Kenosha Lumber Go. Seeks to Collect
Debts From The Winthrop
Harbor and Dock co.
LITTLE HOPE FOR CREDITORS.
Affairs of Defunct Company Badly Tangled
Assets VIII be Little or Nothing by
Time Settlement is Reached.
From MONDAYS Daily J

In the circuit court of Cook county
| Illinois on last Saturday afternoon the
Kenosha Lumber company of this
city asked the court to name receiver
for the Winthrop Harbor and Dock
company which owns the land on
which the village of Winthrop Harbor
is situated. The receiver has not as
yet been appointed and it is proba BILE
that long legal fight will be made
before such an appointment is made.
The Winthrop Harbor company has
been practically defunct for some time
and the condition of its finances is
such as to give the creditors little hope
of collecting the vast claims against
the company. It is claimed that the
claims against the company will
amount to more than $35O,0O0 and to
meet this vast expenditure the COM
pany has practically nothing.
Every acre of land owned by the
company in this state has been attach
ed and it is claimed that there is not
single clear tract of land held by the
company in Illinois. The property is
held in such tangled condition that it
will probably take years of litigation
to get any order out of the chaos that
exists.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars
have been expended at Winthrop
Harbor and the surrounding territory
but little remains to show for the great
expenditure.
The record title of the land is held
by one of the big Chicago trust COM
panies and it is probable that this
company will take precedence in the
settlement of the losses of the COM
pany should such settlement ever be
affected.
]. II. VanVlissengen is still at the
lead Of the company and of the yarj-
Gus industries in Winthrop Harbor,
which are said to be practically under
the one management.
Some time ago an effort was made
to force the company into bankruptcy,
but the officers made fight against
the courts of Chicago pending settle
ment. The affairs of the company will
undoubtedly be investigated by the
courts on the claim of the Kenosha
Lumber Company and it is possible
that this act will bring out some re-
port of the solvency or insolvency of
the company. The general impression
is that the company is not only in
solvent, but that it will be able to pay
but few cents on the large indebted
ness against it. 1t is possible that the
management of the company will be
Investigated and that this investiga-
ton will result in sensational results.
The Kenosha Lumber Company is
only one of many claimants against
the company in Kenosha and it is prob
able that other claims will be filed be-
fore the case comes up in court.
In the meantime the village still ex-
lists and seems to heed little the war
ring factions contesting for it. Many
of the people in the village paid ex-
orbitant prices for property there and
being unable to sell it they are forced
to remain and hope that at some future
time the Utopian dreams of VanVlis-
sengen and his associates may be car
ried out by some receiver or trustee ap-
pointed by the courts.

FIND AN OLD DEED.
Old Cemetery Deed Given in 1850 is Placed
ON Record with Register of Deeds,

Old Cemetery Deed Given in 1850 Is Placed
ON Record With Register of Deeds,
Among the old documents filed for
record recently with the Register of
Deeds is one that is of more than usual
interest. 1t is cemetery deed made
early in 1850 by ]. r. Phelps, formerly
town chairman of the village of South
port, to A. G. Northway, for the trans
fer of lot 222 in the graveyard of
Southport.
Cemetery lots at that time were not
of great value, and the old deed shows
that the plat was sold to Northway for
the small sum of three dollars. This
was one of the largest lots in the GEM
etery at the time of its sale, and none
of its size are now being sold.
The deed to the plat was held for
nearly fifty years before being re-
corded.

ANNUAL INSTALLATION.
New Officers of the Fred s. Lowell Post En-
stalled Monday Evening.

Monday night was gala night
among the members of the Fred S.
Lowell Post of the Grand Army, as it
was the night for the annual installa-
ton of officers of the Post and of the
Woman's Relief Corps. The members
of the two societies met at the Post
Hall and after the ceremonies of in
sta1latiop had been carried out So
cial evening was enjoyed. During the
evening speeches we're made by differ
ent officials of the Post, including
Commander Likes and Theodore Boy
ington. For the Corps the speeches
we're made by Mrs. Miller and Miss
Rosalie Lyman. At the conclusion of
the speech making one of the old fash
Toned army suppers was served and all
spent the evening in music and con-
versation.

parts Of the city was revived by Alder,
man Pirsch, and at his request COM
mittee was named to look into the
formation. of an ordinance to this eff
feet. The ordinance will be modelled
after one now in effect in Benton Har-
Dor, Mich, by which it is required that
property owners building walks be
forced to place the cement walks. The
doom of the board walk is sealed ~
the ordinance. It is claimed that such
an ordinance can be enforced and the
committee which will have charge of
it will see that it is presented to the
council at the soonest possible moment.
Most of the mem bers of the council
seem to be favorable to the plan.
No Increase in Paupers.
The regular monthly report of Geo.
Berns, the poor master, shows that the
coming of cold weather has had little
effect on the number of people depend
ent on the city. The prosperity that
is so noticeable in the city seems to ex-
tend to all classes and the list of de-
pendents is no longer at this time than
ii was during the warm months of the
past summer and fall. The report
shows that at the present time eleven
families with forty-two people are re-
ceiving full support from the city, and
one family with two persons are re-
ceiving part support. The poor house
has but seven inmates and nearly all
of them have been residing with the
matron for several years.
Protect Home Industries.
The council took step to protect
home industries Monday night when
an imperative order was sent to the
plumbing firm of Grassler & Geze1-
schop, of Milwaukee, at work on the
Pabst building on Milwaukee avenue,
to either pay city plumbing license
or get out of the city. This movement
was taken at the request of every
licensed plumber in the city, all hav-
ing signed the petition. The effect of
this order will be far reaching as it
will prevent out of town firms coming
INTO the CITY anu UAuClluS 4OI WOIh, DIS
the license of twenty five dollars will
make it almost impossible for any
company to do single job of work
with profit. It is probable that the
Milwaukee firm will pay the license
demanded and in the future will have
a sort of a branch Office in Kenosha
and make IN effort to secure portion
of the plumbing work in the city.

