comment of the AthenaeOum boys OF
Whitman on the reception rendered
them by the Libethrean society Satur-
day night. Association hall which has
been prettily decorated by the girls

of the two societies.
The first contest was one worthy
of the literary minds assembled each
being required to construct a yarn on
paper from a dozen jaw breaking poly
syllables arranged heterOgeneOusly on
a slip of paper. The masterpieces
when read created much mirth. Pro-
gressive tops was next on the program.
OrVille Edwards won first prize in this
intricate game while Elmer Gross was
adjudged to have spun the best yarn.
Dainty refreshments were served in
charming style by the hostesses and
the boys reluctantly left at a late hour.

$4,000 PRICE OF BROKEN HEART
Clinton, Iowa, Girl Sues Father of
Family for Breach of Promise.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Can a married
man be sued successfully for a breach
of promise to wed? This is the ques-
ton that the Chicago courts will
soon be called upon to decide in a
suit filed in the circuit court against
Alfred VintOn Martin, wealthy resi-
dent of kenilWOrth. Mr.. Martin is
married and has a wife and five
daughters. The complainant is Miss
Mamie Matthews, who charges him
with failing to keep a promise to mar
ry her, and wants $4,000 to soothe
her wounded heart.
Mr.. Martin resides in one of the
suburb and is said to possess wealth
to the amount of $150,00O. He is
about so years of age, while Miss
Matthews says she is but 20. At first
Mr.. Martin. it is said, started out to
be a father to the young woman;
but at the last place where she is
known to have lived, in a fiat at 300
Groveland avenue, Mr.. Martin was
known as Uncle" Now comes the
suit for breach of promise.
The story of love. according to Miss
Matthews, began in 1901, at her sis
ter's home in Hyde park. She had
been i'll, and Mr.. Martin became a reg
ular caller. He took her to New York
as his daughter paying all expenses.
While there, the girl says, he asked
her to become his wife. Later there
We're trips to South Haven, Mich.
and various other resorts and water
ing places, to all of which Mr.. Martin
paved the way with his lavish purse
His letters begin with such endear-
ing titles as My dear daughter" and
ITO the sweetest girl in the world"
and each is signed Mr.. Martin
Miss Matthews, who is remarkably
pretty, formerly lived in Clinton, 10
wa, where her mother now resides.

GET MANY PICTURES.
Display of Photographs at the Reunion of
High School Association to be Feature.


President F. H. Lyman of the Ke-
nosha High School Association, is
receiving large number of photo
graphs of former Kenosha students of
the High School, for the display that
will be made during the reunion to be
held in June, and it is now assured
that the display of photographs will
be one of the chief features of the re-
union. Mrs. S. D. Hastings of Green
Bay has sent to Mr.. Lyman splendid
collection of the pictures of former
students and other members of the as
ISOLATION have made noteworthy con-
tributions.
One of the most interesting of the
groups to be displayed will be group
of Kenosha boys who served with
honor in the war of the rebellion.
These will be the old war time pictures
and the group will contain half dozen
pictures.
President Lyman is receiving a
large number of responses to the invi-
tations sent out a few days ago and
feels certain that the attendance at
the reunion will reach the three hum
dred mark.

Officers NewhOuse and Stevens Find
Suit of WOmans Clothes on the
BreakWater Near Band Stand.
NO CLUE FOUND TO THE OWNER.
Clothes Evidently Belonged to Some One
In Good circumstances but no Missing
People Reported to the Police.

Late yesterday afternoon Officers
Newhouse and Stevens, of the police
force, found on the breakwater just off
Eichelman park, a suit of women's
clothes and it is thought that the find
tells the story of suicide.
The clothing had been laid down
along the breakwater, and it they had
been marked, all marks had been
erased before they we're discarded by
the owner The clothing consisted of
a red WOODEN cap, blue serge walking
skirt, black silk petticoat, blue silk
of open work hose.
The clothes are supposed to have
been left on the breakwater some time
Tuesday night or Wednesday morning
but the report of the find was not
brought to the police until late yester-
day afternoon. The clothing was taken
to the police Office and some effort is
being made to locate the owner.
The people in the neignborhood
where the clothing was found, can
give no clue to the owner, and no one
was seen in the neighborhood of the
breakwater on Tuesday night. It is
evident that the clothes belonged to
one of the middle class, as the clothes
are nearly new and are neat and clean.
They could not have been on the
breakwater for more than a few hours.
There has been no report to the po-
lice of any missing people, and for this
reason the officers have no clue on
which to work IN discovering the ow-
nership of the garments. They will
be kept at the police Office and the Off
GERS will be glad to show them to any
one who may have any information
which would lead to the discovery of
the owner.
From the appearance of the clothing
it is evident that it was worn a short
time before it was laid aside on the
breakwater, and this fact seems TO
make the proof of suicide more sub
stantia1. The waist and underc1othing
were not found anywhere along the
beach, although the officers spent some
time making search for them. The
red cap should make it possible for the
clothing to be easily identified.

