United States Engineer in Charge
of This DistrIcr TO Make
Tours by Lake
NEW YACHT T. TO COST $4,000

When Major w. V. Judson, United
States Engineer in charge of this dis
trict visits the several ports during
the marine season he will not make
the tours Of inspection by railroad, but
will have a new steel yacht and auxili-
airy which is to cost $4,000 and which
will be ready in the spring. The yacht
is now under course Of construction at
the yards of the Manitowoc Dry Dock
Co., in Manitowoc.
The new craft is 100 feet long and
20 foot beam and will be in the nature
of combination tug and cruising
yacht. She will be deliberately fitted
out with all the modern conveniences,
including living rooms, kitchen, in
fact everything to provide comfort
and utility.
The name of the new craft will be
"The Engineer. She will be in the
nature Of survey boat and will be of
such draft that Major Judson will be
enabled to take soundings along the
shore. Work on the new craft has
been progressing for some time at the
ship yards and she will be ready for
delivery at the opening Of navigation
this spring.
Major Judson, heretofore, has had
to make most Of his trips out Of Mil
waukee to Racine, Kenosha, Sheboy-
gan, Manitowoc, Sturgeon Bay, Ke-
weenaw and Algoma by train and then
go out to inspect the shore and harbor
work in tugs or steam launches. Now
he will be able to make the trip en-
tirely in "The Engineer"
The new boat will have much the
appearance of trim little pleasure
launch.

keDosha County Poultry Associa.
ton Employs Judges for Show
To Be Held Here Next Fall
ADMINISTRATION UNITE

At the meeting Of the Kenosha
County Poultry Fanciers' Association
at Carpenters Hall last night, the dates
for the First Annual Exhibition in Ke-
nosha were arranged. The first exhi-
bition of the new Poultry Association
will be held Nov. 30th to Dec. 9th this
year. The association has been very
fortunate in securing practically the
best poultry judge in the country, F.
Fl. Shellabarger, of West Liberty, Iowa.
Mr.. Shellabarger reputation as a fair
and honest judge, has stood with him
in his long life of poultry judging and
it is a known fact among poultry breed
ers throughout the United States that
if you can win under Judge Shellabar-
ger you can win anywhere.
The early dates were arranged for on
account Of their close proximity to the
big Chicago show, which will be held
in the middle part Of Dec. This will
allow all exhibitors a good opportunity
to have their birds judged by cap
able man and will give them an idea Of
GuC WOI Ill VI buGII UIIuS UOIOIC Gu0y
are taken to the Chicago show
The membership of the association is
rapidly growing and it is expected that
the Racine association, which is ex-
pected to organize very shortly, will
affiliate with the Kenosha association.
This would make one Of the strongest
associations in the state.
It was agreed upon at last night $
meeting to have card party and smok-
er at Carpenters Hall Tuesday night,
March Both. Refreshments viii be
served and each member will be allow
ed to invite q. friend.
DR.. Hernsheim, the congenial Pleas
ant Prairie farmer, came into the folds
last night and sprung pleasant sur
prise, declaring that he would donate
a $500 silver cup to be placed on
Barred Rocks Mr.. Hernsheim s cup
was accepted and a. vote of thanks was
extended him by the members in token
of their appreciation of his gift to
make the first annual exhibition a sue
cess.

The "barkers" made a nuisance of
themselves during the church sessions
on Sunday morning and disturbed
the congregations in several Of the
churches causing several complaints to
be fled with the chief of police on
Monday morning. The American peo-
pie are long suffering and will stand
good deal of nuisance, but the per-
sons who are responsible for Sunday
"barkers" should remember the story
of the "last straw" and be careful
they don't bring down a general
"Sunday closing' about their heads.
The man who urges too strongly that
the people look into his record should
be taken at his word. The records of
such men usually will not bear investi-
eating.

