PLAN TO RAISE MONEY

Milwaukee, July 1S.-Milwaukee is
trying to raise $250,000 for an audi

has been raised and Mayor Becker
conceived a scheme for getting up the
balance. He wants to hold big prize
fight and charge a big fee. He sug-
gests Battling Nelson be one of the
fighters. Many think the plan good.
but others have been shocked over the
fact that the mayor should so far for
get his official dignity as to suggest
what they call brutal contest" But
to appease their anxiety the mayor has
another scheme. He suggests that
horse show can also be given for the
more gentle folks who do not care to
go to his prize fight.

If the order is not complied with in
the time specified, arrest and prosecu-

said DR.. Crumbine.
No person who hasn't seen the
place can conceive the filthiness of it.
1t was SO bad that l cannot see how
the place can be. cleaned in five days
or fifty days. It's my opinion that the
burning of the house will be the only
means of eradicating the disease
germs.
There may be other slaughter
houses in almost as bad a condition;
none can be as bad, and | hope by
sending notices to all county commits

victorious in the long ocean race in

take the Provence. Both vessels have
records for speed, and some clever trans

their efforts.
