Collector of Customs George Hale
has received letter from William H.
Devos, collector of customs for this
district ordering him to warn the own
ers of motor boats in Kenosha against
violating the law in regard to having

ed the enforcement of the law to the

ply with it at once. Copies of the law
may be secured by addressing the col

5000 and while the government is not
seeking to make prosecutions it has
sent out a warning that the people
owning these boats may have due
notice of approaching danger of
prosecution.

VISIT RACINE HOSPITAL
Committee of the County Board Make
Summer Visit to Racine Hospital

The special committee of the Keno
sha County Board consisting of Super
visors John I. Yule, Charles DIETRICH
and John Betting made their summer
visit of inspection to the Racine Hos
pital for the insane on Tuesday after
noon spending the entire afternoon at
the hospital. The committee found
the institution in excellent condition
and the patients being well cared for
under the new management. There
are at the present time forty-nine in
sane patients from Kenosha county in
the Racine hospital and the recent
order of the Board providing for the
collection of the patients in the Ra
cine hospital has been well carried out.
At the present time there are but FIVE
chronic insane patients from this
county in other hospitals of the state
and these will be removed to Racine
just as soon as arrangements can be
made for their transfer. The county
has a number of patients at the Win
nebago and Mendoza hospitals, out
these are not chronic cases and they
will be left at the hospitals pending
their restoration to citizenship.

BROWN HERE MONDAY
Keuosha To Have Opening Lee.
ture in Fight Against Tuber.
CuIosis Monday Evening
LECTURE TO INTEREST ALL

Kenosha is to have part in the
great war that is being made for the
prevention of the spread of consump
tion and other forms of tuberculosis
and on next Monday evening a great
illustrated lecture will be given at
the Rhode Opera House at which time
the Rev. Harvey Dee Brown, former
pastor Of the First Baptist church and
candidate for governor at the last
general election, will be the speaker.
DR.. Brown has given a great deal Of
time to studying the problems of pre-
venting the spread of tuberculosis and
his lecture is sent out by the Wiscon-
sin committee in charge of this great
fight to save the lives of the people
of the state. The lecture is of inter
est to every man, woman and child in
Kenosha. The work of the Wisconsin
committee has received the highest
praise from the national and interna-
tional associations and it is declared
that everywhere the state exhibit has
been shown by DR.. Brown new en-
thusiasm has been instilled into the
fight. This is not a technical lecture,
but plain matter of fact talk of the
best possible means for preventing the
spread of the disease. During the
past year consumption in its various
forms has killed more people in Keno
sha than all the contagious diseases
put together. It has claimed more
victims than the natural failing due
to old age. It is the scourge of Ke-
nosRa as well as other cities today and
there is no man or woman in the city
who should not know how to care for
the friend who is so unfortunate as
to be victim Of the disease and at
the same time save himself from con
tracing it.

NAMES RACINE MAN
Capt. George Rickeman of Racine
Is Named as Game Warden
by Governor Davidson
HAD WARM ENDORSEMENTS

Gov Davidson late Tuesday after
noon appointed Capt. George W..
Rickeman of Racine state game war
den under the new law to succeed j..
W. Stone. Capt Rickeman, as a
member of the Wisconsin troops, took
part in the Spanish American war and
during the last school year has been
doing post graduate work at the uni
versity. He was warmly recommend
ed for the position by Assemblyman
Wallace Ingalls, of Racine and other
leading men from the southeastern
part of the state.
The appointment Of Mr.. Rickeman
ends hot controversy for the Office
lin which several candidates have been
mentioned for the position. William
Haslam of Appleton, it is said, was
one Of those favorably considered for
the position and he had number of
friends who worked in his behalf
Mr.. Rickeman will succeed Game
Warden Stone who has been unable
to give much of his time during the
last six months to the Office because
of illness. Mr.. Stone created some
what of a stir before the senatorial
investigating committee at Madison
when he testified concerning the fund
raised among game wardens which he
told had been turned over TO Gov.
Davidson.
captain Rickeman is widely known
among people in Kenosha and Racine
and his appointment gives general
satisfaction here. He has not been
connected with any of the political
factions in the state and it is declared
that his appointment by the governor
will result in new life being instilled
into the work Of the department.
Game Warden Rickeman owes his ap-
pointment largely to the work of As
semblyman Wallace ingalls, of Racine
county. He was first named by In
gals as candidate for the Office when
it became known that Stone would not
be re-appointed and the Racine assem-
blyman brought strong pressure from
the legislature to bear upon the gov
|ernor to secure the appointment.

