A YOUNG MANS PROPHECY.
Declared Twentieth Century Physi

Declared Twentieth Century Physi-
clans Would Cure Consumption.
Once upon a time, only few years
ago, | sat at the bedside Of a young
man of only 10 years who had been
stricken with tuberculosis, following a
severe athletic trial AS | held his
hand, he said, with a pathos that can
not be interpreted in cold print:
"Too bad that must die of this dis.
ease. because the doctors of the TWEEN.
tieth century will be able to cure cases
like mine"
Not for an hour since that mourn
full moment has that prophecy been eff
faced from my mind. A score of cures
for the white plague have been an
nounced, but all of them have proved
illusory. The terrible death rate of
continues-mitigated in
some localities by better sanitation, en-
forced cleanliness, and wholesome food.
These elements did not enter into the
progress of the case cited above. All
that money could do was done to save
that patient. Indeed, relatives of the
young man have since said that they
feared they had accelerated the death
Of the beloved one by the energy they
put into the battle! Perhaps they did ::
but when a case of disease is hopeless,
and the mental and physical suffering
is continuous, why should it be pro-
longed a minute longer than possible
Recently the war against the insidi-
GUS germ that produces a wasting
away Of the lungs-after the heart the
most vital of all organs of the human
body-has become more vigorous. An
nual congresses of medical men are
held in various parts Of the world, and
every imaginable plan is evolved for
fighting the disease Exactly as has
happened at nearly every preceding an
nual session, new cure for the dread
disease is announced. This time, Sur
geon B. L. Wright, of the United
States navy, declares that a treatment
with mercury has proved entirely salts
factory, His experiments have been
made in the naval hospital to which
tuberculosis officers and men of the
navy are sent, located at New Fort
Lyon, Colo.
The radical difference between his
treatment and that of DR.. Koch, as in
Dictated by the meager information
supplied, is that DR.. Wright kills the
tubercles with mercurial poison, while
DR.. Koch feeds the parasites to death.

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY ACTIVE.
Now Is the Support for Nearly Half
Million People

Interesting statistics have been coll
lected 10 show the surprising
growth and magnitude of the automo-
bile industry in this country The
present capital in this business is S94,-
00e,0O0. with s3G.o0G.0OO invested in
ages and retail salesrooms, making a
total OF S1S7.00O.0OO in a business IN
known ten years ago. More than $500
persons are employed in automobile
factories throughout the country. 30
600 others are employed indirectly in
making parts and another 21.5CO in
garages and salesrooms. making a to-
tai of more than 10000 employees.
This industry. therefore, is the support
of nearly half a million persons
There are 253 builders of automo-
biles in the United States The output
last year was about $1,000 cars, the
largest in the history of the Industry,
which to date has turned out nearly
100000 machines. Careful estimates
for the coming year place the output
at $4,000 cars, of which four factories
will produce about half and one alone
120O0 cars.
In the history of this trade $685.
100000 worth of foreign cars have
been imported. but America is export
ing far more than she imports. Eight
years ago sales of American cars
reached less than 100000; last year
they were more than S105. 100000.

AFTER LAND SCALPERs
Forester VIII Investigate Unpaid-for
LandS-Prosecutions Nav FoIIoxx

MAY Follow,
The State land commissioner determin-
ed upon the advertisement of certain
State lands which were sold in 1904, and
have since been abandoned. At the same
time he appointed State Forester Grit
iths to begin an investigation which may
result in prosecutions. A law passed at
the 1908 session of the Legislature direct
ed the land department to sell land for
20 per cent payment down and the re-
mainder in installments There were
about 500 acres of land sold in central
:tnd northern Wisconsin upon which the
first payment was made but no others.
The State forester is directed to exam
inc the land to ascertain if it has been
scalped of its timber. Should such be
the case the State will begin action for
the value of the timber cut. In other
cases when the land is advertised and
sold, the amount received over and above
the balance due plus 70 per cent interest
and indemnity will be returned to the
original purchaser.

Truant Law Brings Ont Horrible
Story of Alleged Crime.

Story of Alleged Crime.
The story of what may prove to have
been horrible murder was told in the
Juvenile Court in Milwaukee when 49,
year-old Stella Luty was brought before
Judge Neelen for not attending school.
In a voice devoid of emotion the child
told the judge that her father, Joseph
Luty, three months ago, in their home in
Junction City, shot and killed her 10
months-old baby brother and escaped. Not
a word of the alleged crime ever had been
told to an officer before. The threats of
the father that he would kill any member
of the family who notified the police 81
fenced all of them, the child declared. The
girl said she did not know where either
her father or mother was. After the al
legged crime, she said, she was taken to
Chicago by her mother, but on what
street they lived she could not tell. Final
ly, she said, her mother turned her over
to Mrs. Marnowsl,y, who brought her to

Longshoreman Killed In CoId Blood,
Supposedly by Burglar.
One of the most cold-blooIed and de-
liberate murders in the criminal annals
of Superior took place there supposedly
Sunday night, but the body of the muir
dered man was not found for several days.
The victim, James Collins, was a we'll
known longshoreman. He was employed
rs grain trimmer on the -four docks and
lived IN a little shack near there. and was
last seen Sunday afternoon. When his
friends missed him one of them went to
the shack only to find that he had been
murdered in his bed, dragged across the
room and thrown in a corner. His face
and head were terribly mutilated. The
led clothes were spattered with blood. 1t
is thought that someone had entered his
shack for the purpose of robbing him and
murdered him to prevent him from giving
any alarm. The slain man mad been
resident of Superior for twenty gears.
