PLAY PERFECT GAME
kenosha Base Ball Team Defeats
Mutuals Of Chicago by a
Score of 7 to 4
GREAT REVERSAL OF FORM

The Kenosha base ball team showed
great reversal of form on Sunday
afternoon when the famous Chicago
Mutuals we're defeated by the locals
by a score of 7 to 4. The Kenosha
team seemed to have great confidence
in the pitching ability of ED" Barry,
of the Boston team and they gave him
perfect support. Not single error
was charged against the Kenosha
players and this was remarkable con-
sidering the fact that cold wind
blew over the diamond and sent the
fans in the bleachers and grand
stand shivering
The Chicago team was the strongest
team seen on the Kenosha diamond
this season. McGill, the former
Lacquer, was IN the box for the visitors
and the Kenosha players took kindly
to him. So much so that in one inning
they managed to bat in three earned
runs. This drubbing for McGill had
a tendency to take the starch out of
him, hnt after one inning he steadied
down and held the Kenosha boys fair
ly WE'LL Barry had great speed but
was wild at critical moments. But
Barry in the box gave confidence to
the members of the Kenosha team and
they played like veterans. Barry
aided materially in winning his game
with a long two base hit to the field
fence. Whitmore, the new sKenosha
fielder, showed up remarkably we'll
and he will undoubtedly be fixture
on the team. Feiting, Hedding ard
Loeble aided materially in the victory
of Kenosha, each gettingstwo hits off
McGi1l. The crowd was not as large
as on last Sunday but it was an en-

IN the present excited state Of Zion,
matters that ordinarily would be well
looked after are apt to be neglected,
and it is up to the health officers of
Lake county to make sure that the
quarantine regulations are strictly en-
forced in the smallpox cases which
recently developed there. The people
of Zion have been greatly worried
and poorly fed for a long time now
and they are in just the physical and
mental state to make them easy vic
tins of contagious disease and if
the smallpox once gets started no
one can tell what may happen.

THE physicians are going to get
after the druggists who have been
prescribing for their customers, and
they promise,to make hard fight to
put an end to this practice in Keno
sha. AS matter of fact, no druggist
would venture to put up for GUS
toner any prescription half as dan
gerous as some of the patent medi-
cine compounds he retails over his
counter without question, and we
should think it would be little diff
cult for the doctors to know just
where to draw the line between the
harmless prescriptions, put up by the
druggist, and the dangerous patent
medicine compounds. But the sale of
cocaine and narcotics is a different
matter. For some time it has been
matter of common knowledge that the
victims of the drug habit IN Kenosha
had no difficulty in procuring at any
time any amount they wanted and
could pay for of the particular kind of
"dope" they used, and if the physi-
clans can find out who is retailing
these drugs and put a stop to the
practice, they will be performing a
great public service.

THURSDAY, MAY 10.

WITH this issue the TELEGRAPH
COURIER begins its sixty-eighth year
of continuous publication. It used to
be said that no matter where man
went he could always find some one
who had lived in Southport or had
friends there and the record must still
hold GOOD for Kenosha county, for the
paper goes to every state in the union
and to almost every country in the
world keeping the wanderers in touch
with affairs sback home" It's files
are complete chronological record
of southeastern Wisconsin and of the
pioneer men and women who laid the
broad foundations upon which the
present prosperity Of the county is
based. In its long lifetime the paper
may not always have been right in
the stand it took upon many public
questions but it can truthfully be
said that it always meant to be right.
AT the beginning of its sixty-eighth
year it can make no promises other
than those guaranteed by its record
in the past, that it will stand for what
it believes to be for the best interests
of Kenosha county and its people.

AFFECTS KENOSHA POLICIES
Traders Insurance Co., Chicago, Passes
Into thefHands of a Receiver

HGCeIVHr
Quite stir has been caused in
local insurance companies by the re-
port that the Traders Insurance COM
pany of Chicago had gone into the
hands OF receiver. The company is
one Of the oldest in the West and car.
rled many policies on buildings in
Kenosha. The business was largely
IN factory risks and there was a rush
OF these men this morning to have the
risks rewritten in other companies.
1t is impossible to give out any state
ment as to the loss in Kenosha on ac-
count OF the company going out of
business, and no statement has as vet
been made in regard to the plans of
the managers of the company for set
Ting with their policy holders. The
local agent of the company has re-
ceived the following notice from the
assistant secretary Of the company:
I'VE beg to advise you that Byron
Y. Smith of this city has this day been
appointed receiver of the Traders In.
surance company of Chicago under
the order of the circuit court Of Cook
county, Illinois, and you are hereby
instructed that said court has enioined
this company from doing any further
business.
"You will therefore write no more
business for this company and remit
lall money now in your hands to Byron
l.. Smith, Rector Building, Chicago,
Illinois.
I'VE sincerely regret the necessity
for this action, but the recent great
loss in San Francisco has swept away
the accumulations of more than thirty
two years Of this company's assets. =
LIZ is understood that a part Of. the
business Of the Traders is being re-
insured in the Aetna of Hartford.
Three other insurance companies
doing business in Kenosha have been
affected by the San Francisco dis
aster.
The American, Of Philadelphia, has
re-insured its business ia the Com
mercial Union but it is stated that
the company will not go out of busi-
ness. lhe American, OF Boston, has
re-insured in the Firemen's, Of New
ark, and the United States, Of New
York, has re-insured il. the Westches-
ter, Of New York. The Mercantile, of
Boston, has re-insured in the Ameri-
can Central, of St. Louis, but will
continue business.
In regard to the business of the
Traders in Kenosha it is stated that
the general business of the company
here was small, but several large lines
were handled on factory risks through
the Western Factory Insurance associ-
alton and all liability of the Traders
Insurance company is assumed by the
Western Factory association so far as
those policies are concerned.

the speedy stranger within its gates,
and it w:lldepend altogether upon the
Automobiles themselves whether or
no drastic regulations are pnt II force
against them.

of money that would add so~much to
