MISS FIELD HOME.

Miss Ida Belle Field (pianist) has
returned from her vacation and will
be at her studio in the O'Nei1 building
Monday, August p, from D to 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon, where she will be
pleased to meet her pupils and others
who wish to make arrangements for
study IN the coming year.
Miss Field has won for herself an
enviable reputation as a pianist and
instructor and has ably demonstrated
to the Kenosha public, through her
own efforts as well as those of her
pupils, her varied qualifications, and
it is to be hoped that a great many
will avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity of studying with her.
Classes in harmony and the study
of history of music are also being
formed, and the several public recit-
ais to be given during the season will
be of great benefit to the public, and,
we have no doubt, will be enjoyed by
the music-1oving people.

NO INQUEST NEEDED.
Coroner LansdoWne Will Sign
Death Certificate of Asphy,
xiated Men.
FRIENDS NOT YET LOCATED.

Coroner Frank r. Lansdowne an
nounced this morning that he would
not take any further steps to investi-
gate into the cause of the death of
John Rosciszewski and Jan Wal
ciechowski who were found dead in a
room at the Schlitz Hotel yesterday
morning, as he states that he is con-
WINGED that the men died from acct
dental causes and will sign a death
certificate to this effect. Letters we're
received from Chicago this morning
from officers of the Catholic Order of
Foresters and these letters stated that
the court of the order in Chicago could
give no information in regard to the
relatives and friends of the dead men.
Rosciszewski had formerly been a
member of one of the courts of the or
der in Chicago, but he was not in good
standing and the officials of the order
were unable to give any further in
formation in regard to him. The Of
fcers, however, told the coroner that
they would make every possible effort
to locate relatives of the man, and if
they could be found they would be
notified at once of his death.
The remains of the men are still at
the Hansen par1ors and it is probable
that they will be held for week in
order to give the relatives chance to
claim them. In speaking of the mat
ter this morning Coroner Lansdowne
said: 81 do not believe that would
be justified in putting the county to
the expense of holding an inquest in
this case, for tits SO apparent that the
men died as result of an accident
that it would be almost impossible for
jury to make any other finding.
Added to this is the fact that the
men are not known in Kenosha and
no one is interested in the further in
vestigation of the case. OF course if
any one should insist on an inquest it
would be better to hold one, but the
county will be saved large sum in
this way andI do not believe that the
friends of the deceased would be bet
ter off if the inquest was held"

Administrator Of Estate of Flora
Cooper Makes Claim Against
Willis W. Cooper.
CLAIMS HUSBAND INS0LVENT
T.. G.. Yocum Finds Large Item in Sis
ter's Estate Unaccounted For and
Asks Bondsmen to Settle.

L.G. Yocum, a brother of the late
the late Charles r. Cooper, has filed a
claim in the County court demanding
that the estate of the late Willis w.
Cooper pay to him the sum of S12,255
and interest. At a recent term of the
County court Mr.. Yocum was appoint
ed administrator de bonis non of the
estate of his sister, which had form
er1y been administered by her hus-
band, Charles F. Cooper, and in his
report to the County court he states
that there is a large portion of the
estate which cannot be located.
When Charles F. Cooper, as admin
istrator of the estate of the late Flora
Y. Cooper, made his inventory Of the
estate he charged himself with cash
to the amount of $11, $40 and an added
amount of SAILS for cash received from
the sale of farm products takenafrom
the farm owned by his deceased wife.
In his report to the court, administrat-
or de bonis non Yocum claims that
he cannot find any trace of this
money, and that thus far he has not
been able to discover any investments
made by Charles F. Cooper, as admin
istrator of the estate of Flora Y.
Cooper. At the time of the appoint
rnent of Mr.. Cooper as administrator
of the estate of his late wife, he gave
a bond for $21, 900. The sureties were
Henry S. Cooper and Willis w. Cooper.
In the report Mr.. Yocum states that
to the best of his knowledge and be-
lief the estate of the late Charles F.
Cooper is inso1vent, and for this rea-
son he asks the court to give judg-
ment against the estate of the late
Willis w. Cooper for the amount
claimed.
The claim is one of the largest ever
filed in the County court, and the un-
usual charges made by Mr.. Yocum in
his report have caused quite a sensa-
ton among the attorneys interested
in the settlement of the estate.
It was supposed that the estate of
the late Charles F. Cooper was valued
at about $40, 0GO, but it is now claimed
that Mr.. Cooper was heavily involved.
Mr.. Yocum is filing the claim for
the purpose of securing the money al
legged to be due for Ralph and Char
1otta Cooper, the minor heirs of Mrs.
Cooper. The court has as yet taken
no action on the big claim, but it will
probably be considered at the time of
the settlement of the estate.

