WendeIin Dagenbach Files Voluntary
Petition in Bankruptcy in the
United States Court.
ECHO OF THE HERMANN FAILURE.
Liabilities Are Placed at $14,773.2O and
Assets at $4,000 Action Is Forced
by Creditors-Failure Causes Sorrow.

An echo of the failure of B. Her
mann & Co. was announced Friday
night when Wendeiin Dagenbach, the
well-known Milwaukee avenue cigar
maker, through his attorney, Norman
L. Baker, filed voluntary petition II
bankruptcy in the United Stales court
in Milwaukee. The liabilities are
placed at S14, 1890 and the assets, con
sisting entirely of real estate in Keno
sha, are placed at $4,000, half Of
which Mr.. Dagenbach claims as e0-
empt by the bankrupt law as a home
stead.
The voluptary proceedings were
forced by the creditors of Mr.. Dagen
bach and just before the voluntary
petition was filed representatives OF
the creditors had made an effort to
force the Milwaukee avenue man into
bankruptcy but there was some delay
in the matter and the attorney for
Dagenbach managed to have his
papers filed first. No receiver has as
yet been appointed but it is probable
that the Kenosha Trust company,
W hich was appointed to take charge of
the business Of 3. Hermann & Co.,
will also have charge of the Dagen-
bach business.
The failure of Wende1in Dagenbach
was the direct result of the former
financial crash. The schedule of LA
bilities shows that of the $14, 77a 20
charged against him as liabilities
SIS, 800. IS is in notes on which he had
been placed as surety for the Hermann
company. The other accounts are
small and they would not have forced
Mr.. Dagenbach into bankruptcy.
The attorneys managing the Her
mann failure had been hoping to save
something for him out of the Her
mann failure, but individual creditors
had threatened suits to collect claims
due and nothing was left for Mr..
Dagen bach but the bankruptcy law.
1t is probable that he will be able to
save homestead but the claims of the
creditors will be cut very short if such
IS the case.

keepers with the city. It is possible that
he bonds will be scheduled as liza bill
ties by the attorneys in the case. If
such is the case the liza bilities would be
increased 1000
The failure of Mr.. Dagenbach under
the circumstances has caused a great
deal of sorrow among his friends. For
he years that Mr.. Dagenbach has beer
connected with the city he has beer
very careful of his financial reputa
ton and by hard and careful work he
had managed to get together com
potency To have all swept away by
his kindness to his friends is indeed q
hard blow.
The date for thesfrst meeting of the
creditors of Mr.. Dagenba has not a
yet heen announced but it will be held
early in the new year

DURING the year ending June 80,
1902 the United States received 648,-
TAB immigrants, a larger number than
has been received in any year except
1881 and 1882. Over two thirds of
these were Italians, Russians and Hun
garians. That this great influx of
pauper labor constitutes an element of
danger to our institutions no thinking
man can deny, and the movement to
restrict immigrant and bar out the
obiectiona ble elements from our shores
is gaining ground daily. We are debt
or to Europe for the men of the north
ern races, the Germans, Danes and
Swedes, who were instrumental in
building up some of the greatest States
of the Union, our own among others,
but it is asking too much to expect us
to pay that debt by making place for
the scum of all the earth. The char
acter of the immigration has changed
and our immigration laws must be
changed to meet the new conditions.

BAN ON ENDLESS CHAIN
Postpffice Department Issues Fraud Order
Against Well Known Company.

PostQffice Department Issues Fraud Order
Against Well Known Company.
The postmaster general at Wasting
ton has directed the issuance of fraud
order against the firm known as the
tStandard Fountain Pen Company"
of New York said to be conducted by
one Henry H. Day, (which has done
considerable business also here in Ke-
nosha, where it advertised last winter
IN local papers.
The issuance Rof the order was d.
rected at the instance of the assistant
attorney general for the postofice de
partment, after complete investiga-
ton of the business of the concern, by
means of which it was discovered that
the business of the company was to
sell fountain pens for ST. and pay SIP a
week to any person who would mai
letters making similar offers to 1000
other persons.
The scheme of the promoters of the
enterprise, according to the postofice
officials, was to establish an endless
chain business which would in time re-
suit in the defrauding of number of
persons.
The business of stopping the promo
tiers of endless chain enterprises has
occupied the attention of the postofice
authorities for ssome time past and
they have been called upon often to
pass uponssthe merits of the schemes
and their chances of Escaping from
classification as fra uds.

