original and only Buffalo Bill, will be
at the head of an exhibition of many
and varied features. To the small boy

MANY At MADISON
Summer School at University Of
Wisconsin Most Successful

gree. Prof. Eugene Wambagh Of Har-
ward, will assist the regular law school

tion, special courses for teachers are

The telephone company has done
away with a prolific source of com
plants by doing away with the charge
for connection from the city with
its subscribers on its. country lines. It
is very doubtful if this rate would
have been sustained by the State Rail
road Commission had any one taken
the trouble to bring the matter before
that body and the revenues from this
charge could hardly have been large
enough to compensate the company for
the annoyance it caused it's subscribers
and the bad feeling it engendered all
around. Leaving out of consideration
all question of the right of the com
pany to charge these small fees for
country connections the fact that it
has voluntarily relinquished them
shows that it is the policy of the
present. local management to stand
well with the public, which in itself is
a great change from the old arbitrary
methods of conducting its business.

the local banks. Smith told the
physicians making the examination
that insanirary was hereditary in his
family. 1t is probable that the friends

STORM WORKS HAVOC
Fierce Rain and Electric Storm
Passes Over kenosha at End
of Hot Day Friday
YULE HOME TARGET FOR BOLT

One Of the, worst electric and rain
storms in the history of the city passed
over Kenosha between six and nine
0 clock Friday evening and all parts
of the city and county were hard hit
by the storm. The storm came at the
end of one of the hottest days of the
year in Kenosha and it was accom-
panied by a wind which had a velocity
of more than fifty miles an hour The
wind and rain and lighting did great
damage throughout the county and in
terfered with the work Of public SER
vice corporations during the entire
night. The rain fell in torrents for
more than two hours and so heavy was
the down pour that it filled the sewers
to overlooking and many cellars were
filed with water. Out through the
county the storm was even more severe
than in the city. The wind leveled
fences and trees and even blew down
small buildings. Great damage was
done to the standing crops and rye and
barley which was just about ready to
cut was thrown down and tangled in
some places so that it will be almost
impossible to harvest it.
The traffic on the lines of the Keno
sha Electric Railway Company was bad
ly iLterfered with. Several live
wires were down in different parts of
the city and the Kenosha Gas and
Electric Company had force of men
at work most of the night repairing
the damage done by the storm. On
Ashland avenue near Pomeroy street
live wire fell across the street and
great excitement was caused when an
automobile from chicago struck this
wire. Fortunately none of the people
of the party was injured. The Keno
sha Home Telephone Company suffered
great damage from the storm and when
the clouds lifted it was found that
more than two hundred phones were
out of order.
Considerable damage was done by
| lightning in the city Just after seven
o CLOCK the residence of George Yule
on Park avenue was struck by light
mag. The bolt shattered the chin
ney and entered the house, but no FIRE
followed. Mr. and Mrs. Yule were in
the large hall of the house when the
bolt struck They Were not injured in
any way. Trees in several parts of
the city were struck by the lightning
and twisted in a fantastic manner. The
storm was general throughout the state
and great damage is reported.
Traffic on the Chicago and Milwau-
kee and the Kenosha Electric railways
was badly interfered with on account of
the fact that one of the transfer
plants at HighWood was struck by
| lightning For more than two hours
there was nc power 90 operate cars and
the traffic on both lines was at stand
still The power plant of the com
pany north of Kenosha was also affect
ed by the storm and this made it i'm
possible to get emergency power from
that source. Both of the lines were
in perfect working order this morn
ing.

Reports of horses being driven to
death or cruelty abused by their
drivers have been altogether too mum
erous lately and it is certain that not
nearly all of the cases are brought to
the notice of the agent of the Humane
Society for it is always a difficult
matter to get any one to give informa-
ton against these brutes in human
form even when it is a matter of
neighborhood gossip that they have
been guilty Of extreme and repeated
acts of cruelty 1t should be more
generally understood, however, that all
communications to the society are held
strictly confidential and that people
giving information of any matters
which they believe should, be brought
Ito the attention of the society are
never forced to appear in any actions
IN the courts which may be started by
the society unless they are perfectly
willing to do so. The society works
up its Own cases.
