GIRLS MADE GOOD.
Leap Year Girls in kenosha Show
That They Improved the
Opportunity.
BIG INCREASE IN WEDDINGS
Records Show That There We're Thirty
Seven More Weddings This Year
Than Last in This County.

The leap AR girls in Kenosha can
take to themselves the palm, for in
nearly every city in the state it is re-
ported that the number of marriages
has not been affected by leap year,
but in Kenosha county there has been
such an unusual increase in the mum
Der of visits from Cupid that it mu st
be admitted that the young women
took advantage of their opportunities
and secured husbands.
The records for the year ending
December 1st have just been prepared
and they show that there were thirty
seven more weddings in Kenosha dur
ing the last twelve months than were
performed in the preceding twelve
months. Added to this big increase
many Kenosha girls have been mar
ried in other cities and twenty mar
riages of Kenosha women have taken
place in Chicago.
The statistics show that during the
year ending December 1st, 1904, there
were 292 weddings in Kenosha, while
255., This record does not in any way
approach the high water mark for
marriages in the county, but it is the
largest mum Der reported since the pas
sage of the True marriage law several
years ago. The books of the county
court show that. during the twelve
months there were 148 1icenses4 ISSUED
to adult people and six we're issued to
minors. During the preceding year
there were 126 licenses for adults and
seven for minors. An examination of
the books of the county clerk shows
that nearly every license issued was
for the marriage of people residing
within the limits of Kenosha county,
and the total number issued to foreign
brides and grooms will not exceed a
score.
The secret marriage by the court
order route is still in favor in Keno
sha, and this fact is shown by the sta
tistics. During 1904 Judge S1osson is
sued total of 1873 orders for immedi-
ate marriages, and during the preced-
ing year the court issued 120 orders.
It is noticeable fact that most of
the marriages performed on court or
ders were marriages of people residing
in cities other than Kenosha.
An examination of the certificates
returned to the register of deeds shows
that the greater number of marriages
were performed by the civil ceremony
and the priests of thei Catholic
churches had the next largest number
of weddings. The Rev. Carl Buenger,
of the German Lutheran church, and
the Rev. w. W. Stevens, of the Park
Avenue M. E. church, led the Protest
ant ministers in the work of perform
ing ceremonies.
Tn justice Of the peace method
was not popular with the brides and
grooms and less than a score of mar
riages were performed by these dig
nitaries of the Y during the year.

KINGS WIFE DESERTS HIM
Wife of Man Convicted of Rape in Ke-
nosha County, Seeks a Divorce.

Mrs. Libbie King, wife of Leroy
King, formerly of this county, who is
no serving term in the state prison
at Waupun, having been convicted on
a charge of rape, has filed suit at
Waukegan asking that she be granted
an absolute divorce from her convict
husband. Mrs. King is now residing
at small village in Lake county.
During the trial of the case in the cir
cult court Mrs. King was unusually
loyal to her husband and attended
every session of the court with him.
King was sent to prison for term Of
fourteen years.
Mrs. King has evidently given up
her loyalty to the husband, as she now
asks divorce on the grounds that her
husband is convict and not fit per-
son to have the custody Of the chill

William Harmon, of Kenosha, Held at
Fennevi11e, Mich.

Chief of Police Reino1d has re-
ceived a. letter from Justice Steadman
of Fennevi11e, Mich, stating that
William Harmon, of this city, has
been arrested in that city on serious
charge and is being held pending an
investigation of his record in Keno
sl1a. Harmon is alleged to have told
the officers of the Michigan city that
he was wanted in this city and efforts
are being made to find what charges
are against him here.
Harmon is a sou of Ted Harmon
and his relatives in Kenosha were not
aware of the fact that he had got into
trouble in the Michigan city. So far
as can be learned there are no charges
pending against the boy in this
county.

BASEBALL LEAGUE ASSURED.
Racine Expected to Join With Kenosha,
Be1oit, Oshkosh and Green Bay.

John T. Powers of Chicago, presi-
dent of the Wisconsin Baseball
league, is quoted as being highly
gratifed with the results of his efforts
in organizing clubs, claiming that the
plans for state league will certainly
be carried to successful conclusion.
Although the organization was only
perfected within month, four impor-
tant cities of the circuit have formed
companies and are planning teams
for next season. OF the other cities
the proposed circuit he has not had
the opportunity of visiting them all.
So far Oshkosh, Kenosha, Be1oit and
Green Bay are certain to be repre-
sented, while Fond du Lac, La Crosse,
Wausau, Racine and GAINESVILLE are
under consideration. Mr.. Powers
will visit La Crosse and Wausau this
week and the other cities later.
The Chicago baseba1t man says
that the proposed Fox River Valley
league has rather unsettled some of
his.plans, although he believes that
he will get Fond du Lac before long.

Rowe Wants Breakwater.

