URGING KRUGER TO ACT.
Dnort Being Made, 1t Is Said, to In
duoe Him to Authorize Priva-
tsering in Behalf of Beers.

Brussels, July s.-The Petit Bleu
says that Mr.. Kruger has lately re.
fused to entertain proposals to arm
privateers, but that the promoters
are again urging the former presi-
dent of the South African republic
to notify the powers that unless they
intervene he will issue letters OF
marque. In the event of Mr.. Kru-
gers continued refusal the promot-
ers propose to act without authori-
cation.
Washington, July s.-The report
from Brussels that former President
Kruger is being urged to notify the
powers that unless they intervene in
the South Africa contest he will COM
mission privateers is not treated
seriously here.
1t is well understood, as one out.
come of the war with Spain, that
the United States government will
never again, except in the most ex-
traordinary emergency, issue letters
of marque, and the same reasons that
tmpel the government to this course
undoubtedly would operate to prevent
our government from recognizing any
such warrants issued by any other
nation, even were that nation in full
standing.
The threat to send out privateers
without President Kruger's consent
Is idle. 1t is pointed out here that
such craft would be pirates pure and
simple and the civilized world would
sweep them off the seas If they
should begin operations against tbs
commerce of the nations.

The heavy rain the 4th has made

Frank Martinez came home
from Chicago to celebrate the glori-
Gus 4th; he leaves again this week.
The 4th was celebrated the usual
way In our'burg by dancing and base
ball playing. There was quite large
crowd considering that all the adjoin-
Ing towns had celebrations The ball
game which probably had'drawn most
of the people was tame and one sid
ed affair. Jackson Junction VS.. Saude,
both teams had hired players hut the
Jackson boys had five OF the Fit. At
kinson players, Martnik for pitcher,
which decided the game from the
start; the score was 70 to go In favor
/. Jackson. We are informed that a
stake of 1926 was played for.
The small pox craze which has been
around Waucoma and Jackson juno
tfon is spreading toward Lawler. A
young man who is said to be affected
with the disease living near the juno
, ton and who was under tine,
went to the Junction and got on a
good booze, then went to Lawler and
stayed there day or two, visiting
many people has caused an excitement
and no doubt should he appear again
would be in danger OF getting in
! trouble. The places where he visited
, are quarantined.
The board of health of Utica twp.
was called to meet Saturday evening
to quarantine some of the farmers
whom the young man had visited.
Big wind on the 4th took down Kale-

A Specified Complaint.

MIR. EDIToR:-In my complaint to
the County Supervisors, I selected
three herds of cattle to have inspected
by the State Veterinary. From one
herd to my personal knowledge
knew of several lunches ofsickly look
Ing cattle being brought to the yards
and part of them died in the yard and
some of them were condemned in
Chicago as diseased cattle and were
sold at Gamer cattle prices there.
Yet they were supposed to be pedi-
greed cattle and from information I
received from party that went to
this farm and killed and skinned
three head OF those same cattle the
past winter, and from the condition he
states he found them in and from
Information l received from the veter-
mary that treated some of those
cattle, drew my conclusions that
they were diseased and; from one of
the other herds that I saw on the
farm and the party interested in them
told me he had lost sixteen head out
OF MS drove and there was more f
them sick at the time and he wanted
the matter Investigated and the third
l will not mention at this time as
there is some litigation in regard to
them but from personal observation
drew my conclusions. Now in regard
to the action of the Board, will say
when I found out they were going to
play State Veterinary, invited them
to come and see some of those cattle
that claimed had some disease that
our local veterinary said was tubercu-
lesis, but they declined to see them
and instead went with one of the
parties complained of and he showed
them all of his cattle that appeared
all right. this was after he had several
killed and out of the way, and that
there was other complaints made to
the Supervisors while they were in
session here by parties having cattle
in adjoining pastures is a fact they
cannot deny and that our prosecuting
attorney took an active part In the
suppression of this investigation is
another fact they cannot deny. Now
will they give the people who elected
them an excuse why they don't do
their duty that the law requires Of
them and that they took an oath to
perform without fear or favor to any
one. In regard to Mr.. Moore,s arti-
Gle will say it is all rot; first, they try
to make the people believe that the
product of diseased cattle is harmless
and then that they know more about
diseased animals than men that have
made life study of diseases and their
cause and effect on the human being,
1t has been demonstrated that men
can write anything for pay and that
they will do most anything for the
same cause. They seem to find great
fault with the authorized test. Why
don't they find better one If they
know so much about the one SO uni-
Yersally used? They would make
fortune out of it instead of farming
and do it much easier. Now IL the
above facts don't show any indication
of disease, let US know what does!

A NOVEL SPECTACLE,
Machinists March in Body to omoe
of Marshal to Receive Service
of Injunction.

Cincinnati, July s.-Anovel spectacle
was presented in the United States
district court when 70 striking machin-
lists, who had been enjoined by the or
der OF the court, marched In body to
the Office of the United States marshal
for the purpose Of faoilita ting the sery-
ice upon them which the marshall wa
bound to make. AS the name Of each
one was called he stepped forward and
received copy of the injunction and
his subpoena in chancery. The machin-
lists lodges were served through their
presidents. The stikers voluntarily
took this course, realizing the difficulty
Of finding their members, some Of
whom are in camp. They desired In
this way to give proof Of their intsn-
ton to obey the law.

Still another recent advance Step which
merits approval Is the election Of Rev.
Clarence E. Eberman to the post of field
secretary. new position created to meet
the onward sweep of Christian Endeavor.
For many years the need of such an official
to give his whole time to the field has been
great. While the executive officers Of the
united society will probably spend as much
time In the field as ever. 1t is a matter for
general congratulation to know that we
can now have the aid of field secretary.
More and more is Christian Endeavor
becoming an evangelistic agency for
Christ. In ALL 10000 young people have in
the last IL months Joined the church from
