life. On the contrary, he had told his
cousin that he was planning to go to
Europe to visit his mother, sister and
brother there, and had talked rather
glowingly of the trip.
"T'm going to start right away" he
told the cousin as they parted at the
Northwestern station here. Perhaps
I'll reach home before | die"
Had Later Gone to Park.
It is believed that he then@went to
the house where he had lived at SCI
Nadia street, and after brooding over
his condition had left to go to Lincoln
Park. He must have secured the re-
volver with which he shot himself at
his room as he was unarmed while IN
Chicago earlier in the day.
The revolver was a 80 calibre Savage
automatic pistol. Police declare that
it is very similar to those which are
often given away in punch board draw
ings and it is thought that he may
have secured the revolver in that way
some time ago. He left no note of any
kind explaining his act.
1t is declared that he was not
Strengthened for money as he had
saved quite a large sum which would
probably have been ample to keep him
the remainder of his life.
Lived Here Many Years.
Saczuwka came to Kenosha when he
was a young man and has lived here
since that time. He had been employ
ed in the foundry of the American
Brass company where he was widely
known among the employees. He was
never married and has no close rela-
tives in Kenosha but is survived by a
mother, sister and a brother in
Europe.
Coroner Truman T. Parker made an
investigation of the death this morning
finding that it was a clear case Of
suicide. A formal inquest will prob
ably be unnecessary. No definite ar
rangements have yet been made for
the funeral services.

Samuel Saczuwka, Aged "a Years, Shoots Him
self to Death in Lincoln Park on
Wednesday Night.
WAS DESPONDENT OVER ILL HEALTH
Had Just Returned from Chicago Where Physicians
Told Him He Was Victim of white Plague
and Beyond Hope of Recovery.


Despondent because he had Just
iearne' hat he was suffering from tu-
berculosis and had reached a stage of
the disease which was beyond hopes of
recovery, Samuel Saczuwka, aged 81,
long an employee of the American
Brass company, committed suicide on
Wednesday evening in Lincoln Park by
shooting himself through the right
temple. The shot was heard by scores
Of people who were in the park at that
time; it brought Park Policeman Will
liam Johnson to the scene Of the
tragedy-the northwest corner Of the
park near that end Of the lagoon
where the almost lifeless body of the
suicide was found lying on the ground
with the smoking revolver at his side.
In the belief that there might be g
little life remaining, the injured man
was taken to the Kenosha hospital in
the police ambulance. He was dead
before the ambulance reached the hos
pital and the body was ordered taken
to the Mischler morgue on Park street.
Had Shot But Once.
No one was near the man at the time
Of the shooting and no eye witness Of
the tragedy could be located by the
police, Early in the evening Saczuwka
had been seen sitting at the foot Of a
tree, gazing into the lagoon, near the
place where his body was found later.
There had been no one with him.
Just before 9 o'clock the people in
the park became frightened when they
heard the single shot which ended the
man's~life. Park Policeman Johnson
went to investigate and found the body
of the suicide. The bullet had gone in
the right temple just above the eye and
had gone out ON the other side of his
head, crashing its way through the
mans brain. The powder burns gave
added evidence that it was clear case
of suicide.
Had Been to Chicago.
The deceased had suffered from a
stubborn illness for several months
Physicians in Kenosha had told him
that he was q victim of tuberculosis,
but he had chung to the belief that this
was false diagnosis of his illness.
On Wednesday morning he went with
his cousin, Harry Shamanske, 65 North
fremont avenue, TO a specialist in Chi
cago, where thorough examination, of
his condition was made. The expert
confirmed the diagnosis of the local
physicians.

stefan told him, 81 am sorry, but /
must tell you that no medicine will
helpNyou now. 1t is only question
of time"

Dublin - With both flanks of the
republican insurgent army broken
through yesterdays capture of Water
ford and Limerick, the irregular troops
today were reported to be retreating
in the direction of Cork. They are
believed to number some thousands of
soldiers sufficiently equipped with all
arms except artillery and they are ex-
pected to give the national army fore

determined stand before reaching
Cork.
Telegraph lines from Cork were par
TALLY restored yesterday and messages
reaching Dublin indicated that the city
was comparatively quiet.
The national forces are said to be
in complete control of Limerick ex-
cept for few insurgent snipers. The
city was damaged by fires ignited by
the irregulars before exaeuating.
Reports reaching here through free
state channels charge the republicans
with having looted the Limerick stores
of practically everything valuable. The
loss is said to have amounted to sew
eral thousand pounds.
canon de Valera is alleged to have
been in the city for some time but left
when the attack began, going to Re-
publican headquarters at<Clonmel.
Word reached here early today and
the national forces captured Casterea,
county Roscommon yesterday, after
Smelling the local headquarters of the

(By Associated Press Leased Wire


Washington, D. C.-The Senate came
today to the major battle ground in the
administration tariff bill-the wool
subject. The subject is expected to
be the subject of sharp attack from
both sides of the chamber.
Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis

upon the cotton schedule, was prepared
for an even more vigorous fight on

Besides, wool the big controversies
remaining are hides, sugar and the

A HEARTY MEAL OF TODAY

Experiments are now being conduct
ed by number of skilled workers, and
some striking conclusions have been
obtained by Professor Robert ]. Moore
Of the Fraser laboratories, until re-
Gently professor in the department of
chemistry at Columbia University, New
York.
Professor Moore has apparently sue
ceeded in transforming petroleum into
certain animal fats and fatty acids.
This leads to the question whether
lard. suet, tallow, cod liver oil might
not be manufactured this way.
Many food substances can be OBJ
tanned in animal or vegetable form, and
if they are obtained from animals, they
are ultimately of vegetable origin, since
the animals body is composed of the
vegetable products it consumes.

