PORTAGE WOMEN ARRESTED
They Did Not Heed the
Handwriting on the Wall
and Were Caught.
portage Register

On complaint of District Attorney
David Bogue, warrants were issued in
Justice Heidt's court against Bessie
Menzel, as keeper of house, and
against Cora Medium, Georgia Hitch
cock and Nellie Goodwin on the:charge
of being inmates. Sheriff Voth and
Undersheriff w. X. Mackenzie made
the arrests and the accused were
brought into court and asked an ad.
journment.
District Attorney Bogue appeared for
the prosecution and Attorney Charles
Ii. Metzler for the defendants. The
adjournment was granted and Justice
Heidi fixed the bond of the Menzel
woman at $3.50 and of the three others
at $50 each. VIM. Netzo, Fifth ward
alderman, signed the bond for Bessie
Menzel, the alleged keeper, and the
three other women were allowed to go
on bond signed by themselves and
the Mcneil woman, who is property
holder in the city.
1t is very evident that District At
torney Bogue meant what he said
when he notified these people to re-
move from the borders of the county,
and the prosecution was hastened by
disclosures in the early Sunday morn
ing tragedy, but it is rumored that the
county officials have been preparing
the move for some time and it is no
hasty action that is being taken.

Mail Goes Wrong.

More than thirteen million pieces of
m all matter were sent to the division
Of dead letters during the last year, a
LARGE portion of which could not be
delivered because of carelessness in
writing addresses.
Nearly all of this could be avoided if
envelopes with printed return cards
were used. The cost of these is so slight
that every person who writes letters
should use them.

From Thursdays Daily

A young man from Milwaukee was
somewhat surprised when he awoke

The two rented a bed in the Clark

RINGLING zEBRAS
DIE ON ROAD

Finds Loss in Car--Other
Circus Notes.
(Chicago Record-Herald.

"The elephant and the kangaroo
went into the ARK two by two"
They sing it differently at the ami
headquarters of Ringing Brothers cir
Gus at the Coliseum, for. there are in
many instances herds of animals of
one type. There are twenty-eight
elephants, not counting "hunch-
back" elephant called the midget;
numerous lions and tigers, zebras and
one civet cat-the only animal of its
kind on this continent. .
More animals are arriving and yes
terday several carloads of recently
captured beasts arrived from Bridge
port, Conn, where they have been in
quarantine.
Head Animal Man Dan Smith dis
covered when some cars were opened
yesterday morning that seven zebras
had been killed in transit. The an
FINALS were valued at $3.50 each.
Teddy Didn't Get 'Em.
Three eIands-of the sort killed by
Colonel Roosevelt on his hunting ex-
pedition into Africa-and four baby
camels were also in the shipment.
One of the Glands is to be sold to the
National Park at Washington.
These are busy days for the per-
formers, as there are rehearsals morn
ing, noon and night. Muscles that
have grown stiff during the long win
ter months-in both man and an
imal-are being limbered up, nets and
apparatus are being put in position.
The clowns, under the leadership of
Spader Johnson and Jules Turnour-
both of whom have been the subject
of many magazine articles-are going
through their antics in a manner to
win smile from the smileless man
who offers prize of fabulous sum of
money to any one who will make
him smile. 1t might be said here that
he frequently does laugh during re.
hearsals.
Everything is conducted like the
of a large army. Jules Tur-
nour is postmaster and sees that every
letter is delivered to it's owner. He
has been in the circus business all his
life, having been born in circus wa
gon in Spain. He knows every ro-
nance of the equestriennes and can
tell the age of Baldy, the big bull ele-
phant who lords it over the rest of
the herd.
Not Only a Clown.
Jules bears the reputation of being a
good man. He is a Christian and al
ways manages to find his way to
church in whatever town the show
happens to be in over Sunday. And
so it goes. Every one of them has
story which might easily fill book
that would be as interesting as one Of
the six best sellers.

The First Discovery.

