FRANCHISE GRANTED.
North Western Railway Co. Are Given she
Right to Build Spur to Allen Tannery.

NORTHWESTERN Railway Co. Are Given the
Right to Build Spur to Allen Tannery.
The Northwestern Railway COM
pany will build spur track to the
Allen tannery, for at the meeting of
the Common Council Monday evening
by vote of Is to the Council decided
to pass an ordinance granting the
company perpetual right to the use
of the streets necessary for the COM
pletion of the spur track.
Before the ordinanc was passed an
amendment was added granting the
right to use the switch to all patrons
of the road without any additional
switching charges. After this amend
ment had been tackled on to the ordi-
nance there was little opposition to its
passage. Aid. Sch1enker objected TO
the granting of a perpetual right to
use the streets of the city, but this OBJ
lection was largely overcome by the
statement that the track would be con-
structed almost entirely on private
grounds and that on this account it
would be removed when it was no
longer needed by the Allen company.
Aid. SCh1enker voted for the ordi-
nance, but his colleague, Aid. Schend,
was registered on the negative side.
His lone position was explained on &C
count of the fact that he did not be-
lieve the streets of the city should be
given over to any steam railway.
Notwithstanding the petitions of
fered for the opening of West Main
street and Ashland avenue, the ordin-
ance was passed without any of these
riders being attached to it, and the
streets will probably still remain in
the possession of the railroad and
Allen companies. A further investi-
cation will be made of the petition
asking for the opening of Ashland
avenue, and it is possible that it will
be ordered opened some time in the
near future.
Work on the construction of the
spur will be started as soon as possible
as it is the purpose of the company to
have the track ready for use in about a
month. The track will be great ben.
eft to the Allen tannery and hence to
the city at large.

Violent Opposition to the Proposed
Change in the Route of the
Street Railway.
THE DOG IN THE MANGER TRICK
Claimed That the Petition for the Change
is for the interest of the Railway
and Shuts Out Through Line.

Violent opposition has been found to
the proposed scheme to change the
route of the street railway as offered in
a petition to the city council a short
time ago. It is claimed among the
railway men that the company was
largely responsible for the petition,
and that the sole purpose of the pro-
posed change is to make it impossible
for the M. r. & K. company to build a
through line into Kenosha. To the
initiated it will appear clear that the
fact that the local company holds a
portion of West Main street will be
sufficient to make it impossible for the
city to ever grant satisfactory fran
chise to any company planning a
through line.
No action has a yet been taken on
the petition and the committee to whom
the petion was referred asked that
further time be granted for the con-
sideration of the matter, and the petit
ton will probably be turned down at
the next meeting of the council.
Mr.. Arnold was present at the coun-
Gil meeting last night and gave notice
that he would make proposition to
the city at the next meeting asking
that some assistance be granted the
railway company in the construction
of the Main street bridge on the new
plans. This proposition is eagerly
awaited and trouble between the city
and the company is imminent. One
of the city officials seen last evening
stated that he would never agree to
assess the city for the purpose of build
ing a bridge for the use of the railway
company. He said that the city had
practically given Mr.. Arnold what he
had demanded, and that it was now
incumbent upon that gentleman to
carry out his part of the contract.
There is no doubt but that the rail-
way company has underestimate the
Gust Of the line and it is probable that
they would be glad to part company
with their franchise, but from the
way in which the aldermen have met
the proposed compromise on the bridge
it is evident that the company will be
compelled to carry out every article of
their contract to the letter.
It is stated that the company has
made elaborate preparations for the
building of their line between Wauke-
gan and Kenosha, but its completion
will undoubtedly be greatly delayed by
the troubles over the Main street
bridge. According to the first plans
of the company the bridge was to have
been built during the closed season,
but this part of the plan has evidently
been abandoned, and if the city is
asked to pay portion of the expense
it will probably be several closed sea-
sons before the bridge is built.

transacted by the auditing board.
This continual evasion of judgments
for a period of eighteen years prac-
tica11y crippled the real estate business
of the city. Owners of property could
not sell because of the fact that they
were not able to tell what tax was due
on it.
The end of the trouble came when
z. G. Simmons was elected mayor
in the early '8O's. He took the bull by
the horns and as the judgments were
almost out1awed he managed TO buy
them up at low rate and the debt OF
the city was reduced IN single year
from two million to two hundred thou
sand dollars. For this amount the city
issued bonds, and it is still paying for
the construction of the railroad. The
debt still unpaid amounts to a little
over $165, 900, and this is being paid OFT
SIS, 900 year.

Sewers His Connection With the North
Western Company and Goes to the
Simmons Mfg Company.
is TO BE TRAFFIC MANAGER.
Mr.. Truax Will Take the Place Made Va
cant by the Resignation of Percy
Ray-No New Agent Appointed.

