First Consignment of TypeWriters is
Turned Out at MeiseIbach Fac
tory This Morning.
A SIX MONTHS PRODUCT SOLD.
Advance orders Received at the Plant will
Take the Output for Next six Months
More Men Being Added to Force.

There was great rejoicing among the
workmen and managers Of the Me1sel-
bach factory this afternoon on account
of the fact that the first completed
machine was finished and shipped
from the factory. The first machine
was a part Of large consignment
turned out this afternoon and they
have already found purchasers. From
fifty to seventy men are now at work
at the plant and the business will now
be pushed as rapidly as possible. New
departments are being steadily added
and as fast as possible the plant Will
start in to fill the long list of orders
now on hand. At the Office this after
noon it was stated that the machine
will not be placed on the open market
for fully six months on account OF the
fact that the individual orders now on
hand will take the entire output of the
plant for the next six months.
1t is reported that the first machine
for writing purposes manufactured IN
Wisconsin will be sent to Madison to
become the property of Governor La
Toilette.
The Meise1bach company will not
have an exhibit at the exposition at
Buffalo on account of the fact that
they are not yet ready to place the
machine on the general market. The
manager of the plant holds that it's use
less to make a demand for an article
when it is impossible to supply the de-
mand. The present capacity of the
plant is about two hundred machines
week, but when ali the departments
are working at full blast it will be pos
sible to turn out at least double this
number of typewriters. Many of the
old men employed by the Sieg COM
pany are returning to Kenosha to &C
cept positions with Mr.. Meise1ba CHI.

Parties Are Seeking Property on Lake
Front With a View of Extending
Durkee Avenue.
DONE BY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.
Good Prices Are Being offered by Parties
For Property and 1t is Thought the Plan
Will Be Carried Out This Year.

TT is reported today that an effort is
being made to carry out the long cher
ished plans of Kenosha people by coru-
p1eting the driveway along tthe S1ake
shore from Deming street to Market
street. The plan is to have the drive
completed by privateSenterprise and
the people owning property along the
proposed extension of the street are
taking great deal of interest in the
project.
Parties owning property intthe path
of the proposed extensions have been
approached by Attorney Norman L.
Baker, who is attempting to make
purchase of the property. 1t is
planned to fill in the entire lake front
in order to open the street through it.
This would make Durkee avenue one
of the most magnificent boulevards in
the city and would reclaim great deal
of property which has for some time
been partially buried understand and
water. 1t would have a tendency to
free the lake front of the old city dump
which has already cost the city great
deal of trouble and expense. AS far as
can be learned the street, if extended,
will be completed entirely by'aprivate
enterprise and for private gain.
The city will not be asked'to pay
any of the expense of the proposed
Improvement. It will be remembered
that when Mr.. Baker came before the
people as a candidate for mayor he
agreed to complete the drive if elected,
and, Notwithstanding his defeat it is
stated that he has interested other
property owners in the splan' which
seems certain to succeed. No property
has as yet been purchased, and it
seems that the property is being held
at higher value than it's true value.
The work of filling up the lake front
has already started however, and in
the near future the work will be we'll
under way.
Whether by public or private enter
prise it is to be hoped that the extern
sion of Durkee avenue will be made
during the present summer and they
people of the city should give ever
possible assistance to the plan.

BURGLARY EXPLAINED.
Men Who Attempted to Burglarize D. F.
Bristers Barn Say it Was All Joke.

Men VINO Attempted to Burglarize D. F.
Bristers Barn Say it Was All Joke.
The police have been able to discov-
er the facts in regard to one burglary
Some time ago it was reported that
burglars attempted to break into the
barn of D. F. Brister, on Prairie
avenue. About the doors Of the barn
were found a long knife, belt and
several other tools supposed to have
belonged to the house breakers. The
things were turned over to the police
and they have been attempting to find
the owners of them ever since. Yes
terday one of the men who had been
connected with the alleged burglary
confessed to the crime and stated that
the affair had been p1anned by the
friends of Brister simply as joke.
The men who were instrumental in
carrying out the joke were all friends
of the man who was supposed to have
been robbed.
OF course there will be no arrests,
and Brister and his friends are having
a good laugh al the joke.

FARMERS WE'RE sWINDLED.
Pleasant Prairie Farmers Wait in Vain for
Seed Potatoes From Michigan.

Truck farmers in the town of Pleas
ant Prairie are making search to
linda clue to the identity of Grant L.
Clark, of Grand Haven, Mich, who re-
Gently worked a smooth sw1ndl1ng
game in that town, For some years
some of the farmers had been buying
seed potatoes Of a firm in Michigan,
and some six weeks ago Clark made
the rounds of the farmers and took
large orders for seed potatoes. He
stated that he was a representative OF
a we'll known seed firm in Michigan,
and from reports he sold several car
loads of potatoes. Some time after
the orders were sent one of the farm
ers received a letter from Michigan
stating that the shipment would be
delayed, but they thought nothing of
this fact and three weeks passed. In
the meantime it was learned that Clark
had collected quite a little money in
letter was sent to the seed firm. The
answer came back that not an order
had been received from Kenosha
county during the present season.
Clark has probably been able to reach
green fields and pastures new, but 1t
he can be located half dozen farmers
of the county are willing to appear
against him.
1t is supposed that he managed to
secure several hundred dollars from
the farmers in the county. A few
people residing in the city were also
caught in his net, but the loss to Keno
sha people will be very small.

