S.eriiized Soil For Lettuce.

Professor Sharpe. Of the Massachu-
sets station, has been experimenting
to find a remedy for the lettuce rot.
The only remedy. OF the many tried,
which proved effectual was using steril-
lied soil-that is, soil that had been
heated to about $50 degrees. This
soil was spread on top CT the lettuce
beds and around tue plants after set
ting. The germs of the blight being
all killed in this soil the disease did
not get un through to attack the plants
until they were out of the way. It is
necessary to repeat the treatment on
every crop Of lettuce grown, but the
process is not expensive and is SO GER
tain that it may be found practicable
even in large greenhouses.

HEED THE WARNING.
Electric Light Company Will Make an
Effort to Give the City the Worth
of Its Money.
HAVE SET TWO NEW DYNAMos

Old Machines Which Have Been Used to
Furnish Light to the City are Replaced
in Short Order by Two New Modern ones
The Company Claim That They are
Ready tc Furnish all Kinds of Ii ght and
The Contract will be Carried out.
Spurred on by the protests registered
by an indignant people and the threats
of an investigation by the Council of
the city the Kenosha Light and Power
company made a hurried decision to
make an attempt at least to give the
city the worth of its money in the way
of street lighting.
The company have acted on the re-
quests recently made by the Council
and within less than week a5sfrom the
time the worm turned they have man
aged to secure two new dynamos,
which will be used exclusively for the
street service. The machines were
placed in position yesterday and are of
the latest pattern made by the Western
Electric company of Chicago. Each
has nominal capacity of 90 arc lights,
but the manager stated this morning
that if it was necessary the machines
could be made to carry'sa total of $50
lamps and still carry out the9 contract
to the city of furnishing light of 1000
candle power. The old machines had
a capacity of 100 lamps, but they were
of an old style and often gave the COM
pany great deal of trouble.
The company has at the present
time three dynamos given up entirely
to the lighting of the city, and they
claim that this is sufficient power to
supply the city with light for several
years to come. At present there are
116 lights on the city circuit, andsC. J.
Wakeman, of the company, states that
the power used at the plant will fur
nish light for at least 200 lamps with a
candle power of 1000. The company
state further that the contest that has
been raised by the9 city in regard to
the incongruity of the bookkeeping of
the company, and the police, is wholly
a mistake of the city. Mr.. Wakeman
stated that according to the contract
which the companyshad with the city,
they were given the right of using an
hour to repair any defective light, and
in many cases lights whichE had been
reported out for many1hours had not
been out but a short time, and8 that
they were burning again within the
time limit as named in the contract. ~
This is matter which will undoubt-
ed1y be settled by the Council. and the
people can feel assured that the com
pany, to use'a s1angaphrase, "wi1l get
all that's comm to them"

Waukegan Football Players Take an Easy
60 GamesFrom the Kenosha Team ~
With a record of many defeats and
no victories, the Kenosha High School
football team disbanded Thursday
afternoon, after giving splendid ex-
hibition of how the game should not be
played.
The last game of the season was
with the Wau1egan team, and the
latter had no trouble in defeating the
weak team from this city by a score of
Is to 0. The game was played at Watt
kegan, and half a hundred rooters
from this city went down and shivered
along the side lines while they waited
for the Kenosha boys to make some
play which might besworthy of a shout
of encoura cement, but the time never
came, as the Waukegan players were
superior in weight and knowledge
of the game, and simply walked over
the Kenosha players and won as they
pleased.
The game started, Waukegan having
CAAS 1AAS1AO14' IN HAANAN NSAouNoCAAt ~
Priddis and he fumb1ed. The ball
went to Waukegan and few seconds
later they put it behind the3 Kenosha
goal for touchdown.
The same trick was repeated twice
more before the end of the first half
and by this time the Kenosha .Fp1ayers
had walked up and in the second half
they put up a pretty good game. While
the Waukegan players had the best of
the argument in the second half they
were not able to score sagain and the
game closed with a score of Is to Ooin
favor of the opponents.
During the game Crabtree, one of
the Waukegan players, had his left
shoulder broken, ands Abel, full back
of the Kenosha team, received a, bad
wound on the head which put him out
of the game. His place was taken BY
K1eife1d. Abel was not in any way
seriously injured and feels no bad re-
suits of the injury today.

He had framed the check for just the
satisfaction of looking at it occasion
