The county Jail plans are just about
where they were when the Board of
Supervisors adjourned and the proha-
bilities are that the Board will have
entirely new building and spending a
considerable amount for repairs The
taxpayers will appreciate the efforts of
the committee having this matter in
charge to save them some money, but
if in order to get the approval of the
State Board Of Control Of the proposed
changes it will be necessary to make
such extensive alterations that the
cost will run away up into the thous-
ands, the Board will probably decide
to go ahead and build an entirely new
building tnat will comply in every re-
spect with every requirement Of the
State Board The State Board has
been unsparing in its criticism of con
ditions at the jail and it is not likely
that the Board will pass any plans
that do not do away entirely with all
the defects complained Of in the past
and that viii require the practical re-
building of the whole structure. TAX
ing into consideration the attitude Of
the State Board and the changes it
will undoubtedly insist on it may be
cheaper in the long run to build from
the ground up instead of spending all
the money needed to rebuild the Jail
and then having nothing in particular
when it is finished.

Two kenosha Co. Dairymen Ar
rested for Offering ''Scalped''
Milk for Sale on Saturday
ARE GIVEN MINIMUM ZINES
Agent Secures Many Samples of Milk
and Further Arrests are Expected
Before the End of the
Present Week


Federal officials struck terror to
dairymen in the western part Of Keno
|sha last Saturday when they caused
the arrest Of G. E. Williams of Genoa
Junction and J. G. Kotzenberg of Bias
sets Station on charges of violating
the government rules in regard to the
sale of milk. The men were hurried
to Milwaukee where they were ar
raigned in the United States Court
where they pleaded guilty to the
charges against them and a fine Of $25
and costs of the action was assessed in
each case. The law makes possible a
much heavier penalty, but their friends
urged that this was the first offense
of the two men and the court taking
this fact into consideration gave them
the minimum fine under the statute
The fines and costs were paid.
The two men were charged with what
is known under the law as scalpingo
milk. Inls is one of the most common
offenses discovered by the federal in
spectors. The men are alleged to, have
skinned portion Of the cream. from
the milk they offered Tor sale and this
fact made it fall below the government
standard.
The inspectors started their work
in this county on Friday morning when
they went out from Kenosha over the
Kenosha and Rockford division of the
Northwestern. They stopped. at nearly
every milk platform IN this county and
many samples of milk were secured.
These were taken to Milwaukee fon
Friday night and examined in the gov
eminent laboratories there. The sam
piles of the two men arrested were
among the first examined by the ex-
perts and warrants were at once issued.
Other samples are still being examined.
It was stated by. one of the deputy
United States marshals on Saturday
evening that there would be three
more arrests as result of the test of
the milk samples now in the hands Of
the officers and there is considerable
uneasiness among the dairy farmers.
It is expected that # there are any
further arrests that they will be made
today. The fact that there has been
no further warrants issued seems to
indicate that the great bulk of milk
sold in this county meets the govern
, ment regulations. -

One of the most startling things
brought out in the senatorial invest ga
ton at Madison is the discrepancy
between what the paid agents Of the
candidates actually got and what they
thought they ought to get. Most Of US
think that there was altogether too
much money spent in this campaign
rs it was conducted, but at the valua-
tions the men who handled the money
are putting on their services it will
take a million dollars to finance the
next one.

About the most important business
before the legislature and that which
is likely to have the most far reaching
results in the future of any transacted
at this session is the passage of the law
providing for state aid for highways
and it is understood that this good
roads bill is to go through before aid
journment. Our legislators have the
experiences of a number of the eastern
states which have been in the road
building business for years to help
them in framing this law so that they
will not be confronted with any very
new problems. About all the commit
tee that draws up the final bill will
have to do is to take what has proved
to be the best of the laws of the states
which already have highway laws and
embody them in the law for this state.
Kenosha county is as much interested
in this law as any in the state and the
progressive men Of the county are hop
ing that the legislature will act on this
measure in time to permit of some work
being done under it this summer.

