DECIDE TO REPAIR.
County Board Will Spend Seven Thou
sand Dollars in improving the
Court House.
APPROPRIATION MADE TO-DAY.
the Whole Lower Part of the Court House
will be Rebuilt and Fitted Into
Offices for Coun'y =ficials.

henosha county will not have a new
court house, but on the other hand, the
present court house will be repaired IN
such manner that it will be one of the
most modern court houses in Southern
Wisconsin. This was the decision of
the County Board at the closing ses-
slams of. the board. While many
people in the city would have preferred
TO have had a new house built the plan
of the board will meet with general
commentator. The plans for the
work have been partially made and the
board today appropriated seven thou
sand dollars of the funds of the county
to carry on the work.
The plans were drawn some time ago
by Architect Dickhaut and generous
notice of them was given at that time,
but before the work is commenced the
plans will be changed in many partlcu-
lars. The College of Commerce will
be thrown out of a home, as it is the
purpose of the board to turn the entire
lower floor of the court house into
office rooms to be used by the different
officials of the county. There will be
a court room for the County Judge on
the lower floor of the building and
about it will be clustered the other
offices. 1t is probable that an effort
will be made to find room in the build
ing for the location of the offices for
the county surveyor and the county
treasurer.
The upper story of the building will
be changed but little. The court room
is highly satisfactory to the Judge and
all connected with the Circuit court,
but some changes may be made in the
Jury rooms and in thesprivate room for
the Judge.
The greatest expense from the re-
pairing of the building will be the con-
structing of vaults for use by the diff
ferent county officers, and for the safe
keeping of the records of the county.
There will be four sets OF vaults con-
structed in the different parts of the
newly repaired building, and with
these additions ample provision will
have been made to care for the wants
of the county for many years.
No work will be started on the pro-
posed repairs until after the January
meeting of the Board, and in the
meantime the committee appointed to
have charge of the repairs will meet
with the architect and assist in the re-
visa1 of the plans. The revised plans
will include the placing'of city heat in
the building, which will be great i'm
provement over the present system.
If the plans are ready at the time
the Board convenes for the January
session, it is probable that the build-
ing will be ready for occupancy by the
latter part of the summer.

COOKS SALOON CLOSED.
Main Street Saloon closed to Secure the
Payment of Chattel Mortgage.

There is one less saloon on Main
street, as this NOR ming Chief of Police
O'Hare took charge of the saloon for
merly operated by c. A. Cook and
closed the doors. There is little prob
ability that the place will be opened
again. The action was taken on &C
count of the foreclosure of chatte1
mortgage amounting to $500, which
was held by the Schlitz Brewing Com
pany of Milwaukee.
Cook has been in business at the Ell
Moro for some six months and TIE
business had been pushed in an elabo-
! rate manner. The furnishings in the
saloon are among the finest in the
city, but it is claimed that the place
has never been a paying proposition.
It is not known what will be done
with the property.

D dication ely H. C. A. to be Held sun
day, Dec. Second.

day. Dec. Second.
The dedicati N services of the Y. M.
c. A. building, instead of taking place
this week will be held one week later,
beginning Sunday, Dec. End. The
entire program, as previously an
nounced, will be carried out during the
entire week from December End to De
cember 9th, but it is the expectation Of
the Committee to secure several strong
speakers who could not be here this
coming week on account of the State
Y. M. c. A. convention.
The reason for the postponemeut is
that three of the contractors cannot
possibly finish the work in time for
the opening Sunday, and also that the
paint will not be dry enough to allow
the presence of the large crowds that
will be present at the opening services.
The Board of Directors are more anx-
ious to have the building in perfect
running order with every detail COM
p1eted and the building standing as it
will be for years to come, rather than
to open an unfinished building on the
time scheduled.
The entire three upper floors are now
finished with the exception of the
cleaning work and the putting in of
the furniture, which is already in the
building. The bath rooms and locker
rooms, however, and some of the mar
bic work could not possibly be finished
in time for the opening.
The additional weeks time will give
the Committees opportunity to furnish
even more attractive program than
that which had been planned. An eff
fort will be made to secure some of the
strongest speakers and the best at
fractions that can be obtained.

