State Health Department To Fol.
low Lead of Local School Board
in looking After Children
MAKE PLAN A STATE WIDE ONE
Teachers to be Supplied With Books
Showing the Best Way of Pre-
venting Spread of Con-
tagious Diseases

The State Board of Health has taken
a decided stand in favor of the bet
terment Of health conditions in Wis
consin and in order to attain this end
has given valuable assistance to the
lawmakers in drawing up bills.
Several such measures will receive
consideration by the legislature at
this session. The most important,
from the point of view of board
members, is that relating to sanitary
and hygienic conditions in the schools
and the prevention and control of
dangerous diseases.
This measure provide that to dis
seminate knowledge relative to dan
gerous diseases, their causes and
methods of prevention and to safe
guard the lives Of school children,
! there shall be taught weekly during
each year in every school of the state
the principal means by which each of
the dangerous communicable diseases
are spread and the best methods for
the restriction and prevention of such
diseases. The Board shall annually
send to the county superintendent for
distribution among the teachers, print
ed information and instructions, which
will assist the teachers in their work.
It shall be the duty Of all teachers and
superintendent to give special oral
and written instruction at least once
each week during the school year on
the subject of disease prevention US
ing the pamphlets of the Board.
Parents, guardians or persons having
the custody Of children will not be per-
mitted to allow the children to attend
school If afflicted with dangerous
communicable disease, or if they have
been exposed to such, except tuberculo-
sis or typhoid fever. All teachers and
superintendent will be obliged to ex-
clude from their schools such children,
unless written permit has been given
by the resident health officer.
The measure also makes it unlawful
for school trustees of Boards to crowd
children into school rooms which are
so small and SO poorly ventilated that
there is not sufficient air space for each
pupil. If such conditions prevail it
will be the duty Of the School Board
to dismiss the school, All school
houses, before school opens at the be
ginning Of each term, or after the out
break Of any contagious disease must
be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Neglect or refusal on part of any super
intendent or teacher to comply with the
law will be considered sufficient cause
for dismissal

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Silver Lake Ice Man Falls Into
Lake and Has Hard Struggle
Before He Is Rescued
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Jacob Nieman, a Chicago man, who
had been in the employ Of the .Jeffer-
son Ice Company on Silver Lake nearly
lost his life in the water Of that lake
a few nights ago. He had just wound
up his connection with the ice com
pany and had determined to return to
Chicago. He started to walk to Silver
Lake Village across the lake, which is
very hazardous proceeding in the very
coldest weather and doubly so at this
time Of the year. He got on thin ice
and broke through in one Of the cuts
made by the Knickerbocber Company.
Nieman was an expert swimmer. His
father was a sailor and had taught his
boys thoroughly to handle themselves
in the water. But he had on heavy
fur coat which bid fair to prove his
undoing. The coat was built with fur
outside and lining of sheep pelts. It
absorbed water like sponge and when
| in this condition required all of a
man. strength to lift it. Nieman
struggled to get free from it. He got
OHS dIm pdIG way UuI duu GHeI0 IL
struck. It seemed as if his time had
come, but with the free arm he was
working his way slowly to where the
ice was thick enough to stand consid-
cradle strain. There he got his chin
on the ice and supporting his body in
| that manner worked with his arms I'M
til he got the coat off. By this time
help had arrived, a boat was pushed
out to him and Nieman managed to
cling to it until he was pulled into
shallow water where he was able to
walk out.
| He carried insurance policies for
$4,000 on his person, the benefit of
which would have gone to his mother
in event of his death. He was pretty
thoroughly exhausted, but was dried
out and soon able to be about again
not much the worse for his adventure
He also dried out his insurance poll
cies with an eye to future emergen.

for Fall on a Defective Walk

The City of Kenosha has been nam
ed as a defendant in an action for
$4,000 for personal injuries brought by
Mrs Margaret Krisor The suit is one
that has been threatened for many
months and is based on an injury on a
defective sidewalk in December Of
1906. At that time Mrs. Krisor was
walking along the south side Of the
Kimball building at the corner of Main
and Wisconsin streets and slipped and
fell. She sustained dislocated ankle
and many bad bruises. 1t is claimed
by her attorneys that she was per-
manently injured. Notice of the acct
dent was served on the city shortly
after it occurred, but the committee on
claims Of the Council have been unable
to reach an agreement as to the amount
that should be paid Mrs Krisor. The
suit is noticed for trial at the March
term of the Circuit Court.

