Petition is Circulated Asking That the
Sunday Hours at the Post
office Be Changed.
MINISTER'S AIDING THE PROJECT.
Petition Asks That the Hours Be Changed
From 1880 to 12:soto 900 to 1000
m.-Plan Is Opposed

A petition is being circulated about
the city which is of great interest to
all classes of society and it is probable
that considerable discussion Of the
questions brought up in the petition
will be made before the desired action
is secured. From time innmemoria1
the post-office in Kenosha has
been opened from 1870 to
1890 on Sunday, but if the
petition now in circulation is
granted the hours for opening the
postoffice on Sunday will be changed
to 9 to 10 a. m.
For some time the matter has been
considered and recently one of the
ministers of the city came forward to
urge the change in the hours. At
present the opening of the Office forces
the mail crriers and clerks ia the Office
to work during the Sabbath morning
and with the change the men would be
released from work early enough to al
low them to attend church services
and to spend more of kthe day with
their families. No mail arrives at the
office after O'Clock and fol, this reason
the mail is all ready to deliver by nine
o'clock
Of course the proposed change will
meet with considerable opposition.
For many years the.factsthat the post
office was open after church services
were over made the office the mecca of
many church'going people. "Meet me
at the postoffice after church" has been
a favorite way'of making IAN engage.
ment and for this reason many people
will oppose the change. The minis
tiers hold, however, that the opening of
the office at the noon hour interferesI
with the weekly. Sunday..schoQl lesson,
while if the Office was opened at the
earlier hour the business men could
get rid of all worldly cares before the
time for helbeginning of the different
church services. rsa@ e,~t4 e,rsa4o.1
Postmaster FrantzI is neutral, ard
the petition when presented to him
will be forwarded toi:the department
at Washington, and the. local Office
will be. governed according to the de-
cision of the department.
Many people have already signed,
the petition, and it is claimed by those
favoring the change. that the petition
will not be presented until after a, ma
iority of the patrons of sthe Office have
approved of it. 4..,~g,s 81,

THE Twentieth century is capable
of great things. Withthe progress Of
improvements during the latter part of
the nineteenth century, such as &C.
ment walks. asphalted streets, etc., the
public taste has been educated to higher
requirements in an aesthetic way
With the streets and walks made like al
polished floor by virtue of cement and
asphalt, dirt and filth thereon become
all the more evident and repn1sive..
While waste matter of one kind aud
another, expectoration, etcetera, were
not noticed in the days of dirt roads
and cow paths, they are staringly
con spicuous and repugnant on white
walk and a scrupulous1y kept paved
street. Therefore, the public taste re-
quires that all these relics of the bar
barrie days of the race should be elm
mated. All waste material must be
placed in convenient receptacles pre-
pared for them on the street corners
wherever necessary and the habit of
expectorating must be discouraged.
Consequently anti-spitting laws are
passed and the benighted human ami
NAL is compelled to abandon the hab-
it's of his primal age, until, in the pro-
cess Of time he will become SO refined
and his habitation so Utopian, that, if
he is pretty good fellow in the proper
sense, when his time comes to join
that innumerable caravan he will be
we'll prepared for the scenes and sur
roundings and associations of that
better land.

fire which followed the lightning in a
short time destroyed the college build

kind in the west The lightning struck
the college squarely on the top Of

mendous crash Of thunder accompanied
the fash that everybody in the neigh
borhood thought an explosion had
taken place in the college.
Adjoining the college is the smaller
building of the West Side hospital,
which was filed with patients, about
100 being in the various wards. AS
soon as it was seen that the college
could not be saved, and that its walls
were liable to fall at any time, the
work Of removing the patients from
the hospital began. The rain was
pouring heavily at the time but there
are SO many hospitals and medical in

was necessary to remove the people
only a short distance, and the moving

Rslstio-s With Ri Arnold


1t is reported this afternoon that the
recent protest flied by Haynes & Clau-
son to the a neudm ert of the Railway
franchise owned by the Kenosha Street
Railway company, will be reconsidered
and withdrawn. from the hands of the
Council
The contest is at best only family
quarrel between the Chicago men and
the Kenosha company. At the time
of the sale of the franchise to Mr.. Ar
mold, Messrs. Haynes & Clausen
agreed to furnish for Mr.. Arnold a
satisfactory" route to Waukegan.
Mr.. Arnold held that this route must
be on the East of the North Western
tracks, and when the route was Sc
cured to the West of the tracks he re-
fused to accept it, and then the trouble
commenced:
It seems that the. expense of secur-
ing a route on the East of the North
Western line is considera BILE more than
to secure a similar grant on the West
side of the tracks, and for this purpose
the promoters baked IN fulfilling their
contract. 1t is now thought that the
matter will be AMIGA bly, settled with
out the aid Of the Council.

IT is a fact full of dire significance
to the United States that the ayera1 c
School Board is and may be an object
of public contempt and ridicule. That
our public school system, the back
bone of the Republic, operates on a
basis that calls out scoffing from for
eien educators and so much riGicu.e
and disrespect from those at home is d
matter for great regret as we'll as the
most serious consideration. When a
set of men, all good fellows no doubt,
and good hustlers IN their ward, but
about as conversant with teaching and
text books and affairs educational gen.
orally as a cow with higher criticism,
become the sponsors of the public edu-
cation. it is not to be wondered at that
educators from across the seas turn
away in contempt and that our own
satirists dip their pens in vitrio1 now
and then. Of course our High schools
turn out some fine young people each
year, and no doubt schools in the cit
les the size of Kenosha and smaller,
have the advantage in the long run
over those of cities like Chicago and
Milwaukee, but it is more in, spite of
the system than because of it. That
our American boys and girls have
brains is fact that even the School
Board with its usual intermingling of
ignorance and politics cannot counter
act. You can't cut pine slabs out of
an oak tree, but you can make barrel
slaves out of ak handles, and if we
don't hit upon some improvement of
the School Board system in the larger
cities especially, there is great danger
of spelling a lot of the best raw ma
terial the world produces. --7--

Chief of Police Newhouse this morn

case of Mrs. Louis FrankDonavan,
the young woman who admitted to
Under-Sheriff Reino1d Tuesday after
noon that She was guilty of the charge
Of bigamy. Chief INewhouse and
District Attorney :Buckmaster took up

that there will be some developments
in the case.
Mrs. Donavan has announced that:
she will not live with her --latest hus-i
band and with this announcement it
is probable that the officers wilEnot
make any effort to prosecute. The
friends and relatives ofstfe young lady
at Racine think that she was influenced
by Donavan to take the second step
into matrimony, without knowing that
she was committing crime. The
most friendly relations seem to exist
between the womansanda her first hus-.
