co M ANY WINS
INCREASED FARES
Commission Gets No Pro.
test Against Petition for
Proposed Increase.
BE EFFECTIVE SOON

An informal statement has. been CIV
en- out at Madison that the Wisconsin
railroad commission will in the near
future give out an order granting to
the Chicago, North Shore and Milwau-
kee Electric Railway company the right
to increase its rates for traffic in Wis
consin. The hearing on the proposed
change in rate was set for Madison
on Wednesday and adjourned until
Friday but on neither of the dates did
the representatives of any of the cities
pear to make a protest against the
proposed change in rates. 1t is ex-
pected that the commission will grant
the company the rate proposed in it's
petition. This would be a rate of 27
cents per mile. The same rate is to be
made effective in the state of Illinois
and it is expected that it will be eff
fective by the first Of August.
Before Interstate Too.
The petition of the company for an
increased traffic rate is also pending
before the interstate commission but
action by the Wisconsin commission
will give the company the right to put
the new rate into use in Wisconsin
1t was declared by the leaders in the
various cities in Wisconsin that the
service furnished by the company JUS
tilted the new rate. The new ticket
rate between Kenosha and Milwaukee
will be 80 cents whereas at the present
time it is SO cents. The new rate for
cash fares paid on the cars between
Milwaukee and Kenosha will be $101
1t will be impossible to announce what
the rate between Kenosha and cities
to the south will be until after the
interstate commerce commission has
acted.

VICTIM OF THUGS
DAZED BY DUCKING
Mayor of Wittenburg Found Aimlessly
Roaming Streets After Near
Fatal Experience.
by United Press.l

by United Press.l
Milwaukee.-After having been as
saulted, robbed, and thrown into Lake
Michigan, by "a friend" and his ac-
completes, Henry Schuyler, SO years
old, mayor of Wittenburg, Wisconsin,
was found wandering aimlessly about
the streets of Milwaukee by policemen
early today. At the hospital to which
he was taken by patrolmen he said he
had been assaulted by prominent
Milwaukee man and a band of thugs
who "beat him up, took his money, and
threw him into Lake Michigan" Mayor
Schuyler is not as yet able to talk con-
nectedly of his experience but has Civ
en- out fragmentary interviews which
indicate that he narrowly escaped
death in the lake. After he had been
thrown into the water by his assailants
he sank twice before he finally caught
hold of pier and pulled himself to
safety. Exhausted by this supreme eff
fort he lay shivering on the pier for
more than an hour before he began
his aimless tour of darkened streets,
which ended at the police station and
the hospital where he is now receiving
treatment for brain-fever

FOrger Fails to
Cheat KenOshan
Uncle Sam Makes Good the Soldier
Bonus Check of Joseph Kemmen
Forged Several Weeks Ago.

Joseph Kemmen, Kenosha ex-soI-
der, living at 858 Dayton street, is not
going to be cheated out of the $50
bonus granted all men at the time Of
discharge from the service, because
some forger rifled his mail and forged
the bonus check. That Uncle Sam was
ready to make good was. evidenced this
morning when Congressman Clifford
E. Randall received a substitute check
for the Kenosha soldier.
The case is one of the most inter
esting of soldier bonus cases ever in
yestigated here. Kemmen, in the reg
ular routes made application for the
bonus and check was sent to him at
his boarding house, on Engel street.
When he failed to call for the letter,
as he had changed his boarding place,
someone opened the letter took out the
check and resealed it and sent it on
to his new address. The matter was
referred to the local Red Cross,
through whose services coupled with
those of Congressman Randall, secur-
ed the issuance of the check.
The original check was cashed by the
forger but his signature was in no
way similar to that of the local SOL
der. In order to secure the substitute
check, Kemmen gave an indemnity
bond. The government in issuing the
second check intimated that an at
tempt would be made to follow up the
case and punish the man who attempt
ed to steal from a soldier his addi-
tional compensation.

in Its W ar on Vice
Statistics Show that Statewide Work
Has Reduced the Prevalence of
Social Diseases.

Madison, Wis.-The results of the
states endeavors to check the. ravages
of social disease are revealed in the
report of the fiscal years work OF
the bureau of social hygiene, render
ed to the state board of health. Dur
ing the year ending July l., 1882 cases
had been reported by physicians, as
required by law. The physicians re-
ported back 2,375 cases as cured.
"This figure is worthy CT notice,
says the report. at shows that a
large proportion of the physicians re-
porting are carrying out the full in
tent and purpose of our law 1t shows
that this large number of venereal
disease patients have been held until
the physicians have satisfied them
selves that the individuals were cur
ed. 1t shows that there are over TO-
900 people in our state who have been
made to realize the seriousness Of a
venerea1 disease and the necessity of
remaining under treatment until
cured"
Fourteen clinics have been establish
ed where INDECENT cases may receive
treatment free. In seven the state
maintains social workers who do fol-
lowup work. Another worker is en-
ployed in Milwaukee in cooperation
with the four clinics established by
the city. The states clinics and
workers are at Superior, Madison, Osh-
Kosh, GAINESVILLE, Lacrosse, Green Bay
and Kenosha. In the IA clinics A.
83 treatments were given.
The bureau receives some 800 re-
quests monthly for pamphlets, and
has distributed 212,15z pamphlets in
the year. Fifty-five counties were Wis
tied by the bureaus speakers. One
day programs were given 100 times in
cities of 10000 and over, and 242 times
in communities under 10000. The
lecturers gave Ats lectures with to-
tai attendance of 51,45O, and 523 film
showings with an attendance of Ga

at fairs and in keeping Fit" cam
paigns with Y. M. G.. AS and high
