WOULD TESTIFY As EXPERT
Kenosha Man Brings Hope to Lake
County Cattle Owners When He De-
clares That He Holds the Secret Of
guccessful Cure for Disease.

Declaring his willingness to 60 be-
fore Judge Charles Donnelly at Wood
stock next Saturday and give expert
testimony on the possibilities for cure
of the hoof and mouth disease, William
j. Kruger, who resides at 726 Market
street, walked into the offices of Attor-
neys Heydecker & Jorgenson at Wau-
kegan Thursday and asked Attorney
p. H. Jorgenson where he could get
into touch with Mrs. Scott Durand.
Kruger declares that he has secret
remedy which will not only cure the
hoof and mouth disease once it gets
started but will, as well, prevent its
spreading from one herd to another.
Kruger averred he had just recently
returned to this country from Germany
where he had met with great success
with his treatment. From the manner
in which he spoke and from credentials
shown by him Attorney Jorgenson, in
the absence of Master in Chancery Hey
decker addressed letter to Attorney
Hes, representing the Crab Tree Farm,
suggested that Kruger. go to Chicago
to interview the attorney.

MAY ORDER NEW BRIDGE.
Lake County Supervisors Spend Half
Day at the Bad Spot in Road.


About twenty or more members Of
the county board Of Lake county visit
ed the bridge at the kellogg ravine yes
terday afternoon. Bert G. Thompson,
the Zion City member of the board of
supervisors has been an active advocate
of a new bridge and with the co-opera-
ton Of Colonel Aiken, and others, in
fuence has been brought to bear on
the board and something is to be done
at once.
The road near the bridge was found
to be in deplorable condition owing to
the grading which was being done but
which had to be abandoned owing to
the wet weather. The approaches to
the bridge have been widened several
feet, but the bridge itself is positively
dangerous. The masonry on the north
end of the bridge is cracked end brok en-
SO that it looks as if it might fall in at
any time and indeed it is only kept in
position by wooden prop. The bridge
was somewhat wrecked through a cloud
burst which happened about three years
ago and ever since it has been unsafe.
Tt is probable that new bridge will be
ordered.

county exhibitors at the Wisconsin
state fair, is going to be longer this
year than ever before and .Kenosha
people who have visited the exhibit in
the last two days found it decked out
with multi colored ribbons. Nearly
every display made by the county has
won recognition Of some sort and first
prize ribbons are very numerous about
the Kenosha booth. The exhibit Of
work by the children of the Kenosha
city schools has also won much recog-
milton and the children will get more
awards this year than ever before.
The Kenosha county exhibit is prov
ing one of the most popular at the fair
and Joseph Bishop and William Luke,
who are in charge, have been kept busy
greeting visitors. Mr.. and Mrs. Rob

what he was talking about, = Attorney
Jorgenson stated today. HE told me
Of the various places where he had
tried his cure and in every instance he
said he had brought about complete
eradication of the disease
In talking with Attorney Jorgenson,
Kruger gave an interesting account
Of the origin of the hoof and mouth
disease
AS near as can be. found at this
time the man said, 1.-THE disease
which is causing SO much loss in this
country simply because no one seems
to know how to handle it, originated in
Southern Scotland. From there it was
taken to England and became quite
prevalent there and in Wales, where
drastic measures were for time re
sorted to in an effort to stave off it's
inroads on the herds.
From England it got into Germany
and from there was conveyed to
Switzerland, which is the last known
country in Europe to have become a
victim of the plague. It is not really
known how the disease was carried to
this country.
The fact that Mr.. Kreuger is an ex-
pert along this line will probably come
as considerable surprise to his Ke-
nosha friends. Mr.. Kreuger was a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for Sheriff at the last county pri-
mary.

ABANDON TICKET ORDER.
G. & M. r. T. Rescinds Order Demand.
ing Tickets Before Boarding Cars.


IT became known on Friday that the
Chicago &. Milwaukee Electric railroad
had decided to abandon the idea of
enforcing the order to purchase tickets
before entering the cars.
Conductors in the employ of the com
pany, it is said, have been ordered to
take such tickets as are presented, but
not to compel passenger to leave
the car and get tickets.
tsAfter several months of discom-
future to the travelling public the electric
road officials realize the hardship i'm
posed on the public and now they are
willing to be guided by the wishes of
their passengers rather than by the or
der of one of their superintendent y
said one employee of the company.
The enforcing of the rule had not
only been a great inconvenience to the
patrons but has been hazardous, mas
much as it has necessitated patrons
crossing the crowded business streets to
the ticket offices maintained in two
Washington street stores.
The conductors running into Kenosha
did not advise their passengers that
they had received instructions to aban-
don the idea of enforcing them to OBJ
tain tickets before boarding the cars,
but continued to let their patrons
labor under the impression that the rule
was still enforced.

