Supreme Court Of State Hands
Down a Decision DissoIving
Camp Lake Injunction
GETTING BROS. LOSE FIGHT
Ice Company Which Contested FOL
Rights Against the Knickerbocker
Ice Company Gives Up the
Fight in Supreme Court

The old fight between the Getting
Brothers Ice Company and farmers in
the town Of Salem in the neighborhood
Of Camp Lake who were alleged to have
been friendly to the Knickerbocker Ice
Company has been ended by the Su-
preme Court Of the state for the present
as this morning Clerk of the Circuit
Court Frank Waldo received a remitta-
tur from the clerk of the Supreme Court
reversing the decision Of the lower court
in the suit Of Getting Brothers Ice Com
pany VS.. Robert Runyard ct al. The
order of the Supreme Court dissolves
the injunction which was granted to the
plaintiffs in the action more than year
ago and it is virtually a victory for the
farmers over the company. The injunc-
tion was issued on the demand Of the
Getting Company which claimed that it's
right to cut ice was being interfered
with by the farmers who were alleged
Ito have lowered the water of Camp Lake
by means of ditch to such an extent
that the business of the Oetling Com
pany had all but been ruined. 1t was
Ialleged that the Knickerbocker Ice Com
pany was behind the plan Of the farm
ers to lower the water in the lake. The
Getting Company secured an injunction
and for many weeks deputy sheriffs
guarded the property in question and it
was claimed that the distractions plac-
ed In the ditch to prevent the lowering
the water of the lake had been blown
up with dynamite several times. The
case was hotly contested in the Circuit
Court and the defendants in the action
demanded the dissolution Of the iniunc-
tion on the grounds that the complaint
| fled by the Ice Company did not state
any cause for the issuing Of the injunc-
| tion The Court in long decision held
that the rights of the Getting Company
| had been interfered with and that
under the circumstances he believed that
he was justified in denying the motion
for the dissolution of the Injunction
| At that time there was q suit in court
in which the same questions were at
issue. The attorneys for the defendants
at once took the case to the Supreme
Court to contest the decision of Judge
Belden in regard to the injunction and
the plaintiffs in the case made no APP
! pearance before the higher tribunal Of
the state and the action was reversed
with costs to the amount of $69.50
charged against the respondents.
The suit brought by the farmers
against the Getting Company is now on
the calendar Of the Circuit Court for
trial and it may be taken up at the
June term OF the court Tt is not
known why the attorneys for the com
pany did not contest the appeal in the
Supreme Court, but further develop
ments in the case are expected within
la short time.

Cattle Raisers of Southern Wis.
consin Question the Value of
the TubercuIin Test
SYSTEM MAY BE ABOLISHED

In the southern part Of the state dur
ing the last few months the sentiment
in opposition to the tuberculin test for
cattle has made rapid progress; ever
since, in fact, farmer named Bienfank
of Whitewater and one of his former
neighbors followed their eighteen con
demned cattle, valuable cows, to Mil
waukee, saw them slaughtered, and dis
covered, so they claim, that only one of
the eighteen was diseased. These two
well known farmers and dairymen lost
no time upon their return home in
pronouncing the testing system failure
and a fraud Other stock owners and
dairymen have been looking into the
system, and the more they see Of it the
less they like it.
The agitation had the effect of cutting
off the inspections to marked extent.
Wisconsin stock owners have not been
content to compare notes with other
Wisconsin owners They have gone to
New York, where they have a system
much like the one in this state. w D.
Brown of Oneonta, N Y, who has large
herds and has had much experience with
the tuberculin test, declares that nearly
half of the thousands of cows killed in
that state because it was supposed that
they were diseased were perfectly free
from tuberculosis or any other disease.
Mr.. Brown makes this startling state
ment:
1T am satisfied that tuberculin intro
duced in perfectly healthy animal will
result in tuberculosis. | bought yalu-
able animal that had undergone the
tubercuhn test. Within q few months
the animal was taken sick, and when
killed was found to have had tuberculo-
sis in the worst form. | do not propose
to allow any one to test nay, herd with
tubercnln in the future. :"
John NJ. Stade, and other New York
farmers, are still more pronounced in
their opposition.
Judging from the talk Of dairymen
and stock raisers in this part Of the
state, Wisconsin farmers will prosecute
a war upon the present system Of test
ing cattle until the system is greatly
improved or entirely wiped out. They
claim that since the law was enacted,
the tendency has been to hurt the repu-
tation Of Wisconsin stock and at the
same time damage the reputation Of the
state as butter and cheese country.

CARING For the Nose

tits funny thing" said a doctor,
that the average man pays less at
tention to the most prominent feature
of his face than to any other part of
his countenance. Yes, it's the nose I'm
speaking Of We clamp it with eve
glasses that pinch too much or impose
upon it spectacles that are altogether
too heavy. Then we wonder why it in
creases in size or perhaps in redness
But this lack of care for the nose is
not restricted to those whose vision is
defective. | venture to say that not
one man out of ten washes his nose in
the way that he should. Every other
part of the face comes in for a vigor-
Gus scrubbing, but the nose. which
needs it most of all, is apt to be pass
ed over gently probably because it is
being used to breathe through during
the additions. The result is that the
nose gives more and more evidence of
being neglected The tissues become
fiabby, and the pores are filed up. A.
little massage would work wonders in
such cases, but it is rarely given.
Notice the men you see in half an
hours time, and then tell me if my
comments are not justified. Then see
what you can do for your own nose

