Complaint Made Against Andrew
Anderson is Dropped in Court
One of the cases started by the ke-
nosha Civic Federation came to an
unexpected end Thursday morning,
when thedistrictattorney and members
Of the Federation failed to appear IN
Justice McCarron's court to prosecute
the action brought against Andrew
Anderson, and after waiting for
twenty minutes for the appearance Of
the prosecuting witnesses, the case
was dismissed and the defendant dis
charged.
Anderson had been arrested on the
complaint of Isaac Huff. a director Of
the Federation, who charged him with
permitting Title Warren, girl IS
years Of age to be present at a dance
on October Ia, at Anderson park, it
being alleged that a saloon was main
tanned in connection with the dancing
platform.
This was the first prosecution under
the new law passed BY the last 1egis-
1ature. 1t is thought that other
prosecutions will be started Of the
same nature and that the members Of
the federation were not ready to make
"a test Of the law iii the Anderson
case

Young Hood1ums Make Themselves OBJ
noxious to Worshippers at Church
At the rate things are progressing
at the present time il the circles of
the younger element of this and other
communities, it will necessitate the
calling off church services on the
night of Halloween. AT one Of the
leading churches Wednesday evening
the prayer meeting was so interfered
with that lit was with difficulty that
the service was carried to it's close.
The youngsters Including gir1s)
cautiously stole into the vestibule
and serenaded by throwing missiles
against the vestry door, windows were
broken in, and other acts were per-
formed, all Of which any civilized
youth knew was far from the proper
celebration of the occasion.
Matters were carried to such an ex-
tent that it was necessary to phone
for police aid, but not word of well
come could be obtained at the office of
said body of bluecoats. Men in the
audience offered their services as
specials" and soon the hoodlum
crowd spared their efforts at these
quarters. Who's to blame? Do we
need one more police officer?

CLOSED SEASON is ON
Kenosha Fishermen Forced to Go L

Kenosha Fishermen Forced to Go TO
Waters of other states to Fish
Six weeks of enforced idleness for
the fishermen of Kenosha began
Thursday with the closed season for
lake fishing which will open again
Decem Der is. Work will be kept up,
however, until Saturday as the law
allows three days in which the men
may gather in the nets that are out.
The lake fish with the exception OF
herring are spawning at present and
will be protected until that season is
over.
The season has been fairly pros
porous one for Kenosha fishermen and
many tons Of the fnny tribe have been
taken from the lake in these waters.
For the last week or two very little
fishing has been done by the local
fleet on account of the storms which
have swept the lake, making it impos-
sible to handle the nets at sea and in
several instances to get outside Of the
harbor.
Herring are being taken in large
quantities whenever the weather is
favorable and these fish which disap-
peared two years ago have returned
in large numbers. Formerly the
catch of whitefish was an important
item to the fishermen, but few years
ago the whitefsh disappeared sudden
" and have never again visited these
waters. The causes which led them
to abandon their old feeding and
spawning grounds are shrouded in
mystery and the fishermen hope that
they will reappear as the herring have
done
AS in other seasons it is probable
that thes Kenosha fishing craft will
remain at this port and will fish in
Illinois waters. This plan has been
pursued in other years and so far as
can be learned there is no objection
to such a plan on the part of the
game wardeus. 1t is probable that
Kenosha markets will continue to
handle troutg and other fresh FISH as
there is no law by which the dealers
can be prosecuted and it is an easy
matter toghave these fish shipped in
from Waukegan and other points
outside the state. Kenosha uses
several tons Of fish a week and the
market men will be forced to go to
all sorts Of tricks to get fish into the
city without getting the wrath of the
game wardeu down on them.

LONG FIGHT ENDED
State Board Of Barber Examiners
Report Fight on Mayor Cor
man Has Come to a Close
DECLARE MAYOR HAS RETIRED

The annual report of the Wisconsin
state board of barber examiners, which
was filed with the governor of the
state on Thursday is of more than
passing interest to the people Of Ken
osha on account of the fact that it de-
clares that the fight which has been
made by the state board on Mayor
German of this city is at an end.
The board members .evidently con-
sidered this matter of great impor-
lance as portion of theareport. 1t is
stated that's the board has had fire.
quent requests TO answer, lthe ques-
ton. "What has beenadone with
Mayor German of Kenosha and has he
got his license YETI" The report con-
tinues. ITO all inquiries we will say
that May orHGorman has retired from
the barberEbusines and does no long
er need a 0license. Therefore that
trouble is ended. Mayor German re-
tired from business on account of his
health at the advice of his physician,
The statement of the board brings
to end one of the bitterest fights ever
made by asstate board in Kenosha and
one that shas scost Sthe state and the
mayor as well asgood many dollars.
Mayor German on the face of the re-
turns seems to have won over the
board as he has never taken out a
license as demanded blythe law and
has never been fined for practicing his
business without license.
The longsfght had many features,
the most sensational of which was the
alleged whipping of the secretary OF
the boardS bylthe mayor and the suit
which Whitakerpfiled for damages
He received a judgment for small
amount and it is supposed that the
judgment was paid by the mayor as
there is EnoEindication that the case
has ever been appealed to the SUI
preme court.
The report of the board contains
little or nothing else of interest in
Kenosha. 1t shows that at the
present time there are none Of the SC
called nickel shops in Wisconsin
and that there are six ladies licensed
to follow the trade in the state. II
contains "a reportgof several prosecu-
tons made ia Kenosha, but all were
of minor nature. A copy of the re-
port has been sent to every barber in
the city who has paid his license for
the year.

