The people along the unpaved
streets occupied by the street car com
pany appreciate the efforts of the com
pany to keep down the dust raised by
the cars by sprinkling, but they would
show more appreciation for more
sprinkling. CONDITIONS on these streets
are a great deal better this summer than
they have been for several seasons, but
they could be vastly improved with
only little more work. The dust
raised by the cars has always been one
of the principal objections raised by
property owners to the use of their
streets by the car lines.

KRADWELL DRUG COMPANY
Seven Stores-Six in Racine and One
in Kenosha

The largest drug company of the
northwest makes an interesting an
nouncement:
"Inventory returns from our central
Office show an increase of SO 1-3 per
cent over any previous year in the
history of our Kenosha branch. Chi
cago shoppers have discovered that in
the drug line, embodying drugs, rub
Der goods, perfumes, face powders and
talcum powders, tooth brushes, soaps,
sponges, chamois, ETC., we can sell
them just as cheaply as the bargain
counters of the city, and having dis
covered same are leaving that trade
here, which is delivered free and
promptly whether ordered in person or
by phone.
"The high grade Of ice cream served
at the fountain and in bricks has won
for us a handsome increase in that
line. Our prescription trade has al
ways been our leader and is increasing
each year. The package candy count
er comprising the Menier, Morse,
Lowney, Foss and Craftmans Guild
lines, is making good and we are in
creasing the stock in that department.
The excellence Of our cigar Humidor
case equipment explains the growth of
our trade in that direction and so on
through all the lines that go to make
up an up-to-date drug store.
"And we have you to thank for it,
and we do. Others, we invite to call,
and open up an account at the family
trade drug store of Kenosha where you
will be made to feel at home Krad-
wells, 215 Main street. Phones IS
and a. Brick cream the year
around''

Footing the Panama Canal Bill
Authority was provided long ago for
the issuance Of bonds in order &c
finance the construction of the Pana-
ma canal hence the recent raising Of
the authorization to almost treble the
original amount introduces no new
principle into the canal problem. The
initial cost of setting the great I'M
dertaking going-that is. the payments.
to the French Canal company and to
Panama-was paid out of funds in
the treasury with the understanding
that bonds would be issued to defray
the construction bills, thus distribut-
ing the burden over the years. The
present plan is to issue bonds for
1915. 100000 in all and turn back into
the treasury from the proceeds of
their sale the $50.oO0,O00 expended at
the outset.
But for the large deficit in the treas
ury the increased bond issue might
not have been thought Of at this time.
No one would seriously propose a halt
in canal construction. The treasury
needs the money" it has already paid
out on the canal, and the estimates
for the total cost OF construction have
been doubled since the issue of $780,
100000 of bonds was authorized. The
questions Of whether the larger issue
shall be for a short time or a long
time and the rate of interest are in
volved with difficulties in the fnan-
cial sphers, but the authorization
shows that the digging is to go ahead
even though the outlook is less rosy
than we would like.

The following appreciation of Gen.
eral Falk is taken from the Milwau-
kee Sentinel and every one in Keno
sEa who watched the course of events
during the troubles at the tannery is
heartily agreed with that paper in it's
estimation of the value of his services
to this city and to the state. He was
the right man in the right place if
there ever was one and his scrupu1ous
avoidance Of any appearance of taking
either side in the ulspute and the i'm
preston he conveyed that he was ready
to do his full duty in suppressing law
lessness of any description had an eff
feet that can hardly be overestimated
from the moment of his arrival in the
city and gave his counsel and advice
great weight with all the warning in
terests involved in the controversy. A
man Of less tact and discretion could
very easily have made a bad matter
worse and the fact that both employers
and employees acknowledge that he did
much to aid in settling their differences
is the highest possible tribute to him
both as man and al officer of the
state. The Sentinel says:
Thanks to factors making for a
return of reasonableness and good
sense, the once threatening situation at
Kenosha seems to be simmering down,
promising peaceable adjustment OF the
issues. For this credit seems to be
chiefly due to the tact, fairness and
Intelligent use OF the forces at his
disposal Of uen. Falk.
"He has scrupulously avoided all
appearance Of taking sides in the dis
pute He was simply on the side of
good citizenship and public order. He
was not there to favor either side to
the labor quarrel, but to keep the peace
of the state. And to those most con
cerned he let it be known that he was
|
on the job. He gave a wholesome i'm
preston of fairness coupled with firm
ness.
His tribute to the good conduct of
the striking employees so far as his OBJ
servation went, breeds the wish that
these men will get serupulously fair
and considerate treatment in the final
settlement. A man can be a Jealous
and loyal officer in the national guard
and a sound and honest friend to labor
at the same time
The paving of Market Square is one
t of the greatest improvements ever
undertaken by the city and an old
residen returning to the city will have
difficulty in recognizing the place when
the work is completed. The paving
of the square and the location of the
new postoffice building will make all of
the property bordering on the square
first class business locations. OF
course the work is yet to be paid for,
but perhaps the taxpayers will give
up easier when they see what they are
going to get for their money.

