GUARD BURGLAR ALL NIGHT
Silver Lake Men Take Man Who
Broke Into Windermere Club House.

Anton Thompson, a man claiming to
be from Chicago, is held at the county
jail charged with burglarizing the club
house of the Windermere club at Sill
yer Lake on Tuesday. He was brought
in this morning by Deputy Sheriff John
Mutz after he had been held under a
guard at the home of Henry Colby at
Silver Lake all Tuesday night. Thomp
son is alleged to have entered the club
house early Tuesday afternoon and was
going through the various rooms when
his presence in the place was discoy
cred by Carl Isleng. He hurriedly
called the men of the village and they
began to lombard the place. Thomp-
so managed to get out and crawled
under the building. He refused to come
out until Isleng, armed with a revolver,
went under after him. Isleng brought
his man out and he was taken to the
Colby home and Colby and Isleng
guarded him all night. He was brought
to Kenosha this morning and it is
planned to give him a hearing in the
Municipal Court late this afternoon.
The man refusedto make any state
ment in regard to his presence in the
deserted club house.

Effort Being Made to Or
ganize Opposition to the
Mann Sewage Bill.
SAY CHICAGO men RE7ALIA7E

formal movement to oppose the
passage Of the Mann bill against the
emptying of sewage in the lake is be-
ing started in various cities along the
north shore and an effort is TO be
made to secure organizations in all
of the cities to fight the passage of
the bill. The opposition to it is not
being based on the cost that it will
be to the cities on account Of their
being forced to secure new means
to dispose of their sewage, but rather
to the fact that the bill is framed bv
Chicago men IN order to retaliate on
the other cities for opposition to the
recent demand for more water for the
sanitary canal. This statement is an
error as it is a well known fact that
the presentation of this bill was urg-
cities as well as the Chicago men.
At the recent gathering of the Lake
Ah1CHISdu CdHlbdly E1oSUC1dllUH Ill Mill
waukee at which delegates from prac-
tically every city on the lake were
present the bill was given a unanimous
endorsement. In Milwaukee active
steps are being taken to send repre-
sentatives to Washington to lobby in
favor of the bill and it is probable
that Kenosha will be asked to send a
representative in the same party.
There is no doubt but that the bill
will meet with the support Of all the
people who have been waging war to
secure pure water 1t may Ds that
some Chicago men would be satisfied
to see the cities on the lake forced to
expend large. sums to find way to
dispose of the sewage but it is certain
that the passage of the law will be a
great thing for. all cities securing wat
er supply from the lake.

Northwestern Station at
Bristol Entered by Bur-
glars Early Today.
TAKE SUSPECTS IN KENOSHA

The station of the Northwestern
Railway Company at Bristol was en-
tered by burglars some time last night
and the men got away with money to
the amount of $40 and it is thought
a large number of railway tickets.
The burglary was discovered when the
station was opened for business this
morning. The men had made their
way into the station by breaking out
one of the windows and once inside
they had thoroughly ransacked the
place. The money drawer and the
ticket case had both been forced open.
It was expected that the men would
come to Kenosha on the milk train this
morning and the police of the city had
an early morning call to search the
milk train. No suspects were found
on the train, but two men who had
dropped off the train just before it
reached the station were rounded up
by the police and they are being held
as suspects. The men gave their names
as Harry Anderson and Barney Olson
and both claimed to be residents of
Chicago. They have been working on
the ice in the western part of the
county. Both declared that they had
never been in the village of Bristol.
They had small sum of money on
their persons when arrested. It was
claimed that these two men had been
spending money freely in saloons at
Pleasant Prairie at an early hour this
morning. However, the amount spent
with the amount found in their poe
kets was considerably less than the
amount taken from the railway sta
ton. Two men, both wearing cor
duroy caps and gray overcoats, were
seen hanging about the Bristol sta
ton late Tuesday evening and it is
thought that these two men viii be
able to give some information in re-
gard to the robbery. A search for
these men is being made at all points
along the railway to the west of
Kenosha.

MRS. WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE
PATCH

"Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch' comes to the Rhode next Fri
day night, so logically true TO human
nature in this play, SO genuinely good
and lovable is Mrs. Wigs, and so stir
ringly do pathos and comedy succeed
each other that there is little wonder
that English audiences have taken so
kindly to the dear optimistic lady Whc
has created no end of fun for the past
five seasons from one end o. the
United States to the other. "We are
glad to know Mrs. Wigs of the Cab
bage Patch and all the little Wiggses.
They are family of which America
may well be proud" says the London
Tribune. In fact all Of the London
dramatic critics have taken kindly to
Mrs. Wigs which bids fair to con
tinue as the attraction at Terry s
theatre for several years to come.
With one accord reviewing critics are
unanimous in declaring that, cit is
clean and wholesome, and presents a
most convincing manner the joys, sor-
rows, and romances of close to-na ture
people. The play viii be presented

Health Department to Make Investi-
cations to Stop Spread Of Disease.

Believing that scarlet fever is be-
ing spread by men from quarantined
homes working in the factories of the
city Health Commissioner McShane
today started to make an inyestiga-
ton of the factories. He started the
work at the plant of the Simmons
Manufacturing Company: Several
cases of scarlet fever have been re-
ported among the men at this plant
and it is thought possible that foreign
workmen employed at the plant are
breaking quarantine. Complaints for
examination of men in other plants
have been made and these will be TAX
en- up just as soon as possible. tWe
fear that men from quar- antined homes
may be working in some of the fac
tories,' said DR.. McShane today,
and We are going to make every
possible effort to locate these men.
Should we find that this is the case
the men will be arrested and prose-
cuted to the fullest extent of the
law

FIRST ACCIDENT IN Is YEARS
Young Brakeman Was Thrown Under a
Train at Balm Station on Tuesday
and Died Early This Morning at Ike
nosha Hospital-Both Legs Crushed.

George Senft, aged 81 years, resid-
ing at $40 Walker street, Milwaukee,
died at the Kenosha hospital just af-
ter four O'Clock this morning from
shock following injuries under a train
at the Balm station of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway at Balm on Tues
day. Senft fell under car and had
both of his legs terribly mangled. He
was brought to Kenosha on a special
train and hurried to the Kenosha hos
pital, but from the first the physicians
in attendance had no hope of his re-
covery.
Senft was employed as a brakeman
by the company and while compare
lively young man he had been en-
ployed at various work in connection
with the railway for more than fifteen
years. This was the first time that
he had met with any kind of an acct
dent. Senft was working with a crew
in charge of a wrecker and the train
had gone to Balm station to clear up
a little trouble on Tuesday morning.
He was alone at the time of the acct
dent and for this reason the manner
in which he met his injuries is shroud-
ed in mystery. He was acting as a
"rearo brakeman on a switch train
when one of the cars broke loose from
the remainder of the train. Senft ran
down the track and attempted to- Get
on the car to apply a brake when in
some manner he slipped and fell under
the car. Both of the trucks passed
over him. The left leg was severed
by the car trucks just below the knee
and the right leg was terribly nlangled.
The injured man was found a few
minutes after the accident by other
members of the crew. He was consci-
GUS and showed great nerve in direct
ing the men in removing him to the
station. A special train was made up
as soon as possible and the injured
man was brought to the hospital.
Senft was born and raised in Mil
waukee aud was widely known among
railway men. His brother, Frank
Senft came to Kenosha this morning
and made arrangements to have the
remains sent to Milwaukee. They
were taken to Milwaukee this after
noon and the funera! will be held from
one Of the Milwaukee churches on
Friday morning. Senft was not
married
An inquest will be held by Coroner
M1llager on Thursday and members of
the train crew will be called to Keno
sha in an effort to get further light
on the accident.

Have you had the mumpsg~ If you
have not better look out for there is
an epidemic of that strange swelling
of the glands so particular to child
hood days and the health officials are
watching closely for the appearance
of the disease in this city. The city
of Racine has more than five hundred
people, including many adults, suffer
ing from humps. The cases ara es-
pecially prevalent among the foreig
ners in that city. In Kenosha there
have been few cases of the disease
reported, but it is pretty certain that
within few days the disease will
show UP here. Kenosha usually has
many cases Of mumps at this season
of the year, but notwithstanding the
fact that they are epidemic III snr-

1t is claimed that many OF the cities
SLIGHTLY smaller show ever Q larger
rate Of taxation, than Oshkosh which
is placed as highest in the state by
the Milwaukee men. In Fond du Lac
it is declared that the taxes are con-
siderably higher, but, it is probable
that the valuation there is not an
actual valuation. These figures do not
represent the mill tax levied in the
cities, but the tax that would be
levied on an actual valuation of the
property if the same amount of money
was to be raised. The figures of the
state tax commission given out lit
tie over year ago gave Kenosha the
same place in regard to taxes as
sessed and collected.
These figures should be of great in
terest to Kenosha people and they
should have a tendency to make them
meet the present levy with less OBJ
lection.

OSHKOSH LEADS IN HIGH LIST
Kenosha Taxes Shown to be Much Low
or Than Those Collected in the Nine
Largest Cities of State This Year
Racine Nearly 5 Mills More

Statistics which have been prepar-
ed by the tax commissioners Of Mil
waukee, at great deal of trouble and
expense, indicate that Notwithstanding
ing the complaints that have been
made against the tax levy in Kenosha
this year that this city has lower
tax levy than any one of the ten
larger cities Of Wisconsin. The levy
in Kenosha this year is $ll.O0 for eatb
thousand dollars and the assessment
is made on what is regarded as very
close to full value, although it is adj
mitted that in some cases property
has been returned to a little less than
its sale value. Next to Kenosba in
the state is Milwaukee which shows
a tax Of 1854 thousand on actual
valuation. The figures from the diff
ferent cities were as follows:
