INGRAM TO BE ELECTED.
Members of Next Assembly Are Look
ing for Committee Appointments.

lQS ZOE CoLnnlLtee appointments.
Now it has been decided that Chas.
A. Ingram is TO be the speaker Of the
assembly, there is beginning to be
talk about the arrangements of the as
sembly Committee assignments. Mr..
Ingram, in talks with friends during
recent trips to Madison, however, de-
clared that such talk is idle at this
time for the reason that he shall make
no selections for any committees un-
til after the Legislature has met and
it is known whether the proposed res
olutions will be adopted which shall
make an entirely new committee pro-
gram for the assembly.
This plan proposes greatly increas-
ing the number of committees in the
assembly and provides for two com
mittees which shall pass on the work
now done by the judiciary committee,
although it has not yet been decided
whether both shall be called judiciary
committees or whether one shall be
called the judiciary committee and the
other the committee on laws and pro-
cedure. Until arrangements of, the
committees is decided upon Mr.. Ingram
considers it is useless to make plans
for any committee assignments. This
much can, however, be said with GER
tainty, that Assemblyman J. E. Nc
Connell of Lacrosse, who has recently
withdrawn from the speakership tight,
is certain to head one Of the judiciary
committees.

CHILDREN NARROWLY ESCAPE
Fire Starts i'll the Attic Of the House
and Was Not Discovered Until En-
tire Building Was Mass of Flames
Loss $4,000.

The residence of Rollie Wade on the
Racine road just north of Kenosha was
completely destroyed by mysterious
fire just before nine clock Thursday
evening and Mr.. Wade and his wife
and four children narrowly escaped be-
ing burned to death. The fire origin
entire upper portion Of the house was
in flames when it was discovered by
neighbors. Mr.. and Mrs. Wade at the
time were sitting in the kitchen of the
house and the four children had re-
tired for the night in one of the front
rooms. Mrs. Wade heard the cracking
of the flames and spoke to her hus-
band about the strange sound but he
declared that it was only the wind
playing about the house and went on
reading a paper. Just about this time
a neighbor who had seen the fire reach
ed the house and Wade rushed to the
front part of the house to rescue the
children. He opened a door leading
to the stairway of the house and the
flames burst out in great sheet block
ing his way but he managed to get to
the rooms in which the children were
sleeping and with the aid Of Mrs. Wade
got them out of their beds and out of
the house. There was no time to save
any of the clothing of the children and
three of them escaped in their night
clothes and were taken to the home of
a neighbor nearly a quarter of mile
away with no other clothing but their
night dresses. The youngest of the
children was babe in arms and Mrs.
Wade managed to secure a portion Of
the bed clothing which shielded the
little girl from the cold until the home
of the neighbors was reached. An au-
tomobile load of well known men from
the city arrived when the fire was at
it's height and these men aided mater
tally in removing small portion of
the furniture from the house but the
flames were so hot ana spread so rapid
ly that nearly all of the furniture had
been burned before they arrived.
The loss from the fire will be in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 and there was
no insurance on the house or the fur
niture.
Efforts have been made to discover
the cause of the fire but nothing has
been found. There had been no fire in
the attic of the house during the win
ter and the only solution that seems
possible is that mice may have ignited
matches in some of the clothing stored
in the upper part of the house and
started the fire. Mr.. and Mrs. Wade
and their children, none the worse for
their exposure came to Kenosha this
morning and will make their home
| with relatives pending the rebuilding
of the house.

JUHRE AND HICKS FIGHT DRAW

Charles Juhre the pride of Racine
pugs and Freddie Hicks of Milwaukee
met In ten round draw at Central
Park on Thursday night before crowd
of two hundred fight fans from Ra-
cine and Kenosha who braved the WIN
ter weather for the fights carded for
the evening. The decision of the ref
cree was entirely satisfactory to the
crowd as neither of the men did any
great amount Of work during the fight
and the referee was by far the hardest
worked man In the ring after the sec
ond round. 1t was the second draw
that the two boys have fought within
few months. In the first round the
boys mixed it and in the second Juhre
had Hicks in trouble but he failed to
show a punch sufficient to knock Hicks
out and after that Hicks stalled and
covered up and the last few rounds the
scrappers rushed into clinches and COW
cred up so that there was hardly a
clean blow struck. The referee was
kept busy parting the men and both of
them were strong when the gong sound
ed at the end of the tenth round.
The preliminaries offered some real
fighting. In the first bout Barney
Richter of Racine met Fighting George
Of Milwaukee. An awful mistake was
made in the selection of the name for
the last fighter for if he is really a
Fighting George he failed to give
any evidence of the fact. The two
boys exchanged love taps for about
forty seconds when the Fighting
George went down and waved his
hands about while the referee counted
him out.
The semi-wind up was a real fight,
the only trouble being that it lasted
less than two rounds. Tommy Gilmore
as game a boy as ever went into a ring
IN his part Of the country was matched
with Young Frenchie. In the first
round the two boys went out after
each other in hammer and tongs fash
ion and while there was not lot of
science there was a lot of smuggling.
In the second round Frenchie got the
edge and he landed Gilmore with a
straight blow to the jaw which put
him down and out.
The crowd at the fight was largely
made up of Racine sports about thirty
going out from Kenosha.

MANY PAYING TAXES.
City Treasurer Has Taken in Over
$4,000 on New Levy in First Week.

9o5Ouu Oh new Levy IN ElrSC week.
People Of Kenosha are paying their
taxes early this year and in the first
week Of collections the total amount
of the new tax levy collected amounts
to more than $4,000. Most of this has
been made up Of small amounts and
the largest tax payer to settle with
the city so far is the First National
Bank and the Northwestern Loan and
Trust company. It is expected that
some of the larger tax payers of the
city will pay their taxes during the
next few days and that the payment
of these large amounts will make it
possible for the city to pay it's orders
without borrowing any more money.
There are large number of orders
outstanding but it is expected that
there will be money enough in the
treasury within the next ten DAYS to
pay all Of these orders.

DISEASES OF

Blackleg, a bacterial disease of the

leaves have a tendency to grow up

often with the young leaves curled
and folded up along the mid-rib.
The most characteristic thing about
them Is the inky-black d~iscoloration
OF the stem, at or below the surface
of the ground, but frequently running
up the stem from one to several
inches above ground. The seed-piece
from which the attacked plants spring
is invariably attacked with a soft-rot,
and the disease appears to start on
the stem at its junction with the dis
eased seed tuber. The germs of the
disease are capable of causing a rapid
decay of the young tubers, and these
are sometimes attacked also.
! The evidence thus far obtained in
dicates that blackleg is largely dis

in wounds, cracks and decayed areas
of seed tubers. On account of the
readiness with which the organisms
are killed by drying there is little to
fear from sound, smooth seed stock.
but this should be treated with a dis
injecting solution as a matter Of pre-
caution.
The propagation and spread of the
disease probably can be controlled
largely by the selection of seed from
