EQUALS WORLDS RECORD.

Joe Loomis, former Kenosha high
school athlete and now attached to the
team of the Chicago Athletic Assoeia-
ton, Chicago, broke into the world s
champion class in Chicago on Saturday
afternoon when in the 100 yard dash
he made the distance in Ii As seconds,
equalling the world Is record for the
distance. The performance of Loomis
was wonderful ON account of the fact
that the track on which the race was
run was decidedly heavy one. 1t
was declared to be easily two seconds
slower than under ordinary conditions.
Loomis took the race from one of the
classiest fields ever seen in an athletic
meet in the west. Just to show his YER
satility as an athlete he went out later
III the afternoon and won the high
jump with a record of feet 10 inches.
LOOMS is regarded as one of the great
est athletes in the country today. He
got all of his early training at the Ke-
nosha High School, but since leaving
Kenosha he has won honors under
many flags.

SAD END OF AUTTING PARTY
Boy Had Been Cracking Nuts Along
the Railway Tracks and Companions
Did Not See How He Met Injury
Accident Most Unusual One.

Holger Tanck twelve years old and
son of Julius Tanck, blacksmith re-
siding at SIS Pearl street, met awful
injuries in a railway accident at the
Rategan road crossing of the Chicago
and North Western road at the west
limits of the city just after three
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The right
foot of the boy was crushed under the
wheels of freight train and his in
Juries were of such a nature that it
as found necessary to amputate the
foot at the ankle. Neither the boy nor
his companions who were with him
could tell just how the accident hap
pened. Tanck was playing along the
track half block west of the street
crossing and in some unexplained man
ner he got his foot under the wheel of
one of the cars
The injury of the little boy came
as the tragic ending of merry nutting
expedition among number Of the boys
from the section of the city in which
he lived. His brother Sewer Tanck,
George Nelson, Arthur Bloxdorf, Walter
Larsen and S. Berg were the other
members of the party. They had left
the city just after noon on Saturday
and had been looking for the early
crop of hickory nuts. The boys had
picked up a few nuts under the trees
along the road and young Tanck walk
ed along the track from the road and
had been cracking nuts OH a tie. His
companions were only a short distance
from him and when the freight train
came from the east they lodged out
of the way. The Tanckl boy seemed to
be far enough away from the tracks
to be out of danger. The trainmen saw
the boy playing along the track but
he did not appear to be in any danger
and they paid no attention to him. A
minute later his companions heard him
cry out and when they reached him
they found that his right foot had been
terribly mangled. The city ambulance
was called and the injured boy was
hurried to the Kenosha hospital and
three physicians were called to attend
him. His foot was so badly crushed
that there was no chance to save it.
Young Tanck is one of the most pop
ular boys in his neighborhood and his
terrible injury has cast a pail over the
entire neighborhood. At the hospital
this morning it was declared that the
boy was resting as easily as could be
expected and his recovery seems to
be certain.

KENosHA JoKERs AT wAUKEGAN
Lake County Officials Called Out to Is
sue Marriage License, Parties BaIk.

Practical Jokers working out of Keno
sha got couple of people well known
IN Kenosha INFO all sorts of trouble
down at Waukegan last Saturday
morning when a Waukegan justice was
called ou- of bed just after one clock
with the understanding that he was
to othciate at the marriage of a Racine
attorney and a Kenosha young woman.
The two had been members cf a merry
party which had left Kenosha in an au-
tomobIle along about midnight and as
they reached Waukegan one of the men
challenged another to marry a young
woman who was member Of the party.
He asserted that he was game and
when Waukegan was reached the friend
started things. He not only got the
justice out of bed but also called out
the clerk of the court who was in
charge of the marriage license bureau.
When it came time to fill in the names
of the parties to be married the man
from Racine withdrew in disorder and
the license was not issued and the
sleepy Waukegan officials returned to
bed. It was a good joke all right, but
the Waukegan men are still protesting
that they failed to see the point of it.

SOME FREAKS OF GRATITUDE
Woman Found She Had Promised
Lsrger Reward Than She Could Be-
stow-Youns Mans Railroad Pass.

