WILL BUILD AT ONCE
ST. GEORGES CHURCH TRUSTEES
ACCEPT THE PLANS.
WILL BE A FINE BUILDING
Board of Trustees Appoint a Building
Committee and order Work to Begin
at once SO the New Hall Can be
Completed by July 1st.

The board of trustees of st. Georges
church held a special meeting Sunday
afternoon, for the purpose of deciding
the question of the congregation erect
ing new hall for the use of the differ
ent societies of the church.
The trustees were almost unanimous
in their decision that the hall should
be built and decided to begin the work
at once. For this purpose a special
building committee was appointed,
consisting of Rev. Elskamp, the mem
bers of the board of the trustees and
the following gentlemen, M. P. Schmitz,
Hubert Schwan, Peter Lippert, G. F.
Stemm, Charles Boerner and Peter
Jacobs.
The new building will be located on
the corner of Milwaukee avenue and
Oak street, and in order to make room
for it the house occupied by the Sisters
of Notre Dame will be moved farther
north. When completed the proposed
hall will be the most beautiful building
on the North side.
While the architects designs have
not yet been accepted, the general
plan of the building was agreed upon
by the trustees at the meeting Sunday.
The building will cost about $4,000.
1t will be three stories high, constructed
entirely of brick, stone and iron and
will be made fire proof. The lower or
basement floor will be built for a
gymnasium and rooms are also planned
in this portion of the building for
library and reading rooms. The main
floor will contain large assembly hall
with a seating capacity of over 800, and
all the necessary equipments for the
different socialfunctions given annually
by the church and the societies connect
ed with it, The third floor will be
used as meeting rooms by the societies
and in one part an armorJ will prob
ably be built for the use of st. Henry's
cadets. The construction OF the build
ing and securing the necessary funds
for this purpose will be left entirely to
the committee. The architectural
work will be done either by Mr.. Dick
haut, of this city, or Mr.. McLeary, of
Milwaukee.
ThecOmmittee will meet next Sunday
and accept the plans, after which work
will begin as soon as the weather will
permit. The committee are arranging
to have the hall ready for dedication
by the 1st of July.

OFF FOR FLORIDA WATERS
Charles ouarles' Sally on John 7. Fish
as He Departs for the South

" Commodore" Charles Quarles was
making his way with rapid stride
toward the railway station yesterdays
afternoon for the purpose of going to-
Florida to indulge his propensity fer
deep sea fishing. He was met by john
I. Fish, the lawyer, who exclaimed:
" Send me shark, Charley"
All right, Fish, you need anotheriD
your office!"
There was a peal of laughter, and
then the commodore hurried away
trainward.
Il have had a lot of white caps
made for the officers and crew of my
schooner" said Mr.. Quarles before,
leaving for his nautical expedition.
" The manufacturer took the trouble to.
work gold anchor on the front of one
of them, which he sent as present to-
j. " 1t may be all right, so far as
land lubbers are concerned, for j. "
to wear the fancy hat, but when we get
to sea, you can bet, no common seaman
will be allowed to wear a better cap
than the commodore. Joes hat win 60.
on this head"
Mr.. Quarles, accompanied by his son
Louis, took the 4 o'clock train for
Florida. They were joined at Kenosha
by E. G. Theirs, and will be met Mon
day at Jacksonville by Senator j. V.
Quarles, who, with Senator SpOoner,
has left Washington for that place.
The expedition will last about fOuF
weeks. Senator Spooner will not go OF

PLAN A DAIRY TRUST.
Milk Shippers are to be Given Protection
From irresponsible Buyers.


Efforts looking toward the formation
of dairy trust, compared to which
Joseph Letters proposed milk combi-
nation appears insignificant, are being
made in Chicago. Representatives of
powerful New York and English CAPT
talists will come there this week, it is
said, to confer with local promoters of
the enterprise. The plan is to secore
control Of the entire output of all the
dairies and creameries east of the
Rocky Mountains and to dispose of
milk to distributors in the large cities,
the surplus to be turned into butter,
cheese, and other commercial products
for the domestic and foreign trade.
The proposed capitalization is $780,
O0O,0O
Negotiations were opened as early as
last August. At the meeting last week
of the Chicago Shippers union the
shippers were offered five-year con-
tract, with a stipulation for annual
agreement as to prices, and it was fa-
vorably received, and in some cases
accepted.
TIL most active local promoter is j.
L. jackson, of Chicago, who assisted
in forming the Milk Shippers union.
The proposition was to have an agent
of tLo truss on every Chicago milk
train, who would be provided with
cash to pay each day for all milk taken
aboard.
This proposition is said to have been
found attractive by the $500 shippers
to Chicago, as they have no end of
trouble collecting from irresponsible
milk,nen. The organization of the
union has helped matters to some ex
ten 4as there is a system of reporting
COM parable to that of commercial
agency, but the matter of collections
is still occasion for anxiety.
Control of the milk at the shipping
point is recognized as the keynote of
the situation, as it requires practically
no capital to become dealer. The
foreign trade is to be developed in &C
cordaDce with recommendations of the
Department of Agriculture.
There are 100000 cows in the FIVE
dairy States around Chicago. The
trust will, it is expected, content itself
witt commission of five cents a can
ON Mix shipped to the cities. The
daily Chicago shipment of 10000 cans
at this rate would afford revenue of
$500 a day.

