The Kenosha county officials are I'M
speeding sanitarium for the care of
tuberculosis patients near Waukegan
and it may be decided to send some Of
the tubercular patients from this
county to the Lake County institution,
but any arrangements that the Keno
sha supervisors may make there for the
reception Of the sick from this county
can hardly be anything but temporary.
In the first place the accommodations
at this sanitarium while ideal in sum
mer are very limited in winter. Under
the present arrangements, it can care
for but twenty patients in the cold
weather and there are that number
from Lake County there now and it is
not probable that the trustees Of the
sanitarium would care to increase the
facilities to the extent necessary to
care for the patients sent from this
county all the year around without
stronger guarantees that this county
would use the sanitarium for the care
Of its tubercular patients for num-
Der of years than the Kenosha county
supervisors can give. In the second
place it is doubtful if tne state would
make the regular allowance of $500
per week for each patient when fey
are cared for in an Illinois institution
and if that is the case the expense of
caring for the patients would warrant
the erection of a county sanitarium
Immediately. The Lake County instis
tuition may relieve the situation in
Kenosha temporarily, but it does not
furnish a solution Of the problem os
caring for the tubercular patients in
this county ~ ms. Unless the
supervisors fnd ! seolsin institu-
ton to which they can be committed at.
any time of the year the only alterna-
tive is to build. ..sE

ESTIMATED COST IS $4,000
Many Contractors Secure Plans for Big
Ditch and Bidding is Expected to be
Spirited South Route for Sewer Not
as Yet Decided ON.

The street assessment committee will
meet in special session on Friday af-
ternoon to open bids for the construc-
tion Of the proposed main sewer for
the north side of the city and it is
expected that the bidding on the job
which is estimated to cost $4,000, will
be most spirited. All Of the local
sewer contractors promise to make
proposals for the work and it is said
that number of contractors from
other cities will also be in on the
bidding.
The plans for the sewer now in the
hands of the various contractors pro-
vide for the building Of forty-two
inch sewer along North Pleasant street
from the present intersection of the
street with Pike River to the corner
Of Howe street. From this point a
thirty six inch sewer will be built east
along Howe and Limits streets to Ra-
cine avenue and thence north to Fair
field street to connect with the Racine
avenue sewer laid last year.
1t is planned to have this portion
of the sewer completed by the first Of
January and bonds will be issued to
pay for the cost of it's construction.
The electors of the city at the last city
election voted fayorably on an issue
Of bonds to the amount of $4,000 to
provide for the completion of the
sewer and the bonds will be issued
Just as soon as the contracts for the
work have been let The city attorney
is now at work on the ordinance pro-
viding for the bond issue and the issue
will be the first to be made by the city
in more than two years.
City Engineer Brennan is now at
work on two plans for the extension
of the sewer south from the intersec-
ton of the creek and Pleasant street.
1t is certain that the route selected
will run along the bed Of the creek,
but not in the bed of the creek, as far
as Pine street. Two plans are suggest
ed at this point. One is to build a
reducing plant at Pine street with a
view of purifying the sewage and pour
ing it into the river from which it will
find it's way to the lake through the
harbor The other plan provides for
the extension Of the sewer to the west
and south so as to enter it into the
j Park street sewer and find an outlet
to the lake in this manner
Engineer Brennan is convinced that
the sewer will drain vast track of
territory in the west and northwest
portions of the city and it is declared
that it will prove Of as great value
to the north and west sides of the city
as the trunk sewer proved to the south
and west sides. 4 portion of the cost
of the sewer will be paid by assess
ments on the property adjoining.

Joseph Merinski is Stricken
with Heart Disease Sunday
Evening on Market st.
DIES At STERLING HOUSE

Joseph Merinski, fifty years of age
and well known among the bakers of
the city, was stricken with heart
disease while standing on the street
at the corner Of Market and Newell
street on Sunday evening just after
seven o'clock. He died few minutes
later at the Sterling House. Merinski
had been about his usual haunts dur
ing the day and while he had COM
planned Of suffering from heart trouble
none of his friends had any idea that
his condition was serious. He had been
living at place on Newell street and
he had walked to the corner only q
short time before he fell. Pedestrians
picked him up and removed him to the
Sterling House and DR.. George e.
Thompson was called to attend him.
Merinski died before the physician ar
rived. Coroner H. G. Millager direct
lea the remains to be removed to the
Hansen morgue and an investigation
into tn death of the man is being
made today. Merinski was a native Of
Bohemia, but he came to this country
several years ago and had resided IN
Kenosha for some time. He has wife
and one child in Kenosha. No ar.
engagements have as yet been made for
the funeral but it will probably be ar
ranged by the Bakers union Of which
the deceased was member in good
standing.

The tactics of the university in send
ing through its appropriation bills with
out permitting a full and free discus
sion of its demands on the floor of the
legislature have intensified the feeling
around the state that it is high. time
that the affairs of that institution were
given more publicity and that the peo-
pie of the state who pay the bills We're
given some voice in its management
There is suspicion that the university
fears that its hold on the members of
the next legislature will not be so
strong as it is on the members at this
session as Indicated by the action of
the university in grabbing off appropri-
ations from this legislature that will
not even become available until after
the next legislature has adjourned.
More members may be sent to the next
session with instructions to be a little
independent of university domination.

