In Praise o: Poverty,

It seems a matter Of universal desire
that poverty should be abolished. Wa

still delighted in him, still endeavored
to induce him to accept it's credit. This
gave him new distress; he knew him
self-he knew he would go out that
night and run more debts.
| Suddenly he knew what to do. It
came to him without an effort of the

Without word to Rankin, stealthily
and secretly, he went forth into the
afternoon in his smart runabout, still
driven by the taxi-cabman, who now
regarded him with something akin to
worship, and sought gunshop and
chemists.
In the former he made purchase of

property Of creditors, to buy so many

However, he feared that to ask for one

trate what he had in mind, so he put
the heavy box into his pocket. 1t
made 1t sag OutrageousIy, which very
much annoyed him. No man On
Broadway was more careful Of his
clothes. But what, after ali, did a
sagged pocket matter now?
At the chemists he secured an ounce
Of bichloride of mercury, which had
been fashionable Of late among smart
suicides. He had no difficulty in oh.
tanning it. This eased him and fur

that though 1t held potentialities as

AS he whirled uptown in the run

He liked the feel of neither of them.
The revolver was so hard and bust

solemnly reviewed his life. He saw no

is to stop all movement of stock and
material which have been subjected 90
any danger of infection, and to kill off
without delay all herds in which the
disease has gained any foothold. This
enables the authorities to eradicate af-
fected herds and to isolate and hold
under observation all suspected herds.
For these reasons, the department of
agriculture has already quarantined ten
states for the foot and mouth disease.
The federal quarantine prevents all in
terstate movement of stock and mate
rails likely to carry the infection. At
the same time the state authorities
are imposing local guarantees which
prevent the passage of animals from
farms or localities known to be infect
ed to other localities in the same state
in which the disease has not appeared.
Each infected herd, as rapidly as the
disease is discovered, is killed and the
dead animals buried in a covering of
lime. The skins of the animals are
slashed so as to permit the rapid ac-
ton of the lime.
The owner of the slaughtered animals
is reimbursed on basis of the appraised
value of the herd, the appraiser being
appointed by the state. The expense
of the whole process of condemnation
and disinfection is divided equally be-
tween the federal and state govern
ments.
Until the entire premises have been
thoroughly disinfected and all danger
of Spreading Of the disease removed,
the farm is quarantined by the local
authorities in the same way in which
it would be for a contagious human
disease. This local quarantine prevents
the visit of individuals or the transfer
of any produce or animals from the
farm to other farms. In some cases,
because human beings can carry the
disease to other herds, the state au-
thorities have prevented children on in
fected farms from attending school.
In other cases, as in Illinois and Ohio,
the state authorities have closed the
stock yards until they can be cleaned
and disinfected.

PoLosKY FINED $50 AND COSTS.
Charged With Striking His Stepson
With Axe Pleads to Assault Charge.

Joseph Polosky, Pleasant Prairie
man, arrested last Saturday afternoon
on a charge of hitting his stepson in
the head with an axe, pleaded guilty
to charges of assault and battery in
the municipal court on Tuesday after
noon and was fined fifty dollars and
costs with an alternative of spending
four months in jail. The man returned
to Jail, but it was declared that his
fine would be paid later The story of
the boy told in court indicated that
the defense made by Polosky that the
injury to the boy was an accident had
some merit. The boy admitted that at
the time he was injured he was running
in the door yard of the Polosky home
and that he slipped and fell and that
his father fell over him and that in
the fall he was struck in the head with
the axe which the father had picked
up minute before. The defeadent
himself expressed great sorrow for the
severe injury of the boy.

Big TRUCK A MASS OF RUINS
Mike Hurrying Back to Racine From
Kenosha Had Sought to Cross the
Tracks in Front of Train Running at
Rate of Sixty Miles an Hour.

