DEATH OF FRED G. M1LLIcAN.
Former Manager of Kenosha Phone
Exchange Died After Long Illness.

Fred G. Milligan, aged thirty-nine
years Of age and former manager of
the exchange of the Wisconsin Tele-
phone Company, IN Kenosha, died at.
the home Of his father-in-law, Fred
Parker, in the town of Pleasant Prai-
RE, just south Of the city, this morn
ing. Death was due to complication
of diseases. Mr.. Milligan had suffered
from lung trouble for more than year
and for the past two weeks he had
been confined to his bed. The deceased
was native Of Rochester, N. Y, where
he was born Sept. 16, 1874. He came
to Kenosha more than ten years ago
as telephone lineman and proved to
be one of the most valuable men ever
employed by the Wisconsin company in
this city. He was made manager of
the Kenosha exchange and served in
this capacity for term Of eight
years. Under his management the ex-
change had a great growth and many
improvements were put in. After leav-
ing Kenosha Milligan was connected
with telephone exchanges in GAINESVILLE
and other cities, but he was forced to
give up his work two years ago on ac-
count of illness. He is survived by
his widow and two small children.

The suggestion that a permanent or
ganization of the leading men of the
city and county be formed at the time
of the meeting of the farmers insti-
tute, is a good one and such an or
ganization could do much to advance
the interests of Kenosha. It requires
only better acquaintance with each
other to convince the business men of
the city and the leading men of the
county that their interests are mutual
and identical and an organization of
the kind proposed would pave the way
for an era of mutual respect and good
feeling tSat would mean much for the
future or the county. With a strong
organization shaping public sentiment
there will be rene OF the Indifference
OF downright pulling at cross purposes
that has delayed or defeated plans for
improvements that would have bene-
fitted the whole county. It is get
together movement that should have
the support of every man interested
IN the progress. of Kenosha county.

Warrant Issued For Arrest
of Fred Patee Charged
With Fraud in Deal.
CHICAGO WOMAN GIVES BOND

Alleging fraud in a land deal Fred
Patee, a Chicago man, who recently
purchased the knitting factory of
Peter and Anthony Kirellis in the Kent
building on Park avenue, was arrested
by Chief of Police Owen O'Hare on
Friday afternoon. Later he appeared
in court with Mrs. Lydia Norman, a
wealthy Chicago woman, and gave a
cash bond of 800 for his appearance
at an adjourned hearing set for next
Wednesday morning. In the complaint
on which the warrant was issued the
Kirellis brothers allege that Patee
transferred to them piece of land lii
Trego county, Kansas, and that he de-
clared that he had clear title to the
property. They allege that when they
went to take possession Of the land
they discovered that a half interest
in it was owned by one Sarah f.
Prichard Patee declared to the court
that the Misrepresentation, If any, had
been made, were on the other side of
the contract. He held that at the
time he agreed to take over the knit
ting plant here he was told that the
value of it was close to $500 and that
on this representation he had traded
to the men his interests in the eighty
acre farm in Kansas. He asserted that
the value of the plant would not ex-
coed six hundred dollars and declared
that before the adjourned date set for
his hearing he would get into court
and ask that the whole transaction be
set aside on the grounds that it was
fraudulent. The parties connected
with the action are all from Chicago
and it is expected that all facts in the
case will be brought out at the adj
journed hearing on Wednesday.

SCHOOL REPORT OUT.
Figures for First Semester Show In
teresting Facts.


The reports of public school attend
ance for the first semester Of the year
are summarized and reveal some inter
esting facts.
The total enrolment for the five
months is as follows: Kindergartens
$751; grades 279s, high school, $50,
total 1885. The average number be-
longing has been 3409. The average
number attending has been 3266.
The percentage of attendance has
been as follows: kindergarten, 81 per
cent, grades 96 per cent, high school
81 per cent
The Withdrawals have been as fol
lows: Left town SO, to work at home
%, working in shop or store Is, com
mitted to institutions 8, transferred to
parochial schools s, poor health s.
died 2, total 1856.
One significant thing about these
statistics is the large number Of child
rem entering at the kindergarten end
The educational. needs of all these
through the fifth grade must be met
Probably by the time they are ready
for it the minimum requirement will
be raised above the fifth grade, per
haps put up to the eighth grade as il
now is in Michigan. All this means
the demand for enlarged school
facilities.

