AFTER DIRTY SHOPS.
State Barber Inspector Makes a
Descent ON kenosha and
Orders a Cleanup.
BARRIERS ITCH PREVALENT.

Inspector Whitaker of the State
Barber Commission has been in Ke-
nosha during the past few days, and
as a result of this visit there has been
decided cleaning up spell inaugu-
rated among the Kenosha barber
shops. 1t is claimed that the visit of
the inspector was due to the fact that
there were many cases of BARRIERS
itch on the north side of the city, and
the patrons of one of the shops sent
line to the commission asking that
some notice be taken of the preva-
1ence of the disease.
Mr.. Whitaker came to the city, and
it is alleged that he discovered that
the disease had all come from the
same shop. This shop was placed
under the ban at once, and the in
spector made visit to it and warned
the proprietor that he must clean up
the place at once or prepare to stand
the consequences. The man had two
men in the shop and cleaned it up,
but it is claimed that it will be some
time before the disease is eradicated.
Before the time for the issuance of
the new licenses several of the Keno
sha BARRIERS will have to go to Mil
waukee and take the examination re-
quired by the state board, and it is
probable that this examination will
be given in Milwaukee next week.
Commissioner Whitaker is working
hard to make the work of the commits
sion a benefit to the state, and he
states that in several cities he has
found it necessary to close up several
shops in order to secure the enforce
ment of the laws in regard to sanitary
precautions. Thus far no shops in
Kenosha have been ordered closed,
but one or two of them are being
closely watched.
The commissioned will return to Ke-
nosha the latter part of the week to
see that his instructions have been
carried out.

SHOWS AN INCREASE
County Clerk Crosby Prepares
Statistics of Dairy Products
of kenosha County.
CREAMERIES ARE VERY BUSY

County Clerk Crosby this morning
forwarded to the Secretary of State
the report of the Dairy Statistics for
kenosha county as required by law
and the report will prove decidedly
interesting to the people in Kenosha
county who have watched the develop
ment Of the varied dairy interests of
Kenosha and the surrounding coun-
ties.
For the past ten Or fifteen years
Kenosha county has been coming to
the front as dairy county, but
large amount of the product has been
shipped into Chicago and Milwaukee
to be sold to patrons there. The milk
from Kenosha county is sold in all
parts of Chicago and in many cases
the farmers are receiving only meager
returns for their product. The statis-
tics for this year show that the time
has come when more of the products
OF the diaries are to be utilized in
Kenosha county and there is a marked
increase in the amount of milk and
cream that Kenosha county farmers
are selling IN their own county.
The report shows that there are
now twenty creameries being operated
in the county and that the value of
these creameries is $42,850. During
the year just passed two new cream
cries have been added to the list and
none have passed out of existence.
The f111r41hpr Of
to these creameries daily is o,211 and
they are owned by 762 farmers. The
number of pounds of milk received
during the twelve months just passed
was 34,624, 374 and the number pounds
of butter or cheese made or condensed
milk produced was 1916, 564. The
total value of these products of the
county during the year was $345, 829. 90.
The supplementary report of the
clerk shows how greatly the tendency
to keep products at home has seized
hold of the farmers for the total num-
Der of gallons of milk shipped out of
the county during the year was but
261, 270 and this is only small per
cent of the amount sold within the
limits of the county.
The farmers have also given up the
art of butter-making and the reports
show that the butter made on farms
in a year amounted to only 2O,83O
pounds and its total value was ST., 700.
In these statistics Kenosha county
will compare favorab1y with any of
the counties in the state and the re-
port shows the Kenosha county is
rapidly becoming one of the banner
dairy counties of the state.

T THE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE

To parents having children to edu-
cate we wlsh to say that the College
of Commerce as, besides it's business
and shorthand courses, an English
course covering the studies of the
high school without the languages.
This department is in charge of a
State Normal graduate, a teacher of
recognized ability.
The association here is that of a Sc
1ect school. No 1oafer nor clown can
occupy desk with us to waste their
own time or that Of their neighbors.
The entire atmosphere is impregnated
with incentives to hard and thorough
work.
The tuition is but one dollar week,
and part of this is saved by our fur
nishing all text books for a small
rental fee. Parents who wish the best
of association for their children, and
the most rapid progress consistent
with thoroughness, should investi-
gate our English course of study.