Annual Graduation Exercises of
Rural Schools Held at Pad.
docks Lake on Tuesday
YEAR A SUCCESSFUL ONE
Graduates of the Forty Schools in the
County Give Interesting Pro :
gram After Which Diploo
mas Are Presented

The annual graduation exercises of
the schools of Kenosha county were
held at the Old Settlers grounds at
Paddock's Lake on Tuesday and the
largest crowd ever seen at any COM
meneement exercises Of the county
schools was in attendance. Fully
Seven hundred people turned out to
listen to the interesting program rem
dered by the members Of the class Sc
lected from the different schools. The
program began at il clock in the
morning and lasted until O'Clock in
the afternoon and many interesting
and enjoyable recitations and musical
selections were given by the members
of the class. At the close of the
program County superintendent John
J. Kerwin presented diplomas to
eighty-seven graduates. The class is
an exceedingly large one and forty
schools IN the county were represented
among the members. The certificates
of graduation admit the graduates to
the Kenosha High School and to the
high school at Wilmot.
The graduation exercises marked
the closing of the most successful year
in the history of the rural schools of
the county. Nearly all of the schools
showed an increase in attendance this
year and the work that is being done
is just about the same as is done in
the graded schools of the city with
the addition of a splendid course in
agriculture. Many Of the graduates
of the county schools will be regis
tered as students in the Kenosha High
School next year and it is pretty GER
tain chat at least twenty Of the
eightyseven graduates will be able to
continue their school work in Keno
sha. A large number of the gradu-
ates from the schools in the western
part of the county will be students at
the Wilmot High School next year.
Plans for the building Of free high
schools in other towns in The county
were discussed at the graduation exer-
cises, but it is not probable that any
Of these plans will be carried cut be-
fore the opening of the school year in
1910. School patrons in both Somers
and Pleasant Prairie seem to be favor
able to the erection of high schools
and as these plans have been under
consideration for more than year it
is thought that they will materialize
before another year is over. Several
joint district schools are also being
proposed ghe state is ready to offer
aid for these high schools provided
rbs people of the towns show suf-
{ ont interest in the movement.

HUFFS ARE HUFFY
Brother Brings Suit Against Brother
Charging Slander

There is trouble in the Huff family
in the town of Salem and William
Huff, through his attorney, John c..
Slater, has begun an action for SANDER
against his brother Charles Huff. The
complaint in the action alleges that
Charles Huff has mahciously circulated
false stories in regard to his brother
William by declaring that he put water
in milk which he offered for sale in
Chicago and that he was arrested and
fined 5000 and costs for selling i'm
spure milk. William Huff declares that
he was never arrested and that he
never watered the milk, but that the
stories told by the brother have been
given such wide publicity that they
have damaged him to the amount of
thousand dollars and he asks damages
to this amount. The suit will proba-
bly, be tried in the Municipal Court at
the July term.

WAIVED EXAMINATION
Chicago Book Agent Held in Bonds OF
$500 to Answer Charges in Court

j. 0. Williams, the Chicago book
agent arrested on Monday night on a
charge of taking indecent liberties
with Lorreta Federspiel, an eight
year-old girl, was arraigned before
Judge Randall in the Municipal Court
late Tuesday afternoon and waived ex-
animation and was held to answer the
charges at the July term of the court
Williams is a complete puzzle to the
officers and he revealed nothing in re-
gard to his past life or to his family
in Chicago. He refused to make any
statement as to his defense to the
charges against him and simply turned
his business over to a man who had
been working for him and went to
Jail to await trial. Williams appears
to be man of the better classes, is
well dressed and is evidently mem
Der of a good family. He was held
in bonds Of $500.

TURNED OVER AS DEsERTER
Edward Rentz Must Stand Trial on
Charge of DESERVING From the Army


Edward Rentz, arrested in Kenosha
early Friday morning on charge of
having passed worthless check on a
Kenosha boarding house keeper, was
taken to Fl. Sheridan late Friday af-
ternoon and turned over to the com
mandant there for trial on charges Of
desertion. It is alleged that Rentz
deserted on June 5th. The soldier was
deeply penitent and claimed that he be-
lieved that the fact that he still re-
tanned his uniform left him the chance
to return to his company, but it is
probable that he will have to pay the
usual penalty of the deserter. The
charges against Rentz in Kenosha will
probably never be brought before the
court as the United States government
will probably hand out to Rentz all the
punishment that is necessary. Rentz
declared to the Kenosha officers that
he had been drunk for the past two
weeks and had not known what he was
doing. Chief 0 Hare and Officer Fred
Bradley will received the reward Of
$50 offered for the arrest of Rentz as
q deserter.