President of School
Board Is Not a Candidate
For Mayor This Year.
.GORMAN PETITIONS ARE OUT

Wafer M. Ir~tc, who has been
mentioned many times in the past few
days as candidate for the nomination
for mayor at the spring primaries, set
all rumors Of this nature aside this
morning when he declared that he had
no idea of being candidate for 9ny
office at the coming election. my
friends have been very kind said
Mr.. Burke, "and they have used all
sorts of arguments to get me to come
out as candidate, but I feel certain
that at the present time my business
would not permit me going into the
race. | am taking deep interest in
tie advancement of the city, but just
at present do not see my duty to be a
candidate for mayor. 1t is possible that
az some other time would be more
open to the arguments of my friends,
which of course have appreciated
deeply -
The full list of petitions for the
nomination of former Mayor james
German were put into circulation today
and it is certain that the former mayor
is going to have strong following in
the race. He is planning to make one
Of hiJ old fashioned campaigns and it
is certain that the primary campaign
will in 10 way lack interest. The prs
sibility of the former mayors, Scholey
and German, being the only candidates
in the race may be disturbed at any
time as strong efforts are being made
to have some Other candidates ente- the
race. Friends of Joseph G. Rhode have
made renewed efforts to secure the use
of his name as candidate for mayor
and he has insisted that he is not in the
race. Mayor Dan. O. Head has repeat
ely t,la his friends that he will not
be candidate even though petitions
were taken out and circulated.
The interest being taken in the pri-
mary campaign indicates that the peo-
pie are out looking for the right man
for mayor, and it is not improbable
that the other candidates will be in the
field early next week.

FAv0Rs GRAVITY PLANT NOW
Figures on Pressure Plant as Given by
Chicago Expert Show Difference of
But Nine Thousand Dollars in Two
Systems City Engineer Investigates.

John ?. Dennison Of Chicago, head of
the Western Water Works information
Bureau in Chicago, came to Kenosha on
Friday afternoon and spent two hours
in conference with the members of the
board of water commissioners discuss
ing the question of filtration. Mr.. Den
nison brought with him complete esti-
mates of the cost of construction of
both pressure and gravity filters and
he strongly urged the building Of q
gravity filter for Kenosha. His esti-
mate of the cost of this filter was $780,
900, the details of the estimate having
been published some time ago. His es-
innate of the cost of a pressure filter
with capacity of 100000 gallons
daily was $61,77S. He urged that set
Ting basin be included if a pressure
filter was put in and with this basin
his estimate of the cost was $S1667.
Both of these estimates included every
cost in connection with the building Of
a proper building for housing the filters
and all expenses connected with making
connection with the present water sys-
tenn. The plant which he provided for
would contain twelve pressure units
with capacity of 100000 gallons each.
The estimate Of Mr.. Dennison on the
cost of a pressure filter is considerably
above the figures which have been fur
nished by other engineers and City En-
gineer Brennan is making further in
vcstigations. merre Haute, Indiana,
has a pressure filter which has been de-
cidedly successful in furnishing that
city with pure water and Mr.. Brennan
is getting in touch with the officials of
the Terre Haute company with a view
Of getting some facts as to the cost OF
that system and the company which
installed it.
The water commission expects to
have its formal report ready for the
cvuncil at its next regular meeting. 1t
is not at all certain that the water
board will recommend the installation
of any filtration system. The members
Of the board were not favorable to the
plan when it was first taken up but
they have given it a very careful study
and they may change their ideas of fl
t-ation as a result. 1t is thought Ger
tain that favorable recommendation
from the board, if such is made, will
recommend the installation Of the pres
sure form of filtration.

Sign Elevation Petition This Morning.
The petition Of the city of Kenosha

demanding the elevation Of the tracks
o. the Chicago and North West IN
Railway Company through Kenosha
was signed r. Mayor Head and City
Clerk Harrington this morning and
sent to the commission at Madison.

pany and asks the commission to make
as speedy determination of the work
to be done by the company as possible.
1t is understood that the commission
will arrange for the hearing in Keno

get the full membership of the commits
sion to come to Kenosha for the
hearing.

The council has finally decided to
abandon the attempt to locate a pest
house in one of the city parks in
thickly populated neighborhood and a
permanent isolation hospital is to be
built on some site on the city poor
farm, three thousand dollars having
been appropriated for that purpose.
The institution will be suitable for the
reception lot only of smallpox patients
but of any other cases of contagious
disease with which the city may have
to deal. Assurances have been given
by the city attorney that the city can
successfully defend it's right to erect
this hospital in this location and there
are fewer objections to the site finally
chosen than to any other the council
could have selected. When this insti-
tuition is ready for use the health de-
partment will be much better prepar-
ed to safeguard the health of the com.
mnnity from the spread of contagious
diseases Of every kind than it is at
present and it will cost the city a
great deal less to care for any cases
that it may be forced to look after.

The matter of keeping the walks
clear Of snow came up in the council
at the last meeting and the street com
missioners in all divisions of the city
were instructed to see to it that the
snow is removed from the walks in
the time required by law. Under this
order of the council citizens who re-
port walks that have been neglected in
their neighborhoods should be able to
get action immediately.

OF the preliminaries and the demand
for track elevation in Kenosha has been
put to the state railroad commission.
Assurances have been given by the
state commissioners to the mayor that
the Importance of quick action to the
city is understood by the state officials
and that the commission will act on
the elevation petition as soon as posi-
bic. There is nothing to do here now
but to have everything in readiness
for the hearing on the petition which
the commission will hold probably in
this city some time next month.