Christian Hall, Arrested in Kenosha
This Morning, Charged With
Wholesale Bicycle ThieSing.
WORKED TRADE IN MANY TIES.
Sheriff's Force Claims That Hall Has
Worked in Kenosha. Racine, Zion
City and Waukegan.

Shortly after eight O'Clock this
morning Chris Jensen, of the sheriff
Office, placed under arrest Christian
Hall, a mild eyed man of twenty-five
years, who is said to be one of the most
daring thieves ever captured IA this
part of the state. 1t is alleged by the
officers that Hall is an expert bicycle
thief and they believe that within a
few days they will be able to show
that the man now in the county Jail
has been responsible for wholesale
robberies in the bicycle line.
It is asserted that during the past
few weeks he has stolen fifty or sixty
wheels and has disposed of them by
shipping them to Chicago and in
pawning them in surrounding cities.
At the time of his arrest the sheriff Sc
cured two wheels, one of which had
been pawned at hotel where Hall had
been stopping and another had been
left at the Henderson repair shop for
repair. 1t is claimed by the officers
that both of the wheels were taken
from Racine parties and for this rea-
son Hall was taken back to Racine
this afternoon for trial.
The officials claim that the work of
Hall has been of most extensive ma
ture. He originally came from Racine
and it is claimed that he worked ali
along the line from Racine to Wauke-
gan, doing large business in Keno
sha, Zion City, Waukegan and Racine.
It is said that he has sold number of
wheels in both Racine and Waukegan
and when he was placed under arrest
a receipt from the American Express
company showing that he had shipped
a wheel to Chicago only few days
ago was found This receipt was
made out to &c. Smith and the wheel
was consigned to III. Smith" The
officers believe that C. Smith, H.
Smith and C. Hall were all the same
party and this was simply ruse TO
get the wheels into Chicago where a
better market was to be found for their
sale.
Hall denies that he has stolen sim
gle wheel and claims that the wheels
which he sold and pawned in Kenosha
belonged to himself and friend. He
did not make any explanation of the
wheel that had been shipped to Chica-
go. Hall is also accused of making a
small "touch" at the Northwestern
hotel short time ago. He was board
ing at the house and it is alleged that
when he disappeared suit of clothes
and some other property belonging to
boarders at the house went with him.
Hall also denies this charge but it is
probable that after he has been tried
in Racine on charge Of larceny he
will be brought back to Kenosha to
stand trial for this other crime.
The sheriff's Office is very jubilant
over the capture of Hall as they regard
him as the one man who has been re-
sponsible for the disappearance of so
many bicycles in this section of the
state during the last few months.

CHECKING ACCOUNTS PAID.
KenOsha State Bank Settles With all Credit.
ors Having Open Accounts.


The work of settling up the affairs
of the Kenosha State Bank is pro-
crossing very rapidly and this morn
ing it is announced that the checking
accounts in the bank have all been
closed up, and with the exception of
four or five dollars all the depositors
have been paid in full. The checking
accounts numbered about a hundred,
but as most of the parties having these
accounts were residents of the city
there was little trouble in closing
them. Money has been set aside to
pay the balance of the accounts, and
the President and other officials of the
bank will now give their time to set
ting up the other business of the
bank. No notice has as yet beer
made of the time for the payment of
the savings accounts, but it is proba-
Bile that the work will be taken up the
first of next week. Of course Presi-
dent Komp can claim a full thirty
days notice on all these accounts, but
it is hardly expected that this claim
will be made. The certificates of de-
posit of both the bank and the Keno
sha Trust company are being called in
and paid off or settled in other ways
entirely satisfactory to the creditors of
the two institutions. In the near
time plans for opening the bank ar.
being considered, and it is said that a
number of influential business men
are considering plan to reopen the
bank. An informal meeting of these
men has been held, but nothing of
positive nature has been done. Several
of the merchants on Main street have
consented to take stock in a new COM
pany if one is organized, and one of
the promoters of the new plan stated
that it would be an easy matter for the
bank to secure twenty-five thousand
dollars to pay up its capital. If this
plan is carried out the bank will be-
come distinctly local institution, and
its management will be entirely IN the
hands of business men well known il
the city. It is possible that Mr.. Komr
will be connected with the new com
pany, but if the bank is opened along
these lines the President of the Keno
sha State Bank will not have the con
trolling stock. 1t is said that tn.
bank at Wauconda, H., will be re
opened for business on next Monday
morning, and it is possible that tn
Bank of Salem will reopen again Ii
the near future. Salem is sadly il
need of bank and some of the Salet
business men have offered to assist j
forming a new company to take ove
the Komp bank there
