SHOW AN INCREASE
More Insane Patients at Asylum
According to State Board
of Control
PATIENTS WELL CARED FOR

Although figures on file with the
State Board of Control would indicate
a rapid increase in the insane popula.
ton of Wisconsin, members of the
Board believe that better treatment in
county asylums has attracted a large
number Of insane patients which pre-
viously were cared for in county in
situations. On September so there
were 6265 inmates in the public insti-
buttons, of which 1887 were males and
2687 females. Of the total number,
1852 were in hospitals for the treat
ment of acute insanity and ALB were
in the thirty-one county asylums. On
that date the Mendoza hospital for the
insane contained $50 male and 249 fe-
male PATIENTS the northern hospital
387 males and 239 females, and the
Wauwatosa sanitarium 321 males and
298 females.
Ten years ago the ratio Of insane
was one to 423 people and ON June 80,
1908, the ratio was one to 382 people,
based upon the census of 1905. The
total number CT insane people in the
state on September 80, 1898, was 1872,
Of which 1886 were in county asylums,
1928 in Mendoza asylum, $50 in the
Northern insane asylum at Oshkosh,
and 4S5 in the Wauwatosa institution.
In the meantime, additions have been
made to practically all the state in
stitutions, but the members of the
Board declare that it was not due to
a sudden or alarming increase in in
sanity, but rather to an increased
confidence on the part of people nav
| ing insane relatives in the ability of
the state to properly care for the I'M
| fortunates. While accurate figures
could not be obtained for the past year
the report indicates that from Is to Is
per cent are affected in one degree
with epilepsy.
One of the most comprehensive re-
ports to be made upon the subject
of insanity, feebleminded epilepsy and
blindness. is now being compiled by the
State Board of Control, with the as
sistance Of Assemblyman Gilmore T. El
yer Of Madison Mr.. Elver' estimates
there are $1,000 unfortunates in the
state, of which 5000 are feebleminded
1000 insane, 5000 eplleptic and 5000
blind. These last figures include indi.
vidual cases which are being cared fol
in homes as well as in public institu.

LIsr OF THE DONORS
chairman Makes Known Names OF the
Men Contributing to Fund

Chairman II. I'll. Manson Of the Dem
ocratic state central committee Friday
afternoon made public statement of
the contributions to the Democratic
state campaign fund with the names of
all contributors who gave sums of
over $25.
In his statement Mr.. Manson chal-
lenges the Republican state central
committee to be equally frank with
the public and to announce it's list of
contributions.
A part of the money was, according
to Mr.. Manson S statement, contribute
ed directly to the state central com
mittee while a part was contributed
through E. G.. Wall
Although no mention was made in
the statement of the expenditures by
the committee SO far, Mr.. Manson says
they have somewhat exceeded the con
tributions. It is however, expected
that the contributions of the candidates
who have not so far subscribed and
of other leading Democrats will make
up the amount needed to finance the
campaign. So far the nominees on
the state ticket who have made their
contributions to the fund are George
I. Heslin, the candidate for state
treasurer; E. A. Evans the candidate
for attorney general, and William Gull
iaume, the candidate for insurance
commissioner. No subscription is an
nounced as yet from Neal Brown, the
candidate for United States senator,
but this also, it is understood, is com
ing later.
The names Of Kenosha Democrats do
not appear on Mr. Manson's list. 1t
is understood that the Kenosha men
contributed to the county campaign
fund and not the state fund.

ENTERS PUGH HOME
Daring Burglary Attempted at the
Home of Dr.. William M. Pugh
Wednesday Evening
MRS. PUGH SCkRES MAN AWAY

The band OF burglars who have been
working in the Prairie avenue districts
got down to Ashland avenue Wednes-
day night, and one of the members of
the gang forced an entrance into the
residence of Dr. William NJ Pugh on
Ashland avenue. Mrs. Pugh saw the
man making an entrance to the house
and she managed to arouse the neigh.
bors, but the burglar escaped through
a rear door and no clue to him has as
yet been found. Mrs. Pugh had what
is known in sporting parlance, a
"huntch' that the house was to be
robbed Wednesday night and when the
doctor was called out just before eight
O clock she went round and locked all
the windows and then retired to her
bed room. She had been upstairs but a
few minutes when she was aroused by
a violent ringing of the front door
bell She did not answer the call on
account of her fears which she had
expressed earlier in the evening, and
after the bell had been rung for nearly
u minute she heard person slip off
the front porch and go to the rear OF
the house. By this time Mrs. Pugh
was thoroughly awake and going to
the rear room on the upper story of
the house she looked down just in time
to see two feet Of a man going through
the window leading from the porch in
to a pantry She shouted at the fell
low but he nurriedly pulled himself
in to the house. Mrs. Pugh grabbed
her valuables and locked them in a
drawer and turneu on all the lights
connected with switches and then be-
gan to look for help. Not giving the
burglar as much as a thought she
dashed down the front stairs of the
house and out the front door to secure
help. She managed tc get hold Of
Patrick Freil who resides in the ad-
Joining house and the two returned to
look for the burglar. By the time they
returned he had gone out the back
door Of the house and had made good
his escape. Mrs. Pugh was not able to
give any description OF the man but
it is thought that he is the same man
who worked at the Kubec house on
the former evening. It is not thought
that the man got any booty at the
Pugh home.
The police had every man on the
force at work on the case Wednesday
night and Notwithstanding the fact
that they searched until midnight moth
ing was found of the man, and it is
thought that he managed to conceal
himself somewhere in the neighborhood
There is no doubt but that this man
is an expert at the burglary game,
and the police are making every pos
sible effort to get him.

