Up TO no LICENSE PEOPLE.

Interest now Ceuters in what action the
no license people of M.ddleseX, who claim
an Illegal vote on the license question at
the last annual town meeting will do. The
Hon, II $, stanton, senior counsel for the
day that he and W. G. White. his asso-
ciate, has not decided what course wou'd
be taken, and at all events three weeks
must elapse before the license applied for
can be granted.
Those who favor license in the town of
Middlesex claim If the license vote was
illegal because Montpelier citizens voted
in the annual town meeting all the off
GERS elected by ballot ~ that town meet
Ing are also Illegally elected and that the
town Is without any officers legally en-
titled to hold office, except the thres
license commissioners appointed by the as
sistant judges. So far as known this is the
first case of its kind arising under the
license law and the developments will be
awaited with no little interest.

Paroling Prisoners.

Chicago is trying the system Of parol-
Ing some OF its delinquent citizens who
are taken In by the police. The argu-
Ment used by the judges is. that there
are certain offenders who get bitter
lesson from their first experience In
the hands Of the law and can be trust
ed to behave in future. A ptison IN
der such circumstances may be SIM
ply school Of crime, whereas q time
" word Of encouragement and advice
may save young man or youth to his
family and to society.
The idea Of @ reformatory and a
penitentiary is to lead the convict into
better ways Of life. But IL these In
stitutions prove to be schools OF deeper
crime the wiser plan Ia to give the
beginners a chance to reflect where the
environment will be helpful. After all,
the state wants to save citizens, not
to punish them. Any plan to thai end
is worth trying even at the risk OF an
occasional mistake.

THERE is a general tendency among
the big railroads to limit expenditures
ing the coming year TO nominal
sum and the Northwestern is no ex-
ception to the general rule. This be-
ing the case it would be a good move
to grab that $4,000 the city has been
promised for the improvement of West
Main street before it is everlastingly
too late. Once it is withdrawn the
road is not likely to make so liberal
an offer again and if we lose this
chance to get that street paved at
nominal cost to the city, it will be a
long time before the city is able to
pay for all the paving itself.

GETS VALUABLE RECORDS

Point During Revolution

T.. r. Muzzy Gets RecordsKept at West
Point During Revolution
T.. r. Mnzzy yesterday received
from an old resident Of Sandy Creek,
New York an heirloom which is of
peculiar interest in the archives of the
Muzzy family, and one that will be Of
more than passing interest to stu
dents of the Revolutionary war. The
relic is record kept by Robert Mnzzy,
the great grandfather of Mr.. Muzzy,
while he was stationed at West Point
during the years directly following
the war with England, which resulted
in the establishment of the indepen-
dence Of the American colonies.
The great grandfather of Mr.. Muzzy
was then an adjutant in the army nd
he kept a record of all the men in
several of the Massachusetts com
mands. The book has been excellent
~ preserved and it is regarded OF
historic value to the old Massachusetts
families. Mr.sMuzzy is having some
photographs made of pages of the
book and is preparing list cf the
men named in the records and will
offer them to one of the patriotic
societies of Boston.

MYSTERY AT LAKE
John Rudnick Disappears Mys.
teriously From Powers Lake
and May Have Drowned
CAN FIND NO TRACE OF BODY

Powers Lake has a real sensation.
Efforts are being made there to find
some trace of John Rudnick, aged %
years, an employee of the Jefferson
Ice Company, who is mysteriously
missing, and it is thought that he has
been drowned. The man has been
gone since last Monday morning, and
on that day his cap and the pike pole
which he carried were found on an ice
foe, but there was no trace of the
man. Rudnick, with two other en-
ployees of the company, had been sent
to float large amount of ice from one
part of the lake to another, and while
passing through channel where the
water is more than forty feet deep,
hthe ice cake broke. The two men
took the larger portion of the ice,
and Rudnick went back to get the
other portion. A short time later the
men went back to search for him.
They found his cap and pike pole lay
ing on the ice, but no trace of the
man. Since that time people have
been dragging the lake for the body
of Rudnick, but have found nothing !.
Rudnick was single man and lived
with his brother, Walter Rudnick, at
1911 Milwaukee avenue, Chicago. He
had been employed by the Jefferson
company for some time. just before
coming to Kenosha to work he had
Joined the order of the Maccabees,
and it is claimed that the relatives
have already begun to seek the in
surance. Some of the officials in the
town seem to scout the theory that
the man drowned, and believe it pos
sib1e that he went from the cake of
ice to the shore Of the lake and has
left for parts unknown. Every bit of
| the lake about the scene of the acci-
dent has been dragged and no trace of
the missing man found. It is claimed
that with the pike pole and the cake
of ice to aid him it would have been
almost an impossibility for the man to
have drowned without he was at
tackled by heart disease and fell into
the lake while suffering from it.
The search for the man is being
continued today and the brother has
gone to Powers Lake to aid.

