Very respectfully,

Claude D. Mason
State Chemist
| In brief explanations of these an
| alyses, | may say that the presence
of ammonia, nitrites and chlorine
bove a certain percentage in 1000,
900 parts, are the indicators of pol
hutton and impurity. Their presence
| i'm the above waters lis only about
| one-fif1th of what would be even q
cause for suspicion In other words
the Mountain Home water is as pure
as ground water could be, found. 1t.
temperature is about so degrees Fdh
remheit and / do not believe this VIII
vary much at any season. In the hot
test summer weather, when the stor
age tank will be refilled most often
the temperature of this water as
drawn from the faucet i'm the home
should not exceed 56 degrees.
Just al word as to the permanency
OF this supply In my opinion We
have tapped at this 25 foot 5pth,
the best and most permanent supply
of underground water i'm the Mount
ain Home district. The contour OF
the lands and the foothills and
molmtains to- the north and north
east all indicate that the under
ground supply, from which the many
excellent springs along the foothills
come, flows westward and southwest
right through the Village and it would
seem reasonable to expect that the
springs will suffer dlminution of
flow as soon as the supply we have
tapped at the 25 foot stratum. This
flow, as a whole will doubtless vary
from season to season, but i'm my
best Judgment it will never fall to a
point anywhere near the danger line
for years to come. 1t is, of course,
a matter i'm which neither an engi-
neer, nor a Board of Trustees nor
any Citizen can be positively sure
OF beyond a, doubt. But ,arsk is all
ways taken i'm every source of supply
and in my opinion we have taken
the smallest possible risk A gravity
supply from the foothills springs is
prohdbitive now on account of the
cost, it requiring at least $50, COO
more to utilize that source.

Many Residents of State Died
of Tuberculosis During
April, May and June
REPORT IS ISSUED

During the months of April, May
and June, 6,93S deaths were reported
to the state bureau of vital statistics,
according to figures in the quarterly
bulletin now being. published, This is
exclusive of 405 still births and COR
responds to an annual death rate Of
III per thousand estimated population.
The death rate for the second quar-
ter of 1911, when compared with that
for April, May and June, 1910, Of 11.6
per thousand estimated population, and
the rate of 1872 per thousand for 1909,
and the rate of ia per thousand for
1905, indicates relative healthfulness
of the state for this period of time
during the past three years.
During the months of April, May and
June, 1910, 1884 deaths, exclusive Of
still births, were reported. This shows
a decline of 46 in the number Of deaths
recorded. The decline in the number
of deaths IS due, in large measure, to
the absence of any serious epidemics
of typhoid, diphtheria or scarlet fever,
which are apt to be prevalent at this
season of the year.
Important causes of death with the
number of deaths from each disease
are as follows:
Pulmonary tuberculosis, 5S3; other
tuberculosis, SO; typhoid fever, 20;
diphtheria, IS; scarlet fever Sc; meas

SEVEN CO WS KILLED
Borden Special" Runs Into
Herd of Thos. Davis at
Bristol Monday
SCOOP CATTLE FROM RAILS

Six cows were instantly killed and
another so seriously mangled that it
had to be shot just after midnight this
morning when the Borden milk train
on the western division of the Chicago
and Northwestern road ran through a
herd Of cattle belonging to Thomas
Davis at the Davis farm mile east
of the village of Bristol. Monday morn
ing the tracks of the railway for more
than half mile were covered with
blood and flesh of the killed CATTLE
The train which struck the herd had
left Kenosha just before midnight and
was on what was known as the "back''
trip. It was running at high rate
of speed. The Davis herd had broken
through fence and had wandered out
On the track. They were scattered
all along the track and were picked
off one by one by the fast speeding
train. The train went through the herd
without serious results beyond the fact
that all the cars were smeared with
blood and the pilot of the engine was
broken in a couple of places. Fort
nately none of the bodies of the cows
were left on the track for the engine
went through like scoop shovel
throwing them high in the air and into
track. Had the cattle fallen on the
track the story might have been
different one.
Monday morning the passengers on the
early train from the west found the
remains of the cattle scattered for half
a mile from the scene of the accident.
The cattle were grade COWS and
were valued conservatively at $3.50.

