CALL NEW SINISTER.
The Rev. G. j. Karl to Become Pastor o.
the Swedish Lutheran Church.

The Rev. G. j. Karl to Become Pastor of
the Swedish Lutheran Church.
At the meeting of the congregation
of the Swedish Lutheran church held
recently a unanimous call was issued
to Rev. C. J. Karl, of Rock Island, Ill,
and it is expected that he will be the
new minister of the church to succeed
the Rev. S. N. Elvin, who has accepted
call to the church in Racine.
Mr.. Karl, who has been called TO the
Kenosha church, is one of the best
known of the students at the Augusta
ma college, at Rock Island. He will be
ordained as minister early in June
and the churches at Waukegan and
Kenosha will have his first services
after his ordination. Mr.. Karl has
made splendid record while in college
and is said to be pulpit orator of
great power. He is also a mixer in
the truest sense of the word and it is
thought that he will make the Keno
sha church very popular among the
Swedish people of the city.

LAURA BIGGAR GETS $500, 900
Former Wife of John w. Mcconnell Gets a
Large Fortune.

Former Wife of John w. Mcconnell Gets a
Large Fortune.
Miss Laura Biggar, the former wife
of the actor, John w. Mcconnell, who
was with the William Owen company
for many years, has finally secured a
settlement with the executors of the
estate of the late Henry M. Bennett,
of Pittsburg. BY the settlement Miss
Biggar will receive money and proper
ty valued at 100000. The settlement
was made by mutual agreement be-
tween the parties interested and all of
the legal fights in regard to the settle
ment of the estate will be dropped.
Since the famous suit in which Miss
Biggar established her right TO por-
ton of the Bennett estate repeated
rumors have been sent out that the
woman would return to her former
husband, Mr.. Mcconnell. This rumor
has been denied by both parties but as
the son of the couple is now travelling
with Mr.. Mcconnell it is probable that
this tie will yet reunite the former low
ers. Miss Biggar will secure posses
sion Of her portion of the estate at once
and will leave the stage and spend the
summer travelling in Japan.

interference of Organized Labor With
Worknren Results in a Suit In
Justice Court.
BoYCoETs MENACE BUSINESS
Contractors Refuse to Deliver Lime to
Latter Brings Suit to. Recover.

A unique suit has been started in the
justice court Of Justice Sturges. which
will be of the greatest moment to the
mem bers of the various building trades
in the city.
The suit is that of L. p. Nelson a
journeyman carpenters against Field
schau Bros, dealers in lime. It is al
legged that the dealers refused to keep
a contract to furnish lime for Nelson,
and the latter has brought suit to
recover the value of the lime and
damages for delay caused by the fail
ure of the company to make deliveries.
The suit is the most interesting one
that has ever come up jim the .labor
world Of Kenosha. The friends Of
Nelson claim that the recent organiza-
ton of associations among the con-
tractors, was the cause of the failure
of Nelson to secure his lime. Nelson
is not regular contractor but he
claims that the rules of the Carpenters
union allowed him to take small COM
tracts, and he took the contract for the
repair of a house by day work. He
attempted to get some of the mason
contractors TO do the brick work but
they declined, and at this point he
called in journeyman bricklayer to
attend to this part of the building.
The man accepted the job and Nelson
started out to get limel for the work.
He went to one of the lime dealers and
claims that he discovered that COM
mittee was on the way to notify the
dealers not to sell to Nelson, and
threatening boycott if lime was sold
to him. The com mittee had not reach
ed the Feldschau Office when Nelson
arrived there and the members of the
firm accepted the money and cons ented
to deliver the lime. When Nelson
called for the lime later the dealers
refused to deliver it, claiming that in
the mean time they hadssold out to
third party. The money was offered
to Nelson, but he refused to' accept it
and demanded the lime. Later in the
day he managed to secure lime from
one of the other dealers who refused
to abide by any orders issued by any
association.
It is understood that the Carpenters
and Masons Unions are backing Nelson
in the fight, and by the suit they hope
to overthrow any powers that may
have been conceded to the dealers by
the con tractors.

FORMS A COMPANY.
G. S. Anderson. of This City, Will Develop
His Holdings of Stone Ouarries.