TO EXTEND SERVICE.

Postmaster to Ask for the Appointment
of New Carrier in Kenosha.
Efforts are being made to have the
mail carrier service in Kenosha ex-
tended and in the near future Post
master Frantz will send communica-
ton to the postoffice department
asking for the appointment of another
carrier.
This move has been made necessary
by the addition of large amounts of
territory to the city during the past
year. Many of these people are already
crying for free delivery and it will
be given to them as soon as possible
Howard Balm is now taking a
census of the new inhabitants of the
city and the number will undoubtedly
be sufficient to warrant the increase in
the force. Even should this fail to be
the fact Capt. Frantz states that the
Main street business has been so in
creased that the present carriers are
not able to handle the work and the
appointment of new carrier is an
absolute necessity.
The annual report of the postmaster
will not be issued until early in April
but when it is issued it will show
a remarkable increase in the business
done by the Kenosha Office and there is
little doubt but that the new carrier
will be at once appointed.
The new carrier if allowed will be
selected from the list of appointees
now in the hands of the postmaster.
These men have taken the civil service
examination some time ago and have
been on the waiting list.

RequestssFrOrn Arnold.

President B.sJ. Arnold, of the Keno
sha ElectrictRailway company, sent a
communication to the council asking
that the company have the right to
erect a temporary building on Mi1wau-
kee avenue for use as car barns and a
waiting room, pending the erection of
a larger and more commodious build
ing at some other point In the city.
Mr.. Arnold agreed that if the per-
mission was granted he would remove
the building from the streets on thirty
days notice. The request was freely
discussed and many of the aldermen
seemed to be opposed to granting the
request. The matter was finally re-
ferred to the committee on street, al.
legs and bridges with power to act.
This committee will meet with Mr..
Arnold and see if some arrangements
can not be made. 1t is probable that
the desired permit will be granted by
the committee.

fact that she made a call at Lanai on
this trip. Three of the inmates Of the

Board Of Health made its last visit to
the settlement came down on the Le-

which was a great success. 1t consist
ed of theatricals and an athletic ex-
hibition, the latter given under the di-
rection of Silas Carter, who is the lead
ing man of the settlement athletic club.
McVeigh states that the pyramid and
other work of the exhibition was as
good as he has seen anywhere.
Owing TO the fact that the last base
ball game ended in rather disagree
able manner owing to some of the de-
cisions given by the umpire, there has
been no baseball at the settlement for
some time. McVelgh hopes that mat
tiers will be Strengthened out before long
SO that the game may be resumed.

100000 KNOTS

The r. NJ. S. S. Aorangi, of the
Canadian-Australian line, which has
just arrived from Vancouver, is the
first vessel to enter Sydney under the
new mail contract between the Domin-
ion of Canada and the Commonwealth
of Australia. 1t is interesting to note
that her commander, Captain ]. D.
Sydney Phillips, and the purser of the
vessel, Mr.. F. e. Bellmaine, are The
only two officers at present employed in
the service who entered it at its in
ception in 1898. Both gentlemen Joined
the company in June, and sailed in the
r. NJ. S. S. Warrmoo on her first vny-
age to Vancouver. Captain Phillips was
then third officer, and was gradually
promoted until he attained command
of the r. M. s. S. Aorangi in August,
Warrimoo shortly afterwards. In
November, 1901 he was again appointed
to the command of the r. NJ S. S.
Aorangi, and has held it ever since.
Mr.. Bellmaine Joined the Warrimoo as
assistant purser, was appointed pur-
ser in charge about three years later,
and was transferred to r. NJ. S. S. 40
rangi with Captain Phillips in Novem-
Der, 1901. During this time forty-tive
round voyages have been made across
the Pacific by them, the distance COW
cred being upwards of 100000 knots

at Sydney on this the first voyage of
the new contract on the same date as
they sailed from Sydney on their initial
voyage.-Sydney Herald.

To the establishment of waterfronters
and people generally the S. S. Doric
arrived off port early yesterday morn
ing a full day ahead of time from San
Francisco Captain Smith brought his
vessel down in five days nineteen
hours and seven minutes which is fine
record for the vessels of that line. The
Doric left San Francisco on the after
noon of July 90 and experienced good
weather during the trip down. Moth
ing was sighted. She carries large
number of through passengers. many
of them being a number of young men
in the employ of the Government who
are on their way to Manila.

THAT FATAL NEGLECT.

A tremendous majority of the
evils in the world arise from
mere neglect. The worst dis
eases we suffer from and die of,
steal on us unawares. A bleed
ing wound, or a sudden sharp
pain, we jump to relieve either
of them in a twinkling. But a
dull feeling in the head, loss of
appetite, failure of force and
snap, a little feverishness at
night, gloom and depression a.
bout nothing in particular,
tendency to be irritable over tri-
fles, why should you be anxious
on these grounds? No doubt
they will pass off like a drift
ing cloud and you will be all
right again. We are apt to rea-
son thus, and fancy these symp-
toms to have no serious mean
ing. Unchecked and only half
understood the trouble creeps on
until it eliminates in local or
ganic disease difficult to cure.
