The pollution of the water supply
may not amount to anything, and
again it may turn out to be very
serious matter. Anyway, this is no
time to neglect to take every possible
precaution to guard the health of the
city, and all water intended for drink
ing purposes should be boiled before
using. 1t is mighty unpleasant con-
dition of affairs any way you look at
it, and the worst of it is that there
does not seem to be any remedy at
present. It looks as if the water
commissioners were face to face with
The necessity of putting in new in
take pipe, and they might as we'll be
gin to prepare to meet the heavy ex
Pense of a new pipe at once. If an
unusual number Of cases of diseases
dine TO impure water begin to develop
in the city, the taxpayers will not per.
init the building of new intake to be
delayed longer than next summer al
the fartherest.

The county board has levied the
school taxes for the coming year and
if this is to be taken as an indication
of other taxes there will be Slight
increase for the tax PAYERS to meet
this wear. The taxes for school pur-
poses are slightly increased in all
towns save the towns of Pleasant
Prairie and Paris ard these towns
have been given a slight reduction.
The increase in the school tax to be
paid by the city of Kenosha is little
over a thousand dollars. The

MILLS RULE Is OVER
Report From Madison States Bur-
Iington Man Must Give Up Fat
Office as Oil Inspector

Announcement is made from circles
close to Gov. Davidson that there are
to be several changes of importance
in the heads of state departments
when the governor begins his new
term January l. Among the men
stated for retirement are:
j. d. Beck, commissioners of labor
statistics.
Jonas Swenho1t, state game and fish
warden.
E. E. Mills, state oil inspector.
The retirement of Swenholt and
Mills has been decided on absolutely.
Friends of Mr.. Beck are making a
very hard effort to retain for him his
position but have so far been given
little encouragement by the governor.
AS far as can be learned Swenholt
and Mills have been told that they are
certain to be dropped and that it
would be useless to make any efforts
in their behalf.
AS to the successors of the men
who are to retire from the state SER
vice, little can yet be said. Ex-
Deputy Game Warden E. ]. Tracy is
being mentioned as possibility for
Mr.. Swenholt's place. Whether he
will get the position cannot, however,
be said, and Mr.. Tracy when at Mad
ison lately, declared he was looking
for no appointment.
With the retirement of the heads
IS oeAS aaA
be some changes in the deputies,
Deputy Game Warden Michael Kleist
of this city is very anxious to hold
his present place and is making an
active canvass for retention. 1t is
understood that Deputy Labor Com
missioner Hagnah would be held
simply because of his familiarity
with the work. There has been some
talk also that he might succeed Beck,
but as he was Lenroot man in the
primary campaign this will probably
act against his appointment.
Should Beck be retired, however,
Hagnah might get Misplace because
of the work which he has done for
Gov. Davidson since the primaries, he
having been very valuab BILE to the gov
ernor in collecting statistics for use
by him in his statements as to the
work which had been accomplished
along various lines in this state.
Friends of Mr.. Beck are hoping
that he will be retained. They point
to the fact that he has been a very
hard working labor commissioner and
that under the law his term does not
expire until three years have elapsed.
None of the state officers elect have
as yet made any announcements as to
the appointments in their Offices.
1t is, however, understood that none
of the present deputies in any of the
state Offices who are not protected by
the civil service, will be likely to hold
their places. j. e. End, of Milwau-
kee, is candidate for deputy insur-
ance commissioners, and Thomas Pur-
tell, who is at present deputy insur
ance commissioner, would like very
much to get his old position of deputy
state treasurer back again.

WE had hoped that with the great
increase in the assessment the city
could get along this coming year with
enc per cent tax levy, but il appears
that the council does not think SO and
the aldermen and the school commits
sioners are the ones who spend the
money and know how much they have
got to have to run along with. The
schools are taking good deal Of
money, but the rapid growth of the
city has made increases necessary in
almost every department and while
the expenditures are mounting up
from year to year and more money is
paid in by the taxpayers, there never
seems to be much left to pay up old
debts with and the city keeps Just
about so far behind all the time It
is poor way to do business, but there
does not seem to be any help for it
with our present methods. The f.
nance committee of the council figures
that it will take approximately $780,
900 to run the city for the next year.
That is over $3.50 day for every work
ing day in the year, of which three
quarters is raised by taxation and
the other quarter from saloon IL
censes. 1t looks like good deal of
money, but if the taxpayers are sat
isfied with the way it is spent and be-
lieve they get full value for their
money there is nothing more to be
said.

