In High Favor

One who has Investigated the subject
thoroughly declares that stenographers
have a much better chance OF winning
husbands than any other class of women
workers The demands for their serv-
ices as workers is said to be unfailing.
Thai is said to be because IL Is the gate TO
matrimony, and the ranks are constantly
being depleted to recruit wedding process
sions. For this reason the demand for wo-
men stenOgraphers continues despite the
constant turning out of new material from
the business colleges.
From the colleges and schools the stenog-
raphers come in the hundreds. They have
little difficulty in entering the Offices OF
business houses, corporations and firms.
Their predecessors have left to marry the
business man, one of his clerks, one Of
the customers with whom she dealt or
someone she has met by reason of being
in the office.
In no other line Of business, It is said,
are the matrimonial chances so good. The
stenographer has more opportunity than
any other of her sisters in other work to
come in contact with eligible men.
Qualities which help to brighten an Of
fee may do the same for a home, and
many men whose business requires their
strictest application, not leaving them time
for extended observation, discover that the
young women working in their offices
possess the attributes they would desire in
wives.
The school teacher, it is argued, may be
just as pretty and just as sweet tenn
pered as the woman engaged in any other
work, but she devoted her working hours
to children whose affection may be pleas
ant to have, but not effective so far as the
future is concerned. The stenographer, on
the other hand, is likely to produce af-
lection in men who have the ability. II
they have the inclination, to offer her a
home.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY.

the Subject Of Money Making.

1.-THE American people are extravagant,"
said b. H. Robson. president of the Bank

toward a newspaper man who was seeking
a story.
They are unwilling to submit to the rigid
economy which makes fortunes for their
business associates born on the other side
of the water or bred and trained by an
cestors who learned to husband all their
resources In the hard school of experience
In foreign lands.
Household expenditures, pleasure par
ties, junkets and culture in America mean
large drafts upon the breadwinner's purse.
The children of America require larger
sums Of money for their comfort and con-
Venience than the elders of foreign families
count necessary

goes easy. The average salaried man with
a wife and children seldom lays by any

household.
Were it not for life insurance in one
form or another the dependents of the ordi-
nary citizen would be left with little or
no resources when death calls the head OF
the household from the counting room to
the grave.
The fraternities protect hundreds of
thousands of our people from want. The
life insurance companies save the families
of other hundreds of thousands from dis
comfort, if not distress.
'The life insurance companies are the
safest, best and most profitable form of
savings institution in America. A twenty
payment policy in the Bankers Reserve Life
is not only a protection for the beneficiar-
les, but a positive, unfailing bank account
for the breadwinn himself. With it's cash
surrender values, its loan values and the
other liberal options offered by this and
kindred forms of life insurance policies
every man earning money can make sure
of saving something, while at the same
time protecting his family.

order lapse continued the president Of
the Banker Reserve Life, but 1 wish
every man in business or at work for
wages could be made to understand the i'm
portahce OF carrying a poHcy IN a company

"Our policies are as good as government
bonds. They are available assets in the
hands of the policy holders. Whether car
ried for the full term or used as collateral
or cashed up before maturity. they are
equivalent at all times to a bank account.
In sickness. financial misfortune or death
they are invaluable. 1 wish you would in
vite your readers to correspond with me
upon this subject. The newspapers do not
appreciate the Importance to the COM
munity of life insurance."

old JED PROUTY.D

That there is no villain in "Old Jed
Prouty' does not lessen, but rather
heightens the interest IN Richard Col
den's charming idyl, which will be
the attraction at the Rhode Opera
House, Sunday night, when "Old Jed
Prouty'' and the rest ION 'em" will
hold the boards-in fact no one could
breathe the same air as does 'O1d Jed"
and be villain; for from Jed's face
there is reflected spirit that is self
sacrificing, pure, and from his heart
there flows an bubbling spring OF
tenderness. In the presence Of this
kindly old man we forget our vexa-
tions, the worrying and the vanities of
this hustling, hurley-burley world,
and are quieted and charmed not only
by his infectious smiles, but by the
bright influence Of his quiet, and sat
isfed contentment. In fact, Old Jed
and the rest ION 'em'' do not seem
STACEY, but to many who have seen
them, are real, living, human. That
this engagement will meet with success
there scarcely seems to be doubt.

BEssENIUs KILLED AT FRISCO.
Well Known Resident OF North Side Said
to Have Been Murdered by Footpads.

