United States navy occupies
fourth place among the navies of
the world, and authorities agree
that II this country ~ TO maintain It's
standing as a world power its navy must
be largely Increased. In the recent debate
on the naval appropriation bill, Congress-
man Loudensager, OF New Jersey, point
ed out that never has there been so great
competition among the nations for for
eign commerce as now, and foreign COM
merce cannot be maintained TO any con-
siderable extent unless nation Is pre-

MRS. Bridget Gallagher.

Another of the early pioneer settlers
answered the final call Friday morning
when Mrs. Bridget Gallagher, wife of
Edward Gallagher, passed away at her
home on North Maple street. Mrs.
Gallagher was 90 years of age and her
death was the natural falling Of old
age. She had been in poor health for
some time and death came as, a sweet
release from life of patient suffering.
The deceased had been a resident of
this city for several years and lived in
the county nearly half a century. She
was born in Ireland, but while young
woman came to this country and set
tied in the town of Salem. She has a
large circle of friends who will be
grieved to hear of her death. An aged
husband and number of children, one
of them, Mrs. Bernard McGivern, of
this city, survive.

AL. NEIMAN TO WED.
High Art Tailor Will be Joined in Holy
Matrimony to Miss Minnie Reel

Al. Neiman, the popular proprietor
of the Tailor shop on Main street, is
receiving the congratulations of his
friends today, on account of his COM
ing marriage to Miss Minnie Reel, of
Milwaukee. The amour cement of the
engagement has been made to the
friends of the young people, and a
public announcement of the wedding,
which will occur in the near future,
will be made in Milwaukee on Sunday.
The exact date of the wedding has
not as yet been set, but it is announced
as one of the events of Milwaukee
society to follow the Lenten season.
The bride to be is one of the most
beautiful and accomplished young
ladies III Milwaukee. She has always
taken an important place in the society
of the Cream City, and is an acknowl-
edged favorite. Her father is one of
the wea1thiest citizens in Milwaukee.

Gets.Heayy Damages.

The suit of Anna M. Rogers against
the city of Kenosna, to recover dam
ages for personal injuries received by
falling on defective sidewalk, tern1i-
mated Thursday afternoon when the
Jury, after wrestling with the evidence
in the case for nearly twenty hours,
found a verdict for the plaintiff and
fixed the amount of her damages at
So, 700.
The verdict in the case was no sur
prise to the many people who had
watched with interest the development
during the last few days, and if there
is any amazement over the verdict
it is because the plaintiff did not re-
ceive the full amount.
When the jury remained out for so
long a time the attorneys for the city
were led to hope for disagreement,
but echoes from the jury room show
that the jurors were agreed that the
lady should recover damages, the only
question at issue being the amount
that should be granted to her. Quite
a few of the members of the jury held
that she should be granted the whole
amount, but some of them contended
that $1,000 was sufficient. The verdict
as presented was the result of COM
promise. OF course it is possible that
the case will be carried to the Supreme
court by the city.
The attorneys IN the case had little
to say in regard to the suit, more than
to intimate that the success of Mrs.
Rogers would cause several other
actions to be brought in the near
future.
"May it please the court" however,
the words of Judge Fish before the
verdict was rendered are full of wis
dom. He said that it would be good
thing for the city of Kenosha to suffer
defeat in such suit, as it would cause
the people to see the value of good
sidewalks. Nothing counts so much
in favor of city as the fact that it has
walks in good condition. 1t may be a
small burden on the taxpayers, but ex-
perience often teaches hard lesson.

The orchard which was planted in
the University fruit farm last spring,
has had four insect depredators during
the summer, none of which did serious
harm, but all might easily be very
dangerous enemies. The black aphis
and the woody aphis checked the growth
of the apple trees somewhat. The black
aphis resembles the plant lice that at
tack house plants, except in color. 1t
attacked the young growth in the early
spring. The woody aphis, or root louise,
is usually found in groups, and when
it is seen at all on the branches of an
apple tree, it is sure to be much more
