BEATS HIS WIFE.
John Ferris of the Third Ward Gets Into
Trouble with the Police.

John Ferris, a man residing at the
corner of Pomeroy and Grover streets,
was arrested Monday evening by Con-
stable Nick Gloss, on charge of as
sau1ting his wife. 1t seems that the
man came home in the evening and
started row with step daughter,
who was residing at the house. The
row eliminated IN blows, and the wife
and daughter was pretty we'll beaten
up before the melee ended. The wo-
man then went to the home of the
constable and made a complaint
against her husband and the constable
took him in tow. Afterward the fell
low promised to leave the city, and the
constable escorted him to the railway
station and released him. The neigh
bors of the people complain that Fer
ris and his wife have had great deal
of trouble, and this is not the first
time that the women has been roughly
handled. If Ferris returns to Ke-
nosha he will be arrested and the
charge against him pushed IN the
courts.

IN MEMORY OF MISS HAwLEY
Professional Cross is Consecrated at st.
Matthews Church Sunday Morning,

There was an interesting little cere-
mony at St. Matthew's Episcopal
charch Sunday when Bishop ]. M.
Francis, of the diocese of Indiana, as
sisted by the Rev. Harry Robinson, of
St. Luke's church in Racine, conse-
Grated a professional cross which had
been purchased by the mem bers of the
church as a memorial to the life and
work of Miss Anna K. Haw1ey, form
erly assistant librarian of the Gilbert
M. Simmons library, who died in Chi
cago short time ago. The cross is a
beautiful memorial to the deceased
member of the church and comes as a
free will offering from the many
friends of the young lady. The cross
is of brass and bears a suitable in
scrjption. 1t is most fitting that this
testimonial should be paid to the life
works of Miss Hawley by the members
of ST. Matthew's church, for during
the life of Miss Haw1ey the church had
no more ardent worker. For many
years Miss Haw1ey had been a member
of the church choir and no interest of
the church ever failed to receive her
full support. The services of the con-
secration were of a most solemn ma
ture and were in accordance to the
service provided by the ritual of the
church. The conservation sermon was
preached by the Rev. Harry Robinson,
of Racine.

HIGHER EDUCATION.
Many Kenosha Young People Will Enter
Universities at Opening.

Kenosha promises to be well repre-
scented at the different schools of
learning in Wisconsin this year, and
a large number Of the graduates of the
high school this year will seek the
classic halls of learning. Besides the
usual number that attend Chicago Uni
versity, Kenosha will have a repre-
sentation at Madison second to no city
in the state, with the exception of Mil
waukee and Madison. Last year there
were twelve Kenosha county students
at thtex ~ e. 81 University, and this year
the colony will be Increased by the
addition of Fred Petit, Frank Blood,
Henry KIeife1d and Arthur Ho1derness.
Miss Julia Donne1ly will represent the
young ladies of the class Of 1900 at the
State University. Misses Mary New
ell, Emily Hunt and Xil1a Wiswall will
enter the State Normal at Whitewater
to prepare for their work as teachers.
The Kenosha High school is proving
a splendid preparatory school for the
State University, and the principal
wishes it distinctly understood that
Kenosha is one of the eleven schools
in the state that is on the accredited
list for all departments Of the Univer-
sity. Racine is behind the Park City
in this respect, as diploma from the
Belle City schools does not admit to
the ancient classical course in the Uni
versity. This showing of the schools
Of the city is one Kenosha may we'll be
proud of.

tending the Annual Institute at Wilmot.
The annual institute for the teach
ers of the Kenosha county schools
opened at Wilmot, Monday, and the
large number Of teachers in attendance
shows the fact that the teachers of
Kenosha county are interested in their
work. At the morning session there
were forty-three mem bers present, but
by the time the afternoon session con-
vened fifty had been enrolled. The
institute opened with song, after
which Superintendent Griffith gave a
practical talk to the teachers. This
was followed by talk on school man
agement by Mr.. Hardy, one of the
conductors of the institute. Later the
superintendent conducted lesson in
arithmetic and school law, and Mr..
Hardy one on grammar, while Miss
Rogers had geography and reading.
The instructors are up to-date and the
teachers in attendance are getting a
great deal of good out of the work.
The teachers from this city are not
we'll represented at the institute, most
of the teachers present being from the
western part of the county.

Kenosha.
The Individual Play.

