Raise End of BRIDGE.

At present the west end of the bridge
is several inches lower than the east
end. This difference is to be done
away with by raising the west end
This will be done without interrupting
the traffic. The old wooden piling
which has formed the support for the
trestle work on each side of the
bridge. is being removed, and instead
there is being built about eighteen SOL

slowly digging channel down through

force of the water running down
through it will wash away the remain.
der OF the bar and greatly widen the
river channel.
The Big Levee.
On the east side of the river, starting
at the end of the fill where the trestle
work begins, contractors are at work
with force OF men ana about twenty
teams building levee, which extends
| almost straight north to the foot of the
high ground nearly half mile away.
This levee will be nearly fourteen feet
high at some points, and is being built
strong enough to resist the spring
foods. To get free right OF way for
| this work, it was necessary for the
company to buy large tract of land
upon which to build it's levee. When
completed this levee will protect the
Keb track, and will prevent the water
coming down against the north side
| of the main line between that
| point and the west side of Ottumwa.
Roadmaster W. J. Calvin is in
charge of the work of track elevation
and he is hopeful that by the time the
| floods of next spring come he will have
his work far enough along to prevent
| any serious Interference with traffic.

The full report Of the ottumwa office

The postoffice scandals as uncover
cd by the Bristow report have arous-
ed much comment among congress
men Machen and Beavers had in
gratiated themselves among the mem
bers OF tie house and senate in a hun
dred ways. They were the two men
to whom the congressman had to go
for favors and Machen especially dur
ing the last few years had put many
men in his debt because he had the
rural delivery department under his
care.
ut does seem strange that men
would do such things" said Major La
cey the other day Both Beavers and
Machen were the incest sort of chaps.
When you called on them they were
pleasant, polite and affable and every
body liked them. 1t seems rather
queer that man could carry on graft
ing through so many years without
being detected and yet, when you
think about it you see that Machen
was enabled to do this because he was
satisfied with small profits. He never
got more than ten per cent from his
deals. If he had tried for larger
sum he might have been detected
years ago. OF course this scheme was
worse for the government because
when Machen secured ten per cent
graft the government was defrauded
out of a much larger sum. The graft
ers got in all between 100000 and
100000 but the amount which the
government has lost can hardly be
calculated"
Coincident with the arrival of Sir
Mortimer Durand, the new British am
bassador, this week, came the report
that the salary OF England's represent
tative in this country had been increas-

THE Mayor has made good selec-
tion for Kenosha's first Police and
Fire Commission. Every man on it
can be trusted to so administer the af-
fairs of the two most important de-
partments of the city government that
each will be credit 10 the city and to
the Commission. Political pull will no
longer cut much figure in either de-
partment, and as soon as the men be-
come convinced that their jobs are de-
pendent on the manner in which they
perform their duties and not on the
favor of some politician, great
change for the better will take place.
The change in the work of the Police
department should be particularly no.
ticeable. Few people have any idea of
the amount of harm done by the inter
ference of politicians in the work of
the department. No matter how good
a man an officer may be he can not do
his work we'll while he is handicapped
by the fear that every move he makes
may cost him his place. Favoritism
for certain violators of the law who
are said to be high in power politically
will no longer be tolerated by the Com
mission, and neglect of duty will now
be punished by the same penalties that
formerly attended its performance.
Instead of the police being expected to
Overlook the offences of certain in
dividuals, they will themselves be
overlooked by the Commission and
held to strict accounta bility for any
failure to treat all violators of the law
exactly alike. The appointment of
the District Attorney on the Commits
sion was good move on the part of
the Mayor: for the duties of his Office
give him an especially good oppor-
tunity to judge of the work of the po-
lice officers, and the fact that the Dis
trict Attorney is also member of the
Commission, and therefore in a posi-
ton to punish any neglect of duty on
the part of officers in the way of secur-
ing evidence will result in making the
police careful to see that they have a
good case before they take any action,

And Fine Company to be Seen Here Next
Friday Evening.
A jolly event as we'll as one of ar
tistic significance will be the appear
ance here next Friday, April 3, of Al.
H. Wilson, the golden voiced singer.
in that new romantic play GA Prince
of Tatters," q tale of old New York, by
Sidney r. Ellis. Mr.. Wilson's success
last season is after all his best adver-
tisement for the present engagement,
as Kenosha audiences appreciate what
is genuinely artistic and deserving. In
the character of Prince Hugo Won
Reppert, Mr.. Wilson's delicate humor
is forcefu1 at all times, and he can
grow pathetic when occasion demands
with charming tenderness.
GA Prince of Tatters" tells a most
interesting story, and its situations
are we'll conceived and finely executed.
The management, Messrs. Yale and
Ellis, have staged the play magnifi-
Gently, the production being carried
complete, while particular attention
has been paid to the costumes and
properties. Mr.. Wilson will sing six
new and catchy songs during the
action of the play. The success last
season of Mr.. Wilson will no doubt
prove a good advertisement for the
present engagement. Seats now on
sale at Tanners.

