afternoon. With the victory went the
title Of bantau champion of the world,
although both contestants were act
ually in the featherweight class. The
Englishman, although forcing the pace
at the outset, was really neve' in it,
and McGOvern simply battered his OPP
ponent into partial insensibility. The
Brooklyn lads arms worked like piston
rods and the punishment which he
meted out to Palmer was swift and
terrible
The battle did not last one round, the
actual time of fighting being exactly
two minutes and thirty-two seconds,
at the end of which time Palmer was
lying helpless, though half conscious,
on the floor of the ring. Through an
unlocked for accident on the official
timers part the lads were separated
by the gong when they had been fight
ing one minute. Each went to his cor
ner, but the error was rectified in less
than twelve seconds and the boys re-
sumed hostilities in the center of the
ring Immediately.
The prize money was $4,000, of
which the winner took Is per cent,
and nearly 10000 persons saw the
fight All the prominent pugilists in
the country were present. Dixon and
Gardner both challenged the minner

Is It u or n?

The Spencerian script taught in the
schools of late years is responsible for
number1ess typographical errors. 1t is
often almost impossible, especially in
the case of proper names, to determine
whether wavy wrigg1e is intended
for n or IL, and the selection of the
wrong letter sometimes results in
amusing bulls, for which no one is
rightly responsible except the writer
of the serpentine manuscript. Pub
fishers should impress upon advertisers
and others the Importance of underlin-
ing the letter Il and over1ining the let
ter n, in all cases where there may be a
possible doubt as to which letter is
intended. Were this done, fewer mis-
takes would be made, especially in
proper names, always the most irritat-
ing of typographical errors.-Pub1ish-

THURSDAY, SEPT. IA 1899.

A Republic in name and a Republic
in reality are two very different things.
A Republic that is such only in name
is not difficult of attainment, but he
public that is one in fact and in spirit
is the most difficult of attainment. A
Republican form of government that is
effective and real is a rare thing. 1t is
the ideal in government. For its
maintenance and successful operation
it REQUIRES a peculiar civilization and
national spirit. The United States
represents the most perfect Republican
government ever known. 1t is the
product of peculiar conditions. The
history of the American people be-
fore and since the adoption of the
present constitution on which our
government is based has been unique
It presents facts and circumstances
manipulated in the history of any
other nation. The elements from
which our system was evolved were as
unique as the system itself. In short
the United States is the wonderful
offspring of unusual conditions. The
favorable environment of it's concep-
ton and development has been Pc
cu1iar to it with the result that the
Republic of the United States is far in
advance of ali other governments of
the same nomination. Because other
governments have been the victims of
less propitious circumstances, if they
have attempted a Republican system,
they have failed. France belongs to
those nations which have made their
history out of altogether different stuff
than the United States and upon which
it is almost impossible to erect the
fabric of a true Republic. The
difference between the two coun-
tries is only the difference be-
tween their respective histories.
There has been a similarity in the
history of Europeans r nations that
would Justify the expectat that they
would all at this time present similar
form of government. To a large .ex-
tent they do, but France, with her
characteristic haste ard precipitous-
ness, sought to anticipate with the
result .sthat, while she is now the only
European power that boasts a Repub-
lican form of government, there is less
of Repubticanism in France than in
any other European nation. She has
sought to accomplish by revolution
what evolution alone can bring about.
The Dreyfus trial, with it's results, has
demonstrated the fact that the e1e-
ments of ni1itarism and monarchy
are almost as potent in France today
as when first submerged in the red tide
of revolution.

SEASON OF GREAT PLAYS.
Annual Announcement of Mcvicker's

Readers from this city who attended
jacob Lifts production of sporting
Life at McVicker's theater, in Chi
cago, will be glad to know that Mr..
Lift has another tremendous success
in Edwin Arden's immensely powerful
play, "Zorah," now running at this
hostoric play in the Windy city E.
1t is story of the persecution of the
Jews in Russia, and tells a story
frought with deepest human interest,
It is said to be the best American
me1odrama ever written, and Mr.. Lit
has staged, as only he can stage, these
mammoth productions. The best COM
pany obtainab1e is seen in "Zorah. F."
Unfortunately the engagement is
limited to three weeks, and as one of
them is already gone by, only two re-
main in which to see it. The attend
ance is said to rival that of Sporting
Life, " when the big theater was packed
to the dome day after day for twelve
weeks. The engagement closes Sept.
%, to make way for Chauncey O1cott in
his new play, GA Romance of Ath1one. !"

