MANY GREET NEW OFFICIALS
Retiring officials Have Everything in
Ship Shape to Turn Over to Their
Successors. Friends Put Flowers on
Desks of New County Officials.



This was day of greeting and fare
wells among the members of the OF
fetal family of Kenosha as this morn
ing the new officials elected at the last
general election took their Offices The
change of administration brought many
changes in the makeup of official Re
nosha county.
At the county jail DR.. +. W. b.
Achen was formally installed as sheriff
early this morning and many OF his
friends gathered to offer congratula-
tions during the morning. Under
sheriff Thomas Scott was in evidence
at the Jail. Retiring Sheriff Stahl was
about Just getting the new official
started right and he was given lot
of attention by the visitors. The re-
firing sheriff has had splendid rec
ord in office. He has been a careful
painstaking sheriff and he has shown
real interest in his work at all
times. Much of the work which other
holders of the office had turned over
to their deputies Sheriff Stahl had
taken care Of himself and his personal
interest in the duties of the Office have
made him popular with the officials OF
the county and with the people OF the
city and county. Sheriff Stahl goes
out Of office with the people having
feeling of regret that the state law
does not permit the reelection of the
sheriff. The way that Sheriff Achen
took charge of things this morning
gives indication that he will dupli-
cate while in Office the record made by
his predecessor.
Over at the court house the change
was not SO marked Leo Flasch, regis
ter of deeds, was the only retiring Of
fetal. Mr.. Flasch carried with him out
of office the best wishes of the people
as he has made good in office. Always
courteous and careful he made an ex-
cellent record in the office. He was
succeeded by Perkins G. Torrey, who
went back into the Office after vaca-
tion of two years. There were nc
formalities necessary in this Office as
Mr.. Torrey had been so thoroughly
familiar with the work that he need,
ed no instructions. Two changes of
clerks were made at the court house.
Miss Ivy Russell, who has been in the
Office of the register of deeds, became
the clerk to Russell H. Jones who be-
gan his new term as county clerk and
Miss Marie Mccartney, who has been
an assistant in the Office of the NUM-
cipal court, became deputy to Register
of Deeds Torrey.
There was no change with the inau.
guration of clerk of the circuit court B
M. DeDeimar and Miss Margaret Starr
will remain as deputy in this office
Al the municipal court with the open
ing Of the regular term retiring Dis
trict Attorney Henry ]. Hastings turn
ed over his office to Alfred l.. Drury
Mr.. Hastings had a sigh of reliei
ready for the criminal work of the dis
trict attorneys Office has not been any
too much to his liking. However, he
has performed the duties with .
conscientious effort to secure the best
interests of the state and county and
he went out of Office with the best
wishes of all the men who had beer
connected with the courts.
Philip Hartman, Jr., succeeded Chas
P. Wallig as county treasurer, but the
formal transfer of the books of the
county viii probably not be made un
til after the annual January meeting
of the county board when the board
will make its final examination of the
books of the treasurer.
Herbert G. Millager became coroner
but there was nothing to be turned
over to him as all cases had been clos
ed up by retiring Coroner James HI
Stanton and the records of the Office
were all in ship shape
The only other change was the fac
that Charles H. Pfennig was giver
the right to assume the title of mem
Der Of the assembly to succeed Mathia.
