School 8oaro 1lIeettu9

The school board meeting Monday
night was attended by every member.
The returns of the late bond election
were canvassed and the proposition
declared defeated by majority of 5.
The usual bills were approved and a.
lowed.
The most important matter that
came up was the resolutions introduc-
ed by Mr.. Gates calling for a bond ell.
ection to vote on a S2j, 900 proposition
for high school. In introducing
this resolution Mr. Gates remarked
that he thought the time was ripe for
submitting this high school proposi-'
tion as he had never before seen the
moueyed mer of the town so unam-
inously in favor of the high school
proposition. 1t developed during the
last election that the wealthy men of
the town opposed the first proposition
because they wanted to vote for high
school bonds. He thought that since
this element was so unanimously in
favor Of the bonds their wishes should
be gratified and they should be allow
ed to vote on the greater proposition.
At Mr.. Gates suggestion the PROPOSE
tion was not voted on but was defer
red for consideration at another
meeting.

Many years will not pass before every farmer realizes that the use of machin- cry run by horse power is the more eco- nomical and labor-savirg way of doing their work. Certainly B. s.

Glover, Newrown, agent for the Appleton Manufacturing Co.,, Batavia, Ill.,, 8 two horse Success tread power, cutter, feed mill, corn sheller, saw and frame.

MIsCHo CHILD DEAD.
Little Boy Neglected by It's Mother Dies
of Cholera Infantum

1
John Mischo, the two months old
child of Mr.. and Mrs. John .Mischo,
died Tuesday evening at the home Of
it's father on Lake avenue. While the
death certificate states that the child
died from cholera infantum, it is al
legged that it died as a direct result oil
not being properly cared for.
According to the story told by people
living in the neighborhood of the
Mischo home. the mother and wife in
the family has been guilty of basely
neglecting the child. The woman
some time ago started out to see the
sights of the city, and according to the
story, in order to secure funds for that
purpose, she sold the furniture in the
| little home and turned the children out
on the streets to the kindness of the
neighbors. The husband was a hare
working man and when he returned
home in the evening he found the home
deserted. The children after wander
ing around for some time, were taken
in by neighbor and kept until the re-
turn of the father. The little child
was at once taken sick and on Sunday
the case developed into cholera in
fantum. While the doctors do not
state that the child's death was caused
by the inhuman act of the mother, they
are of the opinion shat the death
would not have occurred had it not
been for the exposure of the little one.
The report that the Mischo woman
had left the city seems to be without
any foundation. She has not been ar
rested, but the Chief of Police said
that the matter had been presented to
the District Attorney and if there was
any charge on which the woman could
be arrested che will promptly be landed
in jail.
The death of the child and the de-
yelopments made public show a case
unparalleled in the history OF Kenosha
1t is bad enough for manto be found
guilty of such actions, but when the
wife and mother is accused of such an
action the case surely is even more
pitiable. If the Mischo woman can be
shown to be guilty Of having caused
the death of the little child, she should
be dealt with and receive the full pen
atty which the law providesain such
cases. ~'nf I'm.

committee of three, In their address to

lican party Of today has turned its
back upon the principles enunciated in
the Declaration of independence and is
looking to the old world-the govern
ment of King George III-tor it's in
spiration and guidance. 1t is always
pleasant to discover something new in
history. We had never before enter
tanned very exalted idea of George
III and his government, but this state
ment coming from gentlemen of such
unquestioned authority puts an alto
gether different light On the matter.

WILL INVESTIGATE.
CITY OFFICIALS ARE AROUSED
OVER THE REPORT.
Niger IN THE FENCE.
Mayor German and Chief OF Police oHare
are Inclined to Discredit the Report
but are Determined to Root the
Matter Out.

