Uncle Sam is busy hunting down the
manufacturers and sellers of fake in
secticides and preparations supposed to
be for the destruction OF troublesome
insects, but which on Investigation are
found adulterated, misbranded, or other
wise not up to the requirements of the
law. In addition to the continuous cam
paign against the food dopers and
adulterators. the Department Of Agri-
culture is devoting pretty close atten-
tion to the man who sells moth de-
stroyers that do not destroy and al
legged germ destroyers ana insect killers
that are So far from being fatal in
effect that the supposed victims merely
laugh at them.
Some OF the preparations on whose
trail the department is camping are
defective. some inert, some misbranded.
some adulterated. some short in weight.
or calculated to mislead or deceive The
purchaser. Notices OF Judgment In the
courts in considerable number are be-
ginning to be published by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The courts are not dealing with ths
infractors Of the insecticide law with
any special harshness In fact, some
OF the courts are extremely lenIent.
The officials OF the department, how
ever. think that enough Is being done
to discourage the takers in the insecti-
eide business and to promote better
methods In the manufacture and saIe
OF such preparations.
Many Lose Faith.
One is apt to lose faith In PREPARED

the like on scanning some Of the notices
of judgment. Here. for instance. is a
case from the district court for m.
Southern district of New York in which
a chemical company shipped into Iu-
nois a quantity of Cedar of Iebanon
and Camphor for the Prevention M
Moths" 1t was alleged In the label
that this substance with the Biblical
name had been used for centuries with
absolute safety, and that the combina-
ton of cedar with pure gum campbor
made it most suitable for the preserva-
ton of carpets, rugs, furs, and articles
subject to destruction by moths and
insects.
The. Government analysis showed it
no gum camphor, but con-
sisted wholly of chips of cedar. II was
the common red cedar at that, and
many miles removed from the true
cedar Of Lebanon. The company pIeado

the same company sold a Preparation

Substitute for Camphor.
In third case against this same
chemical company there was a ship
ment Of a so-called Extra Refined CAM
phorated Flake Compound" This was
alleged to keep moths and insects out of
clothing, furniture, and the like. 1t was
found to be. not camphor, but naphtha-
lene which does not destroy moths or
insects. In this case, the company en-
tered plea of guilty and paid the costs
and SIS fine. ...
In another case, a New Orleans con-
Germ shipped paris green out in pack
ages which were found to be under
weight. The company escaped by put
ting up bond to comply with the law.
A Detroit concern shipped out a sub
stance known as Zenoleum," which
consisted in part of water. The court
ordered the goods destroyed.
A Cleveland company was fined $50
and costs for shipping out adulterated
and misbranded arsenate of lead An
other Cleveland concern was fined SIS

legal to be misbranded, and also other

Members of the Knights of
Pythias Gather to observe
Anniversary Of Founding
DANCE MARKS Anniversary

Over one hundred Pythians together
with their families and friends gather
ed at Gas Hall Tuesday evening to
celebrate the founding Of Red Cross
Lodge No. IS. Dancing was the main
feature of the entertainment, and with
the exception of an hour devoted to a
musical and literary program, it held
the boards for the entire evening. Miss
Isabelle Heaton rendered two very
pleasing recitations, the first entitled,
I" Stealing Watermelons and the second
q Mrs. O'Toole and the Conductor. y
The young lady showed splendid train
ing and her effort won hearty applause.
Past Chancellor Commander Conrad
Shearer gave a brief history of the
lodge and praised the work Of the or
der. Founded in October, 1890, with
quarters in the Simmons building, the
present site of Bode Bros. store, the
lodge started with charter member
ship of twenty-five. I'll. j. Rudolph,
then newspaper man in the city, was
one Of the founders and the first execu-
tive officer. Many interesting remin-
iscences of the early days of the lodge
and it's social gatherings brought back
fond memories Of olden times when fra
ternities were far less numerous in Ke-
nosha than they are today
At the close Of the program, the
members and ladies repaired to the
dining room where dainty refreshments
were served. Several of the knights
acted as walters and the service was
above criticism. This is the first time
that the Pythians have held an ami
versary celebration, and it was resolved
to make it an annual event as is the
custom in many other cities. Credit
for the success of the celebration is
due Chancellor Commander Frank
Hubbard and Harry Thompson, chair
man of the committee on arrangements,
who have worked faithfully the past
fortnight in making the necessary plans
and issuing invitations to the mem
bers.

SETTLE RATE CASES.
Express Schedules are Settled by an
Agreement With the State.

The suits brought by The express
companies operating in Wisconsin to
restrain the enforcement of the recent
order Of the state railroad commission,
reducing the rates on merchandise
about twenty per cent, were settled by
agreement between the state and the
companies whereby the railroad COM
mission is to issue supplemental order
substituting rates similar to those re-
Gently ordered by the interstate COM
mission for the rates ordered by it.
As soon as the supplemental order is
issued the express companies will move
to have its suits dismissed. The new
rates are to go into effect at the same
time as those ordered by the interstate
commission, which will be on December
/, or soon thereafter. The state rail
road commission considers that the new
rates to be ordered will be practically
as low generally as those recently or
dered by it. Attorney General w. G..
Owen represented the state and At
'torney Edwin S. Mack the express
companies. The members Of the rail-
road commission were at the confer
ence at which the settlement was reach

TO OFFICIALS
Alderman Who is Head of the License
Committee Holds That Evidence of
Woman Who Was Found in Place is
Adequate to Close Up Saloon.

The saloon of William T. Kruger on
Market Square was closed Just after
eight O'Clock Tuesday evening at the
order 0f Alderman August Kisten,
chairman d, the license committee of
the common council and it is under
stood that the closing of the place is
preliminary step to making demand
on the council for the revocation of tho
license under which the place has been
conducted.
Alderman Kisten acted in closing the
place following the arrest of Kruger
on charges of violating the closing reg
u'ations but this fact alone was not
the cause of the closing of the saloon.
Before ordering the saloon closed Alder
man Kisten took the matter up at
length with the chief of police aud the
district attorney and he had submitted
to him all of the facts connected with
the finding of Mrs. Clara Gregg in the
place at an early hour Tuesday morn
ing.
The alderman did not take away the
license of Kruger but he was notified
to close up and keep closed with the
warning that should any effort be made
to open the place The aseESe Mould be
taken away and he would be prescott
ed.
Kruger when arraigned in court on
charges of violating the closing regula-
tions entered a plea of "not guilty"
The hearing Of the case was adjourned
and Kruger released on bond. Tues
day afternoon both Kruger and the
Gregg woman were at the Office of the
municipal judge and every feature of
the charges against Kruger was taken
into consideration. He made many adj.
missions and the story told by the wo-
man who is minor was Of most sem
sational nature. When the place was
closed Kruger declared TIT he would
bring an action for damages against the
city council and the head of the Ii
cense committee.
II was convinced that the Kruger
place should be closed up and [ will
later submit the matter to the coun-
cil,' said Alderman Kisten, following
the closing Of the saloon. 81 am in
possession of the full facts in regard
to the place and am convinced that
Kruege has violated Che laws and the
city ordinances and the place can not
continue unless some one with higher
authority grants it a right | am con-
WINGED that Kruger is not suitable
man to operate a saloon in Kenosha
Kruger appealed to the mayor and
the judge of the municipal court this
morning in an effort to get the place
opened up but neither of these officials
were wiling to take any action as OPP
posed to the action taken by the chair
man of the committee in closing the
place 1t is not probable that the mat
ter will be laid before the council I'M
til the court action against Kruger is
disposed Of. In the meantime other
charges may be brought against Krue-
ger under the orders of the district at
torney.
