TELEPHONE TANGLE GROWS.
Citizens Company Gets OverbearIng and
) Wisconsin Company Takes Lead Again.

Citizens Company Gets OverbearIng and
J Wisconsin Company Takes Lead Again.
It would take a Philadelphia lawyer
to untangle the telephone situation IN
kenosha. Monday it was announced
that the rural lines had decided to con.
tract with the Citizens Telephone and
Telegraph company, and today it is
just as surely announced that all nego-
tiations with this company are off, and
the Wisconsin company is again in the
lead.
It IS claimed by the managers of the
rural lines that the Citizens company
refused to keep out of territory nov
held by the rural lines, and for this
reason there was no chance of a con.
tract between the Independent com
panies. The managers of the rural
lines also charge that the managers of
the Citizens company have refused to
make good verbal offers. In the mean
time the Wisconsin company is licking
its chops, and the manager of the COM
pany wears the smile that won't come
off.
Tomorrow seems to be the favorite
time for making contracts, but tomor.
row never comes, and it is possible
that the rural companies will never
make the contracts.

THEY DIDN'T ELOPE
Two ChicagO Children Come to Keno
sha to Marry and Meet With
Bitter Disappointment
A SMILE INSTEAD OF A LICENSE.

He was q mild looking blue eyed boy
maybe seventeen years of age and he
came to Kenosha this morning from
Chicago. With him was little girl
who might have been as old, but she
didn't lock it. The two we're evidently
in love AMI they walked hand in hand
up Market street until they came to
the court house, and then the boy went
in before the awful presence of the
man who issues the orders for we'd
dings. He idgeted about for min
ute like boy who was about to be
spanked, but finally, when his courage
had been worked up to fever heat, he
accosted the Judge of the County
Court and explained to him that he
had little girl with him. The Judge
suppose sss.s the hoy wanted permit
to work in a factory and began to ask
the usual questions. Then he discov-
cred his mistake and the boy assured
him that he was really looking for
marriage license. 1--WE can't wait any
longer" the little fellow said, "and we
heard that it was easy to get married
either in Kenosha or st. Joseph. We
came up here.' The court smiled to
himself and began to hand down de-
cision. Is was weighty one for the
little fellow who had planned to enter
the married state. It didn't cover more
than page of note paper but when
the COURT got through the boy from
Chicago discovered that it wasn't pos.
sible for anyone to marry IN Kenosha.
The Judge was even more explicit and
assured the boy that it was one of the
laws of the state of Wisconsin that a
boy must be twenty-one before he was
considered fit subject for matTimony.
The boy quailed at this but he assured
the court with a braggaat's air that he
was twenty-five. Months the court
questioned, and that was too much for
the boy. It looked for minute as if
he was going to cry, but he kept the
tears back. "Just this once Judge" he
said, tsandI spromise never to come to
yousfor another wedding license"
But the court was not to be turned
from his original decision and the last
seen of the dainty little couple they
were walking off toward the railway
station still holding hands and probab.
~ discussing the elopement that did
not e1ope. They returned to Chica go
on the afternoon train and promised
to return with the consent of their
parents.

THE COUNTY TAXES
Annual Report Of the Town Clerks
Show How the Money of the
People Will be Spent
ROADS GET APPROPRIATIONS.

County Clerk Crosby today forward
ed to Madison the annual report of
the taxes levied by the different towns
of the county for the support Of the in
situations of the town. The report is
an interesting one, on account of the
fact that it shows just how the moneys
levied from the tax payers are being
expended.
Many of the towns have made large
appropriations for the care of the roads
during the coming year, showing that
the good roads movements have had
their effect in this county.
The town Of Pleasant Prairie leads
off with an appropriation of $1,000 for
the repair of the highways, and Som
ers goes them one better with an ap.
preparation of $2,633.98. Appropria-
tons from other towns amount as fol-
lows: Brighton, $1771; Bristol, $1343.82;
Paris, $1712; Randall, $500. Wheat
land brings up the rear with an APP
preparation for road purposes of only
$54.79. Added to the regular appro-
priation from Bristol, poll tax to the
sum of $40 has been levied, and this
will be worked out on the roads. Salem
makes no appropriation for road i'm
provement, but it is understood that
the large appropriation for the Wilmot
bridge made this impossible, and the
work on the roads will be done by pri-
vate funds.
The appropriations for school pur.
poses in the towns, outside of the reg
ular county tax is as follows: Brighton
$685. 60; Bristol $1498.54 Paris $685.
IA; Pleasant Prairie $362O.73; Randall
$1417 80; Salem $25o3.o2; Somers S264O.
81; Wheatland $414.13.
The moneys appropriated for the
running expenses of the town are a
mere bagatelle in comparison with the
large sum demanded for this purpose
in the city. Several of the towns have
made no arrangements for the current
expenses, but the expenses of the
others are as follows: Brighton $500;
Bristol $500; Paris $500; Pleasant Prai-
RE $500; Randall $3.50; Somers $500.
Salem and Wheatland Town Boards
evidently expect the towns to be run
during the year without any current
expense account.
Not single town in the county
schedules an indebtedness of any kind
and the only debts returned from the
county is the $171,O0O Indebtedness of
the city.
Az examination of the report shows
that the city is paying much larger
proportionate tax than the towns
on account of the great expense of
running the various departments Of
the city government.

