Wisconsin Insurance Agency Company
Secures Control of National In
surance and investment CO.
ABOUT THE CHICAGO LLOYDS.
Insurance Experts Tell of the Beauties of
the New Wisconsin Organization in
Very Entertaining Manner.

The Wisconsin Insurance Agency
company of this city, which was
recently organized by Walter M.
Cowe11, according to the statements of
one of it's officers, has closed a deal by
which the Kenosha company becomes
the owner of the National Insurance
and Investment Company, of Dover,
Delaware. The company is well
known in insurance circles and has
paid up capital stock of 100000. The
central offices of the company which
have in the past been at Dover, will be
removed to Chicago and held IN the
offices of the Kenosha Company there.
With the purchase of the company
new officers have been elected as fol-
lows: President, Robert Holt, of Do
yer: Vice President, John 7. Peersh-
ing, of Chicago; Secretary, Fred G.
Babcock, of Kenosha; Treasurer,
Walter M. Cowe11, of Kenosha.
In connection with this purchase it
should be announced that the Keno
sha company now has control of the
Union L1oyds in Chicago and it has
issued prospectus in which number
of residents of Kenosha are named as
the underwriters of the company. The
new Chicago company has not been
given a very flattering reception by
the insurance world, and the feeling
in regard to the company is expressed
in pretty vigorous language by AL
fred M. Best in Best's Insurance re-
ports. In speaking of the Chicago
Lloyds and the Underwriters, Mr..
Best says:
eve wish to call particular atten-
ton to the report on this concern
printed herein. We sincerely trust
that this extraordinary aggregation of
'money Barons'' will secure the meas
ure of support to which it is entitled.
The launching of this enterprise is an
inspiring illustration of how by strict
economy, clerks, Wallets, persons who
have failed in business ard even those
who never work, can save large sums
out of small salaries Tor no salary at all)
enabling them to join hands with sim
liar financial giants when an excep-
tiona11y good investment is offered.
All that is needed is plenty of imagi-
nation"

A NEWSPAPERS RIGHTS.

Every successful newspaper is more
or less annoyed by libel suits brought
by persons who have no solid ground
for their action or which have been in
stigated by shyster lawyers in the hope
of making a ''stake'' by getting the
newspapers to settle for small sum
rather than to go to the expense of de-
Tending the suit.
1t is gratifying to newspapers to
learn that court has at last taken &C
ton which will be likely to discourage
these harassing suits and afford some
protection against irresponsible plain
tiffs, who seldom are real sufferers
from alleged 1ibe1s. The case refer
red to was an action brought by a wo-
man against a New York newspaper.
The newspaper proved the truthful
ness of it's allegations, showing that
the woman had no case, whereupon
the court ordered that the plaintiff pay
$500 to the newspaper as recompense
for the annoyance and expense of de-
Tending suit brought without cause.
No reputable newspaper ever del1b-
erately 1ibe1s a person and if mis-
statement is inadvertently made it is
always ready to make correction

ROAD CASE IN COURT.
Well Known Residents of the Town of
wheatland Sued for Damages.

The Wheat1and road case has found
it's way into the courts, and suit for
damages has been filed in Which James
F. McGarry, of Madison, is the plain
tiff, and Henry Runk1e, August Neu-
man, Fred Borch, Herman Schulze,
Fred Funk and Fred Lemmerhardt, all
we'll known residents of the town are
named as defendants in the action.
The complaint in the suit alleges the
old story of the road fight which took
place on June 18th, when McGarry al
1eges that the defendants entered his
property by force and tore down his
fences. The plaintiff goes farther and
declares that the defendants prevent
ed him by threats from holding his
property in peaceable possession.
McGarry also includes in his state
ment of the case a full statement of
the purchase of the property and the
esta b1ishment of the lines by survey
CrS.
In concluding his complaint McGar-
ry demands that each of the defend
ants be forced to pay him damages in
the sum of $500, and that the court
issue a perpetual injunction against
the defendants to restrain them from
further interfering with McGarry in
the enjoyment of his property, and for
other damages as the court may de-
eide.
Since the road fight McGarry has
removed to Madison, and the firm of
Murphy and Kroncke have been re-
tanned to fight the case. The suit
promises to be most important one
and when it is brought to trial an eff
fort will be made to find settlement
of all the old fights over the road
lines in the western part of the county.

WOmans Club Starts a Movement to
Attract Song Birds to the
Door Yards ct Our City.
MISS FAIR READS THE PAPER.
Young Lady Discusses Wisconsin Birds
and Their Habits in a Very Inter
estIng and Entertaining Manner.

