A Bold Stem.

To overcome The well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the more intel
ligent to the use of secret, medicinal com
pounds, DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
nestle use, and, so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering insS-the composition of his widely
celebrated hedici6es. Thus he has taken
his numerous patrons and patients into
his full confidence. Thus too he has re-
moved mis- medicines from among secret
nostrfpS of doubtful merits, and made
thems4 Remedies of Kn0l01l Composition.

AFTER all the race is not always to
the real swift and Governor "Yim0
Davidson may show the political slate
makers that he will have to be reck
oned with in the next political align
ment The Governor has filled the
office with dignity and in a way to
show that he is worthy of better
things. He is popular with the peo-
pie of the whole state and fortunately
he has shown no tendency to take the
platform as an agitator to strengthen
his hold on the masses of the state. A
dignifed official, attending to his
business as such an official is one of
the rarest things in modern politics
and Wisconsin is to be congratulated
on the showing its head executive has
made.

THE ORPHAN ASYLUM LOT


The piece of ground known as the
Orphan Asylum lot, which is situated
just north of the standpipe, belongs
TO the city and contains several acres.
1t seems it can be used only for one
purpose as far as building on it is
concerned. For over half century
1t has laid there in its present condi-
ton and been of very little use to
anybody and it is time it was put to
some use. The city could certainly

prove it?
The city is in great need of parks
and this piece of land could be made
into a park at very small expense.
Of course large amount of money
could be spent on it by putting in
cement walks through ard around it,
but if the city fathers do not think
they can afford to spend a large
amount of money, just appropriate
say 5000 to be judiciously expended in
setting out trees and leveling the
ground bit, but leave the boys .

started and do something this fall.

A LESSON OF DEATH

The lives of the three men who
were killed in the explosion at Pleas
ant Prairie few days ago, were GER
tainly worth the consideration of the
Legislature of the state of Wisconsin
and while it would be impossible for
the state to do anything for the
charred and distorted bodies of these
men, in death, they may teach the
state the lesson that state supervision
of powder plants is necessity and
IN this way prove martyrs to the
cause of the other men who may in
the future take up the hazardous
work of making powder. The coro-
ner's jury has urged upon the Legis-
1ators the demand for state super
vision and the demand should not be
passed over lightly. Had the mem
bers of the Legislature been at the
ruins of that corning mill and had
seen the corpses of the dead powder
makers after the explosion it would
have been greater argument IN
favor of the law than anything else.
Such scene would have burned the
idea of protection into the minds of
the Legislators. These men are
sturdy men of great daring and per,
haps even foo1hardy in accepting the
risk of their labors, but it is certainly
the duty of the state to take care of
them just as certainly as it does of
other workmen A human life is
pretty near as valuable in corning
mill as in railway engine or count
ing room and so long as the state
gives these men and their families no
adequate chance to recover IN court
for death or injury, it seems that the
state should at least make the manu-
facture of powder a thing to be &C
complished under the direct super
vision of the state.

WISCONSIN street will never make a
good business street until some of the
walks are fixed and made so that a
person may walk on them without
danger Of spraining an ankle, or
worse. AS some of them are now it is
actually dangerous for people to use
them after dark. It would not be sur
prising any day for the city to have a
suit for damages occasioned by defect
i've walks on Wisconsin street.

THE CITY AND THE GOVERNMENT

The meeting of the brewery agents
with the members of the Council on
Monday evening showed to the mem
hers of the Council that brewing COM
panies have great respect for the
United States government and much
greater respect for the government OF
the nation than the municipality.
All of the agents admitted that they
had paid without questioning two
government licenses but not one of
them had offered to pay to the city
retail and a wholesale license for the
places in the city. The saloon men,
and in fact all men in the liquor bust
ness, have learned that it does not
pay to trif1e with the United States
government but it is evident that they
are willing to run risks at any time if
it is only the municipality that is the
collector. There is no reason why the
collection of licenses by the munich
pality should not be just as strict as
the collection of the tax imposed by
the United States government. The
men who are in the business of whole
sailing beer are themselves convinced
that they should not retail and whole
sale under the same license but they
are willing to accept this favor just
as long as the city gives them the
chance to do it. Just put the clamp
right down and tell the brewery
agents to come to the front with the
money and the licenses will be paid as
fast as the men CO crowd up to the
window of the city treasurer. The
man who sells liquor is aware of the
fact that it does not pay to bubble
when the law is against him. The
city of Kenosha under the state law
can issue wholesale licenses to the
number of forty and up to the present
time less than a half dozen of these
licenses have been issued. The doc
trine of fair play to the retail liquor
dealers will demand that these men
settle up with the city just as soon as
possible.

