years, during which time he endeared
himself to his neighbors and won and
retained a reputation for business,
sagacity, honesty, fair dealings, pub
lie spirit and generosity, that exalted
him not only at home, but through
out the state and among all who knew
him.
1t is not our purpose to refer at
length to his many successful and
honorable business ventures by which
be accumulated large fortune. It
is enough to say, that in all his tran
sactions and dealings, he was faithful
to the ideals of truth, justice and the
highest integrity. Great wealth in

The Board of Directors of Gilbert
M. Simmons Library, at special
meeting held on Thursday at the IL
brary building, unanimously adopted
the following resolutions:
"Eleven years ago Mr.. Simmons no.
ticed the struggle for financial life of
our small Library Association, and at
that time made an offer in WRITING
whereby he agreed to erect this beau
tiful library building, and to place
therein twenty-five thousand Volumes
of selected books, and to improve the
grounds surrounding the building, and
when completed all to be free gift
to our city. This gift was accepted
and a board of directors to govern
this library was appointed by the city
council of Kenosha, and the small Ii
brary association was merged with the
Gilbert M. Simmons library.
"The board of directors as first an
pointed has never been changed The
city authorities have re-appointed
each and every director as his term of
Office expired. Mr.. Simmons has
been member of this board from it's
beginning, and that his passing away
from us causes the first break in our
ranks may be but the natural order
of events owing to his advanced age ::
yet the blow is heavy and the loss
irreparable.
cit is comfort to know that he
lived to see the wisdom of his bene-
fcence, as from a small beginning our
library has grown to be model, and
to be pointed out as one of the most
progressive in the state, and with a
reputation for excellence in all de-
partments that reaches far beyond
our state lines.
Resolved. That in the death of
Mr.. Simmons this board loses an in
valuable member and this community
a citizen foremost in all that makes
for good citizenship. That we ex-
tend TO his family our sincere sym
pathy and share with them the bur
den of the loss
Further resolved, That these reso-
buttons be spread upon the minutes
of this meeting and that an engrossed
copy be sent to the family. of the de-
ceased. y

At special meeting Of the COM
mon council of the city of Kenosha,
held February 18th, 1910, your special
committee, to whom was appointed the
drafting Of a set of resolutions IN re-
spect to the death of Mr.. e. G. Sim
mons, do hereby offer the following
resolution, viz:
Resolved, That the mayor and board
of aldermen of the city of kenosha'
wishes to give expression to its deep
sense of bereavement sustained in the
death of Mr.. e. G. Simmons, who pass
ed to the Great Beyond on Friday
evening the 18th instans
Mr. Simmons came tcs. Kenocha in
1843 and has ever since been closely
identified with the activities of the
city and its environs.
He has been a successful business
man. He has ever striven for the
material and intellectual welfare of
his home town. He has been twice
elected mayor and his administration
was distinguished for probity and for
the promotion Of broadgauge policies.
His was the master-mind in the up
building, from a small beginning, of
The Simmons Manufacturing Co., now
employing more than two thousand
men.
He gave to his fellow citizens a
beautiful, well equipped public library
and an artistic imposing soldier IS
monument. There is probably not a
church organization in Kenosha coun-
ty that has not been the recipient of
his broad-minded generosity.
His kindness to the destitute fami
lies Of the men who went to the firing
line in defense of our common country
when the integrity of our Union was
menaced, is matter of familiar his
tory.
For these and other countless deeds
of mercy and friendliness during the
past fifty years, he was idolized by
the comrades of the Grand Army of
the Republic.
In view Of the foregoing and of the
numerous other good eeeds and ad-
mirable traits of our departed fellow
citizen, we resolve to ever hold in
affectionate reverence the memory Of
Mr. Simmons and of his exalted char
acter," and will ever cherish. the ex-
ample of his noble life as an inspira-
ton to good citizenship in it's broad
est significance.
While mourning our loss, we do not
forget to extend profoundest sym
pathy to those nearer and dearer.
We express the hope that their
grief may be measurably tempered by
the consciousness of the high esteem
in which our departed first citizen is
held in the community at large.

ton was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we regard the death
of Mr.. z. G. Simmons with deep, per-

appreciation of his 4ife and labor in
connection with this bank.
For more than thirty eight years he
presided at the meetings of the direc-
tors, was always devoted to its inter
ests, and conducted it's affairs with sig
nal ability, fearlessly and with never
failing courage. His great mind was
always alert and ready to grapple with
and overcome every difficult situation.
His relations with his associates and
with the officers and employees of the
bank were always pleasant and help
full. He was rare, personal friend,

those with whom he came in contact. We
have lost a true friend and wise adj
wiser, and the city of Kenosha, in which
he has lived for more than sixty years,
has lost its best and greatest citizen.

thereof, signed by the president and
cashier, sent to the family.

Truth About Catarrh
Sensible Methods Will Cure it-tovstt Drug Go. Guarantees Hyomei
 to Cure Catarrh.

Catarrh never can be cured by talk ing medicines into the stomach nor by sprays, atomizers or touches.
 Intelligent physicians have long ago discarded such ideas and not one of them would be worth considera- ton were 1t not for the fact that un- scrupulous. persons prey upon the ignorance of the people in regard to new discoveries.
 Catarrh is caused by germs and just as long as these germs thrive in the folds, crevices. hooks and corners of the mucous membrane that line the nose. throat and chest, just so long will you have catarrh. .. -- l.-
 There is only one way to cure ca tarrh, and. that Is to kill the germs.
 There is. only one remedy that vii kill the germs when it gets where the germs are, and that is Hyomei.
 HyOmei is made chiefly from Aus tralian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol combined with other. germ killing anti septics. Just breathe it in through the hard rubber inhaler that comes with each outfit and relief is immediate. Used regularly for a few weeks Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) will cure chronic catarrh.

SUIT FOR RECOVERY
 OF ADVANCE MONEY
To Bind Purchase of New Dennis
 Lodging House.

Suit was begun in district court yes- terday by Esther Nj. Ford and William Ford against Josephine Barnes and others to recover $500 which they had advanced to bind the trade for taking over the New Dennis lodging house at the corner of Washington and Second streets.
 After looking over the property con sisting of the lease, the furnishings and whatever else appertains to u well or dered lodging house the plaintiffs ad vanced to the agent of Mrs. Barnes. $500 to be retained by him until they were ready for the final step in the deal. They allege that they were ito have all the furniture with the excep- ton of a piano and a few personal books which the defendant wanted for her own use.
 It is claimed by the plaintiffs that considerable part of the furniture was removed in addition to the few personal books" so much in fact that the character of the investment as q bargain was wholly changed.
 It is also alleged that the defendant had stated her income from the bdg ing house for the winter months was s394 a month and that for the summer months. it was S23s. Though the plain tiffs were not from the sovereign state of Missouri they demanded to see the books and requested the defendant to bring on her Eskimos and other data in support of this claim but she re- piled that she would procure from the books an analysis of the business which the plaintiffs would more readily understand. This analysis was accept ed but the plaintiffs are still inclined to doubt that the lodging house was any such revenue producer.
 The suit is brought to restrain the agent from turning over to the de- fendant the advance money but to compel him to restore it to the plain tiffs. The purchase price of the lodg- ing house was to be 5000 of which 5000 was to be cash and the balance real estate.
