In the county court this morning
Judge Taylor handed down formal
order committing Mamie Schaffer, 20
years of age, to the state home for
the feeble minded at Chippewa Falls.
The girl was arrested short time
ago following alleged sensational re-
lations with her brother, Matt Schaf-
fer. The attorney, who had been re-
tanned to defend the young woman
and her brother, was entirely salts
fled that she should be sent to the
state institution and the examination
rasde by the physicians named by the
court left no doubt that the young
woman was in need Of treatment at q
state institution for the feeble mind
cd rather than incarceration in one
of the state reform institutions. The
brother has been discharged on rec
ognizance bond pending his good be-
'havior.

Candidates for Office at the recent

today fling their final accounts of
election expenses as under the law all
the accounts must be fled with the
city clerk and the register of deeds
before Thursday evening. Nearly all

candidates. The final accounts made
just before the election have not been

democratic party had no committee
during the campaign ard the Repub-
lean committee reported expenditures
Of little over 1865. The general ex-
pense of the Democratic campaign
was all paid by the officials them
selves and charged in their individual
accounts this making it unnecessary
for the committee to file any account.

NEW YEAR STARTED
Fiscal Year for City Began
Today With Few Changes
in Offices.
TURNOCK is NOW A JUSTICE

The new fiscal year of the city be
gan this morning and there were few
changes in the official forces. John G
Slater succeeded Calvin Stewart in the
office Of city attorney following al
election by the council, and Charles
Turnoek hung out his single as a jus
tiee of the peace to succeed George
McCarron. Mr.. Turhock, who was elect
ed on the Republican ticket, was the
only candidate for justice at the re.
cent election. The two justices in the
city at the present time are John II
Wells and Mr.. Turnock, but it is de-
cIared that !" Judge" Wells Il planning
to resign his office in a shoot time.
Justice George B. McCarron, who
gave up his office today, was the pio-
neer justice Of the city and he had held
the office for the better part of ten
years. Before the coming, of the munich
pal court the justice court of Mr.. Me-
Carron did a great business and it was
one of the busiest places in the city.
With the coming Of the municipal court
Judge McCarron1 practically gave up
active work, but he was reelected two
years ago as a justice and while he
has been student at Marquette Uni
versity in Milwaukee during the entire
term he has held the office in Kenosha.
The city council still has the election
Of a city physician, the present holder
of this office being DR.. George E.
Thompson. This work is usually let on
bids and it is probable that this plan
will be followed this year.
Justices of the peace and town off
Gals in various towns of the county be-
gan their terms of office today.
With the beginning Of the new year
the city council has asked for bids for
the annual audit Of the books of the
city in order that the people of the
city may know the exact financial con
diticn Of the city with the beginning
of the new administration This is not
expected to be very glowing state
nlent of financial prosperity, but the
members of the new administration are
anxious that the people know just how
the business Of the city stands.

Kenosha.
TOOK JEWELRY AND MONEY

iAe ponce OF the city are making
an effort to capture daring robber
who invaded the home of Mrs. John
Swanson, 8l5 Prairie avenue on Tues
day The man represented himself as
a collector for magazine and while
Mrs. Swanson went to the rooms of a
family living in the same house to
secure some change the man looted
the house and got away with a gold
watch and chain and a purse contain
ing considerable money. Within a
short time after the man had fled the
case was reported to the police, but
10 trace of the man has as yet beer
secured.
Mrs. Swanson was alone in the
house when the man came to the door
and showed her the magazine. It was
one of the standard home magazines
and he differed it at a very low price
and she decided to avail herself of the
chance to subscribe. She found, how
ever, that she had no small change
and when she proffered the agent a
bill he said he could not make the
change and Mrs Swanson offered to
go to the other fiat in the building and
get the change. She was gone but a
minute or two, but in that time the
man had hurriedly made a search of
the rooms of the house and secured
such things Of value as he could, On
the return of Mrs Swanson she found
that the man had gone. She hurried
out Of the house, but could see moth
ing Of the maH-and as soon as possible
she got to the telephone and notified
the police of the robbery
Chief O'Hare is making an effort
to discover the identity Of the man by
corresponding with the publishers Of
the magazine, but it is feared that
the man is not an authorized agent
of the company and that they will
get no information from this source.
The man was we'll dressed and seemed
to be welP educated. So far as can
be learned he did not work at any
other place in the city and the police
have made such systematic search
of the city that it is thought, that he
must have caught car out of Keno
sha shortly after the robbery of the
Swanson home.
In the past few months the police
have had many complaints of fake
agents for. magazines and every one
Of these men found ii the city is be-
ing submitted to the closest possible
scrutiny. It is the opinion of the po-
lice that the man who robbed the
Swanson home is one of the sleek
workers in this line and that he has
worked in other cities along the line.
For this reason descriptions Of the
man have been sent to the police in
all the surrounding cities asking that
he be held if found in these cities.

Committee May Try Plan of
Building Twin Sewers
in Kenosha.
SEE BIG SAVING IN SCHEME
Committee Plans to Recommend to the
Council the Building of Number of
New Sewers on West Side of the City.
South Street Not to Be Strengthened.

A plan for the building of what are
known as twin sewers in the city
Of Kenosha was proposed to the street
assessment committee at its specia
meeting held at the office of Mayor
Head Tuesday evening, and if the p1ar
is adopted as it seems likely that il
will be, it is thought that the city viii
save goodly sum of money on sewer
construction in the future.
The plan was brought to the commit
tee by City Engineer Baltzer and brief
ly stated it provides for the laying OF
two small sewers instead of the one
large one. 1t is effective in the con
struction Of all sewers where the size
of the pipe is in excess of thirty inches
The plan is to lay two pipes of. small
size side by side in the trench, uniting
them at the outlet. The cost of the
small pipe is much less than the large
pipe and the cost of laying the two
small pipes is smaller than the cost Of
laying the one big pipe.
Engineer Baltzer estimated that the
new plan, if followed out, would re
suit in the saving of ST 500 on the sew
er now planned for the draining Of the
property of the Kenosha Industrial AS,
ISOLATION Subdivision.
It is said that the plan is now be-
ing adopted in many cities of the coun-
try with a great saving to the munici-
palities. The city of Oshkosh has, dur
ing the past year, laid more than seven
miles of double pipe sewers and it is
declared that the city has saved a large
sum of money and at the same time has
secured more efficient sewer service.
The committee will make examina-
tions of the plan in the various cities.
Mayor Head himself will 90 to Osh-
kosh in few days and make study
of the manner in which the proposed
plan has worked out in that city,
The committee was in session. for
more than three hours and many mat
tiers of Importance were taken up. The
committee will report to the council in
favor of the building of an eighteen
inch sewer on Prairie avenue between
Crate and Charles streets, the building
Of a twenty-four inch sewer south on
Charles street as far as Avery street,
the building Of short sewer on Su-
perior street between the end of the
present sewer and Prairie avenue, a
sewer on Florence street from the tracks
of the Chicago and Northwestern road
to Prairie avenue and sewer on West
Prairie avenue, extending to Balm ave
nue..
The committee discussed the question
of the alleged error in the line Of
South street and it was decided that the
claim that the street had been swung
over to the north at the west end Of
the street was supported by surveys.
The matter will be taken up with the
property owners and it is thought pos
sible that settlement of the difficulty
can be reached without making any
change in the existing street lines and
without interfering with the present
contract for the paving of the street.
