CITY HALL TEST ON.
Floor of New City Building Being
Tested by Experts This Afternoon.

The first test of the floors of the
new city hall building as provided by
the specifications is being made this
afternoon and a large number of pro-
perty owners in the city including q
number of the men who have protested
against the methods of construction of
the building were on hand to witness
the test. The test is being made by
the Council Committee on Building and
Waterworks assisted by expert builders
from Milwaukee and other cities. The
committee expressed the greatest as
surance that the test would prove the
statement that they have made in re-
gard to the building and show that
the contract had been lived up to to
the very letter.

gift of $4,000 has notified the direc-
tors that he desires to make a fur

Sneak thieves broke into the Cud-
ahy market No. l at the foot of Main
street some time last night or this
morning and managed to get away with
$7.I0 which had been left in the cash
register Of the market last night. The
robbery was discovered when the mar
ket was opened for business this morn
ing but as yet the police have not
found any clew to the guilty parties.
There were no doors or windows brok-
en- open at the building and the police
are inclined to believe that entrance
to the building was made with skeI-
eton key. Several suspects are being
closely watched but no arrests have
been made.

COURT EXPRESSES CONTEMPT
Joel jacobson Charged With Koch
Takes Change Of Venue to the Circuit
Court And Secures New Delay in the
Case.

Albert Koch arrested many weeks
ago in connection with the charge that
his child wife Alma Koch had been de-
hberately sold by him into "white
slavery pleaded guilty to the charges
against him in the municipal court this
morning and Judge Randall imposed
upon him sentence of three years at
hard labor in the state prison at Wau-
pun the highest penalty under the Wis
consin statutes for the crime charged.
Koch appeared alone in court and the
woman whom he had so cruelty wrong
ed was not present when the court gave
him the maximum sentence under the
law Koch made no statement to the
court, no plea for mercy and when
called upon to plead he hung his head
and answered equity" in so low a
voice that lit was heard but a few feet
from the bench. In sentencing Koch,
Judge Randall expressed his utter con
tempt for a man who would so violate
his marriage vows. cit is impossible
for me to express my contempt for your
actions and the fact that you are a
young man does not in any way miti-
gate the crime" said the Judge and
without further delay he imposed sent
ence.
The case of the state against Joel
Jacobson who was charged with being
ap accomplice before the fact to the
crime of adultery in connection with
the same case was called for trial and
Jacobson through his attorney, Calvin
Stewart, presented an affidavit of pre-
JUDGE demanding change of venue
and the case will be tried in the cir
cult court. This insures a long de-
lay in the hearing Of the case and it
can not come to trial until the March
term. At that time District Attorney
R. V. Baker who has taken deep in
terest in the case will have retired
from Office.
Charles Mechewitz another defend
ant connected with the Koch case was
arraigned this morning. He is charged
with adultery, the wife of Koch being
named in the complaint. This trial
was set for this afternoon.
The sentence of Koch was the only
matter Of great interest coming up at
the opening of the regular term of the
municipal court. All of the other cases
of the calendar were set for trial and
the regular hearings before the jury
were started this afternoon. There are
about twenty cases on the calendar for
trial

SENATOR BISHOP LUCKY MAN
Congressman Cooper For the First
Time Loses Kenosha County But Car
ries the District by a Large Major
ity.


State Senator Isaac T. Bishop was
lucky man. In some unknown and in
applicable manner John f. Leighler Of
Racine county got the idea that it was
elected in the Senatorial District and
he pulled out of the race. This made it
possible for Bishop to return to the
State Senate. With no opposition Bis
hop got the normal party vote in the
two counties and he will defeat Sam
uel S. Walkup his only opponent by a
large majority. Congressman III. A.
Cooper for the first time in his history
as a candidate was defeated in Ken
osha county but the rock ribbed ,repub-
licanism of the other counties in the
district came to the assistance of the
congressman and his return to Congress
is assured. 1t is impossible to get full
returns on this vote as yet but Coop
er is said to have in the neighborhood
u djU0O NUltS IHU4 y bnoH OIGNdTb.
The republicans have carried the
State and Frances E. MccGovern is
elected governor by a plurality of from
10000 to 10000. The state legislature
is republican and the election of Sen
ator LaFoIleGJe to succeed himself
seems assured: The social democrats
made a big showing in the state and
elected their first member Of Congress
from Wisconsin. Henry Berger the
leader of all the socialists In the state
defeated Cochems in the Milwaukee,
Waukesha district by 800. The social
democrats carried the county of Mil
waukee electing their full county tick
ct by large pluralities.
The prohibition party got the usual
vote in the state and IN Kenosha coun-
ty but little interest was taken by the
prohIbitionists in the election.

county is not regarded as a vote

American Company is to retire from
his work in Wisconsin and early in the
new year he viii go to St. Louis to

effect on the Kenosha company of the