MangIed Remains Supposedto be
Those of kenosha Ball Team
Found in Racine Sunday.
FAILS TO FIX CAUSE OF DEATH
Remains Were SO Battered When Found
at Verdict-May Have Been Murder.

Shortly after five O'Clock Sunday
afternoon a small boy wandering
across field known as Athletic Park
near Racine found some n1ang1ed re-
mains. The remains were so disfigur-
ed, twisted and torn that the coroner's
jury which was called to examine
them later ordered them removed in a
nail key and later in the night they
were shipped to Kenosha. An inves-
tigation showed that figures on the
clothing had made it possible to iden-
tify the remains as those of the aggre-
cation formerly known as the Keno
sha base ball team. After session
of half minute the coroner's Jury
returned verdict of suicide. It did
not require much evidence to show
only one man was called ard his name
was Duffy. Duffy testified that he
had seen the remains earlier in the
day and at that time they had fully
deci ded to run up against a triple
speed reversing buzz saw. He had
argued with the now dead aggrega-
ton, but arguments had been in vain.
They had deliberately gone to their
death. There was no one else called
by the jury as the evidence of Duffy
was supported by the appearance of
the remains and they we're hurried1y
boxed up and sent to Central Park in
care of Peter Steinbach. The inter
ment will occur later and it is probable
that due notice of the event will APP
pear in the columns of the local press.
No obituary mention could convey
any adequate measure of the feelings
in Kenosha, but it isfsafe to say that
few of the others in the city died
with them and died game. There will
be many mourners at the last sad rites
over their torn and shrunken remains.
Practical jokers in Racine failed to
re cognize the blow that fallen and in
the solemn sadness of the death hour
one of the men who writes for papers
in Milwaukee rushed to the telegraph
station and sent out an effusion some
thing like this.

Divorce in Waukegan Court

gan. by Mrs. Irene Schermerhorn

ity Of marriage vows and that he adj
mitted guilt to the same; that he
would never return to live with her
(the plaintiff), that he did not want
his child and would never contribute
to his or his wife's support; that he
has been very cruel to her ever since

MAYOR TAKES HOLD
Mayor German Orders Police to
Chase Unlicensed PeddIers
Out Of the City.
PROTECTS LOCAL MERCHANTS.

Mayor German took hand in lit
tie game this morning, and as result
of the part played by the Mayor two
unlicensed pedd1ers and their packs
were deposited just outside the limits
Of the city by Officer Hansen of the
police force. The two men had come
to the city early this morning, and
without making any effort to get a
license they had started business.
They landed at the office of the Mayor
an h0Gr later, and the Mayor looked
over the goods they were selling and
then summoned the police officer. The
officer took the men to the limits of
the city and told them to get, and they
took south toward Waukegan.
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court in favor of the pedd1ers has
filled Wisconsin with this class of
transient merchants and Kenosha,
being the first city over the Illinois
line, she is getting more than her
share of the travellers. Yesterday
there were seven of these men at work
in kenosha and the worst part of it is
that they are aware of the fact that
the city cannot enforce the law against
the vagrant peddlers and IN many
cases they become abusive to the peo-
pie whom they would make their Gus
toners.
Most of them are fakirs in the truest
sense of the word, and the people of
the city should refuse to allow these
travellers to enter their homes. The
police have been ordered by the Mayor
to use every possible means to rid the
city of these men.

OFFERS FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.

Chief of police Reino1d this morn
ing received letter from chief Of
police Phster of Racine, stating that
reward Of fifty dollars has been of
fered for the finding of the body of A.
P. Larsen who was drowned at Racine
two weeks ago. The life savers at
Racine seem to be of the opinion that
the body has drifted toward Kenosha
and the local life saving station has
been asked to make special effort to
locate the body. Larsen was drowned
in collision between a launch and
the yacht Mirella of this port.

CRIB co. MEN PICNIC.
Enjoyable Time Had at Hastings Grove
Saturday Afternoon.

