KERWIN is VERY ILL.
County Supt. Elect John J. Ker.
win Suffering From an Attack
of Nervous Prostitution.
MAY HAVE TO RESIGN OFFICE.

Alarming reports are received from
the village of Silver Lake in regard
to the condition of John J. Kerwin,
one of the best known residents of
the county who was elected county
superintendent of schools at the last
county election and who was to have
taken up the work of the Office week
from next Monday.
Mr.. Kerwin is suffering from an
acute attack of nervous prostratio
brought on by over work and over
study and it is very doubtful if he
will be able to assume the duties of
his Office in another week. Mr.. Ker-
win is now at the.home of his wife's
relatives at Sy1vania in Racine county
and is under the constant care of
physicians.
Mr.. Kerwin's illness first developed
about week ago and since that time
he has been growing steadily worse.
His firing off a revolver at his home
on Wednesday night gave rise to the
most sensational of rumors but the
physicians attending Mr.. Kerwin
state that these rumors are without
foundation in fact. Doctors Teidt of
Salem and Prouty of Burlington, have
been attending Mr.. Kerwin since he
became i'll.
DR.. Prouty was called by phone this
afternoon and in regard to the condi-
ton of Mr.. Kerwin he said: 81 would
rather not make any public state
ment in regard to this case, as his
relatives are very anxious to have
little said about it. Mr.. Kerwin is
suffering from an acute attack of
nervous prostration, and has been
taken to Sy1vania to recuperate and
rest. He is just all tired out. His
work and study and worry in connec-
ton with the coming institute has
completely worn him out, and he will
have to have long rest. I was hope
full that Mr.. Kerwin would be able to
assume his duties as County Superin-
tendent but this may not be pos
sible.'
DR.. Prouty stated further that he
had seen Mr.. Kirwin on Thursday and
that his condition showed a slight i'm
provement.
The new County Superintendent
has already qualified for the Office,
and should he not be able to take up
the work it will be necessary for the
County Board to meet and name a
successor, or else have special cleo.
ton among the towns of the county.

LAKE MICHIGAN RISING.
of North Shore Make an Eff.
fort to Account for Water Increase.

Scientists of North Shore Make an Eff.
fort to Account for Water Increase.
The fact that the level of Lake
Michigan has risen about foot in
the past two years and continues to
rise, in spite of the outflow of 200, OCO
cubic feet per minute through the
drainage canal at Chicago, is unac-
counted for in the minds of many. A
lake captain discussing the question
said: al
"There are a number of causes and
any one of which might
account for the rise in the lake level
in 1904 and 1905. The severe winters
of 1904 and 1905 might account for it.
The ice on the lakes was extraordin-
airy heavy, as well as through the St.
Clair and Detroit rivers, and there
were heavy ice gorges in the spring,
choking the flow of water from Lakes
Huron and Michigan and backing it
up there.
ga second cause was the greatly IN
creased tonnage passing through the
Detroit and ST. Clair rivers during the
last four or five years. There is an
average Of 100000. tons massed in
these streams all the time for over
seven months during the season of
navigation, displacing 1000, 900 cubic
feet of water and choking and backing
up the natural flow from Lakes Huron
a SO1a %N M
effects are not observed until April,
May and the summer months follow
ing.
"a third fact that may account for
the high stage of water is an increased
precipitation over the vast area that
drains into Lakes Superior and Mich
igan and their own superficial area.
"The decreased evaporation
through fog blankets may be reason
why the water continues high. Others
attribute it to the elevation or fitting
of the eastern bottom of Lake Huron
and Georgian bay. There is another
theory that the lakes are partially fed
from subterranean springs, and that
the increased flow from them would ac-
conut for the rise liz water. The con-
traction and expansion of the water
in the lakes owing to the extremes of
winter and summer Temperatures have
their effects. Then it may be COM
bination of all OF these causes that
has led to an average rise of one foot
in the last two years, from 1908 to
1906"

TO GET NO INCREASE
Post Office Department Declines
to Raise the Salaries of
Clerks in KenoSha.
MAY GET ONE ASSISTANT

Postmaster J. B. Ma1oney has re-
ceived letter from the Post Office
department in Washington stating
that it will be impossible for the de-
partment at this time to consider any
proposition for increased salaries for
the clerks in Kenosha post Office but
that the matter will be taken up just
as soon as the appropriations for the
post Office department warrant such an
increase. Several iof the men now
clerking in the Kenosha Office should
receive increases this year but they
will be forced to wait until next year.
Postmaster Maloney has sent letter
to the department stating that in
connection with the change of 1oca-
ton of the Office the services of
another assistant in the office will be
necessary and he is hopeful that he
will secure the consent for such an APP
pointment. There are a number of
men on the list of eligibles and an ap-
pointment could be made just as soon
as it was authorized by the depart
ment.
This morning the Office received an
official communication from the Office
at Cleveland, Ohio, inclosing letter
which had been mailed by F. o. Ben
son of this city which was in one of
the mail pouches on the Lake Shore
Limited wrecked at Mentor, Ohio, on
Wednesday night. All save one little
corner of the letter had been burned
up but on this corner appeared the
word Kenosha, Wis, and after con-
siderable detective work the clerks in
the office discovered that the letter
had been mailed by Mr.. Benson and
the charred envelope was returned to
him this morning. This is the only
Kenosha letter that has been returned
but it is thought that there were
many letters mailed from this city in
the burned pouches. The govern
ment is making every effort to gather
up the charred remains of these letters
and return them to the senders.
The work of removing the post
office to the Meyers Block will be
started the last of next week and it
is probable that the Office will be
read for business in the new quarters
before the end of the first week in
July.

w. C. Bourchard Formerly OF Ne
nosha Commits Suicide at
DanyiIIe, I'LL. Thursday.
AN OVERDOSE OF PARIS GREEN
Man Had Been Working as a Farm
Hand and Was Dependent Because
His Wife Had Left Him and He
Had Been in Ill Health.

w. G Bourchard until three months
ago resident of Kenosha committed
suicide at Danvi1le, ILL.,, Thursday
morning by taking an overdose of
paris green. Letters were received
in this city this morning announcing
his death and his relatives here have
been asked to provide for his burial.
AS Bourchard had resided in Illinois
less than month it is claimed that
the county in which Danville is
penses of the man. S burial. Bourch-
ard has no direct relatives in Keno
sha but it is probable that the people
will arrange to bury him in the
cemetery at Danvil1e.
Bourchard came to this city from
Milwaukee less than six months ago
and had resided with sister on
Salem avenue. He had wife and
children in Milwaukee and they de-
c1ined to come to Kenosha to join
him. Three months ago he returned
to Milwaukee and later went to Dan
vile where he had been working as a
farm hand. The letter gives only a
little of the details of the suicide.
Bour richard had arisen early yesterday
morning and had done the chores
about the house after which he told
the farmer by whom he was employed
that he was going to Danville. How

mile from the house and securing
an emulsion of paris green which had
been used to kill potato bugs he drank
quantity of it. The man must have
had a horrible death as the body
showed evidences of a struggle.
Bourchard was forty-two years of
age and was born in France. He had
been sufferer from consumption for
more than average intelligence he
had a hard time to make a living.
For time he worked for the A1lis-
Chalmers company in Milwaukee but
when his health would not permit his
retaining his position longer he came
to Kenosha and sought work as a
gardner. He seemed to be in the
best of spirits when he left Kenosha
to return to Milwaukee and at that
time he was planning to go to Dan
vile. He wrote letters to his friends
here stating that his wife had refused
to accompany him to Danvil1e and
this is supposed to have been the
real reason for his rash act.
