DR.. Fletcher was not called into the
case until the disease was we'll advance
ed and at that time many people had
already been exposed.
Mrs. Fletcher speaking for her hus-
band who was at the Runyard home
at the time declared that everything
possible was being done to prevent the
spread of the contagion, but that DIR.
Fletcher regarded the matter as ''bad
mixup." Members of the town board
have conferred with DR.. Fletcher and
have advised him to lose no time in
securing serum to fight the disease and
if other cases develop they viii be
taken care of in a manner that will
lessen as much as possible the danger
of the spread of the disease.

would give depositors the use of their
money, which in any other case, would
be tied up for an indefinite period, or
until the affairs of such a bank were

While Senator Owen believes that
this bill will pass the Legislature he
desires to have the fullest and free con-

election in November, 1912.

SCHOOLS SHOULD HELP.

AS carriers of typhoid fever and
other diseases the common house fly
may well be looked upon as one of the
most dangerous animals. Schools
should help in the warfare that it is
now proposed to wage against that for
midable foe. A stitch in time saves
nile, is common saying. But in the
case OF the fly the killing of one in
time prevents the coming into exist
ence of million or more times nine.
This means that the warfare against
the fly should start early in the spring
when the flies which have survived the
winter come out of their hiding places
and begin to multiply. Schools should
teach how to trap these would-be pro-
pagators of unborn millions.

funeral services at the Baptist church
at Antioch, ILL.,, but just before the
funeral it was discovered that the
daughter of Mrs. Runyard was suffer
ing from diphtheria in one of its
worst forms. Miss Runyard was
thought to be suffering from tonsilitis
and many people had come to the
house to view the remains of Mrs
Runyard and many had come from
other places to attend the funeral
services. AS soon as it was discovered
that the young woman had bad case
OF diphtheria the people who had come
from other places were quarantined at

NEW COMPANY FORMED.

There was new addition to the in

Carbon Turbine company fled articles
of incorporation with the secretary of
state and was given state charter.
The company is organized with capt.
tai stock of $500 and it will engage
in the manufacture of gasoline engines
and turbines with its central offices in
Kenosha. The incorporators were
August Baltzer, George Jensen, F.
Michel and o. F. Friberg. 1t is under
stood that the company is planning on
the erection of plant in Kenosha in
a short time. The officials of the new
company are: President, August Bait

the courts, caused by the traffic asking
that the legislature give some relief to
the division of the government carry
ing the expense. He showed figures of
how his amendment would affect many
localities in the state and stated that
the cities and villages should be will
ing to accept this division because of
it's fairness.
Senators objected to the passage of
the bill on the ground that it would in
terfere with arrangements that have
already been made between the county
and municipalities for the distribution
of this fund.
Senator Bishop of Kenosha county,
the last to speak on the question, put
much vigor in his opposition to the
bill, explaining how, in Kenosha coun-
ty, that part of the license money avail
able after the poor had been cared for
was expended in the improvement of
highways.

Nelson and Redmond of Mil
waukee Signed to Fight
10 Rounds in Kenosha
TO MEET IN Open AIR ARENA

Kenosha is going to be the center
of fstic activities again in May as
articles were signed today for a battle
between Battling Nelson, the former
| lightweight champion of the world and
Jack Redmond of Milwaukee, to be
pulled off in Kenosha the latter part
of May. Nelson returned the articles
this morning from New York and they
were promptly signed by Redmond.
The match between the two fighters
is to be pulled off under club with
Joe Conley, the former manager of
frankie Conley, as manager of the club
and there will be a number of warm
preliminaries. It is planned to hold the
fight in an open air arena and this will
be the first fight in keeping with the
old English custom in Kenosha in
fifteen years. The last open air fight
for the sports of Kenosha was pulled
off near Russell, Ill, some fifteen years
ago and the sports who were trailed
by the officials of two states before
the men finally entered the ring will
well remember the night of that con
test. Nelson goes into the ring with
guarantee of $4,000 for his share
OF the purse and as the fight is to be
pulled off in the afternoon it is thought
certain that it will draw one of the
largest crowds of people ever seen at
ringside in the county.
Manager Conley stated this morning
that he had been offered several places
for holding the show and that a place
would be accepted which would be
easily reached by the street cars and
the electric through cars. The men
are to weigh in at 133 pounds at ten
O'Clock on the morning of the fight.
Manager Conley is now planning to
hold the mill on the afternoon of
Memorial day, but if there is any op
position on this date it will be set for
ward and held on the Saturday before
the annual holiday. 1t is possible that
some of the fastest boys in the
country will appear in the pre-
hminaries.
Both Nelson and Redmond are al
ready in training and they will be in
shape for the fight and it is certain
that they will be well under the weight
Limit. The giving Of guarantee of
$4,000 to Nelson will come as a STRANGE
comparison to the fight fans in Keno
sha as it will be recalled that the
last time the battler appeared in Keno
sna he went on with an assurance of
$3.50 as his price for the bout.
Conley is new conner to the ranks
of fight promoters, but it is said that
he has a wide acquaintance among the
pugs and notables of the prize ring and
he has been promised lot of support
from the sporting writer's in pulling off
the open air show.

