AUTOMOBILE FOR DELIVERY
began & Deffry Install --latest Thing in
Delivery Wagons at Their Market
E. B. Belden,
Circuit Judge.

The old stories about the delays of
the delivery boys have all been prov
ed false by began and Deffry, the
Main street market men and today
the delivery boys of that company are
just touching the high spots. Auto
mobile delivery with the best posi-
BILE automobile has been installed at
the market and the new delivery
wagon is attracting great deal of
attention in the city. The automo-
bile was made expressly for the use
of the Kenosha firm and it promises
to be very valuable factor in secur-
ing speedy deliveries of all orders.
The automobile has taken the place of
all the horse carts formerly used by
the firm. The machine used by De-
gan and Deffry was built by the Nc
Intyre Automobile Co., and the market
men are the local agents of the Ne
Intyre Company.

SEEK MAN IN RACINE
Assist. Chief Newhouse Goes to Raeire
Seeking Man Wanted for Burglary

Assistant Chief of Police Joseph
Newhouse of Kenosha, was in the city
Saturday evening, having in charge a
Kenosha man charged with burglary.
The man had just served three years
in Waupun and returning to Kenosha,
robbed the home of his mother. This
was fixed up and then he entered the
home of his sister and stole about Sc
and confessed. On the same night a
meat market was robbed in Kenosha
and the man was suspected of this, as
the marks of a chisel used on a win
dow, were identical with the ones us
ed to enter his mothers home. The
suspect claimed that on the night of
the butcher shop burglary he was in
Racine and stopping at certain ho-
tei; visited saloon; the Biiou thea
ter and other places. Before board
ing the car at Kenosha the fellow
told the officer that he did not spend
the night in Kenosha but came back
on the last car Here it was found
that he had been in the saloon named
and also at the theatre, but the belief
prevails just the same, that he did the
butcher shop job.-Racine Journal.

Telepost Co., Plans to Build
Line From Chicago to Ke-
nosha During Year
PRICE OF MESSAGES TO Be CUT

Kenosha is to have new competing
telegraph company within the next
few months as announcement has been
made by Congressman W. J. Cary that
the Telepost Company which is now
operating lines in Chicago and many
other cities has arranged for the
building of lines which will practical
ly parallel the lines of the Western
Union and the Postal Telegraph Com
pany in this portion of the state. 1t
is stated that the lines will be built
just as soon as the spring season opens
and that the new telegraph company
which is making its operations nation
al in scope will enter many Wiscon-
sin cities as a competitor to the older
companies which are alleged to be
planning to merger of their interests.
The Telepost Company has made
serious inroads into the business of the
old companies in the cities in which it
is now operating on account of the
fact that it has been supplying tele-
graph service at a much lower rate
than the old companies and it is claim
ed that the service is infinitely better.
The company is alleged to be able to
send matter at the rate of 1000 words
a minute while the old companies with
their fastest operators are not able
to send matter at greater rate than
fifty words a minute
The Telepost Company has sent out
a lengthy propectus of it's plans for the
Wisconsin lines and these plans show
that offices will be opened in Kenosha,
Racine, Fond du Lac, Madison, Port
age, Green Bay, Lacrosse, Beloit, Chip
pewa Falls, Oshkosh and many other
cities.
The system used by the new com
pany is an automatic system and it is
claimed that it is as much Of an i'm
provement over the old methods of
telegraphing as is the automatic tele-
phone over the old patterns.
The company has declared that when
it enters Kenosha the rates for the
sending of kilograms will be cut to
the rate of one cent a word. There
will be no long schedule of rates, but
the rate will be one cent a word no
matter where the telegram is to go.
Of course the stations of the Telepost
Company are limited, but the lines are
being extended in all directions as
rapidly as possible and it is declared
by the end of the present year nearly
all of the principal and many of the
smaller cities of the country viii be
linked by the system.

Men Employed in Postofice to be
Under Perpetual Supervision

Men Employed in Postofice to be
Under Perpetual Supervision
With the putting of the finish on
the new postofice building it is shown
that the government has arranged for
a complete watch to be kept on all
men employed in the Office. This is
made possible through four look outs
closely screened which open into the
main portion of the office. The rooms
containing these look outs are stu
ated ON the second floor or attic of
the building and are accessible from a
half dozen different doors and lad
ders. The inspector in charge of the
district will carry keys to all these
doors and it will be possible for him
to get into these rooms without even
the postmaster knowing that he is in
the building. The doors are so ar
ranged that the inspector may go d.
rectly from the look out into the main
building and cause the arrest of any
one who may have been found tamper-
ing with the mails. These arrange
ments for espionage on the work of
clerks and carriers are placed in all
the buildings erected by the govern
ment for use as postofiees and they
have resulted in the capture of many
mail thieves.

