SETS NEW RECORD MORE NEW STAMPS
Jury Case in Circuit Court Is
Disposed of in an Hour
and Fifteen Minutes
MRS. De SAINTS GIVEN $500

The Circuit Court for Kenosha
county set a new time record this
morning when case tried by jury
was disposed of in just an hour and
fifteen minutes. This included the
formal calling of the Court, the
selection of jury, the introduction
of the evidence III the case and the
argument on the part of the counsel
and it is thought that this is a record
for this circuit in the disposing of a
jury case. The suit on which the
record was made was civil action IN
which Annie DeSantis was the plain
tiff and Antonio Venture the defend
ant. Attorney James Cavanagh was
in charge of the trial of the case and
the jury awarded the woman dam
ages to the amount of $500.
The suit was based on an attack al
legged to have been made on the plain
tiff by the defendant in July of last
year. The woman claimed that she
was permanently injured as a result
of the assault and demanded damages
to the amount of $1,000. There was
no appearance on the part of the de-
PENDANT, but in order to have the
damages properly assessed the attor-
.ney for the plaintiff presented the
evidence 10 the jury. Three wit
nesses were called and just forty-two
minutes was taken up in the trial of
the case. After it was submitted to
the jury that body debated the
evidence for twenty minutes before
reaching a verdict. Some of the
members of the jury were in favor of
giving the woman the entire amount
demanded and the verdict as reached
was a compromise verdict. 1t is
claimed that Venture was formerly
well known among the Italians of the
city and that he is able to pay the
damages assessed by the court. 1t is
alleged that he left the city after the
suit was started and since that time
no trace of him has been found. It is
thought however that he will now re-
turn to the Getty and settle up the
Judgment against him. Tr n
Attorney CavanagE1 moved for a
Judgment on the verdict and it was
issued by the court at once.

MANY SEEKING WORK
New Free Employment Bureau Had

New Free Employment Bureau Had
Twenty-Five Applications Tuesday
While the new Free Employment
Bureau of the Manufacturer Asso-
citation has not IS yet been regularly
opened for business the assistant
secretary Of the Association had
twenty-five applications for positions
on Tuesday. The. applications are
from all kinds of workmen and this
fact seems to indicate that there are
more idle men in Kenosha now than
there has been in years. Most of the
men applying for work have been
residents of the city for some time
and none sof them has come in as a
result of the recent troubles.
The Associa ton is furnishing up
the central Office in fine shape. There
will be general meeting room to be
used by the members of the Associa-
ton for conferences, a waiting room
for men seeking employment and an
Office for the assistant secretary.
Regular printed applications for work
have been secured and the Associa.

Coupon Stamps To Be Used for
Letters From Other Countries
To BeSoId at Local Office
AIDS FOREIGN BUSINESS

A new idea in the postal service,
which supplies long felt want in the
business world, is the reply coupon,
supply of which has been ordered
at the local postofice. The coupon
is intended for the use ofI-those who
wish to write letter to a cores pond.
ent in foreign country, and provide
for the postage on a reply.
Heretofore it has been almost impos-
sible to do this. A merchant or bust
ness man in Kenoshas bwriting bust
ness letter to man inJanother coun-
try could not enclose return postage,
because the United States coins of
smaller denomination ares practically
valueless in foreign countries.
/ The constant calls atS the different
thing to be sent to foreign CORE
spondents to pay the postage on let
tiers for return to this country caused
the officials ofsthe post Office to evolve
the scheme that is now. in use. The
local man who is CORES ponding with
someone in another country buys a
small coupon at thenlocal post Office
and on presenting it lat the stamp
window gets in returns.a stamp which
will carry his reply back to his COR
respondent in this country.
The coupons are sold for cents,
and will purchase stamp of the value
of 5 cents, United States money,
which is the international postage on
letters of the first class. The extra
cent pays for the expense of printing
the coupons and makingsa settlement
between the various countries where
the coupons ares honored Exp1ana-
lions Of their use are printed IN FIVE
languages on the coupon, and they
are honored in nearly seveTy coun try
belonging to the International Postal
Union.
AS soon as the fact thatsthe cop pons
are for sale becomes generally known
it is probable that their useNwill be-
come extensive. Manytof the local
factories and business houses that
have dealings lwith 5frmss in other
countries haveeasked forlsuch a cou-
pom many times, and will doubtless
be glad to learn Neutrality-suspicious. be

IT is not exactly the time to promote
new enterprises, but any capitalist
who has money to invest can secure
large returns by building an electric
road west from Kenosha. 1t would
be comparatively easy matter to Sc
cure a right of way, and business
that would pay operating expenses
and large return on the investment
from the start is ready and waiting
for the line. A large majority of the
farmers through whose lands the road
would pass want it built, and they
would put no difficulties in the way of
any responsible company that pro-
posed to build it.

