Miss Grace Werye and Geo. W.
Taylor Give Their Friends q
New Years Surprise
PARENTS TO GIVE A BLESSING

Kenosha people had genuine New

the marriage of Grace Werve, young
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M.
Werve, of Park Place, and George w.
Taylor, formerly county superinten-
dent of schools and one of the best
known of the younger attorneys, of
the city. The marriage of the well
known young people was celebrated
in Racine at 8 o'clock Monday even
ing, and the announcement came as a
complete surprise to even the dearest
friends of the bride and groom. The
parents of the bride were In complete
ignorance of her plans and supposed
that she had gone to attend party
until they received a%telephone mes
sage from Racine announcing the
wedding.
Attorney Taylor had been just as
careful of his romantic gsecret. He
worked III his Office until late Monday
afternoon and then quietly slipped
up to Racine and secured court or
der for the marriage. Later he re-
turned to the city and notified his
bride that the arrangements for the
marriage had been perfected. The
bride ate supper at home and just
after supper she announced that she
was going to the home of friend on
Prairie avenue to watch the old year
out. Just before z O'Clock a carriage
drove up to the Werve home, and
shouting good bye to her parents,
Miss Werve joined ner lover in the
carriage. They drove lat once to the
Northwestern station and took the z
O'Clock train for Racine.
Reaching Racine they we're taken
at once to the home Of thestminister
where the ceremony was celebrated.
Later in the evening they lett Racine
for Milwaukee where they are now
spending their honeymoon. 1t is ex-
pected that Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor will
return to Kenosha on Thursday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Werve were greatly
surprised at the announcement of the
marriage, for while they had known
that Mr.. Taylor and Miss Werve were
friends they had no idea of an en-
gagerent between the young people.
The parental blessing will be freely
extended on the return of the young
couple.
Mr.. Taylor is one of the best known
young men of the county. He was
born in Pleasant Prairie and educated
in the schools of the city and county
and later held the Office of county
superintendent. He later graduated
from the University Of Wisconsin and
from the law conrse of the University
of Chicago and he is now practicing
law in Kenosha.
The many friends of the bride and
groom will be pleased to extend con-
ordinations.

RECORD REVIVAL SERVICE

Methodists at SsIem Win Notable Vic
tory for Church on Rainy Sunday
The members of the little Methodist
church in the town of Salem set
new record for revival services on
Sunday, when five new members we're
received into the church after they
had been converted at an old fash
Toned mourners' bench.
The weather brought to Salem the
worst Sunday the town had seen in a
year, and when the Rev. Mr.. Wilkins
opened his church service there were
just fourteen people in the church, in-
Guiding the janitor. Nine of the num-
Der were professed Christians and
members of the church, while the
others were unbelievers. Mr.. Will
kins at once began crusade for the
five people and before the service
ended long after noon all of the Ave
had confessed conversion and had
been admitted as members of the
church on probation.

A SIMPLE CERE uONY
Inauguration Of State Officers
on Next Monday to be Devoid
Of POmp and Show
CHANGES IN OFFICERS SURE

Political interest throughout the
state is awakened by the near ap-
proach of inauguration day and the
converting of the Legislature. Official
title and responsibility will be con-
ferred upon the newly elected state
officers, Monday January 7, and the
Legislature will meet on Wednesday,
January 9. AS now planned, the in
augura1 ceremony will be free as pos
sible from any pageantry and consist
of the administration of the oath of
Office by Chief Justice Cassoday and
Gus departmental rooms of the capitol.
The usual inaugural ball will be dis
pensed with if present plans continue.
The civil service law enacted at the
last session has simply fed the task of
the men who have places to bestow
and minimized their patronage to such
an extent that but few positions re-
main to be given out. Generally, the
working force in all departments will
remain the same, changes being made
only in the assistants and deputies to
the state officers.
Although Gov. Davidson's private
secretary, Col. Munson, is member
of the state senate, it is not thought he
will resign. 1t is claimed Attorney
General Sturdevant will act as state
agent to represent the states inter-
ests whenever necessary, and during
the session will act as confidential
advisor to Gov. Davidson in so far as
legal questions are concerned. He
will have headquarters in the execu-
tive Office and will work in coopera-
ton with Col. Munson.
Secretary of State-elect Frear has
announced the appointment of A. T.
forge as his assistant, and at the
present time is in conflict with Score
tary Houser and the state civil SER
vice board over his right to name his
chief clerk. Former Assemb1yman
Henry Johnson, of Oconto county, is
reported to be slated for assistant
state treasurer, and M. w. Waite, of
Milwaukee. for deputy insurance
Commissioners. A. C. Titus, of SUI
perior, the present assistant attorney
general, will be reappointed by At
torney Genera1-elect Gilbert. The
general clerical force in the various
departments will remain as they have
been.
There are prospects of a warm
scramble over some positions Gov.
Davidson has to bestow. It is claimed
that change is to be made in the
Office of state oil inspector soon after
the Legislature convenes, E. E. Mills,
of Burlington, being slated for retire
ment. It is questionable whether or
not Game Warden Swenholt will be
reappointed, and number of candi
dates have come into the field.