OLD CASE Is REVIVED
Wrought Iron Range Company Be,
gins Action to Collect Al
legged Forged Notes
FIFTY NOTES ARE AFFECTED

Summons and complaint has been
served in the suit of the Wrought Iron
Range company, corporation doing
business at South Bend, Ind, against
John Herzog, town chairman of the
town of Somers. The suit which is
brought to collect sum alleged to be
due to the company in payment for
an iron range will be of great interest
to more than fifty people in the town
of Somers and on the north side of
the city.
In the year 1904 an agent of the
Wrought Iron Range company passed
through this territory and sold large
number of ranges making small col
lection of cash and taking notes for
the remainder of the amount in ques-
ton. These notes were supposed to
have been sent to the company but it
was claimed that little later the agent
who took the orders for the company
disappeared and with him the notes.
The notes that:were returned to the
company are alleged for the most part
to have been forgeries.
At the tin1e of the trouble another
agent was put to work in this terri
tory and when he attempted to
negotiate one of the notes he was ar
rested on charge of attempting to
utter, forged note. He was dis
charged on preliminary hearing
but an examination of the notes
showed that a majority of them were
forgeries. 1t was never discovered
what had been done with the original
notes. At that time the attorney who
was selected to represent the pur-
chasers stated that the men were
ready to settle with the company just
as soon as the original notes were
presented. There was no complaint
on the value of the ranges as many
of them we're sold at a very low price.
The company is now making an
effort to collect from Herzog on the
note which it is alleged was not the
original note presented to the agent
of the company. 1t is thought that
the suit will be tried 1t the March
term

THE very best men that can be per-
suaded to run for Office should be
nominated by all of the parties this
spring. The first concern of all
should be the city of Kenosha and
matters should be arranged SO that
the city will have good men looking
after its business whichever party
wins out at the election. For a city
that raises so much money every
year, we are getting mighty careless
bout the way it is spent.

THE President has at last got some
engineers at work on the Panama
canal who have no way of getting
away from the job if they want to.
The army engineers, however, are not
likely to try and evade responsibility,
and if they do the work they should
receive the same pay that would be
given civilian engineers. If they are
good enough to do the work they are
good enough to get the reward.

STUCK IN THE MUD
Little Child Lost on Wednesday Found
in an Unusual Predicament

Little Child Lost on Wednesday Found
in an Unusual Predicament
Police Officer John Leik found a
new argument in favor of the improve
rfent of Crate street Wednesday after
noon, when he recovered the little 8
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Christ Jensen, who had been missing
from the Jensen home at 827 Crate
street for many hours. Leik found
the little girl firmly stuck in the mud
of the street just north of Elizabeth
street. The little child had attempted
to go toward home, but could not get
out of the mud.
There was great rejoicing at the
Jensen home when the child was re-
turned to the arms of her mother.
Incidentally the condition of the
street has been referred to the street
commissioners, and It is expected
that they will act

WANT MORE WALKS
People on Church Street to Petition for
New Walk in Library Park

Wv ~ GIN III A<AO1dTy 1aEh
A petition is being circulated in the
city, which has for its purpose the
building of new walk in Library
Park before the opening of the spring
and summer season. Since the park
was improved the people have been
prone to make short cut just east of
the soldiers monument in order to
get north on Church street, and the
petition, which is addressed to the
Board of Commissioners of the library,
will ask that permanent walk be
laid out from the main east aud west
walk, which shall run parallel TO
Church street ana connect with it.
The movement has been started by
property owners on Clutch street, and
as this Streets rapidly growing into
busy business street, it is thought
that the commissioners will look upon
the petition with favor. The petition
has been largely signed and it is not
thought that there will be any opposi-
ton to the plan. The walk could be
put in for small sum of money.

A PITIFUL CASE


Frank Fraga1ey, an Italian Boy, Sent
to the State Hospital at Oshkosh
Late Thursday afternoon Frank
Fragaley, an Italian boy 10 years of
age,was adjudged insane in the County
Court and this morning he was taken
to the state hospital at Oshkosh. The
case is decidedly pitifu1 one. The
boy had been working at the Kenosha
Hosiery works and was taken with
mental trouble on Wednesday after
ternoon. His condition seems to De
hopeless and the officials had lot of
trouble with him at the Jail last night.
This morning friends of the boy told
him that he was going to be sent to
school and he went willingly with the
officials to Oshkosh.

THE High school joint debate may
be grand good thing for those who
take part in it, although there is de.
cided difference of opinion on that
point, but it is difficult to see where
the majority of the students get any

made general with all the students
taking part there could be no objec-

still keep the streets of the city safe