BOYS AT A DINNER

son S Work Thursday Evening
A dinner which was attended by
about fifty members of the boys de-
partment Of the Young Men s Christian
Association marked the close of the
active indoor season last night.
The occasion, which was the first Of
its kind, proved to be very interesting
and will doubtless be an annual affair
and on a much larger scale in the
future.
The program included some instrument
tai solos by Harry Huff and Paul Win
dersheim, and short talks by Messrs.
Rodger, chairman of the department,
Mr.. Fogwell, physical director of the
association, and Mr. Wones, of NIilwau-
kee, the boys secretary for the state.
Mr.. Fogwell outlined the plans for
the summer and it is evident that the
boys will have a good time if they take
advantage of even small number of
the things proposed. Following the

Phantom Lake, the boys conference at
Lake Geneva, and many excursions.
Mr.. Wohes reminded the bows that
there are many things that are needed
to make the department come up to the
standard set by other associations.
Special emphasis was laid upon the
value Of Bible study clubs which are
proving to be very popular nearly
$4,000 boys are enrolled in these clubs
in the associations of the country.
The most important things that are
done in this department., as in every
other phase of the association business,
are those things that are done by the
boys themselves and for this reason Mr..
Wones urged the boys TO boost, the.
association ia seyery possible way.

SOLDIERS POINT OF VIEW.
How II Differs from that Of the Ordi-
nary Citizen.

From the New YORK Times
Nobody expects the soldier to be well
satisfied with any condition OF affairs IN
which the military art Is neglected. Gen.
Grant naturally feels that this nation is
careless about its defenses and relies TOO
much on the revIvifed sentiment OF he
coins. In God we trust" for protection.
But the national defense must always de-
pend largely on other influences than
armed men and coast artillery. The com
prehensive plan OF the army maneuvers
this spring receives general approval The
wisdom OF having our nucleus Of a great
army well trained and prepared for
emergency is not disputed But the
people are not always thinking OF war
and perpetually glorfying the profes-
sional soldier When trouble comes they
know he will do his duty and will have
plenty OF assistance.
TIE ordinary citizen Ct this republic,
in his daily pursuit OF commerce and
the peaceful arts, is not warjke. or given
to the belief that the army and navy
are our only protection. lie is not expect
ing war. but continued peace, and his sx-
pectation is likely 70 be realized. The
soldiers thoughts must ever be on war
ike things, IL he is a good soldier, and il
is one Of the penalties OF his calling that
his COuntTymen are not thinking with
him in times Of peace.

The Paving Investigation.

While it must be conceded that the
District Commissioners have done what
they could toward getting at tie facts Of
the ugly rumors rife about the engineer
department of the District government
it is well that they have decided 20 turn
over all the evidence in their possession
to the United States district attorney.
There is so much smoke in connection
with these paving scandals as to make it
reasonably sure that there is some fire
underneath.
As the investigation has proceeded day
by day. suspicion that there may have
been graft in certain contracts has be-
come almost a painful certainty. and
when, yesterday, the records showed in
disputably that an employe of the Dis
trict had put aside over 5000 in four
years out Of an annual salary OF $500 it
was high time that the probe be placed
in the hands Of the proper authorities.
The District Commissioners deserve
al credit for the brave way in which
they have probed for facts bearing
on every phase OF the ease without fear
or favor. They have done well; but we
doubt not that the proper authorities.

LEGISLATION by Injunction

Another of President Roosevelts pet
measures the so-called anti-injunction
bill, has been turned down by the Repub-
lican majority in the House. Yet the
President can better afford adverse ac-
tion on this measure than many MEM
bers of Congress, for the questions in
voIved in the growing use and abuse of
the injunctive process are by no means
temporary or negligible, and they are
not going to down at the bidding OF a
Republican conference. The discussion Of
these questions has aroused a great deal
Of unnecessary heat on both sides. The
courts have been about as intemperately
defended as vigorously attacked. II has
been strongly denied that there has been
any abuse Of the injunction, and It has
been as strenuously asserted that the in
junetiye process was breaking down all
the personal liberties Of the workmen.
The truth lies somewhere between these
extremes. and we think it Will appear in
the end that Mr.. Roosevelt and the labor
leaders who are urging some legislative
restraint OF the Injunctive process have
excellent ground for their contention.
a modern Injunction. especially one di-
rected against the members Of a labor
union, is not only a judicial process, but
also a legislative enactment Il defines a
number of acts as unlawful which are
not so enumerated in the penal code, and
the court presumes to tnf1tct punishment
for violation Of its enactment without
the due process Of law guaranteed to
every individual by the Constitution. De-
tenders Of the injunctve process often
declare that it forbids nothing but what
is already unlawful; but this Is far from
an exact statement Of the case A recent
injunction granted by a local court for
bade members of a labor union going
to the railway station TO meet incoming
workmeD, with a view to inducing them
not to accept certain employment The
relation OF this forbidden act to the per
sonal or property rights OF the employer
would seem to be somewhat refAote. but
the act, by the decree Of the court, is
unlawful, and punishable as long as the
decree is in force. Otherwise it would
be lawful. In the remarkably compre-
hensive Injunction issued by Judge Day
ton against the Miners Union. a decree
that has been aired to some extent by
Senator Culberson, members Of the union
were forbidden 10 use even moral suasicn

employer and judge have thus devised
a system Of coercion that could be used
to prevent altogether the combination Of
worhngmen for self-protection. And it is
perhaps worth noting that this same
judge seateneed man and wife to sixty
days in jail for a violation of one Of
his injunctiOns. which violation arose
out Of an attempt by a union mans wife
