The American people have rea-
son to congratulate themselves
over at least one achievement, and
that is the rapid disappearance of
fourth of July tetanus. While the
total casualties of the glorious day
are less than a quarter what they
were FIVE years ago the deaths from
tetanus have shown a much great
er reduction. In 1908 there were
All fourth of July victims of that
dread malady, in 1909 the number
had been reduced to $50, while
from last season s celebration there
were but 3. This is life conserva-
tion in the true sense of the term.
Why not entirely eliminate the
disease this Year," asks the United
States Public health service.
The blank cartridge wound is
the great cause of fourth of July
tetanus. When driven into the
tissues the wadding carries with it
innumerable bacilli, and the absorp-
ton of the poisonous products
going on during the growth of
these organisms produces the dis
ease. The bacilli thrive only in
the absence of oxygen. 1t is for
this reason that the physician en-
larges the wound of inlet and after
removing ali foreign material,
dresses the injury in such a man
ner that development of organisms
is inhibited. In order to accomp-
lish that it is usually necessary to
administer a general anaesthetic.
Anti-tetanic serum is of great value
as a prophylactic measure, but it
should be given soon after the re-
ceipt of the injury.
Parents should realize that fourth
of July tetanus is easy to prevent
but extremely difficult to cure. No
blank cartridge wound is too trivial
to receive careful medical attention.
However slight the injury may APP
pear, summon a physician and at
once adopt energetic measures.
Reliance upon home treatment
may prove disastrous and result in
the sacrifice of life.
In 1908, before the widespread
recognition of the possibilities of
preventive treatment, one case of
tetanus developed to every four
blank cartridge wound reported;
in 1914, there was one case to every
40 such injuries. This is the mea
sure of the success of preventive
treatment.

In 1911. writes Mr.. Lee, the struggle
between the Democrats and the Fed

was extremely bitter. The Democrats
had elected Elbridge Gerry governor
and had carried both houses Of the
legislature. To retain this supremacy
they remapped the senatorial districts
and divided the power OF their political
adversaries by paying no attention to
county boundaries. In Essex county
the relation OF the district to the town
was most absurd. and map Of the
county thus laid out hung IN the office
of the Massachusetts Sentinel.
One day as Stuart gazed at the map
he remarked that the towns AZ they
had been assembled looked like some

ARousING OPPOSITION .

The alarm that sounded from Madi-
son this week of perils that confront
ed the efforts for certain bills, were
to be expected. The general policy
of this long legislative session has,
from the start, been first to arouse as
many possible elements of opposition
as could be stirred up with a sharp
stick. Instead of cutting appropri-
atoms as a definite step toward ecOno-
my, and letting the result demonstrate
the possibilities of economy, an effort
has been made, certain from the be-
ginning to prove abortive, to reorganiZe
the whole ramshackle machinery of
the state, before anybody is able to
catalogue the exciting parts, and at
tempt new experiments of wholly new
theories, before those proposing them

news from Madison is not reassuring.
One well posted and experienced man
who started out warmly TO back Gov

the administration forces are without

doesn't take anybody s advice and no

much of truth there may be in such
statements, it is evident, even at this
distance, that the administration pro-
gram is floundering and likely TO be
hamstrung or amended out of all
shape The best thing now likely to
happen, and that is bad enough, is a
prolonged and wrangling session,
with the Governor hanging appropri-

of mean and bad-tempered conflict.

goes to show that there were two "On

About 800 worth of the goods stolen
were discovered late Thursday afternoon
by William Klatt, the Dine-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Klatt, Nashota

dental. The lad, with other children,
was playing on the dump between Third

cealed with covering of straw and
other litter. The fur coat lay beside the
suit case. The lad notified his parents,
who in turn notified the police depart

closed the fact that one of the new suits
was missing. an old suit being there
instead. Several articles were found
that were not known to have been taken
from the store. 1t is thought that three
suits were taken, as tags for that num-
ber were found on the floor Among the
goods found was a box of collars, a box
of silk sOX, pair of fur mittens and
several neckties, Three years ago the
Schempf store was robbed of goods of
the same value, but were for most part

CALLS Mr..
MICHAEL CARROLL
Pioneer Resident Died SATURDAY.
at the Age Of 79 YedrS-He
Came Here in 1914.

Although it had been known that he
was in falling health, the death of Mich
ael Carroll on Saturday afternoon came
as a shock to his many friends in Water
town, Dodge and Jefferson counties.
The end came at his late residence, 1O1
Church street He was taken with heart
trouble about six months ago.
Mr.. Carroll was native of New York
state and was born on Feb. 2, 1889. He
was pioneer in this section, having
come to Wisconsin in 1914, settling on
farm in the town of Emmett, Dodge
county, where he lived for several
years. In 1858. Mr.. Carroll was united
in marriage to Miss Mary Burke, who
passed .away in 1877. To the union
there were two sons and one daughter
Michael Carroll, who died at the age
of twenty-five years; Alice, Mrs. John
T. Ryan, who died May II, 1898, and
John, who died at the age of seven
years.
In 1881, Mr.. Carroll removed to Rich
wood, remaining there for two years,
when he again removed to Watertown
in 1883, residing here until his death.
For two years he was associated with
Ed. Masterson and his son in the real
estate business in Grand Forks, n D.
Later he conducted a book store in this
city for several years.
Mr.. Carroll was member of st Ber-
nard's Catholic church, with which he
had been identified for many years. He
was of a strong Christian character and
was highly esteemed by all who knew
him. He was man of a retiring dis
position and never sought political hon
ors. Mr.. Carroll enjoyed wide ac-
quaintance and was perhaps as well
known as any man in this section.
The funeral took place this morning
at 9 o'clock at ST. Bernard's church,
there being very large attendance al
the last sad rites. Interment was in
St. Bernard's cemetery.
