Mayer Will Lose His Bet.

LONDON. July 24-Marcus Mayer wires
to London from Queenstown to-day that
he will be in London AT 10 o'clock tO-mor-
row morning. As Mayer continued on the
vessel to Liverpool this probably means
that he will catch the midnight train there
for London and catch the i o'clock mail
train for Paris. This will not land him
until o'clock tomorrow night. He has
lost his bet if the terms are correctly UNI
derstood on this side of the water

lican papers, the Tribune and Telegraph,
were united and published as the Kenosha
Tribune md Telegruph with Messrs. c. l.,
Sholes S. S Schotf and }. a. Butts as

on power press. Mr.. Sholes retired from
the partnership in May, 1887 On March
| Is. 1853 Mr. SchOff retired from the paper,
| Col. Frank taking his place The paper

tated the subject of system Of free schools
in the territorial legislature in 1915, but
meeting with no response he procured the
passage of law authorizing the village
of Southport, now Kenosha, to levy an
annual tax, to defray the cost OF main
tanning free schools The law was carried
into effect and a free school established;
this was the first public free school estab-
lished in Wisconsin, and probably the
first west of Chicago to the Pacific Ocean.
After the adoption of the state constitution
in 1913, Col. Frank was elected by tie
legislature one of the three commissioners
to revise the laws and adapt them to the
newsstate government. The commission
ers divided their labors, and the duty of
preparing free school code was assigned
to Col.sFrank That duty he performed,
and draft Of the law as he reported it
was adopted by the legislature without
material alteration. Hon. w. c.. Whit
ford, president of Milton college and for
merly state superintendent Of schools, IN
his history of Education in Wisconsin,
speaks of the services of Col Frank in the
cause of free school education. as follows:
1.-THE first free school ever established in
the state was organized in KenOSha in
1915 The leader in this movement was
Col. Frank. of that city, to whom the
state is also indebted, more than to any
other citizen, for her excellent system Of
free schools.
Col. Frank has occupied many other
prominent positions in the state, all of
which he has filled with great acceptance.
He was connected for some years with the
treasury department at Washington, and
while in that city was valuable cores
pondent to the State J0ur9aL To the
foregoing the Wisconsin State J0urn0l Of
April II. last, adds the following:
Col. Frau was born in Virgil, \. Y.
two years; commissioner to revise Il e
territorial laws and adapt them to the
state governments: chairman Of the rail-
road committee in the legislative assembly,
and regent of the state university; to this
is added. he was a member Of the assem-
bly, in 1861

sketch of few Of those who occupied the

LEANDER STONE.
Mr. Stone was born in Westfield. \. y,
in 1881, and when six years Old he came
west with his father and family to farm
six miles west of this place. The family

here he attended the school taught by l..
P. Harvey, who in after years was made
governor of the state In 1913 he obtained
a situation in the shoe store of +. w. Ly-
man, of this city, and two years later
entered the office of the Kenosha Democrat,
and next the office of the KenOsha IeJe-
qraph. He worked in the office OF the
Chicago J0urndI two years, and was called
to take a high position in the Kenosha
high school, In 1858, in company with
