Well Known Young Business
Man Died Thursday Night
After Short Illness
WELL KNOWN IN BUSINESS

John Kasper, aged 80 years, one of
the best known of the younger bust
ness men of the city died at nine
o 'clock Thursday evening at the Ke
nosha hospital after a short illness
from appendicitis. Mr.. Kasper was
taken i'll on last Friday morning and
was operated on at the hospital on
Saturday night. Since that time his
condition had been critical, but this
fact was known only to his close
friends and relatives and the announce
ment of his death this morning came
as great shock among business as
sociates.
The deceased was native of Aus
tria where he was born May 5, 1872.
His parents died when he was an in
FAINT and when he was nine years of
age he came to this country and set
tied in Chicago where reaching young
manhood he went into the clothing
business. He remained in business in
Chicago until five years ago when he
came to Kenosha and went into bust
ness at the corner of West Main and
Market streets. Since that time Mr..
Kasper had been very active in ad-
vancing every interest in the business
world of the city. He was an active
member of the Kenosha Industrial as
ISOLATION and had taken an active
part in all movements for boosting the
city and its business prospects. He
was a leader among the people, of his
own nationality and had won their
confidence by the honorable manner
in which he had looked after their
interests.
Mr.. Kasper was a member of Pike
Woods Camp of the Modern Woodmen
of America and of the Kenosha Aerie
of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and
Of many other organizations among his
own people. He is survived by his
widow and two daughters, Elsie and
Edith.

ing branch plants, but it is certain
that nothing will be done along these
lines during the present year. With
the coming OF proper selling conditions
the company has considered the sug-
gestions of the commercial associations
that plants be opened for the assem-
blage of parts manufactured in Keno
sha, but even this movement is one
far in the future.
That Ottawa is ready and willing to
welcome the coming of an agency of
the Jefery company is shown by the
cordial manner in which Mr.. Berry
and Mr.. Jordan were received. Other
cities in the dominion have been just
as cordial in the reception of the ad-
vance agents of the great Kenosha in
dustry.
In the Ottawa article on the visit
of Mr.. Berry he is quoted as saying:
"We intend establishing two selling
branches in, Canada at once and if
our trade develops on this side of the
border as a consequence the question
of building a large branch factory at
some Canadian city will be taken up
in the future. The reciprocity ques-
ton has made us alive to the posi-
bilities of this country and we have
definitely decided to enter the field
here having in mind that there is a
splendid opportunity here for one or
even two great automobile selling
agencies. We do not intend to pro-
coed with any undue haste and we
shall establish two selling branches.
One will be established at Winnipeg
and another at either Toronto, Ottawa
or Montreal. From what have seen of
Ottawa ] am more favorably impressed
with it than either of the other two
cities. However, we will make a
definite decision within the net two
weeks. -
The Jeffery company will be the
first of the big Kenosha companies to
take advantage of the opening of
trade with Canada and it will be ready
to get into the new territory just as
soon as the reciprocity agreement is
promulgated.

Praise for Thomas.

The people of Zion and of the entire
financial world as well, are loud in
their praise of the manner in which
the receivership of Zion City was
handled by Receiver Thomas. He took
hold of the work when the city was
in the throes of fractional strife and
appeared at any moment on the verge
of being destroyed and wiped off the
face of the map.
By close application to the work in
hand, Receiver Thomas pulled the city
out Of the slough into which it had
fallen and restored order out of chaos,
until now the city, when it leaves his
hands is upon firm foundation.
Has Dealt Justly.
In every respect Receiver Thomas
has dealt justly and equitably with
Zion investors and conflicting inter
ests. When the Dowie bubble burst
and the estate was plunged into re-
ceivership fractional discord, disorgani-
zation and general confusion followed,
and these conditions endured for many
months, until Receiver Thomas, by a
conciliatory and tactful policy, finally
managed so we'll that he released the
estate of debt, met all expenses and
finally sold it to Cobe & McKinnon
and Voliva at surprisingly large
figures.
His generalship and the thorough
ness of his guards for the investors,
who had followed the Dowie lure and
invested their all in Zion City lands,
stocks and whatnot, have won him ma
tional and even international attention
as a fnancier of ability and note, and
have paved the way for wide future,
for succession of great financial feats
under other and more favorable aus
pieces.
Now that his tolls are ended the
receiver is happy man. He has a
genuine position of affection and re
spect in Zion City and Lake county
hearts and will always be recalled
there with feelings of appreciation and
pleasure. He's one man who is hon
est, straightforward and conscientious
all the way through.

