REALIZE FROM SALE OF LOTS
Use Of Waste Ground in the Cemetery
Promises to Bring Large Revenue to
the sociation-Assets Total Over
S14,ooOs

Frank Fl. Lyman, Secretary Of the
Kenosha Cemetery Association has filed
with the County Judge, in keeping with
the provisions Of the state laws the
annual financial report of the Kenosha
Cemetery association. The report COW
ers the period from Jan. 10, 1910 to
Jan. 8, 1911 and it shows that the as
sociation is in very good condition
and that steady progress is being made
toward the completion of fund
which will provide for the perpetual
care of the cemetery. The report shows
that the total assets of the association
at this time are $14,34O.81. Of this
amount $4,000 is invested in first
mortgage notes with the Northwest
ern Loan and Trust company every
loan of the association being secured
by property of double the value of the
amount of the loan and the remainder
of the fund amounting to $440.81 is in
cash and held for the running expenses
of the cemetery.
The fund has grown materially in
the past year. The plan of the officials
of the Cemetery association in elimin-
ating a lot of the useless and unused
road ways in order to find ground
which may be sold for lots has been
very successful one and the report
of the secretary shows that during the
year the amount realized from the sale
of lots reached the high total of 81
425.00. At the close Of the former
year there was on hand $7223.90 and
the amount remaining was brought in
from interest on mortgage loans and
the gifts for perpetual care made by
people owning lots in the cemetery.
Every cent of the $4,000 appropriate
ed by the city for the maintenance of
the cemetery has been expended on the
work of keeping the cemetery in order
and in addition to this it has been
necessary to draw on the funds for
perpetual care in order to carry out
some of the plans of the directors of
the association. Many people in the
city have not as yet made any contri-
buttons to the fund for the improve,
ment Of the cemetery but it is certain
that during the coming months this
fund will be largely increased. The
plans for the building of the walls
about the cemetery are being taken up
again and it is probable that some of
these permanent improvements will be
made during the coming year The of
feers of the association are giving a
great deal of time to the work and the
money of the people is being expended
in a manner to bring the best possible
results.

LAST DAY FOR TAXES
Assistants Of City Treas. Start
in Last Day of Collection
With a Great Rush
MORE THAN 100000 OUT

To-day was the last day for the pay
ment of the city taxes and when AS
sistant City Treasurer Miss Grace Mat
thews opened the window of her Office
this morning there still remained more
than $125,000 to be collected Of the
city tax levy. Long before the First
National bank opened for business cit
liens anxious to pay taxes had lined
up on the side walk in front of the
bank and from the minute the doors
were opened until late this afternoon
there was long line of people wait
ing to settle with the city. It is of
course a physical impossibility for the
treasurerls assistants to make the col
lection of all the money out but it is
expected that the receipts for the day
will amount to more than $4,000.
Thousands of dollars in the form of
checks were received during the day
and these checks were laid aside in a

the property owners later. The people
were slower this year in paying taxes
than in any previous year and it is
pretty certain that there is still $751;
600 to be collected The law makes it
impossible for the time of the payment
of the taxes to be extended but it is
expected that delinquents will have q
few days Of grace as it will take that
long to close up the city's books and
taxes will be received without extra
interest charges until the books are
ready to be turned over to the county
treasurer. As the amount out is I'M
usually large the treasurer is expecting
large amount of delinquent taxes
this year but it is possible that the
great number of the tax payers will
get around and settle before the books
Nare turned over.

Man Said to be Kenosha Resi-
dent Loses Fight for For
tune Left by Mrs. Tenley
END OF SENSATIONAL CASE

George H. Clark who is said to be a
resident of the city of Kenosha but
whose name does not appear in the
city directory lost a fight for fortune
of $4,000 III the Circuit court at Gales
burg, H., on Saturday afternoon when
the jury which heard the case handed
down verdict setting aside the will
of the late Sarah A. Tenley formerly
wealthy woman Of Galesburg In
the will the alleged Kenosha man had
been named as the principal heir to
the estate. The contesting heir under
the will was Mrs. Edith Tenley Norton
of Chicago, who was formerly the wife
of Clark and who was divorced from
the Kenosha man some time ago. In
her suit to have the will set aside Mrs.
Norton charged her former husband
with exerting an undue influence over
her mother by which he succeeded in
having her make a will in his favor
Mrs. Norton was given a legacy of
$500. Clark at the conclusion of the
case announced that he would seek a
new trial alleging that one of the
members of the jury had firted with
Mrs. Norton during the trial and that
the jury had been permitted to eat
dinner in the same hotel with Mrs. Nor
ton. a few minutes before the verdict
was rendered. The former wife of
Clark charged him with having improp-
er relations with his mother-in-law and
claims that as result of these rela-
tions he influenced her to make a will
in his favor.
Efforts have been made to solve the
mystery in regard to the identity of
Clark but if he is resident of Ken
osha as stated in the dispatches his
name does not appear in any of the
city directories. It is thought possible
that he resides in one of the outlying
towns Of the county.