William Mike, aged thirty-six years,
employed as driver at the warehouses;
of Armour and Company in Racine, and
widely known among the meat dealers
OF Kenosha, was fatally injured Just.
before five O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
when the big truck in which he was
driving to Racine from Kenosha was
struck by north bound Chicago and
North Western train at the Hanchet
crossing just out of Racine. Mike
was terribly mangled and he died while
being taken to Racine in an ambulance.
Mike had come to Kenosha early
Tuesday morning and had spent the
day making deliveries of meat to the
various markets in Kenosha. Another
truck owned by the company had been
in Kenosha during the day and the two
trucks left for the trip to Racine just
before four o 'clock. Mike was in the
lead and hurrying to get home he was
pushing the big truck along at the best
speed possible. The other truck was
following few rods behind. AS Mike
approached the crossing the north
bound train, which had left Kenosha
just after four o'clock, was coming
from the south at high rate of speed.
1t is thought that Mike, who had al
ways been known as a careful driver,
believed that he had plenty of time
to cross the tracks and he urged his
big raotor truck on, Just as the truck
was in the middle of the tracks the
crash came and portions of the truck
were thrown eighty feet from the rail-
way tracks. Mike bruised and bleed
ing, was picked up some thirty feet
from the tracks. Several automobiles
were standing on the north side of the
track for the train to clear the cross
ing and people in these automobile mar
rowly escaped injury from the flying
debris of the ruined truck. As soon as
possible an ambulance was summoned
from Racine to take Mike to a hospi-
tai, but he died few minutes after the
ambulance had left the scene of the
accident. Women in the automobiles
near the scene tainted when they saw
Mike hurled from the truck.
Mike had been in the employee of
the company for years and he had
made regular trips to Kenosha. To
most of the meat dealers he was
known only as Chip and he was very
popular among the meat men of
Kenosha.

NoWACKI PAYS HIS FINE.
Northsider Convicted of Larceny Pays
Fine Of $25 and the Costs.

The case of the State vs. Cashier
Nowacki, charged with larceny, was
brought to an end in the municipal
court late Tuesday afternoon when
Judge Randall formally imposed fine
of $25 and the costs Of the action on
Nowacki. Before the fine was impos-
ed Nowacki had paid into the court the
sum of $65 which was to be paid to
Andrew Morris, the man from whom
Nowacki was alleged to have secured
the money. Nowacki made no state
ment to the court when he came up for
sentence and there was no suggestion
of an appeal of the case to teh higher
courts. He still insisted that he had
not been guilty of any intended wrong
and believed that he had acted fairly
in taking money from Morris. The of
icials are hopeful that the prosecution
of Nowacki and his conviction will 90
a long ways toward eliminating the ac-
tivities of men who seek to advise
foreigners in court matters and take
money from them for such advice.

TED SULLIVAN HERE.
Man Who Discovered Grand Old Roman
Recalls Sporting Events of Other Days.

Ted Sullivan, baseball expert and the
man who directed the recent world s
tour of the New York Giants and Chi
cago White Sox, was in Kenosha yes
terday visiting the Dayton boys. He is
the man who discovered Chas. A. Com
iskey and started him on his way to be
one of the greatest first sackers the
game has ever known. The two old pals
are of course great friends and their
trip around the world was the main am
bition of their lives. Ted recalls with
much pleasure, a game played at Burl-
ington many years ago against the local
team. He states that one III. A. Cooper
was catching for said Wisconsin town
team and that the now Congressman
Cooper had the nerve to throw him
out twice when he was trying to steal,
something that few professional back
stops could do as he was unusually
fast on the bases. Mr.. Sullivan is now
fifty eight years of age and fine ex-
ample of what athletics and proper
living will do for man.

harmful and does not in any way af-
feet legitimate business. He asserted
that it corrected abuses only, misuse
of authority had been eliminated and
the whole was working out for the best
interest of the nation. He spoke of the
development of foreign trade by the
upbuilding of merchant marine and
he declared that the dreal Of prospect
ty must be based on union of the
manufacturers of the city and the farm
ers of the country in order to bring an
increase of agriculture and CORES
ponding increase in foreign trade.
DR.. Belt spoke of the great oppor-
tunity for this country to develop the
trade with Latin America. He declar-
ed that the hands of Europe were tied
and that there was great opportunity
for the manufacturers of the United
States to evade the great markets of
their own continent and take the trade
which had been usurped by another
continent. He declared that the great
movement was not the work of day
or week, but that it was fully worthy
of the effort that must be expended to
get it. He declared that the people of
the South American countries were
honest and that they had four hundred
years Of civilization behind them. He

problems, including the cost Of living.
He spoke especially of the fact that
the people of today were not content
to eat what their fore fathers ate, but
insisted on the best at all times. He
declared that the packers were not to
blame for the cost of high living, but
the consumers themselves. He showed
conclusively that the increased price
of sugar as due to the tariff was a
bugaboo. He discussed imports and
exports from an intimate inside view.
He urged the manufacturers to study
foreign conditions and adapt them
selves to the foreign idea and take adj
vantage Of the splendid service offered
by the United States He urged every
one to talk "good business as one
of the real remedies for the business
conditions of the present.