He began at 10 years old to find out
things in his own way. Swinging,
once, till he gave himself sick-head-
ache, he lay down on the ground under
the swing, put his head across the
rope, which was slightly cushioned
with bit of blanket, and went to
sleep, to Waken and find his malady
cured. Unlike most people, who
would have set the recovery down to
chance, or to the few minutes sleep,
theschiId recognized the source of his
relief, and followed that treatment for
20 years, without guessing that the
pressure of his rOpe-pillOW on the back
of his neck had suspended the action
of the great occipital nerve and given
harmony TO the flow of the arterial
blood in the temporarily congested
head.
The Civil war flung in upon the
days OF his young manhood, pushing
away personal plans, and sending him
into the army. At the end of that
struggle he faced the world anew,
wife and child TO look after, and with
medical theories which did not agree
with the profession he was called upon
to practice. Already the smooth slip
ping of other mems thoughts through
the channels of his mind had begun to
irk MIN. Continually he stopped the

The Small Boy and His Hat.

He filings his hat across the dining
room when he comes in from school,
or leaves it in all manner Of places In
the house; in the coalbin, or on SIS
ters bureau. He loses 1t just at
church time, and spoils the spirit Of
family reverence and piety. AS the
family enters the church the anthem
is being sung, and the disgrace of be-
ing late again is laid on the innocent

small boy who has already forgotten
the confusion of which he was the
cause twenty minutes ago. In this
stage also ones hat Is removed on the
way to school by the hand of ones

of surrounding boon companions,
stuffed into others pockets, while dire
thoughts of ultimate loss hold one in
their grip, and the reckoning to be

RELIGIOUS PART IN HEALTH
1t Is the interpreter Of Sickness and
Death, and Of Health
as Well.

There is great deal of nonsense
written about religion and health;
there is great deal Of sense in real
ly connecting the two. There are a
great many religious people who get
sick and die. A great many irreligi-
GUS people who do the same thing. 1t
would be possible to get figures to
prove anything you like in this connec-
ton. But they would not prove the
truth. A clear mind, pure heart
and a cheerful spirit stand better
chance in the face of disease, than a
muddy mind, a dirty heart and an
ugly spirit. Health is by-product,
but a sure product of religion. But
there are few of us who get religion
enough to successfully combat our
own foolishness in other directions.
So we get sick and die. And there
are many worse things than these in
life. Religion is the interpreter Of
sickness and death, and health as we'll.
Fearsome things are those which are
not understood. Religion explains
sickness and death and we can adjust
ourselves to these great blessings. Re-
ligion explains health and shows how
it means opportunity and obligation;
that is religion clarifies all expert.
ences, we see them as they are, adjust
them to each other and ourselves to
all, and such an adjustment is not
far from condition of health. Re-
llgion will not set a broken leg, but
will contribute very largely to Its heal
ing, through keeping the sources of
healing pure. A clean heart produces
clean mind, clean mind insures a
clean body and clean body is con-
ducive to health.-Universalist Leader.

From.

Washington, July 1.-THE Canadian
reciprocity bill emerged unscratched
from the most serious ordeal it has
yet experienced in the senate. The
series of amendments offered by Sen.
ator Cummins of Iowa and the two
offered by Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, all seeking to increase the
number of Canadian manufactured
articles that shall be admitted to the
United States free Of duty were vot-
ed down by large majorities.
The vote in favor of the amend
ments was so small that Senator Cum:
Minis asked for only five roll calls, al
though he had previously announced
his intention of asking for at least
zen. The maximum vote for his tariff
amendments was ID, compared to
maximum vote of SO against.
Senator Bailey offered an amend
ment to the house wooden tariff bill,
imposing duty of % per cent on raw
wool. He will ask for the considera-
lion of this amendment and of his

near future
Senator La Toilette has not intro
luced his amendments, of which there
probably are a considerable number;

Senator Cummins. after the first few

pressed the conviction that it was the
Intention OF the senate not to change
the agreement in any particular, and
that it was useless to press the senate
for further votes. He finally allowed