The scientists of the experiment sta
ton Of the university have taken up
the study Of cabbage diseases which
have caused heavy losses to the grow
ers in this section of the state for years
and they are hopeful that remedies or
at least effective preventative means
of stopping THEN spread will be dis
covered before long If they can do
that with but single one of the
diseases which attack the cabbage
plants the benefits to the growers in
this and Racine counties in increased
production will be worth much more
than the amounts paid in from the two
counties for the support of the univer-
sity every year.

CROP OUTLOOK GOOD.
Report Of wisconsin Crops Shows Indi-
cation Of Bountiful Harvest.

ssThe crop reports for August l show
exceptional conditions in that one Sec
ton of the state reports excessive mois-.
ture and others report extreme drouth
says Secretary R. w Rowlands in his
monthly statement.
"Tbe northeastern part Of the state
has had so much rainfall that some
crops have suffered considerably. The
northern, western and north central
parts have had sufficient rainfall and
all crops are and have been good with
the exception possibly of clover.
.sThe southeastern and central parts
have and are suffering with severe
drouth. Grains were hurried to an I'M
mature ripening. Early corn headed
before attaining its usual height and
late corn must receive rain soon.
The condition of pastures is in
proportion to the rainfall received in
the respective localities.
seTobacco has enjoyed an exception
al season, but drouth is injuring some
Of it.

good"

ditions of crops:

In 1850 the population of this
country was twenty-three millions and
in the next ten years nearly million
German immigrants arrived. Relative
ly to population this was our biggest
consignment Of any single foreign
tongue. In the following thirty-years
we received nearly three million more
Germans; but in the last twenty years
German immigration has been compar-
atively small, and the German language
in the United States has suffered a
great relative decline. Carl Schurz
value to the Republican party as an ora
Eor was vastly enhanced by his ability
to address German audiences in their
native tongue. Long afterward it was
The practice in Wisconsin and else
where to send German speakers into
districts heavily settled by immigrants
from the fatherland; and in several
Eities having large German populations
newspapers printed in that language
were nearly as influential and prosper
Dus as their English contemporaries.
Relatively to population the German
newspaper has greatly declined and the
German political orator is rare. A re-
rent report says, as to Wisconsin, that
English is now understood practically
everywhere. It is taught in all public
schools, and in some of the parochial
schools--formerly stronghold of Ger
man--the teaching is entirely in Eng
lish.
The children, of course, not only
learn English but generally prefer the
English newspaper and the English
theater. The offspring of Teutonic par
ents whose German in range, construc-
tion and accent closely resembles that
of his New England-born ,neighbor is
by no means uncommon. Many Ger
mans and nonGermanic lovers of that
tongue grieve over this; but business
is business. That language that is most
widely useful will prevail,-Saturday

LOOKED LIKE ELoPEMENT.
New York Broker WEEDS Chicago College
Student in Kenosha ON Monday.

The marriage Of S. Douglas Ander-
son, a New York broker and Miss
Esther L. Bader, also of New York, was
quietly celebrated at the Office of
Judge Randall on Monday afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson left at once for
the east where they viii make their
home. The wedding looked lot like
an elopement for while the bride was
said to be a native of New York and
her parents reside there, she had been
attending school in Chicago. She de-
clared that she was nineteen years of
age and that her parents were aware of
the fact that the wedding was to take
place in Kenosha. The groom admitted
that the marriage was the elimination
of a romance that started some time
ago in New York and that he had fol-
lowed his bride to her school in Chicago
and had won her consent to marriage
at Kenosha.

