OBITUARY.

Phoebe Ann Jones was born in
Haverill, N. H., Feb 6, 1922. She
came to Wisconsin in 1850. At first
she made her nome with her brother.
G. ]. Jones, at Burlington. Later she
lived with her brother Joseph at F>on
du Lac, where she was married in 1853
to Thos. c. Udell, She soon moved to
the latter's farm in the town of Salem
where she resided until about a year
ago. she moved to the village of Will
mot. Mr.. Udell died about 20 years
ago and since that time she has been
comforted and cared for by their only
child, Carrie L. the wife of Mr.. Geo.
Faulkner.
After severe attack of pneumonia
of scarce weeks durat ton, during
which everything that medical skill
could command and the ministrations
OF love suggest were alike without
avail, she died as peacefully as she had
lived, April z, 1902.
The funeral services were held at the
beautiful residence of her daughter and
son-in-law with whom she made her
home, and were beautiful and impress
sive in their simplicity. The services
were conducted by the Rev. C. r.
Montague of the M. E. church, assisted
by the Rev. Jno. Todd, of the Baptist
church. The sermon was from the
beautiful words of Psa. 116:15, "Pre-
cious in the sight of the Lord is the

furnished by picked quartet who sang
effectively, Abide With Me, "Jesus
Saviour, Pilot Me" and "Meet Me
There The spacious rooms were
filled with large company of mourn
ers and friends. The floral tributes
were profuse and of rare beauty. After
the services were concluded she was
laid away at rest, beside the remains of
her husband, in Liberty Cemetery.
Of her life and character it can be
said with truth that no eu1ogy could be
excessive. A christian of the highest
type who followed Christ and not
creed, her blameless life was an exposi-
ton of the teachings of her Lord; her
character q manifestation of a soul
that is 9 hid with Christ ia Cod
She loved peace and quiet and GER
tainly among the peacemakers she was
the daughter Of God. Charitable in
thought and deed she was ever ready to
minister to those in distress, while to
those whom it was her duty to serve
she was always faithful and kind. I'm
ostentatious in all she did she seemed
to desire her portion with the poor in
spirit and the meek and to them is the
heritage of the earth and the posses
Stop of the Kingdom of heaven. Her
memory will Away be an inspiration
to live as she lived and love as she
loved. She has gone to her great re-
ward and the Great Shepherd of Souls
who knoweth his sheep by name hath
brought her safely within the fold.
Let us strive to meet her in that land
where there is no more sorrow or death,
where partings are over, and where
"God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes,"

THE Danish upper house still refuses
to ratify the treaty providing for the
sale of the Danish West India islands
and it is now proposed to submit the
whole question to p1ebiscite of the
islands. Sentiment in the islands is
largely in favor of the sale, and, if the
ratification of the treaty is made con-
ditiona1 upon the consent of the inhab-
itants of the islands to the transfer of
sovereignty, there is no doubt of the
ultimate ratification of the treaty.

superintendent Farridy, of the Powdez
Mills Says Men Were Discharged.

Superintendent Farridy, of the
Latin & Rand Powder Works, was in
Kenosha Tuesday afternoon, and in
speaking of the recent labor troubles
at the plant stated that there had bee n
no strike at the plant as had been re-
ported. He stated that the whole
trouble arose over the fact that six
teen men had been discharged by the
managers of the plant Four of these
men have been re-employed as labor
ers at lower wages and the remain
ing twelve have been left out of en-
p1oyment. In regard to Rthe call for
deputies, Mr.. Farridy stated that on
Sunday eveningswhen he had arrang-
ed to put men from other parts of the
mill in the powder room some of the
men who had been discharged threat
ened these men, "and ia order to as
sure the men that they would be fully
protected against the discharged men,
he had asked that number of deputies
be sent to the plant.
Several of the 'men'who were alleged
to have been strikers have already left
Pleasant Prairie and it is thought the
other troubles makers will leave in a
few days.

cANKER SORE MOUTHS IN YOUNG PIGS

From inquiries received at the Wis
consin Experiment Station it is evil
dent that the swine raisers are losing
many of their young pigs by disease
known as 'canker sore MOUTH This
appears to be very prevalent in many
sections, and is quite fatal where
measures are not taken promptly to
apply suitable remedy. The disease
is evidently infectious in character
and attacks young pigs any time from
birth until six weeks old.
The symptoms are as follows: Large
water blisters appear on the lips and
snout, rapidly succeeded by much heat
and swelling of the parts, and later
thick brown scabs appear which open
into deep cracks. Those scabs extend
over the face, head, and in extreme
cases even to the body and limbs, the
joints of the latter becoming much
swollen and infamed. Ulcers form
about the snout and jaws, eating the
flesh from the bones. The pigs show
dizziness, a disinc1ination to move,
often refuse to suck1e or do so in a very
ha1f-hearted manner.
To be effective, the treatment should
be prompt and thorough. Prepare a
solution of permarganate of potash,
which Ca be had at any drug store,
using one ounce of the crystals dis
solved in one gallon of water in a COM
mon pail. The young pigs should be
dipped head foremost in the solution
and kept there for brief time. Re-
peat this two or three times, giving
the pig time to catch its breath in the
intermissions. This treatment given
every day for three or four days, will
effect cure if the trouble is not of
long standing. In extreme cases
where ulcers and scabs have formed
about the jaws and nose of the pigs
use two ounces Of the permanganate
to one gallon Of water, and before dip
ping remove all the dead and loose It's
sue that has been eaten away. The
sow's udder should be bathed freely
with the solution each day.
Remove the SOW and pigs to fresh
quarters if possible, and see to it that
other successive 1itters are not farrow-
ed in the pen where the affected pigs
we're housed until it has been thorough
1y disinfected. Benefit will also be de-
rived from laxative given the sow;
pint of raw linseed oil in her slop or in
milk will be suitable.

The Council Monday night unani-
mously confirmed the new Mayors APP
pointment of Henry III. Timme to be
Chief of Police. A better choice could
not have been made. The new Chief
has served as Sheriff of the county,
and while occupying that Office made
an enviab1e reputation. Against him
nothing can be said. The Office of
Chief of Police will be no sinecure for
some time and it will take a strong
mans best efforts to place the force in
condition for effective work. All but
two of the men on the force are new to
the business and it will take some time
for them to become accustomed to the
work, but even at their worst they
could scarcely be more inefficient than
their predecessors. In justice to some
of the retiring officers it is only fair to
say that they claim their neglect
of duty was due to direct orders
from headquarters, and they would
probably have done better work if
they had felt that their efforts to en-
force the laws and ordinances of the
city would have been appreciated in
high places. For the last year, and
particularly during the last few
months, political pull has been para
mount at police headquarters. No
man on the force could make an arrest
and expect to land his man if the Of
fender was supposed to be able to help
"our party" in any way. In some
cases the officers making arrests claim
that they were instructed not to APP
pear against the offenders and that the
cases were dropped without even an
examination. No man, however good
his intentions, could do good work un-
der those conditions. We hope and
believe that all this ''pu1l" bust
ness, which is so demoralizing to the
force, will be eliminated under the ad-
ministration of Mayor Pfennig. A
majority of the Council voted for prac-
tica1ly new police force, showing
conc1usively that they did not approve
of the operations of the old force as a
political machine and that they were
prepared to support movement for
better police protection for the city.
The new Chief can go ahead and do
his work without showing any par
TALLY to any particular set of often
ders and be sure that his efforts to en-
force the law without favoritism will
be backed up by the administration
and by a majority in the Council.
That his efforts will be appreciated by
the people generally goes without
saying.
