GERMAN PIONEER DEAD.
August Maehling Died Suddenly Early
This Morning.

August Julius Maehling, aged II
years and one of the older Of the Ger
man residents of Kenosha, died sud
denly at the home of his son-in-law,
Otto Bloxdorf, on Market street, just
after midnight this morning. Death
was due to an attack of heart disease.
Mr.. Maehling had not been in. robust
health for some time, but his friends
had no warning that the end was SO
near. He was about the house on
Monday and appeared to be in fair
health Monday evening. The deceased
was native of Germany where he was
born Sept. 5, 1843. He came to this
country when he was thirty years of
age and located in Kenosha and had
since made his home in this city. He
was one of the organizers of the Ger
man Working Men IS Association and
had been very active in the work of
this organization. He had also been
active in church work. He is survived
by one daughter, Miss Bertha Maehling
of Kenosha, and one son, Albert Mach
ling, who resides at Haverhin, Mass.
Announcement of the time of the
funeral will be made later.

SEND WHOLE FAMILY BACK.
Pauper Commissioner Plans to Send
Whole Family to Russia This Week.

There is one family of foreigners IN
Kenosha that is going back home. The
home-going is not to be anything like
the father planned when he came here
from Russia some five years ago. He
had hoped to make a fortune In Ameri-
ca and return to care for his aged par
ents, but he is going back broken in
health and spirits to become a care on
the parents for the few months that
he has to live. The name of the man
was not disclosed to the members of
the common council who voted to APP
propriate $136 to send the family back
to Russia. Since last November the
husband, wife and two children have
been receiving full support from the
city, but letters from the old country
announce that care will be furnished
the family and the pauper committee
has decided that it would be economy
to buy tickets to Russia for the four.
The household furniture will be sold to
give the people money to pay for their
support while making the trip.

County Board Finds Roads
Built of Kenosha County
Gravel Satisfactory.
BETTER THAN MACAOAM ROADS

Members of the county board, who
made long trip about the county on
Wednesday to inspect the roads now
being built in the diffedent towns, dis
covered the fact that Kenosha has a
great wealth of road building material
and they returned home last night con
WINGED that there was no better ma
terial for roads than concretes and Ke-
nosha county gravel. The gravel roads
now being built in the town of Wheat
land, under the direct supervision of
County Highway Commissioner John
Herzog and Town Chairman. William
Luke, met with especial commentator
from Chairman John 7. Yule and his
party of supervisors.
"These roads are far superior to
macadam roads, said Mr.. Yule in dis,
cussing the trip this morning. "The
gravel found on the west of the Fox
river, and there appears to be an mex
haustable supply of it, is the finest road
material that could. be found unless
the roads are built of concrete. We
had good chance to compare the maca-
dam roads and the gravel roads and
while we have no complaint to find on
the work done on the macadam roads
in the town Of Bristol, we were of the
opinion that the gravel roads in Wheat
land were greatly to be preferred.
These roads are built of Kenosha
county gravel rolled in and watered
and the surface of them is almost as
hard as concrete road and the cost
of building them is not nearly as large
as the cost of building macadam roads.
| feel certain that the gravel road from
wearing standpoint, will prove lot
better for the people of the county.
The concrete work being done on the
Geneva road is the best job I have seen
of this kind Of road building. The road
is fifteen feet and two inches in width
and when the gravel shoulders have
been put on it will have width of
more than twenty-one feet and it will
be model road. All of the work now
under construction is being done in an
excellent manner and we were well
pleased. ~
The gravel roads in the western part
of the county were something Of an
experiment this year and the ues of the
gravel was especially urged by Chair
man Luke of the town of Wheatland.
It is certain that in coming years a
great deal of this kind of road will be
built as it will be easy to get the ma
terial and it is said that the cost Of
building the gravel roads is much less
than any other type of permanent road.
The big gravel pits to the west of the
Fox river would be available for build
ing roads in all of the towns in the
western part of the county and the Of
fcials who have examined these pits
claim that this gravel is the equal of
the best gravel secured along the
beaches of the lake.

very suddenly at his home, sos Gale
donia street, just after six O'Clock this
morning Death came as result of a
stroke of heart disease
Mr.. Seeberger had not been in the

to attacks of heart disease for some
time, but he had been at work on We'd
nesday and when he returned home
Wednesday evening he had complained
of being very tired, He retired early
and slept well during the night and
this morning got up at the usual hour
and dressed himself. He had walked
cut into the garden near the house and

house and was standing in front of
mirror combing his hair when without
any warning he dropped to the floor.

