large sums Of money, by means Of de-
posting worthless securities. The mess
age said that this sWindler and crook
was accompanied by a handsome wo-
man whom he introduced as his wife
and that he was wanted in many cities
of the country.
Watertown, Wis, is the last city he
visited and made an effort to work the
trick on the Bank of Watertown, but
failed He had drafts and certificates
of deposit aggregating $4,000, which
he presented to the bank for collection,
stating that he was intending to make
Watertown his home After making
the arrangement he left, but later re-
turned and asked for an advance Of
1910, which was refused.
He then took the papers and genu-
inc savings deposit book and keys to
deposit box in the Illinois Trust Com
pany Of East st. Louis, and with the
woman, left WATERFOWL in q hurry,
leaving his baggage behind He stated
that he could get the securities cashed
at Milwaukee where he said he was well
known.
It is said that he is wanted at Kan
sas City, where he is supposed to have
eashed a draft for $4,000, leaving the
same on deposit. He presented draft
for $1,000 at Bloomington, I'll, bank

DECISION DUE THURSDAY
Judge Lands Expected to Make Final
Settlement of Zion Estate.

Prospects are that the final settle
ment in the Zion City affairs will be
reached Thursday. AS far as is known
the Voliva, bid has been the only one
received for the property, it being stat
ed that the Independents have confined
their efforts to blocking their rivals
move.
Prospects are that at last the re-
ceivership will be ended and Zion City
will in some way become a self gov
erning city. just what will happen
to the Independents in case the prop
erty goes to Voliva is not known, but
some people seem to think that condi-
tions will come to crisis and that one
or the other faction will gain decis
i've victory.
Whether the Independents will be
able to stay in Zion in case their riv-
els win remains to be seen, but mean
time everyone interested is awaiting to
hear the court IS decision on Thursday
in regard to the sale Of the estate.

TO CONSIDER PAROLES
Board of Control to Hear Applications
of 40 Convicts.

The state board of control, which has
charge of the charitable and penal in
stitutions Of Wisconsin, will meet at the
state prison in Waupun on July 10 for
the purpose of hearing forty appli-
cations for parole.
The board will not make public the
names of the applicants because it be-
lieves that general publicity does not
promote the purposes Of the parole law.
1t is known, however, that several pris-
oners of wide notoriety have asked to
be paroled. Usually the board grants
about one-third Of the applications.
Since the parole law was passed three
and half years ago the board has re-
leased over 80 prisoners from Waupun
and only six Of them violated the condi-
lions Of their parole.
The board has established bus serv-
ice between the railroad station and
state insane asylum in Mendoza, a dis
lance of three-quarters of mile, the
fee for the ride being 10 cents each
way.
It is expected that the service will be
self-maintaining, as the average mum
Der of asylum visitors daily is about
fifty.
The board has bought small automo-
bile FOR the steward Of the institution,
believing that it viii be cheaper than
keeping team and carriage.

HAND sPITTERs A CARD.
Novel Method Of Notifying People Not
to Expectorate IN Cars.

to EXpecG0TaJe IN Cars.
The Milwaukee health authorities
have come out with novel method Of
impressing the necessity for cleanli-
ness in public conveyances on the peo-
pie which might well be adopted by the
managers of the street car lines in all
of the cities of the state.
Scores of patrons Of the Milwaukee
Electric Railway and Light Co., in
Milwaukee, made it a practice of spit
ting on the platforms Of the cars.
where they stand and smoke and others
commit the filthy act inside of the cars.
Not desiring to correct the persons
guilty of this offense and perhaps pre-
eipitate trouble, the conductors and
motormen of the cars have been sup
piled with cards which are handed to
any person detected splitting, the cards
reading as follows:
Consumption, Ia grippe, coughs.
colds and all diseases Of the air pass
ages are spread BY splitting, and these
maladies Kill many thousands Of peo-
pie annually.
Splitting on sidewalks, in street
cars or in any public building is forbid
den BY law and punishable by fine o.
Imprisonment.
Every gentleman will obey the law
and respect the rights Of others.
"Will you help preserve health and
save life? w ID. Rucker.
