CHURCHILL A BANKRUPT
North Western Agent at Winthrop
is SO Adjudicated in u. S. Court

Notices have been received in Keno
sha stating that H. o. Churchill.
agent for the Northwestern Railway
company at Winthrop Harbor and the
proprietor of the Churchill House,
a private hotel on Park avenue, has
been adjudicated a bankrupt. The
first meeting Of the creditors of the
bankrupt is to be held in the United
States court room in Milwaukee on
Feb. %.
Little is known in regard to the
amount of liabilities and assets of the
bankrupt. The Churchill House was
closed few days ago and much Of
the furniture has been taken by
furniture dealers who claimed it on
chattel mortgages. It is claimed
that the bankrupt has number of
open accounts Ia the city but the total
will probably be small.

ON A SAD MISSION no UNITE MINISTER'S
Plans Being Laid for Organization
Of Protestant Ministers in
Kenosha for Mutual Help
FOLLOW LEAD OF OTHER CITIES

Several of the ministers of Kenosha
are making quiet effort to secure an
organization among the ministers of
the city, but thus far the plan has not
met with a great deal of success. The
plan provides for union of all the
Protestant ministers of the city for a
more united fight against the powers
of.sin.o Several meetings to complete
the organization have been called
Within the last few months, but the
interest taken in these meetings has
not been sufficient to warrant . regu-
lar organization. The plan is now be-
ing brought forward again.
1t Mas been nearly five years since
there has been an org anization
among the ministers of the city. Dn-
ing the pastorate of the Rev. S. w.
Nay1or at Park Avenue M. e. church
Mr.. Naylor made an effort to organize
an effective working body anong the
ministers. His plan provided for the
ministers to take an important part in
politics and to make an effort to force
d OCltSI IQp11duCC With the laws OF
the state and city. The association
held less than half dozen meetings
and it was found that the church peo-
pie of the city did not support the
plan. The Rev. Harvey Dee Brown,
of the First Baptist church, has been
in the lead in the new effort to secure
organization among the ministers In
most cities the size of Kenosha these
organizations are of f1ourishing ma
ture. In Racine the ministers have
regular weekly meetings and it is
claimed that a great deal of good has
beenadone by their united efforts.
Z The Kenosha ministers seem to be
willing to urge reforms from the pull
pit, but few of them are willing TO
take the initiative Ia hand to hand
contest in a battle against the forces
opposed to the teachings of the
churches. Several of the ministers of
the city seem to be In favor Of more
united effort among the ministers and
it is possible that the plan for an as
sociation will be carried out within
theNnext few weeks.

Miss Grace Westerman Visiting in
kenosha Called Home by the
Death of Her Mother
FATHER FEARFULLY INJURED

Miss Grace Westerman, the daugl-
ter Of Will Westerman, superintend-
ent Of the Coe Brass company at
Ansonia, Conn.,, who has been visit
ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
John Tyler in this city for several
days, left on Sunday for her home in
Ansonia. She was called home by a
sad accident which resulted in the
death of her mother and which may
yet cause the death of the father.
Westerman is we'll known to the
employees of the Chicago Brass COM
pany in Kenosha, he having been at
the local plant several times since it
was taken over by the Eastern com
pany. Mr.. and Mrs. Westerman make
their home at Ansonia but on last
Friday evening they had gone to
Seymour, Conn, for a visit with
friends there. During the evening
they had gone out fora drive, and
while crossing a railway track the
vehicle in which they we're riding
was struck by train and demolished.
Both MIR. and Mrs. WestermaD were
fearfu1ly injured. AS soon as possible
the victims of the accident we're re-
moved to hospital where. the wife
died on Saturday morning. Mr.. Wes-
terman was later removed to the
hospital Waterbury andshis friends
have hopes for his recovery. 1t is
stated however that he will be laid
up for many weeks as a result from
his injuries.
Full details of the accident have
not been received in city. Miss
Westerman had no been advised of
the death of her mother when she
left Kenosha for her home on Sunday
morning and the home coming will
be decidedly sad one. Mrs. Tyler
accompanied the young woman and
will remain with her for several
weeks.
On account of the fact that both
Westerman and his wife were we'll
known to many of the men at the
Brass Works the accident has caused
profound sensation at the plant.

