Miss Dora Heyman Wins
Great Applause in Her An
nual Recital on Tuesday.
PROGRAM IS INTERESTING ONE

Dora Heyman, Kenosha's most ac-
complished pianiste, gave a wonderful
concert to an appreciative company of
Kenosha music lovers at the Rhode
Opera House on Tuesday evening and
never in the history Of the city did a
pianiste win so large a measure of
recognition for artistic work. The
program offered by Miss Heyman was
a decidedly varied one and in it she
showed wonderful appreciation of the
work of great masters. Her playing
was with expression and her technique
would have excited wonder in any con-
cert hall in the country. There was
nothing of the blase concert star in
the playing of Miss Heyman and she
accepted the plaudits of her hearers
with many gracious encores. Miss
Heyman played with real charm and
to her charm she added an under
standing of the best in music. In her
music there was revealed poetic feel
ing and musical imagination with
which she appealed to her hearers,

While the tax sale of personal prop
erty seized by the city treasurer for
non-payment of personal taxes did not
bring any great amount of money into
the city treasury directly, II is bound
to be productive Of very good results
indirectly. Tt will convince a Lot of
delinquents that the orders Of the
finance committee Of the council are
going to be carried out to the letter
and that no one who owes personal
property taxes is safe so long as he has
anything that the treasurer can get
hold of to be sold for the amount of
the taxes. The old system of getting
out of paying personsl taxes by simply
refusing to pay them viii not work
any longer in Kenosha while the pres
ent officials in charge of the collection
of taxes are in power and all the de-
inquents who are able to pay are get
ting out of their attempt to dodge their
personal taxes this year is the privi-
lege of paying the costs for permission
to redeem their goods.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1915-05-13

bringing out the full soul of the mas
ter in her interpretations.
While Miss Heyman played with the
skill of finished artistic she had none
of the mannerisms of the concert play
ers. She played just as if she were
playing to company of friends in her
home and this charm added much to
the success of the concert.
Probably the most appealing num-
Der on the program was the Schumann
"Carnaval. ~ This piece gave Miss
Heyman chance to display her varied
talents and throughout the various
movements of the rather long classical
number she showed wonderful musical
insight.
The "Bird Study" heard for the
first time in Kenosha, proved decided
favorite with the large audience.
The popularity of Miss Heyman with
her audience was shown by the fact
that she was forced to respond to an
encore even after the last number of
the program.
The program for the concert follows:

mercial branches by considerable
amount Of special work. She is also
dill experienced U0aCnor.

Josephine Steig, teacher of science in
the high school, was named to take the
place caused by the resignation of Miss
Timme who had been in charge of the

the schools during the coming year was
let to the Sunlight Coal Company at
Indianapolis, Ind. The cost is to be
$500 per ton delivered in Kenosha.
This is what is known as "mine rum"
coal. Samples submitted are said to
have been wholly satisfactory to the
committee. The contract calls for the
delivery of 1900 tons or over as may
be demanded by the schools during
the year.
Plans were laid for the installation
of bublers in all Of the school groundsA
These will be connected with the wells
recently driven and people residing in
the neighborhood of the buildings will
have chance to secure water for home
use from these wells.

The members of the finance commit.
tee Of the council have given fair
warning that the list of delinquent per-
sonal property taxes is to be published.
There will probably be vigorous pro-
tests against the decision of the com
mittee, but the people who have paid
up can see no reason why any special
consideration should be shown the de-
inquents, especially as many of them
are amply able to pay. The list of de-
hnquents on real estate is published
and if the committee publishes the list
of delinquent personal property taxes
it will only be treating al Of the de-
linquents alike.