CARE FOR THE INFIRM
"Little Sisters of the Poor'' From Mil
waukee Seek Aid in Kenosha.

"Litt1e Sisters of the Poor'' From Mil
waukee Seek Aid in Kenosha.
Two of the members of the s'Litt1e
Sisters of the Poor" of Milwaukee
were in Kenosha this afternoon seek
ing financial aid to carry on their work
of charity, and during their visit they
called on the friends of the people
from this city who are now being
cared for at the home. There are FIVE
Kenosha people who are spending
their declining years at the delightful
home offered for them by the Sisters
in Milwaukee, and the Sisters stated
that the people of Kenosha had con-
tributed literally to the support of the
institution.
The home is the most unique one Of
the kind IL Wisconsin. The Sisters
receive into the home the aged people
of the state, and they are cared for as
far as is possible without expense.
The charity is certainly one worthy of
the aid of the people of the city.

THE street pedd1ers and fakirs who
are beginning to infest the city in
large numbers, understand perfectly
that they cannot be forced to pay a
license, and they also be made
to understand that none of their i'm
pudence will be tolerated here for a
minute. Reports of the impudent
persistence of some of these gentry to
women whom they happen to find
alone at home, are becoming alto
gether too numerous of late and the
orders of Mayor German to the police
to keep the pedd1ers and fakirs on the
run as much as possible will meet
with general approval. The police
can do great deal in quiet way to
abate this nuisance, and if they are
active and persistent in following out
the mayors instructions it will not
he a great while before the city has
the name of being an unhealthy place
for pedd1ers and petty swind1ers to
frequent. A reputation of this kind
would be worth more to the city than
any amount of money that could be
collected from licenses, and now is
the time to get it.

ing of club house and site has been
selected for the house on Washington
Island. Several of the Weather men

the members of the club hope to have
house built before the close of the
present year.
There are many people in the city
who take great interest in yachting,
and these people wifi be called upon
and asked to contribute something to-
ward the success of the undertaking.
Six boats have already been enrolled
as members of the fleet, and plans
have been made for the building of
two new boats during the winter.
The officers of the club elected at
the meeting last evening are as fol-
lows:
Commodore, Bert Ferry.
Vice Commodore, Louis J. Ferry.
Secretary, Frank Jackson.
Treasurer, Peter K1eife1d.
The executive committee of the new
organization will consist of J. Rudolph

DECLINED BY PACKERS
NO END TO CHICAGOs STRIKE
Mayor Harrison Fails In His Effort to
Bring About New Peace Nego-
tiatiOns.

Chicago, Aug. 17.--Mayor Harrison
had conference with the leaders Of
The packing house strike, and then met
representatives Of the packers. Aft
er going over the situation carefully
with both sides he made the announce
ment of his failure. He summarized
the situation in these words: ''The
packers politely say NO. The strik-
ers are willing to treat for a settle
ment, but are independent"
The packers told the mayor that
work was going on in the yards not
far from up to the normal capacity,
and invited him to 60 into the yards
and test himself the truth of this state
ment. They said that the strike was
practically over so far as they were
concerned, and that there was no rea-
son why they should confer with men
no longer in their employ. They add
ed that the situation in other cities
was better than it was here.

