COLLECT DUES IN COURT.
Kenosha Italian Band Goes to Court to
Collect Dues from Member.

The Kenosha Italian bank was a
plaintiff in suit heard before Judge
Randall in the municipal court on
Tuesday. The action was decidedly out
of the ordinary as the band sought to
collect dues from one of its members.
The member, francesca Loconda, de-
clined to pay on the grounds that any
money to be paid out should have been
collected from the corporation. The
complaint declared that the offending
member had been present at the meet
ing when a levy had been made on the
members to meet a deficit. There were
SO many angles to the case that Judge
Randall adjourned the argument of it
until Thursday afternoon. The suit
indicated that the band had not been
a paying institution.

INSTITUTE TO Be FEATURE
Merchants Seek to Have Business
Houses and Amusement places thrown
Open for Entertainment Of the Visit
ors-Farmers Like New idea.

Kenosha is going to have two great
days some time later in the winter
when the city will throw open its doors
to receive the farmers from all sections
of Kenosha county. The plans for the
big event are being arranged by the
members of the Kenosha Retailer s
Association. It is planned to have an
institute for farmers as the main
feature of the entertainment provided,
but this is to be only one Of the
features. The merchants have taken
the matter up with the department at
Madison in charge Of the institutes
and they have been given assurance
that Kenosha will be provided with
the best talent to be found in the
state. It is the plan Of the merchants
to make the institute real induce
ment to the farmers to come to Keno

In Racine and other cities of the
state special days are being set aside

special entertainments have been pro-
vided for TIE people who may come

agreed to throw open their doors with

people from outlying districts what the
cities have to offer. In Racine arrange

dinner in honor of the visitors and at
this dinner the people from the county
will be the guests of the people of
Racine. It is a great plan for get
together meeting and it is thought that
similar plan would work out admir-
ably in Kenosha.
The date for the Kenosha institute
has not as vet been set but within a
short time full announcement Of the
plans will be made. The main con-
Germ at the present time with the Ke-
nosha boosters is to arrange to have
every man in Kenosha interested in
the future development of trade in the
city get into the boosters line and
make some suggestion and offer some
contribution to the fund for the enter
tainment of the visitors. It is certain
that the plan will be favorably receiv-

FILES MODEST CLAIM.
w. w. Lindley Of Champaign Wants
1888, 1888 from Dprkee Estate.

~
They are still coming. Walter w.
Lindley Of Champaign H., came to
Kenosha on Tuesday afternoon and
filed iii the county celirt claim of
$333,333.33 Count 'em) against the
estate of the late Charles Durkee.
The claim was eormally registered by
the judge of the court and was fled
together with other claims, aggregating
twenty millions of dollars to await the
final decision on the famous old Dur
kee will case. Lindley was another
one of the Champaign men who had
been interested with Attorney Leonard
Blaisdell in the fight to secure the
Durkee millions. Z His claim against
the estate is made as result of a note
given him by Blaisdell. The note is
made matter Of record in the county
court. It was given on June 20, 1895.
No rate Of interest is stated in the
note and it is signed by Blaisdell as
attorney of record in case number
1908 in the United States court of
appeals. Llndley was one OF the men
interested with Blaisdell in an effort
to secure collections of the alleged
claiSls. It is evident that Lindley did
not make a very large investment in
the claim as his note is decidedly
small in comparison with others fled
with the court for collection. Nothing
has been done with the Durkee claim
case in some time. The case is now
on the calendar of the circuit court
and it is expected that it will be reach
ed some time next spring. The case
now in court is an appeal from the
Kenosha county court to test the right
Of Judge Taylor to name an admins

FACTS WERE NOT GIVEN
Joseph Keller is Charged with Making
False Statements in Securing License
to Marry Elizabeth Nehr Laundress
Girl not Interested in Fight.

Friends of Elizabeth Nehr, said to
be fifteen years of age and employed
as laundress in one of he laundries
OF the city, went to the Office of the
county clerk this morning and demand
ed that some action be taken to annui
the license which had been issued sew
eral days ago for the marriage of the
girl to Joseph Keller, a Hungarian re-
siding in Kenosna. The friends of the
girl assert that at the time the license
was issued Keller made false affida-
Wit in order to secure the license. The
document states that the young woman
IS eighteen years of age, the legal age
for marriage in the state of Wisconsin.
The employer of the young woman was
at the Office of the county clerk this
morning asking that the license be
cancelled, but County Clerk Jones re-
fused to take this action and declared
that if the friends of the girl desired
to have the license cancelled the place
for them to go was to the district at
torney. He asserted that as far as he
knew no false statements had been
made at the time the license was is
sued and that he had no reason or duty
under the state law to proceed against
the Bride or the bridegroom.
The young woman is said to have adj
mitted to many people, that she was
fifteen years of age and that She was
not interested in the proposed marriage. I.
In the meantime cupid had an ally in
the parents of the young woman and
it was declared that if it was neces-
sary they were ready to sign an affida-.
Wit giving their consent for the cele-
bration of the marriage. The license
indicated that the ceremony was to
have been performed by Judge Randall
but the judge had never heard of
the case.
It is very doubtful if on the return
of the license with a request from the
parents for a new license that the
county clerk would issue one. Before
the wedding takes place the district
attorney will make an investigation of
all the facts connected with it.
Under the law Keller is forced to
make true statements in regard to the
age of the girl and he is liable to prose
cution for perjury if the statements
made were knowingly false. It is said
that Keller has been friend of the
family fol some time and that he was
accepted by the parents of the young
woman. as her future husband 1t is
certain that under the circumstances
he wedding WILDE delayed Indefinitely.

LEAKS CAUSE BIG LOSSES
Members Of the Commission Refuse to
Grant Rebates and Declare That
People Must See to it That Plumbing
is in Good Shape Order Extensions.

The board Of water commissioners
listened to kicks last night and
much of the time of the regular meet
ing of the board was given over to
listening to protests of patrons of the
company against the amounts Of the
annual bills. More than forty com
plants were fled, the number being
larger than in any former November.
Most of these cases were brought by
small householders in the city where
water bills for the six months period
ran all the way from twenty to forty
dollars. All demanded rebates, but
in not one Of the cases was there
favorable action.
We have this same thing to contend
with every year. said Superintendent
Brennan Of the water company. In
nearly every case these bills declared
to be excessive are due to the fact that
the property owner has permitted his
plumbing to become detective The
commission has made Investigations in
to scores of cases and in nearly every
one it was found that there was leak
in the water systems in the house and
in many cases the fact that there was
leak was unknown to the patrons of
the company. It is impossible for The
board to grant rebates. Meters have
hoo,, ;rc+alIo1 ~ +boeo bo,,so, or5 Al
meters have shown the water consum-
ed and it has been charged for at the
regular rates. Few people watch the
little leaks in the plumbing until after
the bills come in and then they begin
to see the large amount Of water which
may be consumed by a leak in the
plumbing"
A number of the patrons of the
company have refused to pay the bills
for these leaks and it is certain that
tn water will be turned off. The
bard will, however, look carefully in
to every case and should it be found
that the leak was in any way due to
the negligence of the officials Of the
company proper settlement of the bills
will be made.
The water bills this year seem to be
attracting more protests than in any
previous years, but the officials of the
company insist that the revenues will
not be greatly increased over last year.
Most all customers are now getting
water by meter and the rates are all
