LAST OF STATE BANK
Fixtures of Defunct Institution are Be-
ing Shipped to Illinois This
Afternoon.
KOMP FAILS TO MAKE STATEMENT

The last chapter in the history of
being written this afternoon, as the
fixtures of the bank are being re-
moved from the Calkins building and
are being shipped to one of the small
Ter Illinois cities for use in bank
there. The fixtures were the property
of the Trust company which took
charge of the affairs of the bank after
it had been closed by the State Bank
Examiners, and they have been sold
to raise funds to reimburse the COM
pany. The fixtures were as fine as
any ever set up in bank in this sec
ton of the country.
The removal of the fixtures makes
the bank building vacant, but the
lease of it is still held by the Trust
company, and it is hardly possible
that it will be surrendered. The
company is losing quite a sum of
money holding the lease of the build
ing, but this is considered one of the
assets of the bank and the company
PCOlS " lCd11AC d JULIUS IlOl11 SOlllC
prospective tenant.
In the meantime further efforts are
being made to force Frank Komp, the
former president of the bank, to settle
up the costs of the receivership and
for other bills alleged to be due to Ke-
nosha people. Attorneys have called
on Komp in Chicago and made efforts
to collect, but thus far their efforts
have not been rewarded with success.
Kornp has made no efforts to pay the
bills of the bank or of the Kenosha
Trust company, but the attorneys are
holding the receivership over his head
with the hope that they may be able
to discover some assets which will
make possible the collection of part
or all of the amounts due to the differ
ent depositors. The affairs of the
bank cannot be fully closed up until
some provision is made for the settle
nent of these claims.

THE time has come when it is the
plain duty of every representative
citizen, to accept seat in the Council
if the people in his ward desire him
to serve them in that body. Some per
picking questions must come before
the next council and the whole future
of the city depends on the way they
are handled by that body. All three
political parties will fail in their duty
to the people if they nominate any
but the very best men for the council,
and no man who has stake in and
who believes in the future of the city,
has right to refuse to accept office IL
that body if the people Of his ward
want him to serve. Some great prob
lens must be solved by the. next coun-
Gil and any man should feel honored
if the people of his ward have conf
dence enough in him to want him to
assist in their solution.

A WOMAN,s COMPLEXION.

It is rank foo1ishness to attempt to
remove sa11owness or greasiness of
the skin by the use of cosmetics, or
local treatment, as advocated by
the beauty doctors. The only safe
and sure way that a woman can i'm
prove her complexion is by purifying
and enriching the blood, which can
only be accomplished by keeping the
liver healthy and active. The liver
is the seat of disease and blood pol
luton. Green's August Flower acts
directly on the liver, c1eanses and
enriches the blood, purif1es the COM
p1exion. 1t also cures constipation,
biliousness, nervousness and in
duces refreshing sleep. A single

known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing cases of dyspepsia
and indigestion. New trial size bot

Pleasant Prairie Company Starts a
Branch Line to the SOUTHEAST
ern Part OF the Town.
WISCONSIN COMPANY is AIDING.
New Line Will Give the Pleasant Prairie
Company a Monopoly in the Town
of Pleasant 2rairie

The Pleasant Prairie Telephone
company has begun work on an ex-
tension of the lines of the company
in the town of Pleasant Prairie which
will result in the company and it's
ally the Bell company having a COM
plete monopoly of tie telephone bust
ness in the town. It will not only con-
troll the town but the builders believe
that it will interfere not little with
the plans of the Independent company
to build line between Kenosha and
the state line. The line will extend
southeast from the village of Pleasant
Prairie and will take in the farm
houses all the way between the vii
1age and the village of Russell, Ill.
From Russell the line will be extend
ed to point near Winthrop Harbor
thus giving the company an easy ac-
cess to Waukegan and points to the
south. The farmers have taken a
great interest in the line and the Of
ficials of the Pleasant Prairie COM
pany claim that the line is being
built wholly on their request. Near
ly every farmer along the right of
way of the extension has subscribed
for phone and large number of
them have applied for stock in the
company. The extensive additions
to the line will probably make it pos
sib1e for the company to increase it's
capital stock in the very near future.
The officials of the Pleasant Prairie
company state that the work is being
done entirely by the Pleasant Prairie
company but many people believe
that the Bell company is behind
the move and that this means is
being employed in order to stall any
move Of the independent companies
to get footho1d in this county. The
independent companies have agents
in different parts of the county at
tempting to arrange for lines and the
Bell people will have Pleasant Prairie
so covered with a net work of lines
that it will be impossible for the in
dependents to get footing, Added
to this the Pleasant Prairie company
has let contracts for line which will
parallel the lines of the Bristol com
pany and by the summer the company
will be serving many people who were
formerly connected with the Bristol
lines. It is claimed that even fur
Their extensions are planned and that
by the end Of the coming year the
lines of the Pleasant Prairie company
will be touching every town in the
county.

BROKE HIS LEG ].
William Jeffreys. of North Chicago, badly
Injured by Fall on an Icy walk.

