A LIVING BEDROOM.

'loAlpSu quarters, so Wneu Marie,
whose fiat is the finest of them all,
invited me into her room while she
dressed, | prepared to sit on the cor
ner of a bed while she rummaged
dospairingly among her illhouaed be-
longings.
But Marie is ingenious, so things
were different The tiny room had
quite an airy feeling; there was g
chair for me.
"How's it done?" said l.
Chiefly by following what I call the
hanging doctrine said she. First
l turned out my washstand and all its
belongings. That made room for
larger set of drawers l have so many
drawers now that almost every sort of
undergarment has one to itself.
Then there was the dressing table.
To take it away seemed almost like
banishing the piano from drawing
room, but | did it, | had that big
|
having the mantelpiece widened into
the roomy shelf you see, and | hung
my dressing tools on the wall there"
This | had already noticed. Marie S
brush was in a little wall-pocket at
just the right height. Hand-mirror,
button-hook, pin-cushion and manicure
scissors each had their special nails,
and a clothes brush reposed in an
other wallrpocket On the mantel-
shelf were two trinket-boxes and a few
bottles.
Il had the walls colored in white,
so as to feel airy and show off my two
gay pictures. l stained and polished
the floor all over so that it would be
easily swept. The rug is brushed in
no time and I think my bedroom is
as clean as any.
But my wardrobe" said Marie, as
the browning triumph of ingenuity"
1t was quite a slender sort of ward
robe and looked as though it would
hold two frocks and a dressing gown,
but when | opened the door | seemed
to see a sort of index of all Marie's
wearable garments. There they were,
closely hanged on hangers, like the
readymade garments in big shops.
Marie had fixed a rod to hang hOri-
zontally a few inches below the shelf
which was across the top, and from
this rod were suspended a dozen or
so coat hangers. Each gown and coat
was easily found and unlocked, and
even though they were closely packed,
there was no danger of them coming
out in a crumpled stale. A cretonne
pocket wats fixed on the inside of the
wardrobe door. That's where | keep
my gloves" Marie explained. you
see, my slippers are in a row on the
floor, and my two hats--I never have
more than two-repose on the top
shelf
"Of course, it's not my ideal bed
ROOM" Marie wound up. That is
very long and low, and it has a soft
pink carpet all over the feecy white
rugs. And it has both a sunset win
dow and a morning one, and outside
there Is view of the sea. But l love
it,"

Sweet Making at Home

Homemade sweets are becoming in
creasingly popular and the enterpris-
ing woman may like to try her prem
tice hand on
Chocolate Nougat.
Take four ounces of blanched al
monds; six ounces of icing sugar, the
whites of two eggs; two ounces of
grated chocolate; two drops of vanilla
essence, and some almond oil.
Put the sugar, chocolate, and whites
of eggs into a lined saucepan, and
whisk them together till very stiff. Cut
each of the almonds into three pieces,
warm them slightly in the oven, and
stir them into the saucepan with the
other ingredients. Add vanilla essence,
let all get thoroughly hot, when turn
into tin which has been creased with
almond oil Smooth over with a knife
dipped in hot water, and when nearly
SET, cut in squares and pile in fancy
dishes.
Raspberry Caramels.
Put one pound of loaf sugar into a
saucepan with half a teacup of water,
and let it dissolve. Add two table
SPOONS of cream; one-half ounce of
butter, and a heaped tablespoon of
honey Bring all to boiling point ever
slow fire. Now boil rapidly for twen-
ty minutes, then drop a little of the
mixture into cold water, if it becomes
hard and brittle it is done. Remove
from fire, and when cool, stir in an
ounce of raspberry jelly Cor strained
juice of raspberry jam will do equally
weIO If not sufficiently pink, add
few drops of carmine, and pour out on
to a buttered tin. When nearly set,
mark in squares with the back of a
knife. These can readily be broken
apart when hard.
Walnut Roll.
Shell and skin twenty ounces of
Walnuts, and two ounces of Brazil
nuts and chop together finely. Put
one pound of icing sugar into basin,
add part of the white of one egg and
a little water, and stir thoroughly. Put
in part of the nuts, then more egg,
and so on till all ingredients are we'll
mixed. Stir in half teaspoon of al
mond fiavoring, and turn the mixture
which should be like a dry paste
on to a well-sugared marble slab Tor
back of dish) Knead it well, and
shape into a roll about three inches
thick, Set aside for twenty-four hours
till thoroughly dry, then cut in slices.

