THE TAAL DIALECT.
Claimed to Be a Simplifcation of
High Dutch Language.

AS compared with High Dutch it is inf1n-
itely superior in one respect. In High
Dutch the genders of the nouns are heart
breaking to learn, more intricate even than
in German: in the Taal they have been
simplified almost as in English. Perhaps
the next point is hardly good; the Taal
has abandoned all distinctions of person
in the verb ito be-" To conjugate this
verb sounds. therefore, as if one should
say in English I is, thou is, he is, VIC
is, you is, they is. This new language also
employs the double negative. Hollanders
who condescend to notice the Taal at all
say this double negative came in through
contact with the French Huguenot set
as it comes to the man in the street,
through pure vulgarity and ignorance: Il
don't want nothing to do with it. The
Dutch have the Scotch fashion of using
diminutives for every noun; thus. for ex-
ample. bookie, cloclie, birdie are daily
represented in the Taal as boekje, orlosje,

OATMEAL MusH AND DIABETES.

Old Marshes of Pleasant Prairie to
be Reclaimed and Used by
Market Gardners
WHEN PEAT WAS USED AS FUEL
Beds Were First Brought Into Use by Cid
con TruesdeI But Had Been Aban-
doned for Many Years.

Another of the old traditions of Ke-
nosha county is destined to be thrown
into the whirlpool of oblivion, as it
is announced today that the Latin &
Rand Powder Company of Pleasant
Prairie, has leased to Samuel Fredson
the old peat beds of Gideon Truesde1l,
and in the early spring these old
marshes will be turned into beds for
the raising garden truck and be
made to rejoice and blossom as the
rose.
For more than thirty years the
marsky lands have been practically
abandoned. The coming of coal in
quantities and at a reasonable price
made the use of peat unnecessary and
so the old beds had been allowed to lie
dormant and worthless. With the
mention of these peat beds many peo-
pie in the county have ever smiled
freely and have considered the matter
as great joke, but the trenches which
are now being filled up with tile to
drain the land, show where the old
4dA AOAS VI tCd1S " I'LL LAO PCdts
The marshes of Pleasant Prairie
were first utilized by Gideon Truesdel1
who at one time owned nearly all the
land about the Pleasant Prairie sta
ton. In 1872 Mr.. Truesde1l cut a
large amount of peat from the marsh
and utilized it for fuel on his farm.
Since that time with every scarcity of
coal it has been a matter of talk to re-
open the peat beds. 1t is claimed that
sufficient peat lies buried under the
marshes to supply the entire county
with fuel.
With the lease of the land the secur-
ing the peats becomes impossible as
the new owner is planning to tile the
entire tract and this will prevent the
formation of new peat in the beds. It
is probable however, that the lease of
the land will result in the development
of a new industry for the town as many
of the farmers in the surrounding ter
ritory are planning to go into the
raising of vegetables.
The tract Of land is so situated that
the vegeta bles can easily be taken in
to the Chicago market, and it is
thought that in short time Kenosha
county will become one of the best
fields for the supply of the Chicago
trade.
It is claimed that this marshy land
is admirably suited for the raising of
garden truck, and there is sufficient of
the land to offer gardens covering hum
dreds of acres.
The gardens will be planted for the
first time in the spring, and if they
prove successful they will be doubled
during the coming year.

Rabid Animal Plays Havoc With Herds
and Droves in KenOsha and Racine
Counties During the Week.
MANY CATTLE BADLY BITTEN.
General Epidemic of Hydrophobia Among
the Cattle of the County lis Feared
and Farmers Seek Relief.
(From Fridays Daily .

Farmers residing in the towns of
Paris, Son1ers and Brighton and IN the
lower part of Racine county have been
sleeping on their guns awaiting a
chance TO kill a mad dog which is run
ming at large through the country and
which it is claimed is suffering from
hydrophobia. The dog made it's ap-
pearance several days ago and it is
thought to have come from Chicago.
1t bit several other dogs and attacked
the herds of swine and cattle of John
Terry in the town OF Paris. The dog
then took northward course and
nearly all the animals that were bitten
by it have shown unmistakable signs
of hydrophobia. The dog was finally
rounded up and killed yesterday near
the Terry farm and there is no doubt
but that it was suffering from rabies.
A day or to after the dog had bitten
the stock belonging to Mr.. Terry the
hogs and other animals became mad
and it was necessary to kill two OF
the hogs and it is feared that the re.
slaug One of the hogs while
suffering from hydrophobia attacked a
steer and young heifer and both OF
them went mad. 1t is feared that the
entire heard Of cattle is affected
The ravages of the mad dog have
caused no end of excitement and alarm
among the farmers of the district
passed over by the animal and it is
feared that many other cattle have
been bitten by the rabid animal. Some
of the farmers are seeking some RENE
dy that will serve as preventative of
hydrophobia as it is feared that many
cases will be discovered among the
different herds. After the dog had
done all the damagespossible in this
county he made straight break for
the north and invaded the farms just
over the Racine county line and played
havoc with a mum Der of other herds.
1t is claimed that more than forty
dogs were bitten before the mad dog
was killed and the greatest anxiety
prevails over the matter. Should these
dogs show any signs of madness they
will be promptly killed.
1t is fortunate fact that nothwith-
standing the wide territory pa ,sed ovsr
by the dog affected with the rabies
not a single person was bitten by him.
No reports have been received of the
dog attacking any person but many
people saw him attackin Or ca tile and
other dogs.