The new managers of the street rail

The new managers of the street rail
way company have shown decided
respect for public opinion and desire
to stand well with all of the people
of the city ever since they took pos
session of the road. That being the
case it is safe to say that the COM
pany's share of the work on Grand
avenue will be completed as soon as
possible although the franchise on that
street gives the company until March
first to fix the street. The company
managers will make the road solid
with the people on Grand avenue by
seeing to it that they are not respon-
sible for any delays in the work of
widening that street.

Our future captains of industry are
probably to be found, as were most of
the present, in obscure positions. They
are rodmen ON the way to becoming
heads Of great engineering concerns;
train dispatchers en- route for railway
presidents; clerks in country stores
fitting themselves all unconsciously to
be financial leaders. The peculiar
qualities which make them what they
are cannot be taught; they are partly
the gift of nature, and party beaten
out in the hard school of experience.

Indiana Man May be Elected Comman-
der in Chief Of e. A. e.

Members of the Wisconsin depart
ment of the Grand Army are preparing
for the annual cneampment in Salt
Lake City next month. 1t is probable
that the headquarter train bearing
Department Commander w. II. Grinell,
Beloit and his staff, will leave Mil
Waukee on Aug. 5.
In former years the Wisconsin de-
partment has had a special train, but
this year the members who will at
tend the Salt Lake encampment will
be carried in special cars attached to
regular trains.
Contrary to the usual custom no
bands viii be taken. The citizens of
Salt Lake City have made arrange
ments for music.
Among the Wisconsin members of
the Grand Army there is no doubt but
that w. A. Ketcham, Indianapolis,
will be elected commander in chief.
He will receive tie support of the

One of the minor results Of the
strike, which In the long run may not
prove to be such a minor result after
all, is the determination of the police

that they are accountable to the Com
mission only and that no politician
can get them for doing their duty.

THOUGHT HE
WAS KIDNAPPED
Little Walter Flewelling
Missed From Home and
Folks Are Suspicious.

The Hammond police and the pa
rents of little S-year-old Waiter Flew
elling thought for time yesterday that
Hammond would have whitla kidnap-
ping case.
Walter Flewelling is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. James Flewelling, S23 Indi-
ana avenue Hammond. Yesterday aft
ernoon at l o'clock the little fellow
was left in front of his house and
suddenly disappeared.
AS the boy a bright little fellow,
was never known to leave home, the
parents at once became very much ex-
ercised over his disappearance. They
made a hasty search of the neighbor-
hood.
George Houser saddled up his horse
and in few minutes was riding all
over town in search of the little fellow
Finally he was found in the vicinity OF
Calumet avenue and Michigan avenue
at 4 o'clock, three hours later.
The anxiety of the mother who has
been reading of the disappearance OF
the Whitla boy, may be imagined and
she was delighted when she found him
safely returned hom, and she believes
that the little lad was induced to leave
home by some stranger, who later be-
came frightened.

DRASTIC
ACTION IS
NOW TAKEN
Chief of Police Peter Aust
gen Begins a Crusade
Against Low Dance Halls;
Girls Are to Be Arrested
When Found There.

A clear regulation of dance halls will
be the policy of Chief of Police Peter
Austgen as a result Of the revelations
which have been made through the ar
rest of several delinquent girls.
Chief Austgen has issued an ultima
tum to the effect that any girls un-
der the age of II years who are caught
IN dance halls where Intoxicating liz
quors are sold in adjoining saloons
will be arrested and prosecuted.
Chief Austgen has become convinced
that the low dance hall is a vicious in
stitution. and that it has lead many
respectable girls to their ruin in Ham
mond. The girls are given drinks by
their male companions and then their
ruin is easy.
Since the revelations, which have
been brought by the arrest of the six
girls recently, public sentiment has
been aroused against the wine rooms
and the low saloons which they are
allowed to frequent, and it Is said tha,
the more discrete keepers of saloons
are in favor of drastic action by the
police to put stop to this evil

GARY GETS IT At LAST
Free Delivery Is Soon to Be
Installed in the New
Steel City.

The people of Gary were delighted
this afternoon over the receipt of the
information that free delivery is to be
installed in the new steel city at once.
Gary has been allotted four carriers
and two substitutes and they are ex-
pected to be covering their routes by
the 18th of next month
Examinations will be held at once,
and as soon as these are completed and
the papers sent in for correction the
announcement of the new carriers VIII
be made.
Gary is fortunate in securing its free
delivery service so soon on account OF
the splendid condition of the streets
and walks in Gary, and because the
people. with characteristic enterprise
have numbered their houses and full
filed the other requirements of the
postoffce department to the letter.
Postmaster J. W. Call received the
announcement of the allotment of car
riers this morning. This will relieve
the congestion in the Gary Office and
will make the postmastership a plum
where It has heretofore been burden
