Present Congress to Make First
Appropriation for New Public
Building in kenosha
$4,000 FOR KEN0SHA HARB0R
Money Will be Ready to Pay for the
Site for the Postoff1ce When it is
Selected Sum for
the Harbor

The first step has been taken by
congress to provide the money needed
for the erection of public building
in Kenosha, for in the list of recon-
mendations sent to congress yester-
day, one was for $4,000 for Kenosha.
1t seems certain that this amount is
to be appropriated by the government
for the purchase Of the site for the
proposed building, but in the recon-
mendation to congress the appropria-
ton is named as for a public build
ing in Kenosha." The city will also
share in the general appropriations
for harbor and river work, but the
amount is only $4,000 and it is thought
that it will be entirely inadequate to
carry out the improvements recon-
fnended by Major Judson.
There is little doubt but that both of
these appropria tons will be passed
without any pruning, as this is part
of the omnibus bill and no fight is
made on it. All of the amounts
named IN this bill have been practi-
cally appropriated at a former SEES
sion of Congress, and this action is
taken to make the money available.
This will make it possible for the site
for the Kenosha building to be pur.
chased on or before the first of May
of next year.
The appropriation for a site is a
large one, and it is thought that il
will be possible for the government
to secure site within these figures.
However, it is possible that if much
more delay is taken in closing up the
deal some of the prices will be higher
than those mentioned in the original
bids. The total appropriation for the
building in Kenosha is to be SIS, 900,
land with $4,000 for a site $55.C0O will
be available for the building.
The following appropriations were
recommended for Wisconsin cities:
Chippewa Falls, $40, 900; Wausau,
$4,000; Manitowoc, $4,000; Mari
nette, $4,000. PlattevilIe, S13, 900,
Sheboygan, $4,000; Kenosha, S2o,.
1000. The sum Of $4O,57Ois asked fol
the maintenance and certain repairs
at the Hayward Indian school, an6
$47, $50 for like purposes at Tomah.
For ma king improvements and
maintaining river and harbor work II
the state, appropriations are recon-
mended as follows: Kenosha harbor
IS, 600; Menominee harbor and river
between Wisconsin and Michigan
S5, 500; Racine harbor, $38, 500; fol
maintenance of Improvement in Mil
waukee harbor. including harbor 81
refuge, $4,000; Sheboygan harbor
$780, 900; Two Rivers, $4,000; Ke
waunee, $4,000; Green Bay, $4,000

The Value of Horses

In the last annual estimate made
by, the department of agriculture OF
the number and value of domestic an
imals on farms, it appears that the
farmers horses had never before
been so valuable. First threatened
by the bicycle and laterby the SUBJ
urban trolly car and the automobile,
neither one of these, nor all combined,
have scared the farmers horses into
diminished numbers or lower prices.
On the contrary, horses on farms last
winter were worth 81, 200, 600, 900, or
nearly as much as the corn crop of
the year, and their number was over
II, OOO,O Mules are also steadily
increasing and are worth 1852, 900, :

ADENOIDS
A Subject for the Consideration of
Parents

A Subject for the Consideration of
EDITOR ISLANDER:
The subject of adenoids is one that de-
serves much greater attention from par
ents than it now receives. The location
and character of the adenoid growth is
not generally understood. The growth,
which is very spongy in character, is sit
uated Immediately back of the nasal cav
ity, and partially or completely closes the
posterior opening. This produces the
condition of mouth reathing with it's
attendant conditions, catarrh of the throat
bronchitis, or even involvement of the
lungs, the result of the drying process.
The presence of the adenuids also hinders
the development both of body and mind.
Later in the course Of the disease the
shoulders become stopped. the face as
sumes a vacant look, and the mind comes
TO correspond with the facial expression.
Usually the first symptom noted by the
patient is the child breathing with the
mouth open while sleeping and with a
peculiar snoring sound. Among other
early symptoms often present are fire.
quent attacks of cold in the head, great
restlessness at night aud attacks of indi-
gestlon. Earache and discharge of pus
from the ears, leading to great impair
ment OF the hearing, are also of frequent
occurrence in children. All these symp-
toms are not present in every case. Chill
dren affected with adenoids rarely grow
TO normal size. These adenoid growths
are frequently associated with enlarged
tonslls. The operation for the removal OF
acenolds is not at all a serious one, con-
inning the child in bed only one day, and
1t should be performed in every case.
The sooner they are removed the less
marked will be the evil effects resulting
from them.

"Lohengrin." that is to be sung in
English by the Savage Grand Opera
Company, at Beck's theater, Belllng
ham, Monday evening, February ~,
beginning ats pm, is one OF the car
lier works of the great German tone
dramatist, and remains to this day one
of hi, finest and probably his most pop
ular composition. Before Wagner had
entirely completed the opera he had
already conceived the plan of the mi
belungen Ring" It is not surprising,
therefore, that some OF the original
tone motives in ''Lohengrin" should
afterwards more deliberately be de-
veloped in his subsequent works.
"Lohengrin" is the story OF Else,
tho princess of Brabant. who was
falsely accused of numbering her
brother. The charge is made by an
envious relative, Frederick Telra-
mud, husband of Ortrud, who is con-
sumed with jealousy Of the beautiful
Elsa. Telramund wishes to usurp
Elsa's inheritance to the crown.
Elsa has no champion to appear for
her in the lists, according to the
usages of the Dark Ages, and in her
despair she appeals to heaven in ore
of the beautiful classic numbers of the
opera, known as 'Elsa's Prayer