THE board of supervisors wasted no
time in squabbling over petty politics,
but got right down to business in a
way that shows the affairs of the
county are going to be well looked
after if the board continues as it be-
gan. Che reduction of the commit
tees from three to FIVE members looks
to be good move and should ex-
pedite business. Certainly the county
makes money for every day the board
shortens up its sessions.

TO BUILD A GARAGE
Ben Stahl Having Plans Drawn for a
Modern Automobile Garage

Modern Automobile Garage
Kenosha is to have an automobile
garage, as Ben Stahl the well known
liveryman is now having plans drawn
for the erection of handsome place
for storing the autos. The garage
will be located near the Stahl barn on
Wisconsin street and it will be equip
ped with all modern appliances. The
building will be forty by eighty feet
and lin connection there will be a
repair shop. It is the plan o Mr..
Stahl to have regular men in charge
of the garage and he will seek to take
care of large number of the autos
owned in Kenosha
For some time there has been big
demand for such a place in Kenosha
and there is little doubt that the
venture will prove a successful one
from business standpoint.

The city FIRE department was called
out late Wednesday afternoon on ac-
count of serious fire on the Calkins

the FIRE had such good start that it
required two tanks of chemicals to
extinguish the flames. It is stated
that the FIRE was started by boys who

to the police and if the identity of the
boys can be discovered they will be

Shipping departments are limited in

Official crop reports covering condi-

age has since reduced the yield of
cotton and caused a violent rise in
prices. To this fact is due some ir-
regularity in trade and collections at
a few southern cities, but most cen
ters report expanding business and
confidence regarding the future. In
the leading industries it is impossible

A WORLDLY WIDE QUEST.
1t Is Being Made for a Havana Banker
Who Stole 100000.

New York. = Cablegrams to all
ports in the world were sent out
Thursday asking the authorities to
keep watch for Manuel Silveira, the
Havana banker, who is accused of
having absconded with more than ST.
100000, thereby causing the assign
ment in this city of the banking COM
mission house of Juan M. Ceballos &
Co., which failed on Wednesday with
liabilities of between $3,000,000 and
$4,000.000.
1t was announced here Thursday
that Silveira is not on board the
steamer Carmelina, on which he and
his family sailed from Havana. 1t
was said that the present whereabouts
of the Carmelina are known and the
destination of the other steamer to
which it is said Silveira and his fam
lily were transferred two days out
from Havana has been ascertained.
William V. Rowe, receiver of the
wrecked firm, said that every effort
was being made to apprehend Silveira,
who, he said was a close personal
friend of President Castro, of Venezu-
ella, and had important financial rela-
tions with the head of the South
American republic. Detectives have
been employed to run down Silveira
and their opinion is that the Cuban
banker will strain every nerve to
reach Venezuela.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned DAYS it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinlham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
boun tifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
presSly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and LYDIA e. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and with5-1t price, as a
labor of love-
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen-
nial year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinltham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

Twenty-one batsmen struck out, for

and the game was lost.

TRUST TRIAL
Brings Out EvidenCefrOm
Mr.. Cuthbert.
AN NIMMUNITYBATH
Is Taken by the President of the
Manhattan Oil Co., an AuxiIi-
ary of the Standard.

Findlay, O.-Evidence was brought
out Thursday by the state in
the trial of the Standard Oil Company
of Ohio for conspiracy against trade,
showing the ownership of the Manhat-
tan Oil Company of Ohio to be in the
General Industrial Development Co.,
of London, England. Also that the
Manhattan, which buys and pipes
crude oil, does not compete with the
Standard, but does compete with in
dependent companies.
These facts were brought out in the
testimony of f. T. Cuthbert, president
of the Manhattan. A similar criminal
suit to that on trial is pending against
his company and he testified under
the order of the court, which renders
him immune from future criminal
prosecution
Explaining the nature of business
done by the Manhattan, Mr.. Cuthbert
said that before he became it's presi-
dent the company did general oil
business; that it owned producing
properties, pipe lines and a refinery at
Galatea, o. 1t had disposed of all but
its pipe lines to the Ohio Oil Co., but
he did not know who was now oper-
ating the refinery at Galatea. The
Manhattan Co. now does exclusively
a pipe line business In doing so it
buys the oil of the producer, trans
ports it to storage stations and sells it
to S. P. Trainor, purchasing agent for
the Standard, who also buys oil from
Joseph Seep, treasurer Of the Buckeye
Pipe Line Co.
In what is known as the South Lima
field, where the Manhattan and Buck
eye pipe lines both buy oil, the price
paid to the producer is five cents a
barrel less than in the North Lima
field, where what are regarded as the
independent companies make their
purchases.
Asked to explain why this was, Mr..
Cuthber9said ito protect our pipe
lines from the encroachment of COM
petitors."
