May Be Weak. One
Person in Four Has
a Weak Heart.

One Of the surest signs of weak
heart is shortness of breath after exercise.

Some of the other symptoms of Heart
Trouble are: Pains in the Side, Back
and Shoulder; Painting or Weak Spells;
Dry Cough; Swelling of Feet and Ankles;
Cold Feet or Hands.
No one can afford to allow a weak
heart to go without medicine, because
weak heart means poor circulation, and
poor circulation means weak lungs,
stomach, liver. kidneys. etc.

begin taking DIR. Miles New Heart Cure.
The HSart Cure will do you good, as 1t Is
a splendid tonic for the blood and nerves,
and will revitalize your entire system.

TO BUY THE PLANT.
Plant Of Citizens Telephone Com.
pany to be Sold to Local
Company on Jan. |.
PRICE STATED AT 100000.

It is reported this afternoon that
negotiations are being closed up for
the sale of the plant Of the Citizens
Telephone and Telegraph company to
a local company The price is to be
500, 600 and the transfer Of the prop
erty is to be made about January 1.
The persone11e of the company which
is to handle the deal has not been
made public but it is known that sew
era1 of the best known capitalists in
the city are backing the scheme.
]. w. Johnson, the local manager
for the company, was seen this after
noon, and in speaking of the matter
he said: ''It is more than probable
that the plant will change hands
about the first of January and it will
follow up the original plan of going
into local hands. am not at liberty
at this time to give out the names Of
the men who are negotiating for the
purchase of the plant, but they are
all well known capitalists and they
have an abundance of money with
which to swing the plant. It was
never the intention of the present
managers to continue in Kenosha, as
our business is the building of te1e-
phone plants and we will begin work
in some other city at once. The Citi-
zens' company now has eight hundred
paying subscribers in the city and the
men who are negotiating for the pur-
chase of the plant are convinced that
the investment will be a paying one.'
The company has just completed a
statement of the stock and indebted
ness of the plant for the prospective
purchasers, It is understood that there
will be little profit in the plant for
the present owners as it has cost them
in the neighborhood of 100000.

Tax Paid by The Interurban Rail-
way Increased by So Over
The Last Year.
BIG INCREASE IN EARNINGS.
Report However Shows That the
Greater Amount of the Increase
in Tax is Paid to Racine and
Milwaukee Counties.

The county Of Kenosha will receive
$213.34 from the Milwaukee Light,
Heat and Traction company this year
for the use of the roads in the town of
Somers as road beds for the Mi1wau-
kee, Racine and Kenosha Electric
Railway company. The amount of
tax to be paid is little less than So
greater than the tax paid last year,
and Notwithstanding the fact that
the company's report shows large
increase in business during the year
which closed on the first of the
month, the increase is mostly credited
to Milwaukee and Racine counties,
and Kenosha county gets little of the
benefit.
The company states in its report
that its actual mileage in Kenosha
county is 5.25 miles and on this mile
age the license is computed.
The company fails to make any
statement of the number of passengers
carried over this end of the line, but
from the report it would appear that
the number was much smaller than
had been expected.
The total of the state license of the
company to be paid in the three coun-
ties entered by the company is but
So, 1910, and the largest amount is
paid to Racine county. Of course the
road passes through Racine county
from north to south and the mileage
in that county is placed at over
fifteen miles.
The tax in Kenosha county will of
course all go into the Golfers of the
town of Somers. The following is
the report of the taxes of the traction
company. This is based on earnings
from the traction company to the
amount of $456, 297. OF.
The statement follows:
State of Wisconsin, Milwaukee
County, SIS: John I. Beggs, being duly
sworn, deposes and says that he is the
president and general manager of the
Milwaukee Light, Heat and Traction
company, and that the following is a
true statement, as required by law, of
the gross cash receipts derived from
the operation of the railways /. and
electric lighting plants of the Mil
waukee Light, Heat and Traction
company for the twelve months i'm
mediate1y preceding December l.,
1904, viz:
Gross cash receipts railway system, $379, 60344;
tax at per cent, ST. 92.O7.
Gross cash receipts lighting system, $40, 693.57;
tax at per cent, 81, 53387.

