SCHOOLS REOPEN.
GREAT CROWD OF CHILDREN
SEEK PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.
ALL BUILDINGS ARE CROWDED
Great Increase in Country Students and
High schoo1-Two New Depart
ments Add Efficiency
to the Work.

The public schools opened their
doors for the years work Monday morn
ing and all the streets we're crowded
with unwilling children who have again
taken their states and pencils and
started in fer another year in the edu-
cational lines. The attendance in all
parts of the city is tremendous and al
ready the superintendent and profess
sors are planning for some way in
which to find room for the great influx
of new students.
The attendance last year was 1850,
but this year fully 800 more students
must be accommodated. The attend
ance from the country also shows a
great increase and thirty nonresident
students have already been registered.
The work of classification was begun
this morning, but will not be finished
for several days, and not until that
is done can the Principal give any fig
ures on the attendance. The attend,
ance at the High school is especially
large. Parochial and private schools,
as well as the lower grades of the city
schools have placed enough students
this year to make the class of 1903 the
largest Freshman class that ever en-
tered the school, The attendance at
the High school this morning was 1872
and quite number are yet to come in.
The rooms in this department are all
crowded and in many places two stu
dents are required to sit in one seat.
The work in the schools this year
will be greatly increased by the addi-
ton of two new departments. Special
attention will be given to history and
historical literature and the course in
this valuable branch of information
will be made as near as possible equal
to the courses offered in the UNIVERSE
ties of the state. The department of
history will be in charge of Miss Grace
Barber.
Another innovation ia the new year
will be the introduction of music and
drawing. Mrs. Marie Miller, who will
have charge of these departments, has
had great deal of experience and the
courses will be as thorough as they are
practical. Lack of room, however,
will seriously interfere with the music
work in the High school and on this
account the work will be omitted
during the fall term.
The schools are starting out the new
year under the most suspicious cir
cumstances. The Board of Education
has spared neither time nor money to
make the equipments in all depart
ments as good as the best, and with a
thoroughly competent staff of teachers
the year promises to be the most sue
cessful in the history of Kenosha
schools.
The changes in text books for the
year will be very few and the parents
will be put to only very light expense
in this line.

NON-sUIT GRANTED.
John Dauben Loses His Suit Against the
Sterling Cycle Works

The suit for damages brought
against the Sterling Cycle Works was
concluded Tuesday morning by the
Judge granting the attorneys for defense
a non-suit on the grounds of an as
sumed risk taken by Dauben in con-
tinuing the work at the machine. The
machine on which Dauben was working,
according to the evidence produced
was poorly placed, and when he com
planned to the foreman the latter
agreed to have iG remedied if Dauben
would finish the work he had on hand.
To this Dauben assented and in this
manner the Judge decided that he had
forfeited all demands for damages by
his action. No testimony was intro
duced by the defense.

Very Touching Services at st. George
Church.

CuuTCus
St. Georges church was crowded to
it's fullest capacity Sunday, the occa-
sion being the last day of the ministry
of Father Henry Dreis. An air of sad
ness pervaded the temple and all
seemed greatly disappointed that
Father Henry had not been permitted
to remain with the Kenosha church.
After the usual high mass Father
Henry made short farewell address
talk to the congregation. He spoke of
the kindly feeling that had always ex-
listed between the pastor and church.
He said that he would be only too glad
to spend the remainder of his duys in
serving st. Georges congregation and
it was with many regrets that he ac-
cepted the Archbishop's mandate and
consented to go to Saukville. The
we'll beloved priest will leave on next
Wednesday, but before he begins his
work in the new field of labor he will
enjoy a months vacation, a well de-
served and much needed rest. 1t is
greatly to be deplored that Father
Henry has been removed from Kenosha
at a time when he is able to do so much
good for the church and people in this
city.
Father Elskamp is expected to ar
rive in this city Tuesday and it is safe
to say that his welcome will not be a
very enthusiastic one.

