PRAISE KENOSHACLUB
Il
Members Of the State Library Com
mission Praise the Work of the
KenOsha WOmen's Club
GOOD WORDS FOR THE LIBRARY.
Work OF Gilbert M. Simmons Library and
the Women's Club Wins Praise From
State Library Commission

The monthly bulletin of the Wiscon.
sin State Library Commission which
was issued on Saturday last will be of
more than usual interest to people of
kenosha on account of the fact that
kenosha Institutions are given several
pretty compliments by The editors of
the bulletin. The Gilbert M. Simmons
Library is highly praiss d for the work
that has been done in circulating books
among the school children of the city
and the scheme is urged as one worthy
of use in other libraries in the state
The Women's Club of Kenosha is also
given high praise for the work it has
done in aiding the younger and strug-
Cling libraries in the state. In speak
ing of the work of the Kenosha Wo-
men the editor Of the bulletin has the
following to say.
THE first of the year the Kenosha
Women's Club, through the Gilbert M.
Simmons Library, presented to the
Commission about two hundred books
to be used for small Libraries in what
ever way they found most fitting.
This collection contained many yalu-
able books Of history, travel, biogra-
ply and literature which are admir-
ably suited to the uses of study clubs.
It seemed therefore most appropriate
that these books should be divided in
to groups and sent to small Libraries
to supplement local collections not al
together adequate for service Of the
clubs. The groups are located temper
arily as travelling libraries are. The
books were made into six collections
on the following subjects: English lit
erature and history; American literat-
ure; United States History; Italy;
Rome; Greece, watch the Commission
will be glad to loan to club studying
that subject.
Twenty-Five books were left over, SO
miscellaneous in character that they
could not be associated with any Of
the Libraries. These made a perma-
nent gift ia the name of the Kenosha
Women's Club to public library,
where excellent use could be made Of
them 1t is needless to say expressions
Of appreciation have come from each
station.

Fearless Wants $4,000
for Saving the
Nevadan.

Fifteen thousand dollars is the
amount now asked by the tug Fearless
for rescuing the, Nevadan from the dan
gers of the reef just outside the harbor
where she went aground a SHORT time
ago. An amendment to the libel was
filed yesterday morning in the United
States Court in the case of J. D. Spreck-
els & Bros VS.. Nevadan, by which the
amount of salvage asked is $4,000, in
stead of $1,000 originally claimed, and
also alleging that the value of the yes
sci is $4,000 instead of $275,oOO, as first
stated.
The amount of salvage is generally
based upon the worth of the vessel saw
ed and the danger she was in, and the
filing of the amendments indicate that
the owners of the tug will claim the full
value of her services, instead of the
amount said to have been agreed upon
at the time of the disaster. The follow
ing is the amendment, filed yesterday:
Amendment to the libel of j. D.
SpreckelS & Brothers Company against
the steamship Nevadan, her tackle, ap
parel, furniture, engines, boilers, ma
boats, appurtenances and cargo