Saturday Afternoon.
One OF the most enjoyable gather
1ngs held IN Kenosha this summer
was the annual picnic of the employ
ers and employees of the Kenosha
Crib Co. held last Saturday in Hast
lngs grove. These annual occasions
OF the Company are exclusive and are
arranged by the men, foremen and
firm who unite as one in the enioy-
ment and success of the day, and the
friendship and democratic feeling
shown there demonstrates the esteem
which both employee and en-
ployer hold for each other. Johnson
Jackson, secretary-treasurer of the
company of6ciated as cook and all the
men pronounced Jack a irst-class
boiler of wieners.
The ball game between the first and
second floor men was won by the sec
ond floor.
The singing of the mannerchoir
was something worth listening to,
Occasions of this kind are what draw
men closer together and cement the
bonds OF friendship.

WELL KNOWN UNIVERSITY athlete
TURNS BURGLAR AND GOES TO Pen

SEATTLE, April 4.-From college class
es to burglary was the step taken by Alex
ander Fl. Gardner, formerly of the Univer-
sity of Washington, now a convict in
Walla Walla. In G. n Adams, who tried
to rob Police Sergeant Mike Powers, and
was captured by that officer. with big
revolver and slungshot in his pockets, Gar
field McGlinn, chief clerk at the state peni-
Tertiary, recognized a former sehoolmate.
McGlinn was booking the new convict at
the time.
Gardner and McGlinn left the university
about the same time and their careers
Immediately took widely different direc-
tons. Strange chance turned these paths
to meet again. The barking of a faithful
dog put Gardner before the world in his
proper light and brought him face to face
with his former schoolmate.
Tried Wrong House
Gardner was in the University of Wash
ington last year and the year before. He
was best known as an athlete, and played
on the second eleven of that institution.
He forsook text books and pigs1in for a
jimmy and dark lantern last summer.
Since then he has been a professional
crook and done much work When he
faced McGlinn in the penitentiary his
nerve never forsook him, and he denied
the identity which he had carefully CON
cealed from the sunny afternoon when the
determined sergeant made him look down
the muzzle of big revolver while he fixed

ways.
They are brought to the palace to be
trained when little girls of nine or ten
and attached to the service of different
ladies in waiting, who teach them their
future duties. These, owing to the com
plicated courtesies of japanese society, are
SO difficult and numerous, and require such
refinement of tact and understanding that
years are required before anything like
perfection is attained. But in due course
the novice succeeds some retiring lady in
waiting and is set up in her own little
establishment, passing to the palace for
the hours or the days in which she is on
duty.
Permission to leave the royal precincts is
very seldom granted, and it is hardly to
be wondered that the woman who has
scarcely breathed any other atmosphere
since childhood than the heavy air of an
eastern palace should have small capacity
in the end for anything but the old ways,
the petty routine, the small pleasures and
excitements made normal by the habitua-
ton of lifetime.

LAUNCHING OF
The JEFFERSON

81 christen thee Jefferson" said Miss
Francel Hastings of Port Townsend, break
ing a bottle of wine over the vessels
bow as, amid the cheering of thouands
of voices, the boat went into the water
Saturday night
Owing to the multitudinous causes which
sometimes unavoidably delay such occur
rences, the Jefferson did not go into the
water exactly at the time expected. When
the big vessel started, however, the launch
ing was a success in every sense of the
word. As she slipped slowly down the
ways and went gracefully into the water,
Constructor Heath must have felt a great
satisfaction at the result of his handiwork.
So gently did the vessel take the water
that there was scarcely a ripple made as
she stood on an exactly even keel.
1t was about 7 o'clock when the last
piece of blocking had been removed and
the order was given to cut away the
lashing. The vessel started so slowly
that the motion was hardly perceptibIe.
She seemed 10th to leave the place she
had known so long and commit her huge

which was henceforth to be her home.
A few minutes after going into the
water, the Jefferson was brought to the
wharf by the tug Favorite and the chris
tening party landed.
An unusual feature of the launching was
that it brought to the city several hundred
people from Port Townsend and other
Jefferson county towns and number from
Seattle. They were guests of the Alaska
Steamship company and arrived about 4
o'clock on the Dolphin, one Of the compa-
ny's vessels. The visitors were met at
the wharf by band, a committee from
the Chamber of Commerce, city officials
and prominent business and professional
men. After spending an hour looking over
the business section of the city, the visitors
