In the Circuit Court for Milwaukee
county, before Judge Tarrant today the
court is considering motion Of Mrs.
Matte j, Spalding to reopen the di-
vorce judgment granted against Health
Office DR.. J. B. Spalding in 1904. In
her motion Mrs. Spalding declares that

by the court at the time Of the trial of
the case is insufficient for the support
of herself and her daughter, and she
asks that the amount be increased. She
declares that she has no means Of sup
port as the estate Of her father who
died two years ago is now being admin
istered At the present time the ali
mony is $40 month ard Mrs. Spalding
is said to ask a much larger sum. The
motion was filed in the Circuit Court
here on Tuesday and at once sent to
Judge Tarrant for hearing. 1t is ex-
pected that the court will hand down a
decision on the motion this afternoon.

WOULD BOOST FUND
Wisconsin Anti. tuberculosis So.
clsty to Sell Stamps to Get
Funds for Great Warfare
WILL SELL 1000, 900 IN STATE

Planning a campaign of education
throughout the state in regard to con
sumption, it's causes and effects and
methods Of prevention, the Wisconsin
Anti tuberculosis Association, with
headquarters at room AL, Goldsmith
building, Milwaukee, has instituted a
novel plan for raising funds to carry
Oh the work. All classes of citizens
will be invited to assist, and contribu-
tons may be from one cent up, accord
ing to the wishes and ability of the
individual
The plan is to raise funds through
the medium Of the National Red Cross
stamps. These stamps are designed to
take the place Of the customary holi-
day greeting stickers placed on pack
ages, letters, etc. They are printed in
colors on white paper, gummed. A hol-
ly wreath in green surrounds the words,
in red, "Merry Christmas" and Chap
ply New Year" and the figures "190S -
Around the border are the words,
" American Red eros" in red.
The stamps sell for one cent each
and may be secured in any number by
addressing room All, Goldsmith build
ing Milwaukee. The stamp campaign
will continue from now until Jan. l.,
1909. It is hoped to dispose of at
least 100000 stamps in Wisconsin.
With the money raised by the sale of
stamps, the Wisconsin Anti -Tuberculo-
sis Association will increase and insti-
tute fresh educational campaigns of in
formation regarding the white plague.
Every cent secured will be devoted ex-
clusively to the work in this state. All
citizens, societies, clubs, and especially
boys and girls are urged to assist in
disposing of stamps, and by doing so
they will help in furthoring the hu-
name work Of the WISCONSIN associa-
ton.
Eminent specialists in tuberculosis de-
clare that this dread disease will be
stamped out in ten years in Wisconsin
if the people will but unite in observing
the ordinary laws Of hygiene and fol-
low instructions given in every pamph
let treating on consumption. The pub
lie realizes the ravages Of the disease
in Wisconsin, but they seem apathetic.
Tt is for the purpose of awakening the
people that the Wisconsin association
plans the present campaign Of educa
ton. Buy stamp, one or many, and
assist in this commendable work

suit of Alexander Beaubien for the
same purpose, and was filed as the
outcome of his suit which was dis
missed on Saturday by Judge Turner

Martin Richards, Better Known as
Brownie" Killed by a Fall
From a TreStIe
COMPANION ESCAPES INJURY
John Reidenbach and Richards Are
Caught OH Trestle by Approaching
Carload Boy Well Known
Ali Over the City for Years

