to Chicago where they had since resid-
ed. The widow and three children sur
vive. It is expected that the remains

WANT LICENSE MONEY.
People in Newly Annexed Territory
Believe They are Entitled to Money.

People residing in the territory re-
Gently annexed to the city have taken
a new tack in demanding public i'm
provements from the city council and
they are now insisting that while they
have paid no taxes into the city treas
ury directly they have paid consid-
cradle sum into the license funds of
the city and that they are entitled to
have these sums expended in furnish
ing street lights and sidewalks in the
territory annexed. Petitions asking
for the installation of six lights were
sent to the council on Monday night.
Mrs. James Hannah appeared as the
representative of the property owners
and she declared that the people in the
new territory were willing to abide by
the decision of the council that no i'm
provements should be made until taxes
had been paid to the city, but she de
clared that the collection of the license
fees by the city entitled the territory
to some consideration. The members
of the council have as yet refused to
give the territory any public improve
nent but it is possible that the argu-
ment of Mrs. Hannah will result in
everal street lamps being placed in
the new territory.

Washburn Man Seeking Nomination
for Lieut.. Governor in Kenosha.

Hubert Fl. Peavey of Washburn, who
IS seeking the Republican nomination
for Lieutenant Governor at the Sep
TENDER primaries spent the day in Ke-
nosha. The Washburn man came with
out any flourish of trumpets or beating
OF drums and he was not scheduled to
make any speech in the city. He is
seeking to get acquainted with some
OF the political leaders in the city and
county and it is probable that he will
meet many people during his stay in
kenosha. He plans to make visit to
some of the villages of the county be-
fore his trip is ended. Mr.. Peavey is
declared to be the candidate of no fac
ton of the party and he has no alli-
ances with any of the candidates for
governor or United States senator and
he is seeking office under a proposition
to apply business methods to the af-
fairs of the state. He is widely
known as business man throughout
the northern part of the state.

the plans for the extension of the
trunk sewer and this was granted with
out division of the council.
The ordinance regulating connections
with sewers without a permit was Civ
en- its second reading and passed. In
the future all connections with city
sewers must be made under permit
from the city. The permit is to be
granted on the payment of a fee of
two dollars and the city is to provide
inspection for every connection made.
An effort was made to provide for
the addition of three men to the po-
lice force, but the matter was laid over
until the next meeting of the council.
1t is thought that the plan will meet
with favor.

War to Stop Importation Of
Toys For Christmas Trees
of Kenosha This Year.
SUPPLY IS LESS THAN DEMAND

"American manufacturers will have
to supply the toys if the children of
the nation are to have toy Christ
mas, said a Kenosha dealer who
handles an extensive line of Christmas
novelties. "There are not enough toys
in America to supply a small part of
the demand. No more can be expect
ed from Europe. unless the war ends
soon. But then necessity is the mother
of invention, and Americans always
have been able to meet necessity.
"This is the golden opportunity for
American manufacturers Of small ar
ticles. Many of them manufacture ar
ticles which are not different from toys.
They have machinery for handling
small things. Their force is already
trained. In a month they could install
machinery and be manufacturing toys.
If fifty American manufacturers would
each make three or four varieties of
toys we would have fair assortment. -
Heads of great firms are working
night and day now trying to induce
makers of novelties to take up the toy
business. The supply for Christmas,
1914, was ordered in January. Since
then the deft fingers of thousands Of
workers in the BLACK Forest, Germany,
have been busy making the toys to fill
these orders. Shipments were to be
made in August and September.
But those thousands of toys from the
Black Forest will not arrive, and Mary
and Johnny will find only candy, pen
nuts and oranges in their stockings on
Christmas morning, unless the war
ceases or Americans embark on the
rather perilous enterprise of toy man
ufacture.
If toys are made here they likely
will be more expensive than have been
the imported toys, of previous years.
Labor and materials are more costly
III American than in Europe. That is
why the American manufacturers have
not gone into the toy business before.
America always has been strong
on mechanical toys" said dealer.
Undoubtedly the toy display fo- the
coming Christmas will largely be of
mechanical varieties. Marbles and a
