Boarder at Home of W. HohIfeId
DeCamps With $50, Bound
for Prison Town
POLICE SEEK CLUES OF HIM
A Man Whose Name is Not Known to
the Police Alleged to Have Been
Guilty of Daring Robbery
ON Thursday Night

w. Hoh1fe1d, who resides at
boarding house at 372 Park avenue,
has reported to the police that his
room was robbed on Thursday night
and that the thief managed to get
away with money to the amount
of $50. The name of the intruder is
not known but his identity is known
to the police and every effort is being
made to locate him.
The supposed thief had been a
boarder at the house for only short
time and he had become familiar with
the other boarders. On Thursday
evening he stated to Hoh1feld, II am
going to Waupun," and with this he
left the house. Hoh1feld is now seek
ing to make his words good and in
sists that he be captured by the police
and be forced to go to the State prison
town.
The man that is being sought is
said to have been employed by one OF
the telephone companies in Kenosfa.
He came here a short time ago and
was hale fellow well met. He man
aged to get a room at the boarding
house and made himself decidedly
agreeable to the boarders. He seemed
to be man of pretty good habits and
was a general favorite with the other
people at the house.
Hohlfeld seemed to be an especial
friend and he spent quite little time
in his room. On Thursday Hoh1feld
had dropped remark that he had
quite sum of money in the house
and this is supposed to have been the
cause of the robbery. The money,
which consisted of five ten-dol1ar bills
and two silver dollars, had been left
in the trunk of Hoh1feld, and during
the early part of Thursday evening
it was taken from the trunk.
On the evening of the robbery the
man who was accused of the crime
stated that he had been feeling i'll
for some time and that he had decided
to go to the home of his mother at
Waupun and take long rest.
The chief of police as soon as he
heard of the robbery notified the
PO4ACS OuCS4S dl w duPuu u TIC
charges, but he has not as yet had
any reply from the letter. It is hardly
thought possible that the man will be
captured and it is thought he stated
that his home was at Waupun for the
sole purpose of throwing his former
friends off the scent. When he left
Kenosha he went to Chicago and it is
possible that he is still in that city

PRICES SOARING
Thanksgiving Dinners to be Decided
Luxury in Kenosha This Year

Thanksgiving Dinners to be Decided
Luxury in Kenosha This Year
Thanksgiving day this year gives
promise of being anything but an
occasion for giving thanks on the
part of the small householder, the
man who works for living or the
moderately poor, to say nothing Of
those extremely poor who have been
accustomed to the treat of rabbit
stew at the soup kitchens as means
of stimulating their gratitude.
Not only are prices soaring on
what may be called the celebrant
viands of the occasion, but the adj
junct necessities are also mounting
upward at an alarming rate. Mince-
meat will either be forsworn this
year or it will be necessary to es-
chew the apples, as the price of the
fruit has almost doubled as compared
with last years prices.
Nearly every dealer in Chicago,
on South Water street predicts that
the present prices Of all foodstuff
will be materially augmented with
out any prospect of recession until
after the winter holidays if then. In
quiries at markets for all kinds of
viands revealed an increase of from
10 per cent to Is per cent over last
year, and that present conditions
were favorable compared to what
Nigh be expected in the immediate
future.

COLLECT INHERITANCE TAX
Legatees of Large Estates in the State
of Wisconsin to Pay Revenue

Oh w 1SCOnS1m TO ray Revenue
The state of Wisconsin is preparing
to make wide campaign for the col
lection of inheritance taxes alleged
due the state, and if sustained ex-
poets to get a big revenue from
many cities.
Judge H. S. Comstock, of Madison,
special claim agent, has been looking
up the laws and penalties on the
subject and vigorous action is shortly
to be taken. 1t is said a number of
we'll known lawyers have been APP
pointed to assist in investigation.
Several big Milwaukee estates will
be among those to which the state
will give attention.
Secretary of State Houser says that
since the inheritance tax law went
into effect the custom has sprung up
of wealthy people transferring their
property on their death beds to es-
cape the tax. He says the law, how
ever provides against such contin-
gency. He adds that the inheritance
tax law will prove one of the great
sources of revenue to the state in the
future and that it will bring in from
$500, 900 to 81, 900, 900 year.

