]. M. SMITH IS NOT TO BE FOOL
ED BY HOBOES.
From Thursdays Daily.

}. NJ. Smith, who is experimenting,
the construction work Oh the dam at
Rapidan, yesterday showed that he is
made of the right stuff. Tuesday,
three men applied for work, and were
engaged as laborers, but said that
they would not so to work until yes
terday morning. They were lodged and
given their meals, and after break
fast yesterday they struck off over the
hill, instead of going to work.
Superintendent Smith did not learn
of their leaving until half or three
quarters of an hour after they had
gone, and then he took his saddle
horse and started after them at "a
galIop. He traced them Through Rapi-
dan, where he learned that they had
taken the main road. He pursued
them along this and OH to a cross
road, until finally he caught sight of
them. They had evidently found out
that they were being followed, for
they were running toward the rail
road tracks as fast as they could
go. Mr.. Smith spurred up his horse
and rode to the next cross road and
headed them off Oh the track. Then
he rode his horse on the track and
drove the three fellows back to the
camp.
On arriving at the camp, Mr.. Smith
ordered the men to go to work load
ing stone, but they refused to do So.
He then dismounted and pulled his
coat and waded into them, and when
he was through with them he had
them trimmed up to the queens
taste. They were ready to work OF
to do anything else, and he set them
at loading stone. When they had
worked enough to pay for their board
and lodging he let them go.
In speaking of the matter today,
Mr.. Smith said: 81 have not been
at this work for twenty five years for
nothing, and fellows of this class will
have to go some if they get ahead of
jumping their board bill, and got only
what was coming to them"

Mrs. Sarah +. Abbott.

With the passing of Mrs. Abbott,
who died November 81, after brief
illness from disease of the heart,
Skowhegan loses another of its older
and we'll beloved ladies. She was
born in Norridgewock SO years ago
and was the daughter of John and
Betsy Ware Bosworth. In her young
girlhood the family moved to Show
hegan where she attended the old
Bloomfield academy, and afterwards
taught in the public schools. Forty
five years ago she was married to
William Abbott, with whom she lived
until his death in 1887. Since this
time her home has been in Skowhe-
gan, with the exception of several
seasons spent in the family of her
only son in Hyde Park, Mass. This
son, William NJ. Abbott recently
moved to Northampton, where it was
join him. Mrs. Abbott possessed
character in which strength of prin
ciple and kindly charity were well
combined. She had been for several
years member of the Island Avenue
Congregational church, and as long as
health permitted was regular at
tendant, always showing the liyeliest
interest in the work and worship.
Even amid growing infirmites her
cheerful life and lofty faith were
continual inspiration to her friends,
and she will be mourned as one who
has helped to make the true life more
attractive and beautiful.

confession had made possible the con-

In his statement to the court Borrow

were taken from the plant and sold to

All Of the members Of the Cemetery

All Of the members of the Cemetery
Association and all Of the people OF the
city who are in any way interested IN
its success will regret the retirement
of G.. III. Gonnermann from office as
president Of the association. Mr.. Con
hermann has served as president Of the
association since it's organization four
years ago and has devoted much OF his
time during these years to the exacting
duties of the position. He has been
intensely interested in the success OF
the movement to give the city an organ
ization which would insure the proper
care of the cemetery for all time from
the beginning and was instrumental IN
working up the sentiment in favor of
the association among the lot owners in
the cemetery. IT is not too much to say
that the splendid showing made in the
reports submitted at the meeting Sat
urday night was due in a large measure
to his individual labors and ali of the
members of the association appreciate
that fact and feel that all interested in
the cemetery owe him a debt of graft
tude for his work in their behalf.

One of the matters which should be
taken up and given very careful con-
sideration by the Kenosha Industrial
association at its meetings this winter
is the problem of securing better means
Of communication between this city and
the western part of the county. The
project Of building an electric line be-
tween Kenosha and the rich farming
districts to the west of the city, has
been discussed time and again in the
past few years but has always fallen
through for some reason or another,
principally because the would-be in
vestors have received little or no en-
couragement from the city in the way.

The big increase in the number of
insane cases being heard in the county
court in the past few weeks and in
the commitments of patients to the diff
ferent asylums where they will be a
charge on the county is giving the Off
cials of the county some concern: 1t
may be only that conditions have been
unusually unfavorable of late for per-
sons with tendency towards insanity,
developing a number of cases all at
once that would have been brought to
the attention of the court at intervals
in the future, and that the report for
the year will show only a normal in
crease in the number of eases following
increases in the population of the
county, but should the present rate of
commitments keep up for any length
of time the burden of caring for the
dependent patients in state institu-
tions would be very much heavier in
the future than it has been in the past.

do something they may have the hui
initiation Of seeing the trade of the
western and central portions of the
county furnished with better transpor-
tation facilities for reaching either
Waukegan CT Racine than it has for
getting into Kenosha where it properly
belongs. Another thing that makes it
important that this matter be taken
up in earnest by the business men Of
Kenosha is the fact that the first line
built, no matter where its terminus is,
will probably hold the territory cover
ed exclusively for some years. There
is not business for more than one line
and capital will not invest in a second
until there is a big demand for it.

court practically banished him from the
municipal court
For years Borowsky had been a
leader among the foreigners and this
leadership had made him strong not on
~ in business, but politically and he
had been something of an advocate for
foreigners who were forced to appear
as defendants in court. His services
had often been sought by the court as
an interpreter and he had been able
to earn considerable money in court
fees. After his plea of guilty to
the charge of receiving stolen goods

The announcement that John II. Lieg-

of the nomination for the Office of state
senator from this district on the demo-
cratic ticket came as a surprise to the
leaders of the party in this county and
they are at loss to account for his
action The retirement Of Mr.. Liegler
from the race practically assures the
election of Senator Isaac 7. Bishop to
succeed himself and it also indicates
that the democrats have not as much
