the bride at 2 O'clock last Thursday
afternoon.
While the wedding was one of the
social events of the year in Kenosha,
the ceremony was of an informal ma

OF them former classmates Of Miss
Hannahs at the University Of Wis
consin, came to Kenosha to attend the
marriage.
In honor of the event the Hannahs
home was beautifully decorated. The
parlor in which the marriage cere-
mony was performed was .resplendent
in white and green, brides roses
mingled with srni1ax. The reception
room was done in pink roses and
snlilax, while the dining room was in
red roses and maiden hair ferns.
The wedding ceremony, which was
IN accordance with the ritual of the
Epie c5palian church, was read by the
Re Florence Buck, pastor Of the
y st Unitarian church. The bride
y as given away by her father. She
was dressed in white embroidered
chiffon and carried lilies of the val
ley. She was attended by Miss Tes-

land, Ohio, where Mr.. Jordan is now
employed as newspaper man. They
will be at home to their friends at

The marriage Of Miss Hannahs and
Mr.. Jordan is the elimination of a
romance which startedsat the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. Both the bride
and groom were. members Of the class
Of 1905 at the university. During the
last few months Mr.. Jordan has
gained considerable notoriety on ac-
count of his articles on Wisconsin
athletics, which we're published in a
New York weekly.

to Kenosha to attend the wedding,
among the number being Mrs. John
Jordan and Mr.. and Mrs. Charles

LEIk WINS HIS CASE
Police Officer Charged with Using
Undue Force Exonorated by
the Police Commission
MANY CHARGES BEING MADE.

Police Officer John Leik, the big
gest man on the police force, will be
back on his beat tonight after an en-
forced vacation Of several days. Some
days ago charges against Leik we're
filed with the police and fire COM
mission by John Kelly and at the
meeting of the commission on Thurs
day afternoon the charges we're sifted
to the bottom and as a result Leik
was exonorated and returned to the
force without even so much as a
reprimand. Leik was charged with
using undue force in his dealings with
Kelley, the specific charge being that
he struck Kelly with club. Kelley
and party Of men were standing on
one Of the Main street corners and
when told to move on by the officer It
was alleged that Kelly did not move.
Then the trouble came.
Leik was a witness in his own be-
half and after hearing the testimony
the commissioners decided that the
officer had not exceeded his duty.
Oul1HS TIC 1dSl SIX mOnCnS the
members of the commission have been
bombarded with petty complaints
against officers and in some cases two
and three complaints have been made
against single officer. The mem
bers of the commission have given
these matters careful consideration,
but, as one of them stated this morn
ing, the time for these trivial COM
plants is passed and in the future
the time of the commissioners will
not be taken up with the considera-
ton of minor claims. The police
officers have pretty hard time to
treat every one just right bnt it is
the opinion that the officers are try
ing to do their best.
Leik has been a good man on the
force and his fellows at the police
office were glad when they heard of
his exonoration.

North Western Railway Company
Finally Agrees to Paving Of w.
Main Street Next Spring
GARDNER NOTIFIES GoRMAN
Company Asks That the City Grant
Right of Way Across Grand Avenue
and When This is Done Paving
Will Go Forward


The fight to secure the paving of
West Main street, from Grand avenue
to Prairie avenue, seems to have been
won, as Mayor German this morning
received a letter from w. "A. Gardner,
the vice president of the company, in
which he stated in black and white
that the company would agree to pay
one-half the cost Of the paving. In
return the company IS to receive a
consideration from the city in the way
of the granting of a right Of way for a
track over Grand avenue.
Mayor German and City Attorney
Slater have been lighting for this con-
tract for the past three months, and it
now appears that there is nothing to
stop the paving of the street. The
favor asked by the company is con-
sidered small one in consideration
of the great benefits to the city from
the paving Of the street. The letter
from Vice President Gardner is per-
sonal one to the mayor and is as fol-
lows:
Chicago, February /, 1906
Dear Sir:-In connection with the
consideration of an ordinance for side
tracks across Grand avenue, and an
additional track across Middle street,
in order to enable us to utilize some
property purchased this fall for addi-
tiona1 team track facilities to serve
your community, assuming that you
will see no objections to the granting
Of this privilege, our company will not
in any way contest the paving of w.
Main street with brick from Prairie
avenue to Grand avenue, and we will
pay for one-half of this Improvement
on the basis of the estimate, submitted
by Mr.. r. H. Moth, your city engin-
eer, last November; the total amount
based on a roadway thirty feet in
width being $27, 1000. In addition to
this there is some 81, 500 or 1000 to
be expended for paving directly
around our passenger station, for
which our company will, of course,
assume the entire expense.
If this ordinance fails to pass, our
comp any reserve the right to wi+h~
draw this proffer.
Respectfully yours,
w. A. GARDNER.

