The late John Bunny, the moving
picture favorite, used to tell story
about Jay Gould.
Gould had wonderful head for af.
fairs he used to begin. "A man once
said to him:
Jay, you ought to fire all your
conductors. They wear diamond rings
and studs. Well, train conductors can
only wear diamonds by robbing the
passengers
"That's true,' Gould answered
scratching his cheek under his black
beard. But you see, these fellows
have got EN-. The new chaps would
have to get EN-"

ABOUT s'UNDER COVER COMING
HERE NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT.

The United States Secret Service is
the latest theme for play and Roi
Cooper Negrue has taken the opera
lions of the detective bureau as the
basis for Under Cover,' the drama
tic sensation of the year in New York
and Chicago. "Under Covert deals
with the smuggling of a 100000 pearl
necklace and the effort of the secret
service to trace the smugglers. Gun
der Cover" is a play of thrills.
primarily, it is melodrama, and vet it
does not over-emphasize some phases of
the secret service work. So emphatic
has been the success of the play that it
has already passed its 2O0th perform
ance in New York and Chicago.
Selwyn & Co., who gave Within the
Law" to the stage, will present their
latest success, FUnder Cover at the
Rhode on next Friday night and they
have taken particular care in the selec-
tion of the cast for the performance in
this city. Each player has been select
ed with particular regard for the role
to be played and in this case it is the
ensemble playing rather than individ-
ual work which counts, for the story
itself is the entertaining feature of. the
extraction. Call up IS about seats. adv

LAST REPORT FOR YEAR.
November and December Proved to be
Quiet Months in Municipal Court.

November and December proved to
be decidedly quiet months in the MUM
cipal court for Kenosha county and
this fact is reflected in the report for
the two months filed with the city and
county treasurers by Clerk John i.
Wattles. The total paid over to the
county treasurer as fees collected in
the two months is $996.86. This is
pretty close to a normal return, but
there is a big falling off in the amount
received by the city, it totaling but
$5l8.80. The two months found many
people in Kenosha short of money, the
Christmas season was included in the
period and more than that there was
intense cold weather. Many people
may not know that when intense cold
weather comes the business of the
municipal court is reduced to the
minimum.

Village Has But One Quar-
antine for Smallpox After
the General Fumigation.
SCHOOLS TO REOPEN MONDAY

Bristol, the Kenosha county village,
has given all other villages of the state
a lesson in how to dispose of smallpox
epidemic and Monday evening after
DIR. F. E. Stevens and his assistants at
the village had completed the work of
fumigating just one quarantine for
smallpox remained in the village and
there are but two guarantees in the
outlying districts about Bristol.
Twenty cases of smallpox had been
quarantined in the village since the
disease made it's appearance early in
December of last year but the people
hurried to get vaccinated and under
the direction of DR.. Stevens the quar-
antines were maintained at all times
and the disease was under control in
short order. Many of the cases at
Bristol had appeared among the child
rem of the schools and when the school
board met on Monday afternoon it went
over to the school building and pro-
ceeded to burn up all the school books
which had been used before the cpl
demic was discovered. The schools of
the village will be re-opened on next
Monday morning and both the local
and state health officials believe that
all danger of infection will have dis
appeared by that time. After the re-
opening of the schools public gather
ings in the town will be resumed and
Bristol will have a lot of delayed
Christmas entertainments and holiday
events. Not one of the patients i'll
with the disease has been seriously
sick and many people believe that the
visitation of smallpox has been in the
way of a blessing and practically all of
the people in the village and the sur
rounding territory have been vaecinat-
ed and thus safe guarded against the
coming of the disease in other years.
People of the village give great Gre
dit to DR.. F. E. Stevens for the manner
in which the epidemic has been hand
led. DR.. Stevens has given practically
all of his time to the smallpox cases
since the disease was discovered and it
was largely through his efforts that the
disease was stamped out In so short
time.

State Income Tax Blanks
Will Be in the Hands of
Income Farmers Soon.
NO CHANGE IN COLLIE CITING TAX

Assessor Of Incomes Joseph E. Dali
ton has received from the state tax
commission the annual blanks for the
collection of the income tax for 1915
and within the next few days these
blanks will be mailed to every man
and woman in Kenosha county who is
suspected of having made money
enough in 1914 to warrant him paying
an income tax under the state law. At
the same time the blanks for the re-
ports of incomes Of corporations will
be sent out from Madison.
The blanks for individuals must be
returned to Assessor Dalton not later
than the first day of March. But the
assessment of the income tax will not
be made until some time next summer.
There is little change in the form of
the blanks this year, more than the
fact that there is prominently printed
on the face of the blanks for individ-
uals the fact that any individual MAX
ing false report of his income is liza
able to a fine of $500 or a jail sentence
or both. This may have the effect of
getting out some incomes which have
not been taxed in the past years.
There is new blank this year designed
especially for the use of farmers and
dairy men and it is thought that with
this blank the assessor will be able to
get lot of big incomes of farmers on
the tax roll which have been conspicu-
Gus for their absence in the former two
years in which the tax has been col
lected in Wisconsin. No change has
been made in the exemptions allowed
to the earners of the incomes, but it is
possible that some change may be made
by the present session of the legisla-
ture. 1t is expected that movements
for the amendment of the income fax
law or its repeal will be started on the
very. first day of the session of the
legislature and it is possible that some
Of the proposed new laws relating to
the income tax will have received the
signature of the governor before the
day set for the return of the blanks.
1t is not expected, however, that
there will be any change which will
become effective before the collection
of the tax in 1917.

JAMES JEPsoN INJURED.
Hotel Keeper at Salem Falls on Icy
Walk and Fractures His Hip.

James Jepson, hotel keeper at Salem,
and one of the best known residents Of
the western part of the county, will be
confined to his bed for the remainder of
the winter as result of an accident on
Monday morning. Mr.. Jepson had
been called from the hotel and as he
stepped from the door he slipped and
fell on an ice step. His left leg was
caught under his body and he fell so
heavily that the leg was broken in the
hip. Physicians reduced the fracture
on Monday afternoon, but it was stat
ed that Mr.. Jepson was suffering great
pain today as a result of the injury.
Mr.. Jepson is no longer young man
and it is feared that he may be per-
manently crippled as a result of the
serious accident.

COURT ROOM CHANGED.
improvements to be Completed Before
Opening of New Term Next Week.

County Agent Jones is giving the
court room of the circuit court a re-
novation and in connection with the
work of cleaning he is making some
changes in the location of the desks.
The desk of Judge Belden has been
moved to the south so that the Judge
will be little nearer the jurors and
the witnesses and at the same time the
change will give more room for the
desk Of the clerk of the court. The
county agent has been urged by the
county officials to make provisions for
the re-decoration of the interior of the
county building and this matter will be
brought before the county board at the
January session next week. 1t has been
decade since the interior of the
building saw a paint brush and the
walls are in decidedly dingy and
dirty condition.