Well Known Resident OF North Side said
to Have Been Murdered by Footpads.
kilograms have been received In
Kenosha stating that Adam Besse Mus
formerly one of the best known resi-
dents of the North Side of the city,
vas murdered in San Francisco on
last Wednesday night The killing of
the kenosha man is supposed to have
been the work of footpads but so few
details of the crime have been received
in Kenosha that hardly anything is
known of the circumstances Of the
killing. Bessenius fell with a fracture
ed skull and is alleged to have died a
short time later at an emergency hos-
pital in San Francisco. The friends
aud relatives of Bessenius are making
every effort to secure fuller details OF
the crime and everything will be done
to see that his assailants are properly
punished.
Bessenius was sixty years Of age
and had been resident of Kenosha for
many years. He formerly owned sew
eral pieces of valuable property on the
North Side and about eight weeks ago
he sold out his property and taking his
money with him he went to San Fran
ciso with the intention of Joining a
brother who resided there. This was
the last heard of him until the tele-
gram was received stating that he had
been assaulted and killed by footpads.

some way discovered that Bessenius
had large sum of money on his
person and they followed him to rob
him and when Bessenius attempted TO
defend himself he was dubbed and
killed.
It is not known how ruuch money
the former Kenoshan had with him
when he Cleft Kenosha but it was
thought to have been in the neighbor-
hood of thousand dollars. None OF
this money was found on his person
after the murder as. the officials of the
western city have sent to Kenosha and
asked that money be sent to care for
the dead man. It is supposed that the
remains were buried at San Francisco.
Bessenius was peculiar man and sell
dom if ever confded his business
affairs to his friends IN Kenosha and
for this reason little or nothing is
known of his purpose in going to the
western coast. He is said to have left
none of hismoney in the local banks.
Bessenius has son and daughter
residing in Kenosha but as yet they
have secured none of the details of the
tragedy which resulted IN their faith
er's death.

Pleasant Prairie People Rejoice In the Big
Social Event of the Year.
Friday evening was an historic eve
ming in the village Of Pleasant Prairie
when the annual chicken pie social
was given by the members of the M.
E Church. The chicken pie supper is
as much to the citizen of Pleasant
Prairie as the Madri Gras is to the
New Orleans man or the Jahr Markt
to the Milwaukeean. The social Friday
night was the most successful ever
given in the village and the people
came from far and wide to eat of the
chicken pie and renew old friendships.
More than two hundred people sat
down about the tables and partook Of
the merrirnent that followed the serv-
irg of The annual supper. The supper
was success from every standpoint
and the ladies' of the church secured a
snug sum of money as result. More
than fifty people from Kenosha at
tended tkie supper.

WOULD HONOR PIONEERS.
Daughters Of the American Revolution
Would Change Nomenclature Of Streets

Daughters Of the American Revolution
Would CAapge Nomenclature Of Streets
The Kenosha Chapter of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution held
their first meeting of the year on Mon
day afternoon at the residence Of Miss
Lizzie Bond on Prairie avenue, and
the meeting was one of the most inter-
esting and enthusiastic ever held by
the Chapter. Regent Mrs. w. w.
Strong presided at the meeting, and
managed to instill not little enthu-
siasm into the ranks Of the mem bers.
One Of the most interesting pieces
Of work laid out for the members for
the year was \ movement to change
the nomenclature Of the streets Of the
city.
It was the opinion Of the Daughters
that the city at the present time has
many Park streets, Park Places, Park
Courts and Park avenues, and TO this
end il was suggested that the names Of
some Of these streets be changed SO as
to make them memorials to some of
the more prominent pioneers Of the
city. It was also suggested that IN
keeping with other cities, Kenosha
should show some respect to the former
Presidents Of the Union by naming
some of the streets of our city after
these men.
The adoption of the "Star Spangled
NJ
nounced to the Chapter, and the ladies
were ordered TO stand whenever this
song was sung, whether in private or
in public assemblage.
The work Of the Chapter for the COM
ing season promises to be of most in
teresting nature. The ladies will en-
gage Id the study of American history
along the lines laid down in chart
made by the late Judge Martin. The
meeting of the society will also be
made interesting by readings by Miss
Gill on forgotten Heroines.'
More interest is being taken in the
work Of the Daughters than at any
previous time in the history of the Ke-
nosha Chapter, and the Regent and
members expect the year just opening
to be the most successful in the his
tory Of the Chapter.
The practical work of the Society
will appeal to all loyal Kenoshans, and
it is to be hoped that the movements
started by the Daughters will find an
early frnitage.

