Many Cases of Scarlet Fever are Be-
ing Reported to the Health Officer.
One Death Has Resulted
NEGLIGENCE CLAIMED BY VICTIMS
Alleged That the Disease has Been Spread
In the Village Through theiNegli-
gence of School Teacher.

People residing IN the neighborhood
of the village of Somers are greatly
worked up over the prevalence of scar
let fever ia the district and it is feared
that the disease will become epidemic.
In the past FIVE days FIVE leases have
been reported and one death has oc-
Cured. The disease is in the most
virulent form and it is feared that it
will spread into many homes. The
families affected have suggested that
the schools of the village be closed and
doctors attending the many cases
seem to think that this will be neces~
sary to prevent further spread of the
disease.
The first death from the disease oc-
Cured on Monday night when Miss
Rosetta Jensen the ten year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. James Jensen
succumbed TO the dread disease after
an illness of four days. Miss Jensen
was one of the pupils at the school and
was taken sick about the same time as
the other four who are still suffering
from the disease.
Mr.. Jensen the father of the girl an
nounced to the doctor who attended the
little girl during her last illness that
he had discovered that the disease had
been brought to Somers by the school
master in charge Of the school where
the children attended. The school
teacher had been away from Somers
during the Easter vacation and it is
claimed that during his absence he
was taken with mild form of scarlet
fever. To all intents and purposes he
had recovered from the disease when
he returned to Somers, and he at once
opened his school. 1t is thought that
he carried the germs of the deadly
disease in his clothing and in this way
communicated it to the children placed
under his care and tutelage.
The funeral of the little Jensen girl
was held this afternoon at lakewood
Cemetery.
Several of the other children are in
precarious condition and it is feared
that they will die.
The health officials of the town
should at once begin a rigid exanina-
tion into the matter and if the guilt for
the spreading of the disease can be
placed on the right party the strictest
punishment should follow.
Ia connection with the dread of the
disease in the town of Somers the
doctors Of Kenosha are making pro.
test against the lax way in which the
quarantine laws are observed ia
Kenosha. Scarcely a month passes
when a death is not recorded from
scarlet fever and the city has not been
free of the disease in many months.
This the doctors claim is due to the
fact that children affected with the
disease in a mild form are allowed to
walk the streets or even to attend the
schools.
The health officers should be forced
to see that the laws in regard to the
quarantine for this disease are more
strictly enforced.

Members of the Old Council Show
Rare Good Feeling With the
Close OF the Year
MAYOR PFENNIG HIGHLY PRAISED.
Last Act of the Old Council Was to Con-
tbs as Member of New Commission.

The old council held its last meeting
at the city hall Monday evening and
the closing session was one that will
be long remembered by the members
of the body. Never in the history Of
the city did such good fellowship pre-
vail when the mem bers of the council
separated after two years of service.
Many stormy meetings had been held
by the old council, but when the time
came to part there was feeling of re-
greet on the part of all the members.
Several men who had done valiant
service for the city were about to re.
tire and the departure was cause Of
sadness not only for them but also
for the remaining members of the
council.
There was little business Of import
ance at the last meeting. After the
reading of the minutes the petitions
and communications were all referred
to the new council.
Following the plan outlined few
weeks ago Mayor Pfennig sent to the
council the appointment of George H.
Curtis as the new member of the Pc.
lice and Fire commission to serve for
a period of four years. In this con-
nection the council confirmed all the
appointees of the mayor for the board
of commissioners and included in the
number the new appointment of Mr..
Curtis. The committee made their
final reports of business on hand.
Prairie avenue was ordered sprink1ed
and the clerk was instructed to adver-
tise for bids for then work.
Chairman Greenwa1d, of the Pauper
committee, reported sthat thescity poor
house on the Island was now entirely
vacant and asked that the council
make some disposition oflthe'o1d build
ing. It is probable that it will be
utilized by some of the families for
whom the city is now paying rent.
The business of the old council being
concluded, Alderman Schend, the re-
firing alderman from the Eighth
ward, offered the following resolution
which was unanimously passed.
Resolved, That vote of thanks be,
and is hereby extended to the Hon.
Charles H. Pfennig, Mayor, for the
many courtesies by him extended to
the common council during the past
fiscal year, his kind indulgence, and
for his uniform impartiality in his rul-
ings, conduct and dealings with the
several members of the council, and
for his unabated zeal in the interests
of the city of Kenosha.
In responding to the resolution
Mayor Pfenrig made an earnest speech
to his co.1aborers of the past year.
The Mayor said that it was not with
out regret that he witnessed the disso-
luton of the old council. He spoke of
the faithful service that had been
rendered to the city by many of the
retiring aldermen and assured the
members of the council that the city
was not ungrateful. He thanked all
the members for the generous support
they had given him during the year,
and said that he would always remem-
Der with pleasure the friendships
made during the year just passed.
After the little talk of the Mayor the
council adjourned sine die.

A DRAMATIC TREAT
Is In Store For Those who See Janice
Meredith.

Meredith.
When "Janice Meredith" is pre-
sented at the opera house by William
Bonelli and Rose Stahl and a sup
porting company, Kenosha theatre
goers will have the first opportunity Of
seeing a play that did much to bring
fame to both Mary Mannering and
Paul Leicester Ford. The novel, by
the late Mr.. Ford, has already run
into the sixth edition, $4,000 copies
having been sold, and Mary Manner
ing is always referred to as the origi-
nator of the famous role of Janice"
the colonial girl who is the heroine of
the play. In fact the role made her
famous. The play, as it will be pre-
sented here on next Sunday evening,
will DE seen exactly as it was played
all over the country exclusively in the
larger cities. The scenery, costumes,
and properties we're bought outright
for Mr.. Bonel1i and Miss Stahl. Mr..
Bonelli will be seen in the role of the
bondman spy, character new to the
American drama. He is an actor of
the heroic school, since his tremendous
physique naturally uniting him for
any other sort of roles, and during his
three seasons as a star has been re-
markedly successful in role similar
to that in which he will be seen here
Miss Rose Stahl will play the part of
"Janice,' where her unusual beauty
and ingenious methods will doubtless
show to excellent advantage. A sup
porting company of unusual strength
is required on account of the number
of strong acting parts in the play and
an exceptionally complete production
is promised.

