NOT TOLD
Conditions at Frisco Said to be
Underestimated

Racked in mind and body-a COM
plete nervous wreck-as the result of
her narrowing experiences during
the earthquake and fire In San
Francicso, Mrs. Mary Showers, form
erly a resident of Denver, visited the
Chamber Of Commerce headquarters
Friday, that she might thank the
officers for the assistance they had
rendered her in escaping from the
stricken city. Through the efforts
of Mrs. Izetta George, the represen-
tative of the chamber in San Fran
cisco, Mrs. Showers with her two
children were enabled to return to
this city.
Mrs. Showers. frail and nervous
almost to the point of collapse, was
living in the heart of the burned dis
trict. She was more fortunate than
some, however, as she was enabled
to secure a dress for herself and a
costume for each of the children.
All Of her other possessions were de-
stroyed. Ever since the catastrophe
she and her children have been Sleep
ing with thousands of other refugees
in Golden Gate park. Finally Mrs.
George discovered her and arrange
ments for her transportation to Den
yer were at once made. She arrived
Friday morning.
If the newspapers and newspaper
men out there should tell the true
condition of affairs they would be
mobbed and strung up to telegraph
pole or tree,'' said Mrs. Showers,
in speaking Of prevailing conditions.
Altogether there have been sew
enty eight distinct shocks since the
first one which did SO much damage
and instead of diminishing they are
increasing in volume. Saturday
about II O. clock there was one which,
while it did not do so much damage
in San Francisco, left assures In the
ground below the city fully five and
six feet wide.
1t is my opinion, based upon
what was told by a person in a
position to know, but who did not
want to be quoted, that San Fran
cisco will never be the city it form
erly was if, indeed, it is entirely re-
built. The authority of whom l am
speaking told me that the earth
under San Francisco was not safe to
build upon and to my certain know
ledge vast quantities of what form
erly constituted part of the city are
crumbling off into the ocean. San
Francisco will never be safe city
in which to live. denver Times.

NO EXCUSE FOR CATARRH
Worst Cases Quickly Cured by Breath,
ing Hyomei. Guaranteed by H.
REYNOLDS & Co,

There is really not the slightest
excuse for anoyne having catarrh,
now that Hyomei is so widely known
and so easily obtained. The worst
cases of catarrh are quickly cured,
simply by breathing the remedy
through the pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit.
The complete outht, consisting of
neat pocket inhaler, medicine
dropper, and bottle of Hyomei
costs only one dollar, while extra
bottles can be obtained for so cents,
making Hyomei the most economi-
cal, as we'll as the most reliable
method for curing catarrh.
Fl. Reynolds. g. Co. positively
guarantee a cure when Hyomei is
used in accordance with directions,
or they will refund the purchase
price.

DO 1T
Doctor Says They Drive Many
People Insane

Do more persons 60 insane during
the time Strawberries are in season
than at any other period of the year ?
If so, why?
According to DR.. E. P. Blomer, a
Buffalo physician and an alienist Of
reputation in the east, the insane
statistics Of tine country in general
show that each year there is a
marked increase in the number Of
persons who become insane by the
time the strawberry season Is we'll
under way. When the fruit disap-
pears from the daily table, he asserts
records of different asylums show the
number Of cases decreases.
DR.. Blomer says he is unable to
explain why insanity cases should be
more numerous during the time when
shortcake and berries and cream are
In general use, but added that he
was firmly convinced there was some
peculiar influence exerted on persons
of certain nervous temperament by
Strawberries. Their effect on some
persons physically, he says is
known to all physicians. Many are
unable to eat even one dish of straw
berries without suffering from a rash
which covers the entire body. DR..
Blomer believes that in the case of
some persons the mind is affected in
stead of the body.
If the learned doctor will follow
up his theory still further he may
find the greatest number Of cases of
insanity from the strawberry habit
occur early In the season. There
would be nothing strange about a
man going dippy who came home
and found six green Strawberries on
a shortcake, for which his wife had
paid 25 cents during his absence.
On the other hand, If man had a
wife like that, very likely she would
have driven him to the forget fac
tory long before the first strawberry
reached his town from Texas. So
there is probably nothing in the
doctors theory after all.

The circulars advertising green
goods, recently. sent to this city, we're
the best gotten up, the most plausible,
and therefore the most dangerous
ever gotten out by any gang of coun-
terfeiters, and if their green good"
are half as good as their advertising
matter, the secret service officers will
have to work sharp and quick to pre-
vent its getting into circulation The
fact that only few of the letters sent
to Kenosha were returned to the post
Office officials lends weight to the sus-
picion that there may be some people
here who are thinking of investing in
the counterfeits, and it is possible that
some bad money may turn up here be-
fore very long. If it does it will not
be very difficult task to trace it right
back to the men who put it in circula-
ton, and after the publicity that has
been given to the operations of this
gang the man who is caught working
their game need expect no sympathy
from anybody.