State Apportioas Nearly
$4,000 of Road Fund to
this County for 1914.
2 TOWNS TO HOLD ELECTION

Kenosha county is to expend $50, 600
for the building of rural highways next
year as County Clerk Jones this morn
ing received from the state highway
commission a statement of the amount
from the state fund apportioned to
Kenosha county. Under the apportion-
ment made by the state commission
this county will receive $19,92O provid-
.ded the county and the towns raise an
equal amount. The towns must make
their appropriations on or before the
fifteenth of August and the county
levy must be made at the meeting of
the county board to be held in
November.
The officials of the state board de
clared that it is probable that it will
be possible for Kenosha county to Sc
cure further state aid if appropriations
made by the towns and the county
/ boards WARRANT an increase.
1t is certain that there will be some
Of the counties in the state in which
the amount apportioned to them by
the state will not be raised and this
money will be placed into pot"
for second division The towns in the
county have already voted to raise
&c. 800 and special town meetings will
be called by both Bristol and Somers.
The people Of Somers are very much
in favor of the good roads plan and
| it is thought that this town will vote
not less than $4,000 and it is possible
that larger sum will be voted. The
town of Bristol is expected to vote a
thousand dollars. These are the only
towns in the county which have not
already voted highway money. In adj
dition to these amounts will be the
amounts to be raised by the Kenosha
Automobile Club. The club had turned
over $1,000 to Somers and another
81 900 to the town of Pleasant Prairie
and it is certain that $4,000 more will
be raised as prizes in the road contest.
This would bring the total road money
Of the county up to more than $4,000
and it is certain that the subscriptions
on the different roads will bring the
grand total up to the apportionment
fixed by the state. Should the county
apportionment be increased it is pretty
certain that the state highway commits
sion would find a way to give a pro-
portionate addition to the state money.
The money now being apportioned is
available for the building of roads in
1914. Last year the apportionment for
Kenosha was a little over $4,000, so
that the coming year will make pos
sible an increase of $4,000 in the
amount to be expended for the build
ing of permanent highways in the
county. The apportionment is made in
keeping with the population of the
county.

MANY PEOPLE POISONED.
Canned Chicken at Lake Resort Caused
Many to be Taken Sick

Victims of alleged ptomaine poison
ing, dozen people, several of them
from Kenosha, were taken i'll at Powers
Lake on Sunday evening and while all
of them are now said to be out of
danger the doctors in and about the
summer resort were kept busy with
stomach pumps and emetics before the
patients were declared out Of danger.
Mrs. John Ward Of Kenosha was one
of the most seriously affected by the
alleged poison and she was brought to
her home in Kenosha on Monday af-
ternoon and is still under the care of
a physician. Her condition is not
thought to be dangerous. Reports from
the lake attribute the poisoning to
canned chicken which had been served
for supper Sunday evening at one Of
the resorts, but physicians who have
attended the victims declare that SINH
lar cases have been reported from other
resorts, particularly at resorts on the
Michigan lake district. 1t is declar-
ed that the illness of people in these
districts has been attributed to
changes of water rather than to
ptomaine poisoning.

SLOW TO SEEK LICENSES.
Kenosha Boxing Promoters Want tc
Know Who Will be on Commission.

Know Who Will be on Commission.
Not one Of the boxing show promot-
ers in Kenosha has made any move to
secure a license under the new boxing
commission bill notwithstanding the
fact that applications for permits have
been filed from many cities in the state.
The local promoters do not seem to be
interested in getting the first permit
and evidently they believe that there
will be plenty of time to get the shows
started after the boxing commission has
been named by the governor. The gov
ernor is not showing any undue haste
in naming the commission and he is said
to have announced that he will con-
slider the qualifications of every apph-
cant before making any appointments.

Many Edgefeld people take their

complaint FOR several osyears and my
health was so badly run down that
l could hardly get around. The kid
ney secretions were in bad shape

On various occasions I have used
Doan's kidney pills and have re-
ceived world of good. They have
made me feel like another person.

Barbecue in Compliment t
Merchants.

During the past few years Edg :
field has contributed a considerable
number Of recruits to the vast army
of travelling statesmen who make
regular tours of this and adjoining
states supplying the needs of the
retail merchants. In order to show
their appreciation of the liberal
business accorded them, the Edge
field travelling men have planned q
barbecue to be given in Judge De-
Vore's grove Friday, May 80, in
compliment to the merchants of
Edgefeld and the country mer-
chants of the county. Covers will
be laid for 100 persons, fully that
number or more invitations having
been issued. The hosts will also III
clude in their list of guests jobbers
and manufacturers whom they rep
resent. This bringing of the whole
sale and retail merchants together
will be promotive of the welfare OF
both. Personal acquaintance and
personal contact greatly facilitate
the transaction of business, making
the business relations more pleasant
to sll parties. A prominent speaker
has been invited to deliver an ad
dress in the afternoon and it is
probable that there will be short
after-dinner speeches by several of
the travelling men themselves. The
hosts on this occasion will be 7. E.