The Waterbury Troubles.

II labor troubles can be remedied by
legal processes, the turmoil which has
for some time existed in Waterbury,
Conn, ought within reasonable time
to be ended. It would appear that all the
law that could be brought to bear on
the situation has been invoked Not
only has the most sweeping injunc-
ton on record been issued against the
strikers, their abettors and sympathi-
zers, but civil suits for damages have
been brought by the Connecticut Rail
way company against the union of
street car employees and other unions
that have aided the strikers by fning
members who have ridden on the cars
since the strike began
Without going into any discussion of
the merits of the situation at Water.
bury, it is apparent that the communi-
ty has been in q state bordering on
anarchy. Whether the present appli-
cation of legal remedies will suffice
to restore peace and tranquility to this
hitherto prosperous and progressive
manufacturing town remains to be
seen.
The injunction issued by Judge Ell
mer Of the superior court of COnnecti-
cut and made returnable three weeks
from the date of issuance is unques-
tionably the most sweeping that has
ever been issued by the courts of this
country. The order names seventeen
labor organizations, their officers and
more than 100 individual members, all
of whom, as well as "all whom it may
concern" are forbidden to further in
terfere with the operation of the Con
necticut Railway company's car service
either by picketing, boycotting, intimi-
dation of employees or otherwise.
The civil suits against the unions or
their members for damages are similar
in character to the famous Taft Vale
railroad case. recently decided in Eng
land in which the employees union
was obliged to pay about $4,000 for
damages caused by strike. The Con-
necticut Railway company will I'M
doubtedly be able to show that it's
earnings have been seriously inter
fered with by reason of the strike, since
very few people, either from sympathy
with the strikers or fear Of boycott,
have lately patronized the road, but
whether the company will be able to
obtain judgments and make collections
thereon are other matters.
In view of the widespread attention
attracted by the deplorable situation in
Waterbury, the public will watch with
keen interest the pending legal pro-
ceedings, though it is hardly to be ex-
pected that this wholesale applies. ton
Of law will bring about complete in
dustrial peace.

Carnegie libraries have lately been
rejected by the voters of two commu-
mites in New York state-at Mamaro-
neck, in Westchester. and at Frankfort
in Herkimer county. The people in
both these towns say they want good
roads more than they want books
Roads no less than books are not mere
ly an adjunct, but a foundation Of civ
ilfzation. Having refused the books
it is only to be hoped that the good
people of Mamaroneck and Frankfort
will make it their serious business to
provide themselves with good roads.

DIR. Macfayden's Typhoid Antitoxin

DIR. MRcfaydenas Typhoid Antitoxin.
If, as announced by late London dis
patches, Or. Allen Macfayden has pro-
duced a typhoid antitoxin serum, an
other important step in advance has
been taken in the science of medicine
The character and standing of the man
making the experiments, now said to
be successful and the Endorsement of
his work by Lord Lister, who is known
and honored for his great service to
mankind in the promotion and estab-
lishment of antiseptic surgery, give
warrant for belief that DR.. Macfayden
has come within sight at least of re-
suits which promise great benefits to
the human race, though he may not
have discovered an unfailing remedy
for typhoid fever
Dr. Macfayden is director of the Jen-
ner Institute of Preventive Medicine
in London. He is a learned and capa-
BILE man, safely conservative and held
In high esteem by all who know him
or his work. The announcement will
therefore receive the respectful atten-
ton of the medical fraternity every
where
The report is that DR.. Macfayden has
found that by crushing the cells of the
typhoid bacillus in liquid air the inter
cellular juices are obtained without liv-
ing organisms and that these juices are
highly toxic Injected into living ami
mails, they produce a blood serum
which is effective as an antidote for
and destroyer of the poison general
ed by typhoid bacilli.
The typhoid fever epidemic at Ithaca
N. Y, is but single illustration of the
fatal character of this dread disease
1t is one of the most destructive of the
common maladies affecting the people
of this and European countries. The
value of a typhoid antitoxin would be
beyond estimate, and if it has beer
found by DR.. Macfayden he may wei
be hailed as benefactor of the race.
