MAKE GOOD SHOWING
Report of State Bank Examiner
Shows But One Failure in
the Year Just Closed
DEPOSITS ARE INCREASED
(From Saturdays Daily.)

In the thirteenth annual report of
the state banking department, which
was submitted to Governor Davidson
by State Banking Commissioner M. G..
Bergh yesterday, the commissioner says
that cit is gratifying that during the
twelve months covered by the report,
(which includes two months of the
ystringency period, in some respects the
worst ever experienced in this country,
but one of the 494 financial institutions
under the supervision of this department
required any special action on the part
of the department.
The report covers the last calendar
year, and shows that the financial in
situations under state supervision are
generally in highly fourishing con
dition. The only bank that got into
difficulty during the year was the
Farmers bank Of Cuba City, capital
$500. The cause of the embarrass-
ment of that institution was, the com
missioner says, due to loose business
methods and carelessness in making
loans
The commissioner says: cit is a
great satisfaction to report that it is
now more than three years since we
had failure Of state bank in Wis
consin whereby the depositors suffered
any loss. -
Commissioner Bergh says that it be-
comes more apparent from year to year
that state banks ought to be examined
oftener than once each year , as is now
the practice. Without additional ex-
aminers, it is however, a physical i'm
possibility to make more than one ex-
animation a year and give proper at
tention to the special work which is
increasing every year, as the institu-
tions to be examined multiply in mum
Der and the volume Of their business
grows.
The commissioner shows that the
number of institutions under the SUI
pervlslon of his department increased
from 233 to 493 from 1895 to 1907, and
that their total assets during that peri
Cd increased from $43, 334,012.44 to
$l38, 698,564.66. These figures show
the commissioner says, that the institu-
tions to be examined by his depart
ment have more than doubled in mum
Der, and their business more than
trebled during the last thirteen years,
which goes to prove that the examining
and clerical forces of his department
should be increased from time to time
as the works grows, in order that the
oeposlting public may have the full
measure of protection contemplated I'M

VICTIM OF ASSA ULT
William ROIke, EmplOye of Bad
ger Plant, Badly injured by
Two Unknown Men
POLICE SEEKING ASSAILANTS

Will am Rolze one of the employees
Of the Badger Brass Manufacturing
Company was the victim of dastardly
assault near the corner Of Newell and
Park streets between six and seven
O clock Tuesday evening and he was so
badly injured that he is now in the
Kenosha hospital and it will be some
time before he is able to resume his
work at the plant. Rolke was assault
ed by two men who seem to have been
in hiding near the Cream City hotel
and as Rolke approached the corner
the men came at him and without any
word of warning started to assault him.
One of the men struck him in the face
with his fist while another struck him
on the head with some blunt instrument
Rolke went down and out and then he
claims that the men kicked him in the
ribs and maltreated him in other ways.
Finally Rolke fed to the hotel and cali
ed on the police for protection. Officer
Euting found the man seriously injured
and called a carriage and took him to
the hospital DR.. Windesheim is at
tending him. At the hospital it is re-
ported that the man is suffering from
bad scalp wound, his forehead is bad
ly cut and he suffers considerable from
pains about the chest.
Rolke could not give an adequate des-
cription of the two men as he claims
that they jumped him so quickly that
he had no chance to get look at them
and that the first blow struck practical
ly put him out of the running. It is
thought that the fact that Rollze was
employed at the Badger Brass plant
against the wishes of the union men
was the cause of the assault as he claims
that he does not known of any enemy
who would attempt to injure him.

Civil Service Examination at
the County Building Brings
Out Many Candidates
FIFTEEN SEEKING STATE JOBS
Five Candidates for State Factory In
spector While Others Write for
Work as Plumbers and
Physicians
(From Saturdays Daily.)

