MEMORIAL DAY.
State superintendent of Education Sends
Out Pamphlet.

A neatly arranged pamphlet has
been sent out by the state superintend-
EFT, the object and purpose of its mis-
sion being explained by the introduc-
ton, which is herewith reproduced
"The day is near at hand when the
American people will again pay hon-
age to the departed heroes of the Civil
war, and to that end the state super
intendent would request that Memorial
day be honored with appropriate exer,
cises in every public and private school
in Wisconsin. It would be well for
the school in each community, where
there is a Grand Army Post or Wom-
ans Relief Corps, to invite these bod
les, and citizens generally, to unite
with the school, and by appropriate
exercises of song, verse and recitation,
and an address from some old soldier,
pay due honor to the silent soldiers of
Our republic.
'With the sincere hope that the
schools of Wisconsin will observe the
sacredness of Memorial day as sug-
gested in this circular, l am,
"Yours very truly,
''L. D. HARVEY, State Supt."

MONEY IS RAISED.
Rebuilding of the Old Unitarian Church
Will Begin at Once and be
Rushed to Completion.
MR.. SIMMONS GENEROUS GIFT.

he Agrees to Pay one Half of the Cost of
the Repairs to the Church-The Meet
ing of the Trustees Friday Evening De-
cided to Proceed With the Work at once
and the Church will be Rebuilt During
the Coming Summer.
The movement recently started to
rebuild the Unitarian church in this
city is a success, and at the meeting of
the Board of Trustees, which was held
at the office of DR.. Saunders Friday
evening it was announced that all the
money needed for the rebuilding of
the church had been secured. Fifteen
hundred dollars was needed to place
the church in first class condition and
the old members of the church in this
city have been very generous in their
gifts for the restoration of the church.
$3.50 had been raised among the mem
bers in Kenosha and Friday evening
at the meeting of the trustees it was
announced that z. G.. Simmons had
made the generous offer to pay the
other half of the amount necessary to
complete all the repairs needed.
The work on the rebuilding of the
church will be started at once. The
entire building will be covered
with a new roof, the interior and ex-
terror will be reprinted, and the pres
ent heating system will be torn out to
make room for a new and modern hot
air furnace. The trustees of the
church hope to have the work of re-
pairing completed during the early
summer months and before fall opens
the church will be ready for the use of
the congregation.
While the work of repair goes on an
effort will be made to bring all the old
mem ers of the society together. No
services will be held until after the
church is completed. At this time the
Unitarian Association has promised to
send a minister to this city to take
charge of the church.
From the greatinterest that is being
shown in the work by the former mem
bers of the old Kenosha society, and
from the number of new members of
the church that have been found in
the city, it is evident that the church
will start out with a membership of
over hundred of the influential citi-
zens of the city. AS soon as possible
steady pastor will be employed by
the congregation.

THEY MIXED EN- UP.
one Father in Kenosna who Didn't Know
His Son From Son of Neighbor.


His Son From Son of Neighbor.
There is a very interesting little
story going the rounds today about a
clever joke that was played upon one
of the young business men of the city
a few days ago. Now this young man
was the father of bouncing boy and
it happened that another family lived
in the same house who had a boy of
just the same age. The boys didn't
look particularly alike and the ladies OF
the house put up job on the hus
bands. When the men came home in
the evening the clothes worn by the
two babies had been changed and the
babies had been mixed up until the
mothers could scarcely tell the differ
ence. The baby from the upstairs
fiat was put to sleep in the cradle IN
the down stairs fiat and when the man
of the house came home in the evening
he trotted the baby on his knee and
never knew the difference. Of course
he called it the finest baby in the land
and when the man from upstairs put
in the claim for the upstairs baby he
was promptly informed that it was a
good enough baby, but it couldn't COM
pare in any way with the baby below.
The women looked on with great in
terest until the joke got so good that
they couldn't keep it and now the men
are spending their salaries in "buy-
ing" just to keep the matter quiet.

Now can we not impress it first upon
ourselves and then upon our pupils
that "He 1iveth best who 1oveth best.
All things both great and small" also
that He who said not a sparrow 'falleth
without the Fathers notice did not in
tend that the birds were tc be killed,
but to beautify the earth.
And now in closing may ask that
we with the Audubon Society and our
pupils take up this great and noble
work of bird study and protection.
Let us teach it and follow our own
feelings until for sheer gladness
thousands of happy little threats shall
be able to proclaim the glad tidings
of the good will of man towards the
birds.

 The removal of General Tung Flu Hsiang from the command of the Chi nese forces surrounding the court is con- sidered by the foreign cnvoys to be q very important step as showing the real desire of the government to come to terms. His punishment indicates that the court rec | oSnizeS the cXpediency of obcying the de- l mands of the powers.
 The International club was opened yes l tcrday. it's object being to bring together
 ill spirit of social harmony the officers l and diplomats of the various nations. | There was a large company present, and

 H. T.. Nudge. general manager of the road. sent out q general order yesterday to all operators who had not yet gone out offering to promote them If they would continue in their resistance to the strikers. He told them that they had been faithful to the interests of the com pany thus far and that they could fill out their application blanks for better positions at once. The general manager added that all the men not taking part in the strike should have better positions if they were capable of filling them and that their old places would be filled from outside sources.
 MT. Nudge expressed great satisfaction at the order he had sent out and said it was only fair that the company should thus recognize those of the men who had been faithful to their interests.

Orange Growers Alarmed.

SAN BERNARDINO. Cal. Dec. 1U.- As result of the strike of the Santa Fe
 :elegraphers 325 men in this city have been thrown out of work. In the large machine shops of the Santa Fe company an order was posted saying, "The shops will be closed until further notice." The strike has caused consternation among the orange growers and shippers of this city, as if tlfe strike is continued it will undoubtedly result in q heavy loss to the orange dealers. An average of 100 cars of oranges is being shipped from this vi cinity daily. Thousands of boxes of fruit have been picked and are ready to be shipped, and nearly the entire crop is ready for shipment. There are more than 300 carloads of oranges billed from shis city to the east, and if the strike assumes the proportions which threaten the oranges will probably be sidetracked.
