SEEK MISSING MEN
Judge S1osson Is Asked to Search for
Former Residents of Salem

Judge slosson Is Asked to Search for
Former Residents of Salem
Judge Slosson has received a letter
from Justice of the Peace J. r. Cole,
of Cedar Springs, Mich, asking that
he make an effort to find some trace of
Frank, Elmer or Orvi11e Jackson, for
mer residents of the town of Salem,
who have been lost to their relatives
for many years. It is alleged that
the three brothers lived in Salem
more than twenty years ago, but since
that time they have disappeared and
no trace of them can be found. Frank
Jackson, the oldest of the brothers,
has daughter living at the Michigan
town and she is seeking some trace of
her father and uncles. It is said that
the Jackson men had grandparents in
the town OF, Salem by the name of
Smith who left large estate, but the
records of the County Court throw no
light on the matter. It is supposed
that the Jackson brothers have been
missing for ten years or longer.

HOARD THE MONEY
The Italians Are Blamed for
the Money Stringency In
This Country
MILLIONS IN MONEY ORDERS

That> the Italian 1aborers of this
county are responsible for the strin-
gency in the money market is the be-
lief of bankers and other fnanciers.
The Italian laborers never deposit
their earnings in the banks but save
them until they have a certain
amount and then purchase postal
money orders and send to their
families or to bankers in Italy. Some
years ago it was the custom of Italian
laborers to send their earnings to
Italian banks IN New York and when
the laborers had acquired several
hundred dollars they would go to
New York, draw their deposits and
sail for Italy, there to spend the re-
mainder Of their days, but the Italian
banks are no longer the custodians of
the earnings of the 1aborers of Italy
who are in this country. The labor
ers hoard their earnings, carrying
the money about with them or secret
ing it until such time as they have
500 or more and then the postal
money order is purchased.
In this city where there are hun
dreds of Italian 1aborers, each day
visit to the postoffice will result in
a half dozen or more italians being
found at the money order window pur.
chasing foreign money orders in
amounts from 500 upward. These
amounts are paid in gold or currency
of denominations not less than SIS.
The fact that it is'Italians who are
boarding the money, is shown by re-
port from New York. The steamship
Oceanic yesterday sailed from New
York, taking the largest number Of
postofice money orders for Europe
ever sent out in single ship. In all,
the amount of the money orders
aboard the Oceanic was 1872. 432,
divided among seventeen different
countries.
The last two weeks have been rec
ord breaking ones in the postofice
money order department for foreign
consignments from New York. The
total number of orders sent ont was
1854, amounting to $500, 765. In
the same period last year the number
of money orders sent out was 253, 468
and amounted to $4,210,075.

MARRIED TN KENOsHA

Floyd N.Wi1he1m and Miss Ada c. The
rien Married Here on Wednesday
A wedding of great interest to peo-
Pile in Racine occurred at the parson-
age of the First Unitarian church on
Wednesday afternoon when Floyd N.
Wilhelm, manager for the Western
Union Telegraph company in Racine,
was married to Miss Ada G. Therien,
also of Racine. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Florence
Buck on a Court order issued by Judge
Slosson.
1t is reported that the bride is an
actress and there is said to be pretty
romance behind the wedding. Mr..
and Mrs. Wilhelm left Kenosha i'm
mediately after the wedding for Ra-
cine. It is probable that the an
nouncement of the marriage will
come as great surprise to the Ra-
cine friends of the bride and groom.