PLAN STAR COURSE
Park Avenue N. {. Church To
Give Splendid Course Of
Entertainments in City
WELL KNOWN PEOPLE COMING

The members of Park Avenue M. E.
Church have arranged to give a
splendid lecture and concert course
during the coming winter months
which should prove very attractive to
the people of the city. Kenosha al
ways suffers during the winter months
from lack of good wholesome enter
tainments, and this need is to be filled
by the Park Avenue Church people.
The committee has been careful to
select talent known by them to be Of
the very highest order. Following is
the course in the probable order, be-
ginning about the middle of October
and running through to middle of
February.
The Dunbar company, male quar-
tette and bell ringers. This is one of
the most versatile and popular COM
panies before the public. They will
be remembered by many Of our people
as having given the best number on
the Y. M. c. A. course here two years
ago. AS singers they are pronounced
by critics equal to the best" They
handle more than one hundred of the
finest English bells with marvellous
skill. They offer delightful instru
mental trio, a cellist of national repu-
tation and a clever reader of character
sketches.
Lecturers are John Merit Driver,
whose lecture on "Ultimate America"
captured the Racine Chautauqua two
years ago; DR.. Vim. A. Quayle of Chi
cago, who needs no Introduction;
Ernest Wray O'Nea1, who spoke so
effectively on "Seers of Visions' at
the Epworth League convention and
who is one of the most eloquent and
popular lecturers on the American
platform today, and Reno B. Well
bourn, the wizard of electricity. He
is prophet and discoverer in cleo
trical science. During the last five
years he has been associated with
some of the greatest scientists in the
world and had the personal assistance
of Nikola Tesla, Lord Kelvin, Sir
William Croodes, Signor Marconi and
others. He will give demonstrations
in wireless te1egraphy, liquid air and
radium, and deliver his instructive
and interesting lecture entitled, "In
the Year 2000." Prophecies of mar
velous future developments in cleo
trical science.
The closing number will be a con-
cert by the Slayton Jubilee Singers,
one of the few colored concert COM
panies who sing the old-time jubilees
and also Ct .ssic music of a high order.
They have appeared on the largest
and finest lecture and entertainment
courses from New FORK to San Fran
cisco and have given more return
dates than any musical company in
the coudtry. They will be a great
attraction. This course of six splendid
entertainments will be sold for $1.50

WILL BOOM BOB"
Senator La Follette's Lieutenants To
Meet in Milwaukee in September

Meet in Milwaukee in September
Evidence is accommodating that the
campaign for the La Toilette program
in this state is to be opened state fair
week.
Some time ago it was announced
that Senator La Toilette was! plan
ming an active fight not only to secure
delegates from Wisconsin to the Re-
publican National Convention on
whom he could depend, but also for
the nomination of F. E. McGovern of
Milwaukee for governor and Speaker
Irvine L. Lenroot for United States
senator.
That Senator La Toilette is plan
ming to begin this fight at once can
be seen by the fact that his chief
lieutenant and law partner, Alfred
Rogers of Madison, is sending letters
to numerous minor lieutenants of La
Toilette, urging !.them ito BEGIN Mil
waukee by Wednesday during State
Fair week and informing them that
the conferences. which are to be held
on the remaining days of sthe week
are to be important and should be
attended by them if possible.
These letters have been sreceived
by all Of the officers of La Toilette
presidential clubs in the state as we'll
as by many members of theslegisla-
ture.
No mention is made in the letters as
to whether La Toilette is to be in Mil
waukee state fair week, but from his
close friends it is learned that if he
can make it het will be fora day, and
if not he will meet his friends in
Madison late in September.
From the temper Of the letters it
would seem as if the presidential as
pirations of, La Toilette swere to be
discussed at the conferences, but men
on the inside say that the whole La
Toilette program will be.gone over at
that time and that plans wi1lIbe made
then for an aggressive campaign
which shall continue until sthe pri
maries.
But the La Toilette s1ieuntenants
will not be the only ones in Milwau-
kee fair week. All the leading Re-
publicans of tthe statelswill be there
that week and the Davidson-C Cooper
men will also have their3plans pretty
well defined before the week is over.