OLD SOLDIERS TO Be AIDED
Bishop Gets Active in Opposition to
the Bill for the Division Of Funds
Collected for Liquor Licenses in
the Rural Towns

After a long fight on Wednesday the
assembly ordered to engrossment bill
extending the open season for the
shooting of deer from twenty to thir-
ty-four days. If the bill passes the
Yenate the open season for deer will be
from Oct. 16 to Nov. 10.
The argument made in favor of a
longer season for deer hunting is that
It will make deer hunting less danger
BUS because so many hunters will not
be concentrated in the woods at one
time.

Measure is Killed.

"In my home town of Somers,' said
the senator, "lying adjacent to Ken
osha city, the nights are made hideous
by the boys from the dry districts on
their return from the county seat and
they are more wearing on the nerves
of the people of Pleasant Prairie and
Somers than was the late explosion of
the Dupont powder mill.''
On roll call the bill was killed by
vote of Is to 6.

MANY new LAWS PENDING
Safe Guarding of Deposits and Better
Regulation of the Banking Business
is the End Aimed at by These
New Banking Measures.

No class of legislation has received
more attention this session than those
measures relating to banking. Many
bills have been proposed and included
among them are measures of extreme
Importance to the banking interests of
this state. Aside from the so-called in
surance Of bank deposit bills, the gen
eral question of banking has been re-
ceiving more attention at this session
than in many years past. The purpose
of this is to give Wisconsin a set of
bank regulation laws which will be re-
garded as far in advance of the legis-
lation of other states upon this ques-
tion.
Perhaps the bankers themselves may
deem that these laws are unnecessary,
but this is not the view of Senator
Walter G. Owen, who more than any
other influence is responsible for the
detail plans covering the proposed
legislation.

Senator Owen Active.

Following the decision Of the Unit
ed States supreme court covering the
appeal in what are known as the Ok
lahoma bank cases and which, it is
claimed, settles the right of the states
to pass this class of legislation, Sen
ator Owen proceeded to formulate his
ideas covering this subject and has pre-
scented in concrete form substitute
bill for the one introduced at the be
ginning of the session.
In attempting to secure what he con-
siders the best and most advanced law
upon the question Of insuring bank de-
posits, through this measure, Senator
Owen in fact blazes a new trail and
seeks to secure what he believes to be
the only logical remedy for the evils
now claimed to exist, anticipating in
this measure every objection which has
ever been presented against this class
Of legislation by the bankers and bus
mess men. The new bill in brief pro-
vides:

Provides Assessment.

For an assessment Of one-half of l
per cent upon the total deposits Of the
banks until an aggregate of per cent
Of the total deposits in all the banks
has been reached. This money remains
in each individual bank until it is call
ed for to contribute to make I'D loss
owing to some bank failure. The sums
of money set aside by the banks to the
credit of tine insurance fund are in the
nature Of deposits subject to the con-
troll Of the bank, and upon which the
bank can make earnings. This meets
one of the main objections against any
plan now in force, permitting each
bank to control the funds. This
fund will reach the maximum per
cent asked under the bill within four
years and will aggregate in Wisconsin
more than 100000 fully adequate to
meet any losses liable even in extreme
cases ever to occur.
Provision is made for maintaining
this fund in case of it's depletion or
the increase of totals in deposits In
order to limit interest rates tending to-
wards unsafe banking methods, the bill
excludes deposits drawing more than 8
per cent from participation in the pro-
lection afforded by the insurance fund.
Three Per Cent Limit.
While the proposed law does not at
tempt to limit the interest rate paid
it does take away the protection af-
forded in case more than per cent is
paid.
Whenever the commissioner shall
take charge of the affairs of an insolv-
ent bank, under existing law, he shall
proceed in the usual way, converting
into cash the liquid assets as rapidly
as possible and on or before three
months from the time he takes posses
sion, proceed to pay a dividend to all
depositors out of such funds of the
bank as are then available. After this
dividend has been paid, the commits
sioner draws on all the banks of the
state for such sum as will be suffi-
cient to completely pay deposits Of ali
depositors who are not receiving inter
est in excess of per cent.
The draft upon the banks is made in
the proportion which their insurance
fund bears to the whole sum needed to
pay the liabilities of the defunct bank
upon these deposits. The funds so paid
by the banks are paid directly to the
state treasurer upon draft and the state
treasurer is made the discussing officer
to each individual depositor for the
amount of his claim upon its assign
ment.