Statesmen Of the Chicago. Keno
sha Hosiery Co. at Tenth
Annual Banquet
SEE SIGNS OF A GOOD YEAR
Year just Closed Has Been the Best in
the History of the Stocking Max
ing Plant, and Prospects
for New Year are Bright

The tenth annual reunion Of the
Chicago-Kenosha Hosiery company
was held at the banqueting room in
the Offices of the company on Thurs
day evening and it brought to the
city large number of well known
statesmen from every part of the
country. The business of the Keno
sha company is rapidly being pushed
into all territory of the United States
and nearly every state in the union
was represented at the gathering at
the plant Thursday evening. The
statesmen began to arrive on Wednes-
day and on Wednesday evening 6. II.
Curtis, the general manager of the
company, with. the aid of his wife, en-
tertained the visitors at stag party
at his home or Prairie avenue. This
was preliminary to the general
gathering Of the men held last night.
The big banqueting room was
prettily arranged for the entertain
ment and a course dinner was
served at seven O'Clock, lesson, of
Milwaukee, catering. At the ia BILE
covers were laid for thirty-6ve, the
men about the board including the
various statesmen from the different
parts of the country and the officials
Of the company. After dinner was
over an informal smoker was in
augurated and the remainder of the
evening was spent in heart to heart
l. Il
plant and the statesmen.
The reports from the field showed
that the year just closed has been the
best in the history Of the operation of
the plant and the Black Cat stockings
have found many new handlers during
the year. The output of the plant has
been greatly increased during the
year, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the year has not been a very
heavy one with some manufacturers,
the Hosiery plant has been kept in
operation continually and much of
the time it was behind with the
orders.
The statesmen of the company are
taking decidedly hopeful view of the
outlook for the coming year, and it is
thought that the business of the COM
pany will be equally as large as in the
year just closed, if not larger. These
men have been busy in all parts of the
country, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the business interests have been
disturbed by the financial muddles of
the past few months, they seem to see
silver lining to the cloud, and their
reports indicate that there will be
good business after the first of the
year.
Many of the men attending the
banquet Thursday night have been
in the employ of the company for
fully ten years and they are we'll quail
fed to judge of business conditions in
all parts of the country. It is pretty
certain that there will be no stopping
of the wheels at the Hosiery plant
during the next twelve months if the
reports of the statesmen are to be re-.
lied upon.

To Purchase Farm on Thursday
Fred Pabst, the Milwaukee brewer
and one of the best known men in
Wisconsin, was in Kenosha on Thurs
day afternoon negotiating for the
purchase of a farm in the town of
Pleasant Prairie. Mr.. Pabst is said
to have his eye on the old Houston
farm about six miles west of the city
and this is one of the finest farms in
the county. It was stated Thursday
evening that the deal for the sale of
the farm has not as yet been closed.
but that it was pending. Mr.. Pabst
plans for farm on which to raise
fine horses. During his short stop in
the county he visited the Holt stock
farm and paid high compliment to
the horses there. Farming and horse
raising is one of the fads of the Mil
waukee brewer and it is probable that
in the very near future he will join
the gentlemen farmers of Kenosha
county.

SCHULZ GETS $115
Fifteen Given as Compensatory
Damages and 500 as
Punitory Damages
VERDICT WAS A SURPRISE

The Jury which heard the evidence
in the action for damages brought by
II. G. Schultz against John Orth, re-
turned verdict in the Circuit Court
late Wednesday afternoon finding a
verdict for the plaintiff and finding
the amount of damages to be re-
covered by him at Sis. The verdict
came as surprise to many people
who had watched the progress of the
case, as it was expected that under
the instructions of the Court to the
jury the amount of damages would
have been larger. The jury gave
Schultz SIS as compensatory damages
for the awful whipping that he got at
the hands of Orth and assessed the
500 as punitory damages against the
defendant. Schultz had sued for
SIS, 900, but there were none Of the
members of the jury who thought
that he was entitled to that sum.
Some of them, however, thought that
the injuries done to Schultz were rea-
sonably worth $500, while others did
not think that the damages should be
more than one cent. The verdict as
reached was compromise.
The case went to the jury just after
two O'Clock Wednesday afternoon, af-
ter decidedly short argument. Be-
fore this time Judge Ludwig had
granted the motion of the attorneys
for the plaintiff to strike out all ev-
idence that had been introduced to
show provocation for the assault, but
that evidence was already before the
jury and while the court instructed
them that they must disregard it in
making up their verdict there is little
doubt but that it carried some weight.
The suit was the outcome of a fight
between Schultz and Crth which oc-
Cured more than six months ago.
Ortiz attacked Schultz on the street
and Schultz was SO badly beaten that
he was confined to his home for sever
al days. Ortiz was arrested on a
charge of assault and fined and later
Schultz brought an action for dam
ages. It is probable that the judg-
ment as assessed by the jury will be
paid and the case dropped.

