CATTLE ARE KILLED.
Herd Driven from Truesdell to Gurnee,
Ill, Slaughtered Friday by Officials.

The forty-six head of cattle recently
driven from Truesdell to Gurnee, ILL.,,
and later found to be infected by the
foot and mouth disease, were slaughter
ed at Gurnee on Friday afternoon by
w. l.. Seymour, one of the officials of
the state Of Illinois. All of the cattle
killed were affected with the disease.
These cattle had been shipped to Trues-
dell from the Union Stock Yards in
Chicago and they showed signs of be-
ing i'll within few hours after they
had reached Truesdell. The shipment
of these cattle into Kenosha county
brought the first guarantees to prevent
the spread of the disease. DIR. Hug
gins, the local representative of the
state veterinarian, and DIR. Roser. the
federal inspector, are keeping close tab
on the cattle in this county which have
been exposed and this far they have
not found any case of the disease in
any of the six or seven quarantined
herds. The shipment of cattle from
Wisconsin to the stock yards in Chica-
GO is to be resumed after midnight on
Sunday but great precaution is to be
taken in connection with all shipments
Officials of the state and the federal
government will keep close tab on all
interstate shipments and it is probable
that this inspection will be kept up for
some time.

PROPOSE NEW PLAN
Civil Service Examinations for Rural
Carriers May be Done Away With.

Wisconsin rural free delivery ear
riers, along with all the other carriers
of the United States, will be interested
in the idea of Postmaster General Bur
Lesson to do away entirely with the
civil service requirements for rural
carriers and substitute the old contract
system. There appears to be an OBJ
stacle to Mr. Burleson accomplishing
this plan, and that is the unwillingness
of congress to return to the days of the
old star route system. When Burleson
gets his plan in shape so that legisla-
tive action will be next in order, the
matter will be presented to the post
Office committees of the senate and
house. Representative Stafford of Wis
consin is member of the committee.
Burleson plan to replace the present
civil service carrier system, he believes,
will mean saving of $20,000,000
year by putting the carrying Of the
rural mails out at contract.

BIG PLUM FOR RANDOLPH,
State Senator of Manitowoc to be Made
United States Marshal Soon.

Leaders of the democracy in Keno
sha county have received a tip from
the inside and it is declared that with
III few days State Senator Samuel w.
Randolph of Manitowoc, will be named
as United States marshal for Wiscon-
sin. 1t is declared that the appoint
ment has been agreed to by President
Wilson and that it will be sent out
from Washington within few days.
Senator Randolph was prominent among
the democrats at the last session of
the legislature and he has been a lead
er OF the party in the state for mum
Der of years. He has been one of the
most active of the so-called |EWilson
Democrats. The position is regarded
as the best IN the gift of President Will
son so far as Wisconsin is concerned.
Several of the Kenosha leaders had
looked on the job until their mouths
watered like a heifer suffering from
foot and mouth disease, but they learn
ed early in the year that the position
would probably not come to this coun-
ty The Manitowoc senator is widely
known among Kenosha democrats and
his appointment would meet with their
approval

GET ASYLUM REPORT.
Members Of County Board Get Report
Of Work at Racine Institution.

Members of the county board of
supervisors have received copies of the
annual report of the Racine county
asylum for the insane where a majority
of the chronic insane from Kenosha
county are now being cared for. The
report is an interesting one.
During the year ending June 80, 1914,
the total receipts of the asylum were
$50, 1862; total disbursements, $780,
07079, leaving balance on hand July
l, 1914, of $14,035.83. This is the very
best showing of the asylum since it was
established, and there is little doubt
but that it leads all others in the state.
During the year the patients have en-
jcyed good health; returns from the
farm have been large and the institu-
ton carefully and efficiently managed.
During the year there were 213 patients,
16 were admitted, 16 died, one was pa
rolled and three transferred. There
were slaughtered $4,000 pounds of beef;
$4,000 pounds of pork; 1000 pounds of
veal; 900 pounds Of chickens for own
use; rendered 700 pounds Of lard; gath
cred 1885 eggs; canned 1,042 quarts
of strawberries; 100 quarts of pieplant;
SO quarts of tomatoes; 100 quarts of
beans; 25 quarts of sweet cucumbers;

LII sheets; 50 pillow cases; so pairs of
window curtains; IS aprons; 40 dresses;
25 tablecloths; 90 roller towels; man

SEEK LEGISLATIVE JOBS.
Three Kenosha Men Take Examinations
for Places in Legislative Offices.

