BRAVES WILL BE
IN NEXT SERIES
BY HAL SHERIDAN.

(Written for the United Press.)
New York. Nov. 5-The most human
thing the Philadelphia Athletics have
done in the last couple of years was
to take licking from the Boston
Braves. 1t wasn't humping as re-
suit of which doubt might be express
ed, but good, sound hrashing, and
this means much in the general CON
sideration of what may happen in the
American league during the season of
1915.
The winter league outlook is that
Boston has an excellent chance OF
having corner on the Worlds series
next year. The spell of the Mackmen
has been broken. 1t doesn't take any
superhuman efforts to turn the trick.

STATE INTERESTED IN WAR.
Big German Population Taking Grea-
Interest in European Struggle.

Wisconsin more than the average
American state is interested in the
giant war that is being fought in Eu
rope. More than third of her popu
lation is either German or Of German
extraction, and thousands of Wiscon
sin families are represented by rela
tives or friends in the fighting army
of the Kaiser. The story Of how Wis
consin received her German popula
tion is one of much interest. As early
as 1880, when the reaction had set in
throughout Europe, disappointed Ger
man reformers were turning theil
steps toward the newly opened terri
tory of Wisconsin. They represented
the flower of German culture and re
ceived ready welcome in their new
homes. The enthusiastic letters which
they sent to compatriots at home OF
the climate and soil of Wisconsin soor
attracted hither large numbers OF
others, and by 1S47, when Wisconsin
was ready to frame its constitution
their influence was strong enough, to
write into the document extremely
liberal provisions regarding franchise
rights of foreign immigrants.
When the Revolution of 1913, the
supreme effort of the German liberals
failed, thousands fled in discourage
ment and came to Wisconsin to build
there the home of their ideals. With
them came the brilliant men, such as
Carl Schurz, who were to lead Wis
consin Germans in the coming conflict
against slavery. The tide of immigra-
tion reached its height in 1854, but
large numbers of Germans continued
to come until Wisconsin became popu-
larry known as the distinctively Ger
man state of the Union, and Milwau-
kee as the Berlin of America. = An

The Rev. Peter Rech Is Sta
toned at Third Church
Milwaukee by Conference.
REV. ]. HUPpERT TO COME HERE

The Rev. Peter Rech, for the past
seven years pastor of the German
Methodist church in Kenosha is to go
to new field of labor, as when the ap-
pointments were read at the last SEES
sion of the German Methodist confer
ence at Oshkosh on Sunday afternoon
Mr.. Rech was transferred to the Third
Church in Milwaukee and the Rev.
Jacob Huppert, who has been pastor of
the Milwaukee church was sent to Ke-
nosha.
The announcement Of the fact that
received any too favorably by the
members of the Kenosha church as he
has been decidedly popular with the
members of the congregation and there
was an unanimous call for his return
for another year. This does not mean
that the Rev. Mr.. Huppert will not be
given the most kindly of welcomes, but
the members of the church regret that
the officials of the conference and the
bishop did not see their way clear to
return Mr.. Rech to this pastorate.
Mr.. Rech is now winding up his sec
ond passionate in Kenosha. Some years
ago he came to Kenosha and served
the people of the church for FIVE years
and was then removed. Seven years ago
he came for his second pastorate and
under his management the church has
had large growth both in mem err
ship and in spiritual power.
Mr.. Rech has been active in the work
of uplifting Kenosha both in and out
side of his own church work and his
leaving the city will be regretted by
many who are not directly connected
with the church he has so long served
as pastor.
Mr. Rech and the members of his
family will leave for their new home
in Milwaukee some time next week.

consin. This has been made possible
by the removal Of medical bacteriology
to Science Hall. The whole top floor
of South Hall will be given up to the
state laboratory of hygiene and facili-
ties for work there will be much ex-
tended. The state laboratory of Hy-
giene is the laboratory of the state
board of health. It is maintained out
of university funds because Of the mu-
tual benefits thus derived by the state
board of health on the one hand and
the medical school on the other. 1t is
under the supervision of a special com
mittee composed of DR.. G. A Harper
and DR.. VIM F. Whyte, representing
the state board Of health, and OF Presi.

Since the resignation Of DR.. M. P.
Ravenel as director of the laboratory
work has been placed under the imme-
date charge of DIR. w. D. Stovall, chief
bacteriologist, and E. J. Tully, chief
chemist. The chief purposes of the
laboratory are:
l. To make such laboratory examin-
ations as will be of aid to public
health officers and physicians in dia-
gnoslng contagious and infectious dis
eases and determining their cause
where the public health is concerned.
Thus examinations are made Of sputum
Of persons suspected Of being afflicted
with tuberculosis, of blood for suspect
ed cases of typhoid fever or malaria, of
swabs from the throats of patients sus-
pected of diphtheria for diagnosis and
for the relief from quarantine. Exam
nations are likewise made for determ-
lining the presence Of hydrophobia in
man or animals, anthrax and CHAMBERS.
In all cases special directions arc fur

properly shipped The examine tions
are made free of charge.
2. To aid public health officers in
the determination Of the purity of wa,

3. To aid in the determination of
the nature and cause of outbreaks of
disease in the state.
4. To maintain department for the
pasteur treatment Of persons bitten by
tabid animals.
5. To aid in the education Of public

WAR NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT
G. Fl. Hurd, Kenosha's Largest Local
Dealer, Believes Var Conditions
Do Not Warrant Increase
in Price of Drugs.

