Seniors at BANQUET.

The senior class of the Kenosha high
school had their annual banquet at the
domestic science department last even
ing. The rumor started that President
Fink was to receive the same treat
ment as last years class president
This alarmed Fink to such an extent
that he and a classmate never left The
school Monday afternoon. They dared
not go out, ard so had their evening
clothes sent them. Armed with re-
volvers and waterpipes they stayed in
their banquet room and boldly defed
two or three juniors who put in an app
pearance at the school about six
O'Clock. In reality the thought of kid
mapping Fink had not entered anyone's
head but his, but the rumor lead the
way for sport, and succeeded in scar
ing him. At six-thirty a few juniors
and some members of the Glass of 1914
collected at the school grounds. They
were very orderly until several beam
ing seniors put in an appearance all
COOLED up" for the banquet. This
was too much for the crowd and mer-
ry time ensued. 1t will be remembered
that last June the Glass of 1914 decided
to the Glass of 1915 goat belonging
to the Glass of 1915. A polite reminder
of this occasion was given this year S
seniors by 1ashlight celebration and
the goat mounted on a pole. Some of the
seniors, however, failed to see the joke,
as "their Howard' had been slightly
Inundated and chagrined. IF Howard"
had not boosted of his big gun at mis-
hip, and had not his worthy bodygUard
taken pains to exhibit his "45'i no one
would have known they were scared.
It was suggested that two leather med
ais be given these two brave seniors,
and the suggestion might be carried
out. Very little loss was reported from
the mixup save the collars and dignity
of several very prominent and hand
some seniors The affair caused quite
little excitement and furnished
amusement for all connected with it.

Even Doris Vaughn, who divorced
Darnell just a month ago, appeared to
be glad. She chatted about the matter
last night and insisted that she had all
but forgotten that Jimmy existed and
that she hoped that he and Ruth would
now be just as happy as couple of old
lovers should. She was especially in
terested in the fact that little Jimmy
is to have a real father.
It is expected that Darnell and Miss
Soper will find some one to marry them
in Indiana today. Times have been
hard In Indiana just like in other states
and ministers are not permitting we'd
ding fees to slip through their fingers
down there. Should it be difficult to
get a minister there are lot of In
diana justices who will be pleased to
take care of the little ceremonial.
It is just possible that Pastor "Mor-
rison' and his bride will come to Ke-
nosha for their honeymoon. Their
home here was broken up rather I'M
tremendously and they have a lot of
little things in Kenosha yet and they
may elect to come 10 Kenosha in per-
son to get them. One thing is certain
and that is that Ruth Soper Darnell
will find lot of people here who will
be willing to meet her and to wish her
al the pleasure possible in this new
married life.

The council finally accepted light
ing contract and from now on the city
will have the benefit of slightly low
er rate. The report of the state rail
road commission declares the rates OBJ
tanned by the council from the lighting
company to be as favorable as the city
could hope to get and the action of the
council on this contract will undoubt-
eddy be sustained by the commission If
any appeal is taken. The lighting
company profted by the delay in max
ing this contract, but the delay in
reaching settlement should be a les
son to public service corporations to
draw their contracts as simply as posi-
BILE and to avoid technicalities so far
as possible.

MAY HONEYMOON IN kENOSHA
Some Indiana Minister or Justice of the
Peace is Expected to Perform Cere-
mony Today and Little Jimmy is
Going TO Have a Real Papa

Jimmy is himself again. The Rev.
James Morrison Darnell got back into
his old star part of getting marriage
licenses on Monday afternoon and when
just after four clock in the afternoon
he appeared at the marriage license
bureau at Crown Point, Ind, and Sc
cured license to marry Ruth Soper,
the Owatonna, Mimi, girl, who former
ly lived with him as his wife in Keno
sha, Miss Soper was with the marrying
minister when he applied for license
and she appeared to be raidantly hap
ply. Little Jimmy, the hero of the
switched hospital story, was not pres
ent at the ceremonies of securing
a license
It must be added that Darnell and
Miss Soper are not as yet married. AT
ter getting the license it was announc-
ed that they would go to Whiting, Ind,
for the ceremony, but Whiting is still
silent as to the ceremony being per-
formed and the Rev. P. G. Greenly, pas
tor of the church over which Darnell
at one time presided as pastor, stated
last night that he would not perform
the marriage ceremony
Darnell appeared to be in high spirits
when he went on his wedding trip num-
Der four. He asserted that he was con.
WINGED that all of his troubles were
over and he was not even giving a
thought to the possible prosecution
which might follow on account of his
marrying within a year after he had
been divorced in the state Of Illinois.
1t is understood that Darnell has
been given to understand that the
states attorney of Cook county is of
the opinion that he should be married
to Ruth Soper and that for this rea-
son no attempt will be made to inte.-
fere with him.

Police Asked to Aid in Finding William
Koch Missing from Melrose Park.

The police. of the city this morning
received letter from Fred Koch a
Chicago man, asking that the local of
ficials make an effort to find some trace
of William Koch or Cook who disap-
peared from Melrose Park, ILL.,, eleven
years ago. It is claimed that the
mother of Koch is in serious condi-
ton on account of grieving over his
prolonged absence. The name of Koch
or Cook does not appear in any of the
directories of Kenosha during the past
eleven years and the police can find no
reason to believe that the man is or has
ever been resident Of Kenosha.

PRAISE KENosHA FACTORIES.
Industrial Commission Sends Out No
tice on Report of Agent Evans.

The industrial commission of Wis
consin has paid real compliment to
Kenosha manufacturers as j. D. Beck,
commissioner of labor, has sent to the
secretary Of the manufacturers of Ke-
nosha the following communication:
Madison, Wis, Feb. Is, 1915.
Conrad Shearer, Secy.,
Manufacturers Assn. Kenosha, Wis.
Dear Sir
Our Mr.. Evans has just been max
ing some re-inspections in the factories
of the city of Kenosha, and he has
given such good account of those he
has visited that we are sure you will
be pleased to convey this information
to your employers, together with the
congratulations of this commission.
When our deputies report to us vari-
Gus factories which are doing good
work, we usually compliment them by
writing personal letter to each, but
as Mr.. Evans has practically covered
the entire city of Kenosha, we feel
that the best way to extend our con-
gratulations is through you Mr.
Evans report on the industries of your
city is very gratifying to the commits
sion.
Very truly yours,
Industrial Commission,
(Signed) J. D. Beck,
Commissioner.

There is bill in the legislature
amending the state building code and
this will probably operate to still
further delay the adoption of any code
at all in Kenosha. The sentiment in
favor of adopting some kind of code
or working one out for the city is
slowly growing stronger, however, and
1T is possible that an effort will be
made to do something along this line
before the opening of the regular build
ling season. The men in the building
trades are waking up to the fact that
they are entitled to the protection that
reasonable regulation of building
operations would give them and when
their influence is felt in the council
there will be something doing in short
order One of the things that cannot
be explained in connection with the
failure of the city to adopt code long
ago is the indifference of the men in
the building trades to measure that
is clearly designed to give them pro.
lection, but it is possible that they
were bluffed by the plea of some of the
contractors that code would "hurt
building operations in the city" The
state building inspectors have not had
occasion to ascertain how far their
powers extend as yet, but there is rea-
son to believe that what powers they
have to safeguard the lives of occu-
T nts of defective buildings will be ex-
ercised to the limit in Kenosha. There
are buildings in this city that were put
up in defiance of every rule of santa
ton and safety and everybody knows
it.
