Mrs. Julia Treadwell Skinkle
Who Attended First Free
School Dies at Hospital.
LIVED MANY YEARS IN CHICAGO

Mrs. Julia Treadwell Skinkle, aged
eighty years, widow of the late Jacob
w. Skinkle and one of the pioneer
women of Kenosha and Chicago, died
at the Kenosha hospital at noon on
Sunday after long illness from
cirrhosis of the liver. Mrs. Skinkle had
been operated on some eight weeks ago
and had recovered from the effects of
the operation, but her weakened condi-
ton left her too weak to withstand
the attack of disease.
The death Of Mrs. Skinkle marks the
passing of a woman who had an inter-
esting part in the early life Of Kenosha.
Mrs. Skinkle was a daughter of the
late Ephraim Treadwell, one of the
pioneers of Southport. She was born
in Gilboa, New York, April Is, 1884,
and in the early forties she came with
her parents to Southport. Ephraim
Treadwell was one of the early advo-
Gates of the free school system in Wis
consin and he was active with Col.
4IiOAoCA L ohh LII ESTABLISHING JhC
school at Southport. Mrs. Skinkle was
the first student in the famous old
school. She spent her girlhood and
young womanhood in Kenosha and on
October 8, 1854 she was married to
Jacob w. Skinkle. After her marriage
she went with her husband to Chicago.
For time they made their home at
the corner of State and Madison street
and in more recent years they had re-
sided at Edgewater. Mrs. Skinkle came
to Kenosha eight years ago and had
since made her home with her son,
Harry Skinkle.
Mrs. Skinkle was a motherly woman
who took great interest in her friends
and her death will come as personal
sorrow to those who knew her best
She had been active as member of
the Kenosha School Association and
her fund Of incidents Of the early school
days always made her an interesting
member of the companies at the bien-
NAL reunions of the association.
She is survived by three sons
Eugene T. Skinkle of Englewood; Har-
ry Skinkle of Kenosha, and George
Skinkle of Chicago

The regulation or suppression Of vice
in European countries is a matter of
police routine. With us it is matter
of public agitation. In European coun-
tries the police have certain set rules
to which underworld characters must
strictly adhere so that public decency
may be maintained. In the United
States citizens themselves are fire.
quently compelled to band together in
q crusade for decency and respecta-
bility. This regulation of vice by the
public has its unhealthy effects. Rout-
ing vice with brass band, with mass
meetings, and public hearings draws
attention to it from many sources
which would otherwise remain ignorant
of its existence. Curiosity swells the
stream of vice perhaps fully as much
as depravity.-Tribune.

Tax Commission Names
One Man Who Is Willing
and Competent to Serve.
ALL EXPENSES TOBE CENTRALIZED

Kenosha county has a new board of
review to pass on the income tax sched-
ules, but it is not altogether a useful
one. One member of it holds govern
ment position and has declined to
serve; another is resident of the state
of Illinois and one member-count
him-is subject to service in keeping
with the appointment from the state
tax commission. The members of the
board as named by the commission on
Monday are: Postmaster Robert Verne
Baker, Julian A. Foster of Salem, and
Frank r. Shuart of Britsol. These
same men were named as members of
the board year ago. At the time
Postmaster Baker notified the assessor
of income that he could not and would
not serve on the board. Mr.. Foster is
now living in Chicago. 1t is thought
that Mr.. Shuart will be willing to
serve. In making the appointments
the state commission went at it blind.
No suggestions were asked from the
assessor of income and evidently when
the time got short for the naming of
the board the tax commission decided
to have history repeat itself.
The board is scheduled to hold it's
first meeting on next Monday and the
facts in regard to the make up of the
board have been communicated to the
commission and it is possible that they
will take another try at appointing.
The board is appointed for one year IS
service and it is expected to complete
the work of checking some three thous-
and income statements in the shortest
possible time. The Kenosha county
board is assured of a busy time get
ting over the work in this county as
there are already lot of complaints
fled against income assessments and
scores of others will be fled just as soon
as the commission provides board
that is competent and willing to serve.
The recommendations attached to the
notification state that it is necessary
to keep the expenses down to the low
est possible limit, and in view of the
care with which the assessments have
been made, it is believed that the board
can finish one ward in one day, and
in no event should the board adjourn
to make minor additions to the roll,
unless such difference in the income
tax shall be enough to more than cover
the expenses in the matter.
The work of the income tax board
shall be confined to an examination
of the assessment roll to see if the
same is complete, and if not then add
the names omitted.
The Board shall further examine
the returns of the taxpayers and pass
upon complaint of such who claim
that their assessments are too high.
The figures of the INCOME tax asses
sor are assumed to be correct and the
burden of proof to the contrary is on
the complaining taxpayers.
The law provides that in case of
any return being made with false in
tent, and additional income is dis
covered, then such amount shall be
subject to twice the original tax.