featuring Company, and Mrs. Chris
tine ParNs of 80 Lemon street. When
the announcement of the marriage

molny had been performed in Chicago
on June 10 and the bride and groom

formed by one of the ministers of that
city. They returned to Kenosha late
IN the evening and Mrs. Hopf re-
turned to her home on the north side
while her husband went to the home
OF his sister on Exchange street
where he continued to reside until
Saturday. Friends of Mr.. Hopf no
ticed that he spent quite little time
at the north side home but he passed
It OFT with laugh and no one was
any the wiser. In the meantime the
groom has been fitting up a pretty
little home on Lemon street and last
Saturday he announced his marriage
to his friends and took his wife to the
new home.
Both Mr.. Hopf and his bride are
well known in Kenosha and they will

COMES UNDER NEW Law
Newspapers Cannot Publish Reports of
Prize Winners at Card Parties

Newspapers Cannot Publish Reports of
Prize Winners at Card Parties
Newspapers of this state, in fact
other states too, have been tabooed
from publishing the results of rafles
and other games of chance, but the
law is often violated. Usually. how.
ever, publishers have been careful
and have not become involved in
trouble with the authorities.
Now comes new feature of the law.
Newspapers all over the state of Iowa
and different sections of Wisconsin
are IN receipt of1etters from postnast-
ers apprising them that the postofice
department at Washington has held
that reports of prize winners at
euchre, cinch and whist parties will
suffice under the anti-1ottery law to
exclude any newspaper from the
mails. One paper states. that its
presses were stopped one day last
week and thirty minutes delay ensued
in order to remove from its columns
statement that one of the society
women had won a cut glass prize.
While the newspapers of Kenosha
have not yet received intimation that
the publishing of prizes awarded at
card parties is violation of the law,
they are probably just as guilty as
others. Whether the Washington
postal authorities will insist on the
law in this regard being enforced re.
mains to be seen.

County Board to be Asked to
Supply Travelling Libraries
for the Rural Districts
PLAN HAS PROVED or VALUE.
Eight Libraries Could be Placed in
This County at Cost of Less Than
$4OO-Union With Racine County
is Quite a Possibility

Prominent educators about the
county have started move to secure
travelling Libraries for use il the
rural districts of the county, and if
possible the matter will be laid before
the county board at its session this
month, and the board will be asked to
make some appropriation to this end.
1t is estimated that fully two-thirds of
the people of the county outside of
Kenosha have no library privileges.
The directors of the Gilbert M. Sim
mons library in this city have not con-
fined the circulation of books to the
limits of Kenosha, but it is almost i'm
possible for the people residing many
miles from town to secure the advan-
tages of the Kenosha institution.
In many counties of the state the
travelling library system has already
been established, and it has proved a
great benefit to the people of the
counties. Of course there is consid-
cradle expense connected with the
plan, but as the state bears part Of
this expense, the remainder would not
fall heavily on the taxpayers of the
county.
Nearly ali of the school buildings in
Kenosha county have small libraries
for the use of the students, but these
libraries are largely made up of refer
ence books suitable only for use in
the school room, and the reading mat
ter that is largely seen in the homes
is that secured from the story papers
and in the daily press.
The plan that is being followed in
other counties includes the purchase
of one travelling library for each town
in the county. This library is placed
in one of the schools centrally located
and it is open for the use of all Of the
people in the neighborhood, The col
lection of books selected for each
town consists of hundred volumes
divided between history and fiction.
At the end OF each quarter the libra
ries are shifted so that the towns
have the advantage of large selec-
ton of books.
Companies in Chicago and New
York are furnishing selections of
books for the libraries at reduced
cost. It is estimated that the cost of
establishing eight libraries in this
county would be in the neighborhood
of $500, and the annual cost for the
support of the Libraries would not be
more than 5000. In some parts of the
state several of the smaller counties
have purchased the libraries to-
gether. and in this way the cost to
each county has been greatly re-
duced. The matter Of supplying trav-
cling Libraries is to be taken up by the
Racine county board this year, and
the two counties might form an ar
rangement by which these Libraries
could be installed with the least pos
sible cost. III
The esta blishment of these travel
ing libraries would mean a great deal
for the people in the rural districts of
the county,
