NEED MORE CAUTION
State Fire Marshal Says
Farm Fire Losses are Due
to Carelessness.
SEPARATE BUILDING FOR AUTO

That three fourths Of the fire losses
on farms in Wisconsin are preventable
and due to carelessness is the state
ment made in the fire warning sent to
farmers of the state on Wednesday by
State Fire Marshal T. M. Purtell.
Mr.. Purte1l says that the loss of life
and property is much greater in the
country by fire than it is in the larger
cities.
Farm property he says, lis in
sured at only small part Of its value
and when fire does visit farm, the
farmer is a heavy sufferer. Farmers
are not limited to a small building site
and it is folly to place the buildings
so close together that fire in one of
them can make a clean sweep.
fLightning leads the list of need
less and preventable fire causes, al
though it has been demonstrated that
a good lightning rod system, properly
installed and well grounded, will pre-
vent fires. Defective fues and stove
pipes and the placing Of wood near
stoves are responsible for a large
share of the farm residence fires. This
is true of those fires reported as cause
unknown though the fire started in
the attic or near chimney smok-
ers' carelessness is another cause for
a large number of fires and will con-
tiaue to be until farmers and help re-
frain from smoking in and around
barns and near hay, grain, and stacks.
Mrs. OiLeary's COW is about the
only creature that has left Chicago for
the farm and she is up to her old
tricks Of kicking over the lantern that
might have been hung up with more
safety. Tramps, with their dangerous
pipes could be kept out of buildings
at night if the doors were provided
with proper locks.
Another cause of fires on the farm
which is generally overlooked is the
automobile. More and more of these
machines are being. used and the fact
can not be too strongly urged upon the
owners of cars that. the automobile
should be housed in separate build
ing and so should gasoline. =

FIND ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Coroner's Jury Unable to Find Any
Further Facts in Regard to Owens.

The coroner's jury called to investi
gate the death of William Owens found
dead along the tracks of the Chicago
and Northwestern road north of Win
throp Harbor, held an inquest on Wed
nesday evening and returned verdict
of accidental death. No one could be
found who could give any details of
the manner in which Owens met his
death and the only evidence was given
by the lnen who found the body. 1t
was the opinion Of the members of the
jury that Owens was struck by train
and instantly killed.

GETS JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT.
John G. Milloy Gets Judgment for $500
Against John r. Schimitz.

In the municipal court this morning
John A. Milloy secured a Judgment for
$500 against John T.. Schimitz. The
suit was brought by Milloy following
injuries in an automobile accident and
the defendant failed to appear to de-
fend the suit. Milloy claimed in his
action that he was riding a bicycle
along Rowland avenue on Oct. oath
last when he was struck by an automo-
bile drivenby Schimitz. He was thrown
from the wheel and seriously injured.
He asserted in court that later Schinitz
sought to make a settlement and ad-
mitted liability. Schimitz paid abso-
lutely no attention to the action
brought in the municipal court. He
neither made answer to the complaint
or sent an attorney to represent him
and judgment was entered by default.
The attorney for Milloy will probably
take an attachment on the automobile
to secure the payment Of the Judgment.

Club Tips in London.

"A London letter says: "This has
been the week during which the West
End clubs have collected their annual
gifts for the club servants, which make
up to them the lack of tips during the
other fifty-one weeks of the year, and
it is estimated that in about two score
of the better known clubs the total
gifts reach 100000. Some estimates
put the figure as high as $4,000, but
the former figure is believed to be more
nearly correct.
Individual subscriptions range from
$50 to $25 by cabinet ministers down
to the 10 shillings Of the choleric ma
ior, who swears it is blackmail, but
nevertheless subscribes,
The Carlton club, which, if not the
richest of London clubs, is generally
the most generous, averages in the
neighborhood of $4,000 for its staff.
The National Liberal, which an point
of numbers is the greatest of clubs,
collects almost. as much, while the
more select Reform reaches about
$4,000.
Cabinet ministers are always gen
erous subscribers at both the National
Liberal and the Reform, and average
about $25 each Mr.. Balfour is cerdit-
ed with being the most generous
among public men to club servants.
He belongs to at least half a dozen
clubs, most of which he seldom enters,
but he never forgets the servants
fund of any OF them.

The Woolen stovepipe.

MANY SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE
Old Question of the Right to Retain
Fees for Marriage Permits is Raised
by the Auditor County Makes Dou-
BILE Payments of Orders.

all given clear bill IN the annual
audit of the records of the county
which was presented to 5he county
board by Auditor Charles II. Winke
Thursday The audit shows that the
books in all Of the offices are found to
be correct and with the exception of
few suggestions for the betterment
of the keeping of the records the
auditor has few recommendations to
make. The report shows the double
payment of number of claims against
the county, the total amount Of the
double payments being little over
hundred dollars. The orders for these
bills have been issued, but the parties
! to which they were drawn have not
called for the orders and 1T will be an
easy matter to correct the mistak es
of the county board by directing that
the orders be cancelled.
The report shows that the county is
still entitled to a rebate from the
state treasurer to the amount of
$297.28 which was paid over to the
state for fines collected in 1910.
Former County Treasurer Charles Wal
Ilig made repeated efforts to secure
repayment Of this money to the county
Thy the state treasurer, but there has
been no refund and at the suggestion
of the former treasurer a special bill
will be introduced in the legislature
directing that this amount be paid
back to Kenosha county by the state.
It is possible that at the same time
| the legislature will make some provi-
sion for the rectifying Of such mis-
takes when they occur in the future.
The auditor suggests that new sys-
tenn Of records be secured for the
county treasurer s office and that these
include some way of keeping track
of correspondence of the Office.
The audit Of the books Of the high
way commissioners shows overdrafts
to the amount of 5000. A part of this
is on the Park avenue road and part
on the Wilmot road. Former Highway
Commissioner Williams has declared
that he will make good these over
drafts and it is expected that some
final settlement Of this matter will be
made at the present session of the
county board.
The auditor brings again to the at
/ tention of the board the question of
| fees earned by judges in the county
for the issuance of special permits for
marriages. There is grave doubt as to
the right of the county to collect these
| fees. The law provides that the judge
issuing the special s'permit'' may col
lect fee of two dollars for each per-
nit issued, but the collection of the
fee is optional with the judge issuing
the permit. The same question is rails
ed as to the fees received by magis-
tnates for the recording Of marriage
certificates. 1t is not probable that
the county board will take any action
to direct the payment of these fees to
the county treasurer as majority of
the members seem to be Of the opinion
that marriages performed by magis-
trates arr" not subject to county super
vision, and that on this account the
l county has no claims on these fees.
1t is probable that recomm endations
for changes in bookkeeping systems
suggested by the auditor will be
followed.

THE COBB COUNTY FAIR.

The Cobb county Fair, given by
home talent at the armory was a
great success in every way. Miss
Andrews assigned the roles appro-
priately and every scene was either
beautiful with the grace and charm
of youth or sparkling with comedy.
The program was long but there was
not a dull moment in it. Space will
not admit mention of even of the
soloists and bright particular stars"
of the show. The civic league
cleared nearly $4,000 in spite of
the inclement weather.
Miss Laura Wyatt and Miss Mary
Atkinson, two charming visitors to
Marietta, added greatly to the sue
cess of the Cobb County Fair. Miss
Wyatt appeared as a Spanish dane
er and Miss Atkinson sang.
