SUIT LAID OVER
value Of Forged Notes on Farmers TO
Be Decided After Circuit Court


The suit Of the Wrought Iron Range
company against John Herzog, town
chairman of The town of Somers,
which was to have been heard in the
justice court today, was continued
until after the regular March term of
the Circuit Court. AS more than fifty
farmers are interested in the outcome
of the suit it is expected that the suit
will be one of the most bitterly con-
tested ever heard in the local courts.
The Iron Range company will not
deny the fact that the notes were
forged, and it is claimed that they
will put up bond to reimburse the
defendants in the suit if the original
notes are ever presented for pay
ment.
No trace of the original notes has
ever been found, Notwithstanding the
fact that they disappeared nearly two
years ago. Most of them have now
matured, and it is thought possible
that the man who stole them will
make an effort to cash them in short
time.

cut down the fire losses in other states
fully 20 per cent, and under the bill

AN UNUSUAL CASE
Tony Skipon Seeks to Recover Money
Stolen While in Trust With Friend

Tony Skipon Seeks to Recover Money
Stolen While i'm Trust With Friend
There was an unusual suit tried in
the court of Justice McCarron on
Tuesday afternoon when Tony Skipon
brought suit against Frank Russo to
recover SIPS. A short time ago
Skipon went to Chicago and he left
the money in trust with Russo and
the following morning the money was
stolen from Russo. John Skipon, a
brother of Tony. was arrested and
charged with the theft, but there was
not sufficient evidence to hold him on
the preliminary examination and he
has since disappeared. It is claimed
that Russo. who is straightforward
sort of fellow, offered to make good
the loss, but at that time Skipon re-
fused to accept the money, and later
Russo changed his mind,
Justice McCarron took the case
under advisement.

Kenosha Electric Railway Co.
Sends Two New Ordinances to
the Council Monday Evening
M ACTION ojNssREyocATloN

|@F$ asmR@ I& Cg5 la1se89l @%Als 6s8la.f
The Kenosha Electric Railway Co.
has submitted two applications for
franchises to the City Council sforstfe
pur pose1of extending the lines OF the
company along the streets ofthe city.
These ordinances ask that heSCoun-
Gil grant the company the right to
build line on Elizabeth street from
West Main to Ashland ,lavenue,ss and
on West Main street from Pearl street
to Grand kavenue. The ordinances
are proposed as anendmentst to the
original franchise ordinance and all
of the provisions of the former ordis
nance will governithem.
1T is the plan Of the company to
build line to the Northwestern sta
ton, and also to have line to con-
meet the Elizabeth street line with the
Ashland avenue line. Both extern
sions must be completed within year
from the date of the passage Of the
ordinance, and the company is called
upon to pave and maintain. twenty
feet of the street where double tracks
are laid, and ten feet wheresa single
track is laid, The ordinance was or
dered published and referred to the
| special railway committee. An or
dinance granting the company the
right to use T rails IN the city took
the same course as the other ordi-
nance. The Council showed its dis
approval of the plan for t rails by
| tabling the communication which had
been received from the company on
| this subject without any action.
The railway matter brought up a
discussion of the sewer proposition on
Ashland avenue, and report of the
engineer showed that this would be a
very difficult problem to solve without
changing the grade of the street.
The matter was referred back to the
committee for report at the next
meeting. In the meantime an effort
will be made to work out some plan by
which the people living south of
Jerome creek can be given sewer.
Many petitions for rebate OF taxes
were presented, and the tax commit
tee will be kept very busy disposing
of these petitions. They simply go
to show that the assessment, as made
last year, was decidedly poor one.
One man claimed that he had been
assessed for house, when in fact it
was on lot belonging to another
man.
The committee on license did not
make any report in regard to the re-
vocation of the license of William
Dicks, as asked by the Civic Fedora
ton, the chairman of the committee
stating that two Efforts had been made
to hold meeting, but that it was i'm
possible to get the committee to-
gether. 1t looks as If the committee
was in no hurry to act on the matter.
The Council will take the matter up
at the next meeting If report Is not
forthcoming.
The Committee OF Fire Department
was given power to crrcha5e 1000
feet of hose and to pay $500 for the
new team. A bill Of $21. 40 was also
allowed as the expenses of the COM
mittee in going to Chicago to pnr-
chase the team.
There was great lot of routine
business transacted by the Council,
and it was nearly midnight when it
adjourned.

Political Notes.

Senator Allison of Iowa has made known his purpose to ask for another term, and his friends are busy denying the rumors that he is incapacitated by age and failing health.
 In recent interview Mir. Bryan was asked what is the most important princi- pie to be applied at present. in American politics. His reply was quotation of the Jefferson maxim: Equal rights to all and special privileges to none"
 The New York Legislature adjourned without having passed either the reap portionment or direct nomination bills, which the Governor in special messages had demanded in the name of the people, and call for an extra session was an ticipated.
 Secretary Taft gave the commencement address at the University of Minnesota. His subject was "The College Graduate as a Political Asset of the State and Nation" He not only advised the stu- dents to get into practical politics, but he even showed them some of the vari- ous ways in which a political slate could be smashed.
 W. J. Bryan told the Oklahoma Dem ocratic convention at Oklahoma City, that the new State constitution, in his opinion, was the best of any State in the Union, land better than the constitution of the United States" He went on to compliment the cornfeld lawyers of Oklahoma upon having puttied up all the holes shot into the constitutions of other States by trust and constitution lawyers" :" He suggested as their campaign motto, Let the people rule" and added that 1t should also be the keynote of the national campaign.

THE HOME OF CHEESE
Women Assist at Hoorn in Unload
 ing and Reloading.

Early in the morning thequiet street Is awakened by the quick, hard trot of heavy horses, the rattle of many wag- ons, and when we reach the square on which the weighhouse fronts there are already long rows of cheeses neatly laid in readiness for the market and others being rapidly unloaded from those heavy wagons which had broken our slumbers Down every street which leads to the market they are still coming, these high, strong, we'll built, well-kept wagons, drawn by big, heavy-trotting, well-groomed horses, driven by the cheesemaking Boer and loaded with wife, a blue-eyed child or two and many round, yellow cheeses, says a writer in Scribner.
 Swiftly they take up their positions on the square, the horse is quickly un- fastened and led to a nearby stable, the wife chambers down and hurries of on shopping intent, while the chill dren trot along after her or feast their eyes In nearby shop windows. Some one has already climbed into the was- on, another helper stands close beside it, third kneels upon canvas stretch ed on the stone pavement.
 Women, as we'll as men, assist here at Hoorn in the unloading and reload ing, the piling of the cheeses, the prep aration for the market and the after cleaning. The work goes forward with astonishing rapidity and dexterity. The golden yellow balls fly from hand to hand, sometimes across considerable distance. Looking over the market the air seems full of them, a peaceful bat tie of yellow cannon balls in which there are no wounded. Never a cheese falls to the ground, though they are fairly heavy and very slippery. The experts show their skill by receiving and tossing two at time. The wagon unloaded, it is drawn away into a side street or convenient stable shed and another takes its place. After each farmers load is arranged 1t is care fully covered with a layer of straw and a heavy white tarpaulin, a pro- tection from sun or possible showers dust seems an unknown quantity in cleanly, watery Holland.
 Much care, apparently, Is exercised In placing the cheeses, in selecting those for the corners and outer rows, and setting them carefully 80 their soft roundness shall not suffer, but all this work Is done by the regular help