PAID HEAVY FINES
Six Bassett Station Men Charged
With Burning q Dog Pay
Heavy Fines
BURNING WAS ACCIDENTAL

Henry Blain, Otto Waltersdorf, Earl
Burrett, Frank Fieg1e, Alvin Voss
and Herman Fiegle, six of the best
known young men of the village of
Bassett's Station and the surrounding
neighborhood, were arrested Tuesday
evening by Deputy Sheriff Barber on
complaint of j. H. Karnes, agent of
the Kenosha county Humane society.
The men we're charged with having
covered dog belonging to j. Nolan
with turpentine and then setting fire
to it. The dog was killed last night
as it was so terribly burned that it
was impossible to save it's life.
The men were arraigned before
Justice Sturges this morning and all
of them pleaded guilty to the charges
against them and fines of SIS and
costs were assessed in each case. The
total value of the life of the dog as
assessed by the justice Of the peace
was $123.84.
When the men we're arraigned this
morning they admitted that they had
planned to tie can to the dogs tail
but after the dog had been captured
some member of the crowd had urged
the more heroic treatment of turpen-
tine. One of the men had lighted a
match in order to better superintend
the operation. The lig hted match burn
ing his fingers and he attempted to
throw it away. The flame caught in
the long hair of the dog and in a
second he was enve1oped in flames.
All the boys insisted that they had no
plans for the extreme cruelty Of burn
ing the dog and that the burning was
entirely anEaccident. The men took
the punishment insa cheerful manner
and all of them paid the fines. They
stated that it was lesson which they
would never forget. The money taken
as fines will go to the county school
fund.

FILE BIG MORTGAGE
Knickerbocker Ice Co. Places a
Plaster on All Its Property to
Secure Sc, 900, 600 Loan
VAST HOLDINGS in COUNTY

The largest mortgage ever made
matter of record in Kenosha county
was filed this morning, the mortgage
being m ade by the Knickerbocker Ice
company to the First Trust and Saw
ings Bank and Emile K. Boisot, of
Chicago, as trustees. 1t is made to
secure an issue of refunding bonds
amounting to 100000. The mort
gage bears the date of Feb ], 1906,
and the bonds which it is given to
secure will not expire until 1916. They
draw an annual interest of per cent.
The mortgage is in printed form and
it contains more than 200 folios. It
must be recorded in every county of
the state in which the big ice trust has
holdings. The deed is signed by John
S. Field as president and William
Walter as secretary. It is accepted
on the part of the trust company by
James B. Forgan.
The deed is of more than passing
interest on account of the fact that it
shows the vast holdings of the ice
trust. The property conveyed by the
deed is located in the states of Ill
inois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota and
Wisconsin, and it is claimed to repre-
sent over a million acres of land.
Most Of this land is situated along the
inland lakes of the states mentioned.
The deed covers all of the Chicago
property of the company, including
the different warehouses and Offices.
The greater part of the land is
located in Wisconsin counties, the list
including Kenosha, Racine, Walworth,
Waukesha, Milwaukee, Rock, Wash
ington, Winnebago, Dane, Door and
Jefferson counties.
It is an interesting fact that the
company has larger holdings in Keno
sha county than in any other county in
the state. Most of the land owned
by the company is located in the town
of Salem, but it has other holdings in
Bristol, Pleasant Prairie, Wheatland
and Randall

San Francisco, April 10, 3:15 p. M
Fire is still raging and all buildings
between the ferry and Ninth and
Townsend streets have been des-
troyed by the flames. The Daily
Chronicle in a special edition esti-
mates the loss Of life at 1000. The
Pace and Grand hotels are burning.
--latest reports state that the city of
Berkeley is also in flames and great
loss is expected there. No statement
of loss at other points has been made.

WHILE there has undoubtedly been
a great disaster in San Francisco and
its immediate vicinity the first reports
of tremendous loss of life were grossly
exaggerated. Our latest advices are
to the effect that the loss of life will
not exceed 1000 in the entire district
affected by the earthquake and Keno
sha people who have friends or re1a-
tives in the danger. zone should not
give way to any fears for their safety.
In the absence of any definite informa-
ton to the contrary there is every
reason to believe that everyone from
Kenosha escaped unhurt.

The first news of the terrible dis
aster in San Francisco was received
in Kenosha just after O'Clock this
morning in the way of a message to
the Postal Telegraph office notifying
the manager of the local office that
connection with San Francisco had
been abandoned indefinitely. There
were SO many Kenosha people in
California that in short time efforts
we're made to get messages from
friends and relatives, but nothing
direct has been received from any of
these people. 1t is known that the
wires are down and it is claimed that
there is but one wire now running
out of SansFrancisco.
There were many Kenosha people in
the earthquake stricken territory. Mr.,
and Mrs. B. F. Windsor and Walter
Frost, who have been making tour
OF the West, have been in San Fran
cisco for several days and Miss Wind
sor, a daughter, was notified that the
party was to have left San Francisco

party and tits possible that they were
in San Francisco when the crash
came this morning. w. H. Yule, a
son of George A. Yule, was in San
Francisco Saturday and was to have
left Saturday night but nothing has
been heard from him today.
Among former Kenosha people who
reside in San Francisco were Mr..
and Mrs. William Meyer. who went
to San Francisco Immediately after
their wedding last Christmas. No
thing has been heard from them.

crippled that it is almost impossible
to get through message.
Frank Brown, a brother of Charles
G. Brown, cashier of the First
National Bank was in business sin the
Mills building in San Francisco, but
he was out of that city when the
earthquake occurred.
Later this afternoon other people
have been found to be in San Fran
cisco, the list including Tom and
Frank Crogan, John Perry and Chas.
Richter. 1t has been learned that
quite number of Kenosha people
who had been at California resorts
have started for home.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1906-04-19

THIS is an "open" town within GER
tain limits. The majority of our
voters have repeatedly declared that
they want it that way and Kenosha
has always been more or less ''open"
under all recent administrations.
But there are certain limits beyond
which the clique that controls these
things has learned that tits unsafe to
go and we do not believe that Keno
sha will be any more of wide
open" town now that the election is
over than it was before. Anyway,
the casual observer of men and events
won't notice any difference unless he
goes looking for it, for long time
yet. About all we can ever hope for
in Kenosha is TO have everything OBJ
jectionable put away out of sight.