The unfavorable conditions noted at
The time the state crop report was sent
out on August l no longer prevail, gen
eral rains having broken the drouth IN
the southern and central portions OF
the state, and the crop prospects have
improved greatly in the past few days
While some of the crops will fall short
in some sections of the state it IS be-
lieved that with favorable weather
from now on tho production for the
whole state will fall little below the
FIVE year average.

OLD kENOsHA CLAIM IS PAID
Company Sends Check for $500 to Pay
/ the Claim of Mrs. Mary McCarron
Against the Company After Many
Months Waiting.

The date upon which the Chicago and
Milwaukee electric railroad will pass
from the hands Of the receivers to a
new owner, will probably be set by
Judge Peter S. Grosscup of the federal
courts of Chicago, in about ten days.
This fact became known today when
it was stated that the attorney for the
Wisconsin bond holders of the road,
Attorney Jacob Newman Of Chicago,
was preparing decree which will be
signed by Judge Grosscup. At the time
the decree is signed, the date for the
sale of the road will be set by the
judge. The decree will be completed
in about ten days.
The Wisconsin bondholders won a
victory in the courts when the order
was entered finding that the Wisconsin
bonds of the Chicago and Milwaukee
electric railroad, the name of the road
after it crosses the Wisconsin line,
were good and would be accepted the
same as the bonds of the Chicago and
Milwaukee railroad, as it is called
in Illinois
The formal decree in this finding is
now being prepared by the attorneys
of the two factions of the road and
when that is completed, the decree
by Judge Grosseup and the date for
sale will be set.
In that case it is likely that several
cities along the line will know at
what time the matter of the bridges
and other Improvements will be taken
up with someone besides the receivers.
1t is said the receivers are unwilling
to take action on the matters, prefer
ring to leave them to the new owner
and not compel him to take over the
road, with his hands tied by con
tract for bridges and improvements.
The receivers of the company are
rapidly settling up all claims made
against the company during the receiv-
ership and this morning Attorney Call
vim Stewart of this city received a
check from the company for the sum
Of $500. This was the damages award
ed Mrs. Mary McCarron of this county
in suit brought against the company
in the United States court some time
ago. Mrs. McCarron alleged that she
was elected from one of the cars of the
defendant company and brought an
action to recover $4,000. After suit
covering several days the jury return
ed verdict for the plaintiff and fixed
her damages at $500.
The receivers refused to pay the
claim and threatened an appeal to the
United States court and Stewart final
ly appealed to the judges of the Unit
ed States court in Chicago to enforce
the collection Of the judgment. After
this had been done the receivers sent
a check for the amount of the judg-
ment but have not paid the costs of
the action.

SHOWS MERCY TO VETERAN.
George vroman Who Fought in the
Union Army Gets Clenemcy in Court.

Judge Randall showed his considera-
ton for the old soldiers who wore the
blue and on Monday afternoon when
George Vroman, veteran of the civil
war and man 81 years of age, appear
ed in the municipal court and pleaded
guilty to charges of adultery. The old
man had been in jail for four months
awaiting trial and he finally decided
to go into court and plead guilty. The
court gave him good lecture and i'm
posed fine of 5000 and the costs of
the action with an Alternative of thirty
days in Jail. Vroman had no money
to pay his fine and went hack to jail
for a month. He declared to the court
that as soon as he was released from
jail he would leave Kenosha and never
return. The old man has been in trou-
bic on other occasions. but the court
decided that in consideration of his
war record he was entitled to another
chance to keep out of the state prison.
A woman by the name Of Harrington
was named in the complaint with Vro-
man and she is stiI in the county jail.
1t is expected that her case will be dis
posed of at the next term of the NUM-
cipal court.

