IT HE experts in both the army and the navy are watching with keen interest the development of the heavier-than-air craft. While the of. ficials are not willing to say much pub licly about the possibilities of the use of airships in time of war, they are saying privately that the probability is that when the next great war comes the airship will play more effective part than battleships, land batteries, or great masses of troops.
 The prediction Is freely made by army and navy officials in private that not dollar will ever be spent in forti- flying for the protection of the Panama canal. They have arrived at this con- clusion because they think they fore see that within few years the airship will be brought to stage of perfec- ton that will enable 1t quickly to de- stroy any Notifications that might be erected along the route of the canal.

M ASHINGTON.-The census bureau W has made public figures concern. Ing enough localities to indicate cer- tain interesting trends in the growth oI American population. What stands out nrst is, of course, the general fin. crease Tn population all over the coun- try. While this growth is perhaps more striking in the middle west. or even in the far west, the east is little behind those sections. Increases in clty population rarely fall below 20 per cent. for the last ten years. Often the increase is considerably in excess of 50 per cent
 This growth has been expected. hut there will probably be some surprise to find how far the growth of the cities exceeds that of the rural dis. tricts. Here, save in a few localities there is an increase, but generally 1t Is below ten per cent.
 Some spot fin Illinois may mark the center of population for another ten years. It Is worth while to emphasize

Sept. 18th when the roll was called little Winnie Riner failed to respond. On inquiry as to the cause we were informed that on Sept. 18th the drifting shad- ows of trouble in the form of conjestive fever had gathered over her parental home and at 4 o'clock, P. M., sweet little Win nie in the brightness of an an- gelic form stepped out of hu- manity bidding earth with all of its lovely associations adieu.
 Thus not only our Sunday School has lost one of it's bright est jewell but that parental home with bleeding hearts had to bow in submission as the precious babe was plucked from their bosom to be transplanted in that haven of rest where all is peace and happiness.
 "Earth's loss, Heavens gain
 Papa and Mama's baby is gone,
 Gods child has returned.
 How sad it seems to us that God in His divine goodness and fatherly love suffers the enemy of death to enter the parental home and so ruthlessly take from the bosom of that home the dar- ling and jewel of every heart. Let us not think hard, for this we cannot fully understand while in the flesh we dwell.
 Let us weep not over the va cant seat in the Sunday School. and the parental home caused by the departure of sweet little Winnie, for we have the asSur- ance that while loving friends so tenderly laid her little human form to rest, God in His divine wisdom and goodness received her immortal spirit with Him to dwell in the heavenly home, there to await and beckon those to come that loved her so well.
 Farewell sweet little Winnie for awhile, then we will follow on. Her Superintendent,

No public reason for this failure to make all ap- propriation was ever announced. but 1t Is now pretty we'll understood that the experts in both the war and navy departments suggested that it would be well to defer action until the gov. ernment understands better what to expect of the airship.
 Officials in the army and navy do partments arc greatly impressed with the performances of Glenn Curtiss with his aeroplane at Atlantic City re- gently. Those performances were not under the auspices of either the war department or the navy department but agents of each of the fighting arms were present, and were deeply im- pressed with what Curtiss was abls to do. They have reported to their re- spective departments that from . height that would have protected him reasonably well from a ire directed at him from either land or water. he dropped small articles on boats and on objects on land with remarkable pre- cision.
 Some of the experts from the de partments who saw the Cvrtiss per formances came back firmly convinced that If war should come on tomorrow the aeroplane would be able to do de structive work.

 My Dear Sir: For several weeks 1 have been intending to write you in reguard to your Baby Balm.
 If you remember, when you were here this summer 1 told you that your baby was sick. He was then having his third ;att:.ct of bowel trouble this summer. They were very severe The first two were exceedingly alarming and I suggested to my wife that we try your remedy but she was prejudi4e against patent medicens, so Eas1. but, l know ing you, pave me confidence to some extent, [pardon the modi- fled claue.
 In the last case however my wife agreed to try your Baby Balm. 1 went to my doctor and told him that l wanted to try it. He said he did not know what it contained but to give it a trial. We did, and it worked like a charm. Now my wife will not be without it and the baby has not had a bad case with his bow els since we began using it.
 You know how parents are about the baby. We watch him and if any trouble is indicated Brooks Baby Bowel Balm is put into service promotly and it has not failed to keep him straight so far.
 1 have been at the drug stores here on different occasions when parties come in for baby medi- cine and just can't (and don't.