W. H. Wilson, Of Chicago, Said
to Be Wealthy, Disappears
From Kenosha
WANTED 70 co TO ROCKFORD
He Arrived in Kenoaha too Late to
Catch the Train and Tits Possible
That He Started to Walk
the Long Distance

Detectives John T. lowering and
Mason I. Finch of Chicago were in
Kenosha this morning seeking to find
some trace Of William Ell. Wilson, said
to be a broker Of Chicago, who disap-
peared from here Thursday night.
There is some deep mystery in con-
nection as the detectives are fighting
shy of regular police officers and they
declined to give ont any exact infor-
nation in regard to the missing man.
1t seems, however, chat Wilson is de-
mented and it is claimed that he re-
Gently escaped from a sanitarium at
Lake Geneva.
Wilson came to Kenosha. thursday
night on the train reaching here at
o'clock and stated to one of the men
at the railway stations that he was
going to Rockford. He was told that
the train to Rockfordghad left several
hours earlier and he at once became
very demonstrative andl some of the
things which he said insregard to the
railway company would anot appear
well in print.
Two hours after sWilsonsarrived in
the city the detectives came but they
were not able TO find any trace of the
man after he left the railway station
Efforts we're made7to@ nocate the man
at some of the hotels of the city but
he had not registered and so far as
could be learned mo sone answering
his description had been seen about
the hotels during the3 evening. Will
son, it is stated, is 90 years of age and
has been an invalid,for more than ten
years. Recently. he had become vio-
lent and for this reason he had been
sent to the sanitarium at Lake
Geneva. He had never been adiudi-
Gated insane.
The detectives seem to be of the
opinion that after Wilson found that
there was no train, or2Rockford out of
Kenosha on Thursday evening he
started to walk west along the track.
The bitter cold night would.have made
it impossible for the o1ds man to have
walked far and the detectives went
out over the track in hopes1that they
might be able to find some trace Of
him. They went out as farssas Ranney
station but returneds.without any in
formation. After the Goldman had
been in the station he was,seen pacing
up and down the platforms'oftt the sta
ton and then he started off, toward the
south, and this was thef last seen of
him.
1t is said that the missing man is
wealthy, but if this is the ,fact the
detectives had1ordersstosgive out no
statement to this effect and they
simply consented to givet5the merest
details of the disappearance Of the
man. 1t is possible that when Wilson
found that there was no train OFT of
Kenosha that he took an electric car
to Waukegan or to- Racine but evil
dence Of such action could not be
found.

GET NEW Pc w Err
Officials Of Northwestern Railway
Co. Investigating Electricity
as Motive Power
FAST TRAINS ON WEST TRACK

Assistant General Manager Cantil
lion of the Chicago AID Northwestern
Railway company sent out formal
announcement on Wednesday that the
new west track of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway company
would be ready for service about the
first of July and IN this connection he
stated that the road would be used for
all Of the fast passengers and freights
of the company. This statement
would indicate that Kenosha is to
lose some of the fast trains but the
statement of Supt. Pechem is in
direct contradiction to this statement.
Mr.. Pechem, while in Kenosha a few
days ago, stated that the west line
would be used entirely for freieht
trains and that no trains would be
taken off the Kenosha run. 1t is pos
sible that with the opening of the
west track the company will put on
one fast train in each direction which
will make the run to Chicago from
Milwaukee in an hour and half but
the other trains will not be affected.
Assistant Manager Cantillion an
nounced yesterday that the North
western company was considering
the use of electricity as a motive
power and if the Investigations being
made showed that the power could be
used on the road it would probably be
adopted. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul road is now erecting
trolley poles along the line through
Kenosha county for a test of electric
power. 1t is not probable that the
Northwestern. road will make any
effort to change the power untiI after
the experiment has beer tried out by
the rival road. It is claimed, however,
that Manager Cantilliou is very much
in favor Of the electric power and it
possible that he will insist on giving
the power trial on some of the short
lines Of the Northwestern company
at once. It is claimed by electrical
experts that the power can be used
by roads now running with steam with
a great saving.
