and lamp posts. Specimens of the genus
hero are coming to the surface almost dailv
and doing large and exciting business in
rescuing frightened ladies and stoppino the
wild teams as they dash madly through the
crowds that throng our streets, but the ro-
nance rather pals when the results to the
rescuer net glass of beer and cost the own
ers of rigs considerable money, besides the
attendant danger of killing half dozen
people. Every one driving horses in the
city ought to be more careful. 1t is almost
criminal to leave horses unused to the town
standing unhitched, ready to start any min
ute and smash buggies and wagons and de-
stroy property for other people, Some one
Will be killed yet and then public opinion
will sit down rather heavily upon the Of

The citizens of Kenosha are growing to
look upon public Improvements with great
er favor as time goes on and the CITY
proves It's ability to pay its way as it goes
There are many things in need of attention
In this city and the TELEGRAPH. Co1rPrEp
has not failed to point them out. The need
OF paving Main street, the need of a COM
plete and efficient sewerage system the
lack of cutters all over town. the need Of
some better system of street lighting, the
wretched condition of our public school
buildings have all been repeatedly pointed
out and the value of such work has beoun
to be apparent After looking at the old
school building for so many years and talk
ing SO long about building a new one the
public seems to have decided that it was
about time to do something. Waukegan
is building All edifce for its central school
that will be an honor to the place and will
elevate and dignity the Importance Of the
public schools before her people, When
Aenoshas School Board begin to look
around for plans, the new building in Wan
kegan will be worth visit to inspect, IF
is high time that some move was made to-
ward providing proper building for the
main school of the city. 1t is stated that
the school board has decided TO begin work
looking to the erection of new building
Such building as Kenosha'will need
should be built with the probability in view
that Kenosha will have $4,000 people pro-
badly before some of the present school
children graduate. 1t should not be
punched IN size or equipment for the sake
OF gaming little time. Then this civ
needs good building to convince some of
the people of Kenosha that the public
schools are not going to be permitted to be
superseded by any narrower system of edu
cation and to teach the children and the
youth that the parents lay the greatest en-
phasls upon the necessity of getting the
best possible education. If the present
school board will take up the subject and
decide to put up building the voters and
taxpayers will gladly stand by them Last
year the City Council expended nearly
$4,000 on a draw bridge for Grand street
and the bridge is up and practically paid
for. Twice that amount would nearly
build such a building as is needed and if
divided into the taxes for two years would
be fe;t no more tnan last years tax and
would be paid more willingly.