Kenosha School Officials Asked to Send
Exhibit to Safety First Council =
The schools of Kenosha are gaining
renown along a new line and today the
officials Of the schools were invited to
send a display showing work along
tsSafety First lines in the Kenosha
schools to be shown at the National
Public Safety Council to be held at
Philadelphia, Pa, beginning October
10th. Kenosha schools have taken
an advanced position in this work and
the exhibit promises to do much to
advertise the city and the schools. The
exhibit will be prepared at once and
sent forward It will be made up of
safety regulations now posted on the
walls of all the school rooms in Kenosha
and photographs of the actual practical
work of grade children in treatment of
injured members of their classes. This
work has been feature of the city
schools for several years and it is de-
clared that the work done in Kenosha
is serving as a model for that done in
other schools Of the state.

Place to Open Office for Recruits

Army officers from the United

nosha seeking suitable quarters for
the opening Of recruiting station
in Kenosha which will be branch of
the regular recruiting station Of the
government in Milwaukee. It is not
known when the station will be open
ed. Kenosha has always proved a fer
tile field for recruiting for the army
and navy and it is certain that when
the Office is opened here that there will
be considerable number Of young
men who will be ready to enlist for
services in both branches of the mill
tary service of the nation. This will
be the first time that Kenosha has had
a recruiting station since before the

PROMOTE BREEDING

NASHVILLE, CHATTANOOGA &
ST. LOUIS RAILROAD EsTAB.
LIsHES STATION.

The Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railway, through the indus
trial, immigration and agricultural d.
vision of its traffic department, is
this week mailing out an illustrated
booklet announcing to the company's
friends and patrons the establish
ment, on the West Tennessee expe-
riment premises, near Jackson, of a
Percheron breeding stud to be known
|as the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railway Percheron foundation
stud.
A number of young registered Per
Icheron mares and a registered stall
lion have been purchased and placed
in the stud, and their services are
now available to the public. A SINH
lar enterprise has been established
lat the East Tennessee experiment sta
ton by the Holstein National Bank,
Of Knoxville.
The ultimate aim of these worthy
institutions is to encourage and fos-
ter the production Of larger mules
and horses in the state. Heretofore
Tennessee's large mules have come
from other states az weanlings and
Iyearlings; but these breeding estab-
lishments will result in supplying the
demand for large horses and mules
in the state from Tennessee soil.
The incentive to create these breed
ing studs by the Nashville, Chatta,
nooga & ST. Louis Railway and the
Holston National Bank was prompted
not only by desire to encourage the
production here of the type Of mules
and horses needed in Tennessee, but
with a true conception of the inti-
mate relationship between live stock
and agriculture, and with the view of
stimulating greater interest in i'm
proved methods in everything that
pertains to progressive agriculture.

eral agent, Nashville, to $4,000 farm.

Through the work of the Guided

by the assistance of the city of Co

Dale Grain 6 Coal Co. a full car load
OF coal of 1000 bushels has been re-
eived here for distribution among
the needy and destitute people of Co
lumbia. The city paid half of the,
cost of the coal and the charity COM
mittee of the Guided Circle, of which
Ars. w. Luther McAdams is the ef-
cient and hard WORKING chairman,
contributed the funds to pay for half
the cost. Mr.. Dale secured the coal
at actual mine cost in Kentucky and
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad
generously donated all Of the freight
This coal will be used for the poor
and needy, if any of it is used at the
Kings Daughters hospital 1t will be
simply for the benefit of the charity
wards.
Mrs McAdams also reports on Dec.
81, last, the receipt Of 81 in cash
from a friend for the charity funs,
the last sum received. She also re-
ports two ami one-quarter barrels Of
flour donated by the Belgian commit
tee, beirg that much over the car
load of -four sent to the relief of the
Belgians. One barrel of this In wood
will be used for the charity wards Of
the hospital, and the remaining one
and a quarter barrels in twenty-four
pound sacks, will be distributed
among the poor of the city. Some
idea of the cost Of the charity wards
of the hospital can be obtained when
it is stated that it requires from s1.5e
to $1.S5 per day for each patient
therein and there are now four pa
tients in the charity wards.

Questions will be raised in the suits

The constitution forbids the enact

sequent censuses of the United States
have a similar population will not be

the act in question the population
qualification was followed, but this
was not done in the proclamation Of
Gov. Hooper and it is the insistence
of those attacking the law that the
proclamation of the governor being

therefore the act must fail.