the Famous Bull Case.
Judge Fish decided Tuesday morning
unfavOrably in the matter of granting a
new trial in the famous bull case of
Hauser VS.. Whitley. The case had
been before the Circuit Court for many
sessions and a short time ago the
plaintiff in the suit, Peter Hauser, was
awarded judgment for $4,000 against
the defendant. A"'ssmotion for new
trial was at once began and the argu-
ment took several days for it's compile
ton. The Judges decision will prob
ably end the case, as itsis~said it will
not be appeaIedlto higher courts.
The case became famous. Hauser
was farm hand and employed by the
Whitelys. Among other. duties he was
forced to care for buIlsswhich was ex-
ceedingly dangerous and at one time
the animal turned on him and gored
him in a horrible manner. The trial
lasted several days and the jury rem
dered verdict giving Hauser $4,000

5AoAoaha was given a picture Of true
soldier life Monday evening, when
troop A of the LIST Wisconsin came into
the city to camp for the night, after a
ride from Geneva, ILL., The troop
reached the city about five o'clock,
and in very short time the tents of
the camp began to rise on the Carrie
Lee property on Deming street.
Troop A is the pride of the Wiscon-
sin cavalry, and consists of many of
the best known young men in Milwau
kee. 1t is true that the troop did not
take part in the Spanish American
war, but this fact did not in any way
take away the curiosity of the citizens
who thronged about the camp anxious
to share the honor of other citizens in
welcoming something that at least
looked like soldiers. The members of
the military company have been hold
ing their annual ride and we're en- route
home. Their long rides through rain
and sun have made them as brown as
any returning regiment which was in
the thickest Of the fray in Cuba. A
call at the officers tent found every
thing in excellent shape, and the colors
of the company floating proudly from
the entrance. The officers of the
company were Capt. W. G. Grant, LIST
Lieut.. W. FL. Halsey, Quarter Master
Fred Coe and Acting LIST Sergeant
Waiter O'Neil.

Ravenswood Oak Park and Waukegan
to Have Courses.
The remarkable success attending
the Women's golf tournament at Lake
Forest, under the auspices of the On
wentsia Country club, is having it's
effects in creating added enthusiasm
for the ancient and honorable" game.
RavensWood is making arrangement
for a golf course, which will surpass the
links of her neighbors in Evanston and
Edgewater, and the Westward Ho Golf
club at Oak Park is studying plans for
a larger course and fine club house.
The first annual tournament will be
given early in October with cups as
prizes. Waukegan golfers are arrang-
ing a nine hole course, which will be
turned into an eighteen hole course
later in the fall. The addition of these
liks will relieve the many applicants on
the waiting lists of the present estab-

Honor of Father Henry Dreis.
The st. Aloysius cadets have become
thing of the past, and at Monday
nights meeting it was decided to
change the name to ST. Henry cadets

has ever had a warm interest in the
cadet company. The meeting last
night was very interesting one.
Father Henry was present and made
long talk to the boys. The years
business was also closed up, and showed
the cadet company to be in a splendid
financial condition.

STANDS BY HIS RECORD.
General Miles Challenges Anybody to
AssaiI It

New York, Nov. 15.-Genera1 Miles
was interviewed last night relative to
the publication in a Washington paper
of the statement that, either by accident
or design. there was omitted from his
report any mention of an order which
he issued on May 9, contemplating the
sending of all the available army to
Cuba at once. General Miles said he
had not seen the article. 1t was handed
to him. After he had read it, he said:
Il have no comment to make on the
report. If they have any such order
of mine in Washington let them publish
it. My position in the matter of send
ing troops to the fever-stricken dis
tricts of Cuba is we'll known, and am
satisfied to stand by my record
Il have been unalterably opposed to
sending troops into any of the hot beds
of fever, such as Santiago and other
infected places and at no time have 1
deviated from the line of conduct I ad-
vised-
LAS to sending such troops into the
healthy districts, where they were need
ed to assist the native soldiers and
insurgents in keeping the country in
order that is another matter. Small
detachments might have been sent to
the country free of fever and with
perfect safety.
IF any order from me can be found
which changes my position in the mat
ter am willing to see it published"

council of Stuart passed a resolution
some weeks ago requesting the secre-

the naval academy but Secretary Long
declined to do so because Diegnan was
a trif1e over age and the secretary was
opposed to establishing such a pre-
cedent.
A special act of congress is necessary
