Just chen the door Of the house
burst open and little John Dirk, en-
veloped in flames, rushed out, having
started to go to his mother. The
Mortified man overlook the child and
stripped him OF his clothing and in
the meantime neighbors had rushed
into the building and found the little

Everything known to medical skill
was done In the effort to save the
children's lives, but they both died a

1t appears that the children thought
they would roast some corn and they
took the kerosene can in to start the
fire and caused the explosion. Am

Former Health Resorts
STATE MUST TEACH CURE


When physicians and sufferers from
consumption learned that the disease
was being cured in Colorado, California
and various southern state, it was be-
heved that the cures were due to won
derful but not understood property of
the climate or atmosphere. People from
all over the country focked west and
south, people Of wealth and people who
had insufficient means to pay for the
the ordinary necessities Of life. The
latter were often depending upon the
small income from such work as they
could pick up, hopeful outlook that
has cost untold suffering and want
1t has been found since, that it
WASH t the climate that made cures pos
sible, but that it was the open outdoor
life. In the earlier experience of the
German sanatoria, later in the Adiron-
dack mountains, and now in all parts
of the northern half Of the United
States, it has been positively proven
that instead of winter treatment being
impossible in the very cold sections, it
has on the contrary been proven that
the winter results arc if anything bet
ter than the summer.
The experience has been that the in
MIGRATING cold has a tonic effect as
apparent in the outdoor living consump-
tive as in those who are in ordinary
good health, ard it is a common ex-
perience that the northerner almost in
variably feels more vigorous during the
winter than during the summer. The
consideration that those cured in this
climate can remain in this climate is of
the greatest practical Importance to the
normal family.
he south and west no longer welcome
the consumptive-some communities
have been SO burdened that they have
passed stringent exclusion laws for their
own protection and otherwise discourag
ed in every possible way the advent Of
the health seeker. Other communities
which exist only on the revenue Of pa
tients, have often been so infected by
careless and unrestrained spitters that
available rooms and residences are alb
solutely unfit for habitation. Even at
exorbitant prices, it is impossible in
many instances, to buy the essential
fresh eggs and milk in some of these So
called health resorts.
The individual suffering from tuber-
culosis needs to be free from worry and
ordinary cares, so that he may use all
Of his strength to fighting the progress

RECORD ON LAKES
United States Reports for the
Season Of 1907 Give Some
Interesting Figures
SHIPPING WAS INCREASED

Lake commerce during the 1907 sea-
son, as measured by the volume Of ship
ments from the various lake ports and
reported by the bureau Of statistics of
the department Of commerce and labor
reached the unprecedented figure of
83,387,919 net tons. Advance sheets Of
the report have just been issued. This
total is almost 10 per cent. larger than
the corresponding 1906 total and about
20 per cent. in excess of the 1905 ship
ments. The increase is due mainly to
the larger ore and coal shipments,
though the movement Of grain and mis-
cellaneous merchandise likewise shows
larger totals than for the preceding sea-
sons, the only items showing smaller
shipments being lumber and -four.
Westbound traffic was made up large
ly Of soft coal shipments from Lake
Erie ports. The hard coal shipments
4,079,177 tons proceeded mainly from
Buffalo the destination being largely
the head Of the lake, ports Iron ore
shipments by lake for the year amount
ed to 40,727,972, exclusive Of about
275,000 exported to Canada. The larg-
est shipping ports were Duluth, West
Harbor, Superior, Ecanaba, Ashland,
Marquette and Presque Isle. Over SO
per cent Of the shipments are credited
to Duluth and Superior.
The shipments Of oats originating
mainly from Milwaukee, Manitowoc
and Chicago, show a slight decrease.
Other grains, corn and wheat, show an
increase. Of the total corn shipments
Of 1885, 800 bushels, nearly 81 per cent
originated in Chicago. Flour ship
ments from Duluth, Superior, Milwau-
kee and Chicago were also below the
last year record, being 1,314,987 net
tons, and were directed chiefly to Buff

SHERIDAN RELEASED
Man Charged With Larceny From the
Person Found "Not Guilty.

John Sheridan, a well known man
about town arrested some time ago on
charge of stealing q watch from
Dewey Shannon was tried by jury in
the Circuit Court Friday afternoon and
the jury after considerating the evil
dence for less than an hour returned
a verdict of acquittal. The fact that
Sheridan was SO intoxicated at the time
he was accused Of stealing the watch
was largely responsible for his release
All of the witnesses in the case testi-
fed to the fact that Sheridan was drunk
and he admitted that he did not know
what he was doing and that he never
knew he took the watch which was
found in his possession when he was ar
rested. Attorney Calvin Stewart de-
Tended Sheridan and the case lasted less
than three hours. It was one of the
shortest criminal cases on record in
the Circuit Court for this county.

KENOSHA GIRL MISSING
Anna Martin Formerly Of This City
Disappears From Chicago

Chicago papers state that Miss Anna
Martin, a girl twenty two years of age
and former resident Of Kenosha is
myste1iously missing from her home on
Wood street in Chicago The young
woman disappeared on last Monday and
has not as yet been heard from. She
was boarding at the Wood street house
and left the house to 60 to a factory
on the west side Of Chicago to seek work.
She did not return. It is claimed that
the young woman had been keeping
company with young man from this
city and it is thought possible that the
mystery connected with her diappear-
ance will be cleared up by the announce
ment of the marriage of the young
people. Notwithstanding this fact the
Chicago friends Of the young woman
are beginning to be apprehensive and
they have asked the police of Chicago
to look for her.

