MENINGITIS CLAIMS CHILDREN

The regular quarterly report of the
State Board of Health which was made
public this morning contains some in
teresring STATISTICS from Kenosha coun-
ty. The reports cover the months of
July, August and September and while
it was supposed that Kenosha was pref
sty well honeycombed with contagious
and infectious diseases during those
months the report shows that there
were few Of these cases reported to the
state board. The report shows that
during the quarter there were l case
Of diphtheria, l of small pox, + of
scarlet fever and two of measles. Tt
will probably be news to many people
in the city that there was a lcase of
small pox in the city but such was the
fact and it was kept so closely under
cover by the police and the health de-
partment that few people knew of the
existence of the disease in the city.
Scores of eases of measles and whoop-
ing cough were reported in the city
during these months but not one case
of whooping cough got report with
the state department.
In Kenosha county during the three
months total of 101 deaths were re.
ported. Thirty-nine of the number
were people under the age of one wear.
IA were from one to four years old.
Is were of sixty-fve years of age or
over. The principal causes of death
are given as follows: Pulmonary tuber-
cu4osls, 3; one each from typhoid few
er and diphtheria; two died from
whooping cough and six from Dneu-
monia; five died from MENINGITIS tbe
number of deaths from this disease be-
ing greater than in previous reports
from the county for the same length
of time Twenty were shown to have
died from stomach and bowel com
plants. Seven deaths from cancer oc-
CURED during the quarter. The num-
Der of deaths from violence was unus.
ually large the reports showing that
there were eight cases for the coroner
during the three months.
The report shows that during the
quarter the epidemic of measles and
whooping cough was prevalent in many
parts of the state and many deaths
occurred from these diseases.

CHICAGO MEN ARE INTERESTED
Plan for Reorganization to be Worked
Out by Illinois Lawy Exposition Of
Otto r. Hansen Who Bought Real
Estate not Given Out


While there are few if any develop
ments in the scheme to reorganize the
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric Rail
road company and take it out of the
hands of the receivers, the uncovering
of the names of the men behind the
reorganization scheme augurs well for
the Illinois end Of the road, as they
are principally Chicagoans, while the
legal firms working on the scheme are
all located in that city.
AS nearly as can be learned, the
bondholders committee, which is work.
ing on the reorganization, is composed
of C. B. Shedd and J. V. Clark of Chi
cage They represent all interests, in
GLIDING the Frost interests in the road.
They are represented by Attorney JAG
oh Newman of Chicago.
AS nearly as can be learned, Attor-
noy Otto r. Hansen Of Milwaukee to
whom was decided successfully the
IibertyviIle mile track and various
parcels of land along the north shore
in this state acquired by Frost in get
ting the right of way of the road. does
not represent the Wisconsin bondhold-
ers as rumored, and is not vitality in
terestsd in the reorganization Of the
road.
Other men of the legal fraternity
interested i'll the proposed reorganiza-
tion are Attorneys Carter and Quincy
of Chicago and Messrs. Tenney, Cof-
feen, Hubbard and Sherman, the at
torneys for the receivers. The latter
firm represents only the receivers and
is not mixing into any factional trou-
bles whatever.
At matter of fact, there is little
information to be gained regarding
the reorganization except that it is
yet far off and possibly may not take
place before June /. There is also
the fact that A. c. Frost, former own
err, president and active manager, will
not be active in the affairs Of the road
Not much attention is being paid to
the road these days, due to the sue
cess the receivers are meeting in its
operation.

AssYRIAN GOLD.
Inspired by the Decorative Arts of
Ancient Assyria.

