Sewer Committee of the Council Beuin
to Make Plans for the Installation
of New System.
GREAT COST PROVES A DRAW BACK
Committee Unable to Decide Whether the
Cost Should be Paid by the City as a
Whole or Property Owners Interested.

The new sewer committee of the city
council is wrestling with the greatest
problem that has ever been presented
the to city council of Kenosha since the
special charter was issued for the
opening of the city and in order to
make some Roadway in this regard the
committee is holding nightly sessions.
The problem that is confronting the
committee is the complete re-organ-
| ization of the sewer system of
the city. The Encouragement of
the system will be an engin-
eering feat which will probably cost
the people of the city near to hundred
thousand dollars and for this reason
the com mittee is moving very slowly
il the matter. But the problem must
be solved in the very near future and
the committee will soon take the bull
by the horns and ask the people of the
city to make some decision in regard
to the matter.
The great question in regard to the
building Of the new system is to secure
the funds for such great work. At
present the city has no available funds
and the surplus of the assessment of
taxes for many years would be needed
for the work. 1t is possible that it will
be necessary for the city to levy a
special assessment on all the property
III the city to raise the money. The
committee is 10th to order such an
assessment and some effort is being
made to get factory owners and real
estate men interested in the construc-
ton OF the sewers to make a PROPOSE
ton by which at least portion of the
great burden of expense will be lifted
from the shoulders of the city IN
general and placed on the people who
are directly interested in the building
of the new system.
Many plans have been suggested to
the committee by City Engineer Moth.
One of them includes the use of Jerome
Greek as main sewer but this is
fraught with difficulties as some times
of the year this creek is well filed with
water, and it is. possible that at these
times it will not be able to carry the
q dded water brought in from the sew
ers. Another plan provides for the
building of two large sewers one on
the north and one on the south side of
tae city, but this plan brings in the
element of ever greater expense. The
committee will probably make some
report to the council at its next meet
ing which will bring the matter prop
erly before the people.
In the mean time the city attorney
is being kept busy looking up the legal
points in connection with the install
ing OF the new system, and by the time
the work of the committee is done Mr..
Slater will have ali the legal docu-
ments ready for the council to accept.

SURETY COMPANY MUST PAY.
Attorney Buckmaster Makes Formal De-
mand in Behalf of Bank Creditors.

Attorney Buckmaster Makes Formal De-
mand in Behalf of Bank Creditors.
Attorney Albert E. Buckmaster, act
ing for the Attorney General of the
State and for the receiver of the Ken
osha State Bank TODAY made demand
on the Fidelity and Deposit Company
Of Maryland, that they begin the work
of paying off the creditors of the Ken
osha State Bank as provided by the
bond which the company recently filed
in the circuit at Racine. The demand
is made at the request of many of the
creditors of the bank, who chahng at
the delay, have begun to fear that they
will not receive their money.
There is absolutely no chance for
the depositors of the bank to lose any,
thing, as the Fidelity Company is good
for many times the amount of the
bond, but it is said that the officers of
the company who have been examin-
ing the assets Of the bank, are not as
yet entirely satisfied with the result of
the examination and that for this
reason they have deferred payment in
order to obtain more security from
President Komp and his associates in
business. President Komp, according
to the statement of the attorney for
the receiver, has money on hand and
is ready to pay the depositors and other
creditors, but he is being held back by
the haudit10 rOY1nanv
In his demand upon the managers,
the attorney stated that unless pay
ment was started at once the creditors
would start an action to have the
bonds of the company declared violate
and force the company to pay the
Indebtedness
II is claimed by the officers of the
company in their statement to Mr..
Buckmaster, that when they assumed
the liabilities of the bank that they
were not aware that the funds in the
Corn Exchange Bank in Chicago were
tied up by an injunction and it is pos
sib1e that the company is awaiting the
outcome of the in junction before max
ing any payments to creditors.
Of course this injunction does not in
any way relieve the Maryland Com
pany of any liability under its con-
tract with the circuit court. o
With this pushing up by the at
torney it is possible that the bonding
company will see the necessity of
beginning payment at the bank at
once.
Attorney Buckmaster, representing
creditors, has make formal demand
for money from the bank. but the de-
mand was not greeted with a ready
respone in cash.
The following was received from
President Komp this afternoon:
Chicago, ILL.,, April %. 1908
To A. E. Buckmaster, Kenosha:
Must have order from receiver before
Corn Exchange will pay money. Ex-
pect to have Wauconda case settled to-
day, when, with receivers order, we
can get funds and pay out at once

AN ARTISTIC TRIUMPH.
Two Marvellous Reproductions of Famous
Paintings by Berlin Lithographers.

