The water company was, before June

being done to the same end, as already
reported in TIRE AMERICAN. The filter
was cleaned out and renewed, and the

thoroughly cleaned out and repaired.

The statement that the trouble is OF

Ellsworth Team Won Two Games at
wyman Park Last Week.
The Ellsworth baseball team play ed two
games at Wyman park last week. winning
both.
The first game, played with Sullivan.
was daylight-saving game, started
shortly before 6 O'Clock. 1t was a some
what weird exhibition of baseball, with
batting and run-getting, kicks at the
umpire from both sides a-plenty, exciting
infield arguments between all the men of
both teams and many OF the spectators,
and some side bets pending the arrival of
a rule book to determine the disputed
points. Ellsworth finally won by score
OF l5-1S. The score by innings follows:
/ 2 8 4 5 7 So
Sullivan 0 0 0 0 0-13
Ellsworth 0 Al 8 4 / x-15
The second game, played Saturday after
noon with Bluehill, was more like base
ball, with some good work on both sides.
Jordan and Linnehan, the Ellsworth bat
terry, had little the better OF Bluehill
battery, and both pitchers received good
neiding support. Trafton, who went in
to pitch for Bluehili in the seventh inning
made one OF the prettiest plays of the
game, stopping hot line fly and doubl-I
ing up man on bases. A decision OF the
umpire in the eighth inning caused some
dissatisfaction to the visitors. Shea OF
Ellsworth ran back to take a high fly in
short left field. The ball bounded from
his glove, but he scooped it up before it
touched the ground. Shea says the ball
did not touch the ground, and the UNI
pire so saw it at the time, but to a ma
jority OF the spectators it looked as if the
ball was scooped up on short bound
from the ground. The score by innings
follows:

Foreman of Switching Crew
For Northwestern Arrest
ed By Local Police
Thursday Night.
MARY CARS WERE OPENED
Police Are Ordered To Make Hourly
Search of Railway Yards In Effort
TO End Carnival of Car
Thievery IN Kenosha.

The inner sanctum of the police Office
looked like a first class tobacco store
this morning following the arrest of
Richard T. Harwell, a switching fore
man employed by the Chicago & North
Western Railway company and the
Selling of his vast quantity of cigar
cites at his room in the Garfield House.
Harwell is held on charges of burg
larry and it is alleged that the cigarets
taken from him were stolen from car
in the yards of the company here.
Two great boxes Of the cigarettes,
almost enough to take care Of the de-
mands of a regiment of soldiers, were
found at the Harwell room and it was
said that a third box of them had been
disposed of among friends of the
switching foreman.
Orders Yards Patrolled.
With the arrest Of Harwell, the chief
of police, who with Charles Rock, made
the arrest, ordered the men who travel
near the railway yards to make a search
of the yards every night and arrest all
boys who may be found prowling about
the yards and to take into custody all
Migrants and suspicious characters.
The arrest Of HarWell followed com
plants of frequent robberies of cars in
the yards of the company here and it is
declared that the thieves have secured
a considerable amount of merchandise
Of various kinds. In addition to the
booty recovered in the arrest Of Har-
we'll, the company is said to have had
heavy losses in stockings taken from
cars. Other losses enumerated included
two tubs of butter.

The above rules, if lived up to, will
keep your body fit, according to pic
ture and word posters exhibited by
Miss Laura Hahn at the Parent-Teach-
er Association meeting at the Columbus
school Thursday afternoon.
Miss Hahn spoke on Neglected, De
pendent and Delinquent Children. =
Her lecture was very interesting, due
to the fact that she had at least two
dozen posters, which told, in pictures
and words, of the dangers, causes and
remedies of venereal diseases, which,
after all, are the cause of neglected, de-
pendent and delinquent childrn. In her
talk Miss Hahn told of the thousands
of men who were found unfit for ser
vice in Uncle Sam s forces; of the
great expense to the state in caring
for the various forms of insanity; of
the state aid to widowed mothers that
they might rear their children carefully
and eventually land in the reform
schools; and Of The clinics which are
being established to combat diseases.
She said that Kenosha is soon to have
one of these clinics and that its sue
cess will depend on public opinion and
that it is up to Kenoshans to give it
every support for innocent as well as
guilty sufferers from these diseases.
Pupils Give Program.
The remainder of the program was
furnished by the pupils OF the school.
The Misses Clara Koelner and Ruth
Ostlund gave a delightful piano duet.
The girls of the Sixth B grade sang
two songs; the last number, Lovely
Night, without the accompaniment of
music Miss Ruth Ostlund made her
second appearance on the program
when she played q piano solo. The
Memory Gems by the pupils of the
sixth A grade were something novel;
one Of the boys called on the various
members Of the class to give certain
gems which had been committed to
memory and the responses were very
interesting. The program was conclud-
ed with "A Trip to the Moon, sung
by the girls of the Fifth B grade.
