DENIES THE MOTION
Judge BeIden Orders q Judgment
for PIaintiffin Hard Contest.
ed Insurance Suit
ELLSWORTH MUST PAY NOTE

Judge E. B. Be1den has filed an
order with the clerk of the court
finally disposing of the famous in
surance case of the Security Trust
and Life Insurance company VS..
Henry Ellsworth ct al. The suit
has been on the calendar of the cir
cult coart in this county for number
of years and at the last June term it
was decided in favor of the plaintiffs.
The Life Insurance company
brought suit to forec1ose mortgage
on a beautiful summer home owned
by Ellsworth on the banks of Twin
Lakes. It was alleged IN the COM
plant that this mortgage was given
to secure the payment of a note for
SIS, 900 which Ellsworth gave to the
company at the time he was the
general agent for the company in
Chicago. For two years the contest
ing PARTIES attempteds'to settle the
difference out of court and when
the case was finally called leading
insurance men were brought from all
parts of the country to testify. The
attorneys for the defendants made
the claim that at the time the note
was given it was understood between
the two parties that payment of itwas
to be demanded only as the money was
spent in advancing the business of
the company.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs
declared that Ellsworth had severed
his connection with the company and
the note had become due in its
entirety. This was the final decision
Of the court. The attorneys for Ellis
worth than asked to have the case re-
opened and this is the motion which
the court denied yesterday. It is
possible that the case will now be
taken to the supreme court. The
property in question is one of the
most beautiful summer homes in the
county. 49,

MAYGOTO WAUKEGAN
Franchise Interests of Chicago
and Milwaukee Railway May
Take PoWerPIant to ThatCity
LOOK WITH FAVOR ON KEN0SHA

President A. C. Frost and General
Manager Drum, of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric r. r. Co., are in
the East, placing orders for the ma
achinery for the $5OO,000 power house
which is to be erected by that COM
pany.
It is known that two locations for
the big power plant are being ser
ious1y considered. Waukegan and
Kenosha. The arguments in favor of
Waukegan are central location
nearer to large local service, ie., be-
tween Evanston and Waukegan;
center and real terminal of western
suburban service, ie., Lake county
lake regions, Lake Geneva and Rock
ford; harbor accommodations for
coal, and last but not least, Wauke-
gan streets are gold mine if Frost
can obtain 80, 40, or so year or a
forever franchise thereon.
BY building the power house in
Waukegan it is urged that the people
would be 1enient on the franchise
terms, etc.
If long time franchise is to be the
price for the power house then the
plant is not wanted, is the reply urged
by men of affairs in Waukegan. There
would be added taxes and force of
probably forty to fifty men employed
and tina city would have beautiful
plant to point out.
It is learned that the question will
be settled in a few days. Messrs.
Frost and Drum were compelled to
place orders for the special machinery
long before it was wanted on account
of the crowded condition of the big
electric works IL the east.

MUST HAVE NAMES
Postmaster General Counter
mands Order in Regard to De-
livery to Rural Boxes
VICTORY FOR OUR MERCHANTS

Postmaster John 3. Ma1oney has
received a letter from the Postmaster
General at Washington counter
handing the order recent1yssent out
by the department instructing rural
carriers that mail addressed to num-
bered boxes on rural routes must
be deliver ed to the boxes,
and in it's place an order
has been sent which demands that
mail must be addressed to the con-
signee as we'll as to the number of
the box. The order does not do away
with the numbering of the boxes as
it is held that such action will aid
the rural carriers in their work.
This sudden change in the orders
from the post Office department has
been brought about by the protests
filed by retail merchants in all parts
OF the country. These merchants
were quick to see the source of the
order to deliver mail to numbered
boxes and il is declared that this
order was procured by the mail order
L
order that they might flood the rural
districts with circulars announcing
their business. With the order that
the mail be delivered to the numbered
boxes the work of the mail order
house was easy as it would send a
circular to each box on each route
and it would not have to go to the
trouble of securing the long list of
names of the farmers. This would
in way increase the amount of busi-
ness done by the post Office depart
ment but it would work to the detri.
ment of the business of the retail
houses doing business in alt parts of
the country. The orderawas original
1y made less than two months ago and
in this time the protests have come
from every state in the. union in such
quantities that the. government has
been forced to find some way out of
the difficulty. BY demanding that
the mail be addressed to the con-
signee as well as the number of the
box the department has greatly aided
the rural carriers IN ftheir work and
at the same time the local merchants
have lost none. of their rights IN
their territories. Local merchants
in Kenosha were among the long list
protesting against the order of the
department and these men will be
glad to know that the order has been
modified.

