CRAZY OVER DARNELL.
Owatonna Man Becomes Mentally Dis
turbed from Reading Darnell Case.

The Rev. James Morrison Darnell
has been credited with turning the
minds of several young women, but
from Owatonna, Mimi, comes story
of man who has gone insane on ac-
count of reading and talking about the
Darnell case.
"My God, save Darnell,' shouted
William Wentlund, truck gardener,
as he leaped to his feet during pray
er meeting last night in the Methodist
church at OWatonna, while listening to
a sermon by Rev. G. A. Jones.
Dashing down the aisle, he threw
himself at the feet of the minister and
repeated his entreaties. The church
was in an uproar. It was necessary for
six men to lend their. aid before the
man could be overcome and carried,
still struggling, from the church. He
was locked up in the county Jail there,
awaiting a sanity hearing tomorrow,
1t is believed his mind has become
unbalanced through reading and talk
ing about the Darnell case.
Darnell and Ruth Soper are now in
Owatonna and it is declared that they
have not made formal plans as to the
exact date IF their marriage. Darnell
is now claiming a common law marri-
age with the young woman who was
known as his wife during his stay in
Kenosha.

GET GREAT RECEPTION.
Mcintyre and Heath Play ''The Ham
Tree to Capacity House Tuesday.

Jimmy Mcintyre and his life long
partner, Tommy Heath, were given a
great welcome by Kenosha people on
Tuesday night when they brought
'|The Ham Tree" to the opera house.
A capacity house greeted the two come
dians and their splendid company. 1t
was a great show from every stand
point but to Kenosha people the pleas
ure of the evening came in seeing the
former Kenosha comedian. Mcintyre
and Heath kept the crowd applauding
all the time they were on the stage and
Kenosha people now appreciate why
the Georgia Minstrels' and "The
Ham Tree" have broken the records of
so many of the large theatres. The
company supporting the old time stars
was particularly competent one and
the dancing of the chorus was the best
ever seen on Kenosha stage. Sharing
the honors with the stars of the even
ing were Winnie Crisp and Jack Crisp,
a pair of wonderful dancers. Their
contribution to the program was es-
pecially pleasing.

SCAR BRINGS FREEDOM.
Negro Gets Away When He Proves He
is Not Wanted for Murder.

George McMoran, negro forty
years of age and claiming to be from
Chicago, had an uneasy half hour at
the police Office this morning. Nc
Moran had been picked up by Police
Officer Breidt last night and when he
was brought before I the chief this
morning it vas found that his descrip-
ton tailed with the description of a
man wanted in Chicago on a charge of
shooting a police officer. McMoran
began to think hard and finally he
said: Did that fellow in Chicago have
a scar on MS neck?'' The officials ad-
mitted that there was no such dis
tinguishing mark and McMoran
threw wide his shirt and displayed a
scar which would mark him under
any circumstances. The chief once
ordered his discharge and he IS Civ
en- an hour to get beyond the limits
of the city. The negro was charged
with being intoxicated and he was
willing to accept ninety days as a pen
atty. Chief O'Hare decided that the
city did not care to pay the board of
the man for even ten days.

Cheer up: All is not lost. l..
don't have to pay any of your this
until the first of next March unlestndi
city council insists on it. These to :
legislature in session at Madisd you
morning passed an emergency i rpon
extending the time for the cob,
OF state taxes and this includes,
state taxes and income taxes until'y,
first day of March. The bill was pas
ed under suspension of the rules i
both houses of the legislature and be,
fore noon it was sent to the governor
for his signature. 1t was declared that
| the bill would become a law by the
end of the Cay as the governor indi-
Gated his intention of signing it. I'M
der the provisions of the bill power is
gwen to all common councils In the
state to extend the time for tax pay
ments, but it must be done by two
thirds vote of the members of the
council.
In Kenosha there was an immediate
lull In the payment of taxes when it
became known that the state had given
power for the extension of the time
for paying taxes. The matter was to
| have been taken up by the Kenosha
council at meeting to be held on next
Monday evening and members of the
council had given assurance that the
city would Faircith collection of the
I'D per ce'ss lsaipe.tf at that time.
i However, until the state legislature
acted this morning The council would
have had no right to advance pay
ments of income taxes or state taxes.
Under the new law there will have to
be readjustment of the dates for the
city treasurer to settle with the county
treasurer and pay the state taxes, but
these dates win be advanced in keeping
with the provisions of the new law.
The law as passed is an FFemereeney
measure and relates only to the pres
ent year anu it will not necessarily be
followed in other years. A strong
showing of conditions in the state had
been made to the members of the leg
islature and they felt that the adj
vancement of the time would be a great
accommodation to large number of
people.
In Kenosha with only three more
days for the collection of taxes as pro-
vided by the state law more than
$35O,000 remained uncollected Many
people had held back with the hope
that the council would in some way adj
vance the date for payments.
Conrad Shearer chairman of the
finance committee of the city council
was highly pleased when told of the
action of the state Legislature. eve
should have taken the matter up re-
CARELESS of the action Of the legisla-
ture," said Mr.. Shearer, Gas we felt
that people : Kenosha should be allow
ed all the time possible to Lay their
taxes, but With this new law action by
the council is made very easy. I feel
certain that the city council of Kemp
sha will act under the law and extend
the time for tax payments to the first
OF March at the meeting ON Monday

