FORT DEARBORN
SURVIVOR DIES
Born on Memorable Gath of May 1882
When Black Hawk Threatened
Attack
CBy United Press Association

Hancock, Wis, March 20.-William
Patterson Stevens who was born at
Old Fort Dearborn in Chicago May 25,
1881, &c day on which Black threaten
ed to attack the fort and the~last sur
vivor of Chicago, first born died here
today.
In 1882, at the start of the Black
Hawk war word was received on May
"a that he was advancing on the fort.
So many immigrants had arrived in
Chicago during the few days previous
that they were unable to crowd into
the fort and stockade. All women and
children and enough men to man all
available boats pushed out into Lake
Michigan. At this intense moment,
Stevens was born.
In 1888 Stevens family left the fort
and settled in Kenosha, Two years
, later the Stevens family went to Ripon
Mr.. Stevens enlisted in Co. B, 1st Wis
consin Regiment and served during the
civil war. The funeral will be held at
Ripon.

The bill of which the foregoing is
a part was introduced into the legisla-
ture by Assemblyman Hambrecht at
the request of the business men of this
city. The bill became law and it is
now up to the business men to see that
the provisions of this law are taken
advantage of by Grand Rapids and the
way to do it is to see that yourself and
all your acquaintance among the vo-
tiers are fully informed on the sub
ject and then vote FOR IT.
Voting FOR the appropriation on
the seperate ballot means, more bust
ness, better and bigger city. So, if
you want to see Grand Rapids grow,
vote FOR the appropriation.

Waukegan, H., March 20-Circuit
Judge C. C. Edwards today granted
the plea of counsel for W. H. Orpet
Wisconsin University student charg-
ed with the murder of Marian Lam
bert for change of venue to another
Judge in the same county.

ARE WE CHANGING.

1t used to be said that America was
a country whose government "Of the
people, for the people and by the peo-
pie" but that day seems to have passed
away. Now it is a government by
Congress, of Congress and for Con-
gress.
The pitiable showing of mobiliza-
ton of our available standing army
troops for work in connection with the
running down of Villa shows what
sort of law makers we have.
Many of them have been and are
playing politics. They do not care
what becomes of the country, wheth-
er or not its honor is dragged in the
mire, so long as they can be reelected
1t is time the people of this country
woke up to what congress really is
and make a decided change for the
better 1t is time to send men to con-
gress who are Americans first and
politicians afterward Let them stand
for the government and for American
honor and let them see that measures
are taken to provide this country with
a defensive force sufficient to actually
defend it and to guarantee protection
to American citizens wherever they
may be.
