A PLEASANT PARTY.
Mrs. A. s. Barber Entertains in Honor of
Her SEVENTEEN Birthday.

The home of MRS. A. S. Barber on
West street was the scene of a very
pleasant and memorable occasion on
Thursday afternoon. A number of the
older ladies of the neighborhood had
been invited to spend the afternoon
with Mrs. Barber in celebration of her
SEVENTEEN birthday.
The afternoon was spent in most
enjoyable manner and the varied
"reminiscences of the lives of these old
friends and neighbors furnished sub
iects of conversation both interesting
and entertaining.
The hours flew quickly until the
close of the afternoon when delightful
dinner was served by the hostess. The
notable feature of the dinner was the
fact that it was entirely prepared by
Mrs. Barber herself. The manner in
which the dainty repast was served
proved the fact that the three score
and ten years of hostess did not de-
tract from her ability in this direction.
Mrs. Barber is to be congratulated
upon the fact that time has dealt so
lightly with her and it is the wish of
her friends that she may survive to
celebrate many more such pleasant
birthday anniversaries.

THE SCHOOL CENSUS.
ANNUAL ENUMERATION COMPLETED
BY. KRONCKE THIS MORNING.
SHOWS GREAT ADVANCEMENT
During the Past Year the Number of
children of School Age Has Increased
Nearly sO0-Lessons From Figures
of the Census Taker

This morning Jacob Kroncke after
months labor completed the work of
taking the school census of the city.
The report of Mr.. Kroncke, which will
be presented to the Board of Education
at it's next meeting, will be of more
than ordinary interest to the people Of
the city, as it is an index of the rapid
growth of the city during the year just
past. The report of Mr.. Kroncke
shows that there are total of 1907
children of the school age in the city of
Kenosha and in the joint school dis
tricts of Somers and Pleasant Prairie
1t is impossible to compare the census
this year with that of previous years to
show the growth by wards, as the
boundaries of all the wards have been
changed. The total for last year,
however, as compared with the total
for this year, shows an increase of 270
children OF the school age. The tabu
lated report of the census is as follows:

Grand total. 1888 1874 1918 928 755 1907
A glance at these figures shows that
the Third ward is the banner ward
with total of sos children between
the ages of 4 and 20 years. The
Fourth ward is second with total of
$50, while the Eighth ward, usually a
leader, drops down to third place with
total of $50 children of the school
age. The gain of 270 in the number of
the children of the school age shows
that during the past year the city has
increased almost 1000 people in
population.
The report shows that the private
schools are doing great work in this
city. This is especially noticeable
among the younger children of the
North side. In both the North wards
the reports shows that large majority
of children between the ages Of 7 and
Ii are being educated at the private
schools provided by the Catholic and
Lutheran churches. These schools
during the year have had an attendance
of 755 children.
In the public schools the attendance
has been greatly increased and it is
estimated that over 5000 children are
now receiving instruction at the ex-
pense of the city.
The greatest growth has been re-
corded in the south wards and this fact
is warning to the School Board that
by the end of she year the present
accommodations on this side of the
river, as we'll as on the north side, will
be altogether inadequate to the de-
mands of the growing popula ton. The
private schools are all crowded and
cannot be asked to care for the educa-
ton of anymore children than they are
now accommodating.
The growth in the joint districts of
Somers and Pleasant Prairie during the
year has been small-in fact, the report
shows that the advance in these
districts has been only two children,
but there is now large part of the
town of Somers seeking admission to
the joint district and should their re-
quest be granted the number of chill
dren in these districts will be at least
one hundred greater.
The report of the census is indeed a
favorable one and speaks we'll for the
management:of the school during the
past year.

MAKE AUTOMOBILES.
CHAS. H. SIEG MFG COMPANY RE-
ORGANIZES ON A NEW BASIS.
PLANT WILL BE ENLARGED
Company will Practically Give up the
Manufacture of Bicycles and Will
Manufacture Automobiles
and Gasoline Engines.

Some very important factory news
was given out today in regard to the
Charles 81. Sieg manufacturing com
pany and from the latest developments
it seems that prosperous future for
the plant is now assured.
Last evening at meeting of the
stockholders it was decided that the
company should be reorganized on a
new basis This plan has been on foot
ever since the close of the bicycle
making season, but the details were
not completed until last evening.
According to the new arrangements
the company will practically retire
from the ranks of the builders of BIZ
cycles and will enter the field of makers
of gasoline engines and automobiles.
According to the reports showed the
company has not been forced to aban-
don the work of making wheels because
it was improbable, as the returns from
tho business last season was little
ever 30 per cent of the capital invested.
The change is said to have been
made wholly on account of the fact
that there is better opening for the
manufacture of automobiles than for
the continuance OF the business under
the present plan. Mr.. Sieg was seen
this afternoon and confirmed the report
of a change in the policy of the COM
pany. He said that the Sieg works
had been very successful during the
past season, but the stockholders had
decided to make change in the pro-
ducts of the works. He admitted that
he had arranged with Chicago capital
lists to enlarge the plant and in the
future the company would engage in
the manufacture of bicycle parts on a
large scale, but that the principal
business would be the manufacture of
horseless carriages. He said that the
company would continue the manufac-
ture of wheels, but that would be only
a small department of the work. Mr..
Sieg was reticent in speaking of the
proposed changes and said that he did
not care to say what changes would be
made in the factory or as to who the
people were who we're furnishing the
added capital stock.
The work on the remodeling the
factory has already begun and the
machinery for the manufacture of the
new products has been ordered. 1t is
expected that the new machinery will
be in position in about month and the
factory will open for business on the
new line about the 1st of September
All the people of the city will be glad
to hear of these changes, as they assure
more manufacturing interest in the
city. All the Sieg men now unemployed
will be employed by the reOrganized
company and the new lines will demand
the employment of large additional
force.
Mr.. Sieg, who has been so successful
in the management of the plant during
the past year under very adverse cir
cumstances, will remain at the head of
the reorganized company.

EVER wATCHFUL.
Constantly On the Alert is the only
Guarantee of the Future

When we hear of burglary in our
neighhorheod, we always take the
most careful precaution to fasten and
lock up our premises. When we read
a danger" sign, we heed its warning
None but the reckless rush into dan
gerous places unless compelled by
necessity, and still thousands upon
thousands receive note of warning
daily, danger signal of deep import,
and do not give it a passing thought.
A little backache, a twinge, atwitch,
or pains in the back, are not very hard
to bear at first, but they're a warning,
a danger signal of what's coming.
Most backache pains are due to kidney
disorders; pass them by unnoticed and
the kidneys become more troubled. In
time urinary complaints, Bright's dis
ease and death result. Be ever watch
full of a backache A few doses of
Doan's Kidney Pills taken at the
proper time will save future trouble,
perhaps life itself.
Mr.. Geo. Landon, of 1906 Douglas
Ave-, Racine, harness maker, employed
at Lobdell's shop on Fourth St., says.
" About the first of March, 1893, used
Doan's Kidney Pills. They did me
good and they are worthy kidney
remedy. My kidneys had been out of
order for long time, causing my back
to ache and making it hard for me so
stand or sit in one position very long at
time or to sto0p The kidney seCre-
tons were irregular, discolored and
contained a sediment. A day or two
after beginning the treatment with
Doan's Kidney Pills / began to i'm
prove and from that time on [ steadily
grew better. On completing the treat
ment my back felt stronger than it had
for months, and the kidney secretiOns
were clear and mole natural in their
