Wisconsin's Monument to
Soldiers of Civil War Will
Be Unveiled May p
ERECTED NEAR vICKsBURG

Wisconsin s 100000 monument in
the Eicksburg National Military park
will be dedicated on Monday, May p.
On the same day thirteen regimental
and battery monuments and seven mar
kers for Wisconsin troops will be ded-
icated.
Commissioners Weissert and Burn
ham spent last Monday in the park
making final arrangements. May p is
chosen because on that day, in 1868,
Gen. Grant ordered charge along the
entire line. There was particularly
heavy fighting on those portions of the
line where there were Wisconsin troops
and they acquitted themselves in a
manner so heroic as to receive high
commentator.
The big monument is pronounced one
of the finest and most attractive in the
park Capt. w. I. Rigby, president of
the National Vicksburg Military park,
is loud in his praise of Wisconsin s
generosity in voting such monument.
He does not hesitate to say that the
large delegation of Wisconsin newspa-
per men who visited the park In De-
cember, 1906, and the articles they
wrote about it and their earnest adj
vocacy of the 100000 monument, had
much to do with number Of other
states in reaching decisions to erect
state memorials.
Gov. McGovern and all state officers
will be invited The governor viii
make one or more of the dedicatory
addresses. DR.. J. L. Jones, Chicago,
who belonged to a Wisconsin battery
that had a part at Vicksburg will de-
liver an address. All seventeen of the
Wisconsin organizations which were at
Vicksburg during the campaign and
siege viii have representatives, and,
some of them will send large delega-
tions. The people of the city are also
interested in the coming dedications
and have pledged that there will be no
advancement of hotel or other rates.
Commissioner Weissert has extended
cordial invitation to the confederates
of the eleven states, their sons, wives
and daughters, all of whose societies
meet at Little Rock at the same time,
to be present.

heartily approve of the SUGGESTIONS for

HAGUE GETS QUICK FINISH
Bouts on Card of the Kenosha Athletic
Club Prove to be Best Seen in Ken
osha Outside CT the Main Bout of
the Card

Freddie Andrews and jeff O'Connell
the former of Milwaukee and the latter
of Chicago gave a very lady Like ex-
hibition of the manly art of self de-
Tense in the wind up of the show Civ
en- by the Kenosha Athletic club at the
Goldberg auditorium on Thursday ev-
ening. The go had been carded as a
ten round fight but it was one of those
ultra society functions more fitted for
a tea party than for the band Of red
blood sports who surrounded the arena.
Both men were strong at the end of
the tenth round-very strong and it
would have been difficult matter for
any one to have given decision in
the fight. The go between the two top
notchers would have made a fair six
round preliminary but after the bouts
in the earlier part of the evening the
go was regarded as decidedly tame
Notwithstanding the fact that the
wind up was decided disappointment
the show was a rafting good one and
the three bouts which preceded the
wind up were just as good a display OF
the fistic art as has been seen in this
section Of Wisconsin in many day.
In the opening bout Of the evening
Johnnie White of Chicago and Jimmie
Troy of Milwaukee mixed up for six
rounds in about as fast a battle as
was ever seen in Kenosha. The two
boys stood up and mixed things from
the sound Of the gong until the end of
the six rounds. For three rounds they
put up a fight that kept the crowd on
it's feet and after that they slowed up
little for the sole reason that it
would have been physical impossible
ity for a real champion in any class to
have continued at the rate that the
boys started in the first three rounds.
The go was bang up draw and both
were strong. at the conclusion.
The second bout was between Johnny
Reagon of Milwaukee and Kid Lake Of
Chicago and Reagon won by clean
knockout in the second round. Lake
was the heavier Of the fighters but Re
agon put it all over him and in the first
round he had the Chicago man hanging
on the ropes. In the second round he
shot a clean right to the point Of the
chin and put Lake down and out.
The third bout brought Freddy
Hague who had made a good showing
here a couple of weeks ago against
Lee Barrett of Milwaukee. Both were
under the weight 145 pounds and from
the first Barrett had the best of the
fight. He slashed Hague around the
ring for the better part of three rounds
when Hague went down as a result of
a stiff left punch and laid there until
the referee called him out. Hague was
getting up at the end Of the count and
it looked as if he was not overly anx-
ious to get any more of the stiff punch
ing offered by Barrett.
It was great night for the Milwau-
kee fight fans who were about the ring
and they cleaned up literally from the
equally large number of Chicago sports
who came up from Chicago.

installed there will be no excuse for
street car travellers who bring home at

When one of these forgetful persons

The crusade against that summer
time pest, the common house fly, has
been waged with vigor in many com
munities but in all Of the tons OF warn
ines written on the subject there has
been none that goes straighter to the
root Of the matter than the ely Cat
echism" distributed to the children OF
the North Carolina schools, with the ac-
companying comments of the Tribune
It is pointed out that the language is
plain, even sickeningly so, but there
can be no dispute as to the facts as
stated. The article follows,
1t is not easy to keep deIcacy in a
discussion of the fly. The health au-
thorities who attack it do not waste
much time in effort to do so. The ma
ture and habits of the pest make it
next to impossible to say what it is and
does without the Use of plain English.
The authorities are giving the plain
English not only to householders but
to school children. The following is
taken from ''Fly Catechism" distri-
buted to the children in North Caro-
line schools:
Where is the fly born? In filth.
Who're does the fly live? In filth.
Where does he go? Into the Kitchen
and dining room. He walks on the
bread, fruit, and vegetables; he wipes
his feet on the butter and battles in the
buttermilk.
Does the fly visit the patient sick
with consumption, typhoid fever, and
cholera infantum? He does-and may
call on you next.
What diseases does the fly carry?
He carries typhoid fever, tuberculosis
and summer complaint. Howe On his
wings and hairy feet. What is his cor
rect name? Typhoid fly.
The catechism' is written for chill
dren, but the adult mind need not be
offended by its simplicity.

The prayer of the railroads to in
crease freight rates has been denied
absolutely by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, but the substantial advan-
tage of this long investigation remains,
we believe, with the roads.
1t is difficult to understand how Wall
Street could have made up its astute
mind that the commission. was going
to authorize an increase in rates when,
during the period covered by the inves-
tigation, net earnings of railroads, af-
ter all expenses had been paid, were
greater than ever before. In view of
that simple and conclusive fact, a
Wholesale increase in rates at this
time would undoubtedly have provoked
great dissatisfaction; and great public
dissatisfaction is a highly Improbable
thing for railroads.
On the other hand, the arguments
and evidences offered by the roads will,
we feel sure, give the general public
juster idea than ever before Of the
tremendous Importance of the trans.
portation industry and Of the condi-
tons under which it is carried on,
That the railroads cannot be crippled
without great harm to the country will
be understood better than ever before
and mere haphazard legislative expert.
ments with railroad rates will be dis
couraged,
Between 1890 and 1900 the average
freight rate declined from nine and a
quarter to seven and a quarter mills
per ton per mile. Since 1901 it has re-
manned nearly stationary at seven and
a half mills; but in this period the
gross reyenue per train mile has large
ly increased, and in 19O7-the ante
panic year-the net revenue per trair
mile, after deducting expenses, was
seventy cents against sixty cents il
1901, although cost of labor and ma
terials had increased and the average
freight rate had remained practically
statiQnary. Also the number of trail
miles had greatly increased. Undoubt
eddy stable rates at about the present
level are all that the railroads need il
order to be prosperous. If one resut
Of the big investigation is to forbid al
increase, another result will be to dis
courage agitation for decreases. Tn,
investigation tends to clear the air AM
give the railroad Industry a stable