Mrs. Geo. Adamson Drops Dead
on Prairie Ave. Saturday After
noon From Heart Disease
HAD BEEN IN ROBUST HEALTH
Well Known Woman Suddenly Seized
With Fatal Disease While Return
ing Home After Shopping Trip
Long a Resident of Kenosha

Mrs. Johanna Adamson, a we'll
known pioneer resident of the county
met a tragic death on Saturday after
noon when she dropped dead from
heart disease on Prairie avenue in
front of the residence Of former mayor
o. M. Petit. Mrs. Adamson had
been walking along the street and
gave no sign of the approach of the
end. She fell forward without any
warning and when pedestrians who
we're near the scene reached her side
the spirit had already taken its flight.
Mrs. Adamson isthe wife of George
Adamson, and she left her home at
610 Dayton street just after dinner.
She had planned to go down to drug
store and get some medicine for her
husband, who was i'll at home, and on
her return had planned to make a
purchases and started for home just
before four O'Clock. She met several
friends along the way and chatted
with them showing no signs of illness.
She had been in good health during
the day. AS she was passing the
Petit home on Prairie avenue she
seemed to sway from side to side and
fell forward on her face. When the
people who were walking along the
street reached her they supposed that
she had tainted and one of them ran
to a house to secure some water
Others who looked into the case
found that the woman was dead. In
short time her identity became
known and the body was removed to
the Dayton street home. Coroner
Robinson was called to investigate
the case and found that an inquest
was not necessary. He signed a
death certificate giving heart disease
as the cause Of the sudden death
Mrs. Adamson has been a resident
of Kenosha county for over 50 years
and she was we'll known to many peo-
pie in the county. She was native of
Ireland and was born May IS, 1884
With her parents she came to this
country in 1855 and settled in New
Jersey. A year later she was married
to Mr.. Adamson and with him she
came to Kenosha in 1856. Since that
time she has been a resident of the
county. Mrs. Adamson had been a very
active worker in ST. James church
and her death will leave vacancy in
the church which will indeed be hard
to fill.
The children are Sister Mary
George, member of the Dominican
Sisters, now a teacher at ST. Clara S
Seminary at Sinsinnewa Mound;
Mrs. Joseph Riley and Mrs. Henry
Riley, both of Pleasant Prairie; John
Adamson, teacher in the Fallon
school in Chicago; George Adamson
al Miss Nellie Adamson, teacher
in the WeiskoPf school, both of Keno
sha.

BUYS OLD BUSINESS
Peter Fisher Co., Buysithe FL. Gottfred-

Peter Fisher Co., Buysithe FL C ottfred-
sen Building Material Business
Announcement was made today of a
sale by which the Peter Fisher, Jr.,
company takes possession of the build
ing material business which has been
under the control of F. J. Gottfredsen
for the past thirty-five years. The
new owners of the business will con-
tinue it at the old stand. For many
years Mr.. Gottfredsen has had the ex-
cement in Kenosha, and these
brands will be taken over by the ne
owners of the business. Many addi-
tions will be made to the business as
the Peter Fisher company will carry
not only lime and cement but building
stone, concrete, common brick, and in
fact everything needed'for the builder

streets will be used by the new COM
pany and it is the intention to put in
another yard in the western part of
the city. The old employees of Mr..
Gottfredsen will remain with the
business in the future.
The business under the control of
Mr.. Gottfredsen has been one of the
best known institutions IN the city.
For some time the business has been
growing at such rapid pace that Mr..
Gottfredsen found that it would be
impossible for him to handle it IN
connection with his many other enter
prises.

Papers for Nomination of Alder.
man Hegenan for Mayor are
Now Being Circulated
FIND MANY READY SIGNERS
Alderman is Promised Support From
all Ranks of People in the City
and Many Democrats Favor
His Candidacy

The Republican campaign in Keno.
sha was opened Monday afternoon,
when petitions providing for the NOM
ination of Alderman John Hegeman
were placed in circulation, and it is
evident that there will be no lack of
signatures for the alderman. Four
papers were placed in circulation in
the south wards of the city, and later
IN the week other papers will be put
| IN circulation in the north wards.
Personally Mr.. Hegeman has taken no
part in the circulation of the petit
tons, but he has consented to accept
the nomination if the people of the
city desire him to have it.
The papers were signed by many
| people IN the south wards on Monday,
but the number of signatures will be
limited, as under the Interpretation
OF the law by the attorney general
the candidates for mayor can not have
more than 10 per cent of the total
vote of six voting precincts on their
petitions. 1t is stated that the num-
Der of signatures to the petitions will
thus be limited to less than hundred.
All the members of the Republican
party in Kenosha seem to be ready to
unite on the candidacy of Mr.. -Hege-
man, and at the present time it looks
as If the Honest Blacksmith will be
the only Republican in the fel 1or
the nomination. It is a matter for
congratu1ation that there are no fac
tlonal lines being drawn in the city.
The friends of the administration and
the SO called stalwarts have seen fit
to bury the Ratchet, SO far as the city
election is concerned, and the party
will present united front to the COM
mon enemy. The petitions for Mr..
Hegeman have been signed by both
stalwarts and half breeds, and it is
thought that this campaign will go a
long way toward bringing the two
factions together.
The candidacy of Alderman Hege-
man from its inception has been
/ popular one, and the alderman has
found favor not only with the mem
bers of his own party, but with many
Democrats who are looking for the
best interests of the city. The petit
tons for the nomination of Mr.
Hegeman will be filed within the next
ten days.
In the meantime the petitions for
the nomination of Mayor German for
another term have been circulated
and they are in readiness for fling.
1t is stated that there IS no end of dis
sension IN the ranks of Democracy,
and it looks now as if the Republican
candidate would have pretty easy
sailing.
With the issue of petitions for the
Republican candidate for mayor, can
didates for the minor city Offices have
also started work and several other
petitions are being circulated,