CHAPTER XIV.
THE HIGHER LAW.

- SPN~NA III IlS OCLlO-
cratic convention that no power
on earth could save his ticket.
TO the world he put on a bold
face and made his fight to the
last ditch, predicting victory.
His secret anger against the
Preacher and Castor, his pet,
knew no bounds. Chagrined at
his repulse by Mrs. Durham and
the attitude of contempt she had
maintained toward him, his
tongue began to wag her name
in SANDER to the crowd Of young
satellites loafing around his office
in Hambright.
Yes, boys" he said, the
Preacher is a great man, but his
wife is greater. She's the hand.
soonest woman in the state in
spite of a grey thread or two in
her rich chestnut hair. She has
the most beautiful mouth that
ever tempted the soul of man
and boys, my lips know what il
means to touch it,"
And when they stared with
open eyes at this statement,
Mcleod shook his head, laughed
and whispered,
Say nothing about it-but
facts are facts"!
Mcleod chuckled over the
certainy of the shame and suffer
ing that would wiring the Preach
er's heart when dirty gossips of
village had magni6ed these
words into a complete drama of
scandal. For all preachers Nc
Leod had profound contempt,
and he felt secure now from per-
sonal harm.
The day the Preacher first
heard of these rumours was the
occasion of Gaston's campaign
address under the old oak in the
square. He had looked toward
to this day with boyish pride
mingled with a great fatherly
love. 1t would be his triumph.
He had stirred this boys imagin-
alton and moulded his character
n the plant hours of his child
hood. He had told himself that
day he spent with him in the
woods fishing, that he had kind1-
ed fire in his soul that would
not 60 out till it blazed on the
altar of a redeemed country.
And he was living to see that
day.
The streets and square were
thronged with such a multitude
as the village had never seen
since it was built. But the
Preacher was not among them
at the hour the speaking began.
A simple old friend from the
country asked him about these
rumours. He turned pale as
death, made no answer, and walk.
ed rapidly toward his study in
the church where his library
was now arranged. He was
Idazed with horror. 1t was the
first he had heard of it. One
thing in his estimate of life had
always been as securely fixed
and sheltered in his thought as
his faith in God, and that was
his love for his wife, and his
perfect faith in her honour.
He closed his door and locked
it and sat down trying to think.
Had he not grown careless in
the certainty of his wife's deyo-
ton, and his own quite but his
intense love? Had he not for
gotten the yearning of a woman's
heart for the eternal repetition
of loves language of sign and
word?
The tears were in his eyes
now, and he felt that his heart
would beat to death and break
within him!
He saw that his enemy had

nervous mana grip! lie felt a
curious throbbing in this hilt like
"a pulse. 1t was alive, and it's
spirit stirred deep waters in his
soul that had never been ruf1ed
before.
He recalled vaguely in memory
things he knew had never happ-
ened to him and yet were part of
his inmost life.
Damn him." he involuntarily
Kissed as he gripped the sword
hilt with the instructive power
of the fighting animal that sleeps
beneath the skin of all our cu1-
ture andTeligion.
And then his eyes rested on a
quaint daguerreotype picture Of
his wife in her bridal dress, her
sweet girlish face full of innocent
pride and warm with his love.
By it's side he saw the portrait
of their dead boy. How he re-
called now every hour of that
wonderful period preceding his
birth-the unspeakable pride
and tenderness with which he
watched over his young wife!
He recalled the morning of his
birth, and the heart rending,
piteous cries of young mother
hood that tore his heart until the
nails of his own fingers cut the
flesh and drew the blood. How
the minutes seemed long hours,
and how at last he bent over her,
softly kissed the drawn white
lips, and gazed with fearful won
der and awe on the little red
bundle resting on her breast!
He recalled the tremor of weari-
ness in her voice when she drew
his head down close and whisper
ed,
Il didn't mind the pain, John,
though l couldn't help the cries.
He's yours and mine-I am as
proud as a queen How our
souls are one in him-I am tired
1 must sleep"
Every movement of his past
life seemed to stand out in this
crisis with fiery clearness. He
seemed to live in an instant
whole years in every detail of
that closeness of personal life
that makes marriage a part of
every stroke of the heart.
At last he set his lips firmly
and said.
Yes, damn him, l will kill him
as,I would a snake!"
He sat down and wrote his
resignation as pastor of the
church, left it on his desk, and
strobe hurriedly from the study
leaving his door open. He pur-
chased arevolveranda box of car
tridges and walked straight to
McLeod's office.
The speaking was over, and
Mcleod was alone writing let
ters. He looked up with scant
politeness as the Preacher enter
ed and motionee him to him
seat.
Instead of seating himself, he
closed the door, and standing E.
rect in front of it, said.
Allan Mcleod, you are the
author of an infamous Islander
rejecting on the honour of my.
wife!"
Indeed" McLeon sneered,
wheeling in his chair.
Il always knew that you were
moral leper"-
"Of course, Doctor, of course,
but don't get excited" laughed
Mcleod enjoying the marks of
anguish on his face.
But that your lecherous body
should dream of invading the
scanctity of my home, and your
tongue attempt to smirch its
honour, was beyond my widest
