The plan to divide the city funds be-
tween the two banks of the city was
laid on the table as the Finance Com
mittee reported that the amount offered
by the banks for the use of the money
would not warrant a change from the
present plan Of having the one bank
as a repository and that little or moth
ing could be gained by the change. A
half an hour Of the time of the council
was taken up in the discussion of a
license for medicine show which is
to be in Kenosha for period of six
or seven weeks and the matter was
finally left with the mayor and he an
nounced to the council that he would
fix the license for the company at $500
a day. The manager Of the company
agreed to accept the license and the
show will be along within the next
week.
Some time was taken in the discussion
of plans for the cleaning of the river
and the committee will hold a confer
ence with the Allen Company and the
engineer in charge of the work and
make report at the adjourned meeting
on Wednesday evening. The matter of
purchasing the Hannah property for
park purposes was laid over indefinitely
and the council did not take up the
plan to purchase the land on the Lake
Shore north Of the city for park pur-
poses. This will be taken up at the
next meeting of the council.
The Pauper Committee reported that
it had employed DR.. J. B. Spalding as
city physician and the report of the
committee was accepted and ado pied
The contract for the sprinkling Of Prai-
RE avenue, west Of the railway tracks,
was let to George M O'Brien, the rate
being II cents foot for the season.
The bill Of John O. Jones for the
remainder of the contract price for the
paving of Rowland avenue was allowed
it being held that the ten per cent re-
served was sufficient to provide for the
repair of any deficiencies that may be
found in the job.
After the usual number Of bills had
been referred the council adjourned to

Final Chapter 10 ThierfeIder Di.
vofce Suit Filed With the
Clerk of the Court
WIFEGETSHEAyY SETTLEMENT
Richard Thierfelder the Defendant il
the Case Was Married Second
Time at ST. Joe Several
Weeks Ago

The last chapter Of the sensational
action for divorce brought by Anna
Thierfelder against her husband Rich
ard Thierfelder, one Of the best known
Germans of the city and a foreman in
charge of the knitting machines at the
Chicago Hosiery Plant, was written late
Friday evening when the Clerk of the
Circuit Court Waldo, received the final
Judgment in the case and placed it on
file. The judgment was signed by
Judge Belden on April II, but for some
reason it has been withheld from fling
until this time. Since the signing of
the Judgment Thierfelder has re- married
but the marriage took place at st. Joe
Mich The case which was one
of the most sensational ever filed in
the local court, has been before the
court for many months. Thierfelder
started the action when he caused the
arrest of DR.. Frank H. Gilman on a
charge of being unduly intimate with
his wife Anna Thierfelder Ehlman
was acquitted and Mrs. Thierfelder at
aonce started an action herself asking
"a divorce and charging her husband
with cruel and inhuman treatment and
declaring that he had repeatedly charg-
ed her with unlawful relations with
another man. The case was finally
heard in Racine county in April and
Judge Belden signed the decree at that
time. Under the decree Of divorce Mrs.
gThierfelder is given the custody of the
two children, Edwin and Conrad Thier-
fielder and the defendant is directed to
pay to her eight dollars week for the
support of the children until they shall
attain the age Of Is years. In addition
to this Mrs. Thierfelder is given $500
Jas her portion of the Thierfelder estate.
1T is said that Thierfelder made a cash
amount allowed to her and the alimony
for the support Of the children. The
marriage Of Thierfelder to his present
wife took place short time after the
decree Of divorce had been signed by
the court, but a full month before it
was filed with the clerk of the court for
record. There is some question as to
whether the decree became effective I'M
til it was filed.
The first Mrs. Thierfelder is now
Ilivingpwith her children in Milwaukee
and under the decree of the court the
husband has the right to visit the child
rem once each week, his visits to take
place between the hours of s a. m. and
II p. m.

