Theatre Notes
For Thursday Night

The Colored Aristocrats high class
organization of colored comedian sing
ers, mostly girls, and headed by the
clever composers and authors, Miller,
Lyles and Miller, is billed for Thurs
day night at the Rhode Opera House.
The fact that Miller, Lyles and Mil
Ter were responsible for all the good
musical comedies put on at the Pekin
Theatre, Chicago, during the zenith of
its popularity, is considerable of a
criterion that 1.-THE Colored Aristo-

When the case against the Simmons
Manufacturing Company, started by
the state factory inspector was called
on Tuesday afternoon, it was found
that the company had placed orders
for all the equipment suggested by the
inspector and the matter was left open.
It is probable that there will be no
further hearing Of the case in the
courts.

Musty Old Records Tell the Story of
Cases Appealed to the Supreme Court
But Which Were Never Given Hear
ing BY That Court.

Interesting stories of the early his
tory of Kenosha are told in a bunch
of musty old records received by Clerk
of the Circuit Court Frank Waldo from
Clarence Kellogg, clerk Of the Supreme
Court Of Wisconsin The old records
are files of cases started in Kenosha
county nearly half century ago
which were appealed to the Supreme
Court but which for some reason never
had hearing in the court. These
musty old documents have been lumber
ing up the record rooms of the capitol
for years and at the last session Of the
Legislature a resolution was passed di-
recting that the documents be returned
to the Circuit Courts in the counties
in which the cases were originally
tried The records are Of little value
save in making up the early historical
records of the county, but to the
men who like to study the early history
from the original documents they will
offer wide field for work. The cases
date from 1854 to 1872 and some of
them were famous cases in the history
of the county. All of the records are
written In long hand and in most cases
even the filing mark of the court was
put on with pen and ink. The most
interesting of the documents returned
are those referring to the suits brought
IN order to secure payment of the rail
way bonds issued by the city It is
evident that in the early times holders
of these bonds lost all hope Of ever
recovering their face value and at
least two of the cases returned were
cases growing out of these bonds and
which the holders Oh the bonds gave
up after the appeal had been taken.
Clerk Waldo is at loss to see Just
how the old records can be flied in the
local court as they were all portions Of
cases which were disposed of before
the present system of numbering cases
In the county was started and it will
probably be necessary to file them away
just as they are and let people who
are interested in them seek their own
method of finding any files. The list
of the cases together with the date of
their fling with the Supreme Court
is as follows:
First National Bank of Kenosha vs.
Peter III. Wood, Jan. q, 1871.
