The Danville Browns took an easy

DARWINIsM FIFTY YEARS AFTER

Since Darwin's time, natural selec-

in the heredity of any individual or

the myriad adaptations or life to its

are largely non-adaptive.

DEATHS DECREASING
Quarterly Report of State Board
OF Health Shows a Slight De.
crease in Death Rate
ONLY TWELVE PER THOUSAND

Comparing the first three months of
1909 with the first three months Of
the preceding year in bulletin just
issued, the State Board Of Health finds
there has been a shght decrease in
the death rate. The death list for
the first three months Of 1909 aggre-
gates 1896, as compared with 1926
for the same period last year. So
small a fucuation is not Indicative
of changed conditions, says the bulle-
tin, "and serves to emphasize that
the agents which produce our deaths
from preventable diseases are fairly
constant through any given period of
time.'
The death rate for the last three
months is estimated by the Board at
twelve per thousand Of population.
The rate is found to be the lowest in
the northern sections, but the Board
has been conducting an investigation
and finds that in some cases deaths
are not quickly reported as required.
When such cases are fully established
the Board Indicates that II will pro-
coed against the guilty persons in ac-
cordance with the law
The important causes of death dur
ing the first three months Of the year
were: Pulmonary tuberculosis, $50;
other tuberculosis, 102; typhoid fever,
95; diphtheria, 116, Scarlet fever 65;
measles, %; typhoid fever, 90; pneu-
monia, 942; cancer, 315 and violence
314.
Comparing the mortality reports for
two like periods the Board finds that
there is slight increase in the num-
Der Of deaths Of persons under one
year of age and a decrease-more
marked-of persons over IS years Old
An increase of twenty four deaths
from pulmonary tuberculosis is noted
and decrease Of 235 from influenza.
Of the accidental deaths sixty re-
suited from suicide, forty-fv from
burns and scalds, sixteen from gun
shot wounds and two from automo-
biles.
Five deaths were due to smallpox.

T. LAW OPERATIVE JULY /
Attorney General of State Declares
Law Will Soon be in Force

Doubts as to whether the new di-
vorce law passed by the last legisla-
ture is operative have been dispelled
by Attorney General F. L. Gilbert and
Assemblyman Ingram of Durand. The
doubts arose because of the absence of
any clause in the law setting forth the
time when it should take effect, and
Assistant Attorney General Titus was
quoted at Appleton as having said that
for this reason the law would be in
operative. 1t has been settled def
initely that the law will stand and
that it will be in effect after July
l, this year.
Assemblyman ingram says in let
ter bearing on the question at issue:
''Section 1915 of the statutes (chap-
ter 5, laws Of 1907 provides: Every
law or act which does not expressly
prescribe the time when it shall go
into operation shall take effect and
be in force from and after the first
day of July next succeeding the pas
sage and publication thereof
1t was deemed best by those who
considered the bill in the legislature
that this law should not go into effect
until July l of this year, and for that
reason the .enacting clause commonly
used was stricken out.

Great Gathering Of MethOdists of
Wisconsin To Be Held Second
Week in September
INTERESTING PROGRAM READY
prominent Methodists From all Parts
of the World Will Come to Kenosha
to Take Part in Work of
Annual Conference

The Wisconsin conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, compris,
ing the eastern part Of the state, and
numbering some two hundred members,
will meet in Kenosha during the week
beginning September and continuing
to September 18th. This is the first
time since 1921 years ago. Since
then Oshkosh has entertained four
times, Appleton, four, Racine, four;
Milwaukee, seven; Waukesha, three !;
Whitewater, three; GAINESVILLE, two;
and Waupun, two. 1t is time for
Kenosha. With one Of the best and
most convenient church buildings, and
one of the most competent member
ships in the west Kenosha may be ex-
pected to offer an unequaled entertain
ment, already plans for that are under
way.
Not only will this session Of the con
ference be of interest and help the
Methodists of Kenosha, but every
church organization in the city will be
benefited, and the city itself in its re-
ligious, intellectual and social life will
be greatly helped A notable Sunday
school institute, open to all, will run
throughout the session. This will set
forth the most advanced Sunday school
methods and principles by the most
expert directors the church possesses.
Great and inspiring lectures on the
great mission fields of the world, great
educational, social and philanthropic
interests will be presented by experts
from all parts of the world. 1t is
perfectly safe to say that no Chautau-
qua program in the state can furnish
a larger or better class of speakers
All of these exercises will be open to
the public-if they can get in. Bishop
Mcdowell, one Of the newest and one
of the finest tempered bishops of the
Board, will preside. His daily addresses
to the conference, at the opening of
the sessions will be of rare quality.
Arrangements are already under way
looking to these meetings. The pas
tor of the church will in a few days
begin his canvass for the entertain
ment. If any persons are likely to be
overlooked who ought to be reached,
or any who are likely to be absent
from the city, but who care to share in
the work of entertainment, these are
kindly asked to communicate with the
pastor, Scion G. Bronson, SOL Main St.

