observation-disclosures WEDDING.

One of the most interesting social
events of the year in the town of
Pleasant Prairie was the marriage of
Miss Carrie Seistrup and Christian J.
Kolmos which was celebrated at the
home of the Rev. Jesse J. Kolmos
brother of the groom on Saturday. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
Mr.. Kolmos in. the presence of a large
number of invited guests. Mrs. Bay
ard Tourtelotte Of Kenosha played the
wedding march. The bride was attired
in white embroidered gown and wore
white roses in her hair. She was at
tended by Miss Ruth Wicks of Chicago
as maid Of honor. Herman Olson of
Chicago was the best man. Among the
guests were Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Oh
son and Miss Ruth Wicks of Chicago,
Mr.. and Mrs. Bayard Tourtelotte of
Kenosha, Mr.. and Mrs. E. Shields, Mr..
and Mrs. Otto Jensen, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Ole Nelson of Pleasant Prairie,
and the Misses Hendricksen and Lar
son of Kenosha.

The proposal to organize an athletic
association to put ball team in the
feldl to represent Kenosha next sea-
son and to have supervision of all
sporting events generally, has been
well received by many of the men in
terested in athletics in the city. Some
one would have to do lot of work
in connection with the organization of
such an association but if the right
kind of leader could be found to take
the matter up it is believed that all
of the financial support needed would
be Forthcoming. Organizations along
this line have been successful in other
cities and have been able to give the
people of their cities first class attrac.
lions in many lines of sport and an
athletic association formed by the
leading business men of the city could
count with certainty on big patronage
from the people Of Kenosha. Once let
the people be convinced that the ath-
letic association had adopted liberal
policy and was securing the best talent
obtainable for its games and the
crowds would come

CITY TO Be SHORT 25,OOOMARK
Figures for the County Indicate That
the Population of the City When
Given Will be From 10000 to $4,000
People.

Z. Dana Durand, director of the
thirteenth census Of the United States
this afternoon gave out the figures for
Kenosha county, Wisconsin, and the
county has a population of 5000. Not
withstanding the fact that the figures
for the county are given out the figures
for the city are not as yet available
but 1t is expected that these figures
will be available within the next two
or three days and they may be sent
out from Washington on Tuesday.
When the twelfth census was taken in
1905 Kenosha county had a population
of 21,707 and ten years before that the
figures were Is, 5S1. These figures will
give chance for careful guessers on
the population of the city and such
guess will place the number of peo-
pie in the city at from $4,000 to 23,-
600. In 1890 when the population of
the county was 1851, there were g.,
532 people living within the corporate
limits of the city. At the time the
twelfth census was taken and the total
population of the county was shown
to be 21.707 the population of the city
was greater than that of the outlying
districts it being given at 1906. Since
that time the city has been growing
with great strides but it is not thought
that there has been any great growth
In the towns of the county. The in
crease in the county in the last ten
years is given at IL ,222, an increase Of
more than forty per cent and greater
per cent Of increase than in the pre-
ceding ten year period. It is held that
nearly if not all of this increase has
been in the city and if this is true the
city's population at the present time
would be 22. 82S. There are some peo-
pie who claim that the population of
the rural towns of the county will show
falling off on account Of the fact
that a large amount Of territory has
been taken from them and annexed to
the city and these people still insist
that the final figures will give Kenosha
population of not less than $4,000
These estimates, however, in the light
of the official figures on the county are
high and it is probable that the figures
on the city when issued will show
population of between $1,000 and 23,-
O00 The state census in 1905 gave the
county total population of 1886, an
increase of 1868 over the national CEN
sus and during that five years the in
crease in the population of the city
was 4,629. If this ratio of increase has
been kept up the population Of the
city would be about 10000.

