Got the Clothes.
delegates.

Chief of Police Barber has succeeded
in recovering the suit of clothes stolen
from William Kirk near Spring Bluff
last Sunday. The man who took the
clothes had sold them to a farmer two
miles south of Racine and then made
good his escape. The work of the
chief on this case is surely worthy of
great credit as he got out at an early
morning hour Monday and has worked
hard on the case ever since. Mr., Kirk
was in the Office today and says that
the chiefs work in locating and recov-
ering the clothes was exceedingly kind
of him since the robbery was commit
ted outside of his territory. He has
nothing but good words for the Keno
sha chief and his men.

ACCEPT NEW PLANS.
NEW SCHOOL WILL BE HURRIED
TO COMPLETION.
WILL USE CHEAPER MATERIAL,
But the Appearance OF the New Building
Will Not be Modified By Change
in Plans.-Gazette Gets
Some Hot Roasts

The board of education met in regu-
lar session at the High school building
Tuesday evening for the purpose of
reconsidering the plans for the build
ing of six room building in the Third
ward. The building committee report
ed that two sets of plans had been
received, one from Pond & Pond and
one from Van Ryn & De Geleke. The
trouble with the former plans was the
fact that none of the contractors were
willing to take the contract for build
ing the building under $4,000 The
board are limited in their expenditure
for this purpose, and for this reason all
bids were rejected and the architects
we're ordered to cut down the cost of
the building by a revisement of the
specifications Both of the architects
sent revised plans, sbut after some dis
cussion theSVan Ryn plan was accept
ed. In form and structure the plan as
adopted last nightsdoes not in any way
vary from the originalsplans drawn.
The pitch lof the roof is changed
from One-half to one third and the
stone cutters have been taken off and
iron ones substituted. The original
plans called....for high foundation of
stone, but the Eplans from which the
building will be built will have foun-
dation of pavingsbrick. Mr.. Van Ryn
says that he is certain the building can
be built according to his plan for
$4,000. The secretary of the board
was ordered to advertise for bids at
once, in order....that thes building could
be gotten under, Sway as soon as posi-
BILE. These bids will be opened at a
special meeting on week from next
Thursday evening.
The old question of the line fence
between the Durkee school and adioin-
ing property was brought up and it
was announced that three parties still
owed the city for this work.
The entireEmatter was turned over to
Commissioner Bendt, to arrange for a
settlement.
The committeeESon,I buildings and
grounds reported that a great deal of
repair work was needed about the
buildings, and the Board gave them
full power to do theg work. Among
other repairs the Durkee and Frank
buildings will9~be painted and a new
walk will be laid Faround the Second
ward building.
Janitor Senne, of the Second ward
school, was re-engaged, with an ir-
crease of 500 in salary. The old
janitor was highly complimented by
several members of Bthe Board on the
splendid manners in which he looked
after the school: property on the North
side.
The usual number of bills were al
lowed, and the superintendent was
ordered to place the war revenue
stamps used blythe Board in the future.
just before the meeting adjourned
the reporter of the Daily Gazette, to-
gether with the president and secretary
of the Board, got up first class dis
cussion, and the reporter got terrible
resting.

COWIE RELEASED
Former Fire Detective Leaves Joliet Prison
at Last.

A letter was received in this city this
morning stating that F. G.. COWie the
ex-fre detective who figured in the
great arson trial has been released from
the state prison at Joliet, to which
place he was sentssfor an indefinite
sentence on charge of kidnapping B..
Hutfer and bringing him to this city to
testify against Perrin and the Others
concerned in the great arson trial.
COwie made personal application to
the board of pardOns at a recent visit
of the board to the penitentiary and he
was released at once. He is now in
Chicago gathering up the scattered
ends of his business which was broken
down by the trial for kidnapping. Mr..
COwle has only kind words for his Ke-
nosha friends, who he says Ihave stood
by him nobly. He is very bitter against
the men who were instrumental against
him in the recent trial and one of them
may be indicted for.Vperjury. The
board of pardOns have been exceeding
ly good to Cowie but it is the opinion
of most of the citizens in the city who
are acquainted with the case that his
year of penal service was undeserved
and that he was innocent of all the
charges brought against him and many
will be glad to know of his release from
prison.

