associated with his son, Charles Cur
tiss, in the automobile business.
On February IL, 1878, Mr.. Curtiss
was married to Miss Catherine Beimer,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph
Beimer. His wife, who had been an
invalid for many years and the sub
ject of tender solicitude on the part of
her husband, survives him. He is sur
vived by two sons, Charles ii. Curtiss,
well known Kenosha business man, and
Mark w. Curtiss, who resides at Trevor.
Politically, Mr.. Curtiss was always
a Republican. He took a great inter
est in politics. For years he served as
a member of the school board in his
Der of the town board of the town of
Salem. In 1904 he was first elected to
represent Kenosha county IN the state
legislator and he served for two full
terms as member of the assembly.
In his legislative career he had been
closly allied with the men who sup
ported Senator Robert M. LaFollette
and he had been regarded as one of
their leaders. His close attention to
his work in the legislature won him the
title of one of the best working mem
bers of the assembly. His experience
in the legislature brought him into CON
tract with many men of prominence
connected with the political history Of
Wisconsin and these men have paid
high tribute to his work for the
county and for the state. During his
legislative career he was member Of
many important committees. He took
a special interest in legislation for the
betterment of the industrial districts
of the state and he was the author of
several bills which are now laws on
the statute books He was great
reader and was always considered one
of the best informed men of Kenosha
county on all public questions. He
had taken very active part in the
last national campaign and had been
leader among the men of the county
who sought the reunion of the mem
bers of the Republican party.
Socially he was popular in the town
of Salem and fo~ many years he had
been one of the leading men of the
Modern Woodmen Of America in that
section of the county.

'KATINKA,' BIG MUSICAL sue
CESS.
Coming to Kenosha Next MONDAY Mich.

Coming to Kenosha Next Monday Night
Katlnka,' last winters sensation
IN New York, and recent big success in
Chicago will be the attraction at the
Rhode opera house, Kenosha, on next
Monday night, January Goth, in ex-
actly the same sumptuous style that
characterized it's engagement of a solid
year on Broadway.
Katinka' is musical play by
Otto Hauerbach and Rudolf Friml.
which has eclipsed in popularity the
two previous successes of these authors.
"The FREELY" and "High links. y
Mr.. Hauerbach is responsible for the
bright and snappy lines, while Mr..
Friml composed the musical score,
whose conspicuous feature, "Rackety
Coo" has preceded the fame of the play
from coast to coast. Mr. Friml s music
is said to surpass anything he has done
before, which is saying a great deal,
considering the extraordinary merits of
the scores Of The FREELY and "High
Jinks.o
Arthur Hammerstein is responsible for
the staging of Katinka,'' as he was
for two previous works of the famous
authors. The plot of the play, taking
the personages as it does through Rus
STA, Turkey and Vienna, offers unusual
opportunities for rich and elaborate
stage settings, and for gorgeous cos
tunes, of which Mr. Hammerstein is
credited with taking full advantage.
The play tells the story of the little
Russian maiden, Katinka, who is forced
into a marriage with the elderly states
man, Boris, whom she detests Her
lover, Ivan, discovers that Boris already
has a wife living, and, with the aid of
his American friend, Hopper, he steals
Katinka away on her wedding night.
The remainder of the play deals with
the search through Turkey and Austria
for the first Mrs. Boris, which is finally
crowned with success, after numerous
ludicrous complications. With COM
pany Of fifty including special oper-
attic orchestra and two carloads of beau
tiful scenery makes it up to the present
the most important offering Of the sea-
son. Orders for seats from our patrons
in the county will receive careful at
tention. Prices SOC, 75c, $1.OO and

NEGRO MAKES CONFESSION.
Man Who Killed Frank Winke of Bris-
toll at Green County Asylum Taken
to Waupun on Wednesday.

Upon the order of the State Board
of Control, John Doe, colored, alleged
slayer of Frank Winke, formerly of
the town of Bristol, in the Green coun-
ty asylum, was taken to the hospital
for the criminal insane at Waupun on
Wednesday.
Sheriff Charles E. Engelhardt and
Coroner Frank Schriner of Monroe
claim to have obtained confession of
the killing when they took the negro
into the darkened undertaking room
after his capture on January 3 and
caused him to place his hands on the
corpse. They claim that when the
lights were suddenly turned on, the
prisoner became very i'll.

legged to have exclaimed, whereupon he
was seized with fit of vomiting. The
officers say that he later told them he
had stabbed his roommate while the
latter slept, and in explanation is all
legged to have said that he was prompt
ed by a "bad spirit
Doe could not explain where he got
the seven inch knife with which he is
supposed to have committed the deed.
Neither could he or would he tell ANY,
thing of his past life, it was said. Au-
thorities have little doubt that the man
is insane. The order of the State
Board of Control will free Doe from
facing trial
He was placed in the county jail
after his alleged confession, and was
to have been arraigned before Judge
Saucerman. Doe was brought to the
asylum at Monroe about three months
ago because of the crowded conditions
at the Oshkosh institution.
The slain man was committed from
Kenosha county three years ago.