INDTSCRIMTNATE ISLANDER

The country is experiencing a. carni-
val Of mudslinging. Many are in the
game, and of the exhilaration of the
sport there is born a relish for it.
Were an inhabitant of Mars to visit
this mundane sphere he would speedily
conceive that we were a nation Of liars,
thieves, lawbreakers, rascals, scoun-
drels, gargoyles - There is no re
spect for persons. Business, profess
sional, public men Of low and high de-
gree, are plastered with mud. Judges
of high courts are charged with being
venal and corrupt. The governor Of a
great state is charged with instigating
the murder Of a political enemy The
senator Of another great state is reck-
lessly charged with debauching his CON
stituents.
The columns of free press are open
to torrent of abuse and SANDER that
would not be tolerated in any other
civilized land under the sun.
This unworthy feature of our ma
tional life has it's germ in the neigh
borhood gossip with which every com
munity is cursed The scandal mon
gers infest every circle of society.
They are suspicious, jealous, depraved
Often unclean themselves, they sus-
pect everybody else of impurity A
salacious bit of gossip they roll like
a sweet morsel under the tongue Ut
terly irresponsible, irrational and brut-
al, they care not how many names they
smirch, how many regulations they
ruin, how many hearts they break, how
many homes they sha,tter, how many
lives they plunge into despair.
If an example were made of a few
of these traducers of their fellow men
and they were brought to the bar of
justice and punished to the limit Of the
law, there would be an end to this in
discriminate SANDER, and the nation
would be rid Of great curse and dis
grace. Milwaukee Sentinel.

Supreme Court Decides Long
Contested Case 10 Favor of
the Chicago Brass Go.
MUST PAY FOR NOES TOE
Supreme Courts Holds Northwestern
Company Must Pay Kenosha Man
for the Loss of HIS Toe
While Employee

The final chapter in the story of the
suit of Peter Yezick against the Chi
cage Brass Company of this city, one
of the most fercely contested suits ever
tried in the Circuit Court for Kenosha
county, was written at Madison on
Tuesday afternoon when the Supreme
Court handed down a decision sustain
ing the decision of the lower court in
the matter and Yezick can not recover
from the company for injuries which he
is alleged to have sustained. The case
was one of great interest on account
Of the way in which it was disposed
of in, the Circuit Court. At the trial
of the case Yezick was given a verdict
which carried damages to the amount
Of $3.50 bat Judge Belden directed
that the verdict of the jury be set aside
and directed verdict for the defen-
dant company.
Yezick was employed at the plant in
1906 and in September of that year
while at work he slipped and one of
his feet went into pot Of moulten
metal. He was fearfully injured and
he claimed that the injury was per-
manent one. In his suit against the
company, which was originally filed in
the United States Court for the Eastern
District of Wisconsin, Yezick demand
ed damages in the sum of $4,000. The
case was afterward withdI avn from
the United States Court and started in
the Circuit Court here. The trial Of
it lasted many days. Wallace ingalls,
Of Racine and Calvin Stewart of Keno
sha represented Yezick. At the time
the action of the court was severely
criticised by the attorneys for YeMck,
but Judge Belden held that under the
law Yezick was guilty of contributory
negligence and that decision has been
affirmed by the Supreme Court.
Must Pay for Toe
Attorney M. G.. O'Donnell has won
a noteworthy victory over E. M. Hizer,
the well known attorney for the North
western Railway Company, as the Su-
preme Court handed down decision
on Tuesday affirming the decision Of
the lower court in the suit hror ght by
Giuseppe Moe against the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway Company
This case has caused more sport than
any case ever tried in the courts of
the county. Moe was an italian labor
er who had toe cut off by falling
rail while in the employ Of the com
and O'Donnell sued the company in his
behalf claiming damages to the amount
of $500. The jury was found for Moe
and placed his DANCES at 5000. Attor-
ney Hizer claimed that the damages
were excessive and at once appealed
the case. The argument before the Su-
preme Court was held late in December
and the case has been in the hands of
the court since that time.
