LOEP CASE DISMISSED
One Witness For State in Saloon Case
Too Drunk to Give Evidence

loo Drunk TO GIVE Evidence
One of the most disgusting scenes
ever enacted in Justice Court in Ke-
nosha took place on Thursday after
noon when District Attorney Baker
was forced to dismiss the trial Of Joseph
Loef charged with selling liquor to a
minor on account of the fact that Ole
Hertzberger, one of the witnesses for
the state, was so drunk that he could
not take the witness stand. The Hertz
berger boy is minor and it seems that
when the case was adjourned at noon
pending the drawing Of a jury Hertz
berger managed to get hold of lot of
liquor. The jury was secured and the
ase started but Hertzberger was unable
to go on the stand At the order Of the
court the boy was arrested on a charge
Of intoxication District Attorney Bak-
er has started an investigation into the
case and it is pretty cerain that if it
can be found where the boy got the
liquor the man who sold it will suffer
a heavy penalty. The condition of the
witness forced the district attorney to
give up any plans he had for trying the
case and there was nothing to be done
but dismiss the action.

THE ROAD DRAG
State Department Shows How to Best
Handle Road Improvement Machinery


Don t make the drag too heavy. 1t
should be light enough for one man to
lift and for two horses to pull with
ease It should be made with an 8 to
IL inch log, to feet long, split in
half and securely braced so one face is
80 to So inches behind the other. Cedar,
elm walnut and maple logs make good
drags. In making plank drag use 2
or planks braced along the back with
piece of 4.
The road should be well crowned be-
fore dragging. If badly rutted it is
we'll to drag once or twice when the
road is slushy. Afterward it should be
dragged when the soil is moist, but not
sticky. Don It drag when the road is
nearly dried out. Drag the dirt toward
the center little at time. The drag
is not meant to displace the road ma
chine. Many make the mistake Of try
ing to make the road in one trial. It
is essential for dagging success that
only a light coating be smeared on the
surface each time.
If the drag is properly and conscienti-
ously used it will keep dirt roads in
smooth and hard condition at less ex-
pense than any other tool yet discover
ed. Don't despise the drag because it
is simple and cheap. The universal
success which has met it's use makes
it well worth investigating. Send to
the Highway Division, Madison, for
copy of road pamphlet No. 2 and learn
more about it.

TAKE TWENTY SIX HOBBS
Police Pick Up a Wagon Load of Wan
derers on West Side Friday Evening

Grooming under weight of twenty
six hobos the patrol wagon was backed
up to the Jail just after seven o clock
Friday night and the load of men who
had been packed into the wagon were
transferred to the tramp room complete
ly filing the spacious quarters The
men had been making trouble for the
people of the west side Of the city.
They had been not only begging from
house to house, but when refused food
or money they had abused the people
In the houses and even. threatened them
with violence. A dozen complaints
were received by the police before the
final round up was made. This morning
the men were marched to the city

was made the more mandatory by a
generous application of the boots Of the
officers. It is not thought that the
same band will be seen in Kenosha
again this season.

ONE OUGHT TO KNOW
HOW TO STRENGTHEN THE ORGANS
OF DIGESTION.



There are plenty of remedies by which
YOU can relieve for the time heartburn,
pain and gas on the stomach and can
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. But when you take your
next meal all your troubles begin afresh.
There is only one sensible thing to do.
Strengthen the stomach and do away
with the necessity for drugs and artl-
fetal foods. The stomach, once III proper
condition, will do is own work better
than any process devised by man can
ever do it. When it Is again strong
don't abuse it. Learn to choose rational
food in general, aud to study the effect
even of that, as yours may at best be a
frcakish stomach.
Mr.. John n. Dietrich, of 23l East
Morris street, indianapolis, Ind, tried a
treatment that has cured thousands and

good and upon advice of a relative be-
gan TO take DR. Williams Pink Pills.
Although l had been sick for nearly
three years, felt better right away
after taking the pills. My appetite