William Jeffreys, a resident of the
village of North Chicago, was the
victim of an icy sidewalk in Kenosha
yesterday evening, and as result of
his injury he will probably spend
many week, if not months, in the
A1exian Brothers Hospital In Chi
cago. Jeffreys was walking along
West Main street near the corner Of
Park street when he slipped and fell.
He was unable to get up and when the
crowd that collected assisted him, it
was discovered that his right leg had
been broken just below the knee.
The man was taken to the county jail
and the city physician called to BAN
dage the wound, until he could be
sent to the A1exian Brothers. Hospital
in Chicago.
The city attorney and the chief of
police made an investigation of the
sidewalk where the accident occurred
and they claim that the sidewalk was
not in bad condition and, in fact, that
it was in better condition than many
of the walks in the city. The coating
of ice that is spread over the walks
threatens TO cause no end of trouble
before it is thawed out by the gentle
breezes OF spring. The county will
probably take care Of Jeffreys at the
hospital and make an effort to collect
for the service from the village of
North Chicago.

THERE is no need to call an extra
session of the legislature to consider
plans for the reconstruction of the
capitol The only thing the legis-
1ature could do won1d be to appoint a
committee to consider the matter and
report and since the last legislature
appointed a commission to consider
the capitol question there is no sense
in going to the expense of an extra
session merely to do the same work
over again. The Legislature must
provide the money for new capitol
and the plans made by the present
commission will have to be submitted
to the legislature to be accepted or re-
jected as the members may see fit.
That is all any committee or COM
mission which might be provided by
an extra session should be empowered
to do-draw up plans and report
and as the present commission has
had the advantage of several months
study of the question it should be al
lowed to go on and finish up the work

GOOD CHANCE FOR YOUNG WIDOW
County Agent Is Asked to Secure Wife
and Good Prospects Are Held Out.

County Agent Charles H. Conner
mann has for some time been looked
upon as the man who is to do all the
odd jobs for the County, but he was
intrusted with a matter today which
is just a little beyond the limit that he
had set for other years. Some months
ago the wife of one of the officials of
one of the towns of the County died
and that official is now looking for a
second wife. He admits that he has
tried a number of bureaus but with
out success, and in his desperation
he has appealed to the County Agent
with the hope that the agent will be
able to secure the much needed mem
Der Ct the household.
The man is said to be one of the
and there is no doubt but that he is
able to furnish first-c class home for
the lady who is willing to take his
name as the price Of her board
and keep. The man in his letter
states that he does not intend to be
particular and if the lady so desires
he is willing to allow her to make a
trial of it by acting as housekeeper
for some time.
The prospect for the bride-to-be is
an inviting one, and the man states
in his letter to the County Agent that
he has five children ranging in age
from one to thirteen years. The
children have been we'll trained and
well behaved, and it is supposed that
they will not interpose any objections
to the coming of a stepnother. Pref
erence is expressed for young widow
but if this cannot be secured the man
is willing to content himself with a
midd1e-aged lady who has never
known the joys of the married state.
The man states that he is member
of the Catholic church and is desir-
Gus of having his children brought tip
in that faith, and to this end he
would prefer a Catholic to take the
place of Ionsekeeper.
Here is a golden opportunity for the
women of Kenosha who are anxious
to live a quiet and retired life and
raise a large family.
County Agent Gonnermann didn't
really like the job offered to him, but
as the man was personal friend and
the need of a wife was so dire, he has
accepted the commission, and pros
pective wives can learn all about the
case by applying to Mr.. Gonnermann.

TO GIVE A MEMORIAL.
Senior Glass of the High School Will Leave
A Memento of school Life.

The Senior Class of the Kenosha
High School yesterday decided that
they would leave the school some
memorial of their life at the High
School, The exact nature of the
memorial has not as yet been decided
upon, but it will be in the nature of a
piece Of statuary, set of books for
the library or a picture to adorn the
walls OF the central building. Some
years ago the classes graduated from
the High School followed a similar
plan, but in recent years this plan
has been given up. It is to be hoped
that the Seniors will start a preced-
ent which will be followed by other
classes.

THE question of the selection of a
site for a naval training station was
considered in the Senate yesterday,
and Congressman Foss came in for
considerable criticism on account of
the influence he is supposed to have
exercised over the board of naval Off
GERS appointed to examine the sites
offered. Speaking of the recommends
ton made by the Board, Senator
Ouar1es said: ''Lake Bluff happens
to be in the congressional district of
Mr.. Foss, chairman of the House
committee on naval affairs, and / can
understand that the board might nat
ura11y be inclined on this account to
recommend the site, seeing that he
holds the purse strings of the navy.
Hence we contend that the selection
has not been based entirely on the
merits of the case" Senator Spooner,
in supporting the position of Senator
Quar1es also referred to Mr.. Foss' in
fuence, and remarked that "No man
can resist the hypnotism Of that
gent1eman's benignant SMILE" The
Wisconsin Senators are leading the
fight for a new commission to select a
site and if they carry their point the
Wisconsin sites offered are sure to
receive conSid era tion

honor of the birthday Of Emperor Mich

city was ablaZe with color the princi-
pal streets were gaily decorated, the
street cars, displaying flags, moved
slowly on the Nevsky and other
thoroughfares, the ships moored In the
sparkling Neya were dressed and the
churches were thronged during the
morning with officials and other per-
sons offering prayers for the emperor
and the success Of the Russian arms in
the far east, Al noon the dingy fort
ress on the banks Of the Neva fired an
imperial salute of 12l guns
In previous years It had beeen Gus
tomary for the emperor to hold grand
reception at the winter palace, but the
absence of his majesty made Il impos-
slble today. The JOY Of the officials was
Increased by promotions and decora-
lions. which were ga2etted I'm the OIL