The Assyrian Empire was geograph-
ically located in the vast district be-
tween the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Under the special influence of these
mighty streams and during the reign
of King sur-banipal (66S-628 B. CO,
this powerful nation reached its great
est development.
Alphabetically its magnificent pal
aces rivaled the great temples of
Egypt. The Bible itself mentions the
grandeur of their colossal buildings.
King Solomon s Temple, in all its
glory, was but a reproduction of As
syrian art. The richness and brill
fancy of their decorative art surpassed
that of any nation Of that Ancient
period.
The ruling idea in Assyria ornament
was elaborate symbolism combined
with brilliant coloring. Metal crafts
manship in Assyria was far advanced
in both gold and silver work. In gem
cutting and engraving they greatly sx-
celled the Egyptians. Minute carvings
in silver matrix, lapis lazuli, jasper
and agate were utilized extensively
for purposes Of enrichment.
Assyrian gold Incorporates these car
dinal features in its form, decoration
and finish. Each decorative motif pos
sesses some characteristic Assyrian
symbol. The most potent of these are:
Sacred Winged Bull (Cherubim) a
mythical combination of man, bull and
eagle, typical Of the union of the great
est intellectual and physical powers.
These images guarded the portals of
the kings palaces.
The Scarab. This sacred Beetle was
much used in Assyrian ornament as
with the Egyptians. It had the great
est significance as the Symbol of Res
direction Of the Soul, also Immortal
ity, It was the emblem of Shamas,
the Sun God.
The Serpent surrounding the Winged
Sun was the emblem Of HHoa,'' the
Lord of the Abyss and Regulator of
the Universe. This decorative sym
Dol was much used in Assyrian art.
A Bas-relief of an Assyrian Royal
Lion hunt (after a low sculpture)
depicting the grandest event of the
chase. Such scenes were used extens-
lively in the decoration Of the King IS
palaces and temples.
The Lotus and conventionalized
feather were both distinctive features
of Assyrian ornamental art.
Shamas, the Sun God of the Assyr-
ians. A much worsbiped deity Of AS
syrian mythology often depicted in the
decorative art of the empire.

ROAST FOR KENOSHA
Actor Declares That People
Go to the Theatre Hand
Cuffed and Shackled
SHOWS LACK OF APPRECIATION

"We don't mind a small house. we
get used to that but I am curious to
know why the people of Kenosha come
to the theatre handcuffed. Years ago
1 worked for the Chicago Inter Ocean
and they used to have caption
"K-O-O-II K-E-N-O-S-H-A," and I am
willing to wager a FIVE spot that the
fellow WHO wrote that head played a
one night stand in Kenosha. Just how
much below zero does the thermometer
register down in the body of the the
atre."
This was the roast that was handed
to Kenosha by one of the band of
players who took part in the produc-
ton of "Seven Days" at the Rhode
Opera House on Friday night and the
members of the small company which
saw the play will feel that the actor
was forcing them to look into mirror.
"Seven Days" was the most delic.
ious and daintiest little piece of farce
comedy seen in Kenosha in many a.
dramatic season but when the curtain
dropped on the first, second and third
acts 1t fell with dull sickening thud
and the players sneaked off to their
dressing rooms without even hand
pat as an accompaniment. 1t was a
Wagenhals and Kemper production and
this fact vouched for it's merit. The
same company of players had delighted
thousands of people in Metropolitan
theatres and had often responded to
as many as dozen curtain calls after
single act and naturally they ling
cred and waited for a call but the
theatre was as silent as if some one
had suddenly died and the people were
waiting for the undertaken to arrive.
The players were not peeved by the
action of the Kenosha audience and it
simply offered them little psycholog-
ical study. There isn't the slightest
doubt but that "Seven Days" tickIed
the funny bone of every person who
saw it last night but there seems to
be no connection between the funny
bone and the muscles of the hands of a
Kenosha audience. 1t would be unfair
to say that the play did not please
The audience for many of the people
are still smiling over the play but the
splendid company of artists which in
terpreted the play slipped out of Ken
osha this morning with an idea that
Kenosha has no eye or ear for the best
in farce comedy.
Should "Seven Days'' by anv
strange twist of fate happen to come
back to Kenosha there is little doubt
but that the fun makers in the com
pany would get a chance to COMPEL
laughter for a larger audience and II
is just possible that dynamite enough
might be found in the city to lift the
curtain for at least one appreciative
curtain call. Such bang up good
show, with such a rafting good com
pany and such complete scenic in.
vestment, however deserves better
treatment.