DR.. ADAMS TO COME
Famous New York Specialist Buys an
Interest in the PennOyer
Sanitarium.
WILL BE AN ASSOCIATE MANAGER

DIR. George T. Adams formerly of
New York and famous throughout the
country as specialist in nervous dis
eases, has purchased an interest in the
Pennoyer Sanitarium north of the city
and comes tomorrow to begin his work
as associate manager of the big health
institution. This announcement was
made at the Sanitarium this afternoon
and it has caused quite a stir in the
city. 1t is understood that Mr.. Adams
has purchased quite an extended inter
est IN the company but it is given out
that both Miss Alice Pennoyer and
Milton Pennoyer still have their in
terests.
In speaking of the matter DR.. Pen
meyer stated that it was true that DR..
Adams had purchased an interest in
the Sanitarium and that he had been
elected director and the secretary of
the company. Miss Alice Pennoyer
who was the former secretary of the
company will retire on account of i'll
health ''Dr. Adams" said DIR. Pen
meyer, twill become the associate
manager of the Sanitarium with me
and will be house superintendent. We
will both be of equal rank. l do not
think that the change will make any
difference in the Sanitarium or in the
policy of the institution for the
future"
The new physician is about forty
two years of age and for some time he
has been one of the leading physicians
IL New York. For several years he
has made speciality of the study of
nervous diseases and his success in the
treatment of such maladies has given
him fame.
Many people in the city will be sur
prised to learn that there is to be a
new stock holder in the Sanitarium is
it has for many years been the proper
ty of the Pennoyer family but DR..
Pennoyer has lost the aid of his sister
on account of her illness and he found
it necessary to secure a new helpmate
in the business.

ZERO AND CHERRY BLOSSOMS
Strange Freak of Nature Discovered at the
Home of Aid. Peter Jacobs.

Strange Freak of Nature Discovered at the
Home of Aid Peter Jacobs.
Zero weather and cherry blossoms is
a very unusual combination, but this
is the strange freak of nature that has
been discovered at the home of Alder
men Peter Jacobs on the North side.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
mercury in the tube of the thermome-
ter registered eighteen below zero
Monday, large cherry tree on the
Jacobs estate is In full bloom, and the
Alderman is presenting his friends
with pretty punches of the fragrant
flowers known to the spring time.
The tree seems to bear charmed
life, as the frost and cold seems to
have had 40 effect on the blossoms.
Keuosha botanists have thus far been
unable to offer any explanation for the
strange blossoming of the tree, but it
is probably in the class with the find
ing of growing awoerries in the
middle of December and similar freaks
of nature. The tree in full bloom has
attracted a great deal Of attention in
the neighborhood.

MERE IDLE TALK,
Independent Phone Company Mana
gers Argue for Four Hours.
Still No Agreement.
PLEASANT PRAIRIE HOLDS OUT,
Company Seems to Have Pinned it's Faith
to the Wisconsin Company-Territor-
ial Rights Sucker
(rom Wednesday Daily(.

The officials Of the three Indepen-
dent Telephone companies In the
county met for conference with the
managers of the Citizens Telephone
company at the Office of the latter
company this morning, and after four
hours of talk the meeting adjourned
without any agreement being made.
The Bristol company was represent
ed by DR.. F. E. Stevens and j. A. Row
bottom; Frank Holt and J. B. Maloney
appeared for the Pleasant Prairie COM
pany and Henry Hastings represented
the Kenosha company. Propositions
were discussed by the dozens, but
there was nothing that could be agreed
upon by the different companies.
The Bristol company was at one
time thought to be landed by the Citi-
zens company, but the contract was
not signed. The Pleasant Prairie
company row holds out, and it seems
that if this company follows the ad-
vice of its officers it will tie up with
the Wisconsin company and leave the
other companies to fight out their own
salvation.
The Citizens company has at last
made black and white propositions to
the rural comp MES, and they are
practically the same as the contracts
offered by the Wisconsin company.
Free toll in and ten cents out are the
main provisions of the contract. The
great stumbling block to the union Of
the Independent companies is found
in the fight over territorial rights.
The Pleasant Prairie company as well
as the Bristol company insisted today
that If contracts were signed with the
Citizens company that company must
agree to keep out of territory now COW
cred by the two companies. This the
Citizens company has refused to do,
and it is safe to state that no such an
agreement will be made.
The Citizens company was asked by
c. D. Holt, of the Pleasant Prairie
company, to keep out of that territory
and the managers Of the town line re-
piled by offering to keep out if Mr..
Holt would take thousand dollars of
the stock of the new company. It is
asserted that Holt's hair stood straight
up and negotiations were off until he
recovered from the shock.
In the meantime Manager Lands, of
the Wisconsin company, has in no way
given up the fight. He in standing
firm to the first proposition made to
the companies and it is possible that
the old time company will win out in
the end. There is possibility that
neither company will secure the con.
nections and that the companies out in
the county will decide to remain
neutral.