sissippi River district. $50 900.

slsS1pp1 River district, 2,UUD.
Six species, namely, lake trout, her
ring, buffalo fish, yhitefsh, yellow
perch, and German carp contributed
81 per cent of the total product for
the state, while their value formed 81
per cent of the total value. The Lake
Superior district supplied only 5 per
cent of the total value of the fishery
product Of the state. Lake herring
and lake trout contributed respective
ly 50 per cent and 40 per cent of the
value of the total catch from Lake
Superior.
Of the $1067 900 worth of products
in 1908, $425,000 came from the yes
sci fisheries and $642,000 from the
shore and boat fisheries. Lake trout
were valued at $4,000; lake herring,
$4,000; buffalo fish, 100000; white
fish, $4,000; yellow perch, $4,000;
German carp $4,000, and call other'
$l37 900.
Value Greater Though Quantity Less.
Lake. trout contributed 80 per cent
of the total value of the fishery pro-
ducts of the state in 1908, and SO
per cent of the quantity was taken
in Lake Michigan. The value,
$4,000 was the largest on record, but
SOL 900 more pounds of this fish were
reported in 1903, though the value of
the catch that year was only $4,000.
The value of the lake herring product
in 1908 was nearly 40 per cent greater
than that Of the largest catch previ-
ously reported which was that Of 1899,
though the weight of the latter was
greater by $4,000 pounds. The buff
falo fish product, all of which was
from the Mississippi River district,
ranked third in value among the fish
cry products of the state; it being
100000 as compared with $500 in
1899, and $4,700 in $780,
Whiteish and Perch Less in Quantity.
The value Of the whitefsh yield was
much less in 1908, being $4,000, than
in 1890, when it amounted to $4,000,
but it was considerably more in 1908
than in the intervening years. Vel
low perch, caught in Lake Michigan,
was valued at 1884, 900, but the guam
tity taken was less then in 1903 when
the value was $4,000. Of German
carp, amounting to $4,000 in 1908,
as compared with $4,000 in 1899, the
Mississippi River district furnished So
per cent of the total and Lake Mich
gan the remainder. The carp and
buffalo fish have greatly increased,
which accounts for the gain in the
Mississippi River product since 1890,
while they counter balance the de-
crease in the catch of certain other
species, notably wall-eyed pike and
sturgeon.
Gill nets were used in 1908 to catch
$533,000 worth of fish; pound and trap
nets, $2O8,oOO; seines, $4,000; lines,
$4,000; fyke and hoop nets, $4,000;
and trammel nets, $500; while craw-
fish pots, crowfoOt dredges, traps,
spears and hooks, dip nets, ETC., caught
altogether $4,000 worth,

PROPER TREATMENT FOR
CA IA RRH

The first thing to be done in the
treatment of Cafarrh is to begin the
use of a medicine that wiu haze a
direct effect on the source of the
disease; in no other way can any
curative progress be made. S.S.S.
does this more quickly and Salts
factonly than any other medicine.
1t is the most penetrating of all
blood purifiers, thoroughly, yet
gently, expelling all catarrhal mat
ter and impurities from the circula-
dion, and by its fine tonic properties
strengthening and building up the
system in such healthy manner that
It is enabled to overcome the de-
pressing effects of Cafarrh. Some
local treatment is often desired to
open the air passages of the head
and nose and relieve the congestion
and {" tickling " of the throat, and
other unpleasant symptoms. There
are many helpful measures which
may be resorted to, and there are
others Which may be harmful, and
to aid Catarrh sufferers we have pre-
pared special treatise on the disease
which will be of great value to any
who suffer with this trouble. This
book together with any medical ad-
vice free to all who write and request
it Take S. S. S. regularly and &C
cording to directions, and it will GER
tainly remove the cause and cure your