FINISHING TOUCHES.
Graceful Accessories Add a Charm to
the Fashionable Toilet.

the Fashionable Toilet.
Truly, detail" is the latest word in
the realm Of dress today. The wise girl
knows that to put on her clothes well
and to round off her toilet schemes
with dainty conceits in the way of
waist belts, throatlets and items of
jewelry is to do herself the justice
fashion demands. A well worn cos
tune, nicely cared for and immacu-
lately neat, even though it should be
six months old quite an advanced age
for a toilet noWadayS), can be brought
up to date and made to pass muster if
all the little things that go with it are
of the very smartest description.
First of all, as to neckWear, though
lace transparencies will continue to be
seen on pretty threats through the win
ter they are such old friends that they
need not occupy any more than pass
ing mention. The latest are touched
with gold OF silver and tiny gems, such
as the topaz and turquoise, as well as
jet and crystal. Panne is to be the tri-
umphant material in the carrying out
Of tall stock collars. Many are being
made with inlets of some fabric Of
different color, and Persian patterns
are cleverly introduced with just a
soupcon of gold or gun metal braiding
to finish them.
Folded satin antique brought smart

The four-in-hand model is also being
exploited with big pearl or coral pin
to center it, but the great point about
the tall pieces of neckwear that are be-
ing introduced for autumn wear is that
they interfere not in the smallest de-
gree with the symmetry Of the throat,
which has to try to look as tall and
slender and withal as round as it pos
sibly can.

AT A BANQUET.
Racine and Kenosha County supervisors
Met around the Festa1 Board.

The last days of the meeting of the
County Board will go down into his
tory as the best, and Friday night the
mem bers of the Kenosha County Board
entertained the members of the Racine
Board in a way that will make the
meeting long remembered by members
of both Boards.
The Racine Board came to this city
after the work of the dayawas over,
and were met at the station and shown
all the points Of interest. Afterwatd
they were taken to the Hotel Grant,
where a banquet was served in their
honor by the KenOsha men. At g
O'Clock the members of the Boards and
their friends sat around the tables at
the hotel and partook of a dinner
which had been specially prepared for
them by mine host Graves. There
were covers for fifty and over and the
meal was jolly one.
After dinner the guests retired to the
par1ors of the hotel and cigars were
lighted and for three hours the super
visors spent the time In discussing
problems of interest to the two coun-
ties. The Chairman of the Racine
Board made short talk thanking the
Kenosha men for the hospitality which
had been so generously extended, and
In reply District Attorney Buckmaster
made a few remarks, telling of the
warm feelings existing between the
two Boards. It is probable that the
banquet will be made an annual affair
and it will always be looked forward
to with a great deal of interest.

WANT A WOMAN INSPECTOR
Racine Woman's Club Starts Move in
the Right Direction.

The Woman's Club, of Racine, has
started movement to have the state
officials appoint a woman factory in
spector from Wisconsin. Such a move
ment will receive hearty support from
Kenosha. In this city a large number
of young ladies are employed in the
different factories and it is only right
that some one of their own sex should
watch over the conditions under which
they are called to work.
The factory inspectors have always
paid particular attention to Kenosha
and few objections have. ever been
made to the factories in which young
ladies are employed. However, 1T is
probable that the eye of a woman
would see many little points whereby
the lot of the employees might be bet
tered and frightened without any
added expense to the employer. 1t is
estimated that fully one thousand
young ladies are employed in the diff
ferent factories in Kenosha and if this
of the state there should certainly be
some representation for the fair sex on
the board of factory inspectors.

HALIFAX NAN
UNDER ARREST
Was Taken Up in Baltimore on Charge
of Having Stolen United
States Postal Stamps.

The citizens of Halifax county, and Of
Houston In particular, are very much
worked up over the arrest in Baltimore
of c. r. French, of Houston. He had
in his possession when arrested 5000 worth
of postage stamps. which he was attempt-
ing to dispose of.
The broker. with whom he wished to
negotiate, said he could not purchase the
stamps himself, but he knew man who
would, and he sent for detective. who
carried young French to headquarters.
French said he got the stamps from a
man on the road. He was given pre-
lininary examination before the United
State Commissioner yesterday, and the
case was sent on.
The arrest follows closely on the fire at
Houston, that burned the postoffice
French's sister-in-law IS the postmaster
at Houston, and she lived in the same
house with French and his family.
The arrest of French was a surprise,
and startling revelation to the people
of Houston. who always held him in the
highest esteem. He was assistant county
surveyor, and belonged to one of the best
families of that section Of the State.
A number of witnesses have been SUM
fnoned from Halifax to Baltimore to $tes-

He was registered in Baltimore at the