At New York subway station re-
Gently a woman lost a $500 diamond
ring, which was duly restored to her
upon the advertised promise to pay
the finder a reward of 5000 When the
ring was taken to the owner by the
finder she found that she had prom
ised more than she could fulfill with
cash. So she had TO pawn the ring to
make good.
This is not by any means solitary
case of odd reoompensing incidents. A
few months ago Philadelphia woman
lost a pet dog. She advertised for
two weeks daily, offering sum out Of
all proportion to the worth of the ami
NAL according to current dog rates.
Her pet was brought to her door one
morning and the reward claimed be-
fore delivery. She was unable to pay
and was in tears when the finder re-
fused to accept her promise to pay
later as reason enough for leaving the
dog.
A compromise was reached at last
She signed paper relinquishing all
rights to the dog for period of six
months. The animals temporary own
er entered him in every dog show
within a radius OF thousand miles
and was reported to have made tidy
sum in prizes.
The daughter of Western railroad
president was boating on Lake Michi-
gan last season, when, in exchanging
seats there was an upset, and she was
in peril for time. A young fellow
jumped from a nearby launch and res
cued her. Her father effusively
thanked the rescuer and asked him
how much cash he might have the
privilege of bestowing upon such a
brave man.
The young fellow Indignantly re-
fused to consider the value of his seFv-
Ice in dollars and cents. When pressed
to name some other reward he finally
made it known that he'd sighed for a
pass on the presidents railroad all his
young life. He would take an annual
pass, but that was all. When the pres
ident explained that it was not lawful
to issue him one, he just said: "AlI
right, good-by," and started off. But
the president induced him to come
back, and found a way out of the diff
Guilty by giving him q job on the rail-
road in order that he might lawfully
use pass.

tuberculosis In EaYpt.

Modern research has established the
fact that tuberculosis, both OF lungs
and bones, was common in ancient
Egypt more than 1900 years ago.
Not even in diseases, apparently, Is
there any new thing under the sun.
There are grounds for believing that
the ancient Pharaohs suffered from
malaria, and had appendicitis now and
then, and their instruments prove that
most ailments Of the eye known to
the oculists Of today devastated the
banks OF the Nile twenty centuries be-
fore the birth Of Christ.
Where the modern world may claim
novelty Is in the successful treatment
of disorders which our ancestors were
obliged to endure.

HoLsTE1N BREEDERS ORGANIZE.
Racine-Kenosha County Organization is
Formed at Meeting in Bristol.

An organization of the breeders of
Holstein cattle in Racine and Kenosha
counties was effected at meeting held
at the town hall in Bristol on Saturday
afternoon and twentyseven breeders of
Kenosha county signed the charter roll
of the organization. Another meeting
will be held in about two weeks and it
is thought that at that tIae the list
will be increased by the names of
many breeders from Racine and Keno
sha counties. A number of men
prominent the cattle world were
present at the Bristol meeting and
spoke to the breeders Of the value of
organization. Officers of the new asso-
citation were elected a1d efforts will be
made at once to secure as members
every breeder of Holstein cattle in the
two counties. The inter county or
ganization will be affiliated with the
national organization. Breeders of
Holsteins are very numerous in thAs
section Of the state and it is thought
that the new organization will prove a
great help to the farmers.

Monument TO a Woman.

There has just been erected at
Bieyres, France, a monument COM
memorative of the patriotic spirit and
services of Mile. Dodu, telegraph OPP
orator, who, after receiving a modest
recompense following the war of 1870,
obtained some years later the military
medal and afterward the cross Of the
Legion of Honor. Now Al years hav-
ing elapsed since the war, it is denied
that she was entitled to these honors.
One Of the alleged services was that to
save capture by the Germans she hid
the Morse telegraphic apparatus be-
tween the. two mattresses Of a bed
ridden neighbor, but it is denied that
she was ever taken before a council of
war and condemned by German tri-
bunal. 1t is even said that the whole
dramatic story was invented by NJ.
Vfllemessant, a journalist, on the bor-
der Of Lake Enghein, to which place
the young telagraphist had been sent
after the war. But Mile. Juliette Dodu,
thanks to the journalist, had sub
stantial recognition while living and
now her name Is In large relief on a

officer of all the Kenosha army men, is
off for the Philippine Islands and
within few weeks he will join his

command of the Kenosha army officer
since he was raised to the rank of

many at war in the far east it is not
improbable that the Philippines viii be
the scene of lot of agitation if not
actual warfare and should the United
States be drawn into the European
war troubles the Philippines will be one
of the first places in which the effect

that Major Symmonds will remain in

Old Scotch Church Of ketwIntno.


One hundred years ago the remark
able steeple of Kelwining church, in
Scotland, collapsed and fell to the
ground, fortunately without iniuring
any person. For several centuries the
Keiwining church, or abbey, had been
regarded as one of the architectural
gems of Scotland and its steeple was
remarkable both for it's height and it's
artistic design. The church dated
beck to about the middle OF the
twelfth century. In 1860 the edifice
suffered considerable damage at the
hands Of jealous reformers, who, fred
by the sermons Of John Knox, plum
dered and laid in ruins many Of the
abbeys and monasteries throughout
Scotland. These acts of vandalism
formed part Of their campaign to
supplant Roman Catholicism by
Professionalism, which they finally sue
ceeded in bringing about through an
act Of parliament passed in 1867.
