COUNTY MUST ACT.

County Clerk r. Ell. Jones received a
communication this morning from the
state highway commission that throws
an entirely different light Oh the stu
alton in Kenosha county. The amount
of money available from the state to
improve the roads in the county is
$3.50, but in order to get the cash,
the county board will have to do one
of two things. The board will have
to elect a county highway commission
er for term of not less than three
years at salary of not less than 5000
per year and expenses or request the
state highway commission to furnish
a man to take charge of the state aid
work in the county. In the second case
the salary and expenses of the man or
men employed must be repaid by the
county, but these will cover only the
actual time necessary to properly at
tend to the work.
Since the total amount to be expend-
ed in this county is comparatively
small, it will probably be more econo-
mical to adopt the second course. IF
it is decided to do this, it is the de-
sire Of the commission that the county
board suggest several men whom it
thinks competent to supervise or con-
struct the road or bridge work con.
templated and wishes it also to name
what salary it would recommend for
them.
The commission wishes to use local
men insofar as is possible. The quail
fications for such work are business
judgment and knowledge of handling
men and tools. IF he has also knowl-
edge Of engineering aud can use a
transit and level SO much the better,
but these qualifications are not as i'm
portant as those first mentioned.

THE HEART BREAKERS.

The Heart Breakers the much
discussed musical comedy that Mort FL.
Singer will present at the Rhode Opera
House, Kenosha, Sunday afternoon
and night, Nov. 10th, will serve to in
troduce new recruit in the ranks of
stardom, namely George Damerel, late
of the Merry Widow" Mr.. Damerel
is we'll known to the amusement loving
public of the country, but this will be
the first time that he will be seen in
a comedy role that fits him like a glove
Among those who have helped to make
this latest of musical comedies one of
the big hits of the season are Miss
Ruth PEBBLES, last seen here as the
prima donna of "The Prince of To
night" company. Adams and Hough,
the well known authors have woven a
delightful love story around group
of wealthy boys who having banded
themselves together for their mutual
protection against the wiles Of all girls
who are firts, find themselves in a
quandry, as their leader known as a
confirmed woman hater has finally lost
his heart to the one girl whom they
have all been stung by. Complications
follow each other in rapid succession
but like all musical comedies everything
ends happily. The company is large
one and perfect Princess chorus is
carried.

VETERINARIANS ARE HELPLESS
Disease Comes on Hogs With Great
Suddenness and Hundreds of Them
are Stricken Just as They are Ready
for the Markets.

Farmers in the northern and western
parts of Kenosha county have suffered
heavy losses during the week just past
on account of the ravages of hoe ehol-
era and the disease seems to be spread
ing with unusual rapidity until it is
now feared that the epidemic will be-
come general among hogs in the
county. The state veterinarians and
veterinary surgeons in various parts
of this and surrounding counties 2have
been called upon to stop the spread of
the disease, but apparently with little
success. On some of the farms hogs
have been inoculated and sent from
their pens into the woods with view
of saving them from the plague. 1t
is claimed that already more than a
hundred hogs have died in this county
while the number of deaths in Racine
county has been largely in excess of
this number. 1t seems that the disease
was brought into this county from Ra-
cine county. The attack of the cholera
came with such suddenness that the
farmers were taken off their guard
and before they knew of the existence
of the disease whole droves had been
affected.
The fact that the disease spread
among hogs just at the time they were
being prepared for market makes the
scourge particularly bad one.
The attack came so suddenly that
the farmers wee unable to account for
the hogs dropping off by the score and
others being stricken. They summon
ed veterinary surgeons who attempt
ed to save the stricken animals
and stop the spread Of the dis
ease. The state veterinarian and
his assistants were called in and
they worked with the local vet
erinarians, but without success.
Fancy breed of hogs each weighing
200 to $50 pounds died in their tracks
and the owners saw small fortunes
disappearing. The average price of
hogs in the market today is $685. per
100 pounds and with the death of each
hog the farmer or owner lost about $15.
At the Racine county insane asylum
Supt. Henry Lewis had 100 of the
choicest hogs, the majority of which
he intended sending to market. Near
ly all of these were stricken and died.

Catches Runaway Engine
ENGINE ESCAPES At CORLIss

There was whole lot of excitement
Int Corliss few nights ago caused by
d runaway locomotive. The affair
took place after dark and has been
kept quiet. It is understood that the
engineer, who allowed his engine to
get away from him, got thirty days
and the fireman was /" fred bodily.
The engine was big freigLt,r and
was on the main line between Chi
eago and Milwaukee. 1t had been in
the roundhouse getting fixed up and
was south bound following in the rear
of the Minneapolis Chicago flyer. The
engineer was running without a pilot,
When he reached Corliss, he stopped
the engine and jumped down out of
his cab and went into the station to
get orders. Ills fireman was hungry
and not paying any attention to the
engineer got down out of the cab and
went into nearby eating house.
When the engineer came out, the en-
CINE was gone, He called to his fire.
man and asked what had become of it.,
to which he received the response: ct
don t know.
There was a lot of commotion around
the station for while. The operator
got busy and telegraphed to Somers, a
station three miles down the road, tell
ing the agent to either stop or ditch
the engine. He wired back for in
structions how to stop it and was told
to operate certain levers. His final
answer was off she is not going too
fast, I'll get on her, He succeeded,
and the engine was run onto side
track
Another road engine was uncoupled
from its train and started out for the
runaway. 1t brought the engine back
a half hour later, The throttle on the
runaway opened up itself in some I'M
accountable way, giving it just enough
steam to start it going. The engine
was only short ways back Of the
passenger but was not going fast
enough to overtake it.
