cOmmandery of Texas. His official ca
reer in the grand encampment began
at the conclave held in Chicago in 1880,
when he was appointed grand sword
bearer. He has been regularly advanc-
ed at each subsequent conclave until,
after twenty-one years service, he was
unanimously elected grand master.
Colorado commandery Of Denver cap
tured first prize in the competitive drill
at Louisville. 1t consisted Of thirty
four pieces Of silver valued at $4,000.
The grand encampment sustained the

Templar on sight.
Hereafter the per capita assessment
Of knights Templars will be 5 cents.

Honolulu, Oahu, was represented at
the triennial conclave by Grand Com
mander Archibald F. Gilfllan. Past
Grand Commander II. II. Williams and
Standard Bearer T. J. King. These
knights travelled over 1000 miles for
the sole purpose of attending the grand
encampment in Louisville.

the knights Templars was 114,54O. On
July it was 125, 1O3.

Lines for Rural Telephones Being
Stretched All the Way From
Racine to KenOsha.
CONNECTION WITH CITIES FREE
Farmers Are Eagerly subscribing for the
New System and Fifty Telephones
Will be Put in This Year.

The Wisconsin Telephone company,
which practically controls the tele-
phone business in the state, believes in
expansion and are constructing local
system accordingly. They now pro-
pose to extend their lines out in the
rural districts, giving the farmer the
opportunity of enjoying city facilities.
The company has considered this
plan advisable, in order to complete
it's service in Kenosha and Racine
counties and already has taken steps
to make the improvements. A large
force of men are now at work north OF
the city putting in poles and stringing
their wires. Before an improvement
of this kind was attempted residents
of the rural districts were visited in
hopes of securing a large portion of
them as subscribers. At first they did
not favor the plan, but after it was
thoroughly explained gave sufficient
encouragement to warrant the COM
pany carrying out their ideas.
The rates bothered the farmers some
at first, but when they were Informed
TIC O1 lO4A WOAAO ANAAdAA
the same as it is for city residents, it
was an easy matter to secure twenty
applications. Other applications are
being received daily. The company,
starting at Racine, have just put their
poles in and have wires attached as far
north as Berryvi1le, andintend to come
to Kenosha. There will be no ad-
ditiona1 charges for toll north of the
city as far as Racine, but when con-
versing with parties of that city a
nominal additional fee will be taxed.
All the country phones will be con-
nected with the city exchanges within
very short time, which not only will
prove beneficial to the country but the
city people as we'll. 1t means a great
convenience to every subscriber.
With the completion of the lines
north of the city the company is
planning Ato extend lines west of this
city to connect with the Chicago Te1e-
phone company at the tavern near
Truesde11. In this manner the little
village will become the exchange for
the use of the farming population. If
these prove to be a success other lines
will follow in a few months until every
part of Kenosha county may be reached
by telephone.

Former Well Known Young Man of
This City Died Wednesday Even
ing at Salem, Oregon.
GAINED RENOWN AS A STUDENT
Had Graduated From University of Wis
consin and Harvard and Was Well
tKnown Among Educators.

A telegram was received here
DIR. Myron E. Baker, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Myron A. Baker, of this city, and
formerly one of the best known young
men of this city, which occurred in
Salem, Oregon, at seven o'clock
Wednesday evening. The announce
ment of the death of DIR. Baker came
as great shock to the people of Keno
sha. Two weeks ago he was taken i'll
with ma1aria1 fever, but only few
days ago the friends had received let
ter sta ting that he was recovering and
little anxiety was felt on account of
his condition.
The death of Myron E. Baker marks
the passing of one of the most notable
men ever raised in Kenosha. Mr..
Baker in the last few years has won
distinguished place among the edu-
Gated men Of the country and at the
time of his death he held the chair of
English Literature at Willamette Uni
versity at Salem. Mr.. Baker was for
many years connected with the State
University and with several schools in
Wisconsin and on this account the an
nouncement of his sudden death will
cause sorrow in all parts of the State.
Myron Eugene Baker was born in
Kenosha on April 18th, 1867. He re-
ceived his early education in the
schools of this city, graduating from
the High school AS a member of the
class of 1885. He at once entered the
University of Wisconsin and gradual
ed with honors with the class of 1890.
After spending two years as Princi-
pal of the schools at Westfe1d and
lPoynette, Wisconsin, he went to Har-
ward, where he took his Masters de-
gree in 1896. While at Harvard he
was awarded a fellowship by the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and returning to
his Alma Mater he took the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy. Two years ago
he was elected to the chair of literature
at Willamette University, which he
held at the time of his death.
DR.. Baker was married to Miss Dora
c. Burgess at Char1evoix, Mich, in
August, 1899. The widow and one
child, Dorothea, survive him.
Mr.. Baker was a man of tireless en-
ergy and it was largely on account of
his devotion to his work that he was
taken down with the disease which re-
suited in his death.

