the bot

GET MANY People TO SIGN
Men Who Sign the Petition Declare
That They Will Fight With the Bal
lot Any Effort to Curtail Liberties
of the People.

! The Liberty League, an organization
backed by the liquor interests, is in
vading 'Kenosha and many petitions are
being circulated in the city today to
secure signatures Of people who are
willing to enroll themselves as mem
bers of the league which has recently
opened headquarters in Milwaukee and
which has organizations in many of
the states of the union. There is no
fee charged to the members of the
! league.
The petitions have been sent to Ke-
nosha from the Milwaukee Offices of
the league and it is stated that the
various chapters of the league are be-
pose of ascertaining the strength of the
"dry" wave that is said to be sweep
ing over Wisconsin. Coming as they
do within a few days after the an
nouncement that no-license campaigns
were to be instituted in Kenosha and
other places in the county it is evil
dent that the men who are opposed to
the prohibition movement desire to get
as many people as possible on record
before the petitions of the antfsaloon
men are placed in circulation. The pc
titions have been placed in stores, no.
tells and in many other business places
and an effort will be made to have
them circulated in the factories of the
city
The men who are working in favor
of "dry Kenosha" have not as yet
sent out their petitions and it is GER
tain that the opponents of any move
to curb the saloon have stolen march
on them and hundreds of people have
already gone on record by signing the
lpetitions of the Liberty League. In
the petitions it is strictly stated that
the signers will contest with the ballot
any effort to interfere with the liberties
Of the people. The men who are cir
culating the petitions have Of course
made early visits to the politicians of
the city and they are demanding that
candidates for office sign the petitions
as members of the league Several
men who have been mentioned for of
fee have already signed the petitions,
but it is expected that some of them
will also sign the petitions for the no.
license campaign. The petitions as
rapidly as they are signed are being
forwarded to the offices of the league
in Milwaukee and in this manner a
great mailing list is being made which
will later be used to send out the liter
allure in the fight for license The men
circulating the petitions declare that
they expect to get several thousand
signatures in Kenosha and an examina-
ton of the petitions shows that they
have been signed by many well known
business men.
It is expected that the petitions ask
ing for no-hcense campaign will be
started in circulation within the next
ten days and with the circulation of
the two sets of petitions in Kenosha
the battle against the saloon will be
on in earnest.

NAME OF PLANT KEPT SECRET
Managers However Declare That They
are Favorably Impressed With Ke-
nosha and That a Proposition May
be Made to the City.

George Bonnell, George Likes and
John Deems officials of Chicago man
ufacturirg concern came to Kenosha
on Wednesday to look over Kenosha
with view of locating plant of the
company represented by the men in this
city. The party was met by Mayor
Scholey and during the day every por
ton of the city was visited and sew
eral sites available for factory pur-
poses were shown to the visitors. Ac-
companying the mayor were a number
of the members of the common council.
The men were not ready to give out
any large amount of facts in regard
to the plant which they proposed to
bring to Kenosha, but it was stated
that full statement in regard to the
company and the proposed plant would
be given out before the meeting of the
common council on next Monday even
ing at which time it is expected that
the committee will make some report.
In speaking Of the matter this morn
ing Mayor Scholey said: ''These men
are not DESTROYS of having the facts
in regard to their business made known
at the present time and should the
name of the company and the nature
of the business be revealed it might
interfere with the location of the plant
in Kenosha. The men however mean
business and they have given us an
assurance that should Kenosha be Sc
lected as a site for their plant they
would build a plant which would en-
ploy 300 men when it is opened and
that the business would be largely in
creased later. They have talked frank
ly with the committee in regard to
their plans and we believe that it
would be good thing for the city of
Kenosha to make a special effort to
secure the location Of the plant here.
The managers of the company have
as yet not made terms on which they
will locate in Kenosha but they ex-
pressed themselves as very favorably
impressed with the city and agreed to
make some formal proposition to me
within a few days"
The committee is also planning to
entertain the officials of the Municipal
Engineering Company of Winthrop
Harbor within the next few days and
the Mayor is hopeful that this plant
eau be located in Kenosha. The own
ers of the property in North Kenosha
which was originally laid out for fac
tory sites seem to be willing to meet
any company half way and there is lit
tie doubt but that site could be Sc
cured for any reputable plant on very
advantageous terms. 1t is not thought
however, that the city would be willing
to offer any cash bonus to locate plant
in the city.
The vast growth of the present in
dustries Of the city each year amounts
to more than the location of several
new plants here but the committee
will leave no stone unturned to get
the new companies if they can show
that the city will be benefited by their
coming.