IT is matter for sincere regret that
any story of strained relations between
Sampson and Schley growing out of
the battle of Santiago should become so
generally circulated before there ap-
pears to be any substantial basis for
the report. 1t is pity that the glory
of that event should be dimmed by so
bald an example of selfshness and
ambition as any contention for honors
by either of the officials in charge
would provide. . The performance,
whoever led it, was magnificent one
and unstinted honor attaches to each
and all of those who took any part in
che engagement. Who commanded
the vessels in the struggle or whether
or not they had a commander seems to
be an unanswered question. The run
of Cervera was unexpected, the Amer
lean fleet scattered and altogether the
battle was precipitated so quickly and
suddenly that it is doubtful it any one
took charge. 1t is very probable that
under the circumstances each individ-
ual captain saw the immediate neces-
sity, acted upon it and gave chase.
The New York being away the Brook
Ign had all the advantage in speed.
The Oregon, the Texas and the others
followed as rapidly as their huge bulk
and great weight would allow, but they
are naturally incapacitated for getting
into running fight on the same ground
with a swift cruiser like the Brooklyn.
Owing to these advantages Commodore
Schley's ship was first in at the death
His vessel bore the brunt of the battle,
received the heaviest blows and un-
doubtedly deserves the bulk of the
credit for cutting off the escape of Ad-
miral Cervera and his feet. But all
the credit we may give to Schley does
in no sense detract from that of the
mainder of the boats engaged. From
the officers and crews of the Oregon
and Texas down to the men aboard
the little converted yacht Gloucester,
every man acted with .cOnsummate bra
very and skill, taking all the RESPONSE
bility and most effectually doing all the
work calculated to assist in the defeat
of the enemy that their boats and posi-
ton gave them when the rush took
place. When the end came Cervera
very properly surrendered to the Com
mander in Chief, but outside of this
single event Sampson belongs in the
same category with the rest of the men
who did all that circumstances would
allow, but prevented from taking a
leading part. When the final official
report comes from Admiral Sampson
himself it will probably prove that the
" unpleasantness" between himself and
Schley is only the phantom of some
correspondence heat oppressed brain.
No one knows better than he to whom
the credit belongs nor is any more
willing to give honor where honor is
due.

GEORGE S. PERRIN DEAD.
Famous Criminal is Reporteds to Have
Died at Waupun.

George S. Perrin who was sent to
the state prison at Waupun from this
city several years ago on account of his
connection with the burning of the
American Bedding Company's plant is
reported to have died in prison over
two weeks ago. An effort was made
to verify the report but the District
Attorney and other officials when seen
stated that while they had heard the
report they had received no official
confirmation from any of the state au-
thorities at Waupun.
It is known that PERKINS, confinement
has had telling effect on his health

the report were true.

PAY OF TRAINED NURSES.
TheIr Duties Are Sometimes Very Ar
duous, and Continuous Work Is
Next to Impossible.

The average sum paid to pupil nurses
is ten dollars a month for the first wear
and $l4 a month during the second
year. writes Elisabeth Robinson Scovij
in the Ladies' Home Journal The re-
muneration varies in different institu.
tlons. In a few training schools the
nurses are paid nothing. After gradua-
tion head nurses in hospital wards re-
ceive from $50 to $50 per month; su-
perintendents from $500 to 81 200 n wear.
District nurses, who are EMPLOYED bv
various churches, societies, and some
times by private benevolence 10 work
among the sick poor, receive about the
same salary as head nurse in hospi-
tai, exclusive of board.
Private nurses receive from SIS to So5
week. They have. to pay the rent of
room to use as headquarters, and
their earnings are more or less pre-
carious. 1t is rare for nurse to be EN-.
Ployed all the time, and her work is so
arduous that 1t would be impossible for
her to stand the strain of continuous
work.
