DOUBLE WEDDING
 |S RUDE[Y MARRIED

Fate generally works against those who try to put one over on their friends. And that's probably why Charles Nafzicer and Earnest Smith couldn't take brides unto themselves last evening iE a double wedding cere- mony without being nabbed by the police and fire department and lodged in the city jail on trumped up charges of stealing automobiles and being proper authorities.
 Nafziger is a member of No. 1 Fire Company, stationed at Central Fire Station Smith has a ranch out near tic Indian school. Nafziger has been keeping company with Mrs. Mabe; Sullivan who wol ked at the Mountain States Telephone office. Smith pro- posed to and was accepted by Flor ence Powell, also an emplOye of the telephone company. Wedding dates were SC. so nearly alike, the young women decided q double wedding would be just about the right thing and the husbands to be. thought so too.
 Early last evening the two couples appeared at the residence of Rev. George Narney. SIS North Fifth ave que and soon after were declared to he bound ill the holy bonds of matri- mony. They emerged from the par sonlpe happy and smiling. They had slipped one over on their friends.
 And then as they were about to en- ter an automobile and be whisked away to a wedding supper. policemen e11 fiimen appeared from nowhere in particular and the whole party was in the tolls. The bridegrooms were hurried to the police station and lock- ed up in the same cell. while baby car riages and balls and chains were made ready for them. The very nature of their c,ime demanded that they be transferred to the county jail. And soon afterwards a solemn procession started for the big building under the clock. Nafziger and Smith were 5hackled together and each found un- told pleasure in pushing the baby car riages before them.
 Returning to the police station they found that their brides had been hid cen out. No information was forth coming as to their whereabouts and iile young men were sent out into the dreary world to search for theil better halves. Up to late hour last night they had not located hem.
 Mir. and Mrs Nafziger will mako their home at 1915 South First ave rGe. MT. and Mrs. Smith will take up their residence on the family rancl near the Indian school.

NOVEL USE FOR ELEVATOR
Fish are Lifted Over Falls During
 Spawning Season by Machine

To enable migratory fish to pass such barriers as waterfalls and dams when ascending a river to spawn, the Canadian commissioner of fisher ies has developed an elevator which is apparently practicable. It has been placed in service at 24-fOot fall in the St. Croix River, and is op- erating successfully, according to ad- vices
 In part, the device consists of a vertical shaft erected several feet from the falls. Guides or walls. ra date from both sides of the struc- ture to the opposite banks of the stream so that fish are led to it. A cage in which the latter are trapped and carried to the top of the shaft, where they are automatically dumped into sluiceway and discharged in to the water on the upstream side of the barrier is hoisted by means of a counterpoise tank which is' period ically filled with water from a sup ply reservoir surmounting the tower. The cage and tank are secured to the opposite ends of cable that passes over pulleys at the top of the shaft
 The fish compartment is provided with two doors, one at each end i When it is at the bottom of the shaft beneath the water one of these gates is raised to permit fish to enter. On the other hand, an auxil- iary door on the shaft lets down and prevents fish from swimming around to the back side of the guides or
 into the space normally occupied by 1 the carrier, when the latter as ,cends.-E'rom the Popular Mechanics

years and for number of years
prominently connected with the bust
ness life of Kenosha, died this morn
ing at the home of his son, Myron
Piper in Milwaukee, after long i'll
ness from complication of diseases.
The sudden coming of the end was a
shock to his widow and many Of the
members Of the Piper family in Keno
sha. Mrs. Piper and her son, B. v.
Piper, had come to Kenosha on Sunday
evening not anticipating the APP
proach of death.
Mr.. Piper had been in feeble health

settled near Watertown at a village
which later was called Piperville in
honor of his father. He was in the

was interested in the management of
the Kenosha creamery. Then he went
with his wife to Long Beach, Califor-
MIA, where they spent six years. Since
the return to Kenosha eight years ago

kell, who resides at Long Beach, Cal.

kee on Wednesday or Thursday and in

supporter of the Republican party
During his residence in Kenosha he
had taken a great interest in local
political situations, but had never been
candidate for any public office.

GET FIRST APPLICATION.
Walworth County Girl is to be First
Pay Patient Admitted to Willow
Brook Sanatorium.

The secretary of the board of trus-
tees Of Willow Brook Sanatorium fled
the first two applications for rooms at
the new institution on Wednesday
afternoon and Walworth county had
the honor of making the first appliea-
ton. Both patients will be pay
patients The one from Walworth
county is a young girl who at present
is being treated in the sanatorium at
Stevens Point, but her friends and
relatives are DESTROYS Of getting her
into an institution nearer her home
They came to Kenosha and looked over
Willow Brook and at once fled an
application for her admission to the
institution as pay patient. The
other application was made for a Ke-
nosha patient now at the Sunny Rest
Sanatorium in Racine. Walworth
county promises to be very helpful to
the officials Of the new Kenosha insti-
tuition and it is probable that all
patients from that county will be sent
to the local institution just as soon as
it is ready to receive patients. It is
expected that many "pay" patients
will be received at Willow Brook.

Few Stay Long.

The length Of time of tenure Of posi-
lions by teachers given in table
shows that but thirteen teachers have
been employed more than ten years;
twenty-three between six and ten
years; twenty-six two years, and
thirty-two but one year.
The large proportion of new teach
ers is laid to the fact that many resig-
nations are received yearly, and to the
rapid growth Of the school system.
The Improvement in professional
preparation to teach Of the average
teacher of today as compared with the
one Of five years ago in Kenosha 8
schools was shown in table setting
forth that in 1910 there were fifteen
teachers with no preparation other
than graduation from the high school.
In 1915 there is but one with so little
qualifications In 1910 there were but
twenty-eight who had received the
training given in the full normal school
course. Now there are sixty-one.

shouted Mr.. Bowser as he caught
sight of his collar button over By the
window. Unless the management OF
this house greatly improves I will be
under the painful necessity OF hiring a
housekeeper.''
"And what will become Of me?" she
quietly asked.
"You will probably be at your moth
er's house"
you can look for a housekeeper
right away" she responded as she
went downstairs.
There was an embarrassing silence
and not much appetite at breakfast
Mr.. Bowser assumed the look Of Ro-
man gladiator about to enter the ring
to fight with six men, and Mrs. Bowser
resisted the temptation to smile. He
showed back his chair from the table
and stalked off without q word, and
that was the beginning Of the tragedy.
An hour after Mr.. Bowser had reach
ed his Office he began to look for tele-
phone message from his home. Mrs.
Bowser had several times taken that
way of making up misunderstanding.
None came Noon arrived. The tele-
phone had not rung.
At 2 O'Clock in the afternoon Mr..
Bowser went to the telephone intend
ing to call up Mrs. Bowser and ask her
If any sheep or cattle or hogs had bro

hear her voice. He wanted her to I'M

was even going to tell her that he

to his chair with something like chill
creeping up his spine. Was his house
deserted by all? Had Mrs. Bowser got
so mad that she would not answer the
phone? He was full of queries from
that time until he started for home.
