MR. HOUSTON OBJECTS
To Accepting S15 Head For His
Slaughtered Cattle.


The following dispatch from Madison
to the Milwaukee Sentinel gives the re-
suit Of the apprasement and award for
the slaughter of MR. Houstons cattle:
MADISON, Wis, Jan. Sin De-
cember last valuable herd of Jersey
and Guernsey cattle, belonging to R. S.
Houston, OF Ranney, Kenosha county,
was slaughtered by order of State Vet
erinarian j. L. Scott, who certified that
they were afflicted with a contagious
and infectious disease of a very malig-
nant and fatal nature. These cattle
were appraised at $47 a head, and so
certified to Secretary of State Casson.
The law governing the payment for
these animals, Chapter rs of the laws
of 1887, provides that two-thirds Of the
amount of the appraisement can be
paid to the owner of the slaughtered
animals, unless 1t is determined by the
secretary of state that the appraisement
is excessive and tat the caGtle in their
diseased condition were not worth the
amount for which they were appraised.
Acting under the authority given him
iii this section of the statute, Secretary
Casson cut down the amount from
1888 a head, which is two-thirds of
the amount CT the appraisement, to $50
a head, and awarded Mr.. Houston 500
for the thirty-eighr head of cattle
killed.
Mr.. Houston and his attorney, G. E.
EstabrOok, of Milwaukee, were in Mad
is0n yesterday and presented the de-
tails of the case to Secretary Cass"n,
and made an argument against the
justice OF his decision. Mr.. Houston
contends that the test made by State
Vetinarian Scott was entirely mad
equate. The lest was made by tieing
the cattle in their stalls at s O'Clock in
the morning, depriving them of water
and food for twenty four hours, taking
their temperature at o'clock in the
afternoon, injecting tuberculine at z
O'clock in the evening, and again TAX
ing their temperature at s o'clock in
the morning. Mr.. Houston and his at
torney contend that tuberculosis, while
a communicable disease, is not an in
fictitious and contagious disease of a
malignant and fatal nature. This
question and also that of the efficacy
of tuberculine in determining whether
or not cattle are afflicted with tuber-
culOsis, has been submitted to DR.. d.
E. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of tie
Animal Industry Of the Department OF
Agriculture at Washington, and until
his opinion is received Secretary Cas-
son will hole the matter in allegiance.
Mr.. H0uston's herd was probably
one of the most va liable in the North
west, and was the result of years Of ef-
fort in procuring the best blood p0sSi-
BILE. He contends that if the action of
The state vetinarian in this matter is
justified by warrant of law, there will
be no inducpment or no security for the
establishment of any valuable herd of
cattle in this state.

CHANGED THE ROUTE.
The Electric Road Franchise Given some
Revision.


At the meeting of. the special COM
mttee of the common council held
Wednesday evening, at which the pro-
posed franchise TO the Milwaukee, Ra-
cine e Kenosha Railroad company was
under discussion, considerable pruning
and revision took place. The proposed
ordinance did not please all the alder
men. The sticker which seemed to
hold hardest was the proposed route.
This was changed so that the proposed
road is to run us folio rs: Milwaukee
ayence, Main street, Park avenue. to
Deming street, to Chicago street, to
Dayton street, to Ashland avenue, to
city limits. Then local service was
provided for, which is to run from Ash
land avenue west on Elizabeth street to
Rowland avenue, north to Prairie ave-
nue., west to Newell avenue, and north
to railroad track and stop. Inside of
three years an extension is to be built
from this point to Market street and
thence to Main street. - ~
A provision was inserted calling for
one car at least every halt hour from 6
d. IN. to 8 p. m. 49,
On the Main street bridge a proVis-
ion was made for the company's bear
ing % per cent. of the cost Of repairs.
except in the matter of planking, and
with reference to the matter of freight
cars on the line, it was provided that
no heavy freighting should be done.
These are the principal changes made
and the committee will report a fran
chise ordinance in accordance with
them
1t is understood that several of these
changes Mr.. Slush is entirely opposed
t.. but it is not believed that they will
operate to defeat his acceptance of the
franchise. 1t may be possible that
further pruning will be made at the
council meeting Monday evening.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedi es
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets
int1amed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

thing is peculiarly noticeable-if the
town be live, up-to- date, progressive

is always so noteworthy that the heav-
lest advertisers are the most successful
firms. Wide awake merchants always
realize the value of iudicious and lib

If there are any young ladies in
our city" who wish a chance to get
even with the young gentlemen, this is
the year to do 1t. The girls complain
to their brothers, by blood or adoption,
that Kenosha young men are a bit
" sticky" They are not considerate;
they let the girls shift for themselves;
they go to the entertainments without
the girls or don't go at all except when
they want to very much, making the
girls dependent on their whims. The
charge is correct, in the main. But
there is a way to get even. If the
young ladies got up leap year party,
inviting only the faithful and young
men from out of town, there would be
squirming and scheming for invitations
on the part of the young men and great
discomfort. Or they could all be in
vited and then made wall flowers of as
sometimes happens to the girls. The
opportunity is a glorious one and the
last one for eight years.

That Six Day Ride.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The men who
finished in the six-day bicycle race
left the track Saturday night in a
pitiable condition. They were appar-
emily human wrecks. After "a hours
rest the majority of them looked as
we'll as usual. Few of them COM
planned of theelfects of the tremend-
GUS strain. Those who were the lead
ers said that they suffered only from
saddle gals and numbness of their
hands and wrists.
No man could have told that
"Teddy" Hale had been riding six
days and had covered 1910 miles with
less than eight hours sleep, and yet
finished the race in frightful agony.
Directly after the race, physician
examined Hale and found that he was
in excellent condition. He slept well
until A. M. and then ate his own
breakfast and Lumsdens as well and
then went to sleep again. He was
a wake again at p. M.
Even Rice, who was in a worse con-
dition than any of the men, was feel
ing we'll today. He went to sleep at l
A. NJ. in the Putnam house and
woke at AM. He could not remem-
Der much about the race, and tangled
things up bit, but this soon passed
away. Rice gained five pounds in
weight during the race. He hims II
would not believe it, and went TO the
scales before he would accept the gain.
He said he was sure he could rice
1000 miles. Rice will return to Wilkes