Milton Petit led the Kenosha go1-
fers in the Individual play. He fin
ished the first round with clean card,
and ended the second with score OF
the total eighteen holes. This is the
first time such a score has been made
on the local links. Crooks, his oppo-
nent, was rated as good player by the
Racine contingent.
George A Yule found very easy
snap in Jack Blake, and for time it
looked as if he would tie for the high
honors, but in the second round Blake
managed to ha1ve couple Of holes,
and Yu1e came in with only thirteen
up.
Col Aiken and Jack VanIngen were
also in their e1emeat, and brought in
scores of nine up to add to the dis
comfort of the Racine team.
DR.. G. H. Ripley had his usual easy
time with Vernon Rogers, the second
best player from Racine, and the way
IN which the doctor won was one of
the sensations Of the day. He ended
the first round five mp, and in the
COuISS IlC dOQCO S1A u1OIC, uIdhAuS q
total Of eleven.
A1drich had his man, Workman,
beaten all the way round, and finished
with eight to the good.
c. G. Allen, Cantwel1, Will Yu1e and
Matthews swel1ed the score by bring
ing their men in seven down, and
almost any Of them could have doubled
the score if they had played in usual
form.
Eiche1man found a fairly good
player in Pugh, but he landed him
with a score of four up, after a hard
fight.
Fred Petit, who played with Blu
chan, had the only really hard fight of
the day. In the first round Petit
found the Racine man more than a
match for him, and he came in one
down. In the second round the Col
one1 picked up a little, and finished
one up, winning the last hole by a
long put.

FAILURE OF PHILAhTHROPHY.
Poor Results of Government PrOvi- sIORs for the Betternent of
 t17 azdians.

Under the advice of the best and most courageous of the friends of the Indian, an act for the aliotment of their tribal lands in severalty 10 the Indians, under certain conditions, was passed by con gress in 1884. Since that time many of the tribes have appOrtioned their lands to their individual members, and have given up the tribal life, says Youths Companion.
 the Indians to whom lands were SC -L tied were forbidden to sell or other wise alienate their land under 20 years. and as steps were taken to start them IS farmers, it was supposed that the measure would do more to civilize and mal le them self-supporting, under ex- isting conditions, than anything else has done. Fifteen years have gone by since the first allotment of lands, and the public men who were the authors and most earnest advocates of the severalty law have lately expressed deep Encouragement with the result.
 Although the Indians cannot yet sell, they can and do lease their allotted
  tiOns in the west where practically all the farms are rented to white men. while their owners and their families reSre to unassigned parts of the reser- vation and live in the old wild way. Meantime the vices of the white men are communicated to them more read fly than ever before, and they are with out the tribal government and the re- straint of strong men of their own race which often went with it.
 As a whole. the condition of the h. dians is undoubtedly improving, but there are some ccses in which, under the allotment system. they have actual ly retrograded. The fact is now ap- parent that it is difficult to make a self supporting farmer of the Indian in one generation. The Indian still needs safe guards against corruption, and above all he needs practical and simple in- struction, at his home, in the few in dustrial occupations which he may be able to follow.

YANKEE INVENTION TO wIF.
South America Lies Fnllow for American Machinery.

It is happy fact that Yankees are so quick to invent and so sllillful to use machinery of all kinds, says Ainslee's Magazine. Within the next few years there will be tremendous opportunities for civil, mechanical and electrical en- gineers in Asia. When the Chinese cast the first railway from Shanghai to Woo sung into the river they were only 7reIar;ng themselves for a network of railways over the whole of China. When the CcrcaEs in Seoul destroyed the new electric line and burned the cars. they exhausted the forces Of conservatism, and before .-lg concluded that the cleo tric railw, 7 was the best scheme for saving ey "a eEertion in walking that had ever i cen devised. Large portions of Souia America and South Africa may be undevelopCd and possessed of great material resources, but nowhere else does such a combination Of human and natural conditions tempt indus trial activity as in China. Nowhere else are so many hartworking and tenn perate men and women, waiting only to be taught, such wealth of coal and other minerals, such fertile soil, such splen- did rivers and harbors. Were the field small, it would not be so tempting. But China is in area larger than the United States, and has a population four or five times as large.

RAILS MADE TOO HASTILY.
Wear of Present-Day Heavy Traffic.

A high authority on railroadiEg says that with locomotives weighing 14O tons and upward and freight cars of 100000 pounds capacity and a steadily increasing speed, the time is fast ap- preaching when all the old rails will have to be taken up and heavier rails laid. For some reason the steel rails made HOW are not as durable as those made 20 years ago. One reason is that the blast furnace iron, instead of being cooked and run into pigs, is run fluid from the furnace 10 the mixer, thence to the converter, where it is cast into ingots.
 Eleven passes through the rolls turn an ingot into a bloom, and the bloom, before it has q chance to know if, is tossed into a heating furnace and turned into a rail with only nine passes through a train of rolls running at a terrific speed of 900 feet a minute. The rail is, it is said, finished too hot and too quickly by the last passes through the rolls being made with the rail at a temperature of 2,O0O to 2,2O0 degrees. while 20 years ago it was not hotter than 1,4OO to 1.60O degrees. This lower temperature allowed the steel 10 take a certain "set," and it was, therefore, stronger.