FOR CHEAP ICE.
Fifty-fOur Shares Of Stock Sub
scribed in Two Hours.
G. III. LangdOn Says People
Are Ready to Buy.
WILL MAKE IT A GO.
Mutual Ice Company Rapidly
Gaining Ground.
Says That It Can Be Delivered
at 20 Cents.
WILL MAKE IT A GO.

THE Mutual Ice company is not dead
or even sleeping but is alive and grow
ing daily and will soon be a giant trust
killer" said C. H. Langdon. who is
fathering the idea, this morning.
1T has been reported by some of the
ice trust friends he continued. that
my scheme for a mutual ice company
has met with disastrous defeat. That
the subscription list left at the Com
mercial club has received only II calls
for shares of stock after being there
three weeks The list was left there
one week ago yesterday and IN ~
hours II shares were subscribed.
Il have been confined to my house by
illness and only got down town for the
first time yesterday and took subscrlp-
lions for 81 shares of stock IN two
hours, in one block on Kansas avenue
Pretty lively old corpse for a defunct
company
II have been waiting for some facts
and figures from different ice machine
manufacturers in the east who have
built machines for the Armour and
Swift packing companies, and who have
built plants at Hutchinson, Wichita,
Dallas and who own and operate their
own plants in the southwest. They
have made the following proposition:
''They will put in a plant to make 40
tons Of ice every "a hours for $4,000; or
q 60 ton plant Tor %4O,UuU or q AUV Ton
plant for $4,000. This includes every
thing ready to begin work, with the ex-
ception Of the cost of the ground on
which the plant will be built. They al
SO gave me the cost Of making ice with
each capacity plant, computing the
price of coal at $2.25 per ton.
i will show these figures and their
statement to anyone who is interested
According to their statements can
guarantee to make and deliver ice, If
we get the plant into operation in 25
pound deliveries at the rate of 20 cents
per hundred pounds.
You can figure the difference be-
tween 20 and As cents, the present price
of ice on % pound deliveries, from
May Is to October Is. It will be a saw
ing of nine dollars and thirty-seven
cents
"A share of stock will cost ten dol
lars. Then the actual cost of one share
at the end Of the season would be So
cents. The surplus ice may be sold to
those outside the concern at an estab-
lished rate and thereby the sharehold-
ers will derive a dividend from their
stock"
Subscription lists are out in a dozen
different places. Those who do not
want their names to appear on the
subscription list may obviate this by
addressing q letter to Mr.. Langdon at
1895 Tyler street, signifying the number
of shares wanted. A great many
prominent men have already signed the
subscription list under these conditions.
mo one man or clique" said Mr..
LangdOn, will ever gain control of the
stock or manipulate it to their advan-
tage. This is intended to benefit the
many and not the few"

DR.. Koch's Demonstration Means
Preventive Measures.

Philadelphia. July 24.-Dr. Lawrence
+. Flick, former president of the Penn
sylvania Society for the Prevention of
tuberculosis and president of the Free
Hospital for Poor Consumptives, when
asked for his views on the subject of
tuberculosis, said:
THE greatest benefit that will accrue
from DR. Koch's demonstration, IL he
has demonstrated what has been an
nounced, will be the direction of pre-
ventive measures along the right chan
nels. The government of this country
has expended energy for the extermi-
nation of tuberculosis among cattle
with view of preventing the spread
of the disease in human beings, but
has done very little toward preventing
the spread of the disease from one
human being to another.
with a clear demonstration that the
disease can not spread from animals
to human beings, it is likely that the
governments efforts viii be turned
into the channels of providing SANTA
rum treatment for the consumptiYe
poor, which will strike at the very root
of the evil by preventing contact be-
tween those i'll with tuberculosis and
their healthy relatives"

WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
Scientists Are Disposed to Accept
Prof Koch's Statements
Buffalo. N. r.. Nay ! to Nov. l.

New York, July 24--Regarding the
cable messages from London that Prof
Kock of Berlin has made the state
ment that he has demonstrated that
meat and milk from cattle infected by
tuberculosis might be consumed with
impunfty. DR.. William T. jenkins,
health commissioner, said last night
that Prof. Koch's statement upset all
the theories of the health department
regarding the destruction of the dis
eased cattle
I'VE have recognized the fact" said
Commissioner jenkins. that meat can
be used from tuberculosis cattle, and
instead OF destroying the whole carcass
as was formerly done, parts of it may
be used Cooking viii destroy any
germs. We have had an idea that milk
still hold to that theory. Whatever
Prof. Koch says L would be inclined to
believe. but I would like to see his en-
tire article on the subject"
DR. F. NJ. Jeffries, director of the
laboratory of the New York Polytechnic,
said the natural assumption has been
that the bacillus causing tuberculosis
in cattle would likewise cause tuber-
efforts had been put forth to contend
with the presumed infection from cat
tie by meat and milk
DIR. Jeffries' impression was that
Koch himself asserted that tubercu-
losis could be produced in man from
infected meat or milk.
Personally" the doctor went on, II
am not ir elined to make much out OF
this statement of DR.. Koch. OF course,
if it can be thoroughly demonstrated
that tubercular material in meat and
ilk is incapable of producing tuber-
culosis in man it will greatly reduce
the amount Of work to be done in our
efforts to do away with tuberculosis in
man. Koch said he could cure con-
sumption with his lymph, and we take
this statement Of his with a grain of
salt /"
