of any defects along sanitary lines in

with view of suggesting to the own
ers of the building better ways for
solving problems of sanitation Tt
will take several days to complete the
work.

ARRESTED IN THE EAST.
Paul niagara of Kenosha Held by Gov
eminent Officials on Serious Char
ges at Rochester, Pa.

Paul Niagara, Kenosha Italian, is I'M
der arrest at Rochester, Pa, charged
with serious offense and an examining
magistrate in the eastern city on Tues
Gay turned Niagara over to the officials
of the United States government. He
had reached Rochester only two days be-
fore he was arrested by the local of
ficials there. Government officials
charged him with attempting to per-
suade his wife to lead an immoral life.
niagara left here several weeks ago
with his wife and baby, an infant ten
months old, and he was supposed to
have gone to Chicago to establish a
home.
The troubles of Mr.. and Mrs. niagara
have been much in the lime light in
the courts Of Kenosha. niagara was
married to the woman here more than
a year ago and at the time of the mar
riage he appealed to the police declaring
that man in Chicago had "sold" him
the woman for marriage at a price of
$3.50. The police spent considerable
time Investigating the matter but after
this investigation they decided that it
would be impossible to bring any formal
charge against the woman or the other
people mentioned in the case.
A woman and man alleged to have
been connected with the arrangements
for the marriage were afterward arrest
ed here on a charge of being keepers of
disoTder1y house but the case was dis
missed for lack Of evidence. Niagara is
widely known among Italians in Ke-
nosha.

EXPECT RAISE IN PAY.
Local Drivers for Express Companies
Expect More Money as Result Of
New Order of Companies.

Drivers of local express wagons ex-
pect to benefit through the announce
ment Of the express companies that their
employees are to be granted an increase
in wages. Both of the local express
companies, the American and the Adams
are among those concerns which have
promised their employees a raise in
wages where the cost of living has
increased to such a point as to warrant
this increase. The managers of both
of the Offices stated today that they
have not as yet received official notice
of the increase in wages but expect
that the instructions will be received
here within few days. The first an
nouncement of the increase was made
from the general offices Of the two COM
panies. Ten men will be affected by
the increase in wages granted to the
express drivers here. The American
Express Company which operates over
the Chicago and North Western into
the city, employees seven drivers here
while the Adams Express Company OPP
Grating on The Chicago, North Shore
and Milwaukee lines, employees three
wagon men. Drivers will be granted
an increase of five dollars a month
while the Office managers and others
will also be included in the plan of
the wage increase. The movement has
been taken by the express companies
owing to the higher cost of living and
also because business with the various
express companies has increased large
~ within the past few months.

received in Kenosha today, announce
that Major Charles J. Symmonds OF
Kenosha, son of Captain Robert Sym

ed to the rank of lieutenant-colonel.
Lieut.. Col. Symmonds is still at the gov
eminent army headquarters in the

work of cleaning up Cuban cities after
the war with Spain. For this work he
was given the especial commentator
of the secretary of war. For more than
year LieutCol. Symmonds has been
connected with the department of the
Philippine Islands, but he will be as

INTERESTED IN DECISION.
Philadelphia Court Holds That Eiitra-
ton Patent Claimed by
Jewel is Invalid

Members of the Kenosha Board Of
Water Commissioners are greatly in
terested in decision just handed down
by the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals in the eighth Minnesota district.
By this decision the patent claimed by
Ira Jewel on water filters is held to be
invalid. At the time contracts were
let for the installation of the filters
for the new Kenosha water plant,
Jewel was in Kenosha and insisted that
the city make contract to pay him
his claimed royalty on the filter. The
Water Board refused to make any con
tract with him and it was expected
that there would be a fight in court
after the filter plant had been turned
over to the city. The decision of the
Minneapolis federal court is declared
to have disposed of all claims which
Jewel might have urged in an action
against the city of Kenosha. While
the contract that the city made with
the company installing the filtration
plant had a clause relating to the
claims of Jewel many of the officials
feared long litigation over the matter
and it was thought possible that this
litigation might tie up the operation of
the Kenosha plant.

