they would meet in Kenosha and be

mention of the proposed marriage to the
people at home. The bride and groom
were perfectly frank with the Judge
and assured him that the marriage
would be surprise. They were both Of
the legal age and the Judge declared
that he could see no reason why the
ceremony should not take place. After
the explanations have been made Mr..
and Mrs. Peterson viii make their

MANY SEEK IMPORTATION.
Wisconsin People Seem to be Taking
Interest in Suffrage Question.

Information on woman suffrage was
sought by more people than on any other
subject during the last year, as shown
by the number of package libraries
asked for by people throughout the
state. These package libraries con-
tanning information on any subject de-
sired, are sent out free of charge to
any citizen of the state by the ex-
tension division of the University of
Wisconsin.
During the eighteen months period
that ended October first, 238 package
libraries on woman suffrage were sent
out, as compared with ia sent out on
the income tax, the next most popular
subject. There were 107 calls for IL
braries on commission form Of govern
ment; 65 on the initiative and refer
endum; and SO on parcels post.
That many of the smaller cities and
towns of the state are showing the
greatest interest in vital questions of
the day is demonstrated by the fact
that Prairie du Chen, Edgerton, Rice
Lake, Pepin, Rewey and St. Francis,
were among the first ten places in
Wisconsin, from which the largest
number of calls for package Libraries
were received.

MAUD POWELL HERE
Famous Viohnist Plays Be
fore Large Audience on
tuesday Evening.
MUSICAL EVENT OF SEASON

Maude Powell, the greatest~of wom-
en- violinists, made her first appearance
in Kenosha On Tuesday evening and
played before large and representa-
tive audience Of Kenosha music low
ers at the Rhode Opera House. The
recital proved the musical event of the
season in Kenosha and memories of
Madame Powell's playing will long
remain in the minds Of the people Of
Kenosha. She plays with such ease
and grace that her recital was flaw
less display of her art. Madame
Powell need ask no indulgence on ac
count of her sex for she draws a bow
as steady and as true as any one Of
her masculine colleagues and unites
in her playing the strength and
virility of man with the refined
sentiment of the woman. 1t is a rare
combination of the artistic and the
human and this is in a great measure
the charm of her playing. Her tone
is large and sensuous, she phrases
beautifully and has a fine sense of
rythm. She gave the idea that she
loved the work she was engaged in
and her gracious response to the hearty
encores was one of the notable feat
ures of the recital.
The program selected by Madame
Powell was one particularly suited to
the Kenosha audience. There was just
one heavy number, the three move
ments of the Concerto in A minor by
Bach and the remainder If the pro-
gram was made up Of familiar music.
Her playing of the Hungarian Dance
by Brahms awakened the first real en-
thusiasm of the evening, the Schubert
Ave Marie was played with fullness
of tone which made it most appealing
and the dainty little Minuet Of Schu-
bert was given with such rare execu-
ton that the artist was forced to re-
spond 20 two encores on It and she
played it as the closing encore Of the
program. Of course the {. Meditatio1' =
from That's, proved q favorite with
the big audience and the Massenet
music was never played wiki greater
charm in Kenosha.
Madame Powell was assisted in her
recital by Thomas " Musgrove, y pi-
anist and his two solos during the
program, the Vafse Ballet ~ Chami-
made and the Chopin PoIonaise, were
a distinct addition to the program.
Mr.. Musgrove played with wonderful
technique and while some Of the mem
bers Of the audience would have ap-
preciated other selections Of a more

W. Tempes of Clark county, Washing
ton asking that he be furnished with

Brothers in Chicago. None of the facts
in regarl to the charge of bigamy have

SEEK BELL AS FORGER.
Man Formerly Employed in Kenosha
Sought by Milwaukee Officials.

The police of the city have received

Claims aggregating 100000 were
fled in the county court on Tuesday
afternoon against the estate of the late
| Charles Durkee and for the first time
the certificates issued to raise money
for the long fight on the claims of the
men that the former United States SEN
ator had vast sum coming from the
United States government were made
public. The claims three in number
are fled by men from Champaign coun-
ty, ILL.,, and they are all based on agree
ments made with them by Leonard G.
Rlaisdell the former Champaign at
torney who for years was the prime
mover in the effort to get the vast sum
from the government. 1t is known that
hundreds of these certificates were
sold but up to the present no effort had
been made to collect them. A dozen Of
the certificates most Of them bearing
dates in 1895 and 1896 have been fled
as verifcation of the claims. The GER
tifcates showed that the people putting
in the money for the fight for the col
lection of the alleged claims were TAX
ing hundred to one shot, but in some
cases special favors were shown to in
vestors and they were promised returns
of even greater proportion. For the
first time the total amount of the
'fDurkee Claim is made public and it
is shown that the amount alleged to be
coming to the Durkee heirs was $780,
00S soc. All certificates ISIS tej arc for
the proportionate sum Of tine total col
lection as compared with the amount
specifically promised in the certificate.
The men in Kenosha fling the claims
include George L. Maxwell, William NJ.
Farmer, Alfred Thomas Dunn and
James NJ Mitchell. All of the men are
residents of Champaign county and
they have made verified complaints of
the amount they have coming from the
estate. The largest claim which is one
of $10,000,000 is fled by VIM. M. Far
mer. In his bill he asserts that he paid
$500 to Attorney BlaisdelI and that in
return he was to receive fortune of
100000 on the settlement of the
famous claims. The total of the claims
fled by Maxwell is $6,145,5OO. This
al, al
himself who put up $500 with prom
Use of 100000 when the ship came
in; A. H. Byan and George Maxwell
who invested with the understanding
that they were to receive $3,000,O 900,
Thomas J. Platengale of Champaign
who put in $25 with the understanding
that he should get $4,000 and one for
Maxwell in which he gave $25 for a
million dollar certificate. A. j. and NJ
E. Starkey of Champaign put in $50
early in the game and for this they
are slated to receive $4,000 on the set
tlement of the claims. Charles J. Max
well had a like claim. Alfred Thomas
Dunn, Nancy j. Dunn and James NJ.
Mitchell invested $500 with the prom
Use of million.
From looking over the complaints it
seems that Balisdell had planned to
make Cha mpaign county a county Of
millionaire and it indicated that many
other claims Of people in that section
are yet to be fled against the estate.
Judge Taylor treated the claimants
with every possible consideration, but
gave them to understand that the
chance of collecting their claims was
decidedly remote.
