MUST TURN OVER BOOKS
Old Fight in School District Gets
Into Court

The old fight which has made trou-
BILE in School District No. 5 in the
Town of Pleasant Prairie for the last
six months, reached the Circuit Court
this morning when Judge Belden issued
an alternative writ Of mandamus to
force William McKeon to turn over
the books of the treasurer of the as
trict to Charles Gantzer. McKeon ac-
cording to the petition of Gantzer on
which the writ was issued, was elected
treasurer of the school district at a
meeting held in July 1906, but failed
to file a proper bond and at a special
meeting held in August Gantzer was
elected to the office and fled bond in
keeping with the law Since that time
Gantzer has been seeking to get pos
session of The books and other records
Of the treasurer, but he alleges that
McKeon has declined to turn them over
to him. He declares that on this ac-
count the district is now entirely out
of money and cannot support the
schools.
The writ is returnable on Feb. 5tn
and as there are two well defined fac
tons in the district it is expected that
there will be some excitement when the
hearing comes up n court.

NATURE SPARES


What a fortunate provision of nature
It is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be it's
grief to discover, in the height of its
blooming glory, that canker fed at it's
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women, but thanks to the in
vestigations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading drug

Until the corning of Chiswick the
camp lad ta4ea it for granted that
some day Lefty Chester would marry
Henry Bruce. The two had grown up
together in the east, and Bruce had
come west with Letty's father In
search of health and fortune
Gordon Chester had found some
small wealth, while Bruce had found
the health he sought. Then Chester
had died, leaving his little fortune in
the hands Of Bruce as executor.
The camp locked to see a marriage
follow quickly after Letty's year Of
mourning, but no such announcement
was made. Then the arrival Of CHS
wick OH the scene put a new complex
ion on affairs.
Down at the Spread Eagle dance
hall the women called him ,'cute"
Men applied other and less compliment
tary adiectives, but Lefty looked on
him with favor.
He was the sort Of man who attracts
impressionable women only about
five feet six in height, but he was
natty and trim Of person and carried
himself with a little swagger that al
ways impresses the unthinking.
He was neatly groomed and in every
way the antithesis Of six foot Henry
Bruce. whose clothes tapped about his
lank form and who walked with a
slight stoop, as most-tolI men do.
ChisWick had come TO camp as the
agent fer supply firm. The camp
had grown in the last few years, and,
though no bonanza strike had adyer-
tised the place to the rest of the
world, there was gold in plenty in the
mountains aud every prospect that the
place would continue to Grow.

He knew the name of the man he

He did not tell her so, however, but
beat about the bush, as they do on the

At the same time, when this story
opens, they were having an emotional

''You know well enough" he replied
bitterly

But you do, and you do nothing to

pleaded, for, though she might be
frisky with George, she did not wish to
lose her grip on him entirely.
ooh, George George, why are you
not frank with me?' she pleaded again
Georges face became ashen gray at
her fateful words.
'That is it!'' he Kissed, the awful Ere

The $4,000 Red Cross Stamps
Sold Here Makes kenosha
Fourth in Sale of Stamps
WILL HELP LOCAL COMMITTEE
State Committee Decides to Pay Tween
ty Per Cent Of Stamp Sales to
Where Stamps Were Sold
Honor for Amigo

The state committee in charge of the
sale of Red Cross stamps in Wisconsin
for the purpose Of raising fund for
the fighting of the White Plague, is
busy preparing a report to be submitted
to the people of the state, but there was
so much work in connection with the
closing up Of the sale Of the stamps
that it will be several weeks before
the report is ready to be given to the
public. The city Of Kenosha will rank
third in the number Of stamps sold by
cities Of the third class. There were
over million and half stamps sold in
the state and Milwaukee Of course led
in the sale. The total sale in Milwau-
kee has not as yet been fully computed,
but it is expected that it will be over
half million. Madison led the minor
cities Of the state with Lacrosse in
second place and Kenosha in third place
The little city Of Amigo has the honor
of having sold the largest number Of
the stamps in proportion to her popula-
ton.
The report shows that the Kenosha
committee managed to dispose Of just
5000 worth Of stamps. This means
10000 Of the Red Cross stickers. Madi-
son sold more than hundred and fifty
thousand and Lacrosse was close to the
100000 mark. Racine, Superior, Osh-
kosh, Appleton and many of the other
cities in the class with Kenosha fell
far below the pace set in Kenosha.
The committee has decided that 20
per cent of all money raised in the vari-
Gus cities shall be turned over to the
local committees for strictly local work
and under this ruling $3.50 will be added
to the funds of the Kenosha committee
of which DIR. G.. Windesheim is the
chairman. The remaining $3.50 paid by
Kenosha to the fund will be placed in
the great fund that has been raised for
the state wide fight against consump-
ton. The plans for the expenditures
of the money have not as yet been
made, but it is certain that the money
will be expended wisely. The commit
tee plans to have the Wisconsin exhibit
which was one Of the big features Of
the national congress at Washington
sent to all of the larger cities Of the
state and left in them for several days
in order to give all the people chance
to examine this exhibit and post Them
selves on just what is being done to
stamp out consumption In addition to
this the work among the school child
rem will be continued and the local com
mittees will make an effort to reach
the adults through the agency Of the
children
This work has already been given a
good start and the work started will be
continued in Kenosha The local com
mittee will have a good fund to start
the work this year and it is certain
that it will receive many contributions
during the year.

SMALL BALANCE EXPECTED
Indications That a State Tax Will be
Necessary for Next Year Begin
TO Pile Up-Legislature
Costly Luxury

Secretary Of State Frear Is biennial
report to the legislature of the fnan-
cial affairs of the state discloses some
interesting facts, particularly relating
to the estimated receipts for the gen
eral funds of the current biennial peri
cd, 1909-10. The figures disclosed will
not, perhaps, be particularly crafty
ing to members ambitious for appro-
priations, and yet, when a comparison
is made with long series Of years it
appears that the revenues of the com
monwealth keep even pace with the
ordinary expenditures, possibly gaining
a little.
The report shows that the total re-
ceipts for the general fund for the
period just past were:
1907 i. go. .f.......... $6,031 $50 Az
1908 ................. 8,786.680.89
Total ................. .$14, SIS, 259.8S
The large increase of 1908 over 1907
was due principally to the receipts
from taxes, the income from fees, oil
inspection and miscellaneous sources,
showing a falling off in the previous
year.
Then Secretary Frear gives an esti-
mate Of the receipts during the cur
rent biennial period ending December
81, 1908, as follows:
1909 ............... $6,154, 1893 90