Pioneer Merchant Tailor of
the City Died Early
This Morning.
RESIDED HERE HALF CENTURY
(From Tuesdays Daily

Peter Zahnen, one of the oldest and
best known of the pioneer residents of
the North side of the city died at his
home on North Chicago street at an
early hour this morning. Death came
as a result of the natural breaking
down due to advanced age. Mr. Zahnen
was 50 years of age, and he had been in
feeble health since the death of his
wife little over a year ago. For the
past few weeks his condition has been
critical.
The deceased was native of Fliesen.
Germany where he was born, Feb. 2.
1880. In 1857 in Germany he was mar
ried to Miss Anna Mary Barge and with
his bride he sailed at once for America.
He settled in Kenosha in 1857 and had
since been a resident of the city. For a
long time Mr.. Zahnen was in the cloth.
ing business in Kenosha, but in more re-
cent years he had worked as NOR
chant tailor and had been EMPLOYED Nv
a number Of the leading clothiers Of
the city.
The deceased is survived by three
daughters, Mrs. Joseph Tack, Mrs. ".
A. Senne and Mrs. John B. Mayer Of
this city, and one son, Peter Zahnen
who is in the hotel business in Mime.

MAKE NEW PROTEST.
Real Estate Men Protest
Against Law for Taxa
ton Of Machinery.
MAY MAKE FIGHT IN COURTS

The recent ruling of the state COM
mission regarding the classification of
machinery in making assessments IN
der the income tax law is certain to
arouse the fighting spirit of realty men
as well as manufacturers. Court action
is the only solution Of various issues
certain to arise according to R. Bruce
Douglas of Milwaukee, for the past
three years secretary of the National
Association Of Real Estate exchanges.
The ruling that all machinery fas-
tened to the building in any way shall
be classified as realty and taxed with
the real estate will meet the objection
of building owners who rent to manu-
facturers who own all the machinery of
La plant, said Mr.. Douglas. 'SThe build
ing owner will be called upon to pay
taxes ON fixed machinery which be-
longs to the tenant. Naturally he will
object to paying taxes on property be-
longing to another. The only recourse
is the courts and that recourse will be
taken.
:" First the building owner will fight
the tax in the courts. IF the courts
rule that he shall pay the tax he will
seek to hold the property on tax title.
Ism t a tax title on one piece Of realty
as good as tax title on another? Then
more suits will follow between the ten
ant and the owner of the building as
the tenant will object to the settlement
according to laws governing tax titles
g It is plain that new form Of lease
lis necessary governing such conditions,
but that would not affect leases al
ready in force"
William George Bruce, secretary of
Milwaukee Merchants and Manufactur-
ers' association, speaking for manu-
facturers, also has predicted court ac-
lions on the same issues.

Fiat rate consumers Of the water
company have been warned by the sup
erintendent that they must observe the
sprinkling rules made by the commlss-
toner's and that the water will be cut
off without notice in cases where con-
sumers are found sprinkling out OF
hours. Most of the fiat rate consumers
are using lot more water than they
would if they were paying for 1t under
the meteA system and it is this waste
of water that the commissioners are
trying to check. With the present ca
pacity of the pumps it is not believed
that there is any danger Of a water
famine in any section of the city but
the water company is being put to the
expense of pumping much more water
than there is any actual need OF with
corresponding decrease in the net
earnings Of the company. Most of the
flat rate consumers carry the idea that
it is "small" business for the water
company to limit them in any way but
if the municipal company is to be kept
a profit earning concern such as it has
been since it was established, it will
have to be operated on a business basis,
All that those who wish to use more
water than they are permitted to under
the flat rate system have to do to get
all the water they want is to install a
meter and pay for exactly what they
get. The water commissioners are per-
foctly willing to increase the capacity
of the plant if necessary in order to
give consumers all the water. they want
provided they can collect for what is
pumped at the regular meter rates
which, by the way, are lower than in
most cities.

