Special to the Record.
Washington, Sept 6.-After
long and distinguished military
record, covering period OF more
than forty years, Surgeon Gen
eral William H. Forwood OF the
army will be placed on the re-
tired list tomorrow by operation
of the age limit. General For
wood succeeded to tho head OF
the medical department OF the
army three months ago on the
retirement of Brigadier General
Sternberg. He is a native OF
Delaware and graduate Of the
medical department of the uni
versity OF Pennsylvania. In
1851 he was appointed a surgeon
in the regular army, and his ser
vice in the civil war was marked
not only by his skill and devotion
to his work, but by dash and
gallantry that won the admira-
ton of all those with whom he
served. His GOODNESS under fire
was remarkable, and it is said
of Gen. Forwood that he admin
| listered 10 the wounded when
shot and shell were falling
around him with as much skill
as though he was behind the ewalis
of a hospital.
One of the most interesting
incidents Of Gen. Forwood S ca,
lreer is his capture by Mosby S
men, in company with the regi'
mental commander and two or
derlies. Surgeon Forwood re-
| fused to accept the parole offered
| and demanded to be released OF
his rights as medical officer
To this demand his captors pait
no attention, and Lne young uoc
tor was turned over to guart
t, be senttosom e interior prison
L pas stag through "a dense for
es5o of y. u"g pines Forwood broke
away from his cal'tors and made
a dash for liberty. Despite th'
! fact that every effort to capture
him was made he succeeded IL
gerting away.
When the.epidemic Of choler'
broke out at Fort Riley in lo6'
he was the only medical office:
at the post, and his untiring et
forts and the skill with which h'
confined the disease to certall
area will always be remembered
by those who served with hin
during that terrible period.

the governor of Kansas is afraid OF
the saloon politicians and the immense
immunity fund provided by the saloon
keepers of a prohibition state. His
generalization when Mrs Nation ap-
peared before him and asked him some
blunt questions revealed the complete
subjugation of even the highest Kan

stomach was in rebellion, but he did
not complain. He was here for the
Americans and he made thousands
and hundreds of thousands of admir-

be. There is nothing We really ad-

Henry is a sportsman through and

him, but he wore an expression Of de-

His visit was the result of Emperor

no doubt that the friendly feeling it

BIG FACTORY SEEKS LOCATION
New York Firm Seeks Site for the Erec-

New York Firm Seeks Site for the Free
ton of Large Plant,
A. E. Buckmaster, president of the
defunct Kenosha Business Mems AS
ISOLATION, is in receipt of letter from
the manager of the Northwestern
railway company asking the Business
Mems Association to make an effort to
locate new factory in this city. The
factory is the "Iron CLAD Manufacture
ing Company" now located at No 2, q
and 8 Cliff street, New York, and it is
considered the biggest thing of the
kind IN the United States.
The company is now looking for a
Western location and as the North
Western company is very anxious to
locate the plant on one of its lines the
management have decided to give the
city Of Kenosha the first chance at the
plum. It is possible that the company
will make large demands on the city
IN which the plant is located, but as
the plant is now employing more than
sixteen hundred people thestown which
manages to locate it will certainly be
we'll paid for all the energy and money
expended in securing it.
The company is engaged in the man
ufacture Of range boilers, milk cans,
soda water tanks, steel barrels, and
drums and galvanized and enamel
wares of every description. 1t is now
doing an annual business of gseven
million dollars year, and as the trade
is largely in the west the management
has decided to remove the plant to this
section of the country.
The opportunity to secure a good
paying business for Kenosha seems to
be good one and it would be well for
the members of the Kenosha associa-
ton to at least give the matter some
consideration.

Managers Of the First Congregational
Church Secure the Services of
Rev. Edgar 7. FarrilI.
CALL WAS A UNANIMOUS ONE.
New Minister now at Lebanon, N. H. Where
College Seventeen Years Ago.

