Council COMMITTEES Are Too Free With
The Money of The Taxpayers
of The City.
MANY ACCOUNTS ARE ALLOWED.
And it is Shown When Investigation is
Made That They Should Not Have
Been Paid by the City.

Quite little comments being heard
on the streets today, on account of the
improper way in which the business of
the city is managed by certain COM
mittees of the City Council, and it is
probable that demand will be made
at the next meeting of the council ask
ing that some examination be made at
the next meeting of the City Council
of the methods employed by commit
tees, in investigating bills referred to
them.
AT the meeting on Monday evening
one of the committees reported large
bill as correct, and the items were or
dered paid, but since the order of pay
ment was made the city attorney took
occasion to look into the bill, and sew
era1 items we're found charged to the
city for which the city should not pay.
The committe reported in the stereo-
typed form that they had Carefully
examined the accounts and would rec
ommend that they be allowed and
paid,' and paid they were; and now it
is learned that the city is paying ex-
penses which should have been charged
to the State of Wisconsin. This fact
alone shows that the work of the COM
mittee is exceedingly lax. In the meet
ing held on Monday evening the Coun-
Gil allowed large number of bills and
there seems to be every reason to be-
1ieve that these bills were not in any
way warranted.
The question naturally arises as to
the manner in which the bills are
carefully examined" When the mat
ter was brought to his notice one of the
aldermen stated that, there was no
doubt but that the council paid many
bills which were not due, but, it seems,
the political pull is SO strong in the
Council that the bare mention of a bill
by the chairman was enough to secure
it's a1lowa1 and payment. Thus the
money of the taxpayers of the city is
being spent, and in some cases the
city is getting absolutely no return,
while in others the bills have not been
properly audited.
The members of the finance commit
tee report that the city is on the verge
announcer uuduC1d1 embarrassment,
which will be worse than any in the
past, and it is high time that someone
with a business head took hold of the
affairs of the city, and to see that the
people get value received for the money
that is paid out.
If bills are being paid without be-
ing due it is time further investiga-
tions should be made, and see how much
other careless, if not crooked, work is
being done by the City Council. There
are altogether too many committees
to transact important business, and
the standing committees of the. Coun-
Gil are considered by most people to be
sufficient to handle all the business of
the Council. ,.-.,
Now is the time for the taxpayers of
the city to open their eyes and
see forothemse1ves that Kenosha is in
need of some business man to take the
reins of the city government and make
ar effort to bring order out of the chaos
| that years of misru1e have placed about
the affairs of the city. ''

of Whereabouts of Missing Man.

Walter p. Cou1try, assistant claim
and freight agent for the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois Railway company,
who had been missing from his home
for several weeks has been found and
the discovery of the whereabouts of
the man came through the announce

Milwaukee, but he had been residing
with his aunts in Chicago. Sever al

Slosson. Lately the couple have re-
turned to Chicago to make their home
and all will be forgiven. .
Coultry is one of the best known
young men connected with the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois railway and the
announcement of hissmarriage to the
Kenosha lady caused great deal of
surprise among his Chicago friends.

President r. c. Spencer of Milwau
kee has measures before the legisla-
ture, one of which, if enacted, would
prove. most radical. One proposes a
salaried inspector of the eighteen day
schools for the deaf, located in. yari-
Gus cities. Inspector Parker Of the
high school is quoted as regard ng
these schools from a pedagogical
standpoint as. the most perfect schools
in the state There is no doubt they
are doing good work.
Another bill proposes to abolish the
Delavan school for the deaf and dumb,
or rather turn it into an institution for
the instructing of public school teach
ers in manual training and elemen-
taqy agriculture, though the door is
left open to use the plant for such
other educational uses as the normal
school regents may direct. Spencer is
a blunt man, and is frankly working
to suppress institutional teaching of
the deaf and dumb.
No school of Mines.
There has been some talk Of a
school of mines as department of the
state university | notice that Re
gent Merrill of Ashland, who is famil-
lar with mining, takes the ground
that the university has its hands fun
in caring for agricultural students, he
regarding that industry as. more i'm
sportaIft to Wisconsin than mining, and
in building up the new college of COM
merce. There is a school of mines in
Houghton in the northern peninsula,
and NO doubt Wisconsin students who
wish TO study mining can get what
they want there.

SOME ARRESTS MADE.
Police Believe They Have the Man Who
Held Up Mcdonald.

Deputy Sheriff Ellsworth of Meader-
Vile today arrested two men on sus-
picion Of being concerned in the hold up
and shooting at Shaft No. 5 of the Boston
and Montana company.
The first man arrested was David
Carey, and he was locked up in the
county jail where he will be held on
charge Of vagrancy pending investiga-
ton. The second person arrested was
Jim Walsh. and he was locked up in the
city Jail pending investigation.
John Fitzpatrick. who has been occupy
ing room with Carey at the Eureka
lodging house, stated about noon today
that Carey retired about 10 or II O'Clock
last night and did not awaken until he
awakened him after daylight. He was
sure, he said, that Carey had not left
the room during the night.
Two deputy sheriffs were sent from this
city this morning to the scene of the
hold-up to get what particulars they
could, but in view of the fact that all the
men on shift at the time We're asleep
when they arrived but little information
could be CLEANED. What the officers de-
sire is close description of the robbers,
which will probably be furnished this
evening.

chemical experts sustained my analysis
in every detail, in fact, the Alger relief
commission suppressed this report of
their own chemist and merely said in
their report to the public, that 'inasmuch
as Mr.. Days analysis was not sustained
by the governments own expert chem

Review of Trade.

New York, Jan. 9.-Speculative ex-
change this morning under the influence
of a violent upward movement in Mis-
souri, Pacific and some other stocks.
The resumption Of the bull manlEula-
ton for the advance made itself evident
in Union Pacific. The rush to buy this
stock made the opening transactions
run up to $4,000 shares. at an extreme
advance of one point. There was also a
wide opening in Missouri Pacific. but the
large selling to realize forced the price
back under last nights closing. An enor-
nous demand then developed which car
lied the price upwards on the buying
tide to s5as, thus crossing Union Pacific
The stock then fell back. Under the
leadership of this aggressive advance
other points of strength developed. The
southWesterns We're all more or less at
fected and Louisville & Nashville rose
above 80 on the expectation of an in
crease in the dividend rate. The most
notable declines at the opening were in
National Tube, which broke four points,
and the preferred y on the announce
ment of the project for large compet-
ing plant by the Carnegie interests.
Both stocks had a good recovery, and
the steel group generally developed
strength.
The basis Of the speculation in rail-
road stocks was the continued eXpecta-
ton that there would be further devei-
opments of railroad combinations in the
community of interests policy.
