Old Wisconsin Central May
BUILD New Line of Railway
Through kenosha County
TWO ROUTES PROPOSED NOW

Kenosha county may have another
steam railway as it is reported that
the officials of the 500 Line (the- old
Wisconsin CentraD are planning to ex-
tend the lines Of that company in Wis
consin. Two routes have been sug-
gested, one is line from Lake Villa,
little junction in Lake county to
Milwaukee, the other is from Burling.
ton to Milwaukee. Tt is said that the
Lake Villa branch is favored by many
of the officials of the company. From
Lake Villa the line would run through
the center of Kenosha and Racine
counties and it would touch several OF
the towns of the county. 1t is not
probable that Kenosha people would be
especially interested in the building of
the proposed branch as it would have
a tendency to take the people from
some of the smaller towns of the
count to Milwaukee The plans are
not IL any way matured as yet and it
is probable that it will be some time
before the actual construction is be-
gun Preliminary surveys have been
made of both of the proposed routes
and the officials of the company will
take up the matter at an early meet
ing 1t is said that the large increase
of the business of the company on its
Wisconsin division has shown the di-
rectors the necessity of a line to the
east of the present lines Of the COM

SEEK DODGE AS CANDIDATE.
Kenosha Democrats Asked to Aid in
Movement for New Candidate.

Democrats in Kenosha, who take an
interest in state politics, are receiv-
ing letters urging them to aid in the
state wide movement to secure as a
candidate for governor Judge J. e.
Dodge of Milwaukee, former mem
Der Of the supreme bench Of the state.
Judge Dodge has not as yet expressed
his willingness to be the candidate Of
the party against Judge John c. Karel
OF Milwaukee, but the committee who
is seeking to bring him out as can
didate is very active. While many
Kenosha democrats are favorable to
Judge Dodge it is certain that the
Milwaukee county judge will have the
inside track in this county Petitions
for the nomination of Judge Karel are
to be sent out within week.

AGENT ENTITLED 10 PROFIT
Court Holds That the Injunction Must
be Made Permanent and Must Re
main in Force Pending Appeal. Rose S
Damages Fixed at Nearly $500.

Judge e. B. Belden in the circuit
court on Monday afternoon handed
down final decision in the suit of
James w. Rose against I'll. R. Gordon
which has gained fame on account of
the fact that it was brought to test
the value of the beer clause in a
saloon lease. In his decision Judge
Belden intimates that there is doubt
as to the validity Of such a lease when
made by corporation from another
state, but he has held in favor Of Rose
in the present case, declaring that the
evidence In the case did not indicate
that Rose had acted in the case in
court as the agent of the Schoenhofen
Brothers Brewing Company. The court
held that Rose was entitled to recover
damages to the amount Of $537.20
from Gordon under his action for re-
covery and the injunction issued some
time ago was made permanent. In the
opinion Judge Belden holds:
That Sehoenhofen Brewing Com
pany is not the real party in interest
either as to said contract or this
action.
That the contract in question is not
invalid as in restraint of trade or con-
trary to public policy.
B That the defendant, Gordon, has
preached the contract in the respect
alleged in the complaint. If beer not
up to standard was delivered to him
by plaintiff it was his duty to make
complaint to plaintiff, whose duty it
would have been to make it good. De
PENDANT would not therefore have the
right to breach the contract.
That the plaintiff is entitled to re-
cover damages of defendant because
Of such breach as follows: for his pro-
fit on the. number of barrels of beer
proven to have been purchased of other
dealers, viz: Yung Brewing Com
pany,o 2421a barrels, Miller Brew

barrels, at the rate Of $500 per bar
rel less a reasonable expense for hand
ling thereof Plaintiff testifies that he
averages the cost of handling at sixty
cents per barrel and that the over
head expense of conducting his bust
ness is practically the same without
defendant s trade. The view of coun-
sci for plaintiff that because the
" overhead expense was practically
the same, with and without defendant s

WOULD REDUCE PREMIUM RATE
State Commission Offers to Furnish In
surance Now in Force at Rate of
500 of the Premium Now Paid to
ANY Responsible Company.

