In South Chicago. The steamer Gii-

who showed tendency toward fatty
degeneration of the cheeks. Crews of
other ships that are in the slips are also
stricken No cause can be found in
South Chicago for the outbreak of the
epidemic unless the men caught 1t in
some upper port.
| They are a sorry looking sight, these
old boys of the water as they walk up
and down the strand with their swol-

themselves, of the old time remedies,
but any man who has the price of
bacon would not be working on a ship.
Some have tried to find relief in the
grog shops in an attempt to swell their
heads to the same proportion to the
! balance of their faces but that is rather
expensive medicine too. and there seems
to remain nothing to reduce the swell
ing excepting to bide their time.

IS MILK DEALERS
APPEAR IN COURT
Charged by Inspector LAWN
With Selling Article
Not Up to Standard.
ONE GETS OFF WITH LIGHT FINE
Mitigating Circumstances in Case
of John Carlson-Others May
Receive Full Penalty.


South Chicago, Sept. 25.-Milk In
spector LAWN oE this district brought
fifteen milk deaikFs into the south Chi
cago court this morning as a result Of
the crusade conducted by the health au-
thorities and all will be given a hear
ing when it is expected that many will
receive heavy fines. The first case
tried was that of John Carlson and he
was fined $5. This was considered de-
serving of leniency because of the fact
that it was his first offense and that he
was victim of a dairy concern tnat
was known to have sold milk not up
to the standard. In all the cases the
report of the analysis showed that the
milk was way below the standard re-
quired by the pure food laws.
Charges Made In Court.
The prosecutions in court today were
on the following charges:
Having unsanitary dairies
Selling milk in dirty cans
Selling milk that was below grade.
Vending milk containing disease
germs.
Selling, milk in cans found to have
sediment in the bottom.
Not having sanitary plumbing in
milk depot
Selling watered milk.
Selling milk without a license.
That there is a wide field for a cam
paign is evidenced by this startling
statement made today by DR.. Biehn:
I'VE took 460 samples of milk from
cans on depot platforms. We found 125
samples below grade or injurious to
health"
South Chicago milk dealers are US
ing the plea of a shortage of milk as
the entering wedge TO force the price
of milk from seven cents to eight cents
per quart. Through all of the south
side territory the dealers have given
their patrons notice of the prospective
raise which will probably go into effect
next week. Already the consumers are
making a protest but it win amount
to nothing as all milk is controlled by
the trust and the small retail dealers
will lose money unless they dispose OF
their product at the Increased price
The consumers complain that the
milk now delivered by the dealers, in
the majority of cases is adulterated
and is not worth cents a gallon, tc
say nothing of a quart. If the boost ir
prices does go into effect it is certain
that there will be trouble.

Out Warrant and Arrest Soon Fol-
lows-Preliminary Hearing Today.

After having sent clear to Gabacia.
Austria for the pretty, blue eyed Flory-
ana Stosios. whom he expected to make
his bride tomorrow. after securing a
marriage license and having waited
only for the publishing of the bans be-
fore the marriage ceremony was TO be
performed in Chicago. it is the cruel
fate of Alex Karfon to return to the
boarding house of his fancee at the
Standard Steel Car companys plant to
find her a victim of assault at the
hands of burly foreigner by the name
of Mike Beder
The case is a pitiful one. For
months Alex Karfon has been working
like a Trojan in order that he might
provide the passage money with which
to bring his sweetheart from the far
away Austrian village where he first
met her and where she promised to be
his bride.
Finally the money. part of which had
been earned by hard toll at the Stand
ard Steel Car company's plant was
amassed. and the bride to be was sent
for.
1t was with joyous anticipation that
she was met by Alex Karfon only
three days ago and great preparations
were made for the marriage.
The marriage license had been Sc
cured and all the other arrangements
had been made. Miss Stasios. who is
Austrian beauty of the most strik-
ing type, was boarding at STANDARD
Boarding House No. 15 waiting for
Karfon to take her to Chicago. She
did not even know Mike Beder This
morning, however, 1t happened that
Beder and the Stasios girl were in the
boarding house alone.
He gripped her by the wrists and
forced her from the front rooms of the
house to the rear where he compelled
her to enter a room with him.
The Stasios girl is strong, however
and it was with no little difficulty that
she was forced through the house. Her
screams aroused the neighborhood
however, and soon there was a CROWD
of men and women in the house and
the burly fellow as big as he was, was
compelled to fight his way out to avoic
severe beating. The young woman
was more frightened than hurt, but
she notified the police and 1t was not
long before they had arrested Mike
Beder on the good description that hac
been furnished by the Stasios girl anc

FARMERS ARE ALARMED
Especial to Lake County TImes.)

Lowell. Ind. Sept 25.-The cold
nights of the last week are causing
the farmers of this vicinity a great
deal of alarm. They are afraid Of
frost which would make almost a COM
plete failure of their corn crop. which
needs two or three weeks of good rip
ening weather to make it safe from
frost If allowed to ripe properly there
is prospects of fair crop, but it will
not be an average of other years on
account of the wet and late spring
which drowned out and retarded its
growth.
The recent heavy rain fall and over
flow Of water from the streams into
the Kankakee marshes has drowned out
a number OF fields OF growing crops.
Wheeler Nichols has a ten acre field
of potatoes which 1t was thought would
yield about 1000 bushels. This is en-
tirely covered with two or three feet
of water.

destroyed the Wisconsin Central
freight depot with all its contents,
sausing loss estimated at 100000.
With the exception Of George Elem.
ing, depot foreman, who was burned
about the hands in an effort to put
out the flames before the department
arrived, no one was injured. There
were several narrow escapes from
death beneath falling walls. however
The fire was one Of the most spec
tacular In the Twin Cities In years
and was watched by from 10000 to
10000 people. Exploding barrels of
oil, of which there were forty In the
building, made the fire especially hard
to fight. No sooner would the tiremen
get the blaze seemingly under control
In one part of the building than an
explosion would occur, shattering a
norton of the walls and undoing In a
few minutes the work OF the fire fight
ers for a half hour. The oil fed the
flames and water seemingly had little
effect In quenching the fire for q long
time.
Six freight cars standing on the
tracks near the depot were consumed,
