CITY CAN OWN ITS LINE.
Proposition Made to Kenosha Council by
BeIOit Parties.

Kenosha, Wis, Jan. 24.-[Special.l-
New developments came to light today
in regard to the proposed electric road
from South Milwaukee to the state line,
a few miles below this city. 1t has
been claimed right along that the city
council of Kenosha was the only bar
to the plan being successfully carried
out. 1t leaked out this morning that
the city has another proposition under
consideration. w. III. Wheeler & Co.
Df Beloit, who put in the waterworks
system in this city, has made an offer to
the council to put in street car system
and give the city the privilege of con-
trolling the line and also the lighting
Of the streets by electricity. The plan
is favored by the business men here as
they We're well pleased with the manner
i'll which Mr.. Wheeler built the water
works. It is argued that the new com
pany which wants to- build the line from
South Milwaukee can secure a lease of
the lines in this city from the council
and thereby have a through route to the
state line. This proposition will in all
probability be made to the projectors Of
the company which wants an exclusive
franchise here

DR.. MARKS REELECTED.
Chosen President of the State Board of
Health.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 24.-[Special1-
The state board of health has placed
membraneOuS Group in the same cate
CORY as diphtheria in the list of cOnta-
glouS diseases, and it will hereafter be
subject to the same sanitary regulations,
including quarantine, etc. The members
of the board say there is really very little
distinction between the two diseases,
and that where one or more members OF
family are afflicted with membraneous
Group others follow with diphtheria.
Another important step taken by the
board is the decision to make a SyS-
tematic analysis Of the water used for
drinking purposes in all sections of the
state. Specimens of water in the differ
ent towns and cities will be collected
through the 1900 local boards of health,
and analysed by Prof. II. l.. Russell
assistant professor of bacteriology at the
State university, who is consulting bacte-
biologist of the board. AS large a share
as possible of the appropriation for the
current year, probably $500 or $500, will
be devoted to this work.
In the case of the two pauper lepers
in Dane county, the disposition of whom
has been troubling the authorities for
two or three years, the board recon-
mends that they be isolated in quarters
erected for that purpose on the county
farm.
The board concluded its session short
Iy before noon today. The important
feature of this mornings session was the
amendment of the rules regarding trans
portation of the dead, by placing deaths
from scarlet fever in the list of those
prohibited from being taken for trans
portation in public conveyance.
Dr. Scion Marks of Milwaukee was
reelected president Committees ap-
pointed were: On finance, Marquardt,
Mcneil and Harrison; on legislation,
Bodenius, Harrison and Sutherland
Dr.. Marquardt joined the board last
evening, making full attendance.

BOARD OF HEALTH MEETS.
Water Supply Question at Ashland Comes
UP for Discussion.


Madison, Wis, Jan. 23IISpecial] j
The state board of health is in semi-an-
nual session at the Park hotel this after
noon and evening. It's seven members
are: Drs. Scion Marks, Milwaukee,
president; q. o. B. Wingatey Milwaukee,
secretary; G. w. Harrison. Ashland; F.
III. Bodenius, Madison; @. II. Marquardt,
La Crosse; q. O. Sutherland, GAINESVILLE;
j. H. McNeel, Fond du Lac Nearly all
are present The afternoon session was
devoted to reading the minutes of the
last meeting and general business. This
evening the election of officers and other
matters will come up.
One important matter to be acted on
will be the water supply at Ashland.
The water is taken from ChequamegOn
baYy at a point a mile from the shore.
The city's sewage is also deposited In the
bay and many people have attributed
several cases of scarlet fever, which have
occurred there the past year, to these
two facts.
The Waterworks company has just
completed system of filtration by the
Lawrence PLAN, which will be ready for
use in five days, and the state board OF
health is called on to approve the water
filtration. A committee consisting of
President Marks, Secretary Wingate
and DR.. Harrison has investigated the
matter and it's report will be to the effect
that the water is rendered almost abso-
lutely pure by the filtration process,
only 2 per cent. of organic matter re-
naming, less than is found in most pure
spring water

ABOLISH FEE SYSTEM.
Recommendation OF the Board of
Wisconsin University Re-
gents at Madison.

Madison, Wis, Jan. % Special i
The university regents will take no ac-
ton on the report of the investigating
committee of the board of regents until
the April session of the board. The
report was transmitted to the regents
late last evening by Gen. Fairchild,
chairman Of the board of visitors, as an
ticipated. 1t is complete generation
Of President Adams from Supt. Peder-
sons charges.
The surprising feature of the report is
the recommendation that the general
fee of $50 per year increased from $12
at the beginning of the present year be
abolished altogether.
Speaking of the report after the board
adjourned about midnight last night Il
prominent regent said: "Ihere is moth
ing in it which requires an action by the
board except the fee matter. This will
be taken up at the April session of the
board but [ know from the feeling
among the members that the question
will be referred by the regents to the
Legislature, pointing out that the fees
furnish revenue of 100000 to $4,000
for the university, necessary part of
the running expenses and asking the
Legislature to determine whether the
amount shall be raised by fees from
students or by an increased appropria-
ton. There are two sides to this fee.
The side which many people lose sight
of is that the parent whose children can
attend the university ought to pay
little more toward the support of the
institution than the one who is not able
to do SO, and this is accomplished by the
fee The theory that the university is
the elimination of the public school sys-
tenn is true IN a sense, but it is also true
that 1T IS a higher education which many
people DO not regard as an absolute es-

Falls,


Neenah, Wis, JAN 23.-[SpeciaL 1.-THE
article in the Evening Wisconsin of Tues
day that the Fox river manufacturers
were about to be indicted by the grand
jury for drawing too much water meets
with a fiat denial from the mill men
here. They claim that they are working
in perfect harmony with the war depart
ment ard with its full knowledge; more
over, instead of approaching the low wa
ter mark the level of the lake under
careful outstanding of the water is con-
stantly rising.
c.. w. Howard, president of the Park
Falls Paper and Pulp company left for
that place last evening to superintend
the construction of new dam: work
on which began this morning. This dam
will be thrown across the west fork of the
Flambeau, about one and one-half miles
down the river from the present plant
and at the foot of the rapids. The new
dam will be $50 feet long by Is feet in
height, capable of giving 1000 horse pow
er. The power from this dam will be
used to operate large ground wood pulp
mill which the company will erect when
the dam is completed. The mill will
have four grinders, each operated by ten
horizontal wheels on a separate line de-
veloping 300 horse power each. There
will also be a 150-horse power wheel
for operating the wood room and the
pump. Other machinery will be three
bankers, cutoff saw and a splitter. En-
gineer Orbison of Appleton is the archi-
tect and it is expected that the new plant
will be in operation before May 1. A
new machine will be put in the paper
mills and it IS expected that enough
pulp can be made and stored during the
eight months of summer to keep the
paper machines running to their full ca
pacity all the year round. Mr.. Howard
is very enthusiastic over the outlook of
the place The wood for pulp is very
abundant there, enough for ten years
usage being almost within sight of the
mills. The water power is abundant and