ANY person or property owner who
proposes to rip up a paved street
within year after it is put down
should be made to pay dearly for the
privilege. No matter how skillful1y
the repairing is done the pavement is
never as good after it is once taken
up, and while it is often necessary to
lay pipes on a street a long while
after it has been paved, there should
never be any necessity for taking up
a new pavement except to repair
pipes already laid. The owners of all
property AUDITING on any street that
is to be paved and every public SER
vice corporation SHOULD be compelled
to lay all the pipes that are going to
be needed for at least year or two
before the pavement is put down.

START NORTH TOMORROW
Many Kenosha Hunters Leave for
Northern Woods Thursday

A full score of Kenosha nimrods
will leave Kenosha Thursday evening
for the Northern Woods for the
annual deer killing season. The
season for shooting deer will not
open until next Monday but the Ke-
nosha men are anxious to be among
the first in the field and they will be
in their camps by Saturday morning.
Another large party of Kenosha men
will leave on Saturday morning and
they expect to get into the woods by
the time the first shots are heard.
Several of the Kenosha scouts who
have been in the woods during the
last few weeks declare that the report
that deer are scarce is without found
alton. These men claim that deer
are most abundant and that every
man going into the woods should get
the full number allowed by law.

Farewell Engagement of KeIlar !

Kellar and Thurston! To the low
ers of magic either Of these names
means great deal, but when COM
bined under one management and the
choicest magic and illusions of the
two formerly interesting programs
are amalgamated into one and this re-
freshed with many new features, then
certainly an entertainment is assured
that will cause even the most passe to
manifest unusual interest. For years
kellar, the great magician, has been
recognized as the dean of his profess
sion, while the closest approach to
him IL point of ingenious creations
and ability to properly present them
to the public has been the clever
young conjurer, Howard Thurston.
Mr.. Thurston's work has been along
novel lines and he has made for him
self clientele distinctly apart from
that Of any other magician, past or
present. His magic savors more of
picturesque frivolity and is highly
amusing and entertaining. With this
lie
uncanny and seemingly supernatural

is little question but that their pro.
gram will furnish larger variety of
entertainment than has heretofore
found place in any single perform

Somebody isAlways Watch
ing You.

Unless you turn hermit and go
out and live in a hollow tree or a
gully, somebody is always watch
ing you. 1t is not idle curiosity
that prompts them to do so, but
the scrutiny Of your lifes and
conduct is caused by a desire to
use You in their business or to
contribute in some way 10 your
welfare.
Some time ago business man
was making irquiries about a
clerk who had not been in town
very long. In passing his place
of business he had watched this
green country boy and his keen
business eye saw that he had the
making of man in him. He
watched him because he wanted
to use him in his business.
A week or two ago woman
was out visiting friends. On her
return home she said to her hus
band "Mrs. Blank asked es-
pecially after you and seemed to
be interested in your health and
welfare" Mrs. Blank was un-
known to her husband, but, man
like, he was hattered because a
stranger to him was watching him
as he went to and fro over the
streets.
You may set it down that
every one Is watched Ly some
body and by many somebodies
Mill hands, young men on the
farms, in stores, offices and shops
are all watched. Especially are
the idle and vicious watched.
That is the way regulations are
made.
By this watching process the
faithful young man is promoted
In the same way the young wo.
man is watched in school, on the
street, at her home, everywhere.
1t does not take long watching
for the people to put a label on
her. To all people in any sort
OF business, or in no business
we want to say--Walk in an up.
right, circumspect manner; work
diligently, cheerfully, honestly
The people are watching you day
and night.
The upright, fearless, fair and
squa are man or boy does not care
whether he is watched. The indo.
lent, tricky and careless is watch
ed whether he knows it o,
whether he likes it. He attracts
attention to himself. .--Carolina