AS soon as the report was presented
Alderman Rowe began to argue for
an appropriation for the breakwater.
and moved that the council appropri-
ate $4,000 for the rebuilding of the
breakwater. The motion was not
seconded, but it brought the matter
before the council and a general dis
cussion, IN which there were some
personalities, followed.
In connection with the presentation
of the report, Alderman Anderson
stated that it was to be understood
that when the money appropriated
for the different funds was expended
the work must be stopped until the
council provided more money for the
funds.
"Breakwater Bill" Rowe would not
give up the fight for the breakwater
and moved that SO, 900 be appropriated.
Alderman Sullivan seconded the mo-
ton and the argument started again.
Alderman Head suggested that if
this large amount was to be expended
the city should get possession of the
land adjoining the breakwater, to be
used for the construction of a city
park.
The matter of injunction was then
brought up by the opponents of the
breakwater, but this bugaboo failed
to discomfort the friends of the break
water.
The breakwater motion was put to
vote and Aldermen Rowe, Sullivan
and Wells voted in the affirmative and
the motion was lost.
The adoption of the report of the
finance committee was then taken up
and passed, Alderman Rowe alone
voting in the negative
The regular resolutions for the levy
of the school tax for the Pleasant
Prairie and Somers joint districts
were passed without opposition.
Reports of Other Committees.
The reports of the other standing
committees were exceedingly tame
and referred to routine business, and
of little Importance to the general
public.

thanks to the Chicago Brass company
for the use of barn for the fire de-
partment
The resignation of Lem Vert from
the fire department was accepted and

Telephone company and Electric
Light company were on Durkee ave-
nue. and the companies were ordered
to remove them at once.
Wescott street was formally accept
ed as one of the regular thoroughfares
of the city.
Somers Street Vacated.
The old question of the vacation of
Somers street was taken up and the
ordinance providing for the vacation
of the street was passed. Aldermen
Kaufman and eraser voted against
the ordinance.
Bills to be Paid.
It was announced that arrange
ments had been made to carry the ac-
counts of the city and money will be
secured from the bank to meet all de-
mands. It was impossible to arrange
for this loan until after the annual

usual routine business the council ad-
journed.

Panama and the Canal Treaty.

President Roosevelt, taking notice of the many
attacks by critics of the administration, sent a
special message to Congress last week, calling
Heaven to witness that the American Government
had nothing whatever to do with the recent Pan
anna revolution. Says the President: II hesitate
to refer to the injurious insinuations which have
been made of completely by this government ID
the revolutionary movement in Panama. They
are as destitute of foundation as of proprlety'
The only excuse for my mentioning them is the
fear lest unthinking persons might mistake tor
acquiescence the silence of mere self-respect. l
think proper to say, therefore,, that no one con-
nected with this government had any part IN pre-
pairing, melting, OR encouraging the late reVoIu-
ton on the Isthmus of Panama, and that save
from the reports of our military officers, gwen
above, no one connected with this government
had any previous knowledge of the revolution
except such as was accessible to any person OF
ordinary intelligence who read the newspapers

CURRENT EVENTS: H DRIFT OF THINGS
AS WE SEE 1T.

The war cloud in the Far East is Just now tho
cynosure of all eyes. An armed conflict between
Japan and Russia over the territorial aggression
of the latter seems inevitable, and all the nations
of the earth are interested. Russia represents
the reactionary spirit in government-the snirit
of the Middle Ages, which accented the doctrine
of the divine right of kings and cared nothing for
uplifting the Masses. Her people are ignorant.
oppressed by unjust and primitive laws, poor and
inefficient. Already holding sway over a larger
portion of the earth's surface than any other
nation, Russia's conquest Of Japan would be- a
terrific blow to the cause of progress and civil
cation, and would probably lead to a long and ter
rible struggle between the victor and the other
Powers of Europe. The New York Outlook of
January 9th has the following editorial comment
on the situation:
"The seizure last week by Japan of the Seoul
Fusan railway, crossing two-thirds of Korea, the
assembling of the Japanese fleet ready to sail for
Korea, and the hasty purchase of foreign BATTLE
ships in England and Italy, are events which,
while they do not necessarily mean war, are dis
tinctly warlike. AS in 1895, Korea is the subject
of conflict. The Carbohydrates war nine years
ago, undertaken on account of the challenging OF
Japanese interests in Korea, meant that a small
nation, in territory and population, which had
only recently clothed itself with a modern and
popular form of government, was measuring its
apparently slender strength against the vast en-
pire of four million square miles and four hun
dred million people. To the worlds surprise, the
Japanese defeated their foe promptly, brilliantly,
decisively. The Russo-J japanese imbroglio of the
present year means that the same small but deter
mined nation of nearly a hundred and fifty thou
sand square miles and nearly fifty million people
is ready, if need be, to measure its strength
against the largest of land empires, which is also
a sea-power of no mean strength-Wlth over
eight million square miles of territory and over
a hundred and forty million people. It is a case
of David and Goliath, and it may have a similar
ending. Fer, first of all, vastness of territory IS
a decided disadvantage when one considers the
necessity for compactness in the disposition OF
soldiers and supplies. Secondly, a struggle for
Korea would be largely a s%ea-fght, and JapanS
sea-strength consists first in a splendid strategic
position geographically. next in an abundant base
of supplies Especially coal) close at hand, and
lastly in superior displacement, tonnage, speed,
equipment, and craftsmanship to the Russian
navy"