There have been fewer fires than us.
ual so far this fall and winter in pri-
vate houses as a result of the starting
up of the heating stoves and furnaces
and Il would appear that the warnings
sent out by the state fire marshal in
regard to the proper care of fues and
chimneys with the approach of colder
weather did some good and saved many
small losses. The state fire marshal's of
fee can feel that something has been
accomplished by the constant hammer
ing away ON the necessity of taking
every precaution in guarding against
fire losses if the records show that the
number CT small fires in a year has
been cut down.

statement of last year regarding it,
which was as follows::
II am in full sympathy with the
anti-tuberculosis campaign and see no
objection at all in having the children
of our Catholic parochial schools lend
their help in this useful work. In fact,
[ shall be glad to know that they will
take part in selling Christmas seals,
by which some revenue is to be col
lected for the promotion of the cam
paign.''

disappointment when they do come
out, but that they are being held back
because the increase is so large that
the census officials want to check them

ANOTHER WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

Electricity, telephones, airships
and all the wonderful inventions
of this scientific age seemed i'm
possible a few years ago.. But it
seems there is nothing so i'm
possible but what some scientist
will discover the means of accom-
plishment. Prof. Emerson has now
discovered a preparation which
will really grow hair. Iowa peo-
pie r amazed and astounded oy
Emerson's new discovery for the
hair. Emerson said that one bot
tie of his new discovery would
grow a full head of hair and re-
store gray Or faded hair to it's
natural color. The people did
not believe him. 1t was too much
to expect and too good to be true.
They had tried all the highly ad-
vertised hair restorers and had
always been disappointed and they
could not believe one bottle would
really grow a full head of hair.
But now comes the most startling
part of all-for Emerson proved
it = yes, absolutely proved it.
What do you think he did? He
made the bold and remarkable
statement that he would give five
dollars to any person who used
one bottle of his new discovery
and failed to secure a new and
satisfactory growth of hair. The
people astounded by the I'M
heard of offer, but they knew that
he Was financially responsible and
would do as he agreed if it cost
him his fortune. Thousands
bought bottles OF his new dis

little faith and expected to be paid
five dollars for using the bottle
of new discovery. But of the first
Thousand bottles sold only eve
claimed they were not entirely
satisfied, and they Immediately
received the five dollars without
question. The rest of them were
overjoyed to find that Emerson's
New Discovery had really pro-
NOTED a new and healthy growth
OF hair. What is this remarkable
new discovery! Emerson won't
analyze it and have failed to find
out what it is. Emerson asks us
to publish this same offer to the
readers of this paper. He states
that with every bottle OF his new
discovery, the price Of which is
81, me will send a written agree
ment to. pay you five dollars if
you are not entirely satisfied with
the result which is invariably a
new head of healthy, vigorous
hair. The new discovery is not
sticky, oily or greasy and is very
pleasant to use. This ssthe most
remarkable offer ever made by a
responsible firm, such as The Emer-
son Chemical Co. which is backing
Emerson in his offer. Just send

The battle for the capture of the

Reuben F. Roy of New London

fore the people and ;ell them
why, in his opinion, they should

Mr.. Roy is going to point out
the great misfortune that would
result, as he sees it, if the Demo
Gratis win the next House and
elect Mr.. Clark their Speaker. He
expects to show that in such
event, President Taft would, from
December, 1911, until the end Of
his term, have to send messages
to a hostile Congress which would
ignore his advice on partisan
measures and enact partisan meas
ures of their own for the Presi-
dent to veto. He will also show
that at the end of such a mixed
congress and a president out of
sympathy, the whole country
would be unsettled and present
prosperity would be a thing of
the past and business interests
would be jeopardized. The House
would blame the president and
the president would blame the
House for the stagnation and the
people would have to puzzle out

they went to the polls in 1912 to
