Water Commissioners De-
clare That the New Plant
Will Be Ready for Serv-
ice the First of April.
ALL PORTIONS UNDER COVER

The new water plant is going to be
ready for the water to be turned on
April list. This is the announcement
of Superintendent B. c. Brennan, who
is now giving up much of his time to
experimenting the finishing touches
on the plant
81 think that we can give assurance
that the plant will be ready for opera
ton on the first of April said Mr..
Brennan. 1.-THE outside work is now
all completed, the filtration plant is so
we'll underway that it will certainly
be ready by the first of April if not
some time before and the water from
the new intake is now running right
up to the valve at the pumping station
and all that is necessary is to open the
valve and let it into the wells. Every
thing is under cover and there is moth
ing which is going to delay for
minute the setting up of the new ma
chinery. The machinery built in the
Allis- Chalmers shops in Milwaukee, is
now all on the ground and sufficient
force Of men are at work erecting the
pumps and other equipment. These
should all be ready within the next
thirty days. We have one of the big
mains extended under the Kenosha har.
Dor and this will give us the chance ia
connect with the new plant to get the
water into the regular city mains Just
as soon as the power is turned on for
the pumps. The extensions of mains
which has been planned and the lay
ing of some of the new mains to the
plant viii not be attempted until after
the summer weather comes, but the
fact that these mains are not ready
will not in any way prevent the sue
cessful operation of the pumping
plant. Just as soon as the plant is
completed we will abandon the old
plant at the foot Of Market street.
The filtered water will be used entire
ly for the city after that time. 1t is
thought probable that tests Of the
water when filtered will show that it
will not be necessary to chlorinate the
water from the new plant. Many peo-
pie have objected to the doctored"
water and if possible the chlorine will
be eliminated in the future"
By the time the new plant is ready
for opening, the water commission will
have expended more than three humid
red thousands dollars for the plant and
the connections under the barbor and
some fifty thousand dollars of the fund
set aside for the completion of the
new plant, will be used in putting
in new mains and laying larger
mains in place of some of the mains
now in the streets.
1t is probable that the city will be
forced to employ larger staff of work
men to take charge of the new plant
but the present competent staff is ex-
pected to remain in the employ of the
commission.

SICK HUSBANDS LUCRATIVE.
Addition of From Four to Six Children
Is Worth Extra Money, Fake
Finds to Her Advantage.

A mysterious woman, dark Of COM
plexion and of age nearing thirty,
whose home is sometimes at 1876 Mid
die street, sometimes at number on
Lyman avenue which comes just as far
from existing as does the nonresident
"1136 Middle, - has been making a
snug little fortune out of sympathetic
Kenosha women in the past few weeks
She is an artist in her line and has
worked the town carefully and we'll and
is still at it. She has managed so far
10 elude the efforts of the Associated
Charities to find her. Sometimes when
she is reported by kindhearted sympa-
thizer who has handed out money to
her, her name is "Sorensen - Some
times it is Goodman and she has
one or two other pseudonyms by which
she goes. Sometimes she has a hus-
band who is paralytic, and six hun
gering children; on other occasions her
husband is a tubercular and she has any
wher from four to seven children.
Occasionally she approaches a woman
on the street who looks kindly and as
if she carried a we'll padded pocketbook.
One such individual who reported the
case to the Associated Charities today
told the woman she would go into a
store with her and order and have sent
to her address groceries and some under
wear. The woman backed water imme-
diately. She did not care to have that
done-she could do her own shopping
and didn It the kind lady trust her? If
that was the way she felt about it she
didn t care to accept the charity, etc

This fake is usually well dressed in
plain Clothes chosen with some degree
of taste, and although not expensive,
good looking.
The Associated Charities wishes to
warn the good people of Kenosha
against any applicant for aid-especi-
ally an applicant who will accept moth
ing but money-who will not give
an address or who is not willing to take
the person to whom they apply for char
ity to their home, probably has a good
reason for not doing So and in all prob
ability that reason will be an equally
good one for deferring to give aims until
an investigation has been made.

PREsERvATIvE rs GOOD"
Judge Randall Disposes of Political
Argument in Decision Handed
Down Today.

Judge G. E. Randall disposed of the
political argument as to whether or
not "Mrs. Price s Canning Compound"
was "food" or not. The Judge de-
clared that after reading the statute
of the state and the opinions of other
courts on the matter, that he would be
forced to eide with the bunch holding
that this compound, boric acid and all,
was food product and that the sale
of it in Wisconsin stores was contrary
to the pure food laws of the state. He
held that he failed to see the differ
ence whether the b0ric acid was in
closed in food product ready for con-
sumption or sold to be placed In one
that the company manufacturing the
canning compound will appeal to the
Supreme Court of the state and it has
been intimated that the case from the
Municipal Court here win be carried
all the way to the Supreme Court of
the United States
A. E. Ole, the Kenosna druggist, was
not nearly so interested in the political
phase of the case as he was in the fact
that the court held that he must for
felt $25 and the costs of the action for
selling bottle of the compound.
Judge Randall was unable to be in
court this morning, but his clerk, John
Wattles, handed down the decision
with due judicial dignity and collected
the fine.

