To MEET TWO TEAMS
Local Debaters Must Fight
Hard to Win the State
Honors This Year.
BELOIT and GAINESVILLE next

Kenosha high school debaters, who
recently won against Racine by mar
gin of four points to two, will be kept
busy during the month of February
as the local debaters are now in the
running for state honors. Before they
can win the state honors they must
defeat the debating teams of the
GAINESVILLE and Beloit schools. James
vile and Beloit recently met, but at
the meeting each won three Of the six
possible points and this makes the
finish in the state league a triangular
affair. The Kenosha debaters will
meet the debaters from both GAINESVILLE
and Beloit and the night for the meet
ing will be February 25rd. On that
night the. debaters of the GAINESVILLE
high school will defend the negative
side of the woman suffrage question
against the team from the Kenosha
high school representing the Affirmative.
The Beloit affirmative team will meet
the Kenosha negative team in Kenosha
and the GAINESVILLE Affirmative team
will meet the Beloit negative team at
Beloit. : Following this round Of de-
bates the winners will have one more
meeting and debate will be held in
each Of the winning cities the latter
part of March The members of the
Kenosha team have started active work
again to get into condition to meet the
GAINESVILLE and Beloit teams and it is
declared that the local debaters will
profit from their meeting with the Ra
cine team and will have much better
argument to put up at the coming de-
bates. a great interest is being AIKEN
in the debates and it IS certain that
quite crowd of Kenosha rooters will
accompany the Kenosha team to James
vile next month.

TO CUT OUT SNOW SHOvELING
Sun to Be Given Chance to Take Care
of Snow Along the Curbs of Paved
Streets for a Time at Least-Tax
Payers Protest Against Such Labor.


The city is getting economical and
1T Is announced this morning that all
the men On the various street gangs
will be laid off until further notice.
The men on the west and north divi-
sions were laid off on Tuesday and
those on the south division are slated
to be laid off today.
Many complaints are being received
on account of the fact that the CITY is
expending money for the removing of
snow from the streets as the tax pay
ers kicking declare that this work is
of absolutely no value to the property
owners of the city and that it costs
the city lot of money. The amount
of this kind of work done this year is
not as great as has been done in other
years and only a few of the men have
been kept at work on the snow.
The property owners have no obiec-
ton to the expenditure of the money
Of the city in removing the snow from
crossings, but when the men are kept
at work shoveling snow from the eurbs
to the center of the streets it looks
like a useless waste of money. This
work is being defended by some of the
members of the council, they claiming
that all of the larger cities spend vast
sums each year in the removal of the
snow from the streets. 1t is evident
from the complaints being received
that The city of Kenoshss has aot reach
eu that class OF cities whore such work
can be done with the property owners
not registering complaints.
One of the main arguments made in
support of this sort of work is the
fact that the men employed might de-
mand aid from the city if they did
not remain in the employ of the street
department during the winter months
Most of these men are single men and
for the most part they are employed
by the city about ten months in the
year. A glance at the pay rolls of
the city shows that these men lose little
time during the working days and they
are paid wages that are about as great
as those paid to the same class of
workmen in the factories. 1t is hard
to see how these men could become
burdens on the city under the circum-
stances. Men employed in the fac
tories are not employed when the fac
tories are shut down and the pay of
the street men is large enough to
make it possible for them to take care
of themselves even if they are forced
to be idle for couple of months dur
ing the year.

TO CLEAN UP RECORDS.
People Divorced Under Old Laws Urged
to Get Final DEGREES.

Final efforts are being made TO
have the divorce records cleaned up
and to this end letters are being sent
not only to attorneys, but also to PEG
pie directly interested in divorce ac-
tions instructing these people to secure
final DEGREES in divorce actions where
interlocutory DEGREES were granted be-
fore the new law went INTO effect last
June. There are still twenty men and
women and some of them residents of
the county who are interested in the
final disposition of these DEGREES. Some
of these people are known to have
married in other states and these peo-
pie do not seem to care whether any
action is taken to make the DEGREES
final or not. The attorneys in such
cases are ready to take up the work
and get the final DEGREES without cost,
but they find that it is impossible for
them to get hold of the litigants. It
is expected that in future years these
twenty divorce actions will bring
clouds on property titles the county.
The status of the people connected
with these cases is exactly the same
as it was before they went into the
divorce court as the interlocutory de-
crees do not in any way affect the rela-
tions unless they are made permanent
at the end of the year. All over the
state active campaigns are being made
to have this class of divorce actions
closed up and it is claimed that the
number of cases still pending in Ke-
nosha county is greater than in any
county in the state with the exception
of Milwaukee.

His subject was CHOW We Are

the course of his lecture, Ries spoke
of the present banking system, the
immense profits earned by the banks,
and the, "Wild cat' schemes of many

schemes tried in order to increase the

He spoke of the Aldrich bill, and
declared that would not only fail
to remedy the present defects of the
system, but would work, he said, only
greater harm to the working people,
due to the fact that it would centralize
the money power of the country in the
hands Of $50 banks, much smalle.

| He also spoke on the public owner,

a chart, to show what benefits would be

Many Friends Are Here to Extend
Congratulations.
(From Wednesdays Daily

Fifty years ago this morning at
Hanover, Germany, occurred the marri-
age of former Assemblyman George III.
Kroncke and Miss Augusta Grothman
and today at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Kroncke on JENNIE street
many of their relatives and friends
gathered to aid themtn celebrating the
golden anniversary Of their marriage.
Among the fifty relatives and friends
that came to offer congratulations and
partake of the festivities of the day
there were none more active than the
bride and groom of fifty Years ago.
In celebration of the event the Kron-
cke home was beautifully decorated
with plants and cut flowers and every
member of the Kroncke family was at
the home Preside for the day. At noon
family reunion was held and in addi-
tion to the members of the family there
were present forty close personal
friends and relatives of Mr.. and Mrs.

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Kroncke were ma
tives Of Germany, but both have spent
the greater part Of their life in Keno

riage they came to this country and
settled on a farm in the town Of Ran
dali where they resided until seventeen
years ago when they came to Kenosha.

Mr.. Kroncke has taken an active
part in the affairs Of Kenosha county
during his long residence in the

er among the Democracy of the county
and few Democrats in the county are
better known throughout the state. Mr..
Kroncke was elected member OF the
assembly in 1892 and served during the
next two years. His record as mem
Der of the lower body Of the legislature
is one of the best given to the credit
of any representative of the district.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kroncke have three
children all of whom were present at
the reunion today and with them came
five children Of the third generation.
The children are George Kroncke,
well known attorney at Madison;

sha called to extend their congratula-
tions.