Oscar Nero and Miss Pearl johnson,
both Swedish people, were married IN
kenosha thursday morning and there
by hangs tale. Both reside ia Chicago
and the groom was tWenty-four years
Of age, while the bride admitted that
she had past forty-two summers and
as many winters. When the magi-
strate came to perform the ceremony,
after the court order had been Sc
cured, It was found that the groom
could not speak word of English
The bride to be was not to be cheated
IN this manner and she promptly con-
sented to act the part of interpreter.
Then the ceremony went on and Nero
stood the ordeal we'll. No one knew
the questions that the bride put to
the groom, but he answered up in
short order and it IS supposed that he
.swore to everything needful to make
a model husband. Mrs. Nero ioked

naIIoWe en- Crowds in kenosha
Give People q Taste Of Old
Fashioned Celebration
Sidewalks are Torn mp, Windows
Broken and Personal Property Taken
Police are Kept Busy But
Make no Arrests

Kenosha kad an old fashioned Hal
lowe'en this year, and as a result Of
the onslaughts of the Jewellers some
of the streets Of the city this morning
look as if a small sized cyclone had
passed through them. Buildings are
overturned, trees uprooted, sidewalks
torn up and carried away, windows
broken and wagons missing and a
half hundred complaints have been
filed at the police office On account of
the onslaughts Of the Hallowe' en-
crowds.
It was a perfect night for the sport
and hundreds of men and women and
boys and girls paraded the streets.
shouting and singing and hurting de-
cayed apples and cabbage. The tame
amusement Of hurting beans and corn
was done away withfearly in the even
ing and the destructive spirit took
the place of it. Some crowd of reve1-
Iers had rare fun in pulling a dummy
to the top Of the flag pole in the IL
brary park, while the crowd stood
about andscheered. The dummy still
rests on his high perch and the Off
Gals have done nothing to remove
him.
In some parts Of the city vandalism
was rampant. Some unknown people
tore up the sidewalks all along the
South end Of Park avenue and hardly
a wooden walk was left in place. The
cement walk in front of the new Yule
flats on Park avenue was torn from
it's place. Damage to the extent Of
many dollars was done to the new ce-
ment walk being laid in front of the
property owned by A. Fl. Lance on
Prairie avenue. 1t is possible that
the walk will have to be taken up and
laid over again. Out in the suburbs
where temporary walks had been laid
by the real estate men, the jewellers
found their stamping ground and
these walks were torn up and carried
away. R3W Wagons left on the street were
takensin tow by the men and women
and dragged for miles and several
people applied to thespolice this morn
ing to find wagons and other convey.
ances!which had been taken during
the night.
Some sonesof the early jewellers
threw aboard through plate glass
door at, the residence of Milo M.
Smith, on Exchange street, while an
other threw cabbage through the
window at the home of former county
treasurer, George Villnow, and his
little daughter had a narrow escape
| from being badly hurt. Over on Park
street an orchestra was practicing
and band of the marauders got a
goat and threw her into the room,
causing confusion among the must
clans. Special police officers we're at
work during the entire night, but no
arrests were made. This morning
many names have been given to the
police and an effort will be made to
force the revelers to pay for their
sport.
Socially the night was one Of the
gayest of the year in Kenosha and
many parties ard other functions OF
a socialsnature we're given. Most OF
the people attending these parties
joined the jewellers after midnight
and added in the general work of de.
struction.

Cleaning a Library.

To clean a library properly one
should have a real reverence for books.
After the furniture is all removed from
The room and the floor has received the
attention to be given it, then turn to
the books. Take one shelf at a time.
Wipe each book as it is removed from
the shelf. Have a small hair dust
brush and with this brush the tops,
sides and bottom Of the books. Be
very particular to replace the volumes
in the proper order. Nothing exas-
perates a book lover more than to have
well arranged shelves mixed up by