Many Wisconsin Counties to
Have Displays in the New
State Fair Building.
NORTHERN COUNTIES STRONG

Over fifty counties will send county
exhibits to the State Fair on Sept. II to
Is, and these exhibits will be housed in
a brand new building, the gift of bus
mess men of Milwaukee. DIR. G. A.
Kletzsch, one of the Milwaukee mem
bers of the Wisconsin State Board of
Agriculture, is the sponsor for the new
structure.
The building will be seventy -six feet
wide and two hundred feet long, and
one story high, Two aisles twelve feet
wide will run through the building from
entrance to entrance, and there will be
exhibits on both sides of each aisle.
Eight doors at each end will admit peo-
pie to the building. The lighting and
ventilation viii be ideal. No conces-
sions will be allowed in the building.
The old County building will be used
to house other agricultural exhibits.
Northern Wisconsin will be especially
strong at this year S fair, and this is
notably true of the department of coun-
ty exhibits. This section of the state
will send at least 10000 patrons to the
fair. Arrangements for one delegation
of 500, which will come from Amigo by
special train, have been made at three
hotels already.
Last year thirtytwo counties sent
exhibits, but this year S county depart
ment will show eighteen more.
Preparations now being made by
northern Wisconsin counties warrant
the statement that many premiums that
have gone to southern and central Wis
consin in past years may go north this
year.

MANY SENT TO STATE PRISON
Two Years Report Shows That Keno
sha County Has Sent SO to State $
Prison and Many to Other Penal In
situations in the State Of Wisconsin.

That Kenosha county is contributing
many inmates to the institutions of
reform in the state is shown by the BIZ
ennial report of the state board of
control, copies of which were received
by County Clerk Jones and ether Off
cials of the city this morning. The re-
port covers the two years ending June
80, 1912, and it is an exhaustive one in
that it covers all the activities of the
board. Most interesting is the report
of the various state penal institutions.
The report shows that in the two
years twenty one residents of Kenosha
county were sentenced to serve terms
in the state prison at Waupun and that
in addition to this number Is people
who cams to Kenosha from other states
were sentenced to the prison. This
made a total of 80 inmates in the state
prison credited to Kenosha county in
the two years. It is notable fact that
nearly all of the prisoners sent from
Kenosha county were in the class serv-
ing from one to three years. No life
prisoners were received from this
county during the period covered by
the report. The report shows that a
majority Of the prisoners from this
county earned parole before serving
their Germs.
The report shows that in the two
years three children from Kenosha
county We're sent to the state school
for children at Sparta, that four chill
dren were sent to the home Of the
feeble minded at Chippewa Falls, that
ten Kenosha county people who had
suffered from tuberculosis, had been
treated at the state sanitarium at
Wales and had been discharged from
that institution as cured.
The report shows the total number
of Kenosha county inmates in the state
reformatory at Green Bay as O.. This
includes all prisoners sent to that in
stitution from Kenosha county since It
was opened. The number of prisoners
actually confined in the reformatory at
Green Bay is now very small as near
ly all of the Kenosha county prisoners
have either been parolled to relatives
or discharged after serving their terms.
The generous use Of the parole law I'M
der the direction of Judge Randall has
greatly reduced the number Of young
men sent from Kenosha county to this
institution. In fact, during the past
year not single commitment has been
made from this county to the reforma-
tory. The report of the state indus
trial school at Waukesha shows that
nine boys were received from Kenosha
during the two years.
The report of the insane asyiums in
the state is decidedly Interesting. 1t
shows that Kenosha county during the
two years sent a total of so alleged
insane people to the state hospital at
Mendoza and to the Northern hospi-
tai for the insane at Winnebago. No
list is made of Kenosha county patients
in the various chronic insane hospitals,
but the financial report shows that
practically all of the chronic insane
from this county are now being cared
for at the Racine county asylum.
The statistics of prisoners in county
jails during the two years shows that
the Kenosha Jail had total of SCI
prisoners in the two years.