with the trustees of the estate of the
late Augustin Daily to handle '"The
Great Ruby" the biggest success ever
achieved by an English melodrama,
having been scored by this great play
when Daily produced it at his theatre
in New York last winter. 1t is by
Cecil Raleigh, who wrote sporting
Life and ran all of last winter at
Days in New York. Some idea of
the magnitude of the production may
be gathered from the fact that Mr..
Lift has had to buy seven sixty-foot
cars to handle the scenery and proper
ties used in the staging of this play
He will present it at McVicker's
theatre in Chicago for six weeks, COM
mencing October 9Th. The company
is now being organized in New York
under Mr.. Lifts personal supervision.
George Clark, of the famous Daily
Stock company, has been engaged by
Mr.. Lift to stage "The Great Ruby"

BULL CASE rs SETTLED
Defendant Agrees to Pay Plaintiff $500
and Satisfy an Old Judgment for Costs.

The famous Hauser- Whitley bull
case is no more, for this morning the
attorneys representing the two parties
in the matter got together and settle
ment was affected before the session of
the Circuit Court opened. When court
opened the attorney for the plaintiff
moved that the case be dismissed, as it
had been settled between the parties.
None of the terms of the settlement
have been filed with the court, but it is
understood that the settlement was Of
fered by the attorneys for the defense
and that it was gladly accepted by the
attorneys for Mr.. Hauser. According
to the settlement Mrs. Whitley will
pay the plaintiff the sum of $500, and
also agrees to satisfy a judgment of a
similar amount now pending in the
court against the plaintiff in the
action. The point of the non-suit was
not decided, but attorneys hold that
the defendant had the better end of the
argument Mrs. Whitley offered to
make a settlement with Hauser some
time ago, agreeing to give him $500,
but at the time the offer was refused.
This final settlement of the case will
remove from the calendar case which

HINTS AT JERSEY CORRUPTION.
Too Dlsgraceful to Observation-Disclosures

Too Disgraceful to Observation-Disclosures
ating Railway Contract.
Asked as to his attempt to secure
the enactment of free pipe line bill
through the New Jersey legislature,
Emery stated that his experience had
been so disgraceful in New Jersey that
he was ashamed to tell it. Emery pro-
duced a contract made between the
Pennsylvania railroad and an oil com
pany in 1884, which he claimed proved
that the railroad company kept the
rate for oil transportation up to IS
cents per barrel, in return for the
business of hauling the by-products-
benzine, gasoline, tar, etc.-Which
could not be pumped to the seaboard,
thus giving the company the power
to pipe its petroleum through for 10
cents per barrel and rendering it i'm
possible for independent shippers to
compete by railroad He said there
was inferential proof that the same
sort of contracts existed today
Emery found the remedy for the ex-
listing state of affairs in the govern
ment ownership of all transportation
facilities, water as we'll as railroad.
Discrimination in transportation rates
to favored shippers against the gen
eral public was, he said, the founda-
ton of many of the most burdensome
trusts.
Senator Emery is the last of the
trust witnesses who will be heard this
month. There will be only two more
witnesses in connection with the
Standard Oil company. They are to be
heard next month. John d. Rookie.
Teller, president of the Standard Oil
company, is one of them, and George

A MILWAUKEE divine has taken up
the cudge1 against the Sunday news
paper because it keeps the woringnan
away from church. Though that may
be a regrettab1e fact, it does not look
like a good argument to advance
against the newspaper. The Sunday
paper may not be all that it is capable
of being, but there is seldom anything
very demora1izing about it, and if it
presents greater attractions to the av-
erage citizen than the minister's ser
mon, surely neither the paper nor the

Washington, Sept 13. = The entire
session of the industrial commission
yesterday was occupied in hearing the
conclusion of the testimony Of former
State Senator Lewis Emery, of Brad
ford, Pa. He took as his text the gen
eral charge that discrimination in rail
road rates was the basis of monopoly
and charged that it was through this
agency that the Standard Oil trust had
been created. Although the old con-
tracts for rebates had been nullified by
the interstate commerce act, he charged
that the same system was substantial
~ in effect today. He gave an interest
ing account of the building of the pipe
line by the United States Pipe Line
company in 189O-91, describing in de-
tail the innumerable obstacles placed
in it's path by the Standard, and how
they had been overcome.
Courts Make His Work Vain,
In New Jersey several pitched battles
had occurred, but in spite of all the
line finally made it's connection with
the Jersey Central fifty miles from New
York. A recent court decision, he said,
would, however, compel the company
to go back to Philadelphia, so that in
the end the railroads had proved an
effective barrier to competition. Emery
said he was now interested in the Pure
Oil company which, he insisted, was
not trust. In this connection he said
a great injustice had been done to
Rep. Phillips, who had been repre-
sented by Archbold as having at
tempted, on behalf of the Pure Oil
company, to effect a combination with
the Standard. Phillips had never ia
vored such a combination. zIn ~ -

Weekly Crop Report.