AIR STATION ON THAMES.

London-The air ministry is about
to carry out experiments for establish
ing an air station on the Thames and
test fights soon will begin. The new
station probably will be near the
House of Parliament and when in use
will save the journey by motor car to
Croydon aerodrome, thus shortening
by an hour the, journey by plane from
London to Paris. The ministry also
has approved scheme for an air serv-
ice between Southampton and the
French ports of Cherbourg and LIE
Havre. The main object of this plan
is to shorten the cross-Atlantic journey
by picking up passengers from Cher
bourg, conveying them rapidly by air
to Southampton and thence EDWARDS
to London by train.

aha make Ihem good and stout,
For things are sort of cross-wise
and Betsy and are out"
Anna Johanna Peterson, wife Q
Toerkel Peterson, prominent farmer !
the town of Paris, has made q ne,
application to the circuit court of Re
nosha county for an absolute divorc
and for division Of an estate while
is estimated to be valued at more tina
thirty thousand dollars.
1t is not the first appearance Of ia
domestic difficulties of Mr.. and Mr.:
Peterson in the local courts, but tn
complaint filed by Attorney George Y
Taylor on Thursday afternoon allege
that the efforts to get a reconciliatio
following the dismissal of a formt
suit for divorce have been unavailin
and that Mrs. Peterson is now dt
handing an absolute release from
marriage contract entered into near
thirty years ago,
Children Are All Grown.
It is admitted in the complaint tn:
efforts have been made to reconcile til
differences between the old Par.
farmer and his wife, but that the
have failed utterly. Children-repre
senting three families grown u
and left the parental roof and it is de
clared that all of the people intereste'
in the granting of the decree are nov
above their majority in age.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson were married
in Racine, August II, 1894, and they
have spent nearly all of their married
life in the town Of Paris. Mrs. Peder-
son charges her husband with cruelt!
and failure to support and her attor-
neys allege that her work aided
materially in building up the family
fortune.
In the complaint she asserts that the
property of her self and her husband
consists of the farm in the town o
Paris which is conservatively valued 81
$4,000 and that in addition there is q
large amount of personal property
and money.
Case Bitterly Contested.
The husband bitterly contested the
former complaint of his wife forldi-
vorce and the judge who heard tbs
evidence made provision for separate
maintenance for Mrs. Peterson at 6
rate of fifteen dollars a week. Hel
complaint now demands that the de-
cree of divorce be made absolute anc
that she be granted a division of the
property in lieu of alimony. Court
Commissioner Lewis Powell has sign
ed an order directing the defendant
to pay temporary alimony of ffteer
dollars weekly and a hundred dollar;
as attorneys fees. It is expected that
the case will come up at the next term
of the circuit court.
The parties to the action are among
the most prominent Of the old resi-
dents of the town of Paris.

AND WHAT THE SAME MEAL
MAY LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE
WHEN SCIENTISTS PREPARE 1T IN
TABLOID FORM.
1t is certain, therefore, that nature
is in the vegetable world constantly
Transforming mineral into vegetable
substances. And if this is done by
nature, why cannot we learn to do it in
the laboratory?
Realization Near.
1t would seem that something of the
sort is on the verge of accomplishment
Sugars, starches, certain acids, fats
and protein substances already have
been manufactured scarcely distin-
guishable from those created by nature.
From this start it is possible that more
complicated food substances may 1be
manufactured and that we shall create
in the chemists laboratory food prod
ucts that will take the place of those
now manufactured by nature.

HOT BREADS.

Washington = Dyspeptics need not
shy from hot bread when it~appears on
the menu-that is, if they'll take the
word Of the Department of AgricuI-
ture that indigestion is not caused by
the temperature Of the bread.
When hot bread does cause discom-
fort, it is the fault of the baker, in
using too much yeast, baking powder
or soda and taking it from the oven
while their interior of the loaves are
soggy, the department says.

SOMETHING new.
Take a Pill for as Much

Meal Gives.
DISMISS ALL COOKS

New York.-Will the time come when,
instead of eating the great volume of
food we consume today, we shall take
our nourishment in tabloid form?
Such an idea has been the aim of
chemists for long time.
We seem nearing this possibility to-
day, for it is true that chemists have
succeeded in synthesizing number of
the elementary food products, which
can scarcely be distinguished from the
original ones manufactured by nature.
