INJURED DOG BITES POLICEMAN.
Henry Feldschau Has Hand Lacerated
While Seeking to Aid Injured Dog,

Henry Feldschau of the Kenosha
police department had his left hand
badly lacerated by a dog this morning
and he was so severely injured that he
Is under the care of a physician. The
dog had been run down by an automo-
bile on West Prairie avenue and the
police department was notified to send
a man to kill it. When Officer Field
schau reached the scene of the accident
the animal appeared to be dead and he
took hold of it. Just as he caught
hold of it the dog shot up it's head and
planted its teeth in the officer S hand.
There is no reason to believe that the
dog was suffering from rabies, but the
police officer is using great care in
treating the bad wounds in his hand.
Before he went to the surgeon he lat
the dog out of his misery with a re-
volver shot. The owner of the dog is
unknown.

GIVE ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT
Cost of Cake and Bon Bons to go into
Missionary Box to Aid in Suffrage
Movement Throughout Nationally
to be Held to Hear Results of Savings

Kenosha suffragists are already max
ing suggestions and perfecting plans
for Self Denial Suffrage day, August
Is. Indeed Kenosha is largely respon.
sib1e for the fact that suffragists
throughout the country are all intent
upon raising a generous offering for
the seven campaign states where a suf.
frage amendment will be voted on
this November. At the suffrage school
in Madison last month the Kenosha
women who attended, had the pleasure
of meeting Mrs. Desha Breckenridge, a
member of the board of the National
Woman's Suffrage Association. To
her they suggested the idea of another
national suffrage celebration similar to
May second, for the object Of raising
money for campaign states.
She promised to urge the matter at
the board meeting the following week,
with the result that August Is has been
announced through the press as SUI.
frage Self Denial Day.
Kenosha suffragists therefore feel il
is up to them to give the movement
enthusiastic support. Clever sugges-
tions of various ways of setf-denial are
already in the air. Afternoon teas
may be served with only tea and
waters, price of cake and bonbons to
GO into the suffrage missionary box
bridge parties may be given without
prizes, a simple bouquet from hostess
own garden making graceful favor
for the winner of the highest score.
Letters instead of long distance tele-
phones is the suggestion of one woman
who acknowledges she is lazy In this
respect.
One enthusiast has renowned buying
even one new summer gown this year
and Kenosha society is invited to
guess which one of its members appears
this season only in 1913 costumes.
There will of course be rally prob.
ably in the form of garden party on
August 18th to report the results of
this self denial campaign, and all mem
bers and friends of the Kenosha County
Equal Suffrage League are invited to
save that date and their dimes for that
occasion.

WOULD CUT DOWN EXPENSES
Experience as Speaker of Assembly En-
ables Mr.. Hull to Judge of the Ne
cessity of Retrenchment and Where
Expenses Can Be Cut.

Merlin Hull of Black River Falls,
speaker of the assembly in the last leg
islature and candidate for governor in
the coming primaries, came to Kenosha
this morning to look after his political
fences in this section and spent the day
consulting with Kenosha county repub-
licans. Mr.. Hull has many friends in
this county and he will undoubtedly
poll heavy vote. In discussing his
candidacy Mr.. Hull said:
II am meeting with great encourage
ment in my canvass wherever l go.
In fact, | have met with very little
discouragement. The past few weeks
[ have been busy in western Wiscon-
sin, returning to my home at Black
River Falls occasionally to reply to the
many letters which I have received. [
have been invited to address numerous
conventions, old settlers reunions,
picnies, ETC., and in filing those en-
gagements / have met many voters who
have assured me Of their good will and
support | am doing what can to get
my views on public questions before
the voters and wherever I have been
given hearing there has been an ex-
cellent response from the people.
''I do not claim to be much of a
politician, and / have not the extensive
acquaintance with the politicians over
the state which some of my opponents
have, so I am going direct to the people
with nay canvass. Ny stand on the is
sues of this campaign is in line with
my record in the legislature, and in adj
voeating economy and the elimination
of extravaganza l am simply follow
ing the same policy which ! pursued as
a member of the legislature.
3EThe people of the state are losing
none of their interest in the principal
issue-that of a reduction of state ex-
penses, and they are going to see to it
that there is reduction made. That it
can be done without impairing govern
mental efficiency is beyond question.
By consolidation of some departments
anu a2ObuS10. C164 uuHlU6I
of Offices and ofice-holders can be ma
terially reduced. A large. reduction
should also be made in the
amounts appropriated for land pur-
chases and new buildings, which have
been excessive.
II have my headquarters in my
printing Office at Black River Falls. and
my campaign is being carried on very
largely with the aid of my friends. I
also greatly appreciate the assistance
which has been rendered by the press
in getting my views to the people.
This is my first visit to Kenosha,
and is mainly to look the ground over,
[ expect to return later to spend some
time in the city and county. I am
much pleased with the numerous assur-
ances of support which l have received
here

