ILLINOIS VETS IN

Anti Saloon Forces Almost I'm.
opposed In Small Towns.

Chicago, March 30.-Reports from
the many Illinois townships in which
the local option question will be vot-
ed on at the spring elections indicat-
ed that the most strenuous contests
were being waged in the cities.
Nearly 800 townships will vote wet
or dry April Z, and a review from
different counties discloses that the
anti-saloon forces were having little
organized opposition In rural and viii
lage communities, but that spirited
contests were being waged on the
dry program in the larger communi-
ties.
Repeated assertions of anti-saloon
leaders that the votes of women
would be strongly against the liquor
business were disputed in at least
n city. Champions of the license
forces in Aurora declared that they
expect to defeat the dry petition
through the aid of women voters.
Vigorous campaigns are being con-

BROTHERS Divide
Wealthy Stock Breeders of
Hanson County Dissolve
Partnership.

Alexandria, March 31.-"Win"
and WALT" Slade, the well known
thoroughbred stock breeders of Han
son county, whose beautiful homes
and valuable farmsteds of nearly one
thousand acres of the very best of
farm lands is situated two miles west
of the village of Fulton, after a part
nership in all of their business affairs
extending v a period of more
than thirty years, have dis
solved their business interests and
hereafter will each do business for
himself.
More than thirty years ago, the
two brothers walked from Spring
fell, S. D., to this county in search
of work, and after being employed
for little more than a year among
the farmers of the north part of the
county, together they paid 5000 for
the REIMBURSEMENT of a quarter sec
ton of land which the elder brother.
William, made homestead filing up
On and which is his home at the pres
ent time. Since that time five other
quarters have been added to the or
iginal filing; both boys have mar
ried; two sets of fine farm buildings
have been constructed a half mile
apart, and as nearly alike as it was
possible to build them, one Of which
Is occupied by each family.
In 1898 they commenced the
breeding of thoroughbred Chester
| White swine, and a few years later
of Shorthorn and Polled Durham
cattle. and still later the breeding of
Percheron horses was added. The
firm is known as "Slade Brothers"
and its unquestionable integrity has
made ii popular among stockmen
wherever known. They are now ex-
tensively engaged in the breeding of
all classes of registered farm stock
above mentioned.
The division was brought in a
friendly way, the object being that
the interest of each family might be
separate, and the division could be
tween themselves than by process
of law in case of the death of either.
The interests, representing up
wards of $4,000 in property was
divided by the brothers in less than a
days time, without a jar or single in
stance of dissatisfaction. Every
thing a divided equally and each
Will continue in the fine stock bust
ness in each branch in which both
have been engaged formerly.
The younger brother, Walter
Slade, has twice represented the
county in the lower branch of the
state legislature, and is the present
member of that body from his dis
trict.