CHARTER MEMBERS PRESENT
More Than Hundred and Fifty Danes
Attend Banquet and Toast DANA and
Her Founders informal Dance Fol
lows Season of Toasting.

twenty-five years ago on Tuesday
seventeen of the well known Danish
residents of Kenosha met at a hall
over a Main street store and organi-
lied the Kenosha Danish Society. Tues
day night more than a hundred and
fifty of the members and their wivas
gathered at Dania Hall on Elizabeth
street to celebrate the quarter cen
tury of the organization of the well
known society. It was a great night
for the Danish people of the city and
many OF the most prominent Kenosh-
ans who were born in Denmark had
part in the pleasures of the evening. In
honor of the event the hall was beauti-
fully decorated. Everywhere the Dam
ish and American flags were in pro-
fusion and the long tables were
charmingly dressed with plants and
ferns.
A ten-course dinner-just such din
ner as the old Danish mcthers can
cook-was served at eight clock and
after dinner was over two hours later
Martin Anderson was introduced as
Toast Master for the evening. Among
the speakers were Thomas Hansen, Pc
ter johnson, Peter Turk olsen, Christ
Peterson, and representing the women
was DR.. Helen Harbert. The speakers
paid ributes to the pioneers among the
Danish people of the city who had been
in charge of the organization OF DANA
and paid tribute to the work that has
been done by the organization in relief
of the members during the twenty five
years.
When the Danish Society was organ
lied in January of 1890 it had but
seventeen members. Nels Buctrup,
now deceased, was the moving spirit in
the foundation of the organization. At
that time there was only small num-
Der of Danish people in Kenosha, but
the Danish Society included all of the
better known of the number. OF the sew
enteen charter members but seven sur
vive. Thomas Hansen, Chris Petersen,
Thomas Olsen, Peter Turkelsen, Fred
Smith and John Cimmerm n represent
ed the Charter members at the ban
quet on Tuesday evening. At the pres
ent time the society has a member
ship of more than 1876.
After the toasts were over the hall
was cleared ant with the removal of
the tables an informal dance was in
augurated. Early this morning the
dance was still going on. Members of
the organization declare that the
TWenty-ffth Anniversary celebration
was the NEST notable event in the his
tory of tfDania.

waukee to Succeed Commissioner.

Railroad Commissioner David Har-
low, who has had charge of the big
work of elevation of the North Nv estern
tracks in Kenosha, will be off the COM

was announced in Madison this morn
ing that during the day Governor
Philip would send to the senate the
name of Walter Alexander of Milwau-
kee, as his appointee as a member of
the state commission to succeed Com
missioner Harlow The announcement
came as a SURPRISE to many Kenosha
people, who have taken an active inter
est in the commission on account of
the elevation of the Kenosha tracks
Harlow has had nearly entire charge
OF the preparation of the order for the
Kenosha elevation. He has presided at
all of the hearings on the proposed
work and has made many personal in
vestigations of conditions in Kenosha.
On a recent visit to Kenosha Mr.. Har-
low declared that he was hopeful that
the order for elevation in Kenosha
would be issued before the first of
February, the end of his term. Many
people had expected the re-appointment
of Mr.. Harlow on the part of the gov
ernor as they were known to be close
personal and political friends Walter
Alexander, who has been named as his
successor, is an entirely practical man.
He has been employed in the shops of
the st. Paul railway in Milwaukee for
some time. He has not been active in
political wOrl.

ESTABLISH NEW QUARANTINE.
Farmers Fear Quarantine as Result of
Foot End Mouth Disease.

Farmers in Kenosha county were
scared today. Yesterday the United
States government. agents put a new
quarantine on the Union Stock Yards
in Chicago on account of foot and
mouth disease and the local men ex-
pect that the quarantine will be ex-
tended to all counties in the Chicago
district 1t was only a few days ago
that the embargo on Kenosha cattle
was lifted and the farmers now find
themselves without market. Many
cars of stock are ready for shipment
from various points in this county, but
all of them will be held pending the
outcome of the Chicago quarantine.
Not single case of foot and mouth
disease has developed in this county
and for this reason it is thought posi-
bic that Kenosha county will escape the
rather vigorous quarantine measure
taken by the government.

