Over $4,000 Raised by Stamp
Sale for Aid in Stamping
Out White Plague
COMMITTEE IS MAKING PLANS

With about 40 towns to be heard
from, the total sale of Wisconsin
Christmas stamps during the recent
campaign from. November 80 to De-
cember 81 was 2,86S,681, expressed in
money $22,866. This makes hand
some working fund in the battle
against consumption in Wisconsin,
243,l51 stamps have not yet been ac-
counted for.
These figures were reported to the
general meeting of the society at 2
o. clock this afternoon by louis Gin
bel, chairman of the finance commit
tee.
{" 1t will be impossible to know the
exact total for some time, because Of
the failure of about forty local cam
paign managers to send in complete
reports,'' said Mr.. Gimbel, "but we
know approximately the net sum OBJ
tanned throu gh the sale and we can
accordingly fix definite plans for
future work Of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association.
"Every effort has been made to get
complete reports, but as is natural in a
big undertaking, some of the agencies
are taking their time in squaring their
accounts. The local campaign man
ayers without exception gave their
time and money to handle the cam
paign in their cities without remunera-
ton and the detail incident to final
reckoning is further sacrifice which
some can i'll afford to make directly.
Therefore we shall have to wait their
convenience y
Several hundred members of the as
ISOLATION from all parts of the state
were present this afternoon. Out
lines of plans for the future included
a vigorous campaign to establish one
or more hospitals for advanced cases
of consumption. The membership is
to be increased at once.

THREW CAT INTO FIRE.
James Lewis, Negro, Ares
ted Oh Charge of Brutal
Killing of a Cat
IS HELD FOR TRIAL IN COURT

James Lewis negro employed as q
porter at the Cream City Hotel in the
western part of the city, was arrest
ed late Wednesday afternoon by Pol
lice Officer Mischief on charge of
killing a cat and if the statement of
the case as made to the official is a
correct one the case is one of the worst
cases Of cruelty to animals ever known
in Kenosha. Lewis was arraigned
before Judge Randall in the municipal
court this morning and waived preli-
,minary examination and was held for
trial at the next term of the ,muni-
cipal court under bonds Of 800. Be
ing unable to furnish the bonds he
returned to Jail awaiting trial
Lewis is charged with throwing the
cat into a furnace but there seems to
be some doubt as 10 whether the cat
was alive or not at the time it went
into the fire. Lewis when first ar
rested declared that he went to the
cellar to fix the fire and that the
cat was sleeping on a shovel used
about the furnace and that he threw it
into the fire with the coal. Later he
qualified this story by declaring that
the cat was on the coal and that he
hit it on the head with the shovel and
then threw it into the furnace.
In any event the cat was burned in
the furnace and the bones of the
feline were taken from the furnace
and are being held as evidence against
the negro.
The charge against Lewis is very
serious one and should he be convict
ed he might be sent to the state prison
for term of two years.

COMPANY TO PAY REBATE NOW
Must Live Up to Contract Offering
Free Phones and Pay the City for
Rentals Collected Pending the De.
cision.

Kenosha has another precedent in
its fight for free telephones as tele-
grams from Ashland today announce
that the long fight between the City
Of Ashland and the Home Telephone
Company of that city has been settled
in favor of the city and in the future
Ashland will have free telephones in
its municipal buildings and in adj.
tion the Home Telephone Company of
that city Will rebate to the city $3.50
which was paid to the company in rem
tails pending the decision of the mat
ter. The case at Ashland like the
case at Superior was very similar to
the demand that is being made by the
City of Kenosha upon the Kenosha
Home Telephone Company. The com.
pany at Ashland is a combination of
two companies and at the time the
union was made one of the companies
had contract to supply the City of
Ashland with free phones. The mat
ter was fought out before the rail
way commission and in the supreme
court with the result that it has been
held that the company under the con-
tract must supply the city with free
telephone service and must rebate the
amounts paid for rental.
The difference between the Kenosha
and Ashland cases is the fact that at
Ashland the free phones were demand
ed under the provisions of contract
between the city and the company and
in Kenosha the service is demanded in
keeping with an ordinance granting
rights to one of the companies,
The Kenosha case is just where it
was a month ago as the attorney for
the city and the attorney for the Ke-
nosha Home Telephone Company have
not as yet agreed on the facts to be
stipulated to the railway commission.
Before these facts are sent to the
commission both attorneys will prob
ably consider the Ashland case.
The telephone company in Kenosha
has raised the question of working
under the old franchise of the Wis
consin Telephone Company and the of
fcials of the local company insist that
the new company never took over the
franchise of the Citizens company
under which the service of free
phones is being demanded.
City Attorney Slater has prepared
a statement Of the facts from the
standpoint of the city and this state
ment has been given the sanction of
the council.
The Kenosha council is paying the
claims of the telephone company with
the understanding that they are to
be rebated and if the city wins the
fight the amount will probably be con-
siderably larger than was rebated at
Ashland.