Any effort of druggists throughout
the country to take advantage Of the
European war to increase the price of
medicinal drugs is unwarranted and an
injustice to the public. To be sure the
present market for few chemicals is
abnormally high and French, German
and English toilet articles have in
creased Ill price, but these are not me-
cessities and we have here in America
manufacturers of these products that if
not superior are equally good. If the
public instead of seeking imported ar
ticles at the increased price would buy
American made products the chief eff
feet of the conflict across the water
so far as drugs are concerned would be
the stimulation of home manufacture.
Il believe that congress should al
low pharmaceutical laboratories to
manufacture coal tar products which
are now permitted to be controlled I'M
der patents granted to foreign coun-
tries. Why should Europe be allowed
to control the process and to receive a
trademark on the process and name in
this countrys
Our patent laws ought to be so
amended as to protect the American
public, permitting the manufacture and
import of drugs and chemicals without
restriction. Chemicals and coal tar pro-
ducts largely used in this country can
be bought for from so to rs per cent
less in Canada, under their chemical
name, than the same products can be
imported to this country, under coin
ed trademark. y
As heretofore, my prices will remain
uniformly low and nothing advanced |
unless absolutely necessary.

Who Had Charge Of Polling Places

The primary election on Tuesday
was killer on the election officials
and when some of the men completed
the count of votes along about eight
clock this morning they held up their
good right hands and swore "Never

most tedious job ever put up to the men
who handle elections in the city and

than ten per cent Of the voters in the
county paid any attention to the Mary
Ann provision and where any attention
was paid to it the voting was grotesque
Some men voted for Philip for first
choice and Dahl for second, while an
other man held Awkward as first and
karel as second choice. In some places
men wrote in their third choice Of the
candidates for sheriff and would have
put in fourth if there was room on
the ballot. There was the usual con-
fusion Of writing democratic nominees
IN on republican ballots. All of these
things added more troubles to the over
worked men who counted the votes.
That was not all. With the coming
OF the rain armies of flies were driven
into the polling places and in some of
the wards the officials were all but
eaten up. They fought the army of
flies with papers and fly swatters but
all night long the flies got in their
deadly work. Out in the ninth ward
the men were busy counting when the

fact that the polls had closed at FIVE

Brighton and it gave Stahl pa votes

city and mo one seemed to think that
it was possible that the report was
joke, but when they discovered that
Brighton had about hundred votes
they began to look for more definite
returns.
Little attention was paid to the
social democratic and prohibition votes
IN making up the returns as there
were no contests on these tickets. A
careful estimate placed the socialist
vote in the county at a little less than
400 and the prohibition vote at so.
One of the strange things in connec-
ton with the primary was that two
prohibition votes were cast in the sixth
ward and both of them were found to
be defective.

Battles In GaIicia and Prussia

Three Army Corps Were

London, Sept. 2.-The battles In
east Prussia and in GaIicia are now
believed to have been among the
mightiest conflicts known in history.
So much Is indicated by dispatches
from the capitals of all the nations
involved. What triumphs may have
been won by either side, it is as yet
impossible to state with authority.
From official German sources come
statements that the kaisers men have
won brilliant and decisive victory
over the Russians at Allenstein. al
most wipins out three Russian army
corps (about 10000 mem, and taking
10000 prisoners along with their off,
GERS, their equipment and all the Rus
sian artillery engaged.
A wireless message from Berlin
says:
The German victory at Allen
stein proves greater than had been
expected. The Russian forces there
have been crushed In addition to
the thousands OF private soldiers and
minor officers captured, the Germans
have taken two generals. Brazilian
military attache at Berlin says that
the German victories are no sur
prise to those who have seen the Ger
man maneuvers in peace"
Against the German claims of
great success are opposed contradic-
tons from official Russian sources.
At st. Petersburg it is stated off,
cially:
"The Russian armies maintain all
their positions and continue on the
aggressive. The Austrians have suf-
fered heavy defeats. with great losses
at the hands of the Russian army in
Galicia."
Austrian Lose 10000.
Further details of the fighting in
Galicia, where 100000 men have been
engaged, are contained in dispatches
from Bucharest, Roumania, which
reached London by way of Rome.
One of these messages says:
"The Roumanian government was
officially informed that the Russian
army invading Galicia has admins
tered crushing defeat to the Aus
TRANS, at least 10000 of whom are
killed or wounded. 1t is believed that