KENOSHA RELATIVES MAY SUE
Ernest Streek Seventeen Year Old Fire
man From Kenosha Was Among the
Victims of the Disaster Off Port
Hurons

Federal Vessel Inspectors Stewart and
Van LieW who have been investigating
the wreck of the steamers James B.
Wood and Frank III. Goodyear which
collided off Port Huron on May % of
this year, in which wreck 18 lives were
lost among others being Ernst Streek
of this city returned their findings on
Thursday and the report of the inspec
tors will open the way for the relatives
of the men losing their lives in the
wreck to bring an action for damages
against the company owning the steam,
er Goodyear. The inspectors found that
the sailing masters of the vessels had
violated the laws relative to running
at full speed during fog. They re-
voked the license of the sailing mast
er of the Goodyear. The full finding
of the inspectors will not be made pub
lie for some time and at that time it
is probable that the relatives of the
local man who lost his life will take
steps to bring an action for damages.
For long time it was thought pos
sible that Ernst Streek. who was an as
sistant fireman on the steamer Good
year might not have been drowned but
after waiting for more than two
months the members of the family gave
him up for dead and memorial services
were held at the German Lutheran
church. Not trace has been found
of the bodies of any of the victims of
the wreck and it is supposed that they
are being held down by the water soak
ed timbers of the two vessels in thirty
fathoms of water off Port Huron.
Streek was but II years of age and at
the time of the sinking of the Goodyear
he was in the engine room of the steam
er and it is declared by the few mem
bers of the crew who escaped from the
steamer that there was little or no
chance of his escaping. Ever since the
day of the accident life savers have
dragged in the neighborhood of the
wreck with view of finding some of
the bodies but this search has been
devoid of results. The family of the
Kenosha victim has received several let
tiers from the Cleveland syndicate own
ing the Goodyear but the officials of
the company have not given any hope
of the body of young Streek ever being
recovered.
At the time of the sinking of the
Goodyear it was supposed that liver
Carter another Kenosha boy had lost
his life but Carter was later found to
be living in Detroit and it was dis
covered that he had left the steamer
before the accident.

FORGER WAS BOLD
SWindler Passes Three Checks
to Which Name of George
W. Taylor Was Forged
GETS BIG START ON POLICE

One Of the boldest cases of forgery
ever known in Kenosha was brought to
light this morning when the police were
asked to make an effort to docate a
man who gave his name as James b.
Prescott who is wanted on charge Of
forging the name of George W. Taylor
the well known young attorney to three
checks. The checks were 3ashed on
July 9Th and the man got away with
the money and with seven weeks start
it is probable that he has found pas
ture to work in so far from Kenosha that
he will never be located. Attorney
Taylor has no idea who the man was,
where he came from or how he worked
his game and he discovered the forger-
les when his bank book was balanced
by the Merchants and Savings bank and
returned to him this morning. The book
had been balanced on July 8th just a
few hours before the forged checks
were cashed and the three bad checks
were a bungling forgery Of the Attor-
ney's signature. The man had evident
ly secured a. sheet of blank checks
printed for some merchant and he had
torn the name from the margin of the
check and the name Of the attorney had
been put In with q rubber stamp. All
of the checks were, numbered rs in the
same way and the amount $1,000 had
been put in with the rubber stamp
method. One of the checks was cashed
at the bar room of VIII and LaConte on
Market Square, second at the bar
room of E. H. Frandsen and the third
had been exchanged for cash over the,
counter at the Merchants and Savings
bank. Evidently the checks excited no
suspicion and it was not until they were
returned to Mr.. Taylor that they were
discovered. All of the men who cashed
the checks remember that Prescott was
a smooth talker and they insist that he
seemed to be well acquainted with Mr..
Taylor. In every ease he endorsed the
checks Just before presenting them for
payment and he accompanied them with
line of good talk which quite dis
armed the men who cashed the checks.
An examination of the checks and
comparison with the signature of Mr..
Taylor shows how bungling the work
was and it is a surprise that the checks
were ever cashed.
The police have absolutely no clue
to the identity of Prescott. He has
not been seen in Kehosha since the
afternoon when the checks were cashed
and it is pretty certain that it will be
some time before he returns to Kenosha
to try the same game again.

NEW MAP OF STATE.
University of Wisconsin Gets Out Map
of Interest to Druggists of State.


A large map of the state Of Wis
consin showing the places where medi-
cinal plants are grown for drugs, based
upon such authentic information as
could be secured by the department
of pharmaceutical chemistry at the
University of Wisconsin has been pre-
pared by Prof. Edward Krcmers, direc-
tor of the university school of phar-
macy, and was exhibited at the recent
convention of the Wisconsin Pharma-
ceutical association at EIzhart Lake.
DR.. Kremers has prepared a state
ment Of the progress of the cooperative
experiments in the growing Of medi-
cinal plants, carried on in conjunction
with the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture on an acre on the university cam
pus.
In order to demonstrate the progress
of the work, an exhibit has been pre-
pared of crude drugs as found on the
market, accompanied by a, herbarium Of
specimens showing how the plants from
which the drugs are derived look when
they come from the field. The exhibit
includes anise, coriander, conium, hore-
hound spearmint, insect powder, Amer
lean saffron and sage, together with
marshmallow, yarrow, opium, poppy and
thyme.
Samples of the true oil Of winter
green, distilled from wintergreen leaves
gathered near Black River Falls, to-
gether with fluid extracts of hore hound
and Of the tinture of stramonium are
also shown and a Madison candy manu-
facturer displays some horehound sticks
and lozenges favored with herb decoc-
ton and with the fluid extract, made
from plant grown at the university.
