CURBS THE DISEASE
Zero Weather Puts an End to the
Prevalence Of Scarlet Fever in
...sF e
the Western Part Of County
GENOA JUNCTION NOW SAFE

The zero weather of the past few
days has wrought wonders in the
western part of Kenosha county, and
as a result of the action of the cold
weather it is probable that the ban
Twill be lifted from the milk shipping
plant at Genoa Junction by the first
bOf next week. The cold weather has
put All end to the scarlet fever con-
tagion in the village to such an ex-
/ tent that not a single case has been
reported since last Monday. The far
mers Tin the neighborhood of Bas-
sets station IN town today declare
that there is not single case of the
disease within radius of two miles
of the station, and that the only new
cases that have been reported were at
Powers Lake, and that these cases
Were reported more than a week ago.
br Nearly all Of the farmers are now
hshipping milk, and while they are
forced to haul it some distance, nearly
as much milk is being shipped from
the town Of Randall as was shipped
before the Chicago officials first
barred the Genoa Junction milk. The
doctors at Genoa Junction are in con-
slant communication with the Wis
consin Board of Health, and as soon
as it is thought safe the embargo on
Genoa Junction milk will be lifted.
The Wisconsin officials have insisted
that the local health officers take no
chances in the matter, and to this end
it is probable that the quarantine Of
Genoa Junction will be kept active
even longer than is necessary. Milk
from this neighborhood has been on
sale regularly in Chicago, and it is
pretty certain that it has not carried
any fever germs to the Chicago homes.
At the present time the few cases of
scarlet fever at Genoa Junction are
causing little concern among the peo-
pie of the village and plans are being
made for the re-opening of the schools
and other places of general assem-
blage which have been closed for
nearly two weeks.

kenosha Capitalists Organize q
Company to Engage in Manu-.
facture of Sauer Kraut
ERECT BIC PLANT AT ONCE
Company Will Engage in a General
Canning Eand Storing Business
But the MainIP Product of the
Plant Wilt. be Kraut

The city.ofjK is.in the center
OF the greatests sea hbage. growing
county in the world and prominent
business men of.the city have banded
together to make Kenosha the big
gest kraut manufacturing point in
the country. At meeting held at
the Merchants and Savings bank on
Tuesday evening stepss:were taken
for the organization of 'tThe,Kenosha
Canning and Storing Company"
The company will s-have. a capital
stock ofItwenty- fiveathousand dollars
fully paid up. 0The articles of incor-
poration are beingssdrawn,ntoday and
at the same time committee sof the
stockholders is out seeking for a
site on which it is planned tog erect a
mammoth plant for the storage Of
cabbage sand the manufacture of
kraut.
The new organization will at once
let contracts for the construction Of
the plantgaands it is declared .that it
will be ready for occupancy by the
first of June. AsThe storageS portion of
the plant will have capacity ofifrom
one thousand to fifteen hundred tons
Of cabbage.
The company is planning to engage
IN general business of canning vege-
tables but sthe main output of the
plant willa bel kraut It is believed
that the company can secure thou
sands of tons of cabbage in this sec
ton of the state during the early fall
months and this swill be made into
kraut andscanned in three pound cans
aud shipped to the East. There is a
great demand for kraut in this form
and the Kenoshasplant will be one of
the pioneers in the field. For some
time the farmers of the town of Somers
have been seeking to secure the erec-
ton Of big storage plants for cabbage
and an exchange had been planned
for next year but the Kenosha com
pany will probably take the place of
this exchange.
Many of the best known men of the
city are interested in the new com
spany, among the number being H. B.
Robinson, John M. Keh1or, Charles
H. Gonnermann, M, j. Isermann,
Nicholas J. Werner, Simon Krebs, Jr.,
Schmitt Bros M. d. Schmitt, Hast
ings Bros, Fl. B. Kotz. Charles A.
Tarbell, Mat Werve, James S. Barr,
w. H. SCHROEDER, Charles Barr and
w. r. Anderson. The shares of
stock in the concern have been placed
at 500, and nearly all of the sub
scribers have taken ten shares or
over.
It is expected that the new plant of
the company will be erected in the
Northwest portion of the city near
the plant of the Bee Hive Fly Catcher
company.

EVERY alderman in the Council
will be expected to watch carefully
every move in the effort now being
made by Sewer Contractor McGovern
to collect what appears to be an ex-
tremely extortiouate bill for extras
from the city. 1t is their business to
protect the taxpayers in this matter,
and they will be held responsible if
the city is held up.

THE national pure food law, which
went into effect on January first, is
one Of the best laws ever enacted in
this country, and the efforts of manu-
facturers to conform to its provisions
have already resulted in vast i'm.
provement in the quality Of food
products offered for sale. The law is
not yet perfect by any means, and it
will have to be supplemented by fur
ther legislation along the same lines,
but it is good start in the right
direction.

STILL SEEK GILLETT

Sister of Missing Man Has Not Given
Up Hope and Asks All to Aid Search
While the police officers of the city
have given up hopes of finding John
Gillett, his sister has not, and she is
now asking all of the people of the
city and county to aid in the search.
Miss Gillett is hoping against hope
that her brother can still be found
alive and that it is possible that he
has wandered away and is still being
cared for by some one who is not &C.
quainted with his real identity.

THE Rivers and Harbors bill will
doubtless be productive Of much acri-
rnonious debate, but it will eventually
go through in just about the form it
came from the committee. Almost
every man on the floor has more or
less pork in the bill for his district,
and the debate will not be allowed to
go far enough to endanger the pass
age of the bill.

IT is noticeable that a plaintiff in a
damage suit who wins after long
litigation rarely nets more from YER
dict in his favor than he could have
obtained in the beginning by making
settlement, but the damage suits
will continue to occupy the attention
of the courts to the end of time just
the same. The lawyers must live and
there is nothing in settlement for
them.

Now that the Kenosha postofice is
to be advanced to the first class it
should be easier to get the additional

of the city.

SOMEBODY should gently, but firmly
call the attention Of the legislature to
the fact that the corrupt practices act
is dead law and should be repealed.
The law may be all right in theory.
but it does not work out in practice,
and law that cannot be enforced is
worse than no law at all.
