MISS COREY A BRIDE
Daughter Of Former Kenosha
Minister is Married to Peter
Fisher Jr., at RavensWood
KEN0SHANS AT NUPTIALS

Miss Amy Louise Corey, daughter
of the Rev. and Mrs. I. w. Corey
formerly of Kenosha, and Peter
Fisher Jr., son of Attorney and Mrs.
Peter Fisher of this city were the
contracting parties at a pretty church
wedding ceremony celebrated at the
First Baptist church at Ravenswood,
at z O'Clock Saturday evening.
In honor of the wedding the church
and the church parlors had been
deliberately decorated with palms and
autumn flowers. A large number of
guests from Kenosha, Chicago,
Ravenswood, and other cities attended
the wedding. The ceremony was
performed by the father of the bride
after the ritual of the Baptist
church. The bride was given away
by George Yu1e of this city.
Miss Corey had as her matron of
honor Mrs. Josephine Fisher Leeman
of Minneapolis, sister of the groom
while Miss Helen Theirs of Kenosha,
was the maid of honor. The bride
maids were Misses Natalie Swanson
and Lois Linthicum of Chicago, Cor
ne1ia Anderson of Milwaukee, ard
Vivian Smith of Sioux City, Iowa.
The flower girls were Olive Ward a
cousin of the bride and Miss Irene
Windsor of Kenosha. Mr.. Fishers
best man was an old college friend
Allen Ripley of Buffalo.
After the church ceremony the
ladies of the church gave reception
in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher in
the par1ors of the church at which
more than three hundred guests were
in attendance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher left later in the
evening for short honeymoon trip
after which they will come to Keno
sha to make their home. They will
reside at 900 Park avenue. Both the
bride and groom are we'll known to
Kenosha society and they will have
the heartiest congratulations of all.
More than fifty Kenosha people
went to Ravenswood Saturday even
ing to attend the ceremony.

SOX TO PLAY HERE
Famous Chicago American League
Team to Play in Kenosha
October 29
FANS PROMISED GREAT GAME


Manager Peter Breen of the Keno
sha base ball team this morning re-
ceived letter from ]. J. Callahan,
the business manager for the Chicago
White Sox, challenging the Kenosha
team for game with the famous
American League team during the
last week in October. The team will
play a post-season contest with the
National League team in Chicago,
after which it will start out on a
transforming tour of the principal
cities of the West. The Kenosha
team has made such a good showing
this season that Callahan believes
they would give the Chicago boys
hard run.
Manager Breen at once accepted
the challenge, and sent letter an
nouncing Sunday, Oct. %, as the date
for the big game. The contract will
be closed with the Chicago manage
ment today.
Breen is making an effort to have
Comiskey put Smith in the box for
the Kenosha game, and Groth will
pitch for Kenosha against him. When
Groth and Smith met in the Kenosha-
Port Washington game last year
Groth had the best of the contest in
the matter of hits and strike-outs but
Kenosha won the game. Groth be-
1ieves that with the Kenosha team
behind him he can give the American
Leaguers hard rub if he cannot de-
defeat them. Breen has arranged to
strengthen the Kenosha team by get
ting couple of outfe1ders from the
Milwaukee Associate team, but the
infe1d will remain unchanged.
The visit of the White Sox will
probably be one of the biggest ath-
1etic events in many years, and it is
expected that several thousand peo-
pie will see the game.

A NEW BREAKWATER
Naval Boards Plans for Harbor
Improvement to Reduce
the Wave Action
MANY HARB0RS WERE VISITED
Findings of the Naval Board are Now
in the Hands of the Engineer for
This District and Recon-
mendations Will be Made