The whole staff of city officers are
aroused over the report that there is
one in their midst who is inclined to
secretly oppose the action of the re-
mainder of the officials in everything
that pertains to the reforms that the
present administration has set about
evidently with the purpose of accom-
plishing. At the time of Officer Orths
suspension from the force it was rumor-
ed that there was certain city official
who was personally interested in
certain abuses of the law in the matter
of running gambling places and the
like. The arrest of the crap players
last Saturday and the reported boast
of the propretors of the game that they
were acquainted with .one of the city
officials who was interested in the
game to such an extent that he warned
the one in which his interest centered
that the raid was about to take place,
has brought the matter to notice again
and the officials are beginning to
manifest deep interest in the case and
have avowed the determination to
investigate the affair carefully and
either prove that the reports are all
false or find the official who is i'm
plicated.
1t has been the intention of the
Mayor and the police to enforce the
law, and as far as the public can see
that has been done to at least as great
an extent as it was ever before en-
forced. There is no question that the
police department. has performed it's
duty we'll thus far. If there is a niger
in the fence who is defeating the efforts
of the police and the head of the city to
restore law and order, there will be an
interesting attempt made to discover
his whereabouts. Suspicious not alto
gether vague are entertained as to the
identity of the offender 1t would
seem that if the parties who have as
sumed to.know all about the case were
as sanguine as they iappear to be they
would waste!nO time in bringing the
matter to light. Mayor German was
seen this afternoon and interviewed in
the matter. He confessed that the re-
port was riddle to him and that be-
fore he saw the affair mentioned in the
paper it was entirely unknown to him.
Nevertheless he was very much inter-
ested in getting at the bottom of
the trouble and bringing the man
to rights if he can be found and
the charges thus insinuated proved.
However the Mayor stated that he
took very little stock in the report
and was more than half inclined
to regard it as an empty boast or the
foolish gossip of some individual who
is trying to work off his spleen against
the man in question.
The Chief of Police feels good deal
as the Mayor does in the matter and,
while he is determined to do his best
in the way of uncOvering the truth, he
scarcely takes the rumor seriously.

YELLOW TERROR NOT CONFINED
TO SOLDIERS HOME,
NOW IN VILLAGE OF PHoEBUs.
Three Cases, one Policeman and the
other Two sold1ers-Norfolk Keep
ing Awake NIGHTS to Prevent the
Fever Coming There

Norfolk, Va, Aug. yellow fever
appeared yesterday at Phoehus, little
town almost adjoining Hampton The
scourge appeared among the negroes,
and six cases and two deaths were re-
ported. There is no change in the local
situation except that the authorities
| have redoubled their diligence to pre-
vent the fever spreading to this city
| from Hampton or elsewhere. The
mayor, chief of police, and patrolmen
are doing eighteen hours duty daily,
and special officers, inspectors and ply
sicians are working day and night per-
fecting the quarantine against Hamp-
ton and nelghboring points in the pen
insula. Mayor Johnston yesterday re-
ceived a dispatch from Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman, of the Marine hospital
service, placing Grant Island at the dis
posal of this city and Portsmouth, and
it will be used as detention camp, if
necessary.
Asks That the Uninfected Be Removed.
Mayor Johnston called up Governor
Taylor and asked him to urge upon
Secretary of War Root to send all in
mates of the home whose removal was
regarded as prudent to some point
north, to remain until the disease has
been stamped out. The governor prom
ised to give the suggestion immediate
attention Fishermen and oyster
tongers who have been operating in the
vicinity of the infected districts are not
allowed to come near the shore. Sew
eral were driven back yesterday by the
river and harbor patrol. DR.. Lynch, a
yellow fever expert, has been appointed
assistant quarantine officer and is Civ
ing close attention to trains and ship
ping. He has systematized matters and
is doing effective work.
Not So Bad as Reported at Phoebus.
Hampton, Va, Aug. 2.-Policeman
Joseph Mastin is one of the victims of
yellow fever at Phoebus, and the most
remarkable feature of his case is the
fact that he believed he had yellow
jaundice. While walking about the
streets he was seen by Surgeon White,
of the Marine hospital service, sta
toned at Hampton, who at once pro-
nounced the disease yellow fever. DR..
White ordered Mastin to return to his
home, which was promptly Quaran-
tined. Two other victims are old sol
diers who were found ina saloon. They
were sent to the hospital at the home.
These are the only cases that have
been reported at Phoebus. The report
that two negroes died there yesterday
is erroneous
