HAD TO BE vACCINATED
Kenosha Men Forced to Bare Arms AT
ter Being Near. Man With Smallpox

There are four people>in Kenosha to-
day nursing sore. arms which are the re-
suit Of vaccination enforced upon them
on last Saturday afternoon by the
Health Officers Of the City of Chicago
One Of the prominent men Of the city
came in from California and on the
same train with him was man found
to be suffering from small pox. The
health officers of Chicago became aware
of this fact and the train was stopped
just before it reached the Northwestern
station and every passenger on the
train was vaccinated. Later it was
learned that one of the men afflicted
with small poxa had mingled with a
crowd in the waiting room at the North
western and the stern health officers
demanded that all the people in the
waiting room submit to vaccination.
There were three Kenosha people in the
list vaccinated at that time

Hereafter any of the towns in the
county which have bridges to build will
do we'll to have the plans and the esti-
mates of the contractors checked up by
the experts of the state Geological Sur
vey. The services of this department
have been placed at the disposal of all
the counties of the state without any
cost to them whatever and the expert
knowledge and advice of it's engineers
will save many dollar to the town
boards and will doubtless result in more
suitable bridges being built at a de-
creased cost to the taxpayers Hither-
to town boards that were obliged to
contract for bridges have been more
or less at the mercy of the engineers
of the bridge companies and with all
due respect to the abilities Of these
gentlemen it must be said that the
bridges they built were not always the
most suitable or the cheapest for the
towns.

PEOPLE REFUSING TO BUY

Public protest against the high
ticularly beef and mutton is taking
form little to the liking of the whole
sale and retail dealers Not in many
years has the public generally objected
$50 vigorously to the extravagant
values they are called on to pay for
meats. The result has been curtail-
ment of the consumption on scale not
deemed possible a few months ago.
Meat statesmen all over Chicago, as
well as in other large acities assert that.
their trade has fallen off SO per cent in
the last month. The same complaint
of poor demand is heard from shippers
of live cattle and dressed beef to New
York and other eastern points.
The consuming public has evidently
|unwittingly taken the only course that
will bring about lower prices, and, by
the substitution of other foods for the
higher priced meats, is causing the
meat dealers to sit up and take notice.
The advances in the price of all live
stock last March caused big rise in
Wholesale and retail prices of fresh and
cured meats. but more particularly
fresh beef and mutton. Since then
there has been a gradual lowering Of
pork prices. but small reductions have
been made#in the retail values Of the
other meats
On the other hand, fresh eggs have
fairly .glutted the marget, and current
quotations fol. Vegetables have not been
exorbitant. Substitution has conse-
quent1y beer. general, especially among
the laboring classes, who for the last
few years have been buying the best
cuts Of meats on the market.
| Operations by the big packing con-
Ieerns have also been largely curtailed,
| the lack of demand being the prime
factor in the situation. The cash de-
mand for all kinds of Packingtown pro-
ducts is the poorest known in the trade
for years.
Fortunately for the big dealers and
shippers receipts of live stock Of all
kinds have been comparatively light,
which has prevented a wholesale
smashing of values. AS it is, many
conservative meat men are predicting a
severe readjustment Of prices, both
Wholesale and retail, in the near future.

A number of the candidates at the
primary have failed to file their &C
counts, but they do not seem to be
worried for fear that they will be
made to suffer for their neglect to com
ply with the law. This law requiring
all candidates to file a statement Of
their election expenses has been farce
from the beginning and it should be
wiped off the statute books of the state
by the next legislature. Candidates
may comply with the letter OF the law,
but never with its spirit and all of the
elaborate provisions for it's enforcement
are just so much red tape that have no
weight with anybody. There have
been hundreds of violations Of this law
at every election since it was passed
and not a single prosecution for any
Of these fixtures to comply with its
provisions and there will be none un-
less some careless candidate is made
the victim of spite work.

Should any of the Kenosha teachers
be so fortunate as to secure a chance
to join the trip to England which is
being planned by the National Civic
Federation, the school board will doubt
less be willing to do it's part by grant
ing the teacher a furlough and being
as generous in the matter Of paying
salary as any Of the other cities
Places with this excursion will be
eagerly sought and as only representa-
tive teachers will be taken it would be
quite an honor for Kenosha to- have a
teacher with the party.

AS between the new man and the man
with experience, in ordinary business
the experienced man is generally pre-
ferred, but the rule does not always
apply in municipal affairs. The new
man in his desire to make record will
often tackle problems that his expert
enced predecessor was careful not to
touch and he sometimes eaccomphshes a
good deal before he becomes discourag-
ed by the Indifference of those who are
supposed to work with him and support
his efforts to better his department of

Should an epidemic sweep this state
and it's victims number only half as
many as are claimed annually by tub
erculosis, money would be poured out
like water to check it's progress and
nothing that money could buy would
be left untried to ascertain it's causes
and to provide against any repetition
Of the epidemic and it will be dis
grace to the state if all the money
needed to carry on the educational
campaign against the "white plague"
is not promptly forthcoming. Any
failure to provide the necessary funds
to educate the masses Of the people in
the knowledge that tuberculosis is. both
preventable and a durable disease
will be lastingadisgrace to the state.

Members Of. Council and City Of.
ficiaIs the Guests Of Mayor
SchoIey Last Evening
The MAYOR GIVES NEW PLANS

Mayor Scholey was. in his element
last night when after the. rather siren
uous meeting of the Common Council
he entertained the members of the
Council and the city. officials at ban
.quet at. the Jacobsen Brothers cafe and
the banquet was one Of the biggest poll
tical feasts ever held in the city. The
doors Of the cafe were. closed to the
public promptly at eleven 0 o'clock and
for the next three hours the members
of the official force wined and dined
and toasted the mayor and each other
until there was nothing left to be said.
The arrangements for the banquet
were perfect. The tables were set in
the form Of square and covers were
laid for thirty five. About the tables
was wealth Of flowers and ferns and
all the settings Of the banquet were in
the nature of a celebration of the vic
tory Of the mayor. The small loaves
of bread at each plate were marked
"Scholey $685. while larger ones de-
clared in no uncertain terms the vic
tory Of the administration.
A ten course dinner was served after
which there was a long list Of toasts
Attorney John G. Slater was named as
POSTMASTER and in opening the post
prandial exercises he declared that
he was highly gratifed at the
manner in which the new mayor
had started out to govern the city and
that he was Convinced that the city
was certain Of good administration.
Following the address by the city at
torney there were short talks by City
Health Officer. j. B. Spalding, Chief of
Police Owen O'Hare, City Clerk Har-
rington and then every member of the
Council was called upon to respond in
some way. Some of them told a story.
one sang a song while Alderman Tully
recited a poem in which he glorifed
the new city executive. %Ff
The piece de resistance of the ban
quet was the address of the mayor
which came at the close of the festivi-
ties. Mr.. Scholey was little personal
III his remarks. He declared that he
was proud of the fact that eight years
ago he was an unknown bartender on
Main street and that he was proud Of
the fact that he had been elected bv
the largest majority ever givenga mayor
OF Kenosha, but that while proud of
these facts he was DESTROYS ofztreating
every one in the city with fairness and
that IN the Council he would lay aside
all ideas Of Republicans and Democrats
and treat every member of the Council
alike. He urged the members of the
Council to work in harmony during the
year and assured them that he would
be ready at any time to work in single
or double harness to help in doing any
thing that would better conditions in
the city. He declared that inethe fnt-
ure he would call special meeting of
the Council on each Friday preceding
the regular meeting night and that he
would expect this meeting to be behind
closed doors and that then would he