"BEN HUR"
Will be Run at the Illinois Theatre, Chi
cago, for Limited Time.

All who have seen the K1aw & Err
LANCER dramatization of Gen. Lew
Wa1laces "Ben Hur" at the Illinois
Theatre, Chicago, agree that stage
craft has done it's utmost to create a
splendid stage pageant. General Wal
lace himself has struck the keynote of
the intention of K1aw & Granger in
these words: 81 have been trying to
devise play which any Christian per-
son, man or woman, might attend
without violence to his conscience, Or
without shocking any principle. l
think that has been accomplished, and
I may invite the whole Christian
world to see this performance" Every
detail of the book, with the exception
of the Crucifxion chapter, has been
followed out exactly as laid down in
Gen. Wa11ace's wonderful tale. De-
scriptions which the author gives are
followed with absolute fidelity. The
scene painters, the costume designers
and the stage mechanics have caug hit
the real atmosphere of the Holy Land
in the time of the Messiah. The char
1Ot race is more Cndu IGdA1Sl1Cs IL 10
real. The spectators are seemingly a
part of the throng that sat in the am
phitheatre at Antioch. The twelve
high-spirited horses race as truly as
did ever horses in the dust of the hip
podrome, and when "Ben Hur'' wins
and the stage popu1ace lifts up tr1-
mu1tuous cry, those in the theatre join
in the cheers.
It can be definitely stated that the
limited engagement of "Ben Hur''
cannot be prolonged, and the closing
performance will take place upon the
date originally set. Seats are now on
sale for any of the performances up to
and including October 18th. It is sug-
gested that desirable locations can be
obtained for Wednesday matinees.
The advance sale brings crowds of
people in front of the theatre all day,
but is so clever1y handled by those in
the box Office that seats may be pro-
cured for almost any of the perform
auCeS.

 ton to be Incorporate Into law
 At meeting of the city health
 ,srd at the city hall last night the
 qsst,on of the adoption of measures
 fir the protection of natives from in-
 .iion by tubercle bscilli was one for
 srriJtl deliberation and much discus
 ,on md the board fixed on three i'm
 ,,rtant regulations, two of which will
 ,s embodied in the form Of an ordi-
 ospc, which the ordinance committee
 siII receive from the city attorney and
 ,rbmjt to the city council.
 The first section of the ordinanC e
 rill provide for the disinfection of pom, when vacated by tubercular atients. The second clause is new iea for the protection of public health. It provides that second. hand dealers, including those who buy and all not only furniture, but clothing and many other articles, shall register ,prtain lines of goods upon making a o1rchaSe ordinance similar to that regulating the registration of ar Dcles received in a pawnbroking es- ab!ishment-al although, of course, it i. imposed for another reason. Ae- r5rding to the decision reached last night the articles must be fumigated, and penalty will be attached to failure to comply. The class of goods to be registered include clothing, car Lets, bedding and upholstered furni- ,ure.
 The third regulation will be in the form Of an amendment to the ordi nance commonly known as the "spitting ordinance" Not only the sidewalks, but public grounds and pIazaS will be put under quarantine against splitting, The plan of placing cuspidors or reseptacles on the street corners and in public grounds was abandoned as impIacticable, at least al present.
 The matter of framing the ordi nance is now in the hands of the city attorney and the city health officer and is not likely to he placed before the board of health again. The health board last night was unit in reach ing conclusions. The members had given the business before them great deal of thought before meeting, and their theories for the public health will be indorsed by the city council. The health board includes a of the members of the coun. nil; Mayor Talbot and Councilmen McNeil and Shott, besides City Health Officer Hughes and City Attorney Bullard. Republican.

consternation of the funeral party, the child sat up and called for her mother. The horses were knocked down, but no other damage was done. The little girl Is in fair way to re- covery. It is believed she was in a cataieptic state, from which the shock of lightning aroused her.
 People living in the vicinity of llanston, who were in the funeral pro. cession, tell many strange stories in connection with the occurrence. Some of them say that just prior to the flash of lightning, a peculiarly soft, mellow light appeared in the sky, which was so pronounced in its difference from sunlight as to attract attention and occasion comment, and that while the peculiar atmospheric or light conditions were being discussed the clap of thunder and the flash of lightning revited their attention upon the strange scene which followed
 what IS thought to De one or the strangest features of the remarkable occurrence and which strengthens the belief of those who contend that it was a manifestation of the divine power, is that nobody was killed or even seriously hurt by the lightning.

White Sails

The sails are brown and rough and
 Sere.
 As long as We can see them here. But when afar upon the main, We lingering turn and look again, White as the wing of sea bird swift. Or new fallen SnOw's unsullied drift, So we with those our hearts hold dear Dwell side by side and year by year, And faults and frailtieS recognize, Albeit we see with lenient eyes. But the day comes that seemed afar, With orders sealed they cross the bar, Then. tO us watching from the shore, Their sails are white foreyermore.
