From the age of three months until
fifteen years old. my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema in its
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully In
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
Of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as in
durable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy. but had gotten almost
past hoping for cure. Six months
ago We purchased set Of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and today he Is perfectly cured.

Nebraska School Matters.


Reports of county superintendent
for the year 1908 are being nilsd
quite rapidly In the office of State SUI
perintendent McBrien. Reports from
Seward, Sarpy, Cedar. Stanton and
Garfield were received. j. L. Jenkins
of Garfield is the first superintendent
to report from a western county. A
number Of the schools of this county
shared in the appropriation made by
the last legislature to weak school dis
tricts. The wisdom of making such
an appropriation is shown by Super
intendent jenkins report. In 1867
out of thirty-one school district five
held school for q term OF three
months or less. According to the
1908 report, every district In Garfield
county except one held school SIX
months or more during the last year.
Burwell, the only graded school in the
county, collected $11O.25 for high
school tuition.
Superintendent e. H. Hoch Of Sew
ard county reports for male teachers
an average monthly salary of $500
and for female teachers $42.6S. The
report from this county last year
showed $6122 for males and 1888 for
female teachers. Under the high
school tuition law Seward county COL
lected $1.797.9O. OF this amount Beav-
er Crossing received $685.: Milford.
$191.25; Seward, $54O.25; Utica. $685.
Is; Germantown, $3.50; Staplehurst,
$s6.7O; Cordova. $l39.45; Tamora.
$69.25; Bee. SCI.
According to the report Of Super
fntendent C. S. Coney of Stanton coun-
ty, quite an interest has been shown
in the new library law passed by the
last session of the legislature. $553.Sl
being set aside by the rural districts
of Stanton county for the purchase
of reference books. The average
monthly salary paid to male teachers,
as shown by Superintendent Coney's
report for the year 1908. was $59.77
and female teachers $45.24. This is
about 81 higher than was paid the
previous year. District bonds to the
amount of $4,000 were issued by
Stanton county during the last year.
According to the report made by
Superintendent H. A. Collins. seventy
six teachers were employed in the
schools of Sarpy county last year.

MORE SUITS ARE PROMISED
Inform superintendent That
Complaints Have Been Filed by
Property Owners on Other
Streets Against Ordinance.
(From Thursdays Daily. }

It is stated today that there are to be
more attacks in court against the ordi-
nance by which the Kenosha Electric
Railway company is now planning for
the extension of it's tracks in the city
and while the attorneys interested in
the proposed suits are not disposed to
give the company any advance informa-
ton in regard to the streets in question
Attorney Baker who fought the case for
the property owners on Elizabeth street
informed Superintendent Russell of the
company this morning that he had
several other cases under consideration
tackled. He did not state when the
suits would be instituted in court The
officials of the railway company are pre-
pairing for an immediate appeal to the
Supreme Court from the decision Of
Judge Belden in the Circuit Court and
this appeal to higher courts will come
at good time as it will act as an ex-
tension of the time for the work planned
by the company in Kenosha. AS the
company is now enjoined from doing
any work on Elizabeth street, the at
torneys for it hold that this will serve
as delay for work throughout the
city. The delay will be welcomed by
Mr.. Frost and his associates as at this
time the Chicago man is deeply inter
eted in the receivership which is in
charge Of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric and the fight over Elizabeth
street will give him time to make some
to raise funds for the com
pletion of the work in Kenosha.
In the meantime it is said that the
local managers Of the company acting
on the suggestion Of Judge Belden will
go into the Council chamber and ask
that the Council provide for the widen
ing of Elizabeth street by pushing back
the curb lines. This is new PROPOSE
ton to the Council, but it has been
discussed by the people of the street.
taken it will be up to Mr.. Frost to make
the proper arrangements with the prop
erty owners if any change in the width
of the street is made. Although the
court holds in his decision that he does
not invalidate the entire ordinance the
attorneys interested seen to believe
that if this decision is upheld by the
Supreme Court that it will point out a
vulnerable point which will make the
ordinance open to attack by the people
on any street passed over.
The point raised by the court is a
new proposition to the attorneys and
any decision in the case will be watched
with the greatest interest, by railway
men of the state
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1908-05-07

The permanent injunction secured by
the Elizabeth street property owners
against the laying of double tracks on
their street makes the street railway
situation in this city a very complicat
ed one and there is every reason to
believe that it will be long time be-
fore the present tangle is finally
Strengthened out. There are rumors
that the property owners on other
streets that fought the ordinance in the
beginning, encouraged by the success
Of the Elizabeth street property own
ers, are going to take their objections
into court and if the ruling laid down
by the court in passing on this first
case is sustained by the Supreme Court
it is possible that other injunctions
may be granted against the company
AS matter of fact some of the attor-
neys who have made a study of, the
case are inclined to believe that the
injunction just granted invaidates the
whole ordinance and this question also
may have to be passed upon by the
courts. The injunction will probably
operate to give the railway an indefn
tie extension Of the time allowed in
it's franchise for the completion of it's
new lines if the ordinance as it applies
to the other streets is held to be valid
and as an extension of time is believed
to be just what Mr.. Frost is looking
for there will probably be no particular
haste displayed by the company ip
clearing up the situation. Matters may
be left just where they are for many
months and the prospect is not pleas
ing one so far as the city is concerned.
No one can blame the Elizabeth street
property owners for standing up for
their rights but the city is left in
rather helpless situation as result Of
their successful fight in the courts.
