PARK COMMISSION PLANS.
Will Be Placed on View in Congress
sional Library Building.

The plans and models of the park com
mission are now being transferred from
the Corcoran Art Gallery to the Congress
siOnal Library. They will be in place in
the south room on the second floor of the
Library building ready for exhibition next
Monday. The wide interest that has been
attracted by the plans Of the commission,
and the necessity for placing them in a
place where senators and representatives
can see and study them has caused those
who have them in charge to decline to per-
NIT their transfer from this city until after
the adjournment of Congress. After tha.
time they may be loaned temporarily foc
exhibition IN other cities, in response to
requests that have been made for them.
They will be part of the government eX-
hibit at the ST Louis exposition.

B. Hermann & Co. File a Voluntary
Petition in Bankruptcy in the
United States Court.
LIABILITIES WILL REACH s27,593
Many Kenosha Creditors Named In the
Long List and Nearly All the Claims
Are Observation-Disclosures $4,000.

Quite a little stir was caused in
business circles in Kenosha Thursday
evening when it was announced that
during the afternoon Norman T..
Baker, as attorney, had filed in the
United States court at Milwaukee a
petition in bankruptcy for the firm of
B. Hermann & Co., the Milwaukee
avenue clothing and dry goods men.
The petition places the liabilities of
the firm at $27 ,593.48 and the assets at
SIS, 476.48. Just before the fling of the
voluntary petition number of the
creditors appeared in the United States
court and asked for the appointment of
receiver for the business and the
Kenosha Trust company was named.
This company is now in charge of the
business pending the appointment of
trustee by the court.
The claims are due to some sixty
creditors and range from $50 to $4, 900.
The heaviest creditor is the J. v. Far
well company Of Chicago, and Wende-
lin Dagenbach, of this city, is an
endorser on large amount of the
paper of the company. It is possible
that number of Kenosha people will
be forced into financial straights by
the failure of the company but it is
impossible to tell at this time the ex-
tent of the claims of Kenosha people.
The B. Hermann company is one of
the best known clothing firms in the
city and it has been in business for
many years. The members of the firm
are Bernard Hermann and Mrs. Geo.
Vo1mer. For some time the company
was located on Main street but several
years ago it removed its business to
the Dagenbach building on Milwaukee
avenue. It is claimed that the COM
pany had been doing losing business
for several years and during this time
the creditors had been keeping close
watch on the business. The firm
seems to have had unlimited credit
until a short time ago, and when credit
was no longer extended the money for
the purchase of stock was secured by
loans and ia this manner smany Keno
sha friends of the members of the firm
were brought in the crash.
The stock of the company will prob
ably be sold and an effort will be made
to pay portion of the Indebtedness.
At the present time it seems that the
stock will not pay more than 20 cents
on the dollar and it is possible that
the expense of settling up the bust
ness will greatly reduce this amount.
Mrs. George Volmer, the junior
member of the firm, is FRUSTRATED at
her home, 318 Pine street, and her
condition is considered critical. For
some time Mrs. Volmer had been MAX
ing an effort to find a way out of the
financial difficulties and it is thought
that this worry is largely responsible
for her serious illness.
The creditors of the company will
hold meeting early in the new year
and at that time arrangements will be
made for the sale of the property and
the settlement of the business. In the
meantime it is probable that many
suits will be filed by creditors not rep
resented in the bankruptcy proceed
ings.

A MUSICAL TREAT.

Prof. Ernest Rose Makes Successful De-
but to a Kenosha Audience.
Kenosha musical circles had a rare
treat Thursday afternoon when Prof.
Ernest Rose, recent graduate of the
Imperial High School of Music in
Berlin, Germany, made his debut to
a Kenosha audience at a piano recital
at the Guild hall. Prof. Rose was
assisted by Miss Belle Head, soprano;
Prof. F. r. Jacoby, violin, and Mrs. l..
E. Kaltenbach, piano.
The program opened with G. M. v.
Weber's "Perpetuum Mobile" played
by Prof. Rose in mastery manner,
showing his splendid technique and
ability as PIANIST. Miss Head, Keno
sha's favorite soprano, sang in beau
tiful manner Chaminade's "Summer."
She was forced to respond to a hearty
encore.
The next number on the program
was trio from Mozart arranged for
the violin, piano and cello and played
by Prof. Jacoby, Mrs. L. E. Ka1ten-
bach and Prof. Rose. The work of
Prof. Rose on the cello was especially
pleasing. The violin solo,, "Walters'
Preis Lied" byWagner, was played in
charming manner by Prof. Jacoby.
Prof. Rose closed the program by
playing sHenselt's Isl oisean ie'tais''
and Kul1ak's lie matin" with fine
musical conception and execution.