Capt. w. V. Judson, government
engineer at Milwaukee, is in receipt
of copy Of the findings of the spec
ial naval board, appointed to investi-
gate the wave action of Lake Michi-
gan upon the various protected har-
bors along its shores and to report
the most feasible way of overcoming
this action. The board was made up
of Lieut.. Col. William H. Bixby, Mai.
Lansing H. Beach, and Maj. David D.
Galliard, all of the engineering corps
Of the United States army.
REWhen ali the work recommended by
them has been completed, it is thought
that the harbors of Lake Michigan
Will be equal to any in the world, from
standpoint of resistance to the e1e-
nents. 1t is the intention to have
AL improvements in concrete, similar
to that being laid in the Milwaukee
harbor, and a special method of har-
Dor construction has been advocated,
which is practically new.
Two plans of improving the harbors
were suggested. The plans are iden-
tical in the main idea, which is to
have the mouth of the harbor en-
trance narrower than the inner basin.
In this way the waves which enter
the harbors with great momentum will
be distributed in large space and
will lose much of their destructive
power by being spread out.
Detached breakwaters making
angles with the main piers are also
recommended, and the only difference
in the two plans proposed is that one
contemplates running these break
waters clear to the shore line, while
the other provides for sections of vary
ing lengths which shall be deta ched
from shore and also from any connec-
ton with any other harbor work.
The board did not investigate the
conditions prevailing in the Mi1wau-
kee harbor, for the reason that this is
practically perfect at present, so far
as wave damage is concerned. The
harbors at Ludington, Manitowoc,
Sheboygan, Kewaunee, Racine and
Kenosha were all visited, as we're the
other lesser harbors along both the
east and west shores.
No action will be taken on the work
proposed at this time, but the findings
of the board will be embodied in the
report to congress on the necessity
for improvements to be provided for
in the next river and harbor appro-
priation.

GOES TO INDIANA
Miss Martina Erickson to Be Dean of
Women in Indiana State Normal

Miss Martina Erickson to Be Dean of
Women in Indiana State Normal
Miss Martina c. Erickson, former
assistant principal of the Kenosha
High school, and for a number of
years teacher of mathmetics in that
Institution, has been elected to the
position of Dean of Women in the In
diana State Normal school. In her
new position Miss Erickson will have
no classes and her work will be entire
1y of administrative and supervis-
ing nature. She will have more than
thousand young women under her
direct control.
The Indiana State Normal is locat-
ed at Terre Haute and is one of the
largest institutions of the kind in the
west. The position which will be oc-
cupied by Miss Erickson was created
at the last meeting of the Board of
regents at the Normal. The position
carries with it large salary.

MANY RECEIVE PENSIONS
Milwaukee Agency Pays Money to
5O,434 Persons

The Forthcoming report of the COM
missioner of pensions will show that
there are so, 434 pensioners on the
rolls who receive their pensions
through the Milwaukee pension
agency. This is an increase of only
thirty-eight over the record of a year
ago, and it affords some basis for the
prediction made by the pension off,
Gals that as result of the increasing
mortality among the veterans the
total pension list of the country will
sharply decline in the near future.
The total of the country has been
above the million mark, a slight in
crease followed the adoption of the
old age pension order because a num-
Der Of veterans accepted pensions for
age who would not submit to exam
nations to determine disability.
One of the surprising facts con-
nected with the details of the pension
report for the Milwaukee agency is,
that it shows payments to fourteen
widows of veterans of the war of
1872, forty-four pensions to survivors
OF the Mexican war, and ninety-two
to widows of Mexican war soldiers.
-Four pensions are paid to survivors
OF Indian wars, and twenty-six to
widows of soldiers of these wars. The
Spanish war has placed 812 pension
ers on the rolls of the Milwaukee
office, and 205 widows of soldiers of
that war draw pensions through this
agency.

TREATY EFFECTS KENOsHA
Russians are Sending Large Sums of
Money Home Since Close of the War

Russians are Sending Large Sums of
Money Home Since Close of the War
The treaty of Portsmouth is having
an effect in Kenosha for the reports
of the postoffice money order depart
n1ent of the local postohice show that
there IS a great amount of money be-
ing sent daily to Russia from this
city. Before the signing Of the treaty
these orders amounted to less than a
hundred dollars week, but last week
after the treaty had been signed more
than two thousand dollars was sent
from Kenosha to cities in Russia.
Among the Russians in Kenosha
the war was unpopular and they
feared that if their money was sent to
Russia it would find its way into the
war fund and this accounts for the
large increase in the orders during
the past week.
