WISCONSIN STANDS HIGH
One of First States in Union in Battle
Against Tuberculosis

That Wisconsin is not behind in the
official campaign it is carrying on
against tuberculosis, is shown in re-
port just issued by the national asso-
citation for the study and prevention of
tuberculosis on legislation concerning
consumption in the United States.
Wisconsin has made careful official
study of tuberculosis through special
commission appointed in 1903. A
state sanatorium has been built at
Wales. And most important, the ma
tonal association claims, Wisconsin
has an admirable law requiring that
, tuberculosis cases be reported and
registered, as is done with other in
fictitious diseases. The laws governing
tuberculosis, bovine and human. won
for Wisconsin the first prize at the
recent international Congress ON TIL
berculosis, and have served as models
for laws in many other states.
AS compared with the other states
Wisconsin is one of the twelve states
which have laws compelling the report
ing and registration of tuberculosis
The other states are Maryland, New
York, Vermont, Washington, District of
Columbia, California, Indiana, Kansas.
Maine. Massachusetts and Utah. The
first five of these states have separate
and special laws dealing with tuber-
culosis alone. The other six, class
tuberculosis with the infectious di-
seases, and as such require it's report
ing. Wisconsin is in the latter class
but the law in this state has in add
ton several special sections pertaining
to tuberculosis.
Wisconsin is also one Of the twelve
states which now maintain tuberculo-
sis sanatoria, the others being Mas
sachusetts, New York, Iowa, Maryland,
Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri, New
Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
and Rhode Island. Besides these, in
Indiana, Ohio, New Hampshire, and
Virginia, sites have been purchased for
similar institutions, and in Massachu-
setts work has been commenced on
three state hospitals for advanced
cases in addition to the state sanato-
rum at Rutland. In Alabama and
Georgia, laws have been passed au-
thorizing and providing for the cree
tion of State Sanatoria. In Connect
cut, West Virginia, Washington, Okla
homa, Rhode Island, Texas, Oregon and
Arkansas, bills are at present before
the state legislatures asking for special
tuberculosis hospitals or sanatoria.

WILL REBUILD JAIL
Committee of County Board De.
cides Addition to Present
Building Is Best Plan
OLD BUILDING TOO VALUABLE

County Supervisors Henry Jordan
John Betting and Charles Kline, com
posing the committee in charge of the
work Of making some provision for
changes in the Kenosha county jail
met this morning and practically decid-
ed on building an addition to the pres
ent Jail and they will make this as
a recommendation to the County Board
when it meets next fall. The members
of the committee, after carefully con-
sideEing the proposition, decided that
the present Jail building was too valu-
able a building to tear down and for
this reason they decided that the only
practical plan would be to build an
addition to the west and south ends of
the present building. The addition as
proposed will be 46 by % feet in di-
mansions and most Of it will be two
stories in height This will make pos
sible the addition Of eight new cells
to the building besides a new tramp
room. It is the plan Of the committee
to leave the women IS department with
out any changes and to convert the por-
ton of the Jail now used as tramp
room into a place for the Incarceration
of juvenile prisoners. The plans pro-
pose that the new tramp room be placed
at the extreme north end of the Jail
and it will be built with view Of
using it for that purpose. The entire
south end of the addition will be used
for cells and this will almost double
the amount of cell room in the Jail.
The committee has not as yet secured
any estimate ON the cost Of the propos-
ed addition, but the members believe
that it can be provided at an expense
Of about ten thousand dollars The
cost for the building is placed at $4,000
and it is held that the steel work for
the cells cost in the neighborhood Of
$500 for each new cell provided. The
County Board has already raised $4,000
to be used in making the addition and
the committee will recommend that
the remaining money needed be raised
at the next regular meeting of the
Board

ZION GIRLS IN A HAREM
Zion City Girls Who Had Gift of
Tongues Meet With Strange Fate

The Zion City Battle Axe issued at
Zion City on Saturday has the follow
ing:
1.-THE Gift of Tongues movement
has it's sad side. About a. year ago
five men and twelve young women left
Philadelphia and New York to go and
teach the world about the real Christ.
They all had, or thought they had, the
gift Of tongues. One Of them, Mabel
Collins, about nineteen years Of age,
has just returned to Philadelphia,
completely disillusioned, and she tells
the sad story of these unsent apostles.
One girl died in Argentina, two are
working in factories in Buenos Ayres,
two are in harems in India, and one
is living with a hill tribe in India
Three of the men are laying ties on a
South American railroad; none are
using their gift of tongues. They
tried India, and they tried Argentina.
but they failed miseraply in both.
Our gift of tongues Miss Collins
says, was not from God. It was from
some devil -

FREE LUNCH WINS
Bill to Abolish Lunches in Saloons
Postponed

After a stormy debate in executive SEES
sion the assembly committee on state
affairs decided Friday afternoon to
recommend for indefinite postpone
ment the Jones bill, 439a, aboishing
free lunches in saloons, and 444a,
by Mr.. Ingram, prohibiting treating in
saloons. Two members of the commit
tee, it is understood will dissent
!, No opposition to the bills developed
in the public hearing of the commit
, tee. Mr.. Jones spoke briefly stating
his bill was introduced at the re-
quest Of citizens of Tomah, 95 per
cent. of whom had signed petitions
favoring the plan to abolish the free
lunches in the seventeen saloons Of
that city. A telegram was read from
Secretary F'itzgibbon Of the Wisconsin
Retail Liquor Dealers association in
which he voiced the Endorsement Of
1900 saloonkeepers to the bill.
w. Fl. Austin, legislative agent Of
the Wisconsin Brewers association,
said the bill had merit and his in
terests had nothing to offer in oppo
sition to it's provisions. Mr. Austin
pointed out, however, that one section
of the bill was unconstitutional be-
cause it would prohibit a saloon keeper
who resided above his saloon enter
tanning a guest at dinner.

