Figures computed in the office of

representing the amounts Of taxes to
be paid by the several counties of the
state this year, are comparatively
small, only being about half what
they have been Tor the last three pre-
eeding years, and only about one
fourth of what the law authorizes to
be collected.
Had no remission of all the state

schools been made, the amount to be
paid by Milwaukee county would be

The total tax to be collected this
year is S643,6S0 and each county will
receive back from the state more than

MEETING TO DENouNcE DOCTOR.
Evanston all Aroused Over a Shame
full Case.

full Case.
Evanston, ILL.,, Oct. 25.-Dr Darwin
r. Stockley, the welLknown physi-
clan charged with the mistreatment
of young girls in his consulting room,
was indicted on two separate charges
by the grand jury after hearing the
testimony of Hannah OLSON, 1916
Sherman avenue, and Esther Lyn-
dahl. 452 Patterson avenue. Evan
ston, both of whom claim to be his
victims. Evanston citizens are to
hold a mass meeting to denounce the
doctor
The finding of the jury was a
complete reversal of the decision
given by Justice Boyer when DR.
Stoeldey WAS given hearing in the
police conrt. Justice Boyer contend
ed that the evidence was not strong
enough to warrant him in holding Dr.
Stoclley over to the grand jury on
the particular charge specified.
The girls charge that they were
mistreated by Or. Stockley when
they went to his Office for treatment
Miss Lyndahl was only witness
at the hearing before Justice Boyer,
but her admissions before the magis-
trate ruled her OF the stand were of
such nature as to lead Assistant
States Attorney Barbour to take both
cases before the grand jury.
The case of DR.. Stockley with the
exception of the fatal outcome, +"
said Assistant States Attorney Bar
bour, lis even worse than that of Dr.
Oliver Hart of Rogers Park, who
killed his victim"
Miss OLSON and Miss Lyndahl went
before the grand jury and told the
stories which resulted in the indict-
ment of DR.. Stockley. Shaking with
sobs and shame, the two girls told de-
tails of their mistreatment which so
incensed the jury that the physician
was indicted with hardly moments
hesitation. The other witnesses who
testified wer Miss Bertha Peterson,
aunt of Miss OLSON, and Elsie Carl
son, 1862 North Paulina street, who
accompanied Miss OLSON on one oc-
easion when she went to DR.. Stock
ley's office.
The Stoekley case has incensed
prominent residents of Evanston, in
Guiding the leading physicians and the
Swedish ministers, to such an extent
that an Indignation meeting is to be
called by them in an effort to collect
additional evidence against the ply
stefan An attempt will be made by
Attorney Barbour to get the names of
others in Evanston who, he under
stands. have been approached by DIR.
Stockley in an insinuatfng way while
receiving medical treatment in his
office.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure Deafness. and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when ii Is entirely closed Deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

Thanksgiving
Proclamation

The time Of the year has
come when, in accordance with
the wise custom of our fore-
fathers. it becomes my duty to
set aside Z special day OF
thanksgi wing and praise to tic
almighty because of the bless
ings we have received, and Of
prayer that these blessings may
be continued.
Yet another year of wide
spread well being has passed.
Never before in our history or
in the history of any other "a
ton has a people enjoyed a
more Astounding material pros
perity than is ours; prosperity
so great that should arouse in
US no spirit of reckless pride:
least of all a spirit of needless
disregard of our responsibilities;
but rather a sober sense of or
many blessings, and resolute
purpose. under Providence. not
to forfeit them by any action o
our own.
Material well-being, indis-
pensable. though 1t is. can rsy.
err be ANYTHING but the founda-
ton of true national greatness
and happiness II we build
nothing upon this foundation.
then our national life will be as
meaningless and empty as the
house where only the founda-
ton has besl laid. Upon our
material well-being must be
built the superstructure of in
dividual and national life, lived
in accordance with the laws OF
highest morality; or else our
prosperity itself will, In the
long run, turn out a curse In
stead OF blessing. We should
be both reverently thankful for
what we have received and
earnestly bent upon turning 1t
into a means of grace and not
Of destruction.
Accordingly, I hereby set
ara~. Thursday. the twenty
ninth day of November next,
as a day of thanksgiving and
supplication, on which the peo-
pie shall meet in their homes
or their churches and deyoutly
acknowledge all that has been
given them, and pray that they
may, Ia addition. receive the
power to use these gifts Alright.
In witness thereof have set

PAST WINTER HAS
 BIG WRECK LIST
REPEATED LOSS OF STEAMERS SHOWS NEED OF BETTER BULK HEAD PROTECTION-NAv HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

New York, May 13-Four million dollars Is the estimated loss of marine underwrit- CTS for the past winter. In addition to this insured property loss. the North Atlantic alone has exacted a grim sea-toll of at least eighty-five lives
 The past five months have been partic- ularly disastrous for shipping Off the New England coast and the maritime pro- vinces of Canada ffty-four ships have gone down. As usual. the sehooners suf- fered the most severely. Thirty-seven craft of this description, nine steamers and eight barges comprise a list of dis asters representing a money loss of hun- dreds of thousands O. dollars in addition to the human lives swallowed up by the waves
 The worst disaster of the winter in our waters was the wreck of the steamship British King" off Sable island March H. on her way from New York to Ant- werp. At least twenty lives were lost The winters list of wrecks began in November with the sinking of the Nor wegian steamer "Turbin'' in sight of Clarks Harbor. N. s. Fourteen men went
 ''-N'' t'AN ti piii. "A iOlIllSIt lutef the British steamer .Luncnburg'' sunk a lew minutes after striking a rock off the Magdalen Islands. resulting in the loss or dozen lives and the cargo. From then until the end of March there was hardly a week without it's shipwreck.
 These and the more serious steamer wrecks in the English channel have im- pressed upon underwriters the necessity for more effective measures to prevent the sinking of vessels whose watertight com partments arc supposed to but do not in- punctures of the hull. Watertight bulk heads only make ship unsuitable when all the doors below the waterline are closed In most disasters al sea the doors cannot be closed by hand. and there is an increasing demand for the more gen. eral adoption of power bull<head doors. With this arrangement the doors can he closed from above decks In time of dan ger merely by the turn of hand wheel. Without these Long Arm electrical power doors the closing of the bullxhead openings is left to the crew whose first idea is to get on deck as soon as possible IL is fair estimate. experts say. that not one out of fifty vessels that are now lost at sea would go down if they had the means of quickly closing their water tight doors that the navy department is putting on all the new United States war ships.
