of Greek and Latin in High School.
It is announced this afternoon that
Miss Frances Winifred Miller, of Chi
cago, has been appointed as teacher of
Latin and Greek in the Kenosha High
school, to take the place made vacant
by the resignation of Will A. NARROW.
Miss Miller has accepted the appoint
ment, and will be here early in Sep
TENDER to take charge of her work.
In the appointment of Miss Miller
the committee on teachers of the
Board of Education have chosen a
young lady very we'll qualified for the
position. Miss Miller was formerly a
Kenosha girl, and had her early edu-
cation in the Kenosha schools.
After she completed the work in this
county she went to the Chicago High
school and from there to the University
of Michigan, where she graduated with
high honors as a classical student.
Since her graduation Miss Miller has
been engaged as teacher of Latin and
Greek in Kentucky and she comes to
her old home as teacher with the best
of recommendations.
The committee on teachers have not
as yet made out full slate of appoiDt-
ments for the year, but they will be
made Monday evening or as soon as
the papers of the recent examination
have been examined. It is said that
few, if any changes will be made be-
yond the employment of several new
teachers.

THE Journal of Commerce, one of
the ab1est of those jou' na1s of the
United States that devote themselves
to economic, commercial and indus
trial questions and to the higher poll
tics, in which are involved our inter
national relations, always of strong
Democratic leaning, although of recent
years it has been absolutely indepen-
dent so far as national politics is con-
cerned, has the following to say con-
corning the nominee and platform of
the Democratic party of 1900:
"The Democratic convention has put
forth the weakest candidate on the
wickedest platform that has ever been
offered to the American people by any
leading party. The candidate is the
same man that he was four years ago,
but he is weaker, because the country
knows great deal more of him. The
platform is about the same thing as
that of four years ago, with some ad-
ditiona1 matter upon the subject of i'm
peria1im, but, in regard to the cur
rency and to order and to justice, it is
wickeder than it was then, because it
is a second offense, and because GER
tain mitigating circumstances that ex-
listed four years ago no longer exist. F"

RAILS AND TIES.
Some More Idle Talk in Regard to the
Street Railway.


It was reported this morning that
two cars loaded with rails and two
cars loaded with ties for the use Of
Messrs. Haynes & C1ausen, in the con-
struction of the street railway had ar
rived. The rumor has not been veri-
fed, and in fact the depot men state
that no such cars have come in. 1t is
reported that it is the intention of the
promoters to start the work on West
Market street, but it is hardly thought
that they will purchase any material
until after they have accepted the or
dinance. 1t is reported that boat
load of ties, belonging to the Mi1wau-
kee company, is still piled on the
beach at North Kenosha, and it might
be we'll for the Haynes-C1ausen people
to make purchase of the Milwaukee
company. With the line to Chicago
running far to the west of Kenosha
a nd Racine the ties will hardly be
handy for use for the Milwaukee COM
pany.
AS yet Messrs. Haynes and Clausen
have made no move to accept the fran
chise, as adopted by the Council, and
there are still some that are skeptica1
in regard to the acceptance. Of
course, according to the provisions of
the franchise, the Chicago men have
thirty days in which to file their ac-
ceptance and bond, but it would seem
that if the company were in such a
hurry to build they would have made
some more speedy action in the mat
ter. 1t is understood that company
to build the line is now being organ
lied in Chicago, and it is also stated
that some well known Chicago capt.
ta1ists are backing the line.