KENosHA needs branch of the HUI.
name society, with a regularly APP
pointed agent to stand the 'friend of
every friendless beast" Instances of
extreme cruelty to animals, horses es-
peCially, are not so uncommon in our
city as most of us would like to be.
lieve. Most of them are the result
rather of carelessness aud ignorance
on the part of the drivers rather than
of downright intentional cruelty, but
the animals suffer just as much from
one as the other. 1t onght to be an
easy task for some leader in Y. M. C. A.
circles to organize humane society
among the boys and young men con-
nected with the association, and any
one taking up this work would be as
sured of substantial support and en-
couragement from the start. No man
IN his capacity as private citizen, likes
to interfere, even in cases Of extreme
cruelty, that come under his notice.
There is much unpleasant notoriety to
be faced and private prosecutions are
apt to be expensive. With we'll or
ganized society to look after the cases
when they have been reported, how
ever, few people would hesitate to take
up cases of cruelty to animals which
came to their notice and turn the cases
over to the society to be fought out in
the courts.

ACCORDING to the students of the
immigration problem there is little use
in making more stringent laws for the
regulation of immigration until the
Dominion of Canada is ready to take
some kind of joint action with the
United States. 1t is said that even
now most of those rejected at United
States ports of entry are taken to
Canada by the transportation COM
Oanies and run IN across the northern
border. 1t is extremely difficult to
regulate immigration coming in from
Canada, and until the Dominion Cover
ment is ready to cooperate with the
United States authorities more strin-
gent laws against pauper and illiterate
immigrants would be almost impossi-
BILE of enforcement.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Italians Beat a Half Starved Horse Until
Pedestrians Interfere.


Pedestrians Interfere.
Citizens walking down Wisconsin
street this morning witnessed a scene
of revolving cruelty. Two Italians
who owned horse had taken the beast
to the Henry Bros. barn for water and
the horse, weakened by exposure and
hunger, had fallen to the floor almost
dead. The men assaulted the horse with
clubs and sticks in an effort to force it
to get up, but the horse was unable to
move. The extrem cruelty of the
men appealed to passers-by and they
at once took hand in the matter and
forced the men to allow the horse to
have a breathing spell. The horse
was raw in many parts of the body
and it was evident that the owners had
treated it most cruelty.
The men at the livery barn seem to
be of the opinion that the horses weak
ness is caused by starvation. Here is
a mission for society for the proven
ton of cruelty to animals and in the
absence of such society the matter
should be looked into by the police Of
ficials.

CAPT. LEW MONT DEAD
Former Kenosha Saloon Nan Dies at His
Home in Racine After Long Illness.

Former Kenosha saloon Nan Dies at His
Home in Racine After Long Illness.
Captain Louis Hawkins Mont.
widely known in Kenosha as Capt.
Lew Mont, died at his home in Racine
just before 9 O'Clock Friday night after
a long illness from Bright's disease.
Capt. Mont had moved to Racine from
Kenosha two months ago apd had en-
gagged in the saloon business there.
Three weeks ago he was forced to give
up active business but he managed to
keep on his feet until few hours be-
fore he died.
Capt. Mont came to Kenosha some
six years ago and became quite
character in the city. He was born in
Philadelphia on Aug. 8, 1886, and dur
ing his life he had lived in nearly all
the southern states. He served for
three years in the Union army during
the war and retired with the rank
of Captain. He was hale fellow we'll
met and when he came to Keuosha he
soon became popular with the boys
about the city. He introduced the
southern idea of free lunch in Keno
sha and often the lunch which was set
up at his saloon was better than many
dinners served in the best restaurants.
During his stay in Kenosha he
opened a restaurant for workingmen,
at which meals could be secured at an
extremely low cost. These actions
made him extremely popular with this
class in the city, and his death will be
regretted by many.

The annual meeting of the directors

There was little of interest done at the
meeting. The report of the treasurer

a deficit in the funds. This was made
up by making an assessment of the

This assessment will be promptly

An Application of Blackstone.

The Blackstonian theory that every
mans house is his castle is enlarged
upon by a New Jersey jurist, who sets
up as a principle of common law that
every woman has the right to exercise
her tongue to her hearts content so
long as she remains within her own
domicile.
This ruling was the result of an ac
ton brought by Newark man to curb
his wife's somewhat unruly tongue.
The petitioner for relief complained
that the talkative lady scolded inces-
sanity, and he begged the judge to APP
ply the law that governed such fragrant
cases He was quite crushed when the
judge Informed him there was no law
to stop a Woman's tongue from vibrat-
ing in her own home. II cannot give
you any relief, said the firm but SYM
pathetic magistrate, and the poor man
sadly returned to his shrewish help
meet.
1t seems a grievous case and without
any prospect Of relief The unfortu
nate husband might lure the scolding
lady into the public highway and SO
bring her within the jurisdiction Of the
court, but it is apparent that she
knows her rights and their limitations
and will not be trapped by any such
transparent trick The New Jersey
amplification Of Blackstone must there
fore remain in full force and operation
