A VISIT TO THE LIBRARY.
The childrens Hour at the Library is q
Very Busy One

Blessings be upon the head of
Cadmus, the Phonecians, or whoever
it was that invented books" And 1t
might be added, BLESSED be the head
that conceived the idea of a public
library, and the public spirit, enter
prise andspersistency that secured one
to this city" If any are of the opinion
that the public library is an idle insti-
tuition, or benefit only to the grown
ups, they should visit it between 400
and $50 O'Clock in the afternoon. Then
the public library is the busiest place
in the city, and, parenthetica1ly, we
would advise all who have business
there, and have leisure at other times,
to avoid those ninety minutes at the
close of the day. However, it would
pay you to just put your head in and
see what is going on. That interval
| might be properly known as the
''chi1dren's hour Just let loose from
the school room, the children, from the
little tots with ideas bigger than is
consistent with the regulations, ready
to carry away Mother Goose and Kate
Greenway books by the arms full, to-
| the boys and girls who are after books
along the line of their school work.
fairly take the library by storm. The
| librarians are in state of siege, and,
until the eager army is satisfied, have.
to breathe whenever they get chance
One is inclined to call upon Cadmus
and the Phoenecians to share their
blessings with the Librarian and her
assistants when one contemp1ates the
| situation.
Every afternoon, during that hour
and thirty minutes, there are on an
average of 135 books distributed. This
is equal to three books every two min,
utes. This is rapid work, even when
all that is necessary is to get the book
and issue it, but when those demanding
attention are an army of young Bone-
mians, none of whom is much given to
order, and many of whom have to be
treated a good deal as a doctor treats
a patient, the task assumes quite
alarming proportions. All sorts of
questions have to be asked and an
swered and some puzzles are presented
that would battle a Philadelphia law
yer. When the eternal ''kid brother''
comes in and says gimme arter-
rizitus. it requires brain fever pro-
ducing effort to comprehend that he
wants "Sartor Resartus.' But this is
only a very moderate instance of what
the librarians have to struggle through,
particularly at the time of this chill
dren's crusade.
But, Notwithstanding the librarian
has to work, it is gratifying to know
that the patronage of the library is
growing at a far greater rate even
than the library. There is consolation
that in the near future the new library
building will be available with all it's
facilities and with books sufficient to
meet all possible demands.

SPORTING LIFE" AGAIN.
This wonderful Melodrama to Appear at
Mcvicker's Theatre. Chicago. Feb II.

Mcvicker's Theatre. Chicago. Feb II.
jacob Lifts marve1ous1y successful
melodrama Sporting Life" which
had the longest run of any play ever
seen in Chicago, will return to the
scene of its triumph Sunday, Feb. II,
for brief engagement at McVicker' 5
Theatre, Chicago. The wonderful
runs Of the ''Great Ruby" under Mr..
Lifts management, and the tremen
dous business done by "Quo Vadis,"
at this popular theatre, have not been
able to efface the impression left by
Sporting Life when it made its
famous run of twelve weeks last
season.
The magnifcence of the sixteen stu
pendous scenes, the wonderfully fine
company and the absorbing and excit-
ing story of the play have made this
production the greatest success of
years. Everywhere in the East and
the West the public and the press have
declared Sporting Life" to be the
best melodrama and Mr.. Lifts produc-
| ton the most perfect ever shown in
America. The personnel of the COM
pany has changed very slightly since
the company was here one year ago,
E1ita Proctor Otis still leading the
company by her splendid impersona-
| ton of the adventures. The story
of Sporting Life is full of heart
| interest, the 1ove of Lord Woodstock
for Norah Cavanagh, the daughter of his
trainer, forming the principal theme.
| The course of true love does not run
smooth for Olive de Cartaret also loves
| the young nob1eman and uses every
effort to win him from Norah. The
excitement of a great race on which
depends the fortune of Lord Woodstock
and wonderfully realistic prize fight
in which the earl takes the place of his
man, who had been drugged, are Incl
dents that carry people off with en-
thusiasm.
There is plenty OF comedy to en1iven
the more serious interest of the play
and the 1ovab1e old money lender and
| the troubled trainer add bits to the
play as acted by Frank Burbeck and
Joseph Whee1ock. Besides Miss Otis
and Messrs. Burbeck and Whee1ock
the company has in it such sterling
people as Joseph Ki1gour, who plays
Lord Woodstock; Charles F. Gottho1d,
as the victim of Olive de Carteret;
Frazer Coulter, who is the embodiment
of vi11iany as Olives husband; Marion
E1more, the popular and well known
actress, as Kitty; Adelaide Warren,
Frances Stevens, Mabel Mortimer and
| two hundred others.

