The case OF Isaac Bishop, admin

against the Belle City Street Railway
company, in which damages of S., 900
we're asked for the life Of Mr.. Burch,
who was killed last winter, and III
HIS been appea ed To the supreme
court by the railway company and will
be rgued peXt week Thursday. The
circumstances of the case will be re-
membered about as follows: Mr.
Burch attended the funeral Of a friend
in Racine. His horse became frighten-
ed at a street car and he was thrown
and killed
-One of the Oshkosh churches, in
its printed program, naively makes an
announcement to this effect: Boys
VINO join the Sunday school after De-
cember l, will not be admitted to the
Christmas festival free of charge" The
iITepressiblt boy who Joins the Sunday
school just before the annual picnic or
the Christmas festival has long been
the object of attack by the newspaper
wits, together with the tramp, the
mother-in law, the plumber and the
coal man. He could stand it well
enough, but now that the preachers
have started after him, life will have
less attractions for him hereafter. 1t
is really too bad to use him SO. Why
don't some one start a movement to
give the lad festival or an excursion
anyway, whether he is a regular at
tendant or not? We are for the boys,

AERIAL TRAVEL,
Limitations Which Surround Animals i'll
Their Flight.


It is. evident that not one of these
would-be flying machine men has ever
seriously undertaken TO solve the prob
lem mentally, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. There is but one way Of getting
through the air by mechanical action,
and that is by cleavage. There are
really only two forms of cleavage, the
one as represented by wing action as
applied by insects and birds, the other
a rotary action as represented by the
screw of a steamer. TO the application
Of the wing principle there is limit
set by natural law, just as in animal
forms there is limit set to either BIZ
pedal or quadrupedal construction.
There is, perhaps, no form Of cleavage
that represents the expenditure of force
more economically than wing action as
manifested in the flight of wild goose.
Here is an exceptionally large avoir-
dupois for the wing area, but the bird
cannot carry any additional weight. In
the birds of prey, the body is lighter in
proportion to wing surface-a light,
compact frame, but immense muscular
action, capable of carrying for short
distance load of from eight to twelve
pounds. But the limit is soon found,
and there is not winged creature on
the earth weighing fifty pounds that
can mount into the air and cleave as
true flyer. Why do not the ostrich, the
great aux, the emu and other congeners
of these bird tribes properly fly, since
they are equipped with cleavers as are
other birds OF fight? Walkers and
swimmers, as we'll as flyers, are all, by
natural law, limited within certain re-
strictions, and it is remarkable that
these inventors have not learned this,
as it is fact of the utmost Importance,
and one which, in a careful analysis,
must early disclose itself.

Equally so to any unbiased English
thinker is the attitude of the leading

difficult, well-nigh impossible to make

Drivers about the city have

Another explanation is made about
that snow cleaning ordinance. This
time the authorities say that the ordi-
nance is to be enforced only immedi-
ately after a snow storm upon those
who do nothing to remove the snow
from their walks. Then there can be
no question concerning the reasonable
ness of the cleaning.

would be very much less on the prop
erty owners against whom the damages

Carl Miller Burglarized.

Carl Miller complained to the sheriff
Monday night that man had entered
his place on the North side. He said
that the fellow was dressed in rubber
coat, had on rubber shoes and hand
kerchief tied over his face, that he had
taken a quantity Of clothing, a watch
and a small amount Of money. He
was evidently fellow who knew some
thing about the place, since he
took the watch from place
where it was concealed from view
with shelf cover. He got into the
sleeping apartment of Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller and while in the act OF moving
the baby crib walked Mrs Miller. She
was so frightened that she did not call
her husband until he left the room.
Then by the time Mr.. Miller could get
out the fellow was gone. Mr.. Miller's
father followed the burglar a short dis
lance, but he was soon lost. Carl'then
came down and notified the sheriff.
Under Sheriff Harkins went to the
house, but could find no clue.

GET AFTER HIM.
Cooper is Now Looking UP
Harbor Matters.

