The city of Kenosha is going to have
vast increase in the territory with
in it's limits during the coming year
If the petitions Of property owners,
placed in circulation this morning
meet with the favor Of the common
council
Eight petitions asking for annexa-
tion of new territory were placed in
circulation this morning and it is ex-
pccted that they will be presented to
the council within the next thirty
days. The petitions ask for the an
lexation Of all territory adjoining the
city in the land bounded on the east
by Lake Michigan, on the south by
Seine avenue and line extended west
along this avenue on the west ny the
Rategon road on the north by Prairie
avenue Much of this vast tract is
now thickly populated and in the past
two years number of petitions have
been presented to the council asking
for the annexation of a small portion
Of the property now included. The
council has been slow TO act favorably
on the petitions, the members Of the
council insisting that all the property
should be brought into the city at the
same time.
II is possible that even larger tract
will be included in the petitions as

It is cls Aed that there are more
than seven hundred people residing in
the territory named in the present pc.
titiQns and that many of them would
become tax payers with the aunexa
tion Of the property. People residing
south of the city have been seeking
annexation in order to secure better
school privileges for their children and
they believe that the time is now OPP
Fortune to seek to have this large ter
ritory taken into the city.
The main objection that has beer
raised to the annexation is the vast
amount of public Improvement worb
that will be demanded of the city but
the people now urging the petitions
declare that the people will be willing
to wait for the improvements unit
after they have paid taxes in the city
for several years.

was lacking, though proof might never
come, nothing could ever alter his be-.
lief from this moment on that Doris
was right in her estimate of this mans
guilt, however unsubstantial her rea-

How far he might have been carried
by this new conviction; whether he
would have left the house without see.
Ing Doris again or exchanging another
word with the man whose very pres
ence. trifed him, he had no opportun-
ity to show, for before he had taken
another step, he encountered the hur-
rying figure of Doris, who was return
ing to her guests with an air of
marked relief.
! He does not know that you are
here" she whispered to Mr.. Chailoner,
as she passed him. Then, as she again
confronted Orlando who fastened to
dismiss his trouble at her approach,
she said quite gaily: "Mr. Brotherson

courteous reply.
But Orlando Brotherson was not
himself. not at all himself as he bowed
formal adieu and withdrew past the
drawn-up sentinel-like figure of Mr.
Challoner, without a motion on his
part or on the part of that gentleman
to tighten an exit which had some