With the temperature of the council
chamber registering under sixty the
school commissioners of the city shiv-
cred through an hour session on Tuesday
evening and ito was so cold in the room
that even the warm arguments which
usually feature the school board sessions
failed to warm things up. There was
not a great deal of important business
before the board. Attorney R. V. Baker
who had been retained to advise the
board as to the right of the commissions
ers to enforce their demands for the
annual budget as made to the council
was not ready to give a final opinion
and this whole matter went over to the
December session of the board. There
seems to be possibility that the matter
will be dropped as several of the mem
hers Of the board are not anxious to get
the matter into the courts.
Adolph Meyer took his place as rep.
resentative of the third ward on the
board. The office of Charles Pofahl who
Pas represented the sixth ward on the
board was declared vacant and the coun-
Gil will elect a successor to Commissioner
Pofahl at tho next regular meeting to
be held ON next Monday evening AS
Mr.. PofahI has removed to another
ward he can no longer represent the
sixth ward.
The report of the superintendent of
schools for the month of October showed
that the enrolment for that month
showed an increase Of 298 children over
the enrolment in October Of 1915. The
report also gave some interesting statis-
tics as to the milk lunches in the schools.
1t showed that more than twenty-five
per cent of the smaller children were
buying these lunches and that a lot of
good had been done in improving the
condition of underfed children.
The board accepted the report of the
building committee which recommended
the purchase of another school site to
the west of the old city limits. The
site selected is $50 by 225 feet and it is
located in the Hanna subdivision on
Engleside avenue. The price is in the
neighborhood of $4,000. It is not ex-
pected that school building will be
erected on this site for several years
but the board feels that in the near fu-
tire there viii be demand for school
in this territory of the city and it is
thought that the price for the site al
this time is lower than one could be
purchased when it is actually needed.
In recent years the board has saved
considerable money for the city by pur-
chasing school sites in advance Of the
actual need of them. The proposed site
is considered an ideal location for a
school building by the members of the
committee.
The board had the usual amount of
routine business and the members stuck
in the winter atmosphere to get through
with it.

SALEM GIRL Wins PRIZES
Sylvia Dowen of That Town Has First
Honors in Tomato Contest-Scores of
Excellent Exhibits Examined by the
Judges on Monday Afternoon.

Henry Burgess of the town of Bris-
toll, is the champion corn grower among
the boys Of Kenosha county. He was
awarded this title on Monday when
expert Judges completed the work of
Judging scores of samples of corn grown
in the county this year and submitted
for competition in the contest under
the direction of the S. and J. Gottlieb
Company. The same judges proclaimed
Sylvia DoweI of the town Of Salem, the
champion tomato Gamer among the
girls of Kenosha county. The winners
of the first places in the contest open
to the entire county viii receive hand
some and useful prizes. In addition to
the two first prizes some thirty other
prizes were awarded. A decided in
crease was shown in the corn growing
and tomato contest this year and ex
hibits of corn and tomatoes were sent
in from every part of the county.
The exhibits were surprisingly good
considering the fact that lot of the
contestants found that their corn had
been touched by the early September
frost and this had the result of cutting
down the list of exhibits. The display
of the gelloGy Deat corn was especially
notable and judges declared that Ke-
nosha county boys were raising just as
good corn as was to be found any
where in the state.
The prizes will be sent to the winners
by the S. and J. Gottlieb Company
within the next few days. The full
list of winners and the rank given
them by the judges following the
judging on Monday, is as follows:

GOOD NEwsPAPERs-aooD TOWN
Helping the Editor Means Helping the
Community by Advertising.

y town Is generally Judged by the
amount of advertising its home news
aper contaius. Such advertising des-
ignates it live or dead town as the
ease may be. Large city agencies aud
business men keep tab On a town
through its newspaper, and when they
see the paper we'll patronized by the
different enterprises, they call it a
live wire" town and get IL touch
with it when possible.
So it should behOove every business
man 10 patronize the home paper-not
cut Of any sympathy for the editor
hut to keep the different enterprises
constantly before tine public eye.
From our own standpoint we caI find
but little fault with home advertising.
The Express and standard is we'll pat
ronized. Indeed, it has the credit of
being one of the best advertising medi-
ums in the state. Still, when You stop
10 figure it out, how many business inca
in the Immediate vicinity Of the Fix
press and Standard really advertise in
it. In the Davis Newport and West
| Derby directory just issued from this
| office. we counted Ga space ads and
| Now If those 81 space ads and > bust
ness cards could be run in the Express
and Standard, it would mean a i2-page
/ aper, and a status for the town ahead
/ of anything III the state. And they
should be in the paper-the card of
| every lawyer, doctor, dentist, insurance
| q gencies, undertakers, a9d a space ad
from every business concern. Each one
mentioned pays out enough for adver-
Using in directories. hotel registers,
school and society folders, and other
| aeldom-read ''get-ups' that don t
amount to a row Of pins, to carry a
space ad in the Express and Standard
for a whole year. To be sure it would
help the editor, but think how it would
help the town. 1t is the latter feature
we are trying to bring out. The O.
| space ads and p business cards, show
ing up the number OF enterprises and
other branches of business, would DO
more toward centcring other branches
Of business this way than all the cir

done. Wouldn' t the business agencies