The deadly banana skin is at work
again, and several people have had
bad falls in the last few days. Most
of the skins found on the walks are
thrown there by the people who pur-
chased the fruit from the stands along
the street, and as there is no way
careless people can be prevented from
throwing away the. banana Feelings
whenever and wherever they see fit,
the proprietors of the fruit stands
should be required to clean up after
their thought1ess customers and keep
the walks clear for considerable dis
lance on both sides of the stands.

THE Wisconsin League of Munich
palities is in favor of paying adequate
salaries to mayors and aldermen in
the hope that better men could be in
duced to accept Office. Few men are
in a position to hold Office without
sacrificing, to a greater or less extent,
their private business, and the league
advocates paying them for the time
devoted to the business of the munich
pa1ity. Unquestionab1y the league is
right in its contention that mayors
and aldermen are just as much en-
titled to receive adequate compensa-
ton for services rendered as other
public officers, but it is a great ques-
ton whether or no paying them sal
aries would have the effect of raising
the standard of public service. If the
kind of men wanted cannot be induced
to accept Office from a sense of civic
duty it is unlikely that any municipal
ity could pay high enough for their
services to make it an object for them
to hold office.

BOOMING" RECEIPTS
Practice of Postoffices That the
Head of the Department
Wants Stopped.
PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRIES
Will Be the Rule Hereafter if the Ma.
tional Chief Can Make 1t
a "Go."

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE attitude
Of the postofice department toward the
practice of purchasing stamps in large
quantities at one postofice for use on
matter mailed at other offices is off,
cially announced in a general order Of
Postmaster General Payne, just made
public. 1t is an outgroWth of recent
cases where, through the solicitation
of postmasters or otherwise, persons
or firms located in one postofice juris-
diction purchased stamps and other
postal supplies at some other Office, in
order to help swell the postal receipts
of the latter, or to boycott their home
Office.
Much Practiced in New England.
The practice has prevailed more
strongly in New England, and the de-
partment has investigated a number Of
cases carefully. The following order
requiring postmasters and their assist
ants everywhere to inquire into the
good faith of large purchases has been
issued by the postmaster general:
Won't Be Counted Hereafter.
I'm determining the gross receipts
upon which the salary of a post
master shall be based stamps, envel-
opes and postal cards, sold in large
or unusual quantities to any person to
be used in mailing matter at other
postoffices, will not be included, wheth-
er the sale be made with or without
solicitation by the postmaster.
Must Ascertain the Facts.
"When postage stamps or stamped
paper are sold in large or unusual
quantities it shall be the duty Of the
postmaster to inquire into and ascer-
tain whether or not the purchaser in
tends to use such postage stamps or
stamped paper for mailing matter in
his Office, or other offices, and the fact
shall be clearly indicated in his month
ly stock report on form 3,240 to the
third assistant postmaster general.
Penalty for the Postmaster.
upon evidence of neglect Of the
postmaster to ascertain and report
such facts he will be required to re-
fund the amount of the excess salary
and allowances he may have received
on account Of such sales"

The authorities of Zion City are
evidently thoroughly alive to the pos
sib1e consequences of any careless
ness on their part in dealing with the
threatened epidemic of smallpox, and
they are taking every possible pre-
caution to prevent the spread of the
disease either in Zion or the other
cities. The strictest quarantine has
been established, and the patients
have been removed from their homes
to an isolated hospital for treatment.
The prompt measures taken by the
Zion authorities in dealing with the
cases have done much to quiet the
fears of the health authorities in this
and other cities, who feared that the
peculiar beliefs of the followers of
DR.. Dowie in regard to medical treat
ment might result in the disease gain
ing great Roadway in Zion. The
vigilance of the local health officers
will not be relaxed in the slightest,
but there appears to be no more
dangers of the spread of the disease
from Zion than there wou1d be from
any other city.
