DAY OLD BABY IS ORPHANED
Man Had Come to Kenosha to Notify
Friends and Relatives of the Arrival

The mangled body of Joseph Comen-

employee of the powder mills at
Pleasant Prairie, was found along the
right of way of the western division of

ing. Comenski had evidently met
death under the wheels of a train some
time during the night and it is sup

the Borden milk train which left Ke-

day night. No report of any accident
had been made to the officials of the
railway company at Kenosha and the
first that was known of the killing of

RACINE COUNTY HAS BIG BILL
Care of Patients Suffering From Tu-
berculosis Proves to be One Of the
Big Items of the Annual Bill From
the State Board of Control.

County Clerk Russell H. Jones this
morning received from the state board
of control the bills for the care of Ke-
nosha county patients in the various
state institutions ana the total of these
bills is $13, $4,000. This is the largest
bill ever sent to the county for the
care of dependents. The largest amount
is from the asylum for the chronic in
sane in Racine county, this amounting
to $9,045.43 In addition to this amount
claimed by the asylum some of the
charges for the care of Kenosha coun-
ty patients have been paid by the rela-
tives of the patients. The report from
the state board shows that go insane
patients from Kenosha county are now
being cared for at the Racine county
institution, the number showing con-
siderable increase over the former year.
One Of the big items of the bill is
from the state tuberculosis hospital at
Wales. The county must pay l,224.29
for the care of thirteen patients at this
institution during the year just closed.
This amount is also largely in excess
of the amount paid for the same pur-
pose last year. The big cost of caring
for patients at Wales will be strongly
urged before the county board as an
added reason for the county of Keno
sha maintaining its own institution for
the care of tubercular patients. The
report shows that the county has Is
boys confined at the industrial school
for boys at Waukesha and the cost of
the care of these boys for the year
was $523.80. At the state hospital for
the insane at Mendoza, the detention
hospital for state cases, Kenosha had
thirty-five patients during the year and
the fees due this institution from the
county amount TO $2,305.09. At the
northern hospital at Winnebago, the
county had seven patients and the bill
for their care is $4,000. The report
shows that the county has one patient
at the Douglas county asylum at Supe-
riol but his bills are paid entirely by
relatives. One bill is still to come in
and that is the bill for the support of
patients at the state home for the fee
BILE minded at Chippewa Falls. This
will amount to only few hundred dol
lars.
Between now and the time set for the
meeting of the county board County
Clerk Jones will make an effort to col
leet a considerable amount of the
charges for the care of insane patients
at the various asylums and bills will
be sent to the relatives of all the pa
tients. 1t is expected that the people
who are financially able to pay these
fees will pay them at once apd under
the order of the county board the clerk
and district attorney are empowered
to bring suits for the collection of the
fees, No suits have been brought in
former years but it is certain that suits
will be started this year and contested
through the courts if necessary. Fully
80 per cent of the charges should be
paid for by relatives of the unfortu-
mates.

TO CLOSE PUBLIC DUMP
City Will no Longer Maintain Dumping
Place for the Use of Private Compan-
les Engaged in the Collection of Gar
bage in the City.

