TASK Is COMPLETED
Government Employees Finish the
Work ofWeighing Mail Carried
BY Railroads in This District
WORK COST HALF A MILLION

Last week saw the close of one of
taken by the postal partment-the
weighing of all mail matter carried
on the railroads of the middle west.
It was done for the purpose of fixing
the compensation to be paid the rail-
ways for carrying it.
The work has extended over a
period of 104 working days and, while
the total cost is problematica1, it is
estimated that over 100000 was.spent
on the work IN this district-the
Tenth. The total cost with other dis
tricts, will probably exceed $500, 900.
None of the figures ascertained by
the weighers in this division of the
Tenth district can be given out for the
reason that as fast as the weights
were obtained they were sent to the
division headquarters at st. Paul,
where the computations will be made
which will determine the rates that
are to be paid the various railroads of
this section for the succeeding four
years. The new rate is to be made
effective July /.
Chief Clerk Dickerman, who has
charge of the Milwaukee division of
the Tenth district, is authority for the
statement that about $50 extra men
were employed as weighers in this
district alone. These men we're paid
So per day for each day spent in the
work.
Comprising the Tenth district are
the states of Wisconsin, Michigan,
Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and the
two Dakotas. When the different
roads and lines which carry mail in
this section of the country are con-
sideted, and when it is remembered
that every piece Of mail carried since
February 20 has been weighed by
these government employees, aided by
the regular railway mail employees,
the enornlity Of the task just COM
p1etedi is better understood.
There are eleven divisions Of the

States. For the purpose of facilitat.

THE West Main street paving prop
osition is now up to the Council. The
Mayor has done his part, and the only
thing needed to secure this great pub
lie Improvement for Kenosha is the
ratification by the Council of the bar
gain he made with the railroad COM
pany. It is difficult to see how any
alderman can find any valid excuse
for refusing to take the railroad COM
pany's money and voting against go

Chicago Capital May Be Inter.
ested in Affairs Of Visible
Typewriter Company
PLANT IS NOW IN OPERATION
Manager S. Wallheim Is Now In Chi
cago Comforting With Men Who
May Take Up the Work of
Big KenOsha Plant

Another new regime is in prospect
for the Visible Typewriter company
and it is admitted today that a new
company is being formed which while
it may not take over all of the assets
of the company will be largely inter-
ested IN the operation of the plant aud
the sale of the product. Manager S.
Wallheim, who is also president of
the concern, is in Chicago today
comforting with a number of Chicago
capitalists who have been looking
over the property with view of in
vestment and it is very possible that
before the close of the present week
new company will be formed to
have charge of the operation of the
plant. If this company is formed
with the Chicago men as the hackers
1t is pretty certain that the financial
difficulties of the company which
have hindered the operation of the
plant for the last two years will be at
an end and that the plant will be
rapidly developed into one of the
6
city. No public statement has been
made IN regard to the new men who
are 20 become interested in the plant
and the matter has been worked very
quietly. The attorney of the COM
pany when seen this morning stated
that ne was not at liberty to make
public any of the plans of the company
but he admitted that the new deal
was on and that there was every
reason to believe that it would be car
ried to successful conclusion within
a few days. He insisted that this deal
would place the company on an alb
solutely sound financial basis.
In the meantime the company has
sent out formal letter to all credit
ors asking for a short extension of
time for the meeting of obligations.
In this S1etter it is stated that the new
deal is being worked out, and that the
company expects 70 be able to meet
all obligations of every nature within
.thesnext thirty or sixty days. "Mat-
tiers have been progressing with us,
It states, ''and had it not been for an
unforeseen complication we would
have been in a position to meet all
paper before this time. The COM
pany has now connection through
which every machine that can be
turned out will be taken at good
profit to the company, and a good
force of men is constantly employed
at the factory"
Continuing the statement is, 1--WE
expect to have all accounts and obi
cations taken care of within thirty or
sixty days at most, and have a good
operating fund besides. All current
accounts for purchases of material
will hereafter be paid in cash"
Manager Wallheim has been work
ing hard on the proposition, and in
the meantime he has kept the factory
in operation SO that the product has
been constantly on the market. It is
claimed that as soon as the present
deal IS completed the company will at
once begin to put more men to work,
and that the factory will in a short
time employ more men than ever be-
fore.

TYPHOID fever comes from drinking
polluted water or milk or eating poll
luted food. Milk laws in cities are
rapidly reducing the danger of in
lection from that source to mini
mum, and pure bottled water is al
ways procurable to persons who can
afford to buy it. But the vast ma jor-
ity cannot afford to buy table water
when the free supply is contaminated,
and the average citizen trusts to luck
rather than take the trouble of pro-
viding against disaster. He declines
to boil his drinking water even when
the presence of an epidemic in the
city and appeals from the health
Office call his attention to the neces-
sity for doing Milwaukee SEN

THE railway company has made an
extremely liberal offer to the city in
the West Main street paving PROPOSE
ton and if the Council pays any at
tention to public opinion it will be
accepted at once. In all probability
the grade of the tracks will remain
just where it is whether the street is
paved or not and the opportunity to
secure great public Improvement at
practically no expense to the city is
too good to be lost.

WAS HALF HIS FAULT
Ed. Gerling Pleads Guilty to Serious
Charge and Goes to Waupun

Charge and Goes to Waupun
Edward Gerling, arrested in Chi
cago several weeks ago with Mrs.
Henry Gerling, and charged with a
serious statutory oAfense, appeared
before Judge Be1den in the Circuit
Court on Monday evening and entered
plea Of guilty to the charges against
him. He was sentenced to one year
at hard labor in the state prison at
Waupun.
In pleading guilty Gerling ad-
dressed the Court and declared that
he was not alone to blame for the
charges that had been brought
against him, but that the fault was
half the fault of the woman who had
been arrested with him. He stated,
however, that he was willing to take
the punishment for the two, and
would cheerfully go to prison.
It's thought possible that the prose-
cut;on Of Mrs. Ger1ing will be
dropped, and there would be no evil
dence against her if Gerling refused
to return from the prison and testify.
Mrs. Gerlng is now out on bond, she
having been held to the September
term of the Circuit-C Court for trial.

THE new police call system which
has just been installed should in
crease the efficiency of the force fifty
percent and by its use the chief will
be able to keep the city much better
covered than has ever been possible
to do before with the number of men
now in the department. Without the
call system and the patrol wagon it
would have been necessary to largely
increase the force this year and these
improvements will soon pay for them
selves in salaries saved.