Editor Zimmerman Of Bur-
lington to Seek Nomination
For Member of Congress.
STEWART PETITIONS ARE OUT

Although Calvin Stewart of Kenosha
was endorsed by the Karel -Kearney
conference in Milwaukee as the demo-
cratic nominee for congressman in the
first Wisconsin district, it is declared
today that the Kenosha man will have
opposition and reports from Burlington
declare that Editor Zimmerman of the
Burlington Standard is to seek to sue
coed Henry Allen Cooper of Racine in
the lower house of congress. 1t is a
notable fact that the report of the can,
didacy of Zimmerman is being cir
culated by democrats who were not
wholly in sympathy with the plan of
holding the recent convention in Mil
waukee and it is thought that the
Burlington man is being encouraged in
his candidacy by leaders of the
Aylward-Davies faction of the party,
There is no doubt but that the Burl-
ington editor would make strong
candidate for the democracy of the
district. He has been one of the wheel
horses of the party in this section of
the state for many years and has been
active in political work. He has
shown lot of ability as political
organizer and is said to be in close
touch with the democrats who are in
charge of the party organization in
the state.
Editor Zimmerman is vigorous
writer and what is more he is real
orator and if he starts speaking cam
paign of the district he is certain to
win support. After the conference in
Milwaukee Mr.. Stewart with an en-
dorsement from the big gathering
came back into the political fight with
vigor and his petitions are now ready
to be sent to all parts of the district
and he has assurance that the men who
were active in the convention at Mil
waukee will be active in promoting his
campaign. The announcement that
Zimmerman is in the field will have no
effect on the work done for Stewart.
There are still several other men
flirting with the democratic nomination
and the most prominent of them is Jay
Page of Elkhorn. He is not known as
a politician, but is said to be strong in
the Walworth county neighborhood.
At any rate it looks like a merry
race for the democrats for an empty
honor. 1t is regarded as certain that
Congressman Cooper will be a candi-
date for reelection and the democrat
that beats him will have to get a
lot of votes.

New Proprietor of the Hotel
Ortiz Died at the Kenosha
Hospital This Morning.
DEATH FOLLOWS OPERATION
(From Fridays Daily

Peter Ortiz, ffty-one years of age
and one of the proprietors of Hotel
Ortiz on Park street, died suddenly at
the Kenosha Hospital just after three
CLOCK this morning. Death followed
an operation which had been performed
on last Monday. Death was caused
by pneumonia which set in following
the operation.
The announcement of the death of
Mr.. Ortiz came as a great shock to his
his serious illness. Mr.. Orth was a
former Kenosha man, but he had spent
much of his life in other parts of the
country and he came back after an alb
sence of thirty years six weeks ago and
joined with his nephew, Harry Orth, in
purchasing the interest of his brother,
John Orth in the Park street hotel.
At that time he was in the best Of
health, but in less than week after
he reached Kenosha he suffered from
acute stomach trouble. Physicians who
treated him found that he was suffer
ing from ulcers on the intestines and
on Monday they decided that the oper-
alton would be necessary to save
his life.
Peter Orth was a native of Ger
many He was a son of the late
Matthias Orth, one of the German resi-
dents of the city, who came to Keno
sha at the close of the civil war. He
was educated in the schools of Keno
sha, but after he had attained his MA
jority he left Kenosha and worked in
various parts of the country. For the
past eight years he had been in charge
of the plant of the Pope Sadderly Com
pany at Westfeld, Mass, and he gave
up this position to come to Kenosha to
go into the hotel business.

FORTY ITALIANS STRIKE.
Railway Work Near Bristol Stopped
When Workers Object to Foreman.

Forty Italians employed as section
workers on the tracks of the western
division of the Northwestern Railway
went on a strike at the village of Bris-
tol on Monday noon and tied up all
section work on that line of tracks.
The men objected to the foreman in
charge of the gang and there was no
demand for an increase in wages.
They communicated their demands to
the company in Chicago and up to noon
today no settlement of the trouble has
been reached. Several of the men have
been employed by the company for
many years and they insist that they
will not return to work unless given
another foreman.

SIX ITALIANS IN COURT.
Men Who Mixed in Fight With Joseph
Capponi Pay $40 and Costs Each.


Six Italians, all of whom were mixed
up in what is declared to have been
free-for-all fight in house on Jenne
street, Sunday night, which came to an
end when Joseph Capponi was hit on
the head with something were lined up
before Judge Taylor in the municipal
court just before Don today. Capponi
was one of the defendants. All of the
men pleaded guilty to charge of max
ing disturbance and fines of $40 and
costs were assessed in each case The
fines were all paid promptly. Before he
consented to permit the men to plead
to minor charge, District Attorney
Drury made careful investigation in
to the story of Capponi and decided
that here was no chance of convict
ing any one of assaulting him. He
had changed his story of the fracas so
many times that there was little left
of it. The men insisted that Capponi
was hit in the head with beer bottle,
which had been thrown through the
window. 1t wa declared that the man
who threw the bottle was not arrested
The men fined were: Philippe Avola-
rizo, Dominick Avolarizo, Joseph Cap
POM, l. Spidoni, Andrew Spidoni and
