DECLARED LEGALLY DEAD.
James and Mary Nugent Long Missing
from Kenosha county Figure
in Court Hearing.

James and Mary Nugent, son and
daughter Of the late Catherine Nugent,
formerly Of the town of Wheatland,
are "legally dead.'' This fact was
brought out in hearing on the ad-
ministration of the estate of their
mother held in the County Court on
Thursday. James and Mary Nugent
disappeared from the town of Wheat
land in 1890 and testimony introduced
showed that they had not been heard
from since that time. The evidence
showed that in 1897 relatives of the
two missing Kenosha county people
went into court in Lexington county,
Iowa, and had the sister declared dead
and that settlement Of their estates
was made at that time It is declared
that the fate of the two people is a
complete mystery. No evidence Of the
details Of their disappearance and the
subsequent search for them was intro
duced, The estate of Mrs. Nugent is a
small estate and the portions which
would have gone to the missing son
and daughter will be divided between
the other heirs.

RECORDS NOT FOUND.
Deep Mystery Surrounds the Corner
Stone of the Malt House and
Records are Missing.

1t is sort of tradition about Kenosha
that when the malt house of the M. III.
Petit Company was built way back in
1865 that the celebration attending the
laying of the corner stone was some
celebration. On this account lot of
people thought that when the corner
stone of the old building was ripped
out by the sledge and the pick that a
lot Of interesting things would be
found. The wreckers reached the
corner this morning and tore out the
old stone, but they failed to find even
the copper box customary in corner
stones. The wreckers assert that if
any records were ever placed in the
corner they must have been taken out
again, for there was not even recess
in the corner stone for the reception
of the box. The fact that nothing was
found was distinct disappointment to
the men who revel in old records.

GET READY TO PAY.
Vast Sum to be Collected in Internal
Revenue from Eastern District
of Wisconsin.


of Wisconsin.
The new revenue bill, passed by the
Democratic Congress and signed by
President Wilson on Friday, will hit
Milwaukee and the eastern district of
Wisconsin to the extent of about
$l6,O00,000 year, according to the
estimate of Milwaukee revenue Of
icials. This will be an increase of
$5,O00,000 over the amount raised by
Uncle Sam in this district last wear.
Portions of the new law went into eff
feet at midnight Friday. Practically
every sort of average citizen, as well
as manufacturers of many classes of
goods, will be affected by the new law.
Manufacturers of wines will have to
pay an increased tax; it is probable
that the retail price Of champagne will
be increased at least twenty-five cents
a gallon as a result. Munitions MAX
ers will have to give the government
part of their profits. Just what will be
affected and just how badly the new
law will hit the residents Of Milwaukee
could not be said on Friday by Deputy
Collector Of Revenue William F. Bax-
ter. He received a telegram from Com
missioner Osborne at Washington, in

Charles Evans Hughes, Republican
candidate for president, is going to be
the guest of Wisconsin on September
goth and efforts were started this
morning to- have Mr.. Hughes make
short address in Kenosha. The presi-
Dental candidate will probably pass
through Kenosha at six clock on that
day and it is thought that he will con-
sent to greet the people of Kenosha
for an evening meeting Of perhaps
fifteen minutes. The day is the one
that has been set aside for the outing
of the Wisconsin Club Of Chicago at
Kenosha and if Hughes can be made
an added attraction for the returning
Badgers it is certain that his visit
would be one of the big features of
the day. Justice Hughes has never

MANY new FACES ON LIST
Some Wards Fail 90 Make Any Returk
of Choice of Two Parties for Places
on the Committee and Most Are
Elected by Less Than Ten Votes.

Kenosha county voters made the US
ual muddle in the election of county
committees at the primary election on
Tuesday and the official report of the
names for members of the two commit
tees show that things are badly mixed.
Efforts must be made at once to secure
organization of the county committees
and there will be a lot of new faces
to handle the affairs of the old parties
in the various towns and wards. 1t is
expected that both party leaders will
call meetings for a week from today
at which time the committees will be
organized and the work for the cam
paign started. New leadership is pref
ty certain with the Democratic county
committee, but an effort will be made
to have John Hegeman retain his
place as the chairman of the Repub-
ican committee.
In some of the wards and towns no
return was made of the vote for ward
and town committeeman and in those
where returns were made the men were
named by few votes. Hardly a sin
gle report showed dozen people in
terested in who had charge of the
party machinery.
While no return was made for the
Republican and Democratic committee
vote in the First Ward, L. R. Grosve-
nor was named for the Republicans
and B. NJ. DeDiemar for the Democ-
racy. In the Sixth Ward, Fred w
Boyer was named as committeeman for
both parties and he will have to choose
between them.
No returns are made for the fourth
ward The list of committeeman as
certified by the official County Canvass
inc Board. is as follows:

been in Kenosha. He must come here
as Kenosha has a record of having
been visited by every presidential
candidate Of the two leading parties
since Lincoln.
Justice Hughes is to make his prin-
cipal speech in Wisconsin at Milwau-
kee at three O'Clock in the afternoon
and after the address he will go to
Chicago for a night meeting. He is to
speak at Madison in the morning Of
the same day.
IF Hughes comes to Kenosha at six
O'Clock in the evening it is certain
that he would be given one of the big
gest receptions ever given any public
man. This would make it possible
for all the men in the big factories
of Kenosha to hear him.

the top branches, the tree groaned. and
with terrible crash fell to the floor,
split in four pieces. ra
But just behind the tree q young green
fir tree stood, just as if it had sprung
from the very place where the oak had
been before. Straight and graceful was
the fir with it's branches turned upward.
"Look!" said the young man, "this little

II ONG, long years ago when the
days were getting shorter and
shorter, the nights longer and
longer, the people feared that the sun
would cease to shine They met under
4 great oak tree sacred to the god,
Thor, god of war and thunder.
A young man travelling through Ger
many and seeing affairs under the trees,
where the people offered sacrifices to
their god, decided to spend his life teach
ing these folks. ..o H..
He spent many years preaching and
teaching, but few gave up their religion.
One cold winters night toward the end
of tho year, he went into the forest
where the people gathered to celebrate,
and were about to offer sacrifices under
tho Thunder Oak, believed to be guarded
by the mighty Thor.
At the foot of the Thunder Oak, q
bright fire burned; in the center knelt q
young boy about to be sacrificed to Thor.
In the midst of the crowd of heathens,
Winifred began to cut down the oak.
As he cut farther and farther into the
heart of the tree, the crowd watched for
the stroke from Thor that would kill
him. s..,- -.- --..--.- .-...@7s-.1.---