MARQUETTE OFF THE RUN.
Hill Company, Forced to Withdraw
Boat From Milwaukee Run ON Ac-
count of Lack of Insurance.

COUNT OF Lack OF insurance.
The Hill Steamboat Company has no.
titled the. Kenosha Retailers Associa-
ton that it has been found necessary
to withdraw the "City Of Marquette /"
from the run between Kenosha and
Milwaukee on account of the attitude
of the marine insurance agencies which
have refused to give cargo insurance
on account of ice conditions on the
lake. The company is planning to re-
store the service just as. soon as the
insurance companies will make the SER
vice safe. The new rule is applied to
all wood boats on the lake and it does
not in any way affect the steel steamer
operated by the Hill company which
as in past years viii be kept in con-
tinuous operation during the entire
winter. 1t is certain that the omar
quette'' will be the first boat back on
the lake when the ice disappears to
make navigation safe.

Boy Thought Dead
Kenosha Horse Thief
Been Mourned by Relatives in
Racine for Two Years.

The supposed to be dead came to life
in the Municipal Court at Kenosha on
Monday afternoon when Paul Beistline
of Racine was arraigned on charges of
larceny and sentenced to spend the
next two years of his young life at the
state school for boys at Waukesha.
Paul is fifteen years of age and for
two years his mother and father up in
Racine have been sorrowing for him
and keeping in their memory little
tokens which he left behind when he
disappeared from the old home on Villa
street there two years ago.
The boy was of rowing nature and
when he left home search was made
for him. Police officers in many cities
sought to find the boy and after the
months the father and mother gave
him up for dead. The ache in the heart
had all but healed on Monday when
notice was taken to them that the boy
was in Jail at Kenosha charged with
stealing a horse and wagon from the
McKeon farm in the town of Pleasant
Prairie.
Beistline is old for his years and he
told the men up at the Jail that he
would just as leave have his "folkS >
go on believing that he was dead. He
had little excuse for his action when
he was arraigned before Judge Ran
dali on Monday afternoon. 1t was the
old call to the road which caused him
to take the horse and wagon from the
McKeon farm. He had nothing 70 say
as to why he had run away from home
but admitted that the fact that he had
worked under assumed names made it
possible for him to keep the fact that
he was still alive from his parents.
1t is expected that the parents will
come to Kenosha and spend an hour
with the boy before he is taken to she
Waukesha school. It is expected that
he will remain the ward of Superin-
tendent Hutton until he attains his
eighteenth birthday. Young Beistline
is a rather interesting little prisoner
and in his two years of wandering he
has seen a lot of the world. Farmers
for whom he worked declared that he
was the chest boy they ever had"

organization of the employees of the
big bed making plant on Monday night
when great meeting was held at Ger

Real War Supplies.

A great deal depends on definitions.
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld does
not classify nails and horseshoes as war
supplies He forgets the story he
learned in his youth, which ended by
informing us that for the want of a
nail the shoe was lost, for the want of
shoe the horse was lost, for the want
of horse the rider was lost, and for
the want of rider the battle was
lost. /" Mr.. Redfeld would minimize
the effect of war orders upon our pres
emit industrial activity by excluding
such things as nails, horseshoes and a
lot Of similar commodities from the list
of things for which the war has Great
ed an abnormal demand But he can
not change the records of his own de-
partment which show that in nine.
months period before the war we ex.
ported only $168,00O worth of horse
shoes and $1,573,000 worth of nails
spikes, etc., while during the first nine
months of the year 1916 we exported
these commodities to the extent of
$925,000 and $10,274,o00. respectively

SECOND CROP OF ICE.


1t was degrees below zero
in Kenosha this morning, but
: the towns QUE in the western
part of the county had it all
over Kenosha as at Salem, Ire
vor, Camp Lake and Silver
Lake temperatures of Is de-
grees below were reported at Z
O'Clock and at Salem it is said
to have dropped to 20 below at
5 clock this morning. This is
the coolest weather registered
this year in Kenosha county.
The extreme cold has brought
new crop of ice of wondrous
quality on the lake of the coun-
ty and many of the companies
are startipg the second cutting
of the lakes. "We may get as
many crops as farmer gets off
an alfalfa field, said one of the
big ice men in Kenosha this
= morning. Frozen noses and ears
were common among ice men.
