Executor Of the Will of the Late
W. W. Cooper Pays Widow
and Daughter $I22,27O.
ESTATE SOON TO BE SETTLED
Court Issues Order for the Pay.
ment of Large Sum to Wife aud
Daughter, and They Will Re-
ceive More From Residue.

Henry S. Cooper, executor of the
last will and testament of the late
Willis w. Cooper, has by the order of
the county court turned over to Mrs.
Anna Cooper and Maude Cooper
Beachel, wife and daughter of the de-
ceased Kenoshan, the sum of $122, 270
IN cash and securities, being portion
of their interest in the estate. The
order of the court transferring this
large sum to the two heirs was made
matter of record today.
This is not the entire amount to be
received by the widow and daughter
from the estate, as it is stated that
there will be large residue of the
estate after the settlement and this
will be divided equally between the
two ladies. The interest of Mrs.
Cooper and her daughter was largely
paid in cash, the executor having dis
posed of the stock held by Mr.. Cooper
in the Chicago-Kenosha Hosiery COM
pany. However, Mrs. Cooper and
her daughter will hold a large block
of the Kenosha Underwear company.
The estate, which is held to have
been one of the most complicated, if
not the most complicated, ever settled
in this court, will probably be settled
within the next two or three months
and the executor discharged from
/ further service.
| AT the time of the death of Mr.,
| Cooper he had scores of interests in
properties IN all parts of the United
States and when the estate was first
taken up by the courts it was feared
that large amount of these assets
OF the estate would prove to be of
little value. By careful management
the executor and the attorney for the
estate have managed to realize on
these properties so that the estate
will be nearly as large as the original
inventory. Mr.. Cooper was largely
interested in the Blact Cat Garter
company in Chicago, and nearly all
of the claims against the estate of
Mr.. Cooper have been 1iquidated, some
Of them being settled out of court.
The estate has paid to the Y.M.C.A.
of Kenosha a legacy of $1O,0 and
this added to the large sum paid to
the heirs and the residue now in the
hands of the executor will bring the
total value of the estate up to nearly
100000.
| 1t will be remembered that by the
will of the late manager of the Hosi-
! cry Works the property was to be
given to the Lawrence University
and the American Missionary society,
to be held in trust for the widow and
daughter during their lives, but the
two institutions declined to accept
the trust and the entire estate will
now revert to the two heirs.

THE state assembly has again voted
down the proposition to appropriate
a sum of money for the purpose Of
providing state exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark exposition to be held at
Portland, Ore. The amount asked for
was $40, 1000, and the excuse for killing
the measure was economy. A good
many Wisconsin manufacturers will
feel the assembly has shown penny
wise and pound foolish" tendency,
and that the result will be an injury
to the business interests of the state.

SIDE WITH THE DEFENDANTS
Jury in Justice Sturges' Court Fails to
Award Judgment to the Moos Co.

The suit Of J. and B. Moos company
of Chicago VS.. Unit and Lencioni of
this city was tried before a jury in
Justice Sturges court on Friday after
noon and verdict for the defendants
was returned by the jury. It is stated
that the case will be appealed.
The Chicago company had brought
suit to collect bill of $40 from the
fruit dealers and the latter alleged
that they had paid the bill. It was
purely question between the Keno
sha and the Chicago men, one stating
that the bill had been paid and the
latter that it had not. The jury de-
cided that the bill had been paid.
The bill in question was the one over
which dispute arose on account of
which it is alleged that Unit assaulted
A. w. Greimer the agent of the
Chicago company with hammer.
Unit is now under bond pending the
trial of this case in the circuit court.

Street Assessment Committee
Decides to Seek Bids From
Out Of State Contractors
TO HAVE C OMPETITI0NIN BIDS
City Attorney States That There is Evil
dence of a Combination Among
the Wisconsin Sewer
Contractors.