TO CHOOSE NEW HEAD SOON
Committee Lays Matter of Election
Officials Before the District Attor-
ney and Urges Him to Take Some
Action Against the Mayor

o. A. Mcneil, chairman of the Re-
publican city committee for the past
year and a half, sent his resignation
to the committee at its session on
Thursday evening and he has already
retired as the head of the party in Ke-
nosha. In letter to the committee,
Chairman Mcneil stated that in the
future he was planning to move to an
other state and that it was probable
that he would not be in Kenosha dur
ing the municipal campaign and that
for this reason he would be unwilling
to remain at the head of the commit
tee. The resignation of Chairman
McNiel was accepted by the committee
but as it came as surprise to many
of the members no step was taken to
fill the vacancy last night and this mat
ter will be taken up at the next meet
ing of the committee.
The meeting of the committee was
an enthusiastic one, but no definite
action was taken in regard to any
matter save the matter of insisting
that the election officials nominated by
the chairman and secretary Of the com
mittee and sent to Mayor SchOley ten
days ago be named by the mayor. The
secretary of the committee was ordered
to lay this matter before the district
attorney and urge him to take imme-
date action to force the mayor to act
in keeping with the provisions of the
state law. cit is expected that some
definite action along this line will be
taken at once The law is very
severe and provides for heavy fine for
disregard of the nominations of the
party committee for these places as
election officials. Secretary Williams
of the city committee declared that he
would hold conference with the dis
trict attorney today and lay the whole
facts in the matter before him in order
that he may be able to act intelligently
i'll the matter.
The mayor has taken no steps to
change any of the nominations he made
to the council and it looks as if he will
stand to his original nominations.
1t is probable that at the next meet
ing of the city committee plans will be
made for the complete reorganization
Of the committee and that some of the
men most active in the affairs of the
party will be asked to take part in the
work of the committee. Several men
are being suggested as candidates for
chairman of the committee and some
choice win be made at that time.
The question of convention to
bring out an expression from the mem
bers of the party was discussed at some
length but action deferred until the
next meeting. Republicans in all the
wards of the city are reported to be
taking a great interest in the progress
of the campaign and it is thought that
the candidates of the parry will have
a more unanimous support this year
than in any preceding year

HOLD PATRIOTIC SERVICE
Large Crowd Attends Service at First
Congregational Church
{ From Monday s Daily

(From Monday DaIly)
Despite the storm of last evening
large congregation gathered at the
First Congregational church to take
part in and enjoy the patriotic service
attended by the Fred S. Lowell Post,
G. a r., and its three affiliated organ
izGtions The service was not only
success, but was so interesting and
deeply impressive that it will be re-
meutbered for a long time by those who
were present. The escort duty to their
guests was very prettily performed by
the companies of the Boys Brigade
battalion, and the large company of the
Girls Guild. The salutes to the G.
A. R., to the flag and the Prayer
Around the Colors" were executed
most happily by these companies. The
grouping of the companies produced
picturesque effect The music of the
occasion was well chosen and nicely
given; Mr. Morgan, the chorister, sang
with eXceIlenU eHect - Land or
Hope. The brief remarks of the
pastor, Rev Edgar Farrill, were timely
and to the point. He presente1 Wash
ington as teaching the Importance of
one man, and the value of one man s
decision. Lincoln he portrayed as a
man Of vision and claimed that he
he'd the sustaining vision of the Ameri-
can citizen of the future measuring up
to the standard God set for him. Ref
erence was made to the interest the
late z. G. Simmons had in these serv-
ices and IN the boys organization pres
ent; and his message to them was re-
peated. The decorations of the
church were simple and effective.

HAS INTERESTING PAPER
Ulster County Gazette Telling Of
Washington Funeral on Exhibition

One of the most interesting histori-
cal records shown in Kenosha in con-
nection with Washington's birthday
was copy of the Ulster County Ga
zette printed in New York on January
4, 1900. The paper was a part of
the effects of the late Cornelia RIGHT
myer Of the town of Bristol and it
was displayed at the jewelry store
of Leslie Holbrook, her grandson. The
paper goes into detail in regard to the
burial Of Washington and shows the
high reverence in which Washington
was held by the people of his own
time. The paper attracted consider
able attention during the day.

