Jurors in Municipal Court
Will Not Be Called TillSec-
ond Wednesday in Nov.
MANY CASES TO Il TRIED THEN
(From Tuesday S DaiIy.)

Judge Randall in the municipal
court this morning issued formal or
der adjourning the opening of the De-
tober term of the municipal court until
the second Wednesday in November.
This action was taken on account of
the fact that election falls on the sec
ond Tuesday in November and should
court be called on the day before elec-
ton it was very probable that the call
ing of the jury would be attended with
great Inconvenience to the members Of
the panel. 1t is not expected that the
term will be an extended one but at
that there remains number of criminal
cases to be heard which promise to be
of interest and it is expected that it
will take until the last week in Novem-
Der to dispose of the cases on the cal
endar. Of course a great deal of in
terest will center in the trial of George
A. Marble, William n Eyster and John
Nimitz the three men who have been
accused of being connected with the
Jeffrey robbery. None of these men
have been bound over for trial but the
preliminary hearings have been set so
that the cases will be ready for trial at
the October term of the court. IF these
cases are tried it is probable that it
will take some time to dispose of them.
Next in interest will be the sensational
cases attending the alleged sale of Al
husband of the woman will be the first
of these cases and he is charged with
being an accessory before the act to
the crime of adultery It is expected
that he will plead guilty. Joel Jacob
son is held for trial on the same charge
as Koch and it is expected that a de-
termined effort will be made to save
him from conviction. The case of the
State VS.. Charles Mackewitz another
member of the Koch party will also be
contested. The defendant is accused of
adultery, Mrs. Koch being named in
the warrant
Other cases to come are the case of
the State VS.. Arthur Young who is
charged with grand larceny and the
State VS.. Kalmon Goldstein who is also
charged with grand larceny. Goldstein
is alleged to have stolen large amount
wire from the Kenosha Gas and Electric
Company. He was arrested many
months ago.

State Committee Fighting
Consumption FindsSchools
a Pronounced Success
EXTEND WORK ON This Line

Open air schools, the establishment
of which is being strongly urged by
the Wisconsin Anti Tuberculosis Asso-
citation as an economic necessity, are
not intended simply for the benefits of
tuberculous children, but for all de-
bilitated children, whose continuance
as pupils in the ordinary schools serves
to hasten their deaths or stunt their
development.
However, were the fresh air schools
designed to combat tuberculosis alone,
an enormous saving would be effected.
From the 6,400 school children dying
annually from consumption at the av-
erage age of 121a years, the United
States sustains a loss of $1,152 900 in
wasted education alone.
The principles of the open air school
are less study, less instruction, more
exercise and more oxygen. One of the
most remarkable and unexpected re-
suits has been the demonstration that
the ordinary school work was not only
not retarded but was wonderfully adj
vanced. This is not strange. Open air
makes for strength, vitality, alertness
and general health. Even the most ex-
pert teaching is wasted in large part
upon child whose vitality is being
sapped by bad air.
One of the greatest dement's of fresh
air schools is the influence toward sane
school architecture. If fresh air is
good for unsuccessful pupils, why deny
It to the bright onesg The open air
school proves that every school ought
to be a fresh air school, that is, the
present idea in school construction
should be abolished and adequate pro-
vision made for ventilation and sun
light. Fresh air rooms are bound to
become a rule rather than radica'
measure of reform after city once
has tried the experiment of open air
schools for it IS debilitated and tuber-
culous children.

Two Racine Contractors to Smash Ra.
-Kenosha Auto Record.

Two Racine contractors John Kad-
vail and Michael stansky are going to
make an effort to smash all records for
driving an automobile between Kenosha
and Racine. The former has wagered
the lated five dollars to twenty-five
that he can drive his automobile from
Racine to Kenosha in twelve minutes.
The test is to be made on next Sunday
morning and the automobiles will leave
Racine at six O'Clock believing that
this time the road will be free of all
vehicles. The distance between the
limits of the two cities is rated at ten
miles and in some places the road is
very 3avy. Local auto enthusiasts do
not believe that the trip can be made in
the time set in the wager.

Why is it that the tide of settlement
has never tended toward the Southern
states2 There is more than one rea-

that gun-toting is in vogue down there,
and peaceful immigrants have no in
clination to pitch their homes among

been making strenuous efforts to attract

MRS. RATHER ASKS DIVORCE.
Alleges That Her Husband Gave Her
Small Sum to Support Self and Child.

Late Monday afternoon Judge Belden
in the circuit court heard the evidence
in the suit brought for divorce by Mrs.
Mary Raether against her husband Her
man Raether. In her complaint Mrs.
Raether states that she married Raether
in 1890 and she charges him with fail
ure to support. The woman stated that
in a year and half the total amount
contributed by the husband for the
support of herself and daughter was
but $42. A divorce from bed and board
was granted by the court but the find
ings in the case have not as yet been
drawn. Both Raether and his wife are
residents of Kenosha. The husband did
not answer the suit nor was he in
court when the hearing took place.