His Holdings of Stone Ouarries.
Articles Of incorporation have been
filed in the state of Illinois for the in
corporation of the Diamond Cement
and Lithograph Stone Company of
Chicago" The company is organized
by c. S. Anderson, of this city, for the
purpose of working his extensive stone
quarries in the state of Missouri.
The quarries have recently been ex
amined by Prof. r. C. Carpenter of
Cornell University, who is regarded as
an expert on geology, and in letter to
Mr.. Anderson the Professor states that
the quarries are most valuable. He
states that all the materials needed for
the manufacture of Portland cement
are found in the quarries and acting on
this report large factory for the man
ufacture of cement will be erected at
once.
Ia speaking of the deposit of 1itho-
graphic stone Prof. Carpenter said,
"Your property has the finest speci-
mems of photographic stone I have ever
SEEN"
A number of leading Chicago cap
ita1ists have been interested in the
project, and there is no doubt but that
Mr.. Anderson will reap rich returns
from his holdings.

RUMOR rs DENIED.
Charles Allen States Positively That the
Kenosha Tannery Has Not Been Sold.


For some days a rumor has been
ahoat in Kenosha that the N. r.
Aliens Sons tannery has been sold to
the United States Leather company.
The rumor seemed to come from
sources that were reliable and many
people in the city have regarded it as
true. This morning Charles w. Allen,
who is at the head of the plant, gave
out positive statement that no deal
had been made between the managers
of the Kenosha plant and the big
leather trust.
No admission is made in regard to
negotiations and as far as can be
learned in Kenosha the deal between
the Aenosha tannery and the trust
stands just where it did when the first
overtures were made to the company
several years ago. The fact that the
officers of the company had been in
New York for the past week gave color
to the story of the alleged sale but the
positive denial of Mr.. Allen in regard
to the sale will probably serve to settle
all rumors of sale.

DIED FROM HER INJURIES.
Mrs- PfueIRerr Who was Scalded Friday,
Expired at Her Home This Nrorninv

Mrs. PfueI9er, Who Was Scalded Friday,
Expired at Her Home This Morning.
Mrs. Flora Pfueller, wife of Alvin
Pfueller, who was seriously burned by
the over turning of a vessel of boiling
water at her home on Newell street
Friday afternoon, died from her in
iuries shortly after nine O'Clock this
morning. Death resulted from the
shock which followed the accident.
During The night Mrs. Pfueller suf-
fered almost inhnman pain from the
wounds which had been inflicted by
the accident and the efforts of the ply
sicians called to attend the unfortunate
lady could only in measure allay the
great pain. Just before her death she
suffered intensely and death came as a
release from the terrible suffering.
The accident which resulted in the
death of Mrs. Pfueller occurred Just
after noon Friday. She was getting
dinner ready and had started to carry
a vessel filled with water to sink in
the room when she slipped and fell and
the water was poured over the entire
upper portion of the body. She was
terribly burned about the face and
shoulders and before death came near.
.ly all the skin on this part of the body
came off, leaving the flesh exposed.
The deceased was native of Ger
many but had resided in this city for
several years. She was in her forty
fourth year and is survived by hus-
band and large family of children.
The death of Mrs. Pfueller has caused
great sorrow in the neighborhood, as
she was loved and respected by all who
knew her.

The wonderful growth Of her manu-
featuring establishments is the best
guarantee Kenosha can have of future
prosperity. The solid substantial bus
mess men at the head of these enter
prises who have paid the highest mar.
ket price for labor year in and year out
are the men who have made Kenosha
what it is today. Instead of wasting
time and money in the effort to induce
outside factories to locate here wiser
course for the people who are inter
ested in the building up of the city to
take would be to use every means IN
their power to make it possible for the
managers of the factories now doing
business IN our city to get and keep all
the men they can give employment to.
If the men who put up bonuses and
took stock in various concerns induced
to locate here in the past had that
money now to invest in houses for the
workingmen they could not only secure
a profitabl bic investment for themselves
but do Infinitely more good for Keno
sha with it by investing it IN that way.
If the citizens of Kenosha go about it
in the right way the population of the
city can be increased twenty per cent.
or more in the next year or two.
Every factory in Kenosha is either
planning to enlarge its plant or has
started work on additions and the men
needed after these additions are com.
pleted must be brought here. There
are no accommodations for the men
now but they must be provided unless
the people of the city are willing to con.
TESS that there is not enough gumption
In Kenosha to take advantage of a
good thing. Almost any other city in
the country would jump at the chance
to secure such an increase in popula.
ton without putting up or risking a
dollar-money invested in renting
property will pay large dividends for
years to come-and if Kenosha lets
this opportunity go by she may never
have another. Every merchant,
every builder, every professional man,
every property owner and every man
that has dollar invested and stake
IN the future of the city is vitality in
terested in this matter of increasing
the population of the city. The class
of men seeking homes here is just the
class that the city needs-men who
make their money here and spend it
here. Putting aside any question of
loyalty to the city or civic pride and
looking at the matter from purely
selfish standpoint, it is for the interest
of every man who has money invested
IN Kenosha to see to it that places are
found for all who want to locate here,
for every one we get.increases the vol
ume of business and the value of all
real estate.