Chief of Police O'Hare received a
message from Chief Baker of the Ra-

James Ryan, who claimed to be resi-

custody in that city on Friday. Ryan
was attempting to sell a leather coat
at the time he was picked up. He told
a good story and declared that he was
an employe of a Kenosha tannery. So
far as the local police Office can dis
cover there is nothing against the
man and they directed the Racine of
fcers to discharge him

SOLD FURNITURE BY COUPON
Agents of the Company Disposed of
Many Coupons in Kenosha and Pat
rons Will Probably Lose AL That
They Invested. -


Many Kenosha people and nearly all
of them among the less opuient class
of the city have been hit by the fail
ure of the Grand Furniture Company
in Milwaukee, which has filed a vol
untary petition in bankruptcy in the
United States court in Milwaukee.
The company had an agent In Keno
sha and it is alleged that the losses
of Kenosha people resulting from the
failure Of the company will amount
to several hundred dollars. a3o There is
little chance to recover anything for
the creditors as the statement of the
assets and liabilities of the company
made in the United States court on
Friday indicate that there will be lit
tie or no hing to divide among the
creditors which are scattered all over
Southern Wisconsin. The assets of
the company so far discovered amount
to $940.25, but Of this amount $400 is
claimed to be exempt by the managers
of the bankrupt concern. The IL
abilities SO far filed amount to little
over $4,000. The company was en-
gagged in the coupon furniture bust
ness and all over this section of the
state the books Of the company had
been sold with the understanding that
the intending purchasers should pay at
the rate of ten cents week. Agents
of the company made regular collec-
tions and for each dime which they
picked up they gave coupon which
was about the same as trading stamp.
The scheme of the company provided
that the book could be used for the
purchase of furniture at any time, the
company advancing credit to the
amount of stamps contained in the
books.
The Kenosha patrons of the company
have been a little shaky on the prop
osition for some time and recently
when the agent Of the company came
to Kenosha he was theatened with ar
rest on the complaint of one of the
patrons of the company. The man
spent busy hour in the police office
explaining the workings of the COM
pany and later was allowed to return
to Milwaukee.
At that time the patron who made
the complaint to the police declared
that the business of the company was
not being operated in proper manner
and he demanded that he be given
back the money that he had paid into
the company for the stamps. This
was arranged after several conferences
and the man given the full value of
his stamps in furniture.
It is just. possible that some Of the
Kenosha patrons are debtors of the
company as some of them had secured
FURNITURE on which they had not paid
the total amount, but in most cases
the company was able to get the pat
rons to open new stamp books and
in this manner managed to keep them
selves about even.
The ten cents week creditors of
the company were not permitted to
take part in the bankruptcy proceed
ings on Friday, but it is thought that
their claims against the company will
be admitted later by the referee.

Jay Glerum Goes to Port
Washington Umpire Ball
Game-Gets Married
MISS GRACE BERGMAN IS BRIDE

Jay Glerum is a benedict. The well
known salesman Of the w. H. Robinson
book store, promoter Of athletics and
prominent among the younger alumni
of the Kenosha High School slipped
out Of Kenosha Thursday afternoon
under the cover of going to Port Wash
ington to umpire a basket ball game
and early Thursday evening at the
parsonage Of the Methodist church at
Appleton he was united in marriage
with Miss Grace Bergman of Chicago. Tt
was private little wedding ceremony
performed by the Rev. Fl. 7, Wiltsie,
pastor of the church. Announcement
of the marriage was not made to any
one in Kenosha until long after the
ceremony had been performed and few
of the friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Glerum
knew Of their marriage until they re-
turned to Kenosha just before noon to-
day. In fact the members of Mr..
Glerum family were decidedly in
doubt when asked in regard to the mar
riage this morning. Miss Bergman
is well known in Kenosha being a
niece of Charles G. Theleen.
Thursday afternoon Mr.. Glerum left
home stating that he was going TO Port
Washington to umpire a basket ball
game and when the train from the
south pulled into Kenosha he Joined
Miss Bergman and the two continued
the trip to Appleton. Miss Eva The
leen of Kenosha is cousin of the bride
and when the couple reached Appleton
Miss Theleen was sought out and with
her assistance the plans for the we'd
ding were hurriedly arranged and Ii
cense and court order were secured.
AS the bridal party were on the way
to the home of Rev. Mr.. Wiltsie they
met Joseph Bendt, Jr., Of Kenosha and
he was impressed into service as best
man while Miss Theleen served as maid
of honor.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.
Glerum were the guests of the Kenosha
colony at Lawrence University at the
dormitory of the university and we'd
ding dinner was served in their honor.
The bride and groom returned to Ke-
nosha this morning and for the present
they will make their home with Mr..
and Mrs, G. Glerum, the parents of
the groom, at 351 South street.
Both the bride and groom are well
known to Kenosha people. Mr.. Glerum
was prominent during his high school
course as an athlete and as. an orator
and since leaving high school he has
been prominently connected with the
promotion of clean athletics in the
city. He has played with the Ke-
nosha foot ball and basket ball teams
and has been active in all lines Of
sport.
Mrs. Glerum is a charming young
woman and she is sure to receive a
hearty welcome to Kenosha.
While the relatives of Mr.. Glerum
had suspected that the wedding would
take place in a short time they had no
idea that it was to have taken place
Thursday night, but the parental bless
ing was freely given on the return Of
the happy pair this morning.