BILLY PAPKE HERE
Great Boxer Boxes at Bijou With His
Trainer as His Apponent

Kenesha fight fans had high carnival
at the Bijou theatre on Saturday and
Sunday on account Of the fact that
Billy Papke, the boxing wonder, was
one OF the attractions at the house.
Papke went on for three round bouts
at each performance at the theatre
with one of his trainers as his oppon-
ent. The go proved to be drawing
card and standing room only could be
secured at any Of the performances.
Papke is certainly great boxer as
well as great fighter, and while his
trainer was not a match for him the
bouts were interesting. It was note
worthy that more women than men wit
messed the contests as this was the first
time that women had been given
chance to witness the appearance of a
really great boxer in Kenosha.~

TWO PLANS FOR SEWER
Engineer Moth Seeks to Solve Difficult
ties for Sewer on Market Square

City Engineer Robert H. Moth has
filed with the city clerk two recommen-
dations for the building of a sewer to
drain Market Square. The first plan
provides for sewer leading from Chi
cago street east to Maiden Lane AMI
south on Maiden Lane to Park street
and entering into the main sewer there.
This would cost the city about $4,000.
The other proposed plan is to permit
the people on the north side Of the
square to drain into the Bailey Canal
which now enters into the harbor at the
loot OF Church street. This plan would
orlng practically no cost to the city and
would add little pollution to the harbor
as nearly all of the property is used
Tor manufacturing purposes. The plans
wall be taken up at the meeting of the
street association committee

CoNLEY AND WoLGAsT DRAW
Italian Fighter of Kenosha and Milwau-
kee Man Fight Eight Fast Rounds

Frank Conley Of Kenosha and Ad
Wolgast' of Milwaukee, fought eight
rounds to a draw in Racine last Friday
evening. 1t was the greatest fight that
Conley ever made in his career and if
there was any difference between the
two it was in favor of Conley. The
two boys will be matched again at once
and the fight will take place in the near
future. Jack Dougherty in speaking of
the fight declared that Conley would
have whipped Wolgast decisively in two
more rounds. Dougherty himself got
easy six round decision over Steve Kin
ney and Kid Hertz Of Kenosha had just
as easy time with Bob Evans of Ra-
cine. Two hundred fight fans attended

The Rev c. [. Mallory, Rector of
St. Matthews Church, Gets
Call to WauWatosa
LONG IN CHARGE OF CHURCH
Will Make Decision in Regard to eau
to Wauwatosa This Week and
Will Probably Accept
the Call

The Rev. Charles L. Mallory for the
past eight years Rector of st. Matthews
Church and one of the best known min,
listers of tie church In Wisconsin has
been called to the pastorate Of the
church at WauWatosa and he will prob
ably accept the CALL Mr.. Mallory when
seen this morning stated that he was
in correspondence with the vestry of
the WauWatosa church and that his an,
sWer would be given within a few DAYS
and that he would probably accept the
call
The parish at Wauwatosa is not a
very large one, but it is one that is
much to the liking of Mr.. Mallory as it
will bring him into closer touch with
the work in Milwaukee. Mr.. Mallory
is dean of the Milwaukee convocation
and his relations with the bishop are
so friendly that he has desire to be
closer to the headquarters Of the church.
The announcement Of the retirement of
Mr. Mallory has not as yet been made
to the vestry of the Kenosha church,
but Mr.. Mallory stated this morning
that he would communicate with his
.vestry here just as soon as he had made
his decision.
Mr.. Mallory came to Kenosha from
Delavan in the fall of 1900 and during
the time that he has been connected
with the church many changes have been
made. The growth of the church has
been the greatest in the history of the
congregation and the church has added
to its property by building the Guild
Hall and making Improvements in the
church building. The church debt has
been refunded during the time Mr.. NAL
lory has been in charge of the church.
If Mr.. Mallory decides to accept the
call to Wauwatosa, as it seems certain
that he will, the matter of selecting
new pastor for the Kenosha Church
will be in the hands of the Vestry and
as the change is not to be made until the
first of September, the members of the
vestry will have plenty of time to Sc
lect the new rector