TO CONFER WITH CONTRACTORS
Kenosha Labor Unions and Builders to
Meet On Friday Night.

Kenosha Labor Unions and Builders to
Meet On Friday Night
Steps are being taken by the local.
union labor leaders to enforce the
demands for an increase of wages
which will be made this spring by the
various building trades. Every effort
will be made to settle the differences
amicably in order that no work may be
delayed by labor troubles during the
coming spring. In order to settle
these questions announcement has been
made that the building contractors of
the city and the union labor leaders
will hold a conference on next Friday
night. The meeting will be attended
by Martin Jesko of Racine and Frank
j. Weber, the state organizer of the
American Federation of Labor. The
result, it is expected, will be an agree
ment for the season upon the conditions
under which the union men Keno8ba
shall work.
The meeting is called simultaneously
with similar meetings in all parts OF the
state and the Kenosha laboring men
will undoubtedly do everything in their
power to assist this general movement
to secure proper recognition of their
demands at the hands of the building
contractors.

A BUSY LIFE.
A Short Account of the Life of Hon Lath-
rop Burgess.

rop Burgess.
On March IL, at the home of his son
D. L. Burgess, in Brighton, after an
illness of two weeks, Lathrop Burgess,
one of the early pioneers of this state,
entered into the life beyond. The
funeral was held Monday, the 18th inst.
Lathrop Burgess was born in Chatam,
Columbia Co., n. Y, August 81, 1905
To few men is it given to live'sO long
and beautiful lite. Coming to Keno
sha county in 1888, Mr.. Burgess name
is identified with every movement in
the early history of the county.
In 1923 Lathrop Burgess married
Miss Irene White and their early mar
ried life was passed in Carbonate, Pa.
Ten years later found them journeying
with wagon and horses to the distant
west and founding their home in
Brighton, where for sixty-one years
Mr.. Burgess has lived blameless life,
honored and respected throughout the
entire community.
.n Some of the first buildings in Bur-
lington, Wis, were constructed by Mr.
Burgess in the early '40's. This ener-
getic pioneer used to walk from his
home in Brighton to Burlington, dis
lance of twelve miles, at a time when
there was not house between the two
villages, his way guided by marks
made on trees.
Mr.. Burgess held Offices of profit and
trust in his own town and twice repre-
sentad the county in the state legisla-
ture. He was always a strong sup
porter of the Republican party and was
one of six to vote the first Republican
ticket in the town of Brighton. Nearly
fifty years ago the progressive spirit of
Mr.. Burgess led him to purchase, at his
own expense, a number of books and
start a circulating library among his
neighbors. A few days after the
fftieth anniversary of their marriage in
September, 1873, Mrs. Burgess was
called home. Only three children of a
family of eight survive the father.
They are Arius A. Burgess, Dwight L.
Burgess and Mrs. John G.. Weed.

DETAILS OF THE CAPTURE.
Stars and Stripes Were Hoisted by
the Marines.

Manila. Feb. 14-11:5O a. m.-Partfcu-
lars of the capture of IloiIo by the Uni
ted States forces under Briga dier Cen
eral Miller, on Saturday last have been
received here.
On the morning of Friday, February
10, Gen. Miller sent an Hltimatum to
the commander of the rebels on shore
notifying him that it was his intention
TO take 1loilo, by force if necessary
Non-combatantS and foreigners wera
warned to leave the town within "a
hours The insurgents were also warned
that they must make no further belli-
gerent preparations.
The gunboat Petrol was then moved
TO a position close in shore and near
the insurgent fort, while the cruiser
Bostoo took up her station al the other
end of the town.
Friday passed quietly. During the day
many refugees left the town of IloiIo.
Ihe majority of them were taken on
Dor.
searchlights from the United States
warsh1ps were kept all night long il
1G, Eliminating the town and its defences.
Ihe insurgents so far as the outlooks
on the ships could discover remained
quiescent throughout the night.
At B O'Clock on the morning of Satl1r-
day' FEBRUARY II, the gunboat Petrol
eignalled to the cruiser Boston that the
TebelS were working in their trenches
In return the Petrol was ordered to fire
warning shots upon the town from her
n
surgents replied with a harmless fusiI-
iade. The Boston and the Petrol then
pombarded the insurgent trenches COM
pletely clearing them of their occupants
In very short space of time.
Soon after the bombardment bepan
flames broke out simultaneously in var