Now is the time for the transpOrta-
ton committee of the Business Mems
association to get in what work is nee
essary in relation to Kenosha harbor.
Congressman II. A. Cooper has the
harbor matters under consideration
and has very recently been in Milwau-
kee looking up the plans for the neces-
saly work to be done on Racine harbor,
at the office Of Capt. Carl Palfrey, T..
S. harbor engineer
1t is unnecessary to press the import
ance of this action upon the members
of the committee having the matter III
charge, since they already have a
proper sense of its Importance, but
business men generally have not so far
been inclined to give the matter the at
tentiOn it deserves.
Mr.. Cooper's attention should be
called to the activity of business men
here. Frequency of such mention will
do not the least harm, and without
doubt would do a great deal toward
impressing Mr.. Cooper with the idea
that Kenosha business men are III earn
est: and in earnest they must be, since
so much of Kenosha's future prosperity
depends upon the proper fitting up of
the harbor so that it can be used by the
class of vessels which more and more
each year are taking the places of the
smaller craft. There is no denying the
fact that lake business is constantly
drifting to large boats. And the tom
mage increases every year.
Let Mr. Cooper's attention be called
to the matter in such a way that he
will be compelled to do something.
Now that he is pushing Racine harbor
improvements let him not forget ours.

TEACHERS MEETING.
An Enjoyable Time at Pleasant Prairie
Saturday April 90.

The third meeting of the Eastern
Teachers Association" was held at
District No. l, Pleasant Prairie, April
20.
The meeting was called to order by
the president Mr.. Costello
After the reading of the minutes OF
the last meeting, the roll was called, to
which eleven responded. We feel that
if more of our teachers would attend
these meetings, not only those who are
endeavoring to make them profitable,
would be encouraged, but they, them
selves would derive much that would
be helpful to them in their school work.
The exercise in reading led by Miss
Mcneil, was not only interesting but
profitable. This was followed by an
instructive discussion on Physiology
by our Supt., Mr.. Maloney.
Meeting adjourned at 1870 to meet
at lao p. m.
The meeting was again called to or
der by the President. All joined in
singing.
The afternoon session was to have
been devoted to geography in its three
1OlulSy UuU UNO vi UuO OACIClOOO OOlhS
absent, the time was spent in discussing
the subject in the primary form, and
penmanship.
Miss Fannie Bishop led the exercise
in geography, bringing forth many
practical ideas. Our Supt. gave us an
interesting report of penmanship as
presented at the recent meeting OF
teachers at Milwaukee.
After the incidental business the
meeting adjourned to meet at Somers,

And do you think that pitiful little
81, 900, 900 which the government coined
into $14, 100000 brought hard times
when the buying and coming of $419,
100000 made the nation prosperous all
the time ?
".Oh, dear, no.? said Coin. that's
preposterous.'
"'Then what made the hard times?
wlrat made the English rush to get our
gold?'
Coin was silent again.
g 'I'll tell you, Coin | said. what
made the British pounce upon our gold?
At the money convention at Brussels
all the civilized Tations declared against
free coinage, brt- each nation agreed to
stand by it's own coined silver and keep
it as good as god
"'Did they do it, asked Coin.
"'Why, es-all of them, but some of
our idiots crawfished. They said we
will pay our bonds in debased silver
dollars worth AZ cents. We will repu-
diate. Of course our government
could not do that, but the English got
frightened. They rushed our bonds in
and demanded gold while they could
get it. Do you blame themY
"'No,' said Coin, they simply got
frightened. | don't blame them
Nov, Coin, | continued, 'our coin

it for double its value, as you free coin

BLAZE IN PLEASANT PRAIRIE.
Disastrous Fire on the Burr Oak
Farm

Disastrous Fire on the Burr Oak
Farm.
Monday forenoon about IL o'clock
flames were discovered issuing from
the roof of the building known as the
" old cheese house." on the Burr Oak
farm, seven miles west of Kenosha.
The farm is owned by S. FL. Seaman, of
Milwaukee. The building was used as
sort Of store house and also as a
bunking place for the farm hands. 1t
was totally destroyed, together with
700 bushels of oats, 400 bushels of po-
tatoes and all the repairs and tools be-
longing to the farm machinery. The
loss is about $1,000, insurance only
1925. The origin of the fire is I'M
known.
