ence of large company of friends
and relatives of the contracting
parties. The bride was given away
by her father. She was attended by
Miss Theresa Lauer, a sister of the
groom. Julius Dagenbach, a brother
of the bride, was the best man. Fol
lowing the impressive ceremony at the
church, wedding breakfast was serv-
ed at the Dagenbach home on Milwau-
kee avenue, at which covers were laid
for forty people, the guests being linn
tied to members of the families of the
contracting parties. Mr.. and Mrs.

THIRD WARD IS UNWIELpLY
New Plan Would Seek to Change Lines
Rather Than to Increase Number Of
K Wards in City-Bristol to Rush In
corporation Plan This Summer.

Members of the common council are
being urged by people from all parts
of the city to take up the proposition
of making new ward lines in the city
and it is expected that the new valua-
tion that is now being made by the
assessors will show the demand for a
The assessors have discovered that the
third ward Of the city is just about as
large as the three north wards of the
city and the council is now being
urged to see the necessity of making a
new division Of the city in order that
the people may have proper represen-
tation on the common council. Just as
soon as the figures of the assessors are
ready they will be presented to the
aldermen with the suggestion that an
ordinance be passed providing for a re-
districting.
It is not known what sort of re-
ception such an ordinance will be given
by the council. The people in the vii
lage of Bristol are now engaged In
plans for the incorporation of that
village and while it is not expected
that incorporation win be completed in
time to give the town of Bristol added
representation on the county board this
year it is thought certain that by the
time the board meets in 1913 that the
rural members will have the controlling
vote If something is not done to in
crease the representation on the board
from the city. Even with the possibil-
ity of the county board being controll-
ed by the towns many of the members
of the council are opposed to any in
crease in number Of wards in the city
as they hold that the common council
at this time is a sufficiently unwieldly
body and the suggestion is that the
city when e-districted be left with
the same number of wards, but that
the ward lines be changed so as to
give more equitable representation.
The present ward lines were made
more than ten years ago and>since they
were made the city has almost doubled
in population. Most of this increase
has been on the south and west sides
of the city with the exception of the
added territory taken in to the north
of the city this year. 1t is thought
that the REIMBURSEMENT of the ward
lines would place two instead of three
wards on the north side of the city
and that the lines would be drawn so
as to put more territory into the first
and second wards and relieve the big
third and fourth wards by making a
new ward out of the same territory.
The matter will be brought before
the council in an informal manner to
test the feeling of the aldermen, but
before any redistricting ordinance is
passed it is probable that the plan sug-
gested, to refer the matter to the vote
of the people, will be carried out

SIDNEY JONES A BENEDICT.
Well known Contractor Married to
Miss Anna Jackson on Monday.

MISS Anna jackson on MONDAY.
There was a quiet little wedding
ceremony at the office of Judge Ran
dali in the municipal court building at
o'clock Monday afternoon when
Miss Anna Jackson, niece of Thomas
Jackson became the bride Of Sidney
NJ. Jones, the well known carpenter
contractor of the city. The ceremony
was performed by Judge Randall in
the presence Of very few friends Of
the contracting parties. Tie bride was
given away by her uncle. The ar
rangements for the marriage had been
made with so much secrecy that even
the immediate friends and relatives of
the bride and groom were not aware
of the facts until after they had left
for Twin Lakes where they are spend
ing their honeymoon. They will re-
turn to Kenosha the first Of next week
and will make their home at the Jones
residence at Selma. The announce
ment of the marriage will come as a
great surprise to the friends of both
the bride and groom, but-they will be
assured cordial reception on their
return to Kenosha the first Of next
week.

OFFICIALS OPPOSE PETITION
L. Weaver Serving Year Term at
Waupun and Anna Magdolen Serving
10 Months Also Ask that Officials
Recommend Their Release.

Recalling the most sensational case
of a criminal nature ever tried in Ke-
nosha county Albert Koch, a Kenosha
man now serving three year term at
the state prison at Waupun, he's applied
to Municipal Judge Randall to recon-
mend that he be released on parole.
Koch was sent to prison after he had
pleaded GUILTY" to being an aces
sorry to the crime of adultery. He was
sentenced in November 1910 and at that
time several other counts of similar
nature had been urged against him.
The story of the Koch case was most
sensational. Facts brought out showed
that Koch had deliberately sold his
wife, Alma Koch, girl still in her
teens, into life of shame and the de-
tails of the case were of most SEN
sational nature. Koch at the time APP
peared to be very penitent and he APP
peared as witness for the state
against half a dozen other people who
were arrested on various charges con-
nected with the case. At the time he
was brought into court for sentence he
declared that he would not ask for
parole. Some time after Koch had been
sent to prison his wife, who was before
her marriage member of well known
family in the city, appeared in court
and secured divorce.
Koch has been model prisoner since
he went to the state prison, but Judge
Randall declared today that he would
refuse to make any recommendation for
the parole of Koch and that he was of
the opinion that the man should serve
every day of his sentence. 1t is ex-
pected that the district attorney will
take a similar view and it is not
thought that Koch will be paroled. The
prisoner was member of well known
family in the county and it is under
stood that his relatives have been ac-
tive in seeking his release on parole.
Judge Randall has also received no.
tice that Louis Weaver and Anna Mag
dolen, other Kenosha prisoners at the
Waupun institution, have asked for
paroles. Weaver was sentenced 10
term OF three years by Judge Randall
in 1910 after he had pleaded guilty to
charges of adultery. At the time there
were some circumstances Of the case
that appealed to the court and it is
not improbable that he will recommend
clemency for Weaver. Weaver has
wife and child in Kenosha and he is
anxious to be released from prison that
he may provide for their support. He
has written several letters to the judge
assuring him that if released he will
care for his wife and child.
Anna Magdolen was sent to prison
Aug. II, 1917 for a term of Is months.
She was foreigner and pleaded guilty
to statutory charge. The woman will

piles at the plant of the N. R. Allen
Sons Company. The woman is said not
to have appreciated the ofense she had

parole will also be recommended by the
Judge and the district attorney. The
state hoard will act on all the petitions
the latter part of this month.

