KEMPER HALL.

All who had the opportunity Of hear
ing Mrs. siml5kin lecture at Kemper
dali on March 10th came away with
strong desire to visit 0rvieto, Italy,
for the sole purpose of seeing the beau
tiful cathedral which was the subject
of her talk. Even without the beauti-
full pictures which gave a vivid impress
sion OF the wonderfully decorated in
terror and exterior, the lecture would
nave been interesting, for Mrs. Simp-
kin possesses the gifts so necessary to
the popular lecturer
Her pleasing presence, combined with
charm and magnetism of personality,
attracts the listener and from the be-
ginning her audience is with her. She
has no difficult in holding the attention
for actual observation of the scenes she
describes and explains. Her voice mel
low and richly modulated charms the
ear and the listener is transported to
the land rich in the glorious reminders
of the wonderful sculptors and paint
ers of the 18th and 14th centuries.

THURSDAY, MARCH 81, 1912.

The aldermen may not have deyot-
ed much time to the affairs of the city
at the meeting Monday evening, but
lii the short time the council was in
session more was accomplished for the
benefit of the people of the city gen
orally in the passage of the new health
ordinance than has been done at any
single meeting of that body in years.
The ordinance is declared by experts
to be model of its kind and under
its provisions it should be possible to
create health department which will
give the people of Kenosha as good or
better service than is given to the
people of any of the other cities of
the state, The appointment of non
partisan commission Of five citizens
as provided by this ordinance should
divorce the health department abso-
Iutsly from politics and make it pos
gible to remedy conditions which have
been serious menace to the health Of
all the people of the city for years.
AS the ordinance provides that this
commission shall be named within ten
days the work of putting this city on
a par with the progressive cities Of
the state in all matters pertaining to
sanitary regulations and measures de-
signed to safeguard the public health
Reed not be long delayed. AS carry
Ing out the idea of strictly nom
partisan commission the Kenosha
County Medical Society should be al
lowed to name the Two physicians who
must be given places on the commits
sion and all of the members named
should be men whose standing and
reputation is such that the public will
have every confidence in them. There
is no denying the fact that through
peculiar combination of circum=
stances the situation is serious and
that drastic measures to prevent the
further spread of contagious diseases
are urgently needed. Let such COM
mission be named as will have the full
support of public sentiment behind it
In any regulations which it may see fit
to establish and let it get to work as
soon as possible

THE GOOSE GIRL NEXT MONDAY.

'EThe Goose Girl, y the dramatized
version of the popular novel, by
Harold MacGrath, which is to be the
attraction at the Rhode Monday night
is a far more pleasing and attractive
play than is usually presented at pop
ular priced theatres. Unlike other
plays derived from popular novels,
none of the effectiveness of the story
is lost in the efforts to faithfully car
ry out the story of the book.
To those who have read and enjoy
ed the novel it is all the more pleasing
as play. None of the heroics are
lost, none of its romance curtailed and
little of the higher qualities missing.
From a dramatic standpoint s.The
Goose Girl easily takes its place with
the best offerings placed before thea
TRIGGERS. The play is consistently
written and revels in thrilling drama
tic scenes and situationsf which are
not confined to one or two, particular
acts but which are spread throughout
the entire four acts of the play. The
dramatization of the book is an admir-
able one, far in excess of what is usu-
ally presented. Prices 25e to $1.00.

FThe Young Men s Christian Asso-
citation has esta 5lished record for
hustling which is without parallel in
this community. In seven days its
committees have secured subscriptions
sufficient to complete the 100000
building fund. The fact that many
energetic young business men did the
work of soliciting subscriptions added
greatly to the success of the move
ment. The alert, snappy way in which
the campaign was conducted made a
profound impression upon the com
nunity. Nothing like it was ever seen
here. From start to finish the work of
the active friends of The Young Men s
Christian Association commanded wide
spread attention and admiration. In
the lexicon of the organization there
is apparently no such word as fail, so
the committee hustled with The energy
and confidence worthy Of good
cause, and now they have put to rout
all who may have questioned the will
ingness of the people to give gener-
ously for new Young Mems Christ
ian Association building.
"The promptness and literally of
the response to the appeal for sub
seriptions reflects great credit upon
the community. Business men ara
among the most generous subscribers
to the fund, not only because they de-
sire to help good cause, hut because
the work Of the Young MEMS Christ
ian Association does is of real value
to the business man in ways which
are obvious. The association offers to
young men opportunity for recreation
and SELF Improvement under the best
conditions. 1t does practical work IL
every community and in enabling it to
enlarge its facilities here those who
subscribed to the building fund have
made a good Investment for themselves
and for the community"