This is the rank of the six largest
cities in Wisconsin as given out by
the federal census bureau on Wednes-
day afternoon and by this ranking Ke-
nosha is advanced in a single six
months from the eighth to the sixth
city in Wisconsin. The figures given
out at Washington are the estimates
of the population of Wisconsin cities
on the first day of July, 1916, and
there is no doubt but that by this time
Kenosha has climbed up to fifth place
in the state by passing Lacrosse and
she is mighty close on the heels of
Oshkosh for fourth place.
Most people believe that when the
figures are made up again after the
first Of July of this year Kenosha will
have just two cities between her and
second place in Wisconsin. The re-
port of the census bureau shows that
the growth Of Kenosha has been pro-
portionately larger than that of any
city in Wisconsin not excluding Mil
waukee. Since the last federal census
was taken in 1910-in just six years
Kenosha has increased in population
more than ten thousand people and in
the last six months covered by the
census period the report shows an in
crease of more than $500 people in
the population of the city.
Great extensions are now under wav
for big industries in Kenosha and it
is certain that the coming year will
find these great industries employing
a larger number Of men. One factory
alone promises to make an addition of
a thousand men to it's pay roll and
this will mean an increase of from
four to five thousand people. 1t is
interesting to note that the census
bureau reports show that Kenosha is
now second In the state in the value
of her manufactured products and sec
ond III the state in the amount of
wages paid to her operatives. In fact
the reports which will be issued with
IN the next few months will show that
the wages paid in Kenosha in 1916
were nearly double those paid in any
city in Wisconsin outside of Milwau-
kee and far greater than those paid
IN many of the larger cities
On the first day of January of next
year it is expected that the population
of Kenosha will have passed the
10000 mark. Both Oshkosh and La
Crosse are losing in their proportionate

(From Thursdays Daily

The Hon. Walker M. Curtiss, twice
q member Of the legislature from Ke-
nosha county and one of the most
prominent men in the county, was
found dead in bed at his home near
the village of Trevor Thursday morning.
Mr. Curtiss, who was sixty-four years
Of age, had been in bad health for
he had been considerably improved
and his relatives had been hopeful of
his early recovery. He was about the
house on Wednesday and when he re-
ed to be in a very cheerful mood and
hopeful of early recovery. Thursday
when members Of the family went
to his room to call him they found him
dead in bed. He had evidently been
dead for several hours. 1t is thought
that death resulted from a stroke Of
apoplexy which he suffered during
the night. The announcement of
the time of the funeral has not as
yet been made.
Walker M. Curtiss had much to do
with the political and official life of
Kenosha county during the past few
years. He was a man of rugged per-
sonality and of well defined opinions
on subjects relating to the government
of the state and nation and for num-
Der of years he had been known as the
leader of the progressive Republicans
in this part of the state. His
death under such tragic circum-
stances will come as a great shock
to his friends.
Walker M. Curtiss was native of
Kenosha county. He was born on the
farm where his death occurred, No
vember /, 1862, and he had spent his
entire life in Kenosha county. He was

who pointed out that the chief value
of bird TO man resulted from the
birds habit of eating but one meal
day, that one lasting from dawn to
sunset. Prof. Jackson said one ex-
PLANTATION of the migration of birds
northward was that they could not
resist the prospect of 20 to q hours
of daylight for feeding, free from
owls and other night providers.
Special help is given to the farmer
as birds gravitate naturally toward
human dwellings,, about twice as
many being found on farmed as on
unframed land. On one one-half acre
city lot, where birds received protec-
ton, there were 13 occupied bird
houses.
Modest bird houses rather than
mansions are given preference and
styles to be chosen were given in

The eight hour day if applied to
I birds would ruin agriculture in the
United States in a few years, say
entomologists. The official report
that birds in Manitoba consumed in
one year $4,000 tons of bugs. etc,. is
cited to show that the longer the
working hours for birds during the
crop season, as in the north, the
more they help the farmer with their
crops.
A report prepared by the Manitoba
Agricultural College under the au-
thority of Minister of Agriculture
Valentine Winkler has thrown new
responsibilities upon the public to
protect the birds because of their in
creasing industry in collecting crop
pests. including weed seeds. The re-