The members of the Woman's Club
of Kenosha have started in a new line
of work which will undoubtedly at
tract considera Bile attention in differ
ent parts of the State. The under
taking is on the line of not only pro-
tecting the song birds of Wisconsin,
but also a move to attract them to
the door-yards of Kenosha homes.
The movement was started at the
meeting of the club Wednesday after
noon, and if the plan is carried out in
few years Kenosha will be as full of
birds as the aviary in Lincoln park,
Chicago.
The subject of discussion for the
afternoon was "The Birds of Wiscon-
SIM and Miss Edna Farr read a
splendid paper. In her paper Miss
Farr took up the different varieties OF
birds in our State, and told a little
something of the habits of each OF
them. She spoke of the value OF the
birds, and of the laws that had been
enacted for their preservation. The
matter of the organization of Audubon
societies in the different states was
brought out by the essayist, and she
showed that Wisconsin was one of the
leading states in the Union in this line
of work.
The work of the society in Kenosha
has been a strong one, and it is stated
that not single lady at the club meet
ing Wednesday wore wing or a crest
- I'D Orn har
With the discussion of the paper
which was a general one, came the
suggestions for preserving the birds.
All sorts of plans were proposed but
the one that met with the general ap-
prevail was the plan to place little
dishes of food and water IN the door
yards for the purpose of attracting the
birds to the city. 1t is claimed that
this means has proved most effective
and it will be given a thorough trial
by the ladies of the city. During the
reading of the paper Miss Farr exhib-
tied a number of charts which added
greatly to the interest in the work.
The session closed with the usual
cup of tea, Mrs. G. W. TO1es and Mrs
Bronson pouring.

There are many funny things take

Judge but top notcher occurred a few
days ago when a prospective bride
groom, and he is we'll known in the
city, went to the judge to secure a
court order for hiss marriage.
The judge pulled down his big book
and began to write in the names.
"Now," said the judge, "what is the
name ofSthe bride?" The man looked
astonished, but he turned to the judge
and declared shat he did not know
what the woman's name was. The
Judge informed the bridegroom that he
could not issue the order without the
name of the'lady 'insquestion and the
man left the office. A short time later
the man returned with the name Of his
lady friend written on a piece of paper.
The order was duly issued and the
wedding followed in the evening. The
Judge and hissassistants refuse to di-
vulge the name of the bridegroom or
the bride.

Frohman Company Gives Splendid Pro-
ductton of the Barrie Play.
"The Little Minister" the play in
which Miss Maud Adams achieved the
success of the century was presented
at the Rhode opera house Wednesday
evening by one of the Frohman COM
panies and it is seldom that "a play
has been produced in Kenosha that
gave such general satisfaction. The
play was admirably staged and was
presented by an entirely competent
company of players. (
Miss Fannie Stevens, on the bill
head "Frances," made the hit of the
evening. AS "Lady Babby," Miss
Stevens is duplicating the triumphs
won as leading lady for W. H.
Crane two seasons ago and her splen-
did Interpretation was awarded re-
peated applause by the large audience.
Miss Stevens shared the honors of the
evening with Horace Mitchell, who
appeared in the title role, and with
Miss Henderson, who took the difficult
role of "Nannie."
In all the play was one of the best
presented in Kenosha during the sea-
son and it is regretted that it was not
greeted by more representative audi
ence of play goers.

FIRE ENGINE FOR ZION.
New city to Have Fire Protect1on-A
Quite Essential Quantity.

Captain Streck, of the Zion City fire
department, placed an order in South
Milwaukee yesterday with the COM
pany that manufactures high-grade
machines in that city for one of its
largest motor engines.
What Dowie will do with the engine
for time is not known. At present
there is no water system in Zion and
how the engine can be used for fire
purposes is hard to determine. Per"
haps a means of hauling water from
the artesian wells in large tanks to
scenes of fire may be contemplated.
At ali events with the great amount
of building and the many new houses,
some kind of protection is certainly
needed at once.

HE CAN WAKE THE JUDGE.
Philadelphia Lawyer Exercises a Trio
of the Voice with Success.

Philadei phia Lawyer Exercises a Trick
of the Voice with Success.
There is said to be lawyer in Phila-
delphia who possesses u trick Of the
voice to which certain measure of
his success Is due. The trick consists
in waking the Judge. Whether 1t is a
common practice for the high digni-
taries Of the Federal Supreme bench
to indulge In nap in the course of a
long argument such happenings are
not unknown, and 1t is we'll for an able
lOgician of the bar to be prepared for
It.
The trick of waking a sleepy Judge
would seem to be something In the ma
ture of slamming law book under his
nose or connecting his personality with
the current of an electric battery. But
the trick is explained as purely mat
ter of sound involved in the skillful
control of the voice. 1t Is said that a
barrister practiced in the art and rhet-
ORIG of addressing the bench can
gather all the waves of sound from his
throat into focus and deposit 1t in
the Judges ear with the general effect
of bomb. The trick, however 1t Is
accomplished, is said to have been
worked repeatedly with success on the
late Judge McKenna, whose habit of
going to sleep on the bench was once a
notorious subject of comment In the
celebrated litigation over the Berliner
telephone patents.
This queer trick Of the voice, while 1t
Is said to be the peculiar property Of
one celebrated lawyer, is probably at
tempted often with varying success by
others.