The most noticeable thing in archi-
lecture and building at the present
time is the popular interest seen on
all sides in regard to the planning and
designing of houses, especially those
in suburban and country neighbor-
hoods. The American Home" has al
ways been more than a tradition, and
this home we always think of as be-
ing located in the country or in the
outskirts of the old home village. At
the present time We are Just in the
midst of a revival of domestic archi-
lecture, especially in regard to sub
urban building. The dwelling house
that Is at once comedy and convenient
seems likely to become the typical
house of rural America, and even in
the towns the leaven has begun to
work.
1t is apt to be in the country rather
than the town that this worthier type
of domestic architecture f1ourishes.
The town house Is apt to be cramped
by the narrowness of its site. by the
limitations of its outlook, by the build
ing line and by the character of the
netghboring houses. 1t may in itself
be an excellent piece of work, but the
surroundings are not favorable to It.
In the country, conditions favor the
architect, not by making his task an
easy one, but by investing it with in

wedged in between existing houses
and gardens on three sides and a road
way on the fourth, an architect may
indeed exhibit skill in minimizing the
Inherent defect Of the site. but
1t is not surprising that he should
feel little enthusiasm for such a task.
AS matter of fact, he is seldom call
ed upon to undertake it.; still the
owners and builders commonly con-
slider that there is little call for the
special skill of the architect in dealing
with these commonplace city condi-
tons.
In the country, on the other hand,

hhomelike comfort and cheer of a room
of this kind with the entire family

hearth of winters night, cannot be
overestimated.

unusual in a house of this size, The
kitchen is well placed for convenient
housekeeping. On the second floor
four good sized bedrooms are pro4

room and an abundance of clothes

This is a gambrel roof house, slight
ly colonial in design. 1t presents a
dignified and attractive appearance,
and at the same time is economical ia
build. The estimated cost of this
house is $4,000.

INTRODUCTORY DECREE HIT
Forty-seven Divorce Cases Called Into
Question by Failure of Litigants to
Ask That Final DEGREES be Entered
For Them.

At the suggestion of Judge E. B
Belden and the attorneys of the Ken
osha county bar Clerk of the Circuit
court Benz. M. DeDeimar has collected
statistics in regard to all divorce cases
which have been heard in the Circuit
court since the new law went into eff
feet in June, 1909. At that time the
courts began the issuance of interloc
utory DEGREES and in keeping with the
holdings of the Supreme court all di-
vorces granted since that~time are sub
ject to review before the decree be-
comes absolute. Attorneys expect that
there will be a lot of complications as
a result of the workings of this law
and it is certain that many Divorces in
kenosha county are not aware of the
steps that must be taken to have the
DEGREES of divorce made absolute. II
is known that some of the parties con
nected with these suits have married
in this and other states and it is de-
clared that these people are liable tu
arrest and prosecution and that the
marriages contracted before the de-
cFees were made final are invalid. The
records OF the clerk of the court show
that forty seven divorce cases are af
fected by the law and of this number
not one petition has been filed to have
the decree of divorce made absolute
Judge Belden took up the matter at
his own initiative and it is understood
that he will seek to render a service to
these people by having the attorneys
interested in the cases take up the mat
ter with their clients and make an eff
fort to clear up the records in each
case. This will mean vast amount of
work as IN some of the cases the par.
ties at interest left Kenosha and Ken,
osha county as soon as the preliminary
decree was entered and they have new
er returned to the jurisdiction of the
court. A bill is now pending in the
legislature to repeal the provisions fo1
the interlocutory decree and in place
to have law passed providing for the
same kind Of a decree but with the pro.
vision that it automatically becomes
final at the end of the year unless the
case is reopened by one of the parties
at interest in the proceeding. The
statistics collected in this county will
be sent to Madison to be used in urc.
ing the passage of this bill and it is
certain that the legislature will take
some action along the lines proposed
in the bill.
The bar of Kenosha county is unan.
imous in the belief that this provision
should be made for the protection of
litigants in the divorce courts. In the
meantime it is probable that Judge
Belden and the members of the bar
will find some way to relieve condi-
lions and furnish a protection for di-
vorcees who have acted in good faith
but who from failure to understand
the provisions of the law have not TAX
en- the steps necessary to have the de
crees as entered made absolute.
