SCHOOL BOARD MEET
BOARD OF EDUCATION DECIDE TO
OPEN MORE ROOMS.
CITY SCHOOLS CROWDED AGAIN
One More Room at the Deming Building
Will Be Opened and Another Room
Must be Found on the North Side
New Board Not Installed.

The Board of Education held their
regular monthly meeting Tuesday
night at the Central school building,
all the members being present except
Commissioner Burg. Several members
of the Board we're anxious to attend the
soiree at the Council rooms and the
business was sent through with rush.
No effort was made to organize the new
Board, as the canvass of the votes had
not yet been made, and hence the new
members were not present. The meet
ing adjourned for one week, at which
time the new Board will be organized.
After allowing the usual number of
bills and transacting the usual routine
business, the Board had a lively dis
cussion over the crowded condition of
the schools on both sides of the river.
Both the room in the North side engine
house and Miss Blackman's at the
Deming school, were overlooking and
some action must be taken at once to
provide for the influx of spring primary
pupils. For the purpose of relieving
these troubles a committee was ap-
pointed to procure an additional place
for primary room, for which new
teacher will be employed. 1t was also
decided to open another room at the
Deming school and new teacher will
be employed to take some of the pupils
now undar Miss Rlackman.
Superintendent McDowell's term
expired last night, but the re election
of the superintendent or the election of
his successor was laid over for the new
Board.

town trumpeter and an operate
singer, and young Rossini made his
first appearance before the world of art
at the age of seven when he sang the
part of a child at the Bologna opera
=" Nothing, said Nine. Georgi Righetti
could be imagined more tender,
more touching, than the voice and
action of this remarkable child"

A GREAT POOL GAME,
Eby and HorganaEngage in Battle Royal
at schmitts Parlor.

One of the finest exhibitions of sci
entifc pool playing ever seen in
Kenosha was the game played last
night at the Schmitt Bros. billiard hall
between Ely and Horgan, the two we'll
known professional players.
The game was the first of a series of
two games of $50 points each, and re-
suited in an easy victory for Ely by a
score of 1873 to 80. The game was
witnessed by large crowd of people,
and the clever playing of the experts
was loudly applauded.
In the early part of the match
Horgan had everything his own way,
but during the latter racks Eby de-
veloped a mania for driving the fifteen
balls to the pocket, and he easily over
cane the lead of his opponent, and
WOO out in a canter. The official score
was as follows:
Eby-12, 2, 8, 10, 5, 8, ID, u, IS,
10, Is, Is, IL, Is. 10. Total - 100.
Scratches 2; net total 158.
Horgan-3, Is, Is, z, 2, 9, II, 2, 3,
0, 5-45. Total 80.
The decisive game in the contest will
be played this evening.

perquisites and the matter was laid
over for the next Council.

EARNINGS OF RAILWAYS
THE ACTUAL RECEIPTS SHOW IN
CREAsEs OVER ESTIMATES.
Large increases I'm Revenue from Pas.
senser Service-Personal and
miscellaneous.

Last week the Pennsylvania headed the
list of companies making returns, with the
greatest earnings in it's history in the month
OF July. the gross increase being 81, 10000.
The Lehigh Valley made an Improvement
equal TO 100000 in the same month; Atchi-
son increased nearly 1900 in net; the Chi
cago. Burlington & Quincy $4,000 and the
Louisville & Nashville $4,000 in net The
st. Pauls gross earnings in July were $Si9,-
COO larger than in 1898. For six months end
ing June 30 on 200 roads, with a mileage of
1883 miles, the gross earnings increased
$57. .262. or 6.s5 per cent. This increase,
as the Financial Chronicle points out, would
be increased 10 at least $40O00,OO0 If all the
roads in the country had reported, and it
follows an increase in the first half of last
year of S70000.00o, so that the increase over
1897 is s110.00O.000. These tremendous figures
give an idea Of the growth of the business
of the railways in the short space of two
years. The following roads increased more
than 81 100000 in gross earnings in the first
six months Of this year: The Pennsylvania
roads. on lines directly operated east and