Frank H. Truax, for several years
agent for the North Western railway
company in this city, severed his con-
nection with the company Saturday
evening, and this morning he accept
ed a new position as General Traffic
Manager of the Simmons Manufac-
turing company.
The announcement of the retirement
of Mr.. Truax from the work as agent
for the North Western, caused great
deal of surprise in the city, as no indi-
CT. tion Of his action had been given to
his friends. For several years Mr..
Truax has been in charge of the
North Western Office, and his work has
aided the company very much.
The retiring agent was very popular
with the manufacturers of the city,
and during his regime the company
has made many changes which were
advantageous to the people of the city.
AS a resident of Kenosha Mr.. Truax
took considerable interest in the trans
portation facilities offered by the COM
pany by which he was employed, and
road has been greatly increased.
Mr.. Truax goes to the Simmons
company in the position of a general
traffic manager and will have complete
control of the shipping interests of the
large factory. He will take the place
of Percy Ray, who resigned his posi-
ton Saturday evening to take similar
position with the Union Bed Company
of Chicago.
AS to the successor of Mr.. Truax at
the Northwestern station the railway
company has as yet made no announce
ment, but it is proba bic that one of the
agents of the company now stationed
in Milwaukee will come to Kenosha
temporarily.
The wide experience of Mr.. Truax
in, the railway business should make
him a valuable man in his new posi-
ton.

SIMEON KING DEAD.
Early Pioneer Settler of KenOsha
Expires Very Suddenly at the
Home of His Daughter.
FORMER ASSISTANT POSTMASTER
His Death Occurred on Saturday Morn
81; at the nome Of His Daughter
in Milwaukee.

Regret and sorrow was caused
among the old settlers of Kenosha
Monday evening when a message was
received in Kenosha stating that
Simeon King, one OF the early settlers
of Southport and former Postmaster
of Kenosha, had died very suddenly at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. George
V. Purdy, in Milwaukee last Saturday
morning.
Death came as a release from suffer
ing, but it came suddenly. Mr.. King
recently complained of stomach trouble
although he had not been confined to
his bed. Friday evening he retired as
early as was his custom and about four
o'clock in the morning he was heard
moving about in his room. When at
later hour Mrs. Purdy went to his
room to see why he had not come down
for breakfast she found him lying
PROSTATE on the bed. While he was
dressing himself for the day his spirit
had taken it's flight. Doctors were
called to attend him, but found that
he had been dead for some time and
that death had resulted from heart
disease.
The funeral was held on Monday
afternoon from the late residence of
the deceased and the remains laid to
rest in Forest Home Cemetery in Mil
waukee.
Simeon King was born is Westhamp-
ton, Mass, Oct. Sd, 1920. He was well
educated in the schools of his native
village and in 1912 he came West and
settled at Milwaukee. Here he learned
the business as a book seller. Two
years later he came to Southport and
opened the first book store in the
county. AT the same time he acted as
clerk in the post Office which was To-
Gated in his book store. He after
wards was appointed postmaster and
held the office for number Of years.
In 1861 he returned to Milwaukee
where he resided until 1872, being en-
ployed by the Nooman, McNab &
Neidecken company, two of the Oldest
paper houses in the city. Early IN the
seventies he again returned to Keno
sha and again entered the employ of
the government in the post Office. He
remained in this city until about a
year ago when he went to Milwaukee
to spend his declining days with his
daughter. For many years he was
connected. with the Masonic fraternity
being member of both the Kenosha
and Milwaukee lodges.
The deceased leaves four children
two sons and two daughters-three of
whom, Mrs. George Williams, Edwin
King and Mrs. G.. V. Purdy, reside in
Milwaukee. His son, Ernest King, is
member of the Eighth United States
cavalry, which is stationed at Puerto
Principe, Cuba. His wife died last
May.

z. G. SIMMONS MAKES AN OFFER
Will Help Literally in Payment OF Ex-
penses of the Unitarian Church.

The Unitarians of the city met IN
their remode1ed church building tor
the first time Sunday evening and sew
enty-eight of the members and friends
of the church were present to take part
in the general rejoicing over the re-
opening of the church. The ded1ca-
tory sermon was preached by Rev. Mr.

ness meeting was held, at which T. q.
Simmons submitted proposition to
the church members offering to pay
one-ha1f of the running expenses OF
the church if the remainder would be
raised among themselves. The offer

but these steps will be taken in the
near future. The members of the
church are among the best known peo-
pie in the city.