Kenosha may have some representa-
ton among the employees of the com
ing session of the legislature as this
morning a civil service examination
was held at the court house and three
Kenosha young men, Glen Balcom,
Omar P. Kupfer and Ben FL. Lam
brecht took the examinations. The
three men are seeking positions as mes
sengers and general clerks. With the
opening of the legislature there win be
close to three hundred positions open
and it is not improbable that all of
the Kenosha young men will have a
chance to find employment during the
season. Kenosha county has always
had some representation among the EN-
ployees of the legislature and it is
probable that the same rule will be fol
lowed this year.

& The signs of life in connection with
the track elevation project are very
welcome to every one who realizes the
situation in the labor market in this
city and it is hoped that the order for
the elevation work will be handed
down in plenty of time for the work
to get under way early in the spring
It is realized that in matter of such
Importance, the rulings on which will
establish precedent for whatever ele-
walton work is undertaken in the fut-
ure in all of the cities of the state
the commission must take its time and
give the matter most careful considera-
ton from every. angle, but any effort
the city authorities can make to con
vince the commission of the importance
of an early decision in this matter will
be appreciated by the hundreds of men
who hope to get a job on the elevation
work. Although the railway company
has seven years in which to complete
the work under its agreement il IS
probable that the work will BE taken up
in whole or in part by the company as
soon as feasible after the order for ele-
walton is handed down by the commits
sion. And it would be great thing
for Kenosha if the company could be
persuaded to go ahead and complete
the whole job at once. There are more
men idle and in need of employment
right now in Kenosha than there ever
will be again in all probability and it
would be great thing for the city and
the railway company to put them to
work on the track elevation. A guar
antee can be given the company that
there will be no scarcity of labor. Tt
is certain that an effort will be made
by the big shippers to persuade the
company to undertake the track eleva-
tion Immediately as soon as the order
authorizing the work comes from the
commission.

CLAIM LAW IS ExTRAvAGAAT
Members of Board Unanimously Recon-
mend Repeal Of the Law and Passing
of New Law Giving Powers to Coun-
ties for Road Building.

Kenosha county has gone on record
as being in favor Of the repeal of the
state highway law and at the meeting
of the board on Friday afternoon a
resolution was passed by unanimous
vote calling on the Legislature of the
state to repeal the existing law and
place the work of building roads more
directly under the direction of the
counties of the state. The resolution
adopted by the Kenosha county board
were drafted by committee composed
of Supervisors Willis A. Epson of Bris-
toll, T. F. Fleming Of Salem and B. H.
Elvermann of Randall, all Of them be-
ing strong advoca les Of road work in
the county. This committee was named
at the January session of the board
and during the year the members of the
committee have made careful study
of the road law and the work that has
been done under it. Copies of the reso-
buttons are to be sent not only to the
representatives of the county in the
senate and in the lower house of the
legislature, but to every county in the
state. The resolutions as adopted
follow:
To the Honorable Chairman and Mem
bers of the Board of Supervisors of
Kenosha county.
Gentlemen
9 Your committee appointed on the
25th of last February to draft resolu-
tion as to repeal Of the state aid high
way law, respectfully submit the
following:
Whereas, We believe that the present
State Aid Highway Law as carried out
under the State Highway Commission,
is extravagant and wholly unnecessary,
that the money now spent to maintain
this commission had much better be ex-
pended in the actual construction of
highways, inasmuch as the townships
pay one third, the county one-third
making two-thirds of all moneys ex-
pended. Yet no work can be executed
under the present law unless the State
Highway Commission consent thereto,
which destroys all local control of all
roads put upon the State Highway
System.
We believe that the present State
Highway Law should be repealed, and
law enacted placing the construction
of highways directly under the super
vision of counties; that each county
have highway commissioner and pay
an equal amount to all sums raised by
legal vote in the several townships
Therefore, Be it Resolved, That this
board call upon its representative in
the state senate and it's member of as
sembly to work to this end and that
copy Of this resolution be sent to each
country clerk Of this state to be pre-
sented to the board of supervisors for
their action
Respectfully submitted,
W. A. Epson,
T. Fleming,
B. FL. Elvermann.

ISSUE CALL FOR ANNUAL MEET.
State Suffrage Assn. to Hold Three Day
Convention in Milwaukee, Dec. 2-5.