The Register of Deeds Receives
Long Delayed Blanks from
State Health Board
MUST MAKE NEW REPORTS
Births, Deaths and Accidents Must be
Reported by the Physicians Under
Penalty of Heavy Fine.-Books
for Each Doctor

A new era is to be inaugurated IN
the keeping of the vital statistics of
Kenosha and Kenosha county as
Register of Deeds Torrey this morn
ing received from the State Health
department large package of blanks
which are to be distributed among
the physicians of the city and county.
Under heavy penalties for failing to
observe the law the physicians will be
forced to make strict reports to the
State department of every birth,
death or accident demanding their
professional services. In the past
slip shod records have been kept of
births and deaths but under the new
regime the doctors will have to go
through a large number of forms so
that the birth records of the county
will contain a complete history of
every child born. 1t will contain not
only the name of the child and its
parents but the birthplace of the
parents and of the child, the weight
of the child at birth and the number
of brothers and sisters in the family
when the child is born. The physi-
clan or midwife in charge Of every
confinement case in the county is re-
quired TO make this return to the
Register of Deeds within thirty days
after the birth of the child and if the
return is not made in that time the
doctor will be subject to arrest and to
fine of from ten to fifty dollars for
each offense. The same is true in
regard to the reporting of deaths but
the blanks for this work will remain
the same as in other years.
The reporting of accidents is new
wrinkle but the details of every acct
dent must be carefully set down SC
that the state will be advised as to the
number of accidents from different
causes. In case man is injured
while at work in factory the doctor
in charge of the case must go into de.
tail and give description of the ma.
chine on which the man was working
when injured and give all facts in re
gard to the management of the fac
tory. These statistics will be used By
the state factory inspectors in ar
effort to secure greater protection fol
wage earners of the state.
Register of Deeds Torrey has re-
ceived forty books Of each kind Of
blanks and each of them contains q
hundred sheets. One Of these books
will be given to each physician in the
county so that there can be no reason
for their failing to observe the law.
For the work of reporting the physi
clans receive a fee of twenty-five
cents for each blank filed for record
From the material furnished by the
physicians the Register of Deeds viii
render quarterly report to the State
Board.

POSTMASTERS MUST ACT
Department Insists That Immoral
Post Cards be Barred

Postmaster John B. Ma1oney has
received an order from the depart
rnent at Washington urging the ut
most scrutiny of all of the so-ca1led
souvenir postal cards sent through
the mails, and the department orders
that all that are immoral or vulgar be
removed from the mails and forward
ed to Washington to the dead letter
Office. Further, the postmaster is
given the powerto use his own dis
erection in the matter, and if he should
be in doubt he is instructed to seize
the cards and forward them to Wash
ington.
The many complaints reaching the
department on account Of the sending
of such cards has made it imperative
to make a strict Interpretation Of the
rule against this class of mail matter.

Road Has Four Track Entrances Into
Mi1waukee-Many improvements
With the completion of the addi-
tiona1 track being built by the Chica
go & North Western railroad, be-
tween Milwaukee and Chicago, that
road will have four track entrance
into Milwaukee as far as Oklahoma
avenue, and plans are under way to
request the city council for permits
sion to widen the trackage at the ave-
nue. so as to permit an extension of
the four track system is far as the
Kinnickinnic bridge, if not to the CEN
trail station itself. This additional
track will not be completed for a
year, but the officials of the road are
already making preparations to han
die the extra traffic at the Chicago end
of the system by extensive improve
ments in track elevation and other
changes at the Chicago terminal.
The new lines of the road now be-
ing built in Wyoming, from Casper
west to Lander and the Wind river
reservation, where one and one-half
million acres of public lands will be
thrown open to homestead settlement
next June, will also be rushed to early
completion.
A new line is also contemplated
from Pierre west to the Black Hills,
and several short lines in Northern
Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of
Michigan.

FEW TAKE LICENSES
Less Than Thirty Dog Owners Have
Complied With City Ordinance

Less Ihan Th1rty Dog owners Have
Complied With City Ordinance
Licenses for dogs issued in 1904 ex-
pire today and there seems to be no
great rush among the dog owners to
secure new license tags The new
tags were received by the clerk a
fortnight ago and It is understood
that the dogs must alb have the new
tags by Oct. l, but up to late today
the clerk had issued less than thirty
licenses. At present there is no dog
catcher in the employ of the city and
the owners of dogs seem to have little
to fear in regard to the enforcement
of the ordinance. -
It is probable that the council will
take some action on Monday to ap-
point a man to look after the un.
licensed dogs and if this is done the
licenses will probably move consider
ably faster. At this time last year
more than 200 tags had been sold.

CANT GET BLANKS
Register of Deeds Unable to Make Re-
ports to State Health officer

Register of Deeds P. c. Torrey has
found that it is impossible for him to
make reports to the state board of
health from this county on account of
the fact that he has been unable to
secure the blanks on which to make
the reports. On this account the
statistics of the state so far as Keno
sha is concerned are not tabulated.
The recent law enacted by the Leg
is1ature makes 1T obligatory upon the
register of deeds to send in full list
of deaths, births and accidents every
three months, but no blanks have as
yet been sent out TO make these re-
ports on. For this reason Kenosha
will not be represented in the state
statistics for the last six months.

FARMERS MUCH IN EARNEST

Dispatches from all over the cot
ton belt show that despite the I'M
usual spell of bad weather that
prevailed throughout the country
and made travelling almost impos-
sible, the farmers have held we'll
attended meetings to consider the
cotton situation. Almost every
courthouse town in the sections
where cotton is produced reports
the deliberations of these cotton
farmers, and in no case have we
yet seen where they failed to ratify
the plan proposed by the cotton
convention that assembled in New
Orleans last month. 1t is perhaps
easier now than ever before for the
cotton farmer to reduce his acre
age, and we have no doubt but that
this fact explains, to a very large
extent, the unanimity of senti-
ment and the aVowed determine
tiOn of so many farmers, to "hold,
reduce and diversity"