Sheriff Of Kenosha County is
Ordered by Circuit Judge to
Produce Escaped Prisoner
Sc0UR COUNTRY FOR J. BURK
Man SEM to Jail for Six Months Es
capped and Nothing Was Said
About 1t Until Circuit Court
Demands His Presence

Judge E. B. Be1den of the Circuit
Court has issued an order directing
]. Il. Veitch to produce in open court
the body of John Burk, prisoner, or
rather supposed prisoner in the
Kenosha County jail. Burke is miss
ing and has been missing for many
weeks and since the order of the court
was made public, deputy sheriffs from
this county have been securing the
country in an effort to find some trace
of the missing man. According to
the order of the court, Burk was to
have been found by the sheriff by
noon on Tuesday, January 1, but the
sheriff and his aides have thus far
found absolutely no trace of Burk.
At the last September term of the
Circuit Court, Burk was tried on
charge of assaultiDg with intent to
murder Roscoe Silver Of this city, and
when the case was submitted TO the
jury Burk was found guilty on
charge of simple assault. The case
was most grievous one and Judge
Belden sentenced Burk to. pay fine
of $500 and costs or spend six months
in the county jail. Burke served six
weeks in jail and escaped, but the
matter was Kept decidedly quiet and
fellow. In due time Judge Belden
was made aware of the escape of Burk
and after communicating with Dis
trict Attorney Baker of this city, he
issued the order to the sheriff to pro-
duce the man in court
Sheriff Veitch when seen this morn
ing stated that he had not as yet been
able to locate Burk, but that he
thought that the judge would extend
the time granted to find the man when
he came here late this afternoon.
Veitch takes upon himself all the
blame for the escape of Burk. He
stated this morning, that after Burk
had served a month he had directed
him to do certain chores about the
Jail and that one morning when he
was sent out to clean up the barn he
took French leave and since then no
trace of him has been found. Veitch
declares that he stands willing to pay
the fine and costs assessed against
Burk, but the circuit judge has stated
that he does not desire the fine but
the man.
Sheriff Veitch claims that Burk had
powerful aid from the officials of other
counties, and he insists that at the
time of the trial the sheriff of Racine
county came TO Kenosha and made
every effort to have the man released
with a small fine. Burk had the best
legal talent that could be found in Ra-
cine to defend him, and it is thought
that some of his Racine friends have
assisted him to get out of the reach of
the officials of this county.
It is not known what kind of an ac-
ton is to be brought against Sheriff
Veitch, but he seems to be of the
opinion that it is planned to arrest
him for the escape of Burk. It is
claimed that in several counties of
the first district complaint has been
made of the actions of sheriffs in not
properly handling prisoners, and
Judge Belden will make an example
of the Kenosha county case.

WORK ON NEW CLUE
Police Seek Evidence in Regard to
Felicia Capable Again

The police of the city have started
on new search for Felicia Capallo,
the Italian girl who disappeared a
week ago last Monday, and it is
claimed that recent developments
have given the officials reasons to be-
lieve that the girl is alive and that she
is being concerted by some one either
in Kenosha or Chicago. The new
search for the girl was started on
Monday evening at the urgent re-
quest of Emanuel Capable, the
brother of the missing girl, who al
1eges that he has some reason to be-
lieve that the girl is not in the lake,
but being concealed by relatives. On
the demand Of the brother, officer To-
ny Borden was sent to the home of the
mother of the girl on Monday after
noon with orders to search the house
and interrogate the mother. The
woman has been twice married and it
is claimed that the two older children
did not like the arrangement of liv-
ing with a step father, and for this
reason they set up home of their
own.
The mother has not seemed to be
greatly worried over the disappear
ance of the girl, and when the matter
has been talked of in her presence it
is claimed that she has laughed as if
she considered it great joke. For
this reason it is thought possible that
she has some knowledge of the pres
ent whereabouts of the girl.
1t was generally reported about
Kenosha on Tuesday that the girl had
been located in Chicago, but If such
is the fact, the police are unable to
verify it. The brother Of the girl
claims that he has no knowledge Of
her whereabouts.

THE QUICK ESTATE
Hearing in Probate Court An
 tiques May Be Sold.

An application for an order to sell property belonging to the estate of the late Mrs Catherine Gulick. wife of the Rev fs. DeHart Gulick, tenn porary pastor of the Third Congrega- tionll church brought out some things in the probate court to-day which evidently the clergyman was not aware of. Mrs Gulick was niece of the late Miss Susan Spencer and sister of Mrs E. w. Beacn. She lived with her husband on Crescent avenue and owned some real estate on Round Hill street On the Crescent street amounting to $7,30O. The estate of Miss Spencer and of Mrs Gulick are interwoven in their interests. Attor- ney Bronson is trying to bring about an adjustment of the Spencer estate and is interested as counsel for the Hartford Security company in the es- tate of Mrs Gulck.
 The Hartford Security company loaned Miss Spencer and Mrs Gulick $1,000 on their point note. Miss Spencer's estate being unable to stand the payment of this, it naturally falls upon the Gulick estate to pay it, but Mir Gulick will resist such pay ment If he can, notwithstanding his admission in court to-day that he was not aware his wife had signed the note and that he supposed the note was payable from the Spencer estate.
 Miss Spencer gave Mrs Gulick con- siderable antique furniture and he cound not comprehend why this tur- niture may perhaps fall under the auctioneer's hammer to pay the note. There is a claim of about $700 for taxes against the estate also and the Colonial Trust has clam for $50. The property owned by Mrs Gulick 0l Round Hill street was not listed in the appraisal of her estate by her husband Why it was not listed he could not say, but seemed that he knew nothing about it. The clergy man evidently did nou appreciate Lawyer Bronson's technicality and the lawyer quite obviously wondered at the clergyman's inability to see things in their proper light.
 For instance, because Miss Spencer gave Mrs Gulick the antique furni- ture, the clergyman could not for the world understand what claim Miss Spencer's creditors could have to that. He thinks q good deal of the antique furniture and Mir Bronson's informal ton that it may have to go by the board to allay the cries of the creditors seemed tc astonish him. The order to sell was allowed. There will be fur ther hearings,