Official notice has been issued for
the annual convention of the Wiscon-
sin Woman's Suffrage Association. to
be held at Milwaukee, Dec. 3, 4, and 5.
All women interested in the greatest
cause in the world today, the cause of
human freedom, are invited to come
to the convention. The call says:
Come, if you believe that women
workers should have the same chance
to earn a living and to be paid ac-
cording to their ability, that men
workers have.
Come, if you believe that women
and men should stand on an equality
before the law and that therefore some
laws in Wisconsin need changing.
Come, if you believe in a single
standard of morality for men and
women.
"Come, if you believe that the
mothers of the race should have
broader interests and knowledge, ideas
of citizenship, if they are to rightly
train the future citizens of this
great republic.
"Come, if you believe that children
need the voice of mothers in the laws
Of city and state and nation as well
as in the home.
"Come, if you believe that war is
barbaric and therefore has no place
in present or future civilization.
"Come, if you believe in women,
believe that they have minds capable
of growth and hearts which beat
deeply and truly.
"Come and help to dissipate the in
sulting assumption that women are too
ignorant or too petty or too emotional
or too anything else to assume and dis
charge any duties that fall to their lot.
Come and give the lie to the insinua-
ton that education and responsibility
will unwoman woman
Remember that this is your contest,
your responsibility. You may not
recognize it but you cannot evade it.
You profit every day of your lives by
the work of the women gone before.
1t is your plain duty to help discharge
this debt by helping the women who
come after.
''We shall have a fine convention.
1t will help you and your presence
will help US. Come. !"

The report made to the county board
shows that the exhibit of this county
at the state fair cost only 1914 and
that $40 of this amount came back to
the people of the county in the way of
premiums, Every one who saw the
Kenosha county display is willing to
admit that the county got value re-
ceived for the money and will approve
of an appropriation by the board for an
exhibit next year. Most of the coun-
ties of the state had exhibits at the
fair and the one from this county com
pared favorably with any of them.
Joseph Bishop, who was appointed by
the board to collect and install the ex-
hibit from this county, is entitled to
credit for the good display made. 1t
has been long time since Kenosha
county had any direct interest in the
fair, but from the way the people of
the county came forward with their
exhibits and eo-operated with Mr.. Bis
hop in getting together display that
reflected credit on the county it is evil
dent that they approve of this form of
boosting.' It viii be easier to get
together a display for next year if the
supervisors make the necessary ammo.

While it is admitted that there is a
wide difference of opinion among the
medical experts as to the possibility
OF the foot and mouth disease being
communicated to adults through infect
ed milk, it is declared that there are
well authenticated cases of the disease
having been given to children in this
way and until it is absolutely certain
that there is absolutely no chance of
the disease breaking out in the herds
which produce the milk supply of the
city the injunction of Health Commits
Sioner McShane to ''boil the milk =
should be followed to the letter. 1t
should not be inferred from this warn
ing issued by the commissioner that
every possible precaution to safeguard
the milk supply of the city is not be-
ing taken. The herds and the manner
in which the milk is being handled are
being watched as never before. But
the danger lies in the possibility that
the milk from some infected cow will
get into the supply before the disease
is far enough advanced in the animal
to be detected. Take no chances. The
trouble it takes to sterilize the milk is
a small price to pay for safety.

MAY INVOKE FEDERAL Law.
Hunting and Shooting of Game is For
hidden on the Sabbath Day.

hidden on the Sabbath Day.
1t is not generally known, but it is
fact that the federal law prohibits
hunting and shooting Of game on the
Sabbath day Notwithstanding this
fact the law is violated every Sunday
in Racine and Kenosha counties. Pos
sibly one hundred and fifty foreigners
who, perhaps have no knowledge of the
law, go out and shoot up the farms, of
ten killing tame chickens and other
barn yard fowls. There is talk on the
part of farmers Of enforcing this law
and should an organization be perfect
ed wholesale arrests are anticipated.
The farmer believes that he is entitled
tc rest, at least on the Sabbath day.
A farmer from the state Of Minnesota
was in Kenosha recently and he said
that in that section Of the country
hunters did not bother the farmers.
They are organized and when a hunter
appears on farm he is ordered off and
the farmer phones his next neighbor,
and so when the hunter arrives at that
farm he is forbidden to hunt. In this
way the hunters do not violate the
trespass law.

It is expected that thousand people
will witness the game on the afternoon