cine, opened his speaking campaign in
Kenosha county at Woodmen's Hall in
the village of Somers last night and
spoke to crowd of more than four
hundred people. The house was pack
ed to the doors and the congressman
was given a very enthusiastic recep-
ton during his speech of more than
two hours. He paid the highest tribute
to William H. Taft, declaring that his
statements were based on his personal
acquaintance with the high character
of the Republican nominee. He spoke
of the sacrifice that Judge Taft had
made in giving up career on the
bench to go to the Philippines and how
he had brought order out of chaos. He
spoke of the personal character of Mr.
Taft declaring him the ideal American
citizen.
In addition the Congressman dis
cussed all of the National issues in
vigorous manner and had consider.
able to say in regard to his action in
Congress and his war against the sys.
tenn in Congress.
After the address the county candi
dates and a number of the Republican
leaders who had gone out from Keno
sha together with the speaker were
entertained at a dinner by the ladies
of the village. This was in the ma
ture of love feast at which the county
chairman received reports from differ.
ent portions of the county. The re-
ports were all of a decidedly encour-
aging nature.

Feed Store of John Evans is the
Scene of an Unusual Fire
on Friday Night
TRAIN CREW DISCOVERS FIRE
Local Character Suspected of Setting
the Blaze But No Arrests Have
Been Made AS Fire
e Causes Great Excitement

The town of Salem had a narrow
escape from being destroyed by an in
cendiary fire just after midnight Fri
day morning according to reports
brought into Kenosha this morning by
people coming in to attend the poll
teal meeting. The fire was set in a
shed which was one of the buildings of
John Evans, dealer in lumber and
feed. The shed is located in the very
heart Of the village and had the fire
got a good start it is probable that it
could not have been stopped until many
Of the buildings Of the v4Aage had been
wiped out.
The fortunate arrival Of a gang of
railway men who discovered the fire
and extinguished it saved the town.
One man who is character about the
village is under suspicion, but he has
not been arrested. He was seen about
the Salem station shortly after the
fire had been extinguished and his
eyes showed that he had been some
where where they had been affected by
smoke and fire, but he declared that he
had been fighting grass fires during the
afternoon and as yet he has not been
arrested. The building in which the
fire was started is a small wooden shed
used for the storing Of building materi,
ais and it is evident that the person
setting the fire deliberately piled the
Ii Il ha n
match to it. The fire was in the very
center Of the building and it had been
started only few seconds before the
light was seen by the railway crew and
they hurried there on switch engine
and with the aid of people of the vii
lage hurriedly aroused, managed to
put out the blaze before it could
spread to the piles Of lumber and other
bullu1ngs about it.
The fire caused the greatest excite.
ment in the village when the people
were aroused and hunt was started
for the man who had set the fire, but
the man now suspected of the crime,
was not found at that time as he is
alleged to have slipped away and con-
cealed himself about the railway sta
ton. Evans has thus far refused to
swear out warrant charging the ma I
with arson Notwithstanding the fact
that Deputy Sheriff Pease wanted TO
bring him to Kenosha to jail this morn
ing. Sheriff Pfennig stated today that
he could take no action in the matter
until after Evans decided that he
would swear out a complaint against
the man. In the meantime the people
of Salem are keeping close. watch
on the man fearing that he has a
mania for setting fires. There have
been a lot Of mysterious grass fires set
in Salem during the past few days and
they had been blamed on to Kenosha
boys, but it is thought possible that
the man now under suspicion may have
been connected with these fires as we'll.

called to Chicago on Saturday to be
examined in connection with the re-
cent tests made by the government Of
fcials of milk offered for sale in this
county and while the results Of the
examinations have not been made pub
lice among the farmers there is consid-
cradle anxiety. The government Of
fcials secured more than 200 samples
of milk from farms in this county, but
the reports Of the examination of these
samples have not as yet been made
public. It is thought that there will
be some public action taken within the