ANY one who is at all familiar with
the records of the justice courts knows
that there is field for the work of a
branch of the Humane society here in
Kenosha. It is not a pleasant thing
to know that we need a branch of the
society in our city, but it is fact that
we do and now is the time to get it.
The people of the city should see to it
that an application for charter is
made at once. Cases are constantly
being brought to the attention of the
police and are continually coming up
in the justice courts that could be bet
ter handled by an agent of the HUI
name society than any one else, and
such an officer with the moral sup
port of the Humane society behind
him, could do vast amount of good in
Kenosha.

kenosha Survivors of Civil War
to Have the Pick Of Home
steads in Minnesota.
SIX CLAIMS HAVE BEEN FILED
The Government Takes This Plan to
Pay the Debt to the Soldiers for
Services During the Civil War.
Agent is in this City Today.

JIG. Edwards, of Spooner, Mime
sofa, land agent, is in the city today
taking the applications of Kenosha
survivors of the civil war for home
stead rights in the Red Lake reserva-
ton, which will be thrown open for
settlement in the early spring. Six
Kenosha soldiers and widows Of de-
ceased soldiers have already filed
claims, and it is thought that more
than fifteen claims from this county
will be filed before the close of the
present month. The claims of the
soldiers will have preference at the
opening Of the new lands, which will
take place in the spring.
It is claimed that the Red Lake res
ervation is the only piece of timber
land in the United States remaining
for settlement. For more than fifty
years the Red Lake tribe of Indians
have managed to keep their hold on
the land, although the lands sur
rounding it have long since passed
into the hands Of the government.
The tract to be opened, which is
expected to furnish homesteads for
Kenosha soldiers, is hundred miles
square. In this large tract of land
each of the soldiers will be allowed to
select homestead of 100 acres of
land, and it will be given to them
practically free by the government.
The expense connected with the
claiming of the land is in the neigh
borhood of $25, and it is not even nee
essary for the soldiers and their wild
ows to go to the land to claim it when
it is opened.
This is the first time that the Keno
sha survivors of the civil war have
taken an active interest in the open
ing Of new homestead lands, but it is
expected that large colony of them
will go to Minnesota to make their
homes when the big reservation is
opened.
It is claimed that the land in the
Red Lake district is superior to any
along the Canadian border, and the
portion of it that is opened is now a
garden spot. It is rich in timber and
it is claimed that before it is opened
railways will be built to the very bor-
der.
Among the Kenosha soldiers and
soldiers widows who have applied for
claims are ]. c. White, John o.
Know1ton, Mrs. Fred Joerndt and
Mrs. Sarah F1uskey.

A simple remedy for that prolonged

severe cold is always at command, and
that is deep breathing. Warm drinks

fresh air will feed the internal fires

warmth simply by setting the blood in

The following editorial from the
Chicago Inter Ocean shows how the
factiona1 struggle within the repub-
1ican party in Wisconsin is regarded
outside the state.
Gail sorts of political rumors come
from Wisconsin. One day Governor
La Toilette is said to seek the seat of
Senator Quar1es. The next he is said
to seek that of Senator Spooner.
AS to his own aims Governor La
Toilette is vague, probably because
he is too astute to say what he wishes
until he knows what he can do.
Through all this hurry -bur1y emer-
ges one truth on which the people of
Wisconsin should fix their minds.
This is that the people of the United
States want and need the Hon. John
c. Spooner in the Senate.
There are other Senators who have
greater special knowledge of some
subjects. But Senator Spooner is
generally recognized as the one who
has the widest and most comprehen-
sive grasp of public questions and the
greatest ability to deal with them on
the broadcast lines of American states
manship.
1t is no hattery, but the simple
truth, to say that John c. Spooner is
today the greatest intellect in the
Senate, and witha1 is man whose in
tegrity is unstained. These facts are
universally admitted by his colleagues
and the public. They have never been
questioned by anyone save neurotic
magazine publisher in New York, who
already has been branded liar by
Senator Spooner's worst enemy in
politics.
Because of these qualities John c..
Spooner is wanted and needed in the
Senate. 1t is the duty of the people
of Wisconsin as Americans to take
note Of the wishes of the people of the
United States, and SO adjust their To-
cal affairs that, whatever happens,
the Hon. John G. Spooner will remain
in the Senate living pillar of the
republic"