Two Marvellous Reproductions of Famous
Paintings by Berlin photographers.
One of our advertisers, the Calumet
Baking Powder Company of Chicago,
is distributing free to some of it's pa
irons some of the remarka BILE examples
of the perfection which the lithograph-
er's art has attained. Several years
age this company purchased two cele-
brated paintings and sent them abroad,
where TYPOGRAPHY is in much higher
state of development than in this
country, for reproduction. The idea
which they had in mind was that it
was possible, if sufficiently skil1ful ar
lists could be found, to reproduce upon
paper every line, every color, every
delicate touch and shade which the ar
lists who painted the original pictures
had exhibited upon canvas. In this
they have been phenomenally success
full, for when framed under glass, even
a connesieur would promptly pro-
nounce them paintings from the easel
of great master.

is landscape, an autumnal scene,
where the fidelity with which nature is
reproduced is an evidence of the artists
genius and his appreciation of the
truth of the old maxim that Nature is
the artists standard and Truth his
chief end.
The other is a half-length, drapped
figure of beautiful young girl where
the artist has not merely reproduced
those features of what must have been
a marvellous model, but has included
minutae which would escape the gen
erality, giving an idealization of
astounding perfection.
The pictures are of uniform size, %
inches by 80 inches, making two mag
niicent companion pieces.
Either Of the above pictures will be
forwarded to all persons sending their
name and address, together with two
of the coupons found in one-pound
cans of Calumet Baking Powder, and
twelve two-cent stamps, to the Calumet
Baking Powder Company, Chicago.

GIVES RELIEF QUICKLY.
Regular Use of Hyomei Cures Most Stub

regular Use of HyOme1 Cures Most Stub
born Case of Catarrh.
No other medicine gives such prompt
relief as Hyonei ia the treatment of
catarrh.
The first breath of this remedy
soothes and heals the irritated and
smarting air passages, and the regular
use for few days or weeks will cure
the most stubborn case. Some of the
reports of those who have been cured
of catarrh by Hyomei read like mira
Giles.
John S. Gray, of Redmond Hills,
Pa, writes: 81 am 80 years old and
have been sufferer with catarrh in
the head for Is or 80 years. I have
doctored with many specialists and
they all told me that the disease was
incurable on account of my age. After
using Hyomei short time was great
1y benefited and can now say that l
am entirely cured. It has been six
months since l stopped using the
remedy and I still remain cured"
In nearly every town and village of
the country can now be found those
who have been cured of catarrh by
Hyomei. In Kenosha there are prob
ably over thousand people whose
health has been restored by this re.
markable treatment.
G. H. Hurd sold package after pack.
age and every one has been with his
personal guarantee to refund the
money if it did not cure. Only two
outfits have been returned and in each
instance the money was paid back
without question.
You run no risk whatever in buying
Hyomei and your word decides the
question as to whether you pay for the
remedy or not.
Can you afford to suffer longer with
catarrh when you can buy a guaran-
teed treatment on this plan? azo

out and attempted to board the train
by way of the side ladder. In his Jump

that twas impossible for him to regain
his footing. He was dragged frorn the
Pearl street crossing to the Grand ave-
nue. crossing, his body coming in con-
tact with the rough stones along the
side, the clothing was torn from his
body and great wounds were made by
the sharp rocks.
Dozens OF people who witnessed the
accident were panic stricken, expect.
ing at any moment to see the man
pulled under the wheels and crushed to
death, but he managed to keep hold on
the ladder until the trainmen, seeing
his awful plight, stopped the train and
he dropped to the ground unconscious.
He was placed in an improvised ambu-
lance and taken to the Office of DR..
William M. Farr, the surgeon of the
railway company, who had him re-
moved to his home on Park street.

He is resting as easy as could be ex-
pected today and high hopes are enter
tanned for his ultimate recovery.

Trying the rural life whirl.)
She covered box with ii usel gay,
Lined it snugly with new-mown hay,
Filled it nicely with eggs. and then
Started to look for likely hen.
Out of the flock she selected one,
And then she thought her work was done.
1t would have been, but this stubborn hen.
Stood up and cackled "Ka-doot," and then
Maud Muller came and in hurt surprise
Looked coldly into the creatures eyes;
Then tied its legs to the box. you bet
know how to make you set.''
But still it stood and worse and worse
Shrieked forth it's wrongs to the universe.
Knocked over the box with tinsel gay
And ignominiously tapped away.
Then bad boy, over the barn yard fence
Tee-heed: Say Maud, there's a difference
Tween hens. you know, and it is that
One says Ka-doot; and one Ka-dat.''
Then Maud recalled that the ugly brute
She triea to set had said "Ka-doot,''
And ever since that historic day
She bushes in an embarrassed way
To think of the bobble che made once when.
She tried to set gentleman hen.