Would SAVE GIRLS CAUGHT IN CHICAGO.
C. Kellener Charged With
Stealing Mungen Horse
Taken Saturday Night.
BEL yIDERE HAS FIRST CLAIM

Charles Kellener was arrested in Chi
cage late Saturday night charged with
horse stealing Kellener is the man
who is alleged 80 have secured the
horse from the Mungen stables here on
Friday morning and the horse was re-
covered just after Kellener had been
placed under arrest and it was brought
back to Kenosha this morning. Kelle-
ner is alleged to have placed the horse
in stable on Elizabeth street in Chi
cago
Chief o 'Hare was one of the officers
present at the arrest of Kellener but he
failed to secure the prisoner for
trial in this county on account of the
fact that Sheriff w E. German and
Chief of Police James Downs Of Bel
videre, Ill.,, had prior claim on him.
The two Belvidere officials had been
trailing Kellener since the first of
May, but they failed to get line on
him until after Chief O'Hare and the
Chicago detectives got on the trail.
Early Saturday morning Chief O'Hare
We ut to Chicago and with Detective
John Cramer he began making search
of the stables in that city to locate the
Mungen horse. 1t was late in the al
ternoon when the horse and runabout
were found in the Elizabeth street
stable and the detectives then began a
long wait for their man.
They had left the stable when he
came in, but the men in charge man
fcers returned Detective Cramer was
armed with the warrant which had
been sworn out at Belvidere in which
Kellener was charged with having
stolen team there on May 1st The
Relvidere officers were in Chicago and
as soon as they found that Kellener was
under arrest they assisted in his being
taken to Belvidere. Chief O'Hare
recognized the prior claim of the Hi
nols officials and waived his claim TO
the man with the understanding that he
is to be turned over to Kenosha for
trial should the Belvidere officials fail
to secure conviction. A warrant for
the arrest of Kellener will be issued at
once and it will be held pending the
outcome of the trial of the man at Bel
videre.
Chief O'Hare declares that facts
brought out by the detectives Indicate
! that Kellener is an old offender and it
was alleged in Chicago Saturday night
| that he had stolen seven horses. Kel-
lener sought to make no defense and
consented to go with the officer to Bel
videre. He, however, was ready to
fight any move to take him to another
state for trial.

Members of New Commission to Have
Badges Of Office as Gift of City.

Members of the park commission and
the board Of health are to have badges
of their office as at the meeting of the
common council on Monday night the
city clerk was instructed to provide the
commissioners with proper insignia of
office. The badges will be in the form
of shield similar to those worn by
the mayor and the members of the
common council. The clerk will also
provide officials stars for the use of the
commissioner of health and the sanitary
inspector. These badges will be similar
to those worn by the members Of the
police department.