LAST OF HIS RACE.
Charles Daugherty. veteran of the Civil
var. Died Here Monday EveniIs

Il,
Chas. Daugherty, veteran of the
Civil War, and we'll known resident
of Kenosha, expired Monday evening
at his home on Rock street. He was
o. years of age and had spent his de-
Ginning years in Kenosha.
The deceased was the last surviving
member of one of the best known early
families of New York state. He had
been member of family of fighters,
more than one of which met death in
the civil war.
AS The last survivor of his family he
came.to Kenosha many years ago and
has since resided alone at his little
home on Rock street. He was one of
the most loyal members of the Grand
Army of the Republic, and although
his f4@ ne was bent by the ravages of
age and disease he always took part
in any gathering of the old boys in
blue.
AS soldier in the civil war he made
a splendid record. He served three
years, enlisting on Aug. %, 1861, as a
member of the Second New York Cav
airy. He was mustered out on Sept.
10, 1864. For many years he had been
sufferer from Bright's disease, which
caused his death.
The funeral will be held from ST.
James church on Thursday morning,
at 9 O'Clock, interment being at ST.
James Cemetery. The members of
Fred S. Lowell Post will have charge
of the funeral.
The deceased veteran leaves an es-
tate valued at about three thousand
dollars to be given to the St. James
church. AS the old veteran had no
relatives he had often expressed a
desire that the property he owned
should be given to the church, and
yesterday afternoon he made will
containing this disposition of his es-
tate, the exact value of which is not
known. The estate consists of house
on Rock street and quite little
money.

Wisconsin Telephone Company Plans
a Large Increase in the Central
Offices of the Company.
WILL MAKE MANY IMPROVEMENTS.
Lines Will Be Built in the Spring to Pleas
ant Prairie and Possibly to Bristol
Wires Not to Go Under Ground.

The Wisconsin Telephone Company
is making large additions to the equip
ment of their central office in Kenosha
and this morning it is announced that
the company has taken lease of the
entire east side of the second story of
the Benedict & Tarbe11 building and
will make many changes to improve
the service in Kenosha.
The first change to be made will be
the placing of new switch and cross
boards, the largest yet placed in any
city in southern Wisconsin. The new
boards will make ample accommodation
for any growth of the company in the
next few years and will greatly bene-
fit the service rendered.
Added to these improvements the
central office will be enlarged to permit
of the opening of commodious wait
ing room for the use of the patrons of
the office. The long distance service
will be improved by the addition of
another booth, making it possible for
at least two people to use the long dis
lance phones at the same time.
In the rear of the room the company
will hold a small portion in reserve to
be used at any time the company shall
put it's wires underground n Kenosha.
In this part will also be private Office
of Manager F. G. Mi11igan.
Added to the Improvements of the
Central office the company has in
structed the men to work on the Ke-
nosha lines to provide as near as pos
sib1e perfect service for the people of
the city. With the opening of the
spring the company will begin the
construction of lines to Pleasant
Prairie and if the people desire it it is
probable that line will be stretched
to Bristol Station. The head officials
of the Telephone company have been
advised of the situation in Kenosha
and it is evident that they are ready to
make every Improvement with the
possible exception of placing the wires
under ground. This point has been
considered by the company and while
they have made no answer to the de-
mands of the city it is probable that
the company will ask for more time in
which to make this arrangement.
The company will take charge of the
office rooms on March 1st and the i'm
provements planned will follow as soon
as possible after that date.

High Executive of the City Married 10
Miss Rosa M0eIIer in Milwaukee
at High Noon Tuesday.
WEDDING COMES AS A SURPRISE
The Mayor and His Bride Passed Through
Kenosba Today Enroute to omaha to
Spend a Short Honeymoon.

A stir was caused in all circles of the
city on Tuesday by the announce
ment of the marriage of Mayor James
E. German and Miss Rosa Moe1ler, q
we'll known young lady of this city,
which was celebrated at high noon at
the Holy Rosary Catholic Church at
Milwaukee.
The announcement of the wedding
came as a surprise to most Of the
friends of the contracting parties, al
though rumor of the approaching
nuptia1s was heard on the street Mon
day evening. Mayor German presided
at the meeting of the Common council
last evening and stated to some of the
aldermen that he would leave Tuesday
morning for a business trip to Omaha.
Early in the morning the Mayor, IN
company with his bride, went
to Milwaukee and they were
driven at once to the church, where
the ceremony which made them one
was pronounced by the Rev. Robert
Roache, of Milwaukee, an intimate
friend of both the bride and groom.
The bride was attired in a neat trav-
cling dress of brown brOadClOth and
the groom wore the accustomed travel
ing suit of black.
After the ceremony at the church
the bridal party were driven to the
Hotel Pfster, where they were the
guests of the BRIDES. cousin, City At
torney Carl Runge. Here in the dim
ing room of the hotel a sumptnons
wedding dinner was served, after
which Mayor and Mrs. German left
Milwaukee for wedding trip to Om-
aha and other western cities. They
passed through Kenosha this afternoon
and number of their friends who had
been made acquainted with the we'd
ding gave them a rousing send off.
Mr.. nd Mrs. German will return to
Kenosha in about week and will be at
home to their friends at their home on
Prairie avenue after March LIST. This
paper joins in wishing the Mayor and
his bride a long and happy married
life.
