ENTERTAIN WEDDING GUESTS
six Men and Women Who Were Present
at Ceremony Fifty Years Ago Gath
cred to Observe the Anniversary
Entertain Children and Grandchildren
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Fifty years ago today William Wells
and Miss Sophia Stroch went to the
parsonage of the Methodist church in
the village Of Pleasant Prairie and
were united in marriage by the Rev.
| J. E. Thompson, then pastor of the
church and today every one OF the SIX
| guests who were present at the wedding
gathered at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
| Wells on Eagle street to celebrate the
golden anniversary of their marriage.
Many changes have come in the fifty
years and many of the people who were
the friends Of the bride and groom in
those days have been called to the great
| beyond but it is a notable fact that
every one of the guests Of the wedding
are still living and all are able to be
present at the celebration of the ami
versary today. Mrs. Wells received her
guests of fifty years ago wearing the
same gown that she had worn as a girl
when she went to the parsonage in
| Pleasant Prairie and several of the 9TH
ers who had been guests at the we'd
| ding had their old wartime gowns out
for the first time in years in order to
have part in the festivities of the day.
The anniversary was celebrated during
| the entire day. At noon Mr.. and Mrs.
| Wells entertained at dinner in honor
of the members of the wedding party
and at the table were seated John
Stroch, brother of the bride who re-
sides at Waukegan and who acted as
best man at the wedding; Mrs. Adelaide
Connors of Waukegan, who was the
maid of honor at the wedding, and the
other four guests: Mrs. Sarah Wells
and Mrs. Maggie Milheiser of Wauke-
gan, and Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Wells,
who reside in the town Of Pleasant
Prairie. 1t is not thought that a gath
ering under the same condition has ever
been held anywhere.
This afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Wells
held an informal reception to their
friends in Kenosha and scores of people
called to offer their congratulations
This evening there will be reunion
of the Wells family at which all of the
eight children, twenty-five grand chill
dren and one great grandchild will
be present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wells have spent their
entire married life in Kenosha and
Pleasant Prairie and for the past thirty
years they have resided in the city
The children include Mrs. Cora Melick
and Mrs. Roy Melick of Chicago, Frank
L. Wells, Mrs. William Vinegar, Mrs
Richard Hawkins, Mrs. Frank Good
man and Mrs. R. S. Kingsley, all Of
Kenosha and Lonnie Wells of Detroit
Mich.
The day was notable one for the
well-known couple and they received
many gifts from their friends which
will serve as happy remenbrances OF
the anniversary.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wells are in ex.
cellent health and they are looking for.
ward to the celebration Of several other
anniversaries of their marriage.

TO CURB AUTHORITY
Bills to Limit the Authority
of Railroad Commission
Ready at Madison.
DEpERE CASE IN QUESTION

Several bills intended to curb the
authority and activities Of the rail-
road commission, which were consid
cred by the assembly committee on
transportation, brought scores Of peo-
pie to Madison from all sections of
the state to object to such legislation.
Three of the bills were introduced by
Assemblyman Schnitzler Of De Pere.
One was aimed at making telephone
companies furnish the same service
continuously as they were serving on
January l without an increase in rate.
The bill is intended to remedy a local
situation, but it developed at the hear
ing that it would be general in appli-
cation. Free telephone service is now
furnished between De Pere and Green
Bay, but because of the increase in
traffic the Wisconsin Telephone Com
pany intends to ask the railroad com
mission for permission to increase
the rate so that a five cent toll charge
may be made. Schnitzler's bill is
aimed to prevent this being con
sidered by the commission Another
bill is to compel the street railway
operating between De Pere and Green
Bay to sell six tickets for a quarter,
as was agreed in a franchise granted
several years ago. This case is now
pending before the railroad commits
sion. A similar bill relates to the
Green Bay Gas Company, which is
now building an extension to De Pere.
City Attorney Smith of De Pere ap-
peared in favor Of the bills and B. T..
Parker, manager of the Green Bay
public utilities, appeared against them.
Earlier in the afternoon the COM
mittee considered the K. A. johnson
bill aimed at repeating that portion of
the public utilities law that prohibits
duplication Of telephone systems in a
city, without first obtaining a certi-
fcate of public convenience and neces-
sity from the railroad commission.
The bill has a local application.
Farmers in Columbia county would
like to build into the village of Rio,
but do not wish to come under the
physical connection law ]. NJ. Bush
nell and J. H. Donoven of Wyocena
appeared in favor of the bill, claim
ing that the farmer companies could
furnish cheaper service. They desir-
ed the repeal Of the Multiplication
Law as it hampered thema

The action of the beet growers as
ISOLATION in refusing to accept for its
members the contract offered them by
the factory managers for the coming
season has apparently been justified by
the results. If, as is claimed, the
growers have succeeded in obtaining
from one factory what they consider
a much more advantageous contract
than the one offered them originally,
there must have been considerable
merit in their contention that they
had right to expect better terms
than they have been receiving and
that the provisions of the contract Of
fered them in the first place to which
exception was so vigorously taken
were arbitrary and unfair. Moreover
The end of most Of the troubles Of the
growers should be in sight for it is
certain that all Of the factories which
receive supplies from this district win
have to grant the more favorable
terms for the coming season and with
the experience Of the present con-
troversy to guide them in the future
it is probable that the factory man
ayers and the representatives Of the
growers will be able to get to-
gether" on a contract that is fair to
both sides without any fighting next

If the boards of registry do their
full duty there will be fewer illegal
votes cast at the coming election than
have been cast in any election in the
past few years. 1t is the duty of
every qualified voter to get his name
ON the lists and it is the duty Of the
boards of registry to see that none
but fully qualified voters get their
names there. The burden Of proof is
up to the man who applies to get his
name on the lists and in the cases Of
foreign born citizens all should be re-
CURED to produce their full citizenship
papers. A strict adherence to this
rule will save considerable trouble on
election day for unless the challengers
of all parties are satisfied that every
foreign born citizen whose name APP
pears on the lists has the right to vote
there will be numerous challenges in
Ill Of the wards having heavy foreign
porn population. Any man who has
been familiar with conditions in this
eity at every election for the past few
years knows that the polling lists need
very careful revision in nearly every
ward Of the city and now is the time
to do it.

SCHOOLGIRLS INSIST LEO
WEAR LONG PANTS
Alton, Ill, Jan. 16.-Leo Groh,
a high school student, must take
better steps to protect his health,
|. and the eyes of his friends, ac-
/ 5cordihg to a resolution passed by
the senior class of the Alton High
School this afternoon.
Leo is 5 feet 8 inches tall, and
!architecturalty resembles a string
bean. And on this graceful slim
ness Leo wears knee pants. His
friends feared he would catch
pneumonia
For several weeks Leo's legs
have been the despair of his class
mates. Students feared the effect
on the audience when graduating
time came and Leo stood up with
the class, wearing knee pants and
visible legs, to receive his diploma.
Miss Eunice White, a student,
introduced a resolution in class
meeting that Leo be compelled to
wear, in addition to other things,
long pants, when he graduated.
Violent opposition was made to
the resolution by Misses Alice
Green, Bessie Mckee and Louise
Dillon Resolution was passed.