Martin Richards, more famiIiarly
known to the people of Kenosha as
" Brownie" Richards, was instantly
killed about eleven o'clock Tuesday
evening by fall from a. trestle leading
over Deer Creek and used by the inter
urban cars near Marion, Indiana. His
companion John Reidenbach also of this
city narrowly escaped a similar fate.
Both Of the young men had gone to the
Indiana city to visit Herman Reiden-
bach, a brother in law of Richards.
+" BroWnie' and Reidenbach were on
their way home after attending the
theatre, on the street cars and by mis-
take were carried past their destination.
They started to walk back and were
caught in the middle Of the trestle
which at this point is forty feet high by
another suburban car which was ap-
preaching SO rapidly that there was no
chance for them to reach the end of
the trestle before being overtaken.
Reidenbach saved himself by holding
to the end of the ties and swinging him
self under the trestle until the car
passed but when Richards attempted the
same thing he was not SO fortunate and
he lost his hold and fell to the bed Of
the creek. Richards struck on his head
fracturing his skull and u1ed almost in
stantly. When his body was searched
at the morgue a key ring was found
bearing the inscription eff found re-
turn to Brownie, Barber Shop, Kenosha,
Wis. The Northwestern Loan and
Trust company which acted as guardian
for young Richards has ordered the
Marion authorities to return his body
to this city for interment. Few men
were so we'll known and SO universally
liked as "Brownie" Richards. He had
made his living by selling papers, black
ing shoes and doing all kinds of Jobs to
earn an honest penny and for the last
few years he had worked as port
er in the German barber shop.
He has been self supporting ever since
he was a, mere baby and the brave up
hill battle he made to earn an honest
living won him the respect and regard
Of all with whom he came in contact
and who were familiar with his history
and his struggle against heavy odds.
His familiar figure will be missed along
Main street where every man was his
friend.
Richards left here Monday afternoon
for visit with his sister who is the
wife Of Herman Reidenbach, the SUI
perintendent Of the Marion Brass and
Iron Bed Company, at Marion, Ind.

SEEK MISSING MAN

Kenosha is evidently regarded as a
haven for missing men as in the past
month the Chief of Police has been
asked to search for q half dozen PEG
pie missing from other cities This
morning the chief was asked to look
for S. M. Petersen, hardware mer
chant who disappeared from Austin, I'll
on the first day of last month. The
relatives of Petersen believe that he
has been killed and it was thought pos
sible that it was his body found in the
thicket on the Riley farm. This could
not be possible as the portions of the
body were found on the, Riley farm be
fore Petersen disappeared. So far as
can be learned no trace of Petersen has
been found in Kenosha.

TO USE TELEPHONES DOES MUCH WORK
Railways Start the Work Of Equip
ing Lines to Use Phone In
stead of Telegraph
MUST CUT OFF BIC EXPENSES

Tie use Of the telegraph as an instru
ment for the dispatching and operation
Of trains on American railroads will
soon become obsolete as the result OF
an action Of the American Railway as
ISOLATION at it's meeting in Chicago this
week.
After an investigation extending over
nearly a year by a committee appointed
to consider the subject it has been
found that the telephone is not only as
safe as the telegraph for directing the
movements of trains, but as more
efficient as economical. In conse-
quence the railroads will proceed to sub
stitute the new system for the tele-
graph
This does not mean that every tele-
graph instrument is to be thrown into
the scrap heap at once, as the installa-
ton of the telephone will necessarily
take time and involve considerable ex-
pense. It was learned yesterday, how
ever, that the railroads are planning
to put the recommendation Of the as
ISOLATION, which represents over 240,-
900 miles of road, into effect as soon
as possible, with the ultimate intention
Of completely abandoning the use Of
the telegraph.
The two systems have been used side
by side heretofore, as the same wires
can be used for both, but the investiga-
ton of the committee has shown that
the telephone is so far superior that
there is little object in retaining the
telegraph except for commercial pur-
poses. The main advantages, accord,
ing to members Of the committee, are
in the saving in time and in the fact
that the telephone can be used by any
one.
The investigation Of the possibilities
Of the telephone and the decision to
recommend it, as standard instru-
ment, is the direct result of the work
ings Of the nine hour law. This made
it necessary for the roads to employ
three instead Of two operators at many
stations, and to employ 5000 additional
men, increasing their expenses by over
$10,000,000 year. AS the Order of
Railway Telegraphers has refused to
allow it's members to instruct student
operators it was in many cases difficult
to secure the new men and the roads
Immediately turned to the telephone as
a possible remedy for the situation.
A storm of opposition from the tele-
grapher's union is expected to result,
as thousands Of operators will be com
PEELED eventually to seek new employ
ment or accept positions at reduced
wages as telephone operators. A new
field of EN- ployment for women will al
so be opened up, as the new system is
extended, as we'll as for superannuated
employees of the railroads in other de
partments.
The Northwestern is now operating
it's lines as far as Baraboo, Wis, by
telephone; the Illinois Central is using
this system as far as Cairo, ILL.,; the
st. Paul road is using over 200 miles
of telephone wires for dispatching
and the Burlington has about 15C
miles in use.