The citizens of Tarrytown, New
York contributed in the summer of
1910, something over 100000 for the
new association building shown above
which has been expended as follows:
$4,000 for building and site, $1,000
for furnishing and equipment, $4,000
for part maintenance first year, ard
$4,000 for contingent fund.
Tarrytown is city of 1900 peo-
pie, twenty-five miles distant from
New York City. Of this population
fully three thousand or moro are
young men. Besides being drawn to
the resorts of the large metropolis,
forty-seven saloons and numerous pool
rooms catered to the money and pas
sions of the young men. The people
of Tarrytown were convinced of the
urgent need of a modern association
building to provide wholesome recrea-
ton and to bring to bear uplifting
influence, upon the physical, mental
and spiritual welfare Of its manhood.
Pursuant to a conditional subscrip-
ton of $4,000 rendered by John D.
Rockefeller, the board of directors
voted, to launch campaign for funds
under the direction of c. S. Ward, in
ternational secretary. The campaign
opened with a banquet which was
held at Christ church parish hall on
July 18th. At this meeting "a second
preliminary subscription of $15,O0Q
was made by friend of the associa-
tion. The campaign lasted seven days,
and with the cooperation Of the one
hundred volunteer workers the citizens
and the press, and the blessing of
God, the building fund closed with over
eighteen hundred subscriptions and a
grand total of 800,
The successful way in which the
campaign was carried through is force

MEET IN SPECIAL SESSION
Members Seem to Be in Favor of Stop
ping Work on Proposed Addition to
the Old Building ana Leave New
Building Plan over Till November.

Ihe members of the county board of
supervisors are divided on the ques-
ton OF building new municipal
court building and as result of the
special session of the board held rat
the court room of the municipal court
today it looked very probable that the
whole matter would be laid over to
the November session. It seemed GER
tain that the members of the board
would order the cancelling of the con-
tract which provided for an expendi-
ture OF about $4,000 on the old build
ing, but further than this it was i'm
possible to forecast what the board
would do. Some of the city members
OF the board were favorable to the
erection of a new building as an ex-
elusive home for the municipal court
and some of the country member de-
clared that if a new building was to
be built it should be court house
which would furnish Offices sufficient
ly large for the use of all the county
officials and in addition court rooms
for the use of both the municipal and
circuit courts.
Supervisor Herzog Of Somers, made
a strong plea in favor of the cree
tion Of a modern building which would
serve as home for both Of the courts
and his sentiment was echoed by a
number Of the other rural members
Of the board. The men favoring the
new municipal court and the new court
house were all agreed that it would be
unwise to continue the plans for i'm
proving the old building and Otto Win
dorf, who has the contract for this
work, has declared that he will be will
ing to allow the cancellation Of the
contract.
There is some question as to the
makeup of the board after the spring
election and for this reason the present
members believe that the only fair
thing would be to leave the considera-
ton of the whole matter over to the
new board with a view of having
committee named which will make q
report at the next regular session.
The members seemed to be of the
opinion that if any expenditure should
be made for a new building that it
should be one in keeping with the
wealth and prominence of Kenosha
county among the counties of the
state

An Indianapolis court has adopted
the plan of collecting fines in INSTALL
ments in misdemeanor cases where the
offenders are too poor to pay the
whole fine and thus escape the house
of correction.
The idea is an excellent one. Too
often a bridewell sentence means the
loss of position and suffering for the
offenders family. 1t means the loss
of self-respect, too.
Why not let the prisoner go on
promise to pay his fine in weekly in
stallmentsa Such promise amounts
to probation, and the man is less like
ly to relapse into bad habits. The
eyes of the judge and the court S Of
fcers are on him, and the sentence is
really more deterrent. Record

Says That the 10 Delegates From
North Dakota Have Roosevelt as
Second Chnica


Senator Dixon, manager of Col.
Roosevelt's candidacy, in a statement
at Washington commenting upon the
North Dakota primary, said that the
result was severe blow for Presi-
dent Taft. In the election but one
republican voter in 40 in North Da-
kota expressed a wish that Taft be
made republican nominee for pres
ident, said Senator Dixon, mo such
humiliating, crushing defeat of
presidential candidate asking renom-
ination has ever been witnessed in
American politics. Four years ago
in North Dakota Taft received 81
$50 republican votes. In the primary
election last week less than 1000 re-
publicans in North Dakota expressed
a preference for his second nomina-
tom The 10 delegates to the ma
.tional convention elected are first,
last and all the time anti-Taft. The
delegates elected in north Dakota
had given out signed statements sew
eral days ago that if elected they
would support Mr.. Roosevelt in the
Chicago convention. when. it was
shown that La Toilette could not be
nominated. These 10 delegates can
safely be put in the Roosevelt col
umn