at the special meeting of the COM
mon council held ON last Wednesday
afternoon majority of the aldermen
expressed the opinion that in building
the trunk sewer the specifications
should be followed to the letter doing
away with any claims for extras which
will of course follow any alterations
ordered or permitted in the plans. IF
they adhere to this resolution and in
struct the city engineer to this effect
considerable money win be saved and
it should be possible to keep the cost of
the sewer close to the contract price.
Presumably the specifications are cor
rect and call for everything necessary
to provide a first class sewer, one that
will fulfill all of the requirements, and
II this is the case the city can lose
nothing by following them to the let
ter The engineers of the city worked
on these specifications long time and
they were passed as satisfactory in
every way by the high priced consult
ing engineers employed by the city.
Nothing that could safeguard the in
terests of the city in preparing the
plans and specifications for the sewer
Z. was neglected by the council and if it
got the kind of advice it paid for, and
there is no reason to believe it did not.
the specifications are all right and the
city cannot lose anything by following
them. No changes should be necessary
and the aldermen should stick to their
decision to permit no extras if thew
can possibly be avoided. In the
opinion of men who should know, the
city will do very well if it gets the
sewer called for in its specifications
built for the price called for in the
contract and that is what the aldermen
should strive to accomplish. The city
has had some huniliating experiences
in settling the bills for extras on pub
lie improvements in che past and an
effort should be made to avoid any diff
forances over the settlement for the
sewer. The best way to do 1aat is to
stick to the specifications.

BUCKMAsTER COTTAGE STRUCK
Home of Attorney at Twin Lakes
Riddled by lightning Bolt, Sheriff S
Barn is Hit by lightning and
Damaged.
From Monday s Daily


lightning played tag with Kenosha
and the surrounding territory for
second time within week early Sun
day morning and as result of the
severe electric storm the workmen of
the public service corporations are
busy today looking after trouble in all
parts of the city and county. Wires
were down and service badly inter
rupted on Sunday, but by noon today
things had been pretty well cleared
up. The electrical display was accom-
panied by terrific fall of rain and
the sewers of the city overburdened
by the rain fall of the previous days
were again pushed to the limit to car
ry off the surface water and troubles
piled up for the contractors for the
trunk sewer. The work on the sewer,
however, was going forward today and
the contractors declared that no seri-
Gus damage had been done to the work
by the water which poured into the
creek.
Most every one in Kenosha was
awakened by the thunder and lightning
of Sunday morning. Lights were burn
ed out by the discharges OF electricity
and it played about a half a dozen
houses in the city without causing any
serious damage. At the home of Frank
Mathews on Exchange street the mem.
bers of the family were thrown from
their beds by the force of the electri-
city, but no damages was done to the
house. The county Jail barn was a
victim of the lightning. One bolt
struck the barn and tore a great hole
in the roof of it but it did not catch
fire. Mrs. Stahl, the wife of the sheriff,
was standing at the window watching
the display of lightning when the
shingles of the barn roof were thrown
high in the air. She, however, did not
feel the effect of the lightning.
Telephone wires throughout the
county were down as result of the
storm and many wires were cut out by
being struck by lightning. Nearly fifty
lines in Kenosha were in trouble on
Sunday Much of this was caused by
one of the cables on English Court
being burned out by the electricity.
farmers throughout the county de-
clare that the rain did lot more good
than any damage done by the lightning
and there was such a heavy rainfall
that it is thought that the corn crop
of the county is assured. The rain al
so came as life saver for the late pota-
toes and it is now thought that there
will be plenty of potatoes in the county
this fall The rain. did little damage
to the growing crops and there was lit
tie wind to throw the grain down.
The most serious accident of the
storm occurred at Twin Lakes where
the summer home of Attorney A. E.
Buckmaster was struck by lightning
and damage to the extent of $3.50
resulted.
The members of the Buckmaster
family were in the cottage at the time
the house was struck. The lightning
struck the chimney and followed it in
to the house ripping things Up consid-
ably. The members of the family had
been awakened by the storm and all of.
them were more or less stunned by the
lightning but none was seriously hurt.
They returned to Kenosha this morn
ing still frightened from their encount-
er with the elements.