TAKES CHARGE SOON
The Rev. Fred IogIey to Begin
His Work as Rector Of ST.
Matthews Next Week
HAS HAD A UNIQUE CAREER

The Rev. Fred Ingley, who recently
accepted call to the pastorate Of St.
Matthews church in this city, will be-
gin his duties in the parish next Tues
day, and on Sunday he will say fare
we'll to the parish at Braddock, Pa.
The people Of St. Mafy's church at
Braddock have made every possible eff
fort to retain 4ur. Ingley in that place
but he believes that Kenosha will offer
him a. wider field for labor and has mott
fed the vestry Of the Kenosha church
that he will begin his work here on De-
cember the first.
The new rector of St. Matthew s has
had a unique career. He was born in
England thirty years ago and came as
child to this country. He was edu-
Gated in the schools of Pittsburg and at
the age of IL years was licensed as a
lay reader in that city. AS a layman he
established missions in several of the
towns in the diocese Of Pittsburg. At
this time he was employed in the of
fees of the Pennsylvania Railway com
pany in which employment he continued
for more than ten years. Then he en-
tered the Philadelphia Divinity School
and studied for holy orders, graduating
with honors as a member of the class
of 1906 He was ordained as a clergy
man shortly after graduation and en-
tered at once in charge Of St. Mary Is
church at Bradd dock. In six months he
built it up so that it was received into
the convention as regularly recognized
parish.
In his work as a clergyman he has
been very successful in interesting bust
ness men and men connected with great
! industries in his work. He has made q
study Of the best way to reach this
great body Of men. Kenosha has q
large number of these men who are not
affiliated with any church organization
and it is thought that the coming q
Mr.. Ingley next week will result il
many of these men being brought into
st. Matthew's parish.

We would like to see one session of
the County Board at which the taxes
were equalized without any wrangle
over the amounts to be borne by the
county and city, but that is lot to
expect in this imperfect world. If
the assessment throughout the county
was full value one as is required
under the present law the equalization
of the taxes would be a matter of SIM
pie mathematics and in this connection
it may be said that the supervisor of
assessments is due to pay little more
attention to some Of the towns in the
county. We are not prepared to say
that the, assessment of the city is too
high, but if the proposed equalization
was based on assessment values in the
county it looks very much as if some
Of those values were too low. A great
effort has been made in the. city to get
the assessed values up where they be-
long under the Iull value assessment
law and it has succeeded pretty well
but if the effect of obeying the law is
that the city is to bear more than its
just proportion Of the taxes it may be
policy to go back to the old system
In reason the city cannot keep going
up while everything else is going down

WILL ORDER NO QUARANTINE
Not Afraid That Infected Cattle Will
be Shipped Into Wisconsin

Gov Davidson will authorize no quar-
antine to prevent cattle from New York
Pennsylvania from being shipped into
this state.
These two states which are now en-
gagged in war TO stamp out an epidemic
of foot and mouth disease which has
broken out among the livestock have
been quarantined by the federal authori-
ties and a number of western states
have taken the extra precautions of
raising another barrier against the i'm
portation of infected meat. Among the
latter is Illinois, Gov. Deneen having
ordered the quarantine Tuesday.
Both Gov. Davidson and Secretary of
Agriculture j. M True are sure that no
quarantine is necessary here on account
of the stringent law which requires a
strict veterinary examination of all eat
tie imported into Wisconsin for either
breeding or slaughter.
"The law in Wisconsin is very
strict,' said Gov Davidson. "All cat
tie brought in here must be tested and
the state sanitary board sees that this
rule is enforced. / don It think that a
quarantine like the one in Illinois is
necessary under the sanitary regula-
tions for imported cattle. I have heard
of no such diseases except in the east
ern states.

Mr.. Taft is displaying the same readi-
ness to take the people into his conf
dence that is characteristic Of President
Roosevelt and his first clash with the
obstructionists in Washington has
shown them that the blame for any
failure to carry out the tariff revision
pledges Of the Republican party is go
ing to be put where it belongs. Mr..
Taft believes that his administration is
pledged to a real revision of the tariff
not make-beieve one and there is
to be no lodging if he can help it.
Furthermore he has served notice that
the light is to be made in the open.
