There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton Of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years doc
tors pronounced 1t local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment

WINS IN LONG FIGHT
Judge Decides Against Pro
perty Owners on Eliza
beth Street
RAILWAY TRACKS TO STAY

Judge E. B. Belden on Wednesday
handed down decision putting an
end to the old fight between the prop
erty owners on Elizabeth street head
ed by John Milward, and the Keno8ba
Electric Railway Company and the de
cision is a complete victory for the
company. The case was submitted to
the court many months ago on briefs
and it should be said that the deci-
sion of the court was not held up on
account of any delay on the part of
the judge, but because of the fact that
the attorney for the plaintiffs had fail
ed to file brief in the case in time
to make an earlier decision possible.
In his decision Judge Belden does
not 60 at length into the merits Of the
briefs presented or the evidence, but
holds that the position of the defen-
dant, the Kenosha Electric Railway
Company, is fully supported by the
court on all points as presented in the
written brief filed by the attorney Tor
the defendant.
The suit was brought many years
ago with the avowed purpose of test
ing the right of the railway company
to operate cars on Elizabeth street.
The property owners held that the
company had no right to maintain a
single track on the street, holding that
at the time of the passage of the fran
chise the council gave the company
the right to elect as to whether it
would lay single or double track on
the street. The company elected to
lay a double track and after the tracks
had been laid the property owners
went into court and the supreme court
Of the state held that the street was
not wide enough for double tracks and
the company was forced to remove
one of the tracks. The contention Of
the property owners was Lhat aItef
electing to lay the double track the
company could not maintain single
track without getting new franchise
from the city council.
Under the rulings of Judge Belden
the position of the railway company is
fully sustained. It is very improbable
that the case will go to the supreme
court as the lack Of energy on the part
Of the property owners in pushing the
case in the circuit court seems to indi-
cate that they have practically given
up the fight. The decision is regarded
as of great Importance in that it Sc
cures the continued operation of the
street railway without any idea Of il
ference in the future.

William Dixon and James
Larsen Arrested After
Short Business Career
WORTHLESS CHECK THE CAUSE
Dixon is Arrested at 1Euzwonago and
Larsen is Picked Up by the Police in
Customers CIamor for tbs
Return Of Money Paid Company,

The police of the city are making
an effort to untangle the business re-
lations Of firm known as ''The City
Tailors, which for the past six
weeks has been in business in the
. 'Brien building on Main street. The
shop has been closed up aud William
Dixon, one of the proprietors is in jail
at Mukwonago charged with passing
worthless check while the other man
connected with the partnership, James
Larsen, is in the city locked up booked
with securing money under false pre-
lenses.
Dixon was arrested on Tuesday af
ternoon by the sheriff at Mukwonago
on a complaint sworn out by James
Millar, well known Main street insur-
ance man. Miller had a check issued
by Dixon on the Merchants and Saw
ings Bank in the sum of $40. This
check was presented to the bank and
refused payment. 1t was alleged that
Dixon had no account in The bank.
Dixon and Larsen closed up their
business the latter part CT last week
but card was left in the window stat
ing that the business would reopen
on last Saturday. When the two men
failed to put in an appearance people
who had done business with the com
pany appealed to the police. a man
representing Chicago tailoring com
pany came to Kenosha on Tuesday af-
ternoon and managed to make settle
ments with some of the customers who
had made advanced payment or cloth
ing. When the police took possession
of the place on Tuesday evening they
found nothing but lot Of samples.
It is said that there were number
of suits belonging to customers at 5he
American Express Company and an eff.
fort will be made to secure these suits
and deliver them.
Larsen and Dixon were originally
from Belcit, but they carle to Keno
sha six weeks ago from Chicago ard
opened ,he tailor shop. Their bust
ness was largely Of the mail order
nature.
It is claimed that the place had done
considerable business. The plan was
to ask deposit on suits. Larsen lie
cIared that he had violatel 10 law AMI
that so far as he was concerned al the
dealings of the company had been en-
tirely legal. lie admitted that the
company had not made any money end
that it had been hard scratching to
make expenses.
Chief O'Hare left his morning for
Mukwonago to bring Dixon to Keno
sha for hearing and it is probable
that the case of the two men wiIl be
taken up in the municipal court on
Thursday. It is possible that before
the cases are called for trial that Chi
cago connections Of inc company viii
arrange for a settlement Of All claims.

Meeting Called for Saturday
to Organize Beet Grow
ers of Two Counties
BIG INDUSTRY is Threatened
Farmers Declare That They Must Unite
to Protect Their Interests or Give Up
the Raising Of Beets in Racine and
1enosha County This Year