Mayor Head has received a let
ter from the state commissioner Of in
surance urging the city of l.enosha to
transfer it's insurance carried on all
municipal buildings, including the city
hall, fire stations, power plants and
school buildings to the Wisconsin State
Insurance Company. In his letter the
commissioner declares that such an ac-
ton viii resalt in material saving
to the city and its various funds as
the state charges for the services a
rate equal to sixty per cent of that
charged by responsible insurance com
panies In addition to this the COM
mission features semi annual inspec-
tion by the state which would be pro-
vided for if the city decides to adopt
the state plan of insurance. As the
saving on all policies written on city
buildings would be ccnsi derable the
matter will undoubtedly be submitted
to the various city boards. The letter
addressed to the various boards fol
lows:
&c the Members of School, Village and
County Boards, and City Councils:
Under section l978d (Ch TIA, 1879
4 the insurance laws, enacted by the
asst legislature, the insurance upon the
property of any school district located
in an incorporated city or village, or
upon the property of any county, city,
or village, may be carried in the state
insurance fund. Public libraries may
also be insured. The insurance may
cover against either fire or tornado, or
both The fire insurance covers loss by
both fire and lightning.
The annual rate is sixty per cent of
that charged by responsible fire insur-
ance companies for the same kind of
insurance. This rate is for one year S
insurance, but the county, city, vii
lage, or school district is given the
right to pay four annual premiums in
advance for five years insurance.
This rate applies without regard to the
amount of insurance written.
When the insurance covers seventy,
eighty or ninety per cent of the value
Of the property, this rate is further
reduced by the same percentage as al
lowed by the companies for the use of
the reinsurance clause. In other
words, the annual state rate is always
sixty per cent of the companies
annual rates The largest reduction
for reinsurance is allowed when the
property is insured for niety per cent
Of it's value and in many cases this
reduction in rate, due to the CO.
insurance clause, makes the cost for
full insurance but little more than for
partial insurance.

CARL THOMPSON SPEAKS.
Crowd of 200 People Hear Socialist
Discuss Commission Form.

The Social Democrats Of Kenosha
made their contribution to the fight
against the commission form Of govern
ment Monday night when a meeting
was held at the Coliseum at which Carl
Thompson Of Milwaukee, one Of the
leaders of the party in the state, was
the speaker. Mr.. Thompson came as
an opponent to the proposed form of
government and he made a strong ar
gument from the Socialist standpoint.
There was not a large crowd at the
meeting, the entire attendance not ex-
ceeding two hundred people. There
was lack Of interest shown in the
argument and many of the people left
the Coliseum and went over to the city
hall to watch the battle for elevation.
Mr.. Thompson is a forcible speaker
and his address seemed to please his
audience which was largely made up
Of comrades.

The ruling of the state highway com.
mission that no one can be named fol-
the Office of road commissioner for the
county who has not passed a civil
service examination should eliminate
politics to a considerable extent from
these elections and must result in the
county getting a commissioner who is
at least familiar with the rudiments
of his work. The choice is not limit
ed to residents of Kenosha county IN
der this ruling and any one who can
produce a certificate showing that he
has passed the examination of the
state highway commission is eligible
to appointment After the painful ex-
periences the board of supervisors has
had with its highway commissioners
the qualifications of the man who gets
the job for next year are likely to be
pretty closely scrutinized and fitness
for the position is liable to count for
more than anything else this time.

Judge Taylor Formally De-
clares M. Horning Long
Missing Legally Dead.
TO PORT OF MISSING men

Martin Horning, years ago man
widely known i'll the town of Paris in
this county, and a son Of Philip Horn
ing, the old village smith, who died
recently in Milwaukee, was declared
illegally dead" by the order handed
down by Judge George w. Taylor in
the county court on Monday afternoon
Martin Horning sailed from his home
in the town Of Paris to the port Of
Missing Men, some eight years ago
and although strenuous efforts were
made to find him nothing has been
heard from him. Judge Taylor held
that the evidence presented to the
court was sufficient to warrant his be-
lief that Horning was dead.
The application to have Horning de-
clared legally dead was made at this
time to provide for the settlement of
the estate of the father. Martin Horn
ing had been one of the litigants in a
partition suit tried in the circuit court
some time ago and as such he had been
entitled to portion of a judgment.
This under the order of the court will
revert to the estate Of the father as
in the order Of Judge Taylor it is held
that Martin Horning died intestate
some time prior to the death of his
father and that the estate left by him
under the law would have reverted to
the father. 1t will now be divided the
same as other portions of the estate.
Mrs. Elizabeth Horning was named as
special administrator for the estate
of Philip Horning with the understand
ing that she is to settle up the estate
of Martin Horning.
There was no feature connected
with the strange disappearance of
Martin Horning. He just simply drop
ped out OF sight and was never heard
OF. When he left the farm in Paris
he went over into Michigan where he
was working on farm He wrote
home shortly after he reached the
Michigan farm and appeared to be
happy and contented Then all let
tiers ceased. Letters sent by his
brothers and sisters from this county
returned by roundabout way unopen-
ed and after year the members of
the family started search for the
missing son and brother. They went
to the place in Michigan where Horn
ing had been employed, but people
there had nothing to tell in regard to
the missing man, in fact there was no
record that he had ever been there
Then the relatives sought to secure
some trace of him through advertising
in the papers in Michigan and other
states, but if HorniHc ever saw any
of these advertisements he had reason
to have his people back IN Wisconsin
believe him dead The father in his
old age had hoped against .3pe that
the son would return home before he
was taken by death, but nc word ever
came. At the time of the making of
the application for administration it
was shown that it had been more than
seven years since he was heard from.
This is the date set by the statute
