REMEMBER THE ORPHANS
 IN THE CHRISTMAS SEASON

An appeal for the orphans at Ever green for assistance to replace the de- stroyed laundry building of the orphan age has heen issued.
 The appeal Is in the following words: The Baptist Orphanage at Evergreen affords a good opportunity for the be- stowal of gifts now that the holiday season is on.
 Early in october the laundry at the girls cottage was burned. Friends have kindly sent gifts of clothing so that that loss has in part been made good. but the walls of the old brick cabin are falling to pieces and cannot be repaired and the girls must do their work with out the semblance of a shelter If some friends of the poor orphan children will help us to get only a fur mace, and canopy We can shelter our dear girls from the weather until we can build.

GETS LARGE ESTATE
Circuit Court at Port Washington
Awards Estate Of $4,000
to Mrs. Matt Bode
CHURCH DECLINES LARGE GIFT

After contest Of more than three
years in the Circuit Court at Port
Washington, a decision has been hand
ed down by Judge Luke, setting aside
the will of the late Catherine Reck-
niger, an aunt of the Bode Brothers
of Kenosha, and directing that the es-
tate Of Mrs. Reclzinger, amounting to
more than $4,000, be turned over to
Mrs. M. Bode, the mother Of M. f.
Frank and Matt Bode Of this city. The
fight for the estate has been one Of the
most bitter in the history of the courts
at Port Washington. Mrs. Reckinger
died several years ago leaving a will in
which she directed that her entire es--
tate be turned over to the congregation
Of st. Mary's Catholic church at She
boygan for the expressed purpose of
building a hospital for the use of the
members Of the congregation, but not
for outsiders. The will was contested
by Mrs. Bode, who was the sole legal
heir to the estate, and after the con-
test had been filed the trustees of the
under the conditions named in the will,
claiming that the gift would become
burden on the congregation. The ques-
ton Of accepting the gift caused a di-
vision. in the congregation and certain
members, headed by John Eidenberger,
raised a fund and decided to make a
fight for the money in the Circuit
Court Notwithstanding the action of the
trustees of the congregation. M. F.
Bode of this city, has handled the suit
on the part Of his mother and the other
Bode children. Eidenberger brought
suit to have the Will sustained by the
court, claiming that he was one Of the
benefciaries under the will, but the
decision of the court held that Eden
berger was not mentioned as a benefci-
airy under the will and that the action
Of the trustees Of st. Mary's congrega-
ton in declining to accept the proposed
gift, must be regarded by the court as
final. He held that under the law or
ganizing the congregation, the trustees
had full power to act in the matter and
determine whether or not the gift
should be accepted and that the court
would not go behind their decision.
Under the ruling of the court the pro
vision of the will is set aside and the
estate will revert to the heirs at law.
The only heir is Mrs. Bode and it is
thought that she will get the entire
estate without further contest. It is
possible that the case will be taken to
the Supreme Court, but Kenosha people
interested in the outcome declare that
SUCH an action is very improbable.

Pauper Committee Of the Council
Seeking Farm Large Enough
TO Care for All Paupers
WILL SELL PRESENT FARM
Committee Plans to Close Out All Prop
erty Used for Paupers and
Get a Farm Which is
Worth While

Members of the pauper committee of
the City Council are out in the county
today looking over some farms that
are being offered to the city for use
as ga poor farm and it is possible
that the Council will take some action
leading toward the purchase of new
farm in the near future. Alderman
William Swift, the present chairman of
the committee on paupers, is very fav-
orable to a plan providing for the sale
of the poor farm in the town Of Somers
and the poor house property on Wash
ington Island and the using Of the
money for the purchase of farm which
will be large enough to take care of
all the paupers of the city. He proposes
the purchase Of a farm of 200 acres
and proposes to locate it far enough
from the city so that it will be necessary
for the paupers to stay there when they
are once committed to the poor farm.
Several farms have been offered to the
city and the one that is particularly
suited for the clty's demands is farm
of 200 acres eight miles from the city
and having on it house of sixteen
rooms. This house would offer room
for the support of nearly all the people
now completely dependent on the city.
Chairman Swift declares that he can
purchase this farm with the splendid
buildings for $4,000 and he believes
that he can dispose Of the present prop
erty owned by the city and used for the
care Of the paupers at an amount suf-
fcient to provide the purchase price of
the farm. The poor farm out in the
town Of Somers has not proved itself
q success, but it is declared that this
was on account of the fact that it was
too close to the city and that the pau
pers would run away from the farm
and come to town and spend their days
in rioting and get back there just in
time to be fed by the city without do
ing any work to earn their keep. The
farm is a valuable piece of property
and the city will have no trouble get
ting out Of it the money which was
originally invested, as several parties
have already agreed to take it off the
city's hands. Chairman Swift is plan
ming to have his scheme for the pur-
chase of a new farm worked out before
the opening of the present winter and
this will give the city time to take
hold of the proposition before the plant
ing season next spring. The great
trouble with the small farm in Somers
is that it did not produce enough to
aid any in the payment Of the expenses
but with larger farm it is thought
that the city could not only pay the
expenses of the care Of the paupers,
but possibly reap little income.

EDM0NDs IN RACE
Appleton Man Who Managed the Step
henson Campaign to be Chairman


henson Campaign to be Chairman
There is one avowed candidate for
the position of chairman of the Re-
publican state central committee. E.
A. Edmonds will make a fight for the
place.
The announcement of Mr. Edmonds'
candidacy was made Friday night be-
fore he left Milwaukee for his home in
Appleton. Tt came after he had con-
suited with the candidates for state and
legislative offices who have been in
Milwaukee attending the state fair.
During the time they have been there
Mr. Edmonds talked the subject of the
Craftsmanship over with them and re-
ceived SO much encouragement that he
decided to make the run.
~ have decided to become a candi-
date for the chairmanship, said Mr..
Edmonds just before leaving for home.
During the week [ have talked the
matter over with all the candidates
tor the legislature and state officers
who have been in attendance at the
fair, and as result of these confer
ences l have finally decided that [
will enter the field. This action has
not been taken without careful con-
sideration of existing conditions, and I
believe that [ can win out. Anyway
shall put up as good fight as I can
and leave it to the candidates conven-
ton to decide
Mr.. Edmonds was the manager of
the state campaign for Senator Step
henson, and since it's close he has
been warmly congratulated on his sue
cess. He made many friends, not only
in his own, but other camps He is
the first candidate to come out in the
open and this is looked upon by poiti-
clans as being of advantage. That Mr..
Edmonds did not take this step with
out careful consideration and encour-
agement, which makes it certain that
he will have strong following is
conceded

CHARGES ALL WIND
Secretary of Board of Police and Fire
Commission Looks Up O'Hare Charges

After day of hard work Secretary
Priddis, of the Fire and Police Com
mission this morning managed to find
the origin of the charges against Chief
of Police O'Hare. It is admitted that
they arose in a verbal complaint made
to Police and Fire Commissioner Joseph
Banasynski. The secretary and Ban
asynski had a long talk this morning
and the latter was directed to file any
charges which he might have in writing
and Priddis ana President Schend had
a conference in regard to the matter
this afternoon. cit looks as if it
were all wind,'' was the way the mat
ter was put by Mr.. Priddis and it is
not improbable that the Board will re-
fuse to take any official notice Of the
matter. O'Hare, it is understood, is
charged with putting on an officer with
out the consent Of the Board and the
other heinous crime is Of having a
man released on the night Of Labor Day
and then proceeded to arrest him on the
following day. The chief seems to
have acted fully within his powers in
all the matters.