1t has been charged that since the
Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light
company got possession of the local
street railway company, the people en-
tering or leaving the city over the lines
of the Chicago and Milwaukee road
have been Disseminated against in the
service on the local lines; in other
words that people who prefer to use the
through lines not controlled by the COM
pany which operates the loeal line and
in competition with it, are put to as
much Inconvenience as possible in the
way in which the cars are operated on
the local line to and from the station on
the G. & NJ, that cars will leave the
station for down town just as the
through trains pull in and that the last
car on the local line frequently fails to
wait for the last through car at mid
night. The officials of the local line
vehemently deny these charges and de-
clare that their company is out for
business from every source; that their
instructions to their employees are to get
every nickle possible and people who
have made study of the situation
with view of taking case to the
state railroad commission if there is
any ground on which a complaint of I'M
fair methods can be based, are inclined
to side with them. 1t is fact that
complaints of poor service to and from
the G. & M. station on the west limits
of the city are no more numerous now
than they were when the local line was
operated by interests decidedly close
to the then owners of the local line. The
local cars are frequently off schedule
and will continue to be, so long as the
lines cross steam railway tracks at
grade, They miss connections with the
through cars now and then because the
motor men are held up at crossings.
The local street railway officials admit
that their employees may be at fault in
failing 20 wait for the last car on the
through line at night, but that is mat.
ter that can be easily remedied by a
little more attention TO business on the
part of the managers of the local line
They contend that most of the com.
plants against the service their road is
giving the people of the city arise from
the over anxiety of their employees ia
finish up the day s work and get back
to the barns when the through trains
are a little behind time, and it is their
business to see that the orders which
they claim have been given to meet the
last car on the through line are carried
out by the employees of the company
The managers of the local line have
declared to members of the council that
they propose to do everything in theil
power to remove all grounds for com
plant on the service given 1.-THE people
Of the city and if their performances in
that line are as good as their promises
the patrons of the c. & M. will have an
easier time in the future than they
have ever had.

Agent of Douglas Ave. Club
Opens Branch of Work
of Organization Here.
TO SEEK OUT MISSING GIRLS
Mrs. Freda c. Runner Comes to Keno
sha to Take Up Problem of Seeking
Girls Lured From City and Taken In
to Chicago for Immoral Purposes.

Mrs. Freda C. Runner of Chicago, one
of the field agents of the Douglas
Avenue Neighborhood Club, a club en-
gagged in the work OF saving young girls
has come to Kenosha and will make an
indefinite stay in the city investigating
conditions here as they relate to the
conditions surrounding some of the red
light districts in Chicago Mrs Run
ner is seeking to interest Kenosha peo-
pie in the work of the organization and
she declares that it is work that Ke-
nosha people should take a special in
terest in on account of the fact that
many of the girls come from the north
shore territory.
"We can say without any doubt that
Kenosha is not exempt from the raw
ages of the traffickers in young girls, -
said Mrs. Runner, "and every year this
city in common with other cities with
in the radius of fifty miles of Chicago
is contributing many young women to
the places in Chicago. We are trying
to save these girls and we are trying
to interest parents of other girls in the
work as WE'LL We aim to make the
work of our organization directly help
full to the people of Kenosha. The
young girl who gets into the clutches
of the "white slavers'' has little
chance to escape and she is often hard
ened in life of shame before her
parents and other relatives become
aware of what has become of her. In
many Of the smaller cities girls disap-
pear and no one is able to find them.
We know it to be fact that many of
these girls find their way to Chicago
and they are taken there by agents of
the men and women who traffic in these
young girls. We go into cities and seek
out list of girls who are missing. In
many cases no report of these girls be-
ing missing has been made to the reg
ular police departments. We look es-
pecially after certain women who make
it their business to go out into these
cities and pick up girls. The work of
the club is entirely of confidential
nature and we seek to get the girls
back to their homes and friends with.
out unnecessary publicity. The work
has been blessed with large measure
of success and there are many girls in
happy homes today who were rescued
from lives in Chicago"
| Mrs. Runner is calling on leading of
fcials Of the city and she will take UP
her work with the district attorney and
act as an aid to him in any cases that
he may have under consideration
Records of the police department show
that quite number of young girls have
| disappeared from Kenosha in the past
/ few years and in some cases no trace
of them has ever been found. 1t is also
we'll known fact that agents of the
white slave business in Chicago have
worked in Kenosha for years and that
this city and the surrounding territory
| has been fertile recruiting ground
for these agents.