Unemployed Without Anything To
Support Them Proving Cost
y to CITY and County
HAVE HoARDEO SAVINGS
But Money Has Been Sent to Native
Lands and They Now Demand
Support from Pauper Commit
tees and County Agent

With the factories running short time
and short handed, aliens of Kenosha
who are not skilled mechanics but are
employed as laborers and roustabouts in
factories are unable to obtain employ
ment and as a result they become de-
pendent on the city or county. There
is talk Of deporting the many aliens
who are dependent on the city or ccun-
ty. There is law which compels the
steamship companies that bring these
people to this country to return them
if within the first year Of their resi-
dence they become impoverished. It
is claimed that if these aliens who are
dependent upon the city or county were
rounded up and sent to their native
homes the city or county would be
ahead.
When the people have worked they
send nearly all Of their earnings to the
old country and there it is placed in
banks to their credit to await the re-
turn of the owner who only goes to
America to earn q thousand or two dol
lars and then returns to his native land
to live in comfort for the balance of
his life. Out Of their wages, be it
$3.50 or $1.75 day, these aliens keep
barely enough to live on in the most
economical style and the balance is
placed with banker to be sent to the
old country. When these aliens are
+hro1up o,,+ of an NJ ox1,,oo,o+ +Lox, oro
without money or food and they call
on the city or county to aid them even
though they have money on deposit in
banks in their native country.
Some Of the people who are now de-
pendent on the city and county have
not been in Kenosha year but their
faces are well known at the money
order window at the post Office and it
is known that since coming here they
have sent hundreds of dollars to friends
in their native land These people
make absolutely no provisions for a
rainy day" and they seem to be Of
the impression that it is the duty of the
city to take good care of them This
fact has caused the city to have many
calls for help during the present winter
and hundreds Of dollars have been
spent relieving these people who proba-
bly, have bank accounts large enough
to make rhcm independent were they
now in their native land. This matter
has been laid before both city and coun-
ty officials and it is certain that the
city and county could save large
amounts Of money by insisting on the
deportation Of these foreigners. In
cases where the people have been in
kenosha for more than a year it would
be impossible for the city to do any
thing as they would be properly
charges on the city or county.

HOBOS ON A RAMPAGE
Three Men Seek To Hold Up Automo-
Die, Electric Car and Train

Ole, Electr1c Car and a Train
Three tramps out on a bender instill-
ed little real excitement into life on
the west side late Thursday afternoon
when they sought to hold up an auto
mobile, an electric car and then capped
the climax by tagging train. Two Of
the men, Jas. Kelley and George Nit
chcll were arrested and taken to :ail
but the third ambled away at the APP
proach of the police and escaped in
the crowd.
The men seemed to be attempting to
break into Jail for the remainder Of the
winter and they had been begging along
Park street for several hours before
they started to enact their star roles as
anto, electric car, and train robbers.
The men then stopped an automobile
but they failed to get anything and
the motorman in charge Of the electric
car passed them without even so much
as putting on a brake. Then they
tagged train Oh the Western division
and the Jrainmen directed the police
to arrest them. The two men are still
in Jail and they will probably be ar
raigned late this afternoon on charges
of vagrancy.

LEAGUE WILL MAKE TEST
AEti-Saloon League Says Cities Must
Issue Licenses to individuals

Saloon League Says Cities Must
Issue Licenses to Individuals
The Wisconsin AntiS Saloon league
proposes to make test in Wisconsin
of the question of whether it is lawful
for saloon licenses to be granted to
other than individual persons. The
point as to the legality of issuing IL
censes to corporations was recently de-
cided by the supreme court Of Iowa,
which held that the license was a grant
to person and could not be issued to
an impersonal entity such as corpora
ton. The Iowa court did not pass
specifically upon the legality of part
nership, licenses but it is believed by
Some lawyers who have read the deci-
sion and examined the Wisconsin law
and authorities that in this state a test
would surely result in laying down the
rule that 10 common council can legally
issue liquor license to other than an
individual person.
One of the purposes Of the Anti-sa-
loon league in establishing this rule is
to reach the practice of brewers hold
ing licenses and placing in charge
agents. This practice, it is said, has
been a source of evil in that irrespon-
sihle and sometimes disreputable men
are placed in charge Of saloons.
1t is said that the case on which the
test will be made VII be developed in
Milwaukee.

was just about to ask If she might see Sister Ruth. when behind the maid in the dark of the low passage-way ap- peared the tall. slim figure of silver woman. Truly a silver woman! The first flash of Stephens thought was correct. White-haired, whitehead, white-capped. white-kerchisfed; in a plain-cut dress of light-gray silk. made without adornment of any kind. and with that pleated fuliness below the belt which made for decency as well as elegance in the eyes of the woman of a past generation. The whole ensem- bie was as piece of old silver. The lines of her face were very dignified, very sweet. very beautiful. stephen felt at once that she was in the pres ence of no common woman. There was in her manner a gracious gentleness. the outcome of more than few gem erations of conscious power. as seeing young girl alone she came forward.
 stephen looked an admiration which all her Quaker garments could not for bid the other to feel. She was not the
 first to speak; in such a noble pres ence the dignity of Stephen's youth
 imperativsly demanded silence. if not humility. So she waited. The Silver Lady. for so stephen ever after held her