Creditors Of Visible Typewriter
Company in kenosha Get
Small Dividend
CLOSES FIGHT FOR FUNDS
Unsecured Claimants Against Estate
of the Bankrupt Will Probably
Receive Nothing for Their
Claims Against Company

The final chapter in the history Of
the plant Of the Visible Typewriter
Company Of Kenosha was written on
Friday afternoon by Carroll G. At
wood, referee in bankruptcy, when he
sent to the attorneys representing ere
ditors of the company checks for the
amount allowed them as dividends.
! The total amount distributed among
the creditors was only little over
$4,000 and this two and a half per
cent dividend is said to be the first
and only dividend that will be paid by
the estate Of the bankrupt company.
This dividend is paid only to such peo-
pie as held the notes of the company
and in the end the courts decided to
include these people in the list of pre-
ferred claimants It is not thought
that the unsecured creditors, repre-
senting claims in excess of $4,000
will receive a cent on their claims as
all Of the money left after the settle
ment of the estate of the bankrupt
was used in paying the small dividend
to the creditors who held notes
against the company. Many Of the
creditors who held these notes also had
unsecured claims, but there was moth
ing paid on these claims. The referee
IN bankruptcy has made every possible
effort to save as much as possible of
the estate for the creditors and the
bills of the attorneys who worked in
settling up the business Of the plant
were cut to a minimum by the referee,
but even with this cut the legal costs
Of settling the estate were so great
that almost nothing was left for the
creditors. Many of the claims were
never presented for payment. The
Kenosha claims against the company
are said to have been in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 and less than 5000 was
received by the attorneys for the
liquidation of these claims. When the
attorneys who had taken the claims
for collection secured their portion of
the dividend the amount for the credi-
tor will be SO small that it will be
valuable only as a souvenir of the
hoodoo plant Of Kenosha.
It is probable that the payment of
this dividend will bring the sesslement
Of the estate of the bankrupt. For
some time the creditors have been con-
sidering the possibility of bringing
suits against men who were interested
in the company before the failure, but
it is learned that these men lost all
they had in the venture and suits
would be simply sending good money
after bad
S. Wolheim, the former manager of
the company still retains the patents
owned by the company and it is not
probable that any effort will be made
to get possession of these patents.
They might be sold for small sum
Of money, but the cost of securing
and selling them would undoubtedly
be as much as the creditors would
realize from the transaction. There
seems to be no one among the credi-
tors who desires to take up the matter
and it will probably be allowed to rest
just where it is.

BIG CANAL WILL BE BUILT
Many Acres From Brighton to Fox
River TO be Reclaimed

A meeting has been held in Brigh-
ton for the purpose Of getting the
sentiment Of property owners on the
digging Of a canal in the towns Of
Brighton and Burlington that will
practically follow up what is known
as Hoosier creek.
A committee Of three, composed of
Lewis Rhodes, Steve Mccarthy and
George T. Stanley, was appointed to
secure an engineer and ascertain if
there was sufficient fall from the pro-
posed starting place in section 10 in
Brighton to the Fox River in Burling-
ton to drain the low lands This com
mittee has secured the services of City
Engineer P. J. Hurtgen to run the
levels for them. Of the thirteen humid
red acres of land represented at the
meeting eleven hundred were in favor
of the canal and two hundred acres
were opposed. 1t is expected that the
canal will drain about 5000 acres of
land. John Spieker and l. G. Wheeler
were appointed with the above com
mittee to secure an estimate of about
how many acres Of land would be in
cluded in the drainage district.
It is proposed to start the canal in
section 10 in Brighton. Then come
down through sections s, 5 and in
Brighton, and sections 1, 2, 3, 10 and
Is in Burlington. Of course, there
will be laterals laid into this cana
from different places to drain Low
lands. The main canal will be about
ten miles long.