ICE MOUSE BURNED
TTodman-M1ller Ice House OH Lake
Elizabeth Destroyed by Fire

The big ice house of the Hoffman
Miller Ice Co., located on Elizabeth
lake at Twin Lakes and one of the
largest ice houses in the county, was
completely destroyed by fire on Mon
day. The loss from the fire will be in
excess of $4,000 and there is only
partial insurance. The origin of the
fire is complete mystery and the
blaze was spreading to all parts of the
big frame building when it was dis
covered The house was one of the
largest in the lake region of the
county and had capacity of 10000
tons of ice. 1t was built in 1907 by
Thomas Scott of this city for the use
of the Independent Ice Company of
Kenosha and was filed by that com
pany last winter. Not a pound of ice
had been removed from it and it is
claimed that the ice was of the finest
quality. A portion of the ice may be
saved, but it will be of little value
except for cooling purposes.
Thomas Scott, the Kenosha man in
terested in the company, sold his in
terest to Grin Wright of Chicago less
than month ago and the Kenosha
company at that time made contract
with the Haegele Company of Chicago
to furnish ice for Kenosha during the
remainder of the summer. The ice
house burned for hours and today it is
stated that portion of the walls are
still standing, but they are so charred
that the loss will be a complete one.
1t is probable that the ice which was
in the house will be shipped into Chi
cago at once and that the house will
be rebuilt. before the opening Of the
new ice harvest season.

Circuit Court Confirms PFeIimin.
airy Report of Commission and
Orders Work To Proceed
COMMISSION TO DIG DITCH
No Opposition is Proposed After
Fifteen Years of Fighting over
Che Opening Of Famous
49, D,
Bristol Ditch

The fight over the famous Dutch
Gap'' in the town of Bristoleseems to
be at an end for after fifteen. years of
hghting over the digging of the ditch
there was no opposition proposed to it
Tuesday when the hearingk of the
report of the Commission named to
look into the matter was taken up In
the Circuit Court and Judge Belden,
after approving the preliminary report
of the Commission, ordered that the
Commission proceed at once to the
work of building the ditch. UP to the
last minute il was thought possible
that the old fight which has been car
ried on before the Town Board of Bris-
toll, in the court and out of the courts
for more than decade, would be re-
newed, but when the call was sent for
DIRECTORS to the project not a. response
was made and without any ceremony
the preliminary report of the Commits
sion was confirmed by Judge Belden.
In the report the commissioners held
that the digging of the ditch would
result in a great benefit to many peo>
pie in the town of Bristol, that the
ditch was regarded as necessary for
the protection and preservation of the
healthful conditions of the people of
the town and that the benefits derived
by the property owners interested
would largely exceed the cost of the
ditch.
The Commission is composed of D.
j. Vincent of Salem, Harding, Crow of
Pleasant Prairie and James Norm of
the town of Somers and these men
will have charge of the work of Dig
ging the ditch. It is planned to have
the work completed by the latter part
of this yeos in order that the humid
reds if not thousands of acres of land
to be reclaimed by the ditch will be
ready for cultivation during the COM
ing year.
The Commission will at once meet
to view the land and assess the bene-
fits and damages to be charged against
the various pieces and parcels of prop
erty and this report will probably be-
filed with the court within the next
two or three weeks. Anticipating q
favorable action on the report Of the
Commission plans have already been
made for the actual digging of the
ditch and it is thought that the con-
tracts will be let before the first of
August.
The people interested in the con-
struction, of the "Dutch Gap" cla;n
that it will affect more than three
thousand acres of land in the town of
Bristol and nearly all of this land is
included in the drainage district re-
Gently formed under the orders of the
court. It is claimed that more than
1000 acres of land which is now prac-
tically valueless on account of its be-
ing marshy will be reclaimed and that
the digging Of the ditch will increase
the value of property in the town Of
Bristol to the amount of more than 2
hundred thousand dollars.