From Rig Sustains Serious Injuries
Miss Maude Hansen, daughter of
Jacob Hansen, a we11-known farmer
residing in the town of Somers, met
with a serious injury in runaway
accident just after O'Clock Friday
evening.
Miss Hansen had been in Kensha
doing Christmas shopping and just be-
fore she reached the village of Somers
the horse became frightened at pass
ing object and ran away. The young
lady was thrown violently from the
vehicle her body striking against a
tree on the side of the road. Another
vehicle was coming just behind the
runaway and the young lady was
picked up aud taken to her home just
north of the village. She was terribly
bruised but no bones were broken and
it is thought that she will be able to be
out again IN few days. The vehicle
in which she was riding was complete
ly demolished.

WAUKEGAN GETS GO BY.
Chicago, Elgin and Waukegan Road Fails
to Get Franchise in the Southern City.

Chicago, Elgin and Waukegan Road Fails
to Get Franchise in the Southern City.
By failure of its aldermen to act in
the matter Waukegan has proba bly,
lost all hopes of securing connection
with the proposed Chicago, Waukegan
and Elgin Railway company. The
company's franchise was not acted on
at the last meeting of the council and
it is now stated that it will be with
drawn. AS soon as the franchise is
withdrawn from Waukegan President
Arthur and his company will ask for
the right to make Kenosha the north
ern terminus of the belt line.
The Kenosha people have considered
this matter with great deal of inter
est and it is probable that the c., w. &
E. road would have little trouble in
getting it's license in this city. For
some time the people Of Kenosha have
been seeking competition in the way
of steam railway and this seems to
offer the long desired opportunity.
Many of the people of Waukegan
were very anxious to secure the road
for that city but it is claimed that the
road had been blocked by influential
citizens and that their influence forced
the council not to act on the franchise
ordinance.

IN little while the legislative saus-
age mill will be grinding out large
gobs of tax reform and primary cleo
tion law. The people voted for both
tax reform and primary election law
and have right to expect both. AS
for the primary election law, almost
any old kind of a law will do for a
starter. If the people don't like it they
will see to it that it is repealed or
amended in short order and no great
harm done. But tax reform is a differ
ent proposition. Once let the tax col
1ector get our money away from us on
some such fine haired scheme as was
worked in raising the assessed valua
tion without changing the fixed rate
of 'tone mill tax for school purposes"
and limiting the amount to be raised
under the law, and it is gone and gone
for good-or bad, just as you happen
to look at it. But it is gone any way.
The bulging browed statesmen of the
reform persuasion are not sitting up
nights planning how they can pay il
back to us. The way the mill tax mat
ter was handled let flood of light into
some dark places, and it is beginning
to dawn on the minds of some of the
taxpayers that reform which raises
taxes does not help them any. They
are reminded of the story of the noisy
cats that Cochems told in his cam paign
speeches, and are afraid that all this
yowling and caterwauling being done
on the roof of the temple of reform by
some of our busy politicians may mean
more taxes instead of less taxes. 1t
ought to be clearly understood before
the start is made that the only Kind of
tax reform that will be accepted as the
genuine brand is the kind that reduces
taxes. Any reform which increases
taxes will not be regarded as the real
thing

WILLIAM E. CURTIS suggests that
the best way to settle the Venezuelan
difficulties would be to have the Euro
pean powers agree to the appointment
of a receiver to be selected by the
United States, and entrust him with
the responsibility of collecting the
customs revenues of that country. 1t
is said that if Venezuela was honestly
administered a sufficient sum could be
collected in FIVE or six years to pay all
the outstanding obligations of the
country, making a liberal allowance
for the expenses of the gover4 ment.
If the receiver was also empowered to
arrest and fine all the revolutionists
for disorderly conduct the debts could
be paid off in much shorter period.

Building Loan and Investment Asso-

in the habit of making success of

that it is not going to prove an excep

stitutions of the city. Many Of our
most prosperous citizens owe their
first start in life to- the old Kenosha

STUDENTS ENTERTAINED
Mr. and Mrs. o. L. Trenary Entertain the

(From Saturdays Daily. !.

Students of College of Commerce
(From Saturdays Daily.)
The first term of the school year at
the College Of Commerce was brought
to fitting close last evening by a
party at Guild hail given by Prof. and
Mrs. Trenary in honor OF. the day and
night school students.
For those who did not dance cards
and other forms of amusements had
been provided.
At midnight a corps of walters
served refreshments.
After the repast music again COM
menced and the dancing was resumed
until the early hours of the morning.
When the merry party broke up the
students gathered in groups around
Prof. Trenary and his wife to thank
them for their kind entertainment.
This was scene long to be remem-
bered by those present. The numerous
hearty hand clasps and warm express
sions of friendship manifested in this
fitting climax is but a fair sample of
%OAOAIAOhS WAIAOA1 navy OGOh PoA
in raising the College of Commerce to
its present high standard and making
it what it is today-one of the foremost
business schools in the Northwest.
The management of the college have
every reason to feel proud of the pres
ent enrolment. Never before in the
history of the school has brighter or
more energetic class of students at
tended the institution. Over one hun
dred and twenty-five young ladies and
gentlemen are now receiving instruc
ton al the day and night sessions of
the school and many more have already
signi6ed their intention of enrolling
after the HOLIDAYS. Each department
is especially adapted to meet the wants
of its members. The shorthand sec
ton is we'll filled and from the high
class of students now attending will
be gradua ted several efficient stem
ographers. The bookkeeping and
other departments are also supplied
with a large and more progressive set
of members than ever before.
