FOR TOWN IMPROVEMENTS.

Mayor Corddry and Council
man w. ID. St-aughn went to
Annapolis this week with a
well-signed petition, asking our
members of the Legislature to
introduce an ..ct authorizing
the town of Snow Hill to issue
bonds to the amount of fifteen
thousand dollars for the pur-
pose of improving the streets
of Snow Hill.
Never was there such a una
nimity of sentiment among the
taxpayers of this town for any
one thing as has been manifest
ed by them in this movement,
and it is safe to say that it re-
ceives the endorsement of more
than ninety per cent. of the
taxpayers. There has been
much adverse criticism of our
streets by strangers, who from
time to time come to Snow Hill.
and there is no doubt this has
deferred people from taking up
their abode here. The only
question with us is, have the
authorities asked for enough
money: Fifteen thousand dol
lars will not go far in building
first-class streets, and our city
fathers should do the work in
such a manner that it will not
have to be done over i'm a few
years.

Mrs. Michael COffie Who Had Been
Searching Many Months Finds Her
Husband in KenOsha. d
MAY BE TAKEN BACK TO CHICAGO
wife Claims That Husband Abandoned Her
and Managed to Keep Secret His Abode
For More Than Eighteen Months.

After searching for more thar
eighteen months for her husband
who abandoned her, Mrs. Michae
Coffie was rewarded for her search
when the missing man was located
Friday by Chief Reino1d and Police
Officer Hansen Of this city. He was
found working as a brick mason al
the Kemper Hall grounds, and it is
expected that he will be arrested an6
sent to Chicago to answer a charge OF
wife desertion.
Coffie is we'll known and well LIKED
among the brick masons of the city
and the discovery of the secret con.
nected with his life caused quite a
little comment among the workers al
this trade in Kenosha.
Mrs. Coffie came to Kenosha early
Friday morning and started out on a
still hunt for her husband. She knew
that he had friends here and she Wis
tied nearly all of them but could elicit
nothing that would aid her in her
search. Then she went to the police
and told her story. She stated that
her husband had left their home in
Chicago year and half ago, and
that since that time she had not been
able to find even the slightest clue to
his whereabouts. She alleged that
she had employed detectives to look
for the man, but that their efforts had
been unreWarded.
A short time ago Mrs. Coffie re-
ceived a letter from friend at Wau-
kegan, stating that her husband had
been living in that city, and she at
once went to Waukegan and was cha
grined to discover that he had left for
Wisconsin a few days before she ar
rived. She returned to her home and
later decided that she could find him
in Kenosha. Chief Reino1d and his
assistant had little trouble in locating
Cofie, and the man made no effort to
deny his identity,
The Chicago police were notified
that the man had been located in Ke-
nosha, and it is expected that they
will come here for him this afternoon.
Coffie has been in Kenosha for about
month, and during that time he has
borne good reputation and is a hard
working man.

KEHLOR TO RETIRE.
District Deputy of EIks Organization
Declines to Accept Re.appOint-
ment From New Officials,
HIS GOOD WORK FOR THE ORDER.

District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler
John M. Keh1or who has been leader
in the work of the E1ks order in
Wisconsin during the past year is to
retire from Office as soon as his sue
cessor can be appointed. Mr.. Kehlor
returned home from the meeting of
the Grand Lodge last night and on
his return he notified the newly elected
Grand Exalted Ruler of the order
that he would not accept reappoint-
ment to his office under any condition.
The new official had offered the office
to Mr.. Keh1or but the Kenosha man
could not see his way clear to give his
time to the work Of the order for
another year. The Kenosha District
Deputy has won fame as an Elk
worker in all parts of the state and
short time ago was named as the most
popular Elk in Wisconsin. Since his
appointment to the office of District
Deputy he has done much to advance
the work of the order in Wisconsin
and the result of the work is shown
by the fact that many of the dead
lodges of the order have been revived
and several new lodges have been
installed.
Mr.. Keh1or has also done much to
secure better enforcement of the
laws of the order in the subordinate
lodges and his report to the national
lodge of the order is one of the best
ever made by a district deputy.
The vacancy caused by the retire
ment of Mr.. Keh1or will open the way
for struggle among the Past Exalted
Rulers in the eastern district of the
state.
Among the candidates that have
already been proposed for the office
are John Donavan, of Milwaukee;
John w. Owen, of Racine, and Otis
L. Trenary, of Kenosha.
The appointment will probably be
made in the very near future.

School Commissioner YuIe Orders
Wall OF New School Torn Down
on Account OF Inferior Brick
MAY DELAY WORK ON BUILDING.
Board Made Special Contract for the Brick
SO the Contractor Cannot be Blamed
for the Trouble.

| School Commissioner John I. Yule
this morning ordered Stewart & Peters
the contractors for the new Durkee
school to tear down small portion of
the walls of the building now erected.
The order was given on account of
| the fact that the brick which is being
used for the walls is in the decision of
the commissioner not in keeping with
| the demands of the contract made by
| the Board of Education and for this
reason the blame for the trouble rests
in no way on the contractors.
The work of building the walls had
been in progress for several days, but
it was not until this morning that the
defect in the brick was discovered and
the order issued for the work to be
stopped. The brick being used is
v1tr1fied brick and it is claimed that
the brick which has been delivered is
not equal to the sample which was
furnished by the company when the
bid was made to the Board of Educa-
ton. Mr.. Yu1e claims that the brick
is of very inferior quality.
The action of the commissioner in
ordering the walls torn down will
probably interfere seriously with the
work of the contractors and it is
probable that the work cannot be COM
p1eted in the time specified by the
contract with the board.
1t is possible that there will be a
long wrang1e between the building
committee and the company which
has the contract to supply the brick
and should this be the case the COM
pletion of the new school might be
delayed for many weeks. The con-
tractors are hoping for an early settle
ment of the difficulty. While Mr.. Yu1e
and the other members of the board
are unwilling to delay the completion
of the school they will insist that the
brick used for the walls is up to the
contract requirements in every way.
The city is putting too large sum of
money into this new building to allow
the cifcations to be altered in even
the slightest way even if the work is
delayed little.