Sugar beet growers in Kenosha
county are planning to form an or
ganization for the protection Of their
mutual interests and the first movement
along this line win take place at q
meeting to be held at the village OF
Corliss on next Saturday afternoon.
1t is expected that several hundred
growers of beets in the two courties
will be present at the meeting and
that something will be done TO bring
better conditions before the opening
of another season.
John Horzog, town chairman Of tae
town Of Somers and one Of the largest
of the beet raisers in the two counties,
in speaking Of the proposed meeting
said: "This meeting has been called
by committee representing beet
growers in the two counties and if
the beet industry is to be continued
in Racine and Kenosha county it will
be absolutely necessary for tie
growers Of beets to have some sort
of an organization. Conditions pre-
vailing at the present time arc i'm
possible for the growers. We have
hundreds of tons Of beets ready for
shipment, but there are no cars to
ship them in and none have been or
dered. What the beet growers must
demand is contract with the factor
les Which, will make it possible 10 get
Che bee'g t. rne. factories before treeL
ing weather. The factories have the
ordering Of the cars for the shipment
Of the product and cars are not pro-
vided in time to save the beets. We
could 90 to the commission and get
cars, but under the contract the cars
must be ordered by the factories.
When the factories get well stocked
up the supply Of cars runs out and the
beets are left in the fields. In the
spring the farmers are urged to get
into the beet business and they are
given to understand that the demand
is greater than the supply. A lot Of
people are now raising beets and it is
beginning to look as if the supply was
lot larger than the demand. What
we want is a new form of contract
and the only way that we can get it is
to form an organization l believe
that the farmers interested in the beet
industry will see the necessity Of get
ting into this organization in order TO
have their crops properly protected
1t costs fifty dollars an acre to raise
beets here and if part of the crop
must be thrown away each year the
farmer raising It will ind he is a
heavy loser at the end Of the season. .
Several meetings have been held
among beet growers il other counties
and it is planned to have an organiza-
tion which will eventually take in all
the growers contributing to factories
in this district.

TO VISIT THE RACINE ASYLUM
Towns in the County Seek to Have
Bridges Built During Coming Year
County is Asked to Provide Display
Of it's Products at the State Fair.
(From Wednesday IS Daily

Members of the County Board OF
Supervisors got down to the routine
work of the session today and began
action on petitions. Many petitions
have been received from the various
towns in the county for the building
of bridges during the coming year. Bris-
toll has asked for two bridges and Plea
SAINT Prairie, Brighton, Somers and
Wheatland one each. E. A. Torkelson
Of Milwaukee who has applied for the
position Of Supervisor of Highways was
in Kenosha today and spent an hour
before The board discussing the build
ing of roads. Many of the members
Of the board put hard questions to Mr.
Torkelson with a view Of testing his
competency. Mr.. Torkelson let it be
understood that his experience had
shown him that good permanent roads
cost money and that it will be neces-
sary for the Board to provide this mon
ely if the roads are to be built next
year. He advised the board to move
slowly with view Of building perma.
nent roads even if the amount of work
done was curtailed.
Tomorrow will be the big day fo1
the members of the Board as the an
nual visit to the Racine Asylum for
the insane will be made at that time
It is expected that every member OF
the board will go to Racine. At Ra.
cine the members Of the county party
will be met by the officials of Racine
city and county and there will be the
usual big turkey dinner at the asylum
at noon after which the investigation
of conditions at the institution will be
made. The annual report of the Local
committee in charge of Investigating
the hospital was presented to the board
this morning. 1t showed that the com
mittee had found the institution in ex
cellent condition when the visits were
made during the year.
An effort is to be made to have the
county board father plan to get the
farmers of Kenosha county to take
more interest in the state fair at Mil

ed from The state board Of agriculture
urging the board to take some definite
action in this matter. A special build
ing is to be provided for county ex
hibits next year and the county board
Of every county in the state has been
asked to take some action to encour.
age the use of the building. Kenosha
county has never had a large exhibit
at the state fair. The board will prob
ably name special committee to take
up this matter and this committee viii
seek to arouse some enthusiasm among
the farmers in the county.
At the conclusion of the morning
session of the board today the annual
levy Of county school tax was made
The levy was interesting mostly from
the fact that the amount to be paid by
the city shows an increase of $4,000
over the amount paid last year. The
figures follow:

MAY HAVE THEIR PAY DOCKED
superintendent Mary D. Bradford De
clares That She Will Not Sign Vouch-
ers for Teachers Who Failed to Show
Professional Spirit in Milwaukee.

A storm is brewing among the
teachers of the city schools and some
of them will find their pay envelope
somewhat thinner than they expect
when the next pay day rolls around
and it is all on account Of the fact
that they have shown lamentable
lack of professional spirit in connec-
ton with the great meeting Of state
teachers recently held in Milwaukee.
At the meeting of the board Of ed
ueation on Tuesday evening the teach
ers were formally charged with
"playing hockey" It was declared
that the shopping districts OF Milwau-
kee held great attraction during the
morning hours and that the matinees
at the theatres in the afternoon prov
ed mere alluring to lot of the Keno
sha teachers than did the carefully
prepared sessions of the teacher s as
ISOLATION. This charge does rot apply
to all teachers in the city, but it does
apply to a bunch Of them and every
teacher who failed to show the proper
professional interest in the sessions Of
the state association will find that she
is short of pay at the end of the
month. The school sessions in Keno
sha were eliminated for two days
last week with the view of giving the
teachers Of the city every chance 20
attend the meetings of the state as
ISOLATION. They failed to make good.
:" admit, /" said Mrs. Mary D. Brad
ford, superintendent Of schools this
morning, "that [ am mad all the way
through. I am chagrined to believe
that the teachers of Kenosha should
show such a lack of professional spirit

the lack of interest was shown by mary
people whose utter lack Of professional
training was the most noticeable.

strongly that the teachers be paid in

was most humiliating to me to find that
the teachers from Kenosha had abused

ports from every teacher and many OF
these are decidedly unsatisfactory
This is simply business proposition

were paid for attending to their school