As a result of long conferences be-
tween Henry Wagner of Cincinnati
and the members of the street and al
ley committee Of the council on Satur-
day, the Wagner company has been in
yited to submit to the city council at
its next session formal proposition
for the reduction Of the garbage of
Kenosha under plan providing for the
municipal collection of the garbage.
The committee is convinced that the
Wagner system of treating garbage is
the best to be secured for a city the
size Of Kenosha and it is thought that
a plant can be fully equipped at a cost
not to exceed $4,000. Members of
the committee and Mr.. Wagner visited
various sites on Saturday afternoon
and it is declared that the property on
the island back of the poorhouse is an
ideal site for the erection of the plant.
Mr. Wagner will have his formal
proposition in. the hands of the commit
tee before the next meeting of the
council.
1t is proposed to make the collection
of garbage purely municipal in Keno
sha in the future and the committee
viii ask the council to enact an ordi-
nance giving the city power to assess
an annual tax against every piece of
property in the city to pay the cost of
equipping and maintaining the plant.
1t is proposed to charge this tax di-
rectly to che property and make it
necessary for the property owners to
collect the amount charged in rent from
the tenants. 1t is declared that in no
case win the annual It ak exceed $500
and it is thought that this will be re-
duced when the plant has been in OPP
Grafton for short time
Chairman Hegeman of the street
committee declared this morning that
the city should no longer furnish a
dumping ground for the use of private
firms engaged in the collection Of gar
hage. 1t is costing the city more than
$500 week to maintain dumping
ground and it is alleged by the chair
man of the committee that the ground
is used almost entirely by the collec
tors of garbage. He holds that these
men should secure their own dumping
grounds and that the city should not
be forced to make any expenditure in
the maintaining Of such grounds. For
years the city has maintained public
dumping place and men have been en-
ployed under the street department. to
take care of it
Chairman Hegeman states that the
cost of maintaining the dumping place
! has been in the neighborhood of $1,800
year and that the city has received
absolutely no return from this expen-
| diture.
Men interested in the collection of
garbage have already taken steps to
secure private grounds to be used as
dumping places and it is thought that
this burden will be lifted from the
shoulders of the city at once. Should
the city decide to go ahead and build
a garbage reducing plant at once it is
thought that the plant could be con
strncted during the winter months and
be ready for use with the opening
of the spring.

Ramblers and MacWhytes
Battle to Tie Score at Soc
Ger on Sunday Afternoon
new TEAM IN HARD CONTEST

The soccer enthusiasts of the city

jured and was forced out of the game
for 9 portion of the period and during
his absence the visiting team scored
and the first half closed with a score of

After looking over the-records of
the Giants against the Cubs, Pirates
and Phillies this year, their license
to head the. National League pennant
fight is not "shrouded in mystery"
using the language of our best little
reporters.
McGraW's men have met the min
ions of the Trojan twenty-one times
this year, and IA times they got the
verdict, for percentage of .667, only
two points under their mark made
against the other clubs.
With the Pirates McGraw has made
just as good a record. Trouble was
encountered in Philadelphia. early in
the year, but the Quakers broke be-
fore the Giant attack in a mid-season
series and were knocked SO far down
they never fully recovered.
There lies the secret of McGraw,s
success consistent performance
of his team against every club in the
league. He has not fattened off of
the lowly boys and broken even with
the first division squad. All looked
alike when stacked against the
Giants.
Macks works on a different prin-
ciple. Break even or a little better
with the second and third teams, and

Champ KiIbane Beats ]. Walsh
Nelson After Wolgast.

Johnny Kilbane, featherWelght
champion, is out to prove that he is
still the top man in his class, despite
the questionable draw he got with
Johnny Dundee several months ago.
KiIbane secured verdict over Jim
nv Walsh in II rounds at Boston last
night, the first battle he has fought
since the Dundee affair. In two pre-
vious meetings the best Kilbane could
get with the Boston lad was draw.
Backers of the champion are point
ing to his last nights performance
as an indication that he is as good
as ever was. The only way Kilbane
can prove this is to continue to fight
the best men in his weight. Dundee
has graduated to the lightweight divi-
sion. so there is no chance for him
to get another crack at Klbane.
Charlie White, who won a hollow
victory over Mickey Sheridan in Ra-
cine Monday night, wants a whack at
Dundee. He also is willing to hook
with Leach Cross or Willie Richie.
White is not yet ripe for the Richie
game, but if he gets matched with
Dundee the argument should be close
and holly contested.
Bat Nelson, whose typewriter has
been idle for some months, is pound
ing the keys again. The former
champion is now after a bout with
AID Wolgast, also a former light
weight champion. Bat proposes to
have the scrap pulled off in a Mil
waukee ring Oct. Is. He agrees to
-concede catchweights, and promoters
are trying to get Wolgast's name to
articles of agreement.
Leach Cross and Joe Rivers have
signed for a twenty-round bout to be
pulled off at Vernon, Cal, the 7th or
18th of October They have met
twice before, each time in draw.