It is reported from Madison that an
effort is to be made to revive the bill
defeated earlier in the session which
will allow cities to do ordinary plumb
ing When the bill first came up for
consideration Senator Gaylor argued
that while municipalities now operate
and control sewage and water works
plants the connections from the streets
into the houses are made by the plumb
ers generally at larger expenses than
necessary and that both from a fnan-
cial and sanitary standpoint cities
should be allowed to do this work and
that there should be general system
of inspection. We agree with him that
cities should exercise the most rigid
supervision over this class of work, but
as for the property owners saving any
thing by having the city do the work
we do not believe that the law would
work out that way. In this city at
least the municipality always pays
more for whatever work it has done
than any individual pays for the same
work and we do not believe that the
experience of this city is very much
different from that Of others. The
theory Of the law that the city could
make contract covering all this class
of work at lower figure than an in
dividual could make for a single job
lis all right, but practically it would
not work that way and the property
owners would soon find that they were
paying as much for having the city
do the work as they would pay in
making their own contracts and there
is always a chance that through col
fusion between rascally officials and
plumbing corporations they would be
forced to pay a good deal more. Just
think what such law would mean here
if the work was done on the same
basis as one of the recent paving con-
tracts for instance. AS for getting
back at the alleged plumbing trust by
this law there is a better way. IF the
advocates Of this bill have any evi-
dence that there is such trust 1t
should be directly attacked in the Fed
eral Courts as an Illegal combination
in restraint of trade and not indirectly
through any state law.

Few cities with great natural advan-
tages make the fullest use of them, but
none of them that we have ever heard
of is so neglectful in that respect as
Kenosha which with the finest body
of fresh water in the world right at
its doors has not a single public or
private bath house for the enjoyment
of it's inhabitants. There is absolutely
no way in which the majority of its
people can enjoy bath in the lake
without violating the law and, as far
as any use or enjoyment they get out
of the lake goes Kenosha might as
well be an inland city. One of the
urgent needs Of the city is municipal
bath house, but the city. has no money
in the treasury to spend on one at
present and unless the public spirited
citizens come to the rescue we shall
have to go through another summer
without one. Plans for building a
municipal bath house have been talked
over for the past three or four years,
but the city seems to be no nearer Sc
curing this improvement than it was
in the beginning.

One thing the city should establish
either by ordinance or otherwise, is a
quiet zone surrounding the hospital.
There is altogether too much noise in
the vicinity of the hospital for the
patients to get the peace and quiet
that their condition demands and all
unnecessary noises-and most noises
come under that head-should be for
hidden within two blocks of the build
ing. Almost all othe" cities enforce
this rule of quiet in the vicinity of
their hospitals and there is no reason
why it should not be done in Kenosha.

EDUCATORS MEET.

The second annual meeting of the
Wisconsin County Agricultural and
Domestic Economy Teachers associa-
ton was held in the county agricultural
school, this city, Friday and Saturday.
The attendance was not large, but this
was more than made up in the interest
manifested in the work. Each number
on the program of course was relative
to some phase of work in the agricul
tural school, and to those who are in
terested in this feature of our public
school system, each topic was fri of
interest.
AT the conclusion of the program,
new officers were elected and the place
OF holding the next meeting was Sc
lected. F. r. Crane, principal of the
Menomonie school, was chosen presi-
dent and Miss Edith Dahlberg of Mari
nette was elected secretary, The retir-
ing president is X. l.. Hatch of Winnie
come, and the former secretary was
Miss Emma Conley of this city. Next
year the association will meet in the
new seeretary's city, Marinette.

TWO CHEAP WATCHES.

A stranger called at the iewelry store
of G. f. Dunbar Co. Saturday and repre-
senting himself as an employe of the c.
Il N. w. Ry. Co. and presenting a fairly
good story, he succeeded in getting q
gold watch without depositing any cash.
He next went to the II. S. Wright
jewelry store and by the same methods
succeeded In getting another watch.
The story he told was that he lost his
watch in the firebox of locomotive.
When ready to pay for the watch in each
instance he discovered that he had left
his pocketbook home on the piano. TO
be accommodating, THAT is the Wausau
spirit he was allowed to depart with the
watch, and his present whereabouts,
like Moses sepulchre, is unknown to
this day. Like the latter he may be in
the land of Moab.

A NEW FEATURE.

The Hotel Bells has recently intro
duced new feature for the entertain.
ment of its guests at their Sunday
dinners, which is proving very at
tractive TO its many patrons. This
innovation is none other than the call
ing ia of such voices as that of Caruso,
Scott, Schumann- Heink, Sembrich,
etc, by means of the Victor Auxeto-
phone. The Accomplishments of their
songs being played by the orchestra,
thus furnishing one of the most delight
full as well as educational entertain
ments that could be imagined. The
James Music company is responsible
for the Introduction of this new feature,
having furnished the auxetophone and
records and secured the music for the
orchestra TO play from.