MUST GUARD HELAND
State Department of Agriculture
Sends Out Interesting BulIe.
tin on Fertilizers
HOW TO MAINTAIN THE SOIL

A conservative estimate shows that
100000 pounds of phosphoric acid,
worth $750,000, is lost annually from
Wisconsin farms, A. r, Whi.son and
@. w. Stoddard write in Bulletin la
of the Agricultural Experiment Station
of the University Of Wisconsin, just is
sued In discussing the conservation
of phosphates on Wisconsin farms, it
is pointed out that this great loss in
soil fertility occurs through the sale
of animals and grains and losses in
handling stable manure.
The loss of two-thirds of the phos-
pilates thus removed is due to poor
method in handing farm manures.
On the average 100acre dairy farm,
the writer's state, there is a net annual
loss of 80 pounds Of phosphoric acid.
On typical 100 acre grain farm there
is an annual loss Of 615 pounds of the
acid. Examinations of large num-
Der Of soils show that in SO years of
cropping more than one-third of the
total phosphoric acid has been removed,
and the remaining two thirds is by no
means as readily available as that
which was lost.
The Importance of phosphates to the
agriculture Of the state has not been
sufficiently recognized by farmers.
Phosphate is required in the growth
of all crops, entering chiefly into the
seed and therefore being removed from
the farm when grain is sold. Phos-
pilates are apt to be lacking in old
soils, having been removed by repeat
ed cropping. Such soils are exhaust
ed and will not return profitable yields
unless heavily fortified with phos-
pilates.
Experiments with phosphate fertiliz-
ers show that on old exhausted lands
the application of 800 pounds per acre
of acid phosphate greatly increased the
yields. Even new lands are often de-
ficient in available phosphates, Rock
phosphate supplementing manure in
creases yields to a marked degree
Acid soils usually need phosphate fer
tilizers.
There are two methods of maintain
ing soil phosphates, states the bulle-
tin: by the purchase of feeding stuffs
containing phosphates, and by the pur-
chase of phosphate fertilizers. By
buying bran for feeding, phosphates
may be largely maintained on dairy
farms. BY the intelligent use Of i'm
ported phosphate fertilizers, also, such
as ground steam bone heal, raw rock
phosphate, and acid phosphate, the
phosphates of most soils may be abso-
lutely maintained at a moderate cost.

BUY RIGHT OF WAY
Officials of Chicago, kenosha &
Milwaukee Slowly Securing
Land for the Road
SEE NO TROUBLE AHEAD
Officials Have Not Urged Demand for
Certificate of Convenience and
Necessity but Think it
Will be Granted
SEE NO TROUBLE AHEAD

The officials Of the Chicago, Keno
sha and Milwaukee Electric Railway
Company are busy again and during
the past few days the company has
closed up deals for the purchase Of
more right of way and it is stated
that the company plans to push the
scheme of building the road between
Chicago and Milwaukee this fall and
next spring. The company now has
the right Of way for the road between
Waukegan and Chicago and at the
time the application was made to the
State Railroad Commission the latter
part Of last December for certificate
of convenience and necessity this was
the only portion of the line named for
immediate construction. In the past
month, however, the company's officials
and attorneys have purchased portions
of the right of way between Wauke-
gan and Evanston and between Keno
sha and Racine and the attorney for
the company declared this morning
that the work of buying the right of
way was being taken care of as
rapidly as possible. The officials of
the company hope to be able to pur-
chase the larger part Of the right of
way without applying to the courts.
This policy was pursued between Ke-
nosha and Waukegan and not sin
gle action was started in the courts in
connection with the purchase Of this
long strip Of land. 1t is declared that
the matter of securing permit from
the State Railroad Commission has
not been urged this year, but that
the officers of the company have been
given to understand that this permit
will be granted when the company is
ready to go ahead with the work of
building the line.
One Of the officials Of the company
in speaking of the matter this morn
ing said: "We are just waiting for
times to get a little better and the in
dications at the present time are that
the road will be started and a good
portion Of it built during 1910. We
have not been pushing the matter
more than to purchase portions of the
right of way on account of the fact
that financial conditions have not been
just the best for railway construction.
Inere is no doubt but that the line
will ultimately be built all the way
from Chicago to Milwaukee and we
are not anticipating any great opposi-
ton either before the Railway Com
mission of Wisconsin or in getting the
right of way"
It looks as if the company will be
forced to condemn a right of way
through Kenosha if the line passes
through the city, but as yet no steps
have been taken in this direction.