WANT CARBON BURIED.
People of the Eastern Part of City object
to Lake Shore Being Used as Dump.

People of the Eastern Part of City object
to Lake Shore Being Used as Dump.
A loud wall of protest is being sent
up by residents of the lake shore dis
trict on account of the fact that the
body of dead horse has been dumped
in the sand south of the city. No eff
fort has been made to bury the carrion
and the stencil that is arising is be-
coming almost unbearab BILE to the peo-
pie residing in the district.
Complaints have been made to the
police Office but it is claimed that the
police have nothing to#do with the
matter as the body has been dumped
out side of the city limits. The sheriff
also disclaims the responsibility in the
matter and places the responsibility on
the health officers of the town board of
Pleasant Prairie.
For the sake of the public health of
the city the City Council should order
some one to go to the lake front and
bury the remains of the horse and the
man who dumped it there should be
discovered andd.sprosecuted to the full
extent of the law.

KENosHA CONTRACTORS FAIL.
Jorgensen g. Larsen Said to Have Filed Pc
tition In Bankruptcy.

1t is reported from Racine today that
Jorgensen & Larsen, the well known
mason contractors of Kenosha, have
filed a petition of bankruptcy in the
United States court. The liabilities
are placed at $500 and the assets at
$4,000. It is claimed that there has
been considerable friction in the firm
during the past few months and it is
probable that the petition has been
filed for the purpose of securing set
Element of the business and a dissolu-
ton of the partnership. From the
showing made in the petition the firm
is perfectly solvent.
The company has been in business
in Kenosha for several years and has
been prominent in the building world.
They have held number of large con-
tracts and the work has always been
carried out. Recently they secured
the contract for the erection of large
school building at Grand Rapids, Wis,
and the senior member of the firm has
been in that city experimenting that
work. 1t is said that the contracts
held by the firm in this city will be in
no way affected by the failure of the
company.
Neither Jorgensen or Larsen were in
the city today and no more authoritive
statement of the facts in the case
could be secured. Both of the partners
are well known among the laborers of
the city and they have always held an
untarnished financial reputation. It
is probable that the matter will be
easily settled in the court and that the
two men will continue business but
not as firm.

BUBLICR rs CAPTURED.
Man Wanted For Grand Larceny In Keno
sha Is Arrested at West Salem.

Sh8 IS Arrested at Vest Salem.
William Bublick, wanted in this city
on charge of grand larceny, was ar
rested under an assumed name at West
Salem, a small town northwest Of
Madison, Friday after noon and he is
now in the county Jail at Madison
awaiting orders from this county.
Bublick is charged with having robbed
the boarding house of Mrs. M. r. Riley
on Park street.
He went into the house on April oath
and managed to get away with jewelry
to the extent of sixty-five dollars. He
was traced to Chicago but managed to
give the officers the slip and later it is
supposed that he went to West Salem
from Chicago. He was arrested at the
Wisconsin village on charge of steal
ing suit of clothes but as the charge
against him here is one that will admit
of far greater punishment the Dane
county officials have consented to al
low the Kenosha police the right to
bring Bublick here for trial
The police seem to believe that Bub-
lick has worked under several aliases
and that in this manner he has been
guilty of several robberies. It is prob
able that he will be brought back to
Kenosha on Monday. None of the
goods taken from the Riley home have
been recovered.

DURKEE HEIRS BUSY AGAIN,
Claimants of Fortune Stop Wyoming Train
to Serve Papers In Famous Suit.

to Serve Papers In Famous Suit.
Some of the heirs Of the late Charles
Durkee, of this city, are again making
an effort to collect the money that is
alleged to be due the estate from GER
tain Western Railway bonds, and on
Thursday they stopped the private
train of e. II. Hartman, the railway
magnate, at Evanston, Wyoming, and
secured service on him for suit by
which they expect to collect $27 900, 900.
The train had run through Ogden,
Utah, at the rate of fifty miles an hour
in order to prevent any effort to secure
summons in the suit at that point, and
it is claimed that Mr.. Hartman was
making every possible effort to prevent
service being made on him. AS the
train pulled into Evanston much to
the surprise of the Hartman party
sheriff stepped into Mr.. Harriman's
private car and served the notice of the
suit.
This new suit is a decided innova-
tion in the fight that the Durkee heirs
have been making for the mythical
fortune, as always in the past they had
insisted that the money was due to
them from the United States Govern
ment. Less than year ago the Gov
eminent threw the matter out of Court
and an opinion was handed down
which stated that the Government
never did owe Charles Durkee or any
of his heirs cent.