STATE COMMISSION REPORTS
Recommends License Fees and Fines
from Speeders be Used to Repair
Roads-Would Give Towns More
Freedom in Construction.

Members Of the Kenosha county
board took a real interest today in the
recommendations of the Wisconsin
state highway commission which were
filed with the governor on Monday and
copies of which have been received in
Kenosha today. While the members
of the Kenosha county board do not
concur in all the suggestions made by
the state board they seem to believe
that the changes in the law as suggest
ed are changes in the right direction
and that the enactment of them into
law will go long way toward remov-
ing a lot of the objections to the pres
ent system. The suggestions are along
the line of suggestions that have been
made in resolutions sent from this and
other counties to the legislature.
The commission recommends the
state highway aid law be amended to
provide:
That state aid funds be apportioned
among counties in proportion to their
valuation, without respect to the
amount to be expended in the county,
with the provision that unless certain
sums be appropriated for road work in
the counties, state aid would be re-
linquished in proportion to the defcien-
cy between the county's appropriation
and the amount called for by the full
state aid, such reverted amounts to re-
main in the state highway fund until
the succeeding year.
That state and county aid for i'm
provement of streets of cities be re-
scinded.
That automobile license fees collect
ed by the state shall be, returned to
the county in which they are paid, with
the cost of collection and plates de-
Quoted, to be turned into the county 8
highway fund and be accounted for by
the county highway commissioner to
the state commission.
That system of county police be
established to regulate automobile traf-
fic, with authority to arrest, and that
fines collected for violations of such
regulations be applied to the costs of
maintaining such police and court ex-
penses and the remainder be used for
highway repairs.
That stringent regulations for width
of tires be adopted by each county,
and enforced by the highway commits
sioner or county police.
The commission makes no recommen-
dations for money to be appropriated
as state highway aid in 1916 or 1917.
The commission in its report says:
There is no reasonable doubt that
the extremely rapid increase in high
way appropriations has been one factor
and rather large factor, il the rapid
increase in taxation in all units of gov
eminent. The commission is satisfied
that the growth up to the present time
has been too rapid, and has for the
last two years made every effort to dis
courage further increase. The organi-
zation of the commission and of the
counties, however, has now been
brought up to such a high state of eff
ficiency that the expenditures contemp-
lated for 1915 can now be handled
without difficulty, and equal amounts
or slightly larger amounts could be
handled in future years. The commits
sion believes the rate at which con
struction should proceed is absolutely
| legislative function

SHOW EXPENDITURE OF FUND
Nearly Entire Amount Raised for Ke-
nosha Community Tree was Expend-
ed in MISUNDERSTANDING to the
Associated Charities.

The Associated Charities has re-
ceived donation of $31513 from the
committee which was in charge of the
Community Christmas tree set up on
Market Square during the recent holt
day season. This large sum represent
ed the mexpended balance of monies
collected from the people of the city
to make the community tree q sue
cess and it was unanimously voted by
the members of the committee that it
should 90 to the "Charities" to aid
the work being done by this organiza
ton in Kenosha. In connection with
the sending of the check Mrs. Beatrice
Ives Welles has submitted report of
the work of the committee. 1t follows:
The Citizens Community Christmas
Tree Committee held its final meeting
at the Ellcs' Club room Jan. 25th and
reports were submitted and accepted
giving the history of Kenosha s first
Community Christmas.
So much publicity has been given
this movement that those who have
followed the story know how the plan
grew out of the City Club from which
q committee was chosen to cooperate
with other organizations and work to
have a Christmas together in Ke-
nosha. AS Zona Gale says in her story,
{" A Great Tree, y "Not my little cele-
bration, and your little celebration, and
their little celebration, private, that
was costing each of us more than it
ought to-but one celebration, paying
attention to the message that Christ
paid attention to''
And so a Citizens Committee was
called together of fifty men and wom-
en- representing varied interests, and
enthusiasm spread like wild fret
AS there was no definite data to be
obtained as to the exact cost of such an
undertaking, the committee resolved to
raise fund that would meet all the
needs, and should Their be surplus, it
could be put to good use. Instead of
soliciting contributions and having it
under the auspices of charity, it was
decided to issue membership tickets,
no ticket to be sold for more than one
dollar, and create the spirit of belong
ing; of being Tangible part of this
get-together movement, throughout the
town.
The committee realized that this is
a year when work and money are
scarce, but were spurred on by this
very fact to bring into our midst an
element of gladness and joy to help
us face the impending trials with more
courage-for the spirit must be forti-
fed against that enemy, discourage
ment," if we would protect ourselves
against even worse calamities than
physical want. The fraternal and char
liable organizations are unanimous in
declaring there never was time when
everyone responded so generously to
the call for the needy, and they are
agreed that the Community Spirit en-
bodied in the Big Tree is largely re-
sponsible for it. The treasurer s report
lis as follows:
