COUNTY BOARD MAY ACT AGAIN
Money Appropriated from General Fund
to Build Institution May be Utilized
After the November Meeting of the
Board Get Together on Site.

1t now appears certain that the
question of building a tuberculosis
hospital in Kenosha county will be the
paramount issue before the coming
November session of the county board
the same as it was year ago. Keno
.sha county is trying the experiment Of
having her patients cared for in SAM
torias in other counties and the expert
ment is proving an expensive one.
Three patients have now been COM
mitted to the sanitarilm at Manitowoc
and it is said that there are twenty
others anxious to have the county pro-
vide care for them as provided by the
new Wisconsin law. The expense Of
caring for the patients is going to be
a decidedly large bill for the county to
meet. Under the law the county sana-
toria are permitted to charge for the
care of patients at the rate of ten
dollars a week. OF this amount five is
to be paid by the county from which
the patients are received and five by
the state. The annual cost for each
patient will therefore be to the county
$3.50. If there are twenty patients
from this county and this seems GER
tain, the annual bill to the county will
be in excess Of $4,000 and it is GER
tain that the amount will be, increas-
ed rather than diminished as the
county grows. These same figures
would show the cost Of taking care of
twenty patients at more than $4,000.
If the county maintained its own SAM
tarium it would still receive from the
state the So allowed for each patient
and it would be in position to ac-
cept patients from other counties.
Chairman John T Yule of the
county board who has long been active
in support Of the plan to build SAM
tarium in this dSunty, has been making
some Investigations into the matter
and he declared in an interview that
as business proposition the board
should take up the matter again and
seek to find some way to open an in
stitution in the county. The build
ing of the sanitarium was blocked last
year on account of differences in re-
gard to the site Of it, but there have
been changes on the board and it is
thought that the new board would be
able to get together on the proposition
and make some decision on site
which would make possible the build
ing of the Institution at once. Mani
towoc is said to expect revenue for the
county from the operation Of the in
stitution in that county.

have right to find out how it is ex-

are not prejudiced against the so-called

who are in fact proud of the univer-

are beginning to believe that the de-

other lobby seeking special favors from

Good Roads Boosters From
Three Cities to Meet at the
Elks' Club Dinner July 10
SEEK TO IMPROVE EAST ROAD

The Racine Commercial Club has
taken up the question of securing the
improvement of the Sheridan road along
lines which will make the thoroughfare
Of greatest value to the cities along
the lake shore and to this end E. p.
Reed, secretary of the Racine associa-
tion, has called meeting to be held
at the Elks Club in Racine on July
10Th, at which time the plans for the
road will be taken up and discussed.
The mayors Of Racine, Kenosha and
Milwaukee have been invited to ar
range delegations and these will be
entertained at dinner by the Racine
club. 1t is planned at this time to
have a conference not only Of the men
who have favored the east route from
the beginning Of the agitation for the
fprovement of the road, but also of
the men in Milwaukee who have been
active in the plan to have a road west
of the cities Of Racine and Kenosha
improved 1t is probable that the
executives of several Of the Illinois
cities will be present at the meeting.
Secretary Reed makes his invitation
to tine surrounding cities most cordial
and, holds that the question is one in
which the cities all should have an
equal interest. He holds that the Mil.
waukee plan to build the road west of
Tie lake shore would be taking the
road from the logical route and that
| such a plan would be a hindrance
rather than an advance to the growth
of Racine and Kenosha and all smaller
places between Milwaukee and Chica-
go along the lake shore.
Mayor Head has accepted the invi-
tation for the dinner and will seek to
take with him to Racine q party of
eight leading officials and business
men Of the city. Efforts will be made
to have committees named at this meet
ing, these committees to have charge Of
the solicitation Of funds for the COM
pletion of the road as originally
planned.

BRIGHTON CRIME IS RECALLED
Man Now Seeking His Liberty Was
Guilty of Brutal Murder of John
callaghan One of the Pioneers of the
Western Part of Kenosha County.

One of the most sensational crimes
ever committed in Kenosha county
was recalled today when officials of
the county received notice from the
state board of control that George
Cloves, serving a life sentence in the
state prison at Waupun for murder
committed in Kenosha county, had APP
pealed to the state board for a parole.
Cloves was sentenced to prison from
Kenosha county March %, 1894, and
for more than nineteen years he has
been a model prisoner at the institu-
tion. All of the officials in charge of
the trial are either dead or have left
Kenosha and present officials are not
inclined to oppose the granting of
the parole.
Cloves is now nearly fifty years of
age and it is said that provision has
been made to secure him employment
and he is hopeful that following the
parole he will be able to win COM
plete pardon from the governor.
The crime for which Cloves has
served nearly a score of years in the
state prison was committed out in the
town of Brighton at night fall on
February 81, 1894. The victim was
John Callaghan, at one time one of the
best known farmers Of the town of
Brighton Callaghan and his wife,
both well over sixty years of age, were
sitting alone in the Kitchen of their
home when o man came to the door
and pointing a revolver at Callaghan
demanded his money When the old
man refused to give up the money
Cloves shot him down in cold blood.
Callaghan died instantly and Cloves
escaped from the house and made his
way across the fields to the village of
Wheatland where he was captured on
the following morning by William Nc
Kesson, one time surveyor of Kenosha
county.
After his arrest Cloves stoutly de-
MED any connection with the crime
and the preliminary hearing held be-
fore Justice of the Peace John G.
Slater continued over several days.
Mrs. Callaghan, the widow of the slain
man, told the story of the shooting at
the hearing. She~declared that Cloves
had opened the door and shouted,

band had said, 81 guess you have

The most significant figures on i'm
migration are often overlooked. This
country has always been the goal Of
the immigrant, Probably no other
country, within tho same time, has
ever received so great an influx Of
foreigners; and it is to that influx we
still commonly look, But for over a
hundred years immigrants, broadly
speaking, came here to stay; and that
is not true of recent immigration.
In the last five years over two mil
lion and half aliens have left the
United States, mostly returning to
their native homes, About million
and a. half Of them have been of the
class designated as emigrants. There
never was a stronger demand for la
Dor here. Money wages never were
higher Yet last year the outflow of
alien laborers reached three hundred
thousand.
For skill, ability and capital, we
still have large prizes to offer; but
