Racine, called the Belle city of the

looking Lake Michigan. 1t offers
every attraction for visitors, and is &C
cessib1e by two railways, electric and

The State committee has arranged a

VIM. Newell, of the Moody Bible Insti-
tute of Chicago. will conduct the Quiet

year, will exhibit it again at this con-
vention, and since last year it has been
more than doubled in size and interest.
A large Convention chorus under the
leadership of NJ. Louis Evans will
lead the singing, and will be the feat
RE of the convention.
Arran9 ements have been made for
the entertainment of a large de1ega-
ton, and it is hoped that Christian

A HEAVY WIND.
Kencsha and Vicinity Gets the 2 al OF the
~ Galvs ston Storm

The wind blew across Kenosha
Tuesday night at the rate of fifty
miles an hour. There was a time when
it looked as if we might get more Of
the storm that made such horrible dew
astation in Galveston than would be
pleasant. The stor1e5 published il the
evening papers to the effect that the
storm would pass over this section
with increasing and probably disas-
trous force thoroughly awakened the
fea~s of the people SO that when the
wind began to toss the trees as is it
meant business everybody was getting
ready for a cyclone AS it was PFC
dicted that the shifting of the wind
would be the perilous moment, al
looked with apprehension for the
change. It came a1d it came with
mighty rush. Great old trees that had
withstood the blasts of the tenpcsts
for years were uprooted or broken in
two, and their branches scattered over
tie surrounding country. It is the re-
port that considerable havoc was
wrought in the county, but no authen-
tic reports can be found of anything
more serious than the upsetting of
trees. This, however, oeems to have
been quite general.
Probably the greatest damage was
suffered by the Wisconsin Telephone
Co. The1- WEES were pretty badly
twisted in the afternoon and the men
had just gotten them into working or
der. a gain when the heavy wind of the
evening caused them even greater in
convenience. For a time they were
quite effectively cut off from outside
communication and the state of the
lines in the city was tangled one.
On the whole the storm was not as
serious as had been feared, and while
it did some damage on the water, on
the land it amounted to little more
than hard blow.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS.
The Question of Latin Grammar Causes a
Hot Discussion

| The School Board met in regular
session at the city hall last evening,
and as usual the meeting was hot
one. If the Common Council want to
sustain their re equation and position
F! they will have to make an effort.
! When the board was called to order
| by President Williams al the membc~s
were in their chairs except Messrs.
Melville, Woodwork and Sullivan.
Quite BUDGET of minor business was
disposed Of. The resignation of Prof.
Newber1y was accepted and a petition
from Mrs. Charles Leigh to send her
daughter to the Sixth grade in the
Central school was denied on the
ground that the petitioner lived out
side the district and that that school, is
already overcrowded.
The committee on building and
grounds gave full report suggesting
that the grounds OF the Gi1lett school
be finished with gravel and showing
the drainage of cold air ducts COM
p1ete and satisfactory, and the work on
the fan and the furnaces in the Central
building about complete and we'll
done.
The teachers committee reported the
engagement of Miss Gertrude H.

The interest of the evening centered
on the discussion over the La tin gram

According to the report it appeared
that Miss Baker, the instructor in
Latin and Greek, had stated her pref
erence for Harknes'. But Commits
sioner Baker stated that this was not
the case and that Benefits was the
preferred grammar. Thereupon quite
discussion ensued as to what book
was the choice. Principal Wiswa11
stated that it was his information that
Benefits was the desired one, and
Superintendent Mcdowell was about to
read 1ette- from Miss Miller showing
that she preferred Harknes' when Mr..
Baker and others protested against the
reading of the letter. After a time,
however, it came out that the Bennett

in the hands of the pupils, and there
upon the disputAtion was given over
and Bennett held the fort.