The street assessment committee of
the city council has opened tight on
the so-cal1ed sewer contractors trust
and at the: meeting of the committee
on Observation-Disclosures it was decid-
ed to make an effort to secure bids
from out of. state contra ctors for the
building of the large list of sewers re-
Gently ordered by the common coun-
Gil. To this end the committee de-
cided that the.advertisements for bids
will not only be printed in the official
paper Of the city, but will also appear
in the leading engineer journals in
the countryland if the trust has not
firmly organized all the contractors
in the northwest, it lis expected that a
large number of bids will be received
for the work.
The committee:dec that it would
be impossible for the city to let con-
tracts for so large a job of work on
single bid, and if the matter is left
to the contractors in this section of
the state it is proba bic that there
would be but one bid received. Some
years ago when sKenosha had a sewer
contract to let there were from ten to
twenty bidders for the contract, but
in the last two years these contra cts
have been drag and usually the COM
mittee received but a single bid.
This fact showed clearly that the Ra-
cine and Milwaukee contractors had
entered into a combine for the better
ing of the trade and the work is being
parceled out just as the combination
sees fit.
In speaking of the matter this
morning City Attorney Slater said:
''There can be no doubt but that the
sewer contra ctors in Racine who have
had the work in Kenosha in the past
years have formed combination and
this combination is in position to
force the city to pay for the sewers
just what it decides is the proper rate.
It is impossible for us to aid ourselves
il we depend on local advertising and
we have decided to expend SIS in seek
ing bids from contra ctors in othe-
states
The contract in Kenosha will be one
of the largest to let in this section of
the state during the summer, and for
this reason it is thought that it will at
tract new contractors to the city. 1t
is understood that the Racine con-
tractors have been working this COM
bine arrangement in all of the cities
where the combine seeks contracts,
and that the plan is to put in but one
bid for the work and then force the
city council to accept it. A sewer
contractors trust maybe new thing
but the members of the committee
claim that it's work has been very ef-
fective.
The advertisements for bids provide
for the reception of bids on May Is.
The estimated.cost Of the work to be
contracted for is $4,000.

TALKS OF MEXICO.
Attorney J. Donne11y Tells of Dowie's
Reception in Mexico.


"What I consider the most striking
thing during my visit to Mexico
said Atty. J G. Donnel1y of Mi1wau-
kee, just returned from two weeks
business trip to Victoria, capitol of
the state of Tamaulipas, twas my
meeting 9Th the Rev. John Axlexan-
der Dowie at Victoria. He was in a
special car tenderd him by the presi-
dent of the Republic of Mexico, and
was received with almost royal honors
throughout the republic.
'sDowie was looking over property
there upon which he proposes to place
a colony of his followers. He has
confidence of founding city on the
eastern coast of Mexico, which in
couple of years will exceed the popu-
1ation of Zion City and will astonish
the world by it's prosperity.
"The tract that he has in view en-
braces about 100000 acres with
frontage of forty-fve miles on the
gulf coast, having two navigable
streams running on either side of it.
At the mouth of one of these streams
he has chosen the site for the Mexi-
can Zion City.
81 met Dowie and was very much
impressed with him. The impression
he made upon the Mexican officials
was marvellous to me. He seems to
have the confidence Of President
Diaz and will undoubtedly receive the
hearty cooperation of the Mexican
government in his undertaking..

Now that the city is going in for
municipal ownership, why not have a
municipal bath house? There is now
no place within the city limits where
a man can take swim in the lake
without violating the law, and for a
small sum the city could put up a
bath house somewhere along the lake
front that would be used and enjoyed
by thousands every summer.

The first play ever rendered by a
junior class of the High school was
the one act farce 'sPoor Pi11icoddy''
presented to the public Friday even
ing at the High school assembly hall
by the class of 'O6.
The event was great success and
the good audience in attendance was
well pleased throughout.

The class poem read by Belle Waldo
proved interesting, touching as it did
upon the principle events in the
history of the class thus far. The
characters were well adapted and
those taking part deserved credit.
The play was under the direction of
Miss Mou1ton to whom, for the success
of the play much credit is due.

ANOTHER RAISE.
Price of Meat to Take Another Jump
in the Near Future.

/ in the Near Future.
| Local meat dealers are alarmed over
the rapid advance in wholesale prices
that the beef trust has put upon them
during the past three weeks. The
dealers point to the fact that from tins
moment the beef inquiry by the feder-
al grand jury in Chicago was started,
the prices began to advance. They
have kept going up until now they
are from 4 to cents pound in the
carcass higher than before, which
means a raise of about half that
amount per pound on choice cuts, or
from 2 to cents pound more.
! Now the question which arises in
the minds of the local dealers is, is
the wholesale price being raised by
the trust just 10 show the grand jury
| that conditions and not desires of
packers regulate the price of meats.
One dealer said today: "We ali
felt when the federal jury started its
work that the packers would get lit
tie scared and let things ease up at
least for the present. However, they
have pursued the opposite course and
instead of lowering the price it has
gone up IN bounds until now the re-
tailers are wondering where it will
stop. The size of it is that the pack
ers are selling just as little meat as
they can and storing the rest in their
refrigerators just to make it appear
that the demand is pressing the sup
/ ply hard. The people will. Of course,
have to pay for it and bg next Monday
they will be paying from 2 to cents
a pound more than at present. hope
the jury will keep after the trust until
! it knocks few holes in it,
The present prices on the more i'm
| portant meats are:
Pork chops, 121zc.
Steaks, shoulder, 1Oc.
Round, 12Hc.
e Sirloin, 18c.
. Porter house, zoe.
Mutton chops, 121zc, 15c.
