WAS COMEDY OF ERRORS.
Chicago Man Searches FOR Son While
Farmer Searches for the Father.

The story of Eldora Horton having a
five year old boy wished on him on
Wednesday afternoon proved to be a
comedy of errors for all the time that
Horton and his daughter were search
ing with the aid of the police for the
father of the boy, the father, John
Palmer of Chicago, was drilling from
store to store and from saloon to sa-
loon looking for some trace of Horton.
1t is just possible that he Chicago man
prolonged the search little in some
Of the places. He was found late We'd
nesday afternoon and went out to the
Horton farm to begin his work for the
winter. The small boy had been so en-
tirely satisfied with the treatment Civ
en- him by Horton and his daughter
that he showed no especial interest in
the finding of the father.

The latter-day dances have been dis
cussed and criticized from almost every
standpoint. To complete the list, The
Journal of the American Medical As
ISOLATION has recently raised its digni
fed and professional editorial voice il
gentle warning. cit seems somewhat
late, y it says, to enter a mild protest
against the fervor with which the new
est so-called' dances have been taken
up by public already saturated with
various nerve and mind destroying
amusements and caprices. 1t seems un
necessary to call attention to the fact
that the tango, the various waltzes, the
make, etc, are being arduously cult
waited by callow youth and cailoused
old age. The problems created by these
dances differ according to the age OF
the participants; for the young the
question of morality is paramount; fol
the old the possibility of too great a
strain on dilated heart or an arteries
elerotic vessel is apparent The physi.
elan will DO well to caution the stiff
jointed, aged patient, who derives too
great pleasure from those to him
harmful amusements.

DECLARES II ECONOMICAL PLAN
Sends Plans For Installation in Keno
nosha and Insists That His Filter
May be Installed at Cost of About
Half That of Other Plants.

t. M. Mahan of Chicago, wants to
get in on the ground floor if there is
to be system of filtration installed
in Kenosha and this morning Mayor
Head received communication from
the Chicago man enclosing plans for the
installation Of a filtration plant for
the city. The cost of the plant is not
given, but Mahan claims that it can
be installed for half the cost of any
plant that has been considered by the
city. Mahan claims that his filter IS
new thing in the line of water puri-
fcation. He is the inventor of what he
calls The Upward Filter The plans
indicate that the filter is of the slow
sand type, but it is made up Of q series
of filtration tanks, each tank having a
capacity Of 100000 gallons of water in
twenty four hours. The maker claims
that the filters are economical in use
and that costs of operation will be far
below the cost o. operating any other
filtration plan now on the market.
The filter is self cleaning. At the
end of the day or filtration period the
operator simply reverses the flow OF the
water and all of the impurities taken
out Of the water during the day are
washed from the filter into sewer.
Mahan claims that he has made many
experiments with the filter and that
they have proven successful He gives
no references to cities in which the fl
tiers are now n use, but gives refer
ence to officials of the government in
charge Of the building of public build
ings at Kansas City, Mo. A number
Of the flters were installed for the gov
eminent at this point and letters from
the officials declare that they cleaned
the water from the Missouri river per-
fectly and delivered it to the buildings
free Of all impurities
Mahan claims that his filter will turn
out clearer and purer water than any
type of filter on the market today He
has made an offer to come to Kenosha
and demonstrate the workings Of his
filter and it is probable that his sugges-
ton will be accepted. Mayor Head has
turned the matter over to the water
commission as the commission is to
have full charge of the handling of the
filtration question from now on.
The members Of the commission are
expecting to get some very interesting
figures from the Norwood company
which installed the filtration plant at
the Brass works. A letter has already
heen sent to this company asking that
the company submit plans and speci-
fcations for filtration plant for the
city and make an estimate of the cost
of installing such plant.

KENosHA PAINTER CHASED.
John Onstott Has Contractor Arrested
For Chasing Him With Ratchet.


John Stroecher, q well known CON
tractor of Kenosha, was arrested Fri
day afternoon on warrant sworn out
by John H. Onstott, estimator for a
painting firm, also of Kenosha.

ing chase on motorcycle after an in
terurban car on which Stoecher and
bound for Kenosha.
Onstott claims that besides throwing
hammer at him, Stoecher also chased
him with Ratchet and threatened his
life.
According to Onstott his firm was
hired by Stoecher to do the painting
of new saloon building at the cor
ner of State and Huron streets. The
painting was completed yesterday, but
Stoecher claimed that it was not mp to
standard and that only one coat had
been applied. An argument ensued
which resulted in Stoecher throwing
hammer at Onstott and later chasing
him along State street with Ratchet

Revken of Racine, King Of the Junk
Dealers, came to Kenosha in the
custody of sheriff Achen on Friday af-
ternoon and appeared in the municipal
court to answer a charge of issuing a
worthless check in the sum of twenty
five dollars. Revken protested that he
had meant no wrong when he issued the
check and that he believed that he had
money enough III the bank to pay it.

that he had no intention of defrauGing
John Reienbach of Somers, who had
signed the complaint on which the war
rant was issued Kevken through his
attorneys made !; strong plea to be Civ
en- chance to make good and after
considerable discussion the charges
against the Racine man were dismissed
on his paying the costs fnd making
good the amount of the check. At
tOrnevs for Revken declared that he
had been hard hit in the present year.
He had served term of four months
in the Racine county Jail and his fnan-
cial condition they declared was not
what it used to be. They held
that he was willing to pay up the check
and it was entirely satisfactory to the
complainant. 1t was discovered that
there was another Kenosha county man
who held one of Revkan +. checks which
had been protested. In this case the
check was for considerable amount.
The man declined to make a complaint
against Revken and after the Redeem
bach case had been closed Revken made

other check and he was permitted to

Some Of the prominent members of
the assembly are muck exercised over
the refusal of the physicians of the state
to make examinations required under
the eugenics la,. : the fees set in the
measure. The lawma7 declare shat
the law was introduced at the request
of physicians and never would have
so, ~ - ioe stature except for
the strong support of the doctors 1t
is matter of record that the doctors
approved the submission of the bill,
but it is evident that such thing as
the legislature putting limit on the
fees to be charged for the examinations
they are required to make under the
law was no part of the program as
outlined by the doctors Unless the leg
islature is prepared to go to the length
of having the state or the counties
assume part of the expense of making
the kind of tests the physicians now
contend are necessary If the intent of
the law is 10 be carried out, the law
shonld be repealed ut once. The cost
of having the kind of an examination
that the doctors insist is necessary
would be pr any prohibitive for
many people and on their own state
ments the purely perfunctory examina-
tions they can afford to make for the
three dollar ee are no value.

People on Down Town Streets Find
Christmas Spirit in Nominations.

Kenosha had a real red light district
on Friday night for from one end of
Main street to the other and on many
side streets red lights twinkled in two
score Of Christmas trees which had
been set up along the curbs of the
street and they brought a new sugges-
ton of the Christmas spirit. The trees
attracted many people to the down
town streets and it was declared by
merchants that they saw a large in
crease in business as a result. The
trees will remain during the holiday
season AMI they will be Illuminated
every night.