Every war in these latter days brings
up the explosive bullet yarn, first on

ample evidence from the battlefelds
and the hospitals Of the east that the
bullet wounds are small and clean,
which would not be the case with eX-
plosive bullets. A ball may be fat
tened on bone and make jagged
wound in the exit, and little pieces Of
shell make ugly wounds when they

THE prompt dismissal of the head
of the National Association of Rural
Carriers shows that the president is
determined to stop the attempts of
organizations of federal employees to
influence legislation. The discip1in-

service, and the action of the presi-
dent will be generally approved. If

Oil as q Fuel For Warships.

Oil as Fuel For Warships.
The report of the liquid fuel board
OF the United States navy, just pub
lished by the government, has attract
ed popular attention anew to the pos
sibility Of using petroleum in the fur
naces of our warships. The board has
spent over a year in study and expert
| yaentS. 1t finds that the engineering or
| mechanical feature Of the problem has
been satisfactorily solved and that the
| financial and supply features are the
only hindranceS to the use of crude
petroleum as standard fuel It's rec
ord Of the voyages of oil burning mer-
is bound to be more and more used as
marine fuel. The Oceanic Steam
ship company's steamer Alameda by
eight round trips between San Francis
co and Honolulu demonstrated that it's
oil fuel installation was perfectly safe
and economical The vessels average
time at sea was reduced several hours
by the use of oil, and more uniform
pressure in the boilers was maintained,
while the relative consumption of oil
as compared with an inferior grade Of
coal was / to 1.55. AS a ton of oil
costs less in San Francisco than ton
Of any kind Of marine coal, the saving
on the Alameda is evident.
Two voyages of the steamship Ne
braskan from New York to San Fran
cisco, using coal, and two voyages from
San Francisco to New York, using oil,
furnish an interesting basis for COM
parison between the two fuels Four
hundred and fifty-five tons space was
saved for cargo when oil was used.
Nine less men were needed in the fire
room, and the steamer saved three and
a half days time at sea. The financial
causes, was about $500 day.
Lieutenant Commander Arthur P.
Niblack, writing in a service magazine,
combats the boards assertion that oil
is more dangerous fuel than coal.
He admits that serious accidents on
oil burning German warships have been
narrowly averted, but attributes this
to the inferior quality of German oil
and to it's storage in double bottoms.
The Nebraskan carries it's oil insisolat-
ed tanks, and the fact that the under
writer's have not raised insurance rates
on the vessel seems to prove the safety
Of the system.
Practically all the ships of the Ital-
ian navy now use oil in conjunction
with coal, and the German battleships
Of the Brauenschweig type carry 200
tons of oil in their double bottoms.
Oil as an auxiliary to coal serves to
get up steam quickly and to keep up
full speed when the coal comes slowly
from the bunkers.
The universal use of oil as a naval
fuel would undoubtedly relieve naval
authorities of much of the anxiety
which the question of coaling stations
and coaling at sea now causes them.
The long voyage Of Russia's Baltic fleet
on neutral waters is case in point.
Fuel stations would not need to be so
numerous, and the oil carrying trans
port just completed by the German
government has shown that it is a SIM
pie process to transfer oil from supply
ships to war vessels in seas in which
coaling would be impossible.
