Chicago, June 1.-The executive

Secretary Geo. L. Mccarthy of the
association, said:
"The diseased cows to which we Oh.
ject come from dirty and filthy farms
and it naturally follows that the dairy
herds from which most of them come,
are diseased The danger to the pub

products from tubercular cows, and
cows suffering from other diseases,
would be appalling if it were generally

for this condition of affairs have no in

PARK LAKE.
Chas. B. kennedy's Generous
Donation to the City

Chas. B. Kennedy has again shown
his enterprise and generosity In prac-
tically donating TO the schools of Madi-
on the Park Lake property The tract
of land comprises two blocks and a
half, extending from Blanche avenue
on the west to Egan avenue on the east.
between Ninth and Tenth streets. The
consideration of $4,000 mentioned in
the deed represents the value of about
one-fourth of the property and would
perhaps cover the taxes and portion
of the improvments which Mr.. Ken
uedy has expended, leaving a direct do
nation Of $1,000. The deed recites that
the property must be used for school
purposes. the erection of school build
Jugs thereon, etc. 1t is likely that in
the future high school building will
be erected on the west.. end of the proper
ty, fronting on Blanche avenue, the
balance to be used for any other build
ings, such as library, etc, and for park
purposes. The site is ideal for the pur
pose. Mr.. Kennedy has expended a
considerable sum Of money in planting
out trees ON the property, and hand
some little lake fed by springs, is an
attractive feature of the site.
This is not the first donation made
by Mr.. Kennedy for educational pur
poses. In the early history of the city
he donated to the state twenty acres of
land which comprises the site of the
State Normal school. This is situated
in the most beautiful part of the resi-
dence section of the city and the land
which he freely gave to the public
now represents many thousands of dol
lars in value. The donation will be a
lasting monument to Mr. Kennedy s
generosity in all the years to come.