WARRANT FOR HIMSELF
Peter Anderson Reports Burglary to
Po1ice-Charge Proven Untrue


Peter Anderson, who resides in one
of the Pearl street boarding houses,
was the victim of his own warrant
last Saturday night. Anderson al
legged that he had been robbed of 500
in money and made complaint to the
officials. Finally, as he had charged
a fellow boarder with stealing the
money, search warrant was issued
and the officers went to the house to
search for the money. They hap
pened to get into The room occupied
by Anderson first and after they had
turned over number Of papers in
the closet they found the missing
money. It is net probable that any
arrest will be made as Anderson had
no desire to prosecute himself.

LINCOLN's BIRTHDAY
Chairman f. c. Theirs of the Board of
Education Speaks at High School


Education Speaks at High School
A program was given at the High
school Monday in honor of the birth
day of Abraham Lincoln. The Glee
club rendered an appropriate song un-
der the leadership of Mr.. Hubbard,
while Mrs. Hubbard presided at the
piano.
Mr.. Theirs spoke on Lincoln's life
and character. Before beginning his
address he presented to the school an
excellent picture of Lincoln. In his
address he told how Lincoln self-edu-
Gated, honest, and persevering rose
from poor man to the highest office
of the nation. In regard to slavery,
Lincoln did not wish TO abolish it. In
his great debate with Stephen A.
Douglas he said he wished to prevent
its extension. His emancipation
proclamation was merely a war meas
ure. He argued that "a house divid-
ed against itself cannot stand. y He
thought that the same was true with a
nation; that one side must win over
the other, there must be either UNION
or disuniou.
A sentence taken from his second
Inaugural address, shows his true
feelings: "With malice toward none,
with charity for all, with frmness in
the right, let us strive to do all which
we may achieve and cherish a just
and lasting peace among ourselves
and with all nations. =
The address was very interesting
and was greatly appreciated by all
who heard it. In conclusion, the
school sang America. =

Official Of Chicago, Kenosha and
Milwaukee R'y Co. offers to
Build a Trunk Sewer
ASHLAND AS COMPENSATION
Frank r. Grover Makes an Unusual
Offer to Ashland Avenue Resi-
dents to Secure a Fran
chise on the Avenue

According to an offer made by Frank
K. Grover, the secretary and attorney
for the Chicago, Kenosha & Mi1wau-
kee Railway company, that company
stands ready to spend from SIS, 900 to
100000 to secure a right of way
through the city of Kenosha, and es-
pecially for a right of way over the
south end Of Ashland avenue.
The company through its attorney
has offered the people living on the
south end of Ashland avenue to build
the great trunk sewer so long dreamed
of by the people insthis portion of the
city for the paltry return of the use
of a couple of blocks of the avenue
for street railway purposes. The
offer was made to John Priddis and
William Schumacher, the two men
most interested in the construction of
the sewer.
The trunk line of sewer referred to
would extend from the lake to the end
Of the Priddis property and it is esti-
mated that the cost of the sewer
$75, 900 to 100000. Residents of the
avenue do not as a rule believe that
Mr.. Grover was aware of the offer that
he was making and they are OF the
| opinion that he planned the building
of a small drain from Ashland avenue
to the lake, which could be put in fol
few thousand dollars. At the time
the plans for the new sewer system
were made two years ago one of tn,
plans included the building Of trunl
line of sewers from Lake Michigan
west to Rowland avenue.
It was planned that this great drair
was to follow as far as possible the
course of Jerome Creek, and it was t.
have been large enough to carry al
the sewerage from the western anC
southwestern part Of the city. The
estimated cost of the trunk line was
| placed at 100000. For some time the
+ plan was considered by the city coun
Gil, and when it was submitted to the
people the proposition was lost by ar
whelming vote. The people OF
the city declined to accept the respon
sibility of paying for the big sewer
1t is stated that the sewer planned
from the lake to Ashland avenue was
to have been six and d half feet in Cir.
conference and it would be a great
aid to the sewer system OF the city. II
the Chicago, Kenosha and Milwaukee
Railway Co. Want to build this sewer
it is probable that all remonstrance to
the company's ordinance would be
withdrawn. The offer made by Mr..
! Grover has not been put in writing,
! but the men to whom it was made
state that there can be no mistake as
to the meaning of the offer and that
Mr.. Grover was fully advised of the
facts in the case.
Should such plan be carried out
for Ashland avenue, it is probable
that the people residing on other
streets asked by the company would
ask for favors of almost as great a
magnitude.
The ordinance of the company is to
be presented to the common council,
according to schedule, at the next
meeting of that body.