BITTEN BY A DOG
Little Girl From st. Mary's
Summer Home Attacked by a
Dog in Park Place
SAD BEGINNING OF VACATION

Dorothy, one of the little girls
from Chicago, at the Summer Home
for Children on the Lake Shore just
south of the city, was attacked by
dog owned by H. M. Baldwin on Park
place Wednesday and seriously in
jured. It is not thought that the
wounds caused by the dog biting the
child will prove serious but she is still
suffering a great deal from the acct
dent. The dog has been disposed of,
Mr.. Baldwin sending him out of the
city as soon as he heard of the acci-
dent. The attack of the dog put
sad beginning on the vacation of the
little girl. She had been brought
here from Chicago with the other
children, but the smoke and stencil of
the city had left her in a weakened
condition and she has been the inter
esting little invalid at the home since
the children came to Kenosha.
Wednesday the physicians who care
for the children at the home told
Dorothy that she was strong, enough
to leave the home and go out for
walk and accompanied by Sister
Frances who is in charge of the home
the child had walked down to library
park. Sister Frances went into the
library and left the child playing on
the lawn about the building.
The little girl wandered over to
Chicago street and just as she walked
through the bushes on the west side
of the park the dog ran out of the
Baldwin yard and attacked her. He
threw the child down and planted his
teeth in her leg, making two bad
scratches. Her clothing was torn by
the animal and she was badly
frightened. The dog was beaten off
and as soon as possible the little child
was taken to the residence of DR..
William M. Farr and the wounds
cauterized. Neither of the wounds
were thought to be serious but the
developments in the case are being
closely watched. The dog was at
once confined at the Baldwin home
and it was sent out of town Wednes-
day evening. Several complaints
have been made against the dog to-
day but the owner claims that he
did not know that he had ever
bitten any one. The little child is
now at the summer home but should
the wouncs show any sign of danger
she will be sent to the Pasteur insti-
tute in Chicago for treatment.

Local Operators Get COmmuaica-
ton From President Small,
Urging Them To Quit
TO HAVE NO EFFECT ON WIRES
Operator for the Western Union Is on
Vacation. While the Postal
Manager and Operator is
Already With Strikers

Kenosha telegraph operators on
Wednesday afternoon received letters
from President Small urging them to
join with the strikers in the effort to
force the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies to recognize the
demands of the strikers. This is the
first time that formal notice of the
strike has been sent to the smaller
cities and it had no effect in Kenosha.
AT the present time there are no
operators at work in the city as the
manager for the Postal company
joined the strikers and closed up his
Office and the operator of the Western
Union is away on her annual vacation.
Manager McNa1ly of the Western
Union was not honored with a COM
munication from the president of the
union. He is still in charge of his
Office and the business of the company
is being Carried on just as if there
were no strike on.
The effort is now being made to
organize all of the smaller towns for
the strike, and the appeal of President
Small to the local operators was in
part as follows:
"We are on strike. Both companies
are tied up in every center. Our
members have responded almost with
out exception, and the te1egraphers
who were not enrolled have done
nearly as we'll. You have grievances
long hours, inadequate wages, and,
in many instances, no compensation
for long hours of extra services. We
are going to win. We intend to i'm
prove the condition of te1egraphers
everywhere. We are going to fight
for the manager and telegrapher in
the small Office. / now call upon you
to come out with your fellows, and do
all you can to make this struggle for
our rights and for decent conditions
success
There is one operator still working
on commercial work in Kenosha en-
ployed at the Thomas B. Jeffrey Com
pany, but as this wire is leased wire,
it is not thought that he will fall under
the strike order. Operators of leased
wires are working in nearly all of the
other cities of the country.
Many of the operators in smaller
towns have joined the strikers and
there is tendency to aid the strikers
on the part of some of the railway OPP
orators. The men in the smaller sta
tions have frequently opened their
keys to send ''scab" "scab" when
Western Union operators were at
work, but this has only slightly inter
fered with the business.
Manager McNally, Of the Western
Union, has received no new instruc-
tions from the company, and today
business is being accepted for all
parts OF the country and it is claimed
that it is being sent out without any
delay whatsoever. The business of
the local Office of the Western Union
is showing no falling off as result of
the strike.
The Postal Office is still closed down,
but it is expected that it will be opened
under new manager within the next
two or three days. Manager Huber
is still in the city, but he is taking
no part in the work for the company.