Declares Bill Will Fail.

Senator James bill permitting towns
villages and cities to defray the ex-
penses of Memorial day exercises was
sent to engrossment in the assembly
after the vote by which it was killed
Saturday had been reconsidered. The
vote was So to 81 on the latter motion.
Speaker ingram explaining his vote
against the bill, said he opposed it be-
cause it was unconstitutional. Gilbert
son suggested that it would be better
to have the supreme court decide the
question and the speaker retorted that
the supreme court already had decided
it in a similar case.
A bill framed by the railroad com
mission and introduced by the senate
committee on corporations to correct a
defect in the law relating to altera-
ton of railroad crossings, was killed
because the members for the most part
were not paying attention to the mat
ter under consideration. There was no
opposition to reconsideration, but when
it came to a rising vote it was lost on
q tie.

Amends Civil Court Bill.

Wednesday morning the senate am
ended the civil court bill for Milwau-
kee removing jurisdiction to try div
9rce questions and removing the provis-
ion increasing the salary, so the only
change made is to increase the iuris-
diction of the civil matters from ST. 900
to $4,000. When the bill was reached
On the calendar Senator Linley pres
ented an amendment to the substitute
taking away the jurisdiction of the
court in the matter of divorce and urg-
ed its adoption on the ground that div
orce is matter that should not be en-
couraged and that the argument before
the committee that the several circuit
courts were congested with this class
of litigation was an argument in favor
OF continuing the situation as it now ia
for the reason that it would make har-
der the obtaining of such DEGREES. Sen.
ator Bodenstab pointed out the fact
that there were divorce laws on the
statute books and that some considera-
ton should be given to this class of lit
igants under the system now establish
ed. He called attention to the situa-
tion last week in which thirty-six De-
titions were made before one court in
relation TO divorce matters, that large
number OF women and children were
assembled In the courtroom at the time
and that such scenes were disgraceful.
His position was that as there is div
orce law, such matters should be con
sidered in the way least obnoxious to
society and with some degree of dis
patch.
Senator Kileen suggested that the
state should be consistent in its posi-
ton. That the bill limited the amount

PRIEST. Taft COMING WEST
Western Men Urged to State Their
Views to the President Clear
ly and Earnestly.
Denver Republican,

Next month President Taft win
make tour of the west, going prob
ably as far as the Pacific Coast II
will give him an opportunity To pre-
sent his views to the public on mat.
ters of interest which have come In.
to prominence since his last visit and
II will also give the people an oppor-
tunity to present their views TO him.
Several subjects of great interest
and Importance to the Far West ale
demanding consideration. They have
been much discussed in this part OF
the country, but In the east and west.
ern position is not well understood.
Probably the most important of these
is the question whether the govern
ment in Washington shall control the
| development of natural resources on
land which has not passed from fed
eral to either state or private owner.
ship
There is group OF men in the
east who demand national conserva-
| ton of natural resources. They have
done nearly all the talking in the
east. and they have made many per
sons in that section believe that UNI
less there shall be national conseGva-
ton there will be no conservation at
all II is really wonderful that eastern
people are so solcitous about con
serving natural resources in the Far
West when they display so little in
terest in similar work at home. 1t is
a fact, however, that this is there at
titude; and it makes 1t all the more
urgent that the people of this section
should be on their guard lest, under
the guise of conserving oil, coal and
timber. the much more important mat
ter OF conserving the rights of the
people of the west shall be ignored by
the country as whole.
These are matters which may pro
perry be brought to the personal at
tention of President Taft when he
comes West next month. There should
be no hesitation on the part of west
ern men in stating their views clear
, ly and with emphasis. This thing o
2 presenting them in a qualified way
+ out of kind of official courtesy will
5 not do, The president should be told
y the plain and simple truth.
