LOST MEMORY RETURNS.
"Mind Reader" Whose Own Mind
Failed to Recall Names or Places.

The light of memory is slowly be-
ginning to sift through few inches in
the wall of darkness that surrounds
the mind of Prof" Harry Lawrence,
patient at the General Hospital. Law
renee is a vaudeville performer, whose
act consists in reading the minds Of
others. Yet he cannot read his own
mind now enough to recall his name
However, Lawrence is now able to re-
member some details of his life be-
fore he reached the hospital.
Recently Lawrence was in wheel
chair in the ward and tried to answer
questions that were put to him. When
he would remember something he
would clap his hands and laugh as a
child who bad just achieved q particu-
lar feat.
II formerly owned an orange grove
in San Bernardino, Cal, he said, but
sold that some years ago. My wife has
been dead some time, and my three
children Henry, Estella and jeanette
ARE living on a farm that / purchas-
ed In Indiana. I can't remember where
that farm is now. / wish I could"
Physicians at the hospital are under
the impression that this may be a
case of psychic epilepsy, which is dis
tirguished from the more common
kind, In the fact that it is accompanied
by no commissions. The patient suffers
from a loss Of memory, but appears to
be normal otherwise. Another theory is
that the loss Of memory may be due
to brain necrosis. This is caused by the
cutting off OF the blood supply from
any part Of the brain, making that
part useless as a thinking machine

The word "scarecrow" would never
have come into being if the farmers
of old had possessed the knowledge
of our department Of agricunSlre, for
the nondescript images that have dis
figured our cornfields for generations
are now declared by that department
to be superf1uous. The crow is good
bird, according to the departments ex-
perts. A careful examination of it's
stomach shows that the insects he
kills more than counterbalance the
small amount Of grain he destroys.

FIX VALUATION OF GAS COMPANY
Valuation of Property of Wisconsin Gas
g. Electric Co. Boosted S150,Ooo.

There will be notable increase in
the valuation of the properties of the
Wisconsin Gas & Electric Company on
the tax rolls of the city and county this
year as at a meeting on Monday after
noon at which assessors from the city,
Pleasant Prairie and Somers were pres
ent, the valuation of the property was
raised from $3.50, 900 to $4,000 Near
" all of the increase will pay taxes
III the city Of Kenosha, as only small
amount of the property Of the com
pany is taxable in the two towns. The
company was represented at the meet
ing by its attorneys and no objection
was made to the proposed increase III
valuation, the attorney declaring that
the increase was a fair one considering
the increase in the property owned by
the company.

WOULD OVER RIDE GOVERNOR
Senator La Toilette Declares for Hot
Fight on Veto of the Suffrage Amend
ment Bill by Governor McGovern-
Women Watch Fight With Interest.

Woman suffrage is to be the subject
of another legislative fight. The La
Toilette people are evidently intending
to make this an issue in the coming
campaign, and when the veto by Gov.
McGovern Of the Glenn Woman Suf
fragc measure was laid on the table on
Thursday it was with the understand.
ing among the La Toilette leaders that
the measure would be taken from the
table in the near future and that on
the day it is taken from the table it
is to be made the subject of special
order and there is to be an exciting de-
bate over the bill.
A hint in regard to the coming bat
tie was given Monday afternoon
when La Toilette s Weekly, the per-
sonal organ of United States Senator
La Toilette, was published with a
signed editorial by the senator in
which he strongly denounced the veto
by McGovern of the woman suffrage
bill and declared an attempt should be
made to pass the bill over the veto of
the governor.
The La Toilette leaders do not eX-
poet co be able to pass the bill in the
senate over the veto of the governor,
but they claim the vote will be closer
than most people think, and it is their
plan to fire some lively oratory on inc
subject previous to the vote on the
are taking over the veto there can be
very little doubt that the La Toilette
leaders have their plans all made to
make woman suffrage an issue in the
next campaign.
Just what day this last fight on
the woman suffrage bill will take place
cannot yet be said. 1t may come some
time next week and it may not come
until later. 1t is probable that some
evening will be taken for the battle
over the veto, as it is understood to
be the plan of the La Toilette people
to have as large an attendance as
possible when the bill comes up for
action so as to get complete roll call
on the bill and place every member
of the Legislature on record on the sub
ject.
The McGovern leaders do not relish
the criticisms of Senator La Toilette
over the woman suffrage bill and there
were many bitter remarks made here
Tuesday by McGovern people criticising
the editorial of the senator on the veto.
1t is well known that Gov. McGovern
has never been woman suffragist and
the woman suffrage leaders who have
been here ascribe his veto of the bill
to his personal opposition to woman
suffrage.

