gists, 29.14.

CHICAGO. III. Feb. 2s.--Party leaders
to-day began laying plans for what prom
ises to be one OF the most spectacular
aldermanic campaigns Chicago has expe-
r!enced In many years. An analysis OF
the vote at the nominating primaries yes
tcrday shows that the Hearst Harrison
Democratic forces received a hard drub-
bling at the hands OF the Roger Sullivan
faction and there arc party leaders who
are predicting tonight that the result OF
the Democratic strife removes Mayor HAr-
r'son as a possible candidate for reelec-
ton.
While the woman suffragls,s. who par-
ticipated in the elections yesterday for the
first time In the history of the State
are claiming tonight n part OF the credit
for retiring the administration men. the
vote shows that the hottest of the contests
were between rival factions In the Demo-
cratic party. between the faction led by
Roger Sullivan. who aspires to n seat In
the United States Senate. and tho faction
In power.
Seven women will have their names on
the ballots for Aldermen In the April
elections. SlS were unopposod candidates
and tho seventh had her name written on

Der OF times to win her nomination.

centage OF the male registration was prac-
ticaily the same, 2s47. There are 433s 2&

BufYum's confession. made in the Toursine
Hotel, Buffalo. that she murdered her
farmer husband by slow poisoninsx for
the love of Ernest Frahm was admitted
to-day as evidence in the murder trial
now being held At Little Valley before
Justice Brown. The defence fought long
and hard against 1t. asserting that the
confession was obtained by coercion OF a
Buffalo detective and alleging that the
woman was intoxicated when the state
urnt was made. The prosecution intro
duced evidence TO prove that when the de-
PENDANT related her story to District At
torney Cole In Buiralo she had had MOTH
ing but small glass OF beer. and that
fifteen hours before.
In the statement Mrs. Buffum asserted
that she had been a victim OF her hus-
bands unjust accusations of infidelity for
nearly twenty years; that he beat her
and knocked her down: that she sought
solace in the company OF Frahn,. and that
he persuaded her to poison her husband
with horse liniment containing arsenic.
She said that she carried out the advice
TO tho letter; that she introduced the
poison into her husbands food and medi-
cine repeatedly. and that II took almost
four weeks to kill him.
After the reading Of the statement the
prosecution rested. The insinuatlon was
made by the defence in opening its case
that Willis Buffum had deliberately
Planned to kill himself and his family.

Of Any Who May Have Been Omitted

This week is submitted the list of
civil war veterans credited to the city.
It is evident that many are thus credit
ed who were residents of the various
townships of the county. This is readi-
ly accounted for by the fact that cash
premiums or bounties for enlistment
were more freely offered by the city.
Naturally there was a strong induce
ment to accept the largest bounty, thus
to be enabled to leave something with
the old folks at home' when going
to the front. Because of the length Of
this list, comment on Kenosha s part in
the war will be reserved for next week.
Then will be published the names of
Kenosha county men who enlisted away
from home. This list is far from per-
feet. Let every one exert himself or
herself to think up names that come
under the head together with all posi-
bic details as to state and organiza-
ton. Address F. H. Lyman, 432 Park

This column is designed to be of the
greatest possible use to the greatest
number. For that reason it is neces-
sary to confne comment largely to sub
jects of general interest. The news

broad extension plan to spread accurate
scientific and yet popular information
upon disease and health. Bulletins are
now in course of preparation which will
cover diseases in greater detail than is
possible in the limited space permit
ted here.
Queries are being received by the
bureau from people who desire personal
advice and information. In many IA
stances the questions and answers are
too personal to put in public print. We
welcome personal letters and are glad
to answer them personally. 1t will be
understood, of course, that the bureau
cannot treat patients by correspond

tempt it improper. It is the desire to
make the Health Instruction Bureau as
valuable to you as the Agricultural De