For the first time since the forma-
ton Of the State Civil Service Board
in Kenosha a real examination for
state positions was held at the Court
House this morning and the large num-
Der OF men seeking places in the gift
Of the state seems to indicate that
times are not any too bright. The
last civil service examination was held
in Kenosha county in the early part
OF August and at that time notwith-
standing the fact that there were many
positions offered not single applicant
appeared to take the examination.
There were less than forty applicants
appeared in all parts Of the state but
the report from Madison today is that
there were more than a thousand APP
plications for examination.
At the orders of the State Board the
entire local board composed Of John
9. Slater, A. E. Buckmaster and Prof.
W. j. Hooking were present to have
charge Of the examination. Many
well known men from the city and
men who have been we'll known in the
political affairs Of the county wrote
on the examination today. There were
five applicants for the office Of
deputy State Factory Inspector, among
the number being Charles G.. Theleen,
Alvin FL Blood, NJ Martinson and An
drew J. Tschank. Kenosha county has
never had deputy state factory in
spector Notwithstanding the fact that
this county is most vitality interested in
the work Of the State department. of
factory inspection and it is thought that
the class Of men who seek the examina-
tion will result in one Of the new depu-
ties being named from this county.
Nearly all of these men are we'll ac-
quainted with the work Of the depart
ment.
Kenosha is also to have man for
the office Of State Creamery Inspector
IN connection with the Department Of
Dairy and Food inspection as B. v.
Piper took the examination today. Mr..
Piper has been in the creamery bust
ness for years and is well acquainted
with the duties of the Office he seeks
He will undoubtedly have considerable
support for the appointment to one of
the vacancies.
There were five men wrote at the
examination for the position Of plum
Der in the state institutions and as
many for the Office IF painter, while
one man was an applicant for the Of
flee of assistant state physician to
serve in some of the state institutions.

oKLAHoMA,s EXPERIMENTS.

The newest State, unless we are sad
ly mistaken, is not going to live in
ignoble fear Of Precedent This
monetary trouble has been engaging
her attention, and an interesting bank
law results. Under this law all State
banks must keep in the hands of a
State board a sum equal to one per
cent. of their average deposits, as a
"depositors guaranty fund. = If a
State bank fails, the board shall draw
upon this fund to whatever amount
may be necessary in order to pay de-
positors in full, and replenish the fund
by an assessment, levied according to
deposits, on all the banks.
This device, we judge, should provide
complete guaranty to every deposition
in every State bank; hence should
leave no excuse for runs and boarding
those black plaques Of banking. Any
National bank in the State may pay in
its one per cent. assessment and secure
the guaranty to it's depositors on equal
terms with State banks.
In New York and Chicago the big
banks meet an acute disturbance by
standing together as a unit in their
clearing house associations. The Okla
homa law contemplates a like solidarity
for all the banks in the State. Whether
the reserve provisions of the act will
not initiate against State banks, as
compared with National, remains to be
seen. But the guaranty feature is the
best answer yet on any statute book
to the problem raised by the October
trouble-Saturday Evening Post

County Clerk Has Trouble Locat.
ing Friends Of Patients in In.
sane Hospitals of State
COUNTY TO C0LLECTAlL FEES
County Clerk Begins Work of Sending
Ont Bills, But Finds 1t Almost
Impossible To Locate Some
of the People

Following the recent orders OF the
County Board, County Clerk Russell
II. Jones has begun the work of send
ing out bills for the care of people
from this county who are now confined
in the different institutions of the
insane in the state. 1t is evident
that the ordered collection of the
fees as made possible by law passed
at the last session of the legislature
will be very difficult matter, as in
many cases the clerk has nota been
able to find any trace Of relatives or
friends Of the people sent to the asy-
lum from this county. Some Of the
friends Of the patients who have
been found have openly announced that
they will not pay for the keeping of
the patients. The full list Of patients
for which bills has been rendered to
the county is seventy-two and this
number includes seven patients now
in the school for the feeble minded.
Of the entire number the relatives of
three patients have voluntarily mott
fed the clerk that they will pay the
bills that have been rendered to the
county. 1t is possible that others will
pay when the bills are presented but
it is apparent that if the county col
lects come of the bills it will be neces-
sary to bring suit in the Circuit Court.
The new law has not as yet been test
ed in the Supreme Court of the state.
While the individual bills for the
care Of the patients is not large the
aggregate amounts to a great deal for
the county to pay. 1t is seen in look
ing over the list of patients for whose
care bills are to be sent that many
of them are mem ers of former well
known families in Kenosha but in some
OF these cases the parents and other
relatives Of the patients have removed
from Kenosha and they have not tax
en- sufficient interest in the unfortu-
mates to give the County Clerk or the
Judge of the County Court their pres
ent address. An effort is now being
made to locate all Of these people,
Some of them still have property in
Kenosha county. There are few Ke-
nosha county patients who have es-
tates in the keeping of the County
Court under guardianship.
Another thing that makes the work
Of the clerk difficult is the fact that
quite a number Of patients in the asy-
lums from this county are men who
have drifted in here as workmen in
the big factories and they were sent
to the asylum as single men. It is
thought that it will be almost impos-
sible for the county to locate the rel
atives of this class of patients.
Under the orders of the county
board the collection of these fees will
be left in the hands of the District At
torney.
So far as has been learned no at
tempt has been made to enforce the
new law in any of the counties Of the
state but the officials of this county
will watch with great deal Of inter
est for any attempt to collect the fees
under The law