Relatives Of Late Mary QuigIey
Protest Against Admission
OF Will in County Court
cLhIMUNDUE INFLUENcEUSED
will Disposing Of Estate Valued at Ten
Thousand Dollars Held Up on Ac-
count Of Contest by Rela-
tives of Deceased
(From Tuesday s Daily,

| Alleging that undue influence had
been used and that the testator was
incompetent at the time of the making
J Of her will Sarah Quigley, Frances
Robertson and Alice Houston fled in
the County Court this morning formal
objections TO the probate Of the will of
the late Mary Quigley, one of the
pioneer women of the city. The date
for the hearing has not as yet been
set, but the contest promises to be an
interesting one on account of the large
number of requests made in the will
and the large number Of people affected
by it. The will, which was drawn by
James Pennefeather in 1907, fails to
make any requests for the three con-
testing heirs and the property, which
is valued in the petitions at ten thous-
and dollars, is divided among a large
number Of the friends and relatives Of
the deceased. The contest is fled by
Attorneys Baker and Clarkson, who
represent the contesting heirs. It does
not make any specific allegations as to
the use of undue influences. but the
charge is a general one that this in
1uence was used by certain of the lega-
tees under the will. No supplementary
statement is made as to the facts on
which the contest is based.
The will is an unusual one, only on
account Of the large number Of people
named as benefciaries. After making
arrangements for the funeral expenses
the testator directed that 5000 be paid
to the pastors of st. James church, that
800 be expended in erecting a. monu-
ment at her grave in the old Catholic
cemetery and that $500 be spent for
the improvement Of the cemetery
Then follows requests to friends and
relatives, which take up the entire
amount Of the estate The requests
are as follows: To William P. Kimball
Of Seattle, Wash, 5000; Henry S. KIM
ball of Council Bluffs, Iowa, $500; DR..
George T. K1mball of Kenosha, $500;
Richard s.. KimbalI Of Kenosha, $500
and the household furniture Of the de-
ceased; Mrs. Catharine W. Boehn of
Baltimore, Md, 5000; Richard Kimball
Of Kenosha 800. The above legatees
are all children of the late Julius FL.
Kimball There is a little sentiment
connected with these requests as for
many years Miss Quigley acted in the
capacity of nurse for the Kimball
children. ~
Other requests made in the will are:
Edward Tanning, 5000; William J. Fan
ming, 5000; Henry T. Tanning, 800;
Marie Smith, $50; Frances Smith, $50;
William G. Tanning, 800; John Quig-
ley, 5000; Alice M. Quigley, 5000;
Peter j. Quigley, Thomas Quigley and
Edward G. Quigley are given a portion
of the real estate left by the deceased.
It is stated that if any money remains
after the division of the estate in this
manner that it be divided beween the
heirs named before in equal amounts.
The will states that no requests are
made to the relatives not expressly
named in the will.

Pastor Never Received a Penny From
the Stephenson Campaign Fund

One by one the twelve pastors charg-

the Stephenson campaign fund are
coming forward to make emphatic de-
NAL Of any connection with the sena-
6orial primary and election.
The Rev. FL. j. Dreis, OF Saukville
formerly pastor of st. George church
in Kenosha, is the latest to enter pro
test to the publication of his alleged
connection with the Stephenson cam.

the matter Monday to The Sentinel
the Rev. Father Dreis said:

STOUGHTON NOT MADISON
Senator From Somers Has Hard Time
Finding the State Capitol

Senator Bishop Of Kenosha county
has discovered that there is town on
the map named Stoughton. He had
heard rumors of this fact before Sun
day night, but had always supposed it
was a crossroads, which once in about
three years attracted a passenger from
a train.
The senator, so as not to be tardy at
the joint legislative ballot on Monday,
started from his home in Somers to
Madison Sunday night. He used the
noted Prairie du Chen division from
Milwaukee and finally when a station
was reached at which large number
of passengers disembarked, he thought
it must be Madison. He alighted and
as the train pulled out, started to look
for familiar paths in the dark leading
to the capitol.
The hill from the station seemed ia
miliar, but soon the buildings took on
a startling strangeness. Upon inquir-
ing of a passerby the way to the CAPT
tol, the statesman was told in strong
Norwegian dialect that while Senator
LaFollette was frequent visitor to
Stoughton that this was not the city
he lived in, but instead was Stoughton.
Senator Bishop made the best Of the
situation and went on to Madison early
Monday morning.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
 WIN THEIR STRIKE

Cleveland. November 1.-The 400 boy and girl strikers who have left West High school a practically deserted building since Wednesday, will return to their studies tomorrow morning. This decision followed a conference of the strikers committee, and the children regard the result as a victory for them

 This prevents the threatened strike at South, Glennville and other high schools still aGhering to the double sessions.

Washington, November That 25.5 per cent of the deaths of persons whose oc- cupation exposes them to municipal or street dust and to the general organic dust are due to tuberculosis is disclosed in bulletin prepared at the bureau of labor by Frederick L.

 In occupations exposed to general or ganic dust the proportion was 63 per cent. As compared with these propor- ton 14S per cent of deaths of males 15 years of age and over were from con- sumption. Among occupations exposed to municipal dust, those showing the highest mortality were drivers and teams ters, among whom 25.9 per cent of deaths were from tuberculosis.