ANNUAL APPROPRIATION

Tax Collected on Insurance

Volunteer Firemen to Get $23.45 From
Tax Collected on Insurance
The annual meeting of the trustees
of the Kenosha Volunteer Fire De-
partment was held at the City Hall on
Wednesday evening, and the apprc-
priation of the money collected as tax
on the insurance premiums was made
to the members. The members will
receive 1874 each and the money
will be paid to them at once. Now
that the state fremen's pension law
has gone into effect the volunteers
will be forced to give portion IF this
money to the paid department for the
pension fund, but it was the senti-
ment of the meeting Wednesday mig hit
that after this year the members of
the paid department could not share
in the division of the money among
the volunteers. This year the mem
bers of the paid department will re-
ceive their share of the money. The
volunteers will probably claim all of
the money for another year and after
that time they will be satisfied to have
half OF it paid to the paid men for the
pension fund.
The annual meeting Of the volun-
teers will be held On the second Mon
day in January, and at that time the
matter of the apportionment for next
year will be taken up.

A School for American Citizenship

In these days of the uncovering
of graft, when everybody is asking.
What can be done?" comes from
the Businesses of Pennsylvania a
stirring story, which we quote from
lone Man and His Town" in the
January McClure's. Roseto was a
collection of Italian shacks, and
Bangor said that Roseto ought to
be wiped off the face of the map
for Bangor was coming to a sense
of the seriousness of the situation
Fifty or sixty Italians scattered
within her limits had been bad
enough; two or three hundred, seq
regated in a ramshackle village a
mile away, ready to break out at
any time with an epidemic of ty-
phoid or the long knife, were men
ace to the health and the peace of
the community. Those were the
days when Bangor mothers used to
warn unruly children by saying.
If you don't mind, the Eyetalians'll
get you and carry you on"
The Presbyterian Church sent out
a missionary, who didn't last, and
even the Catholic Church finally
fell into the sheriff's hands, In this
happy state came Father de Nisco.
an italian priest, disciple of Abb
raham Lincoln With his own
hands the priest tidied up the rub
bish heaps, and his people followed
suit. "Eytalian Town" has now
become the fiourishing town of Ros-
ato Father de Nisco is at once
Captain of Industry and Labor Lead
err, Excise Commissioner. Board OF
Health, and Chief of Police. He has
two classes a year in American

work is well worth perusal.

ceding the congressional campaigns.
The real audiences are not those in
the galleries, but those in the fields
and the shops and the stores back
home" who will get the news first
from the brief telegraph and later
from copies of the speech sent out
from the government printing Office
where Uncle Sam pays the bills.
This is sad commentary on
American craftsmanship to say that
it is cheapened by this sort of clap
trap. Broad craftsmanship is not
built along these lines, but under
the situation as developed by reason
of the short terms and uncertain
tenure of Office the cheap stateman
is looking more to the voter in the
next campaign than the accumula-
ton of wisdom for the good of the
republic.

Pawtucket, Paterson, and Zion City.
Already the lace industry is of
great Importance in the United
States.
AS proof of this the following sta
tistics from a French source may be
cited: For the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1906, the United States
consumed 100000 worth of lace
goods, of which the home supply was
valued at s7,2OO,OOO; that from
France at 10,3OO,OO0; from Switz-
erland, $11,2OO,Oo0; from Germany,
$6,000,0O0; and from Great Britain,
$5,700,000. 1t thus appears that
the United States made for itself
17.S per cent of the lace consumed
therein in 1906.