The Rev. Edgar T. Farri1l, pastor
of the First Congregational church at
Lebanon, New Hampshire, will be
the new minister of the First Congre-
gationa1 church, in this city, to sue
coed the Rev. H. S. Roblee, who was
called to the church at st. Joe, Mich,
some three months ago.
A unanimous call was extended to
Rev. Mr.. Farrill Friday night by the
members of the church and there is
little doubt but that the call will be
accepted and Mr.. Farrill will begin his
la bors in his new pastorate about the
first of November.
The church has been without min.
lister for the past four months and in
the meantime many ministers have
been in charge of the pulpit. The
new minister is pretty we'll known to
the Kenosha congregation as he has
been in charge of the work here for the
past two weeks and has given satisfac-
ton to all members of the church.
Mr.. Farrill is man we'll known in
Congregational circles in ali parts of
the country. He is forcefu1 orator
and brilliant thinker. His ability as
minister is we'll known and he has
always been strong in keeping up the
work of his church. The new minister
is forty-fve years of age and has been
in the ministry seventeen years.
He is an Eastern man by birth and
he received his education at Brown
University at Providence. After 1eav-
ing the university he entered the
Theological seminary at Andover,
from which school he took second
degree. AS soon as he had completed
his college work he was called to the
pastorate of the church at Lebanon,
N. H., and he has been in charge of
the church for seventeen years. He is
very popular with his church and with
the people of Lebanon and they are
adverse to allowing him to accept the
call to Kenosha.
While Mr.. Farrill has made no
formal acceptance of the call to the
church he has given out that he will
accept and come to this city.
Mr.. Farri1l is married man and has
a family consisting of a wife, two
daughters and two sons. The new
minister and his family are promised a
warm welcome by the people of

Famous Waukesha Pipe Line Built During
aWorId's Fair Being Torn up.s aassESg3 n
A large force of workmen are at
work in the Western end of the county
digging out the remains of the old
Waukesha pipe line which was laid be-
tween Waukesha and Chicago at the
time of the opening of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition. The deal was
planned to be permanent one and it
was planned to furnish Chicago for all
time with the famous Wisconsin water.
But like the "Mississippi Bubble
the scheme fell through. Thousands
of dollars were expended in laying the
line and the managers weres of the
opinion that the line would be sold to
some eastern syndicate and the money
was not spared insputting in the pipes
and in spreading the glories of Wau-
kesha water. The water company has
probably profted by the advertising
received through the deal but the men
who laid the pipe lines are saddened
though wiser men. The line was never
paying investment and now the
steel pipe will be pulled from the
ground and sold for junk.

NEW RURAL ROUTE.
Salem People VIII be Blessed With Free
Delivery After November First.

SaA0in F0OpAe Will DE BLESSED With Free
Delivery After November First.
Announcement has been received
from Washington that a new rural
route will be added to the mail service
in Kenosha county on the first of
November, with its central station at
the village of Salem. The new route,
for which the carrier has not yet been
appointed, will extend the free de.
livery service to about three hundred
people.
This is the second rural route TO be
| established in the county during the
present year and it is expected that at
least two more routes will be added be-
fore the beginning of the winter
months. Petitions are now on file in
Washington asking for the esta blish-
ment OF other routes and it is expected
that the government will grant the
requests.
The opening of these routes is
proving of an educational value to the
people residing along them as they
have made it possible for the people of
the farming communities to keep in
touch with the outside world. With
the establishment of every route the
agents of the big Chicago and Mil
waukee papers have followed the post
man and with the offer of premiums
and presents they have managed to
put a daily newspaper into almost
every home along the route. In this
manner the farmer has been able to
secure his daily newspaper on the
same day it was issued. The forma-
ton Of the routes will probably finally
result in number of the smaller post
offices in the county being retired from
the list and several postmasters will be
left without an office.
During the last two or three years
several small Offices have been opened
in the county and as the patrons of
these Offices are now served bv rural
delivery it is probable that the Offices
will be cut off. Not a single rural
route has ever been established with
kenosha as the starting point. At the
present time there are several hundred
families outside of the city limits who
secure their mail from Kenosha, and
as all the people reside within a radius
of few miles plans are being made
to seek the appointment of a carrier
and ask that this territory be placed in
special route.
Such plan would greatly reduce
the work demanded of the clerks in the
postoffice and at the same time it would
not in any way diminish the business
of the Office.

MILK FAMINE THREATENED.

Great Falling off in Milk Supply Leaves the
Dealers Unable to Fill Orders.
There seems to be good reason to
believe that Kenosha county with it's
wealth of dairy interests will be visited
with something of a milk famine dur
ing the coming months and already
the milkmen who sell the tactical fluid
in Kenosha are complaining on &C
count of the scarcity Of milk in the
city. For several weeks the supply
has been steadily diminishing, and
while this has probably been in some
way relieved by the addition Of an ex
ira portion of water, the mil -nen now
declare that it is Impossible to secure
milk enough to supply their custom
ers. Many of the milk dealers in the
city have been in the habit of pur-
chasing their supply from the milk
stations in the city and county, but
these stations are no longer able to
supply more than half the amount
demanded.
The same falling off is noted in the
amount of milk that is being shipped
from the county to Chicago. Farmers
have been seeking for reason for the
falling off in the milk product and it is
claimed that it is caused by the feed
that is being secured for the cattle this
season. The food is said to be very
poor for the production of milk.
If the scarcity of milk continues it is
probable that the farmers will be
forced to import milk from other cities
to supply the Kenosha trade.