GUNBOAT TO Be HERE
Secretary Long, OF the Navy, Takes
Official Cognizance of the KenOsha
Dedication Ceremonies.
TWO GOVERNMENT VESSELS

The Secretary of the Navy Orders the Gun
boat Michigan and United States
Revenue Cutter to Come to Kenosha at
the Time of the Dedication of Soldiers
Monument-Blue Jackets to Take ParT in
the Parade.
The United States government has
taken cognizance of the ceremonies
which will be held in Kenosha on the
occasion of the dedication of the sol
diers' monument and it is probable
that in connection with the ceremonies
on land naval spectacle will be given
in the basin of the harbor or in the
lake off the shore.
When the veil is taken from the
monument the ceremonies will be at
tended by the booming of the cannon
on two of Uncle Sans warships. At
the request of Senator ]. V. Quar1es,
Secretary of the Navy John D. Long,
issued orders Thursday that the United
States gunboat michigan" and the
revenue cutter in service on the great
lakes should anchor at Kenosha and
take part in the ceremonies of the ded1-
cation of the soldiers monument and
the library.
This order of the Secretary of the
Navy will add much to the granduer of
the celebration. It will be the occa-
sion of the first visit of an American
gunboat to our shore and which will
result in large crowds coming to Keno
sha for this fact alone. The Michigan
is one of the historic vessels in the
navy. For years she has sailed the
great lakes in defense of commerce and
her coming will add great deal of
interest to the ceremonies. Together
with the order that the United States
vessels should attend the dedication
the Secretary of the navy has also
given orders that the sailors and gum
ners of the vessels shall embark from
their ships and take part in the parade.
In this manner both branches, the
army and the navy, will be represented
at the ceremonies of the dedication of
monument reared torevere the memory
of the men who fought and died on
land and sea.
AS the time for the dedication draws
near it becomes all the more evident
that the celebration will be the great
est event in the military history of
Wisconsin. While the plans for the
dedication are still in embryo accept
ances of the invitations are pouring in
from all parts of the state and the
gathering of G. A. r. men will be
equal to the great crowd of veterans
that assemble at the annual encamp-
ments. Not only are the members of
the posts in Wisconsin coming but
letters have been received from mem
bers of the G.. A. r. in far distant cities
stating that they will be present to
take part in the ceremonies. Many
men of note have promised to come,
and in all the dedication will be the
greatest event in the history of the
city.

TAKEN TO LA SALE, ILL.
Joseph Reed Must .Answer for Crooked
Work Done in an Illinois Town.

Joseph Reed, who has been serving
term in the county jail, on account of
his connection with the robbery of
Mrs. J. White in this city on the even
ing of Dec. %, was turned over to the
Chief of Police of LaSa11e, ILL.,, this
afternoon and was taken to that city
to answer a charge of stealing about
five hundred yards of silk from store
there. Chief of Police Doyle came
after Reed this morning and the state
of Illinois had already sent papers
asking that he be surrendered to the
LaSa11e officer. While Reeds term
here has not yet expired the officials
were perfectly willing to turn him over
to the other officers, in order that he
might be tried on the more serious
charge. The officials seem to think
that the crowd arrested with Reed
were part of gang that have com
mitted quite number of crimes in
Wisconsin and Illinois cities. All the
other men managed to get off with
small fines on plea of guilty as &C
completes in the crime for which Reed
was convicted.

$500 SKATING RINK.
Fred NiAnow Makes a Vigorous Kick
Against Sewer Privilege on Grand Ave.

Fred NiAnow Makes a Vigorous Kick
Against Sewer Privilege on Grand Ave.
Fred Nienow, who owns two houses
on the southeast corner of Maple street
and Grand avenue, is making a vigor-
Gus kick on what he calls his $500
skating rink. 1t seems that in addition
to paying for a sewer and pavement in
front of of his property, a sewer was
put in on the side street also, the total
cost to him amounting to, some
$500. Whether the city neglected to
put in enough catch basins to carry
off the surface water or whether the
dirt taken out of Grand avenue was
not properly used to bring the adjoin-
ing streets up to the proper grade is
not known, but the fact remains that
Fred has been compelled to pay
for surrounding his property with
sewers and still it is surrounded with
water, which covers the whole street
and makes a skating rink when it
freezes.
There is one thing sure, Mr.. Me
nows street is not the only one in that
condition. The street by the mayors
house is flooded after every rain,
the water standing there until it soaks
away in the ground and the adjoining
cellars, ali of which could be remedied
by putting in only two catch basins
which would empty into the ''dead
end" of sewer there and greatly ben
eft said sewer by giving it flushing
once in awhile, a thing which it has
never had,