Temperature.-The past week has
been considerably cooler than the
week preceding, the average, being
about degrees lower and ranging
from 81 degrees along the northern
border to "a degrees over the south
western counties. The highest tenn
peratures occurred generally during
the early part of the week, while dur
ing the latter part the minimum tenn
peratures fell to or below so degrees at
most points in the middle and northern
sections.
Rainfa11.-The rainfall during the
week has been copious, except over the
southwestern and extreme southeastern
portions of the State, where the
drought continues, while at some
points in the northern, central and
south-centra1 counties the rains have
been so heavy as to retard fall work
and damage grain in shock and stack
to some extent.
Corn cutting is under way in most
parts of the State, and the concensus
of opinion seems to be that this crop Is
now sufficiently matured to be safe
from frost. Some damage has resulted
from the excessive heat and dry
weather, but the crop, as whole, is
satisfactory.
Potatoes.-The potato crop suffered
considerably from the hot, dry wealth
err, and while improvement resulted
from the rains of the past week, the
relief came too late to materially alter
the condition of the crop.

THE MILK MEN
Food and Dairy Commissioner Chad
wick Makes a Sudden SWO0p
on Local Dealers.
% SAMPLES ARE OBTAINED

And Sent to Milwaukee to be Examined
By the State Board of Food and Dairy
Commissioners.-vistt of the Commits
sioner Was Surprise to the Local Men
and Caused Considerable Comment Re
suit of Test Will be Published
After lingering in cities about Ke-
nosha for several weeks the State
Food and Dairy Commission has f.
na1ly arrived in this city, and as an
evidence of their visit twenty-eight
samples of milk sold by dealers in this
county, were forwarded to Milwaukee
this afternoon for minute examina-
ton, according to the rules set down
by the commission.
Assistant Food and Dairy Commits
sioner w. w. Chadwick reached the
city at an early hour this morning,
and his coming was not heralded by a
brass band or anything of the kind.
The streets of the city were closely
watched, and as the milk men entered
the city to vend their product to the
citizens, each of them was stopped and
required to hand over to the commits
which his cans contained. The thing
came so sudden that the dealers had no
chance to prepare for the appearance
of the inspector, and whether the milk
was pure or not it is pretty certain
that the state official managed to
secure a pretty good sample. Not one
Of the milk men escaped, and all of the
milk which is used in the city will be
given a thorough test.
Commissioner Chadwick came to
Kenosha from Racine where he has
been for the past two weeks, and his
visit has placed terror ia the hearts of
the Belle City milk men.
In his examination of the milk sold
by the dealers in our northern neighbor
he found many things which were not
right and the offenders are being pun
ished as fast as the cases can be tried
in the courts. In speaking of the mat
ter to representative of this paper
Mr.. Chadwick stated that it was the
especial purpose of the Board to detect
and abolish the use of preservatives in
the milk sold by Wisconsin dealers.
Nearly all the cases where arrests have
been made have been cases where it
appeared to the commissioners that a
certain preservative known as "Pre-
serva1ine' had been used. Mr.. Chad
wick says that by the use of this chem
ica1 the dealer is able to keep his milk
sweet for three to four days, but that
the use of the chemical destroys the
value of the milk as food product
The preservative is a poisonous sub
stance and is very liable to breed
germs of disease in places where it is
used to any great extent.
The milk sold by all the dealers in
this city was given a test short time
ago by Health Officer C1eary and was
pronounced to be as nearly pure as
milk can be. If any cases are found in
this city where it can be shown that
the milk does not stand the proper test
or where it can be proved that preserv-
atives of any kind have been used, the
dealers handling such products will be
arrested and tried for violating the
state laws in regard to pure foods.
The result of the state examination of
the milk will be made public in the
next few days and if any violations Of
the law are discovered prosecutions
will begin at once.