The political prophets who are al
ready figuring up the vote should not
forget that the hard times are likely
to raise the vote of the Social Democra
tic Party above normal this spring and
that the effect of this unusual vote on
the majorities of the older parties must
be taken into account in figuring proba-
BILE results. The Socialists themselves
appear confident and hopeful as shown
by the fact that they have put full
ticket into the field and the vote of
this party may possibly have a very I'M
expected effect on some of the ward
tickets.

AS natural sequence to the hard
times the state job under the civil SER
vice has come into popular favor again
as shown by the fact that over thous-
and applicants for these places took the
civil service examinations Saturday.
Only few months ago it was
a difficult matter to keep any
names on the eligible list and some
Of the places offered went beg
ging but now there is such a rush
for places that the examination may be
made more severe in order to raise the
standard on the eligible lists. Regular
employment with sure pay even though
Ghe salary may be smaller than they
been accustomed to receive in the past,
looks pretty good these days to many
able men who have lost their places and
are out OF work. AS result the places
at the disposal of the commission are
being eagerly sought and there is no
likelihood that it will be necessary to
hold frequent examinations in the
future to keep the eligible lists filed
with first class men.

We see no reason why people who
are amply able to do SO should not pay
for the care Of their insane relatives
in state Institutions and we believe
that every effort should be made to col
lect the bills for the care of the in
sane rendered to their relatives by the
county under the new law. The county
pays all that it should be called upon
to pay or expected to pay for the sup
port Of those unfortunates who have
neither property of their own nor rela-
tives able to pay for them.

HAD SMALL POx SCARE
Ice Cutter at the County Jail Claimed
That He Had the Dread Disease.


That He Had the Dread Disease.
There was small pox scare at the
county Jail last night when an unknown
man who refused to give his name ap-
piled at the Jail for a night IS lodging
The man was broken out with red
splotches all over his body and he in
sisted that he had the small pox and
IN short time he had managed to
strike terror in the hearts of four other
men who had gone to the tramp room
Tor the night The man got out of the
Jall early this morning and is supposed
to have gone to the ice fields. Turnkey
Shields is inclined to think that the
man did not have the small pox but that
ne was simply attempting to work
Joke on the other members of the com
pany in the tramp room. However the
other men seem to be convinced that
they have been exposed to the disease.
Inc man came 10 Kenosha from Chica-
go and had not passed the government
inspectors at the employment agencies,

State horticultural Society Gives Method
of Treating Dangerous Disease.
Bulletin No. II recently issued by
the State Horticultural Society gives
detailed description and methods Of
treatment of very dangerous disease
Of young trees known as blight canker.
This disease attacks mainly young
trees, eight to fifteen years old, killing
the bark Of the trunks in patches or
attacks the crotches girdling the main
branches.
The disease appeared in the trial or
chard maintained by the society at
Wausau and destroyed several hundred
trees before it's nature was known. Tt
is widely distributed through the state
having been found in twenty-six coun-
ties
The blight canker is a bacterial di-
sease and caused by the same organisms
that cause the well known fire
blight of the apple. Too often in
juries caused by this canker are ascrib-
ed to sunscald or winter killing. It
cannot be controlled by spraying.
Treatment consists in cutting out all
diseased bark, disenfacting the wound
with a two per cent solution of copper
sulphate or one tenth per cent solution
of corrosive sublimate, and afterward
covering with paint.
The bulletin consists of twenty four
pages illustrated with seven engrav-
ings. A copy will be sent to any reader