The order for the administration of
the holy communion could be made
over so that there would be no suspi-
cion that the bread and wine readily
become the body and blood of Christ,
or that there is anything in the nature
of a sacrifice in this rite. The word
! altar should of course be stricken
out wherever found. The order that
the people should devoutly kneel when
they received holy communion should
be omitted, as it encourages a belief
in the real presence. The rubrics re
quiring all notices 20 be given out after
the Nicene creed and the sermon to
be preached at this time should be
transferred to the Office of morning
prayer, as in their present position
they imply that the holy communion
should be the chief parochial act of
worship at which the whole congrega-
ton should be present. The rubric

are confirmed or ready and DESTROYS to

of st. John might be dropped out al

The epistles of ST. Paul would also need
rather vigorous revision. Thus we
should have Bible in harmony with
the new prayer book and the new
creed. A table of lessons could be
drawn up for use in the new church,
which would not need frequent revi-

SERVICE IS BETTER.
CiviIs Service Board has Worked Won
ders III Improving Rural Routes.

ASIA matter of course, the applica-
ton of civil service rules to fourth
class postmasterships into the United
States has improved the rural postal
service; but as a matter of fact, the
rural postal service of the country has
been improving for the last fifty years.
Within shorter period than this, the
entire system has been practically
revolutionized. Growth is characaer-
istic of all undertakings in this nation,
but seldom has it been more pro-
nouneed than in the development of
the rural free delivery service. Seven
teen years ago there were forty-four
rural routes in all the country. In
1898 the number was only las; two
years later it had grown to 1876; in
1906, when the service as we know it
today was ten years old, the number of
routes had increased to 1886; in 1913,
the number was 42,6S3. In 1898,
$49, 999.71 covered the total expense
of rural free delivery; the cost was
s45,66S, o71.62 last year.
About fifty million people are served
directly or Indirectly by the rural pos
tai system. At the cose of the fiscal
year of 1913, there were S,406 presi-
Dental postmasterships in the United
States and 1854 fourth class postmas-
terships. The relation of the latter to
the rural population may be easily de-
termined by these figures, as it will be
possible to conjecture, without delving
too deeply into statistics, from the cost
of the rural service, how great a pro-
portion of the mail must at one time or
another come under their jurisdiction.
1t is often the case that fourth-class
postmasters are under-compensated for
the time and labor they must give the
government, and occasionally there are
instances in which they refuse to serve
longer for the pay allowed. The public
hears now and then, also, of the incum-
bency of some unfit rural postmaster.
But when it is considered that this
service stretches up and down and
ramifes every corner of it, neglecting
neither the isolated nor the remote, it
is one of the marvels of our time that
mail matter originated in or destined
for fourth-class postofiees is so care
fully and SO efficiently handled.
Civil service rules applied more
strictly may assist in the wedding out
of the small percentage of rural post
masters who are unworthy Of the trust
but the average of faithfulness and
ability in this force was high before
the civil service law was enacted and
it will doubtless. remain high for pure
ly native reason, regardless of the
strictness or laxity with which the
civila service rules can or may be ap-
plieds Generally speaking, the country
postmaster is typical of the best to be
found in the democratic citizenship of
the United States.

Prohibitionists in Wisconsin
Seeking to Get Heads
Above Water Again.
NO ANTICIPATION OF VICTORY

From present indications the prohibi-
ton party. is planning to be more ac
tive in the state of Wisconsin this fall
than it has been before in many years
and the prospects now are that the
party will make a very active cam
pa1gn in the state this year and that
number of speakers will be brought
here from outside.
The leaders of the party do not
claim they have any great anticipations
OF immediate results from the campaig n
but they do believe the fight which is
made now will show results in the
future, and that a sentiment will be
created in the state which will event
ually aid the prohibition party in its
aims. One of the results which, how
ever, the prohibition party does hope
for IN the near future from it's work
is the creation of dry spots in cities
through the use of the limited district
law which will permit of the voting
on the local option question within
limited districts in cities.
This is the law which will permit of
votes being taken in specified resi-
dence districts on the question as to
whether saloons shall be permitted
within the districts. Plans for having
votes taken in certain districts in Mil
waukee have already been formulated
and it is said the law will also be call.
ed into operation to aid the situation
from prohibition standpoint in other
cities of the state. In fact, a number
of elections under the limited district
law may be called in various cities of
the state next spring. One of the dis
tricts in Milwaukee in which it is pro-
posed to have an election under the
limited district law is the residence
district of the seventeenth ward.