John e. Heating dominates His Colt NAL
DRY for the kentucky Derby.
For the first time in the history of
the city Kenosha will have a horse in
the great Kentucky Derby, which will
be run at Louisville next spring, as
John E. Heating has nominated his
2-year-old colt Mallory for the big
event.
Mallory was recently purchased by
Mr.. Heating from the horse firm of
Brown & Dick and when he goes to
the post at Louisville he will run his
maiden race. Mallory has been in
training during the past season but
Mr.. Heating has declined to put him in
any race as he was reserving him for
the derby.
Mallory is said to be one of the COM
ing colts and it is limited that he will
be even greater colt than Dick
Welles, who was introduced to the
track by Heating & Hecker.
Kenosha people will watch with
great interest the work of Mallory and
it is probable that he will go to the
post in the big race carrying a large
amount of Kenosha money. Mallory
is being wintered at the Roby track.

Taylor E. Brown, of Chicago, DeIiy-
ers an Interesting Address Be-
fore Mems Climb Thursday.
STRONG PLEAFOR BETTER CITIZENS
Meetinng Was One of the Most Interesting
Ever Held by the Members of the Club
and a Large Crowd Attended,

mo chain is stronger than its weak
est link, and no Government is strong
er than its weakest members of So
cieties.'' This was the central thought
of the address on stThe Duties an Re
sponsibilities of the Citizen" delivered
by Taylor E. Brown, of Chicago, at
the meeting of the Mems club Of St.
Matthew's parish at the Guild hall
Thursday evening.
Mi. Brown, who is a member of the
well known law firm of Poole & Brown
has long been a fighter for better gov
eminent and his address for this rea-
son was of more than usual interest.
In speaking of the duties and re-
sponsibi1ities of citizenship Mr.. Brown
stated in prefacing his remarks that
he was great believer in the home.
He said that he had no use for bach
elors and no sympathy for old maids,
as the whole texture 'of a government
is built about the home life of its peo-
pie. He found four sides to every man
that should be equal. The business
side, the political side, the religious
side and the social side In order to
prevent the man from being top heavy
Mr.. Brown said that all sides should
be equal.
He spoke of helpfulness in business
for both employer and employed, and
in political life he insisted that every
citizen should take the greatest inter-
est in the political life of the city and
Nation. The caucuses should claim
his best attention and lie should give
his time to see that the best man is
named for the various places of honor
in the gift of the people.
He found in the religious side of the
man one of the most important
functions of government and he de-
clared that for a government to reach
its highest point it's Individual mem
bers must be of religious nature. In
the social side of man Mr.. Brown found
one of the most important points in
the making of the good citizen. He
said much on the importance of home
life and the proper training of the
children SO that they would be able to
take on themselves the importan ut
duties of citizenship.
In speaking of the society side of
life he did not refer to the society as
the term is generally accepted, but a
new society in which the home and
the ties that bind to family is the most
important factor. He spoke of the in
huence of the father in the family and
its tendency to map out the life of the
boys and girls.
In concluding his remarks he spoke
of the great good that had been done
in different parts of the country by
clubs formed among the young men
and women, speaking especially of ne
work of the Sisters of St. Mary 4ong
the women of Chicago and of ne sue
cessful clubs that had been formed for
them in different cities Of the country.
The dinner was one of the most sue
cessfu1 in the history of the club.
More than hundred of the members
and their friends responded to the in
vitation, and after the address of the
evening music was provided and a
jolly social hour was spent.

LAKES OLAIra 40.
Death Records on the Great Lakes for
the Season.

Death Records on the Great Lakes for
the Season
The death harvest on the great lakes
during the season of 1902 has been the
greatest recorded, 140 lives having
been lost. The figures for the last
seven years are as follows: 1896, Go
deaths; 1897, 88; 1898, IS; 1899, 100:
1900, 10; 1901, 1872; 1902, 40.
Lake Erie, which last year had only
eleven deaths charged up against it,
now leads with tifty-nine. Lake SUI
perior was the watery grave Of forty;
Lake Michigan had fourteen, Lake
Huron twenty-five and Lake Ontario
FIVE. Ten sailors were lost in the De-
troit and ST. Claire rivers.
Notwithstanding the years large
total six more sailors went down with
their ships in 1901 than in 1902, the
figures being SO and So. On the other
hand forty-seven men fell overheard
and were drowned during the season
just closed, big increase over 1901.
Loss of life in collisions increased
from five in 1901 to fifteen in 1902.
1t seems to be the fate of Lake Su-
perior to swallow up one modern
steamer every year. Last season it
was the Hudson, which foundered off
Keweenaw point. This season it has
been the Bannocl burn, which went
down somewhere between Port Arthur
and Sau1t Ste. Marie.
In a number of instances during the
fail storms the need of government in
spection of sailing vessels and tow
barges has again become apparent.
While steamers undergo the strictest
inspection, no attention is paid by the
government to the ships which sail or
are towed.
The steady increase lin the number
of dead from year to year has not been
as great in proportion as the number
of men employed on lake ships.
The percentage of deaths, however,
was considerably less in 1902 than it
was in 1896. One cause is the excellent
work of the life saving service. Cap
tains give the weather bureau high
praise for the excellence of its storm
signals throughout the fall.