Kenosha Co. Men Invited to
Attend Rural Life Con-
ference at Madison
SEEK TO INTEREST MANY

With a view to improving the condi-
ton Of country life in the state, Dean
FL. T.. Russell of the college of agricul-
ture of the University of Wisconsin
has called a country life conference to
be held in Madison under the auspices
of the university on Feb. IA and Is.
The purpose is to bring together Wis
|consin farmers, teachers, ministers, ed
itors, business men and librarians to
discuss the social aspects of farm and
country life and to take up the i'm
provement that has been accomplished
by various agencies in the way of i'm
proving conditions.
In calling this meeting Prof. Rus
sell has taken another step toward
bringing the university into closer re-
lationship with the state. The agri-
cultural department at the present time
enjoys the reputation Of being the
most useful of any of the departments
It is the first time that meeting on
conditions in rural life has ever been
held in the west and is the first time
that any state university has under
taken the leadership in such a move
ment.
The two days. program will include
general discussions Of the social and
economic problems of country life in
the state. There will be round table
discussions and conferences on parti-
cular topics. The functions of the
church, the business men and farmers
organizations in relation to rural con-
ditions will be considered on Tuesday,
Feb. IA. The country school, the press
and the library will be the subjects
for discussion on Feb. Is.
Addresses by those who have had ac-
tual experience with conditions of ru-
raj life in Wisconsin will be a feature
of the meeting.
Dean Russell has sent out the follow
ing invitation to various people
throughout the state:
GA contented and intelligent rural
population is the true basis of per-
manent agriculture. 1t has to return
sufficient income to insure comforts
to home and family life consistent with
modern standards of life. The COM
munity life of the country must be such
as will amply satisfy the social life
of the countryman and his family.
s'The time appears propitious for a
conference on country life, which will
bring together those who have been
active in improving rural conditions
through the various agencies.
"Since this conference will occur
during the period of the ten day farm
ers' course at the college of agricul-
ture, those in attendance will have an
opportunity to hear the discussions of
the economic phases of agriculture as
presented with this course

TRADE AT HOME.

There is no. truer saying than thar
the good citizen spends his money
where he makes it and by so doing
helps TO build up his own city and by
increasing the business of his fellow
citizens increases his own chances of
success. This applies equally well to
the man working for wages as to the
man in trade for himself for there
can be no steady employment at good
wages for the workers where there is
no business done. The man who spends
only what he is absolutely obliged to
for the necessities of life in his, home
city and spends all the rest of his
money outside for his Injuries and
amusements is an undesirable citizen
IN the fullest meaning of the phrase.
He is a positive drain on the commun-
lty for he takes out more than he puts
back. And there is not the. slightest
necessity now for going out of Ken
osha for anything. A glance at the
advertising pages of this or any other
edition of the News is enough to con-
vince any one that every luxury, me-
cessity or convenience that the mind
of man can conceive of can be OBJ
tanned right here at home and at prices
as low or lower than it can be bought
anywhere else, quality considered and
from absolutely reliable firms. That
last consideration is worth thinking
about. Our own merchants are not out
to "catch" any trade on the fly with
shoddy goods. They are here to stay
and expect to be found at their regular
places of business by their customers
every business day in tie year and
they know that the future prosperity
OF their business depends on their
ability TO furnish merchandise to their
customers at fair margin of profit.
Can those who make flying trips out of
town to get rid of their cash say as
much for many of the people with
whom they are induced to do business
by the offer Of something for no
thingg" Is it not too often case of
the buyer matching 6is or her wits and
knowledge of workmanship and mater
lals against that of the seller with the
chances of the buyer getting the short
end of the dealg At lot of people have
returned from shopping expedition
to one of the neighboring cities or
received merchandise from one of the
mail order concerns only to find that
they could have purchased a better [
grade OF goods for the same money
right here at home. Kenosha has rsa-
son to be proud of her merchants and
business men. They are as broad
minded, liberal, and public spirited a
set OF men as any city can boast and
all they ask of the buying public is a
fair show and chance to demonstrate
that their goods and prices are right.

EBERT A CHAMPION.
Alexander Ebert Former Kenosha Bowl
er Wins Racine Championship.

Alexander Ebert, formerly Kenosha
bowler and at present a member of the
Elks bowling team in the Kenosha City
Bowling League won the championship
of Racine, on Monday when he defeated
Max Lau a Racine bowler in a five
game match by a score of 997 to 7S9.
Ebert had issued challenge to meet
any bowler in Racine for a purse of
$25 and Lau accepted the challenge.
Ebert rolled in great form in all the
games and Lau never had look in.
Ebert is now looking for further laur-
els and it is probable that he will
issue similar challenge for Kenosha
bowlers, If lie does it is certain that
he viii have his hands full as there
are a half a score of bowlers in Ken
osha who viii be ready to give him a
trial.