Waukegan Man Awarded
Contract for building of
Settling Well Here.
TO IMPROVE WATER SERVICE
Board of Water Commissioners to Stop
Use of Fire Hydrants by the Sprink-
ling Contractors and Council Will be
Asked to Pass New Ordinance.

The board of water commissioners
of the city has let the contract for the
building of the proposed concrete set
Ting well to Charles Payne Of Wau-
kegan, and the contract price for the
well is $500. The contract includes
not Only the building of the well, but
the furnishing of all the equipment
for it and the work is to be started at
once in order to have the Well COM
pleted by the latter part of the sum-
inforced concrete It will have TWEEN
| ty-four inch walls and the top will be
reinforced with steel. The capacity
of the we'll will be more than four
times the capacity of the present well
| and it is expected that the new well
will take care Of the demands of the
city for many years. There were four
bids for the contract. Ben Leutritz,
the only local bidder, asked $7,100,
and the other bids were John Green
Chicago, $7,182; McCugo Bullock com
pany, Waukegan, ST., 480. It is thought
that the completion of the well will
aid materially in furnishing better
water for the city. The well will be
located on the city lot at the foot of
Market street and it will be thirty
| feet in diameter.
The board has issued an iron clad
order against the use Of fire hydrants
| by contractors engaged in sprinkling
streets of the city and the city coun-
Gil has been asked to pass an ordi-
nance making it an offense for any
person to open fire hydrant without
first securing permit from the water
| department. It is planned to charge
| twenty cents for these permits and
| the superintendent of the water COM
pany will arrange certain hydrants
which the sprinkling contractor will
be permitted to use. These will be fit
ted with special taps for the use of
the contractors. Fire Chief Isermann
appeared before the board and de-
manded that something be done at
once to stop the indescriminate use
of the fire hydrants for spIinkling the
streets. He declared that as result
| of this use Of the hydrants the
threads on some Of the taps had been
so cut as to make it impossible to at
| tach fire hose and that the hydrants
were for this reason practically worth
less for fire purposes. Some time ago
an effort was made to have special hy-
drants put in for the use of the
Isprinkling contractors, but this was
opposed by members Of the council
and the sprinkling contractors have
| been permitted to continue in their
use of the fire MIGRANTS.
1t is probable that the council will
again be asked to provide these spe-
cial hydrants, and it is possible that
action on this suggestion will be taken
at the next meeting Of the council.

Manager Paul Keine of the Geor-

gether an exhibit for the Atlanta
Land Show, which will be held week
Of November 25. An exhibit at this
show would be the very best kind of
advertising for Brunswick and Glynn
county and Mr.. Keine should receive
the support of all who are in posi-
tion to furnish any exhibit needed.
Glynn county was not represented at

Early Peace Seems Assured.

London, Nov. 15.-Announcement
that the Bulgarians had reached XII
lios lifts a corner of the veil which
has been battling observers regarding
the movements of the victorious in
vaders in front of the Ottoman capi-
tai.
Their appearance at Kilios shows
that they are now in close proximity
to Therapia, the summer resort OF
Constantinople residents.
Early peace in the Balkans seems
assured, but whether it will eventu-
ate without the surrender of Constan-
tinople, probably is known only to
King Ferdinand and his advisers. If
the Bulgarians at Kilios are in very
strong force there remains small
doubt that if Ferdinand's soldiers de-
termine to enter the capital they
soon can take possessions.
Differences between Servia and
Aastria-Hungary over an Adriatic
porpt seems in a fair way toward
settlement. But Montenegro att-
tude in declining to relinquish any OF
the spoils of. war is causing some
concern.

At Bosphorus Entrance.

SOnstantinople, Nov 15.- bulgarian
sroops have reached the vicinity of
Kaiios, on the Black Sea coast at
the entrance to the Bosphorus and
within few miles of the capital.
Fhe men belonging to the Turkish
kfe boat station have left.
Tke cholera epidemic among the
FaTkish troops holding the line OF
tcstifcations at Tchatalja in front or
eeRstantinople, is rapidly becoming
worse Over 500 cases are reported
,s&ily, and the totatl number already
exceeds 5000.
Whatever hopes the Turks may
h&ge had of maintaining the line OF
aedenses at Tchatapal have been dis
sipated by the outbreak of the dis
ease. 1.s. s.,a.
An eyewitness declared that he
saw 263 @corpses buried in one big
trench at Hademkeui, headquarters
Of the Turkish commander in chief,
on Tuesday. The bodies were drag
aeS to the spot on hooks and dropped
int the trench, which was not nearly
deep enough for. the purpose, the COW
eFing OF earth being very shallow.
While cholera is undermining the
Turkish defenses, it also constitutes
q formidable opponent to the Bulgar-
ian advance, and it is generally be-
Ieved here that the outbreak has
disposed of the question of even a
temporary occupation of Constantine
pie by the Bulgarian troops. 1t is
thought unlikely that King Ferdinand
OF Bulgaria will risk the lives OF his
soldiers in this way if he can avoid
it.
Ii is stated on good authority that
cholera already has appeared among
the Bulgarian troops. This would not
be at all surprising inasmuch as they
occupy the positions where the dis
ease claimed it's first Turkish vic
tiE0s.