INTERSTATE SEASON CLOSES

Kenosha Team Next to Last In the Fina
Statement of the League Standings
The Interstate base ball league sea-
son closed Sunday, and the final
games failed to effect the standing of
the teams in the league race. The
Sycamore team, by all odds the strong
est in the league, cantered away with
the pennant, with the Racine team two
games behind. The Racine manage
ment will probably claim the pennant
on account of the fact that the Sycas
mores played two games on other than
scheduled dates. This claim will
hardly be sustained by the league, and
the pennant will go to the Sycamore
team.
The Kenosha team finished in ninth
place, winning but seven ofthe twenty
five games played.
While the league has been failure
financially, steps have already been
taken to reorganize for next season.

Financial Associate of Former Keno
sha Banker Wants a Receiver for
K0mp Investment Company.
CHARGED WITH IRREGULARITIES
#. e. Chandler Makes Demand for Re.
ownership which May Effect Kenosha
Institution Still In KOmp's Hands

Frank S. Komp, former president of
the defunct Kenosha State Bank and
the present head of the Kenosha Trust
company is in financial troubles again
for on Saturday Fremont E. Chandler
fled in the circuit court Of Chicago a
bill asking for the appointment Of a
Receiver for the "Konp Investment
Company. The company was an
other Of the companies formed by
Komp during his career as banker in
Kenosha and it is said that number
of Kenosha people have invested mon
ey in the stock of the company. The
securities issued by the Komp Invest
ment Company figured largely in the
assets Of the Kenosha State Bank re-
Gently closed by the state bank exami-
ners and it was also a noticeable asset
of the Kenosha Trust Company which
to all intents and purposes is still do
ing business on the corner of Main
and Market Streets. No action has as
yet been taken to close up the affairs
of the Trust Company and no state
ment Of its liabilities or assets has
ever been given out. Since leaving
Kenosha it seems that Komp has given
most Of his time to the Komp Invest.
ment Co. as he has scarcely been seen
here since the bank passed into the
hands of the Bonding Company which
agreed to pay it's debts. The receiver
ship for the Komp company will in no
way effect the banks affairs as the ac-
counts have nearly all been closed and
Komp is not at the present time liable
for a single cent of the bank paper so
far as the depositors in Kenosha are
concerned. His liability was all trans
ferred to the Bonding company when
they took charge Of the affairs of the
bank and all accounts are being paid
as fast as possible.
Chandler in his application for re-
ceiver states that he was led to invest
$3.50 in the stock of the Komp Invest
ment Company through the represen-
tations of President Komp and he all
leges further that Komp has converted
the money to his own uses. No Grim
inal action has as yet been started
against Komp aud it is1possible that
the matter will be settled IL the civil
courts by the appointment Of a receiver.
The only effect that the receivership
might have in Kenosha would be on
the affairs of the Kenosha Trust Com
pany. AT the time of the failure Of
the bank it was alleged that several
small sums we're deposited with the
Trust Company but none of the cred
itors of the Trust Company have ever
asked for an accounting.
The Bonding Company which is
now completing the work of paying
up the bills of the bank through it's
officials specifically declares that the
company is IN no way pledged to the
settlement of any of the affairs of the
Kenozha Trust Company.

SECURE A NEW TEACHER.
Miss Edith Brown, of Madison, Employed
as a Teacher in the High School.

Miss Edith Brown, of Madison, Employed
as a Teacher in the High School
Miss S. Edith Brown, of Madison,
has been employed as teacher in the
KenoshaiHigh school and she has come
to the city to begin her work.
Miss Brown is we'll known among
the teachers of the state and her en-
ployment will greatly increase the
work of the Kenosha school. Miss
Brown will have charge of the science
work in the school and during the
present term she will also take charge
of few classes in English. Her other
work will cover the classes in physical
geography and in the spring term she
will have charge Of the botany and
physiology. The employment of Miss
Brown has bee n made absolutely nee
sssary on account Of the great adj
vance in the attendance of the High
school. Already 210 scholars have en-
tered and it was found impossible for
the former corps of teachers to do the
work. Miss Brown is a graduate Of
the university OF WISCONSIN dEc mas
been employed as teacher in the
schools of Eau Claire for the past six
years.
By her coming the classes in the
High school have been re-arranged SO
as to allow the school to offer to the
students Of the school full four years
course in German. This course will
not be required Of the students but II
will be elective. BY this plan the stu
dents Of the Kenosha school will be
given a chance to secure as much Ger
man as is given in any High school in
the state. The number Of teachers IN
the High school is now larger thar
ever before, there being nine regular
teachers employed for the High school
work.