Boy Scouts Seek Aid of Mer.
chants in Planning for the
Celebration Of Fourth"
FEATURE ATHLETIC CARNIVAL

Committees of the Boy Scouts of
the city interested in the proposed
celebration of the Fourth of July In
the city met with Mayor Head and
several of the members of the common
council at the Y. M. G. A. building
on Tuesday evening to discuss plans
for the celebration Of the day and
this morning the various committees
named to secure prizes for the various
events and money to provide for mu-
sic and fireworks took up the matter
with the merchants and other business
men Of the city. The program for
the observance of the day has not as
yet been fully outlined However,
the big feature will be made the Ath-
letic carnival which will probably be
held at Rambler park: Ali the boys
and girls in the city will be invited
to take part in the carnival and it is
thought that generous prize list will
be secured so that prizes may be of
fered for at least a hundred events.
The question of parade on the morn
ing of Independence Day is in the
hands of a committee and this COM
mittee will make call upon the var
ious fraternal organizations in the
city and make an effort to get the CO.
operation of these organizations in
making the observance of the day a
big success. 1t is the plan of the boys
to provide for notable display of
fireworks in the city. The members of
the various patrols of the Boy Scouts
are in hearty sympathy with the move
ment and it is thought that before the
end of the week a hundred boys in
the city will be working for the sue
cess of the project.
Merchants in the city have shown a
willingness to give support to the
movement and the boys are convinced
that they will be able to pull off safe
and sane celebration that will offer a
lot of amusement for the people of
Kenosha.

Contractor for Rural High
ways Files Bonds with the
Commissioner Yesterday
START KICKING ON TREES

Contractor George R. Wade, recently
awarded the contract for the construc-
tion of the concrete roads in the county
filed his bonds with the highway COM
missioner on Wednesday afternoon and
they were forwarded to the state high
way commission for approval today.
The bonds are in the sum of $24 900
and cover the contracts for work on
South Park avenue, the Lake Shore and
Sheridan roads, The bonds are all
made by the Massachusetts Bonding
Company, a company rated as a mill
ion-dollar company. 1t is the same
company which furnished the bonds for
the Cleary- White Newman Company at
the time of the building of the trunk
sewer for the city. The company is Ii
censed to do business in Wisconsin and
it is thought that the bond will be ap-
proved by the state highway commits
sion. Mr.. Wade was seen at the Office
of the county highway commissioner
this morning and he declared that he
would be ready to start work on the
roads just as soon as the bonds were re-
that there will be any delay in the APP
prevail of the bonds and it is thought
certain that the work on all the roads
will be started by next Monday. I'm
der the provisions of the contracts
which provide that all the work be
completed by the first of August, it will
probably be necessary for the contrac-
tor to have three gangs of workmen
Materials have already been ordered
for the work and the shipment is being
delayed pending the approval of the
bonds. Much of the material for the
work can be secured within few
miles of the work.
Already the state commission is be-
ginning to get letters from Kenosha
people protesting against the removal
Of trees along the proposed routes of
the improved roads. The first complaint
has been made against South Park ave-
nue. The old line of trees which has
graced this avenue for years may have
to be cut out when the road is con
structed and letters from prominent
people in the city have been sent to
Madison asking that the engineers of
save these trees. 1t is probable that an
engineer will be sent to the county to
make an investigation of the trees
along all the roads and where possible
the trees will be saved.

The quarantining Of the hospital has
been an expensive proposition for that
institution but the moral effect of that
action by the health department has
been good. individuals will submit
with better grace to the quarantine reg
ulations when they realize that they are
enforced impartially against all alike
and that there are no exceptions made
even for so powerful an organization
as the hospital association. 1t may be
noted that the directors of the hos
pital have asked for no favors and that
they favor the same rules being i'm
posed on that institution that are i'm
posed upon all.

CLAIMED BEER WAS .DoPED. :
Joe Mitchulas Denies Dragging Beer for
Girl-Pleads Guilty to Disturbance.

The police arrested Joe Mitchulas, a
Lithuanian, on Sunday night after par
ents of a 7-year-old girl had made a
complaint to them that the defendant
had drugged mug of beer which had
been given to the girl at Neubauer
Park in North Kenosha. Mitchulas adj
mitted that he had bought beer for the
girl and her family, but denied that
there had been any drug placed in the
beer. In court he paid fine of So and
the costs of the action. There was a
movement to have the man marry the
girl but the court failed to take cog
nizance of this proposed plan and the
defendant left the court room without
assuming any matrimonial bonds.

agents of the Wisconsin Industrial com
mission recently spent month in Ke-
nosha Investigating permits issued to
child workers. A report Of her work
was sent to the judges of the city this

cially good one. A total of nine errors
was found in the records of births as
shown by the permits. Two of these
were in the county court and seven in
the municipal court. The permits COW
cred by these records will be closely in
vestigated and possibly several of them
will be revoked.
