Lazy Bill while Il comedy, savers
much of The old ia shioned melodrama.
In some respects the story is PRETTY
told. Yet in others ii is cheapened by
the slapstick comedy of the two tramp
characters which have nothing what
ever to DO in carrying out the play and
are worked in as doubles in order, ap-
parently, to permit them TO earn thel1
salaries.

his head against either a seat or the

Attorney General Holds that
Moosers May Not Have a
Designation in State.
MAY FIGHT OPINION IN COURT

Attorney General Owen today advis-
ed, in an unofficial opinion, that the
national progressive party is not en-
titled to have party column on the
ballot, but may have separate party
ticket for state and national officers
in the primary The reasoning upon
which this view depends is the fact
that the party did not have a candi-
date for governor last fall
1T is matter of common knowl-
edge says the opinion, "that the
progressive party, so-called, did not
have candidate for governor at the
last general election either as a party
in the party column on the official
ballot or as an individual and an in
dependent nominee representing said
party. 1t is fairly clear, therefore,
in my opinion, upon the statute and
upon the opinion of the supreme court
constituting the statute that said party
is not entitled to have a party col
umn on the official ballot at the next
general election, although it will be
entitled to have separate party tic
ket for state and national officers in
the primary. Its nominees at the
primary would, under the present
state law, have to be placed on the
electoral ballot in column headed
independent =
The opinion was called forth by an
inquiry from H. R. Tiegs, secretary
of the Milwaukee Progressive Club,
who asked whether the progressive
party vote at the general election
entities the party to place a state and
national ticket in the field.

twenty to finish in the big contest CON

Bob would have been in first place.
but the place given him assures him
just as good an outing for the summer
as will be given to the first boy on
the list. The Kenosha contestant
finished with total of 1000 votes
and this was 5000 more than was need
ed to get him into the list Of the
twenty young people who will take the
long trip to Panama and return by
way Of the Pacific coast and Yellow

have not as yet been announced but
the party will start on the six weeks

MANY COMPLAINTS.
Coming in On Account of Disorderly
House in Pleasant Prairie.

Frequent complaints are being re-
ceiyed by the officials of the city on
account of the operation Of disorder
ly house in the town of Pleasant Pral-
RE just outside the limits of the city
aud it IS probable that a formal de-
mand will be made upon the district
attorney to clean up the place just as
soon as he returns from trip through
the east. The place seems to be run
ming without molestation just at pres
ent although a short time ago the
keeper and inmates were brought into
court and fined. Following the order
of the police and fire commission all
disorderly houses in Kenosha were
cleaned out by the police of the city
and closed up and they have remained
closed. 1t is said that the keeper of
the Pleasant Prairie house is public
spirited and that she has already stat
ed her willingness to make generous
contributions for the Improvement of
highways. The keeper has been fully
advised of The provisions of the state
law in regard to the existence of such
places ard she seems to be ready to
take her chances on arrest and prose-
cution. The place is said to have four
inmates besides the landlady. 1t is a
little unusual that no complaints
against it have been made by people
living in houses surrounding it not
withstanding the fact that the portion
of the town in which it is located is
pretty thickiy settled. The complaints
have for the most part come from peo-
pie residing in other districts.

HIT At FAKE CURES
Sufferers from tuberculosis
Are Warned Against the
Alleged Remedies.
MANY ARE CALLED FRAUDS

Within the last five years, no less
than 500 fraudulent "cures' for con
sumption have been tried upon thou
sands of victims in the United States,
and the eXploiters of these nostrums
have reaped a clear profit of not less
than $4,000, 900. This is an estimate
made by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis in a bulletin issued today.
The National Association estimates
that not less than $4,000, 600 is invest
ed in the business of manufacturing
and exploiting fake cures of tubercu-
losis, and that the annual income from
these concerns and individuals is $15,-
100000. About one-third of this amount
is spent for advertising, leaving profit
of $l0,000,000 a year, which is blood
money" taken from ignorant consump-
tives.
Three kinds of consumption cure
frauds are distinguished by the asso-
citation, the first being the institute y
fraud, where a pseudo hospital or dis
pensary is established and the willy
:" doctor" or "professor" administers
Treatments at so much per head.
These concerns also carry on a mail
order business with great profit. The
second group of cures contains over a
hundred different kinds of drugs and
"patent" devices, any of which may
be purchased at drug store. Usually
the consumptiye is charged from 81 to

when he could make them up in exactly
the same form for from one to FIVE
cents.
The third group of "cures" includes
home made remedies, which certain
self -deluded individuals believe will
cure tuberculosis. Among them are
such things as onions, lemons, coal
smoke, pigs blood, alcohol, dog oil,
teas of various kinds, and variety of
diets, including goats meat, clabbered
milk and score of other articles.
These are not usually advertised for
profit, but are usually given publicity
in various WAYS

Industrial Commission Ar
ranges for Hearing of the
Umathum Case July Is.
CITY MUST PAY MANS MOTHER

City Attorney John c. Slater receiv-
ed official notice this morning that
members of the industrial commission
would come to Kenosha on July 18th
to take evidence in the petition Of
Mary Umathum for an adjustment of
claims against the city of Kenosha
growing out of the death Of John
Umathum, her son. Umathum was
found dead on the boiler int the base
ment Of the Deming school nearly a
year ago and at the time it was alleg-
ed that his death has resulted from his
coming in connection with an electric
wire. No formal claim was made
against the board of education or the
city for the death of the man, but the
mother some time ago filed a petition
with the state industrial commission
asking that the commission investigate
the facts in the case and fix the com
pensation to be paid by the city of
Kenosha. Attorney Slater declares
that there is no chance for the city
to escape liability under the present
rules Of the commission. He insisted
this morning that the hearing would
be simply for the purpo Of establish
ing the amount that the mother should
receive from the city. Umathum had
worked as a janitor in the school and
it is said that he had contributed a
portion of his earnings for the support
of his mother The city caused an in
vestigation to be made and it was de-
clared that there were grave doubts as
to the cause Of the death of the JAM
tor. It is possible that the attorney
for the city will seek to show this
phase Of the question at the hearing.

BITTEN BY A DOG.
Five Year Old Harold Huck Seriously
Bitten on Wednesday Afternoon.

Harold Huck, the five year OLD son
of Mr. and Mrs Albert Huck was at
tackled by vicious dog near his home
on Lake avenue on Wednesday after
noon and complaint was made to the
police today demanding that the dog
which belonged to John Williams be
killed. Young Huck was running along
the street when the dog jumped at him
and planted his teeth in the left breast
of the boy causing severe wound.
He was taken to a physician and the
wound cauterized The physician is
hopeful that the wound will not prove
dangerous one, but the flesh was
badly torn by the teeth of the dog. 1t
is claimed that the dog has bitten
other people and it is probable that
the police will see to it that it is kill
ed at once.