The action of United States District
Attorney Joseph B. Healing Of Indi-
annapolis, who resigned his position
rather than to prosecute men on a
charge he believed to be against the
constitutional rights Of those men, is
a rare exhibition Of personal courage.
Healing, however, has a record for do
ing what he considered his duty and
this record shows that he is not MAX
ing grand stand" play at this time
on account of the fact that the men
to be prosecuted were personal friends
of his.

City officials are rushing into print
to tell just what they have done while
in Office this year. The last one to
come out is Superintendent of Streets
Steinbach. This should not be neces-
sary. The results should be sufficient
to show the tax payers and you can
bet that at this time they are looking.

Post of this city for the organization
of picket post at Genoa Junction.
The new post, which will be an

that these veterans live many miles

it will be possible for them to hold
their meetings at Genoa Junction.

unable to regard his condition with the common

For example: He comes home tired. eats a
heavy dinner. and sits down to read and smoke
away a quiet evening.
Suddenly he notices a weight on his stomach;
then sharp pains around his heart and a feel
ing Of sufocation. Thoughts Of heart disease
rush over him. and In bis agony he fears the
worst.
His trouble was acute indigestion, brought on
by overlooking his tired stomach.
A couple Of Dyspepsia Tablets would have
given him instant relief-would have saved him
hours Of suffering.

twenty minutes, so that during the day
something like twenty journeys could
be accomplished. Considering that the
channel has SO far only been crossed

The discovery of the famous Wedgwood
dinner service formerly belonging to
Catherine II of Russia In one OF her
palaces has caused. ! am told, the king
to consider whether a careful examlna-
ton Of the royal treasures contained at
Windsor Castle, St James Palace and
elsewhere might not bring to light sew
eral interesting articles now forgotten.
His majesty, accordingly, has given d.
rections for the catalogues of the treas
ures contained at the older palaces 10 De
carefully examined and brought up to
date. and then forwarded to him for his
inspection. Only about two years ago
the Princess Of Wales found by accident
considerable collection of valuable
miniatures on ivory Of the reigns Of
George III and George Nv, and these are
now displayed in the great library at
Windsor. Many of the subjects of these
miniatures are still unidentified. but it
is hoped to trace them all very shortly.
There is small doubt entertained at
Windsor that systematic examination
of the castle will bring to light several
interesting relics, and the work Is to be
carried out without further loss Of time.

QUESTION OF N. D. SKIPPER UP.
President Asked to Assign Com
mander to HOSPITAL Shop Solace.

One question to be settled by the
President and the Secretary of the
Navy Is the revived controversy as to
whether a line officer or a medical Of
ficer shall be placed in command of the
new hospital ship Solace.
If they adhere to the policy of the
Roosevelt administration. Surg. Gen
Pickrell Of the Medical Corps will be
detailed to that duty. in accordance with
the recommendation Of the surgeon gen.
eral Of the navy. Otherwise a line Of
ficer. not yet named, will command.
Attorney General Wickersham recent
ly rendered an opinion that the matter
was entirely within the discretion OF
the President. According to the AttOr-
ney General. a medical officer in com
mand would have no authority over any
other officer or enlisted man Of the navy
outside of the Medical Corps, thus re-
curing the navigation Of the vessel by
q civilian master and crew.
The surgeon general has informed the
Secretary of the Navy that the Solace
is now at Charleston ready for service
and should be put in commission as
soon as possible. in accordance with ex-
listing regulations.
1t il expected that the matter will be
settled In a few days.