financial standpoint the dance was one
of the most successful given in Keno

MAY OFFER A Big SURPRISE
Many Men are Being Mentioned in
Connection With the Republican
Nomination but No One Has Taken
Out Petitions.

Candidate, candidate: who Sc got the
candidate? This is the rather inter
esting little game sthat is being played
by the Republicans just at present and
it promises to become as interesting
as jig saw puzzle chopped into a
thousand pieces before the end of the
present month. Notwithstanding the
fact that the merry war between Cor
man and Scholey, the Democratic can
didates, is going merrily on, and rum
ors are heard that third Democratic
candidate in the person of Water Com
missioner Matt Greenwald may come
into the field, not a single representa-
tive of the Republican party has TAX
en- out petitions and there is no bunch
of Republicans standing in line wait
ing to get their papers out. 1t should
not be decided that there is nothing
doing among the Republicans as con
ferences are being held every day and
it is expected that a surprise will be
sprung in short time and that a
candidate full fedged and ready for
fight will break forth. The Republi-
can city committee is being re-organiz-
ed and it is certain that the commit
tee will be in the city fight to a
finish this year and ready to support
the candidate named by the party.
While Frank Marx is the only one
of the Republicans mentioned I for
mayor who has consented to have his
name go before the people he has not
taken out any papers and it is under
stood that he will not take out papers
until assured that he will have the
support of the whole party. In the
meantime the names of William F.
Fisher, John M. Kehlor, Otis L. IRE
nary and Alderman John J. Hegeman
are being mentioned in connection
with the Republican nomination. Mr..
Fisher has silenced a lot of the talk
in his favor by his declaration that
he could not be a candidate for the
office and that he would not consider
a nomination even if he were the
choice of the whole party. Alder
man John Hegeman is doing nothing
to get into the race and he declares
that he is pretty busy as alderman
from the Third ward and for this rea-
son is not aspiring to head the ticket.
Kehlor and Trenary, the remaining
candidates being mentioned have made
no statement. The leaders of the
party in Kenosha seem to be decidedly
anxious to get together this year with
the understanding that united front
will be presented to the Democracy.
1t looks as if there would be plenty
of competition for places on Repub-
lican ward tickets. The plan for call
ing preliminary convention is still
being urged and it is possible that
City Chairman o. A. Mcneil will take
some steps along this line within the
next few days.

DOES SHE LOVE YOU?

Find Out.

Take Her to the "Phthymograph" and
Find Out.
Here is a tip that ought to send
thrills of joy to the heart of the bash
full man who hasn't been able to muster
up courage enough TO pop the ques-
ton" and who has been hoping fondly
for another leap year to roll around.
Just take the girl on an unsuspect-
ing visit to the laboratory Of the psy-
Geological clinic of the University Of
Pennsylvania. at Philadelphia, which
is directed by Dr. Lightner Wilmer.
head of the department Of psychology.
Then have her place her hand daintily
In machine which you will notice is
labeled ''phthymograph" or ''phyg-
mograph" and step into an adjoining
room to await developments.
While her hand rests easily in the
machine some one whispers to her
your name-George. Reginald or what
ever it is-and you keep your eye on
the Indicator. The machine will do
the rest.
What the machine really does is to
register on II piece of paper a distinct
line. which designates with precise cor
rectness the force of the emotions the
mention Of your name to the girl has
caused her to experience.
If the line sinks despairingly down
ward toward the bottom of the paper
take il from the machine that your
stock is rather low. If. however, and
this is important. the line fairly leaps
and bobs toward the top of the paper
it's up TO you to rush into the room
where the girl is seated, and But,
we'll, you'll know what to do.
