Baptists OF the City Decide TO Erect
Their New Church as Soon
as Possible.
HOLD GENERAL MEETING TONIGHT
Insurance of $4,000 Will Assist Largely in
Rebuilding Nav ana Better struc-
ture-CnuFch TO Be Enlarged

The first Baptist church, destroyed
by fire Friday afternoon, will be re-
built and before year rolls round the
ruins of the church will give way for
the erection of a new and better struc-
ture more suited to the uses of the con-
gregation.
AS soon as it was certain that the
church was doomed to destruction the
mem bers got together and began to
make plans for the building of new
structure. A general meeting of the
church society will be held at the Y.
NJ. C. A. auditorium this evening at
which the plans will be more fully OUT
lined and the problem of raising funds
for the new structure will be taken up.
The menbe of the church, just be-
fore the fire, had plans drawn for an
enlargement of the church and this
work was to be done in the early
spring. These plans will undoubtedly
be included in the new structure. The
statement that there was eight thous-
and dollars insurance on the church
building has been proved to be an err
ror as more thorough investigation
shows that the insurance amounts to
only $4,000. The mistake was made
by including insurance on the parson-
age adjoining the church in the list of
policies held on the church proper.
The Christian sympathy of the
churches in Kenosha was never more
apparent than yesterday when the
church was destroyed leaving the Bap-
fist congregation without a church
home. Nearly every church in the
city at once sent word to the minister
of the destroyed church offering aid
and sympathy. The trustees of the
Park Avenue M. E. church at once Of
fered the use of their building for So
cia1 purposes and the social given last
evening by the young people was a
great success. The church was crowd
ed to the doors and more than four
hundred people contributed to the fund
for the new building.
While the plans for the new church
are being made, the Baptist congrega-
ton will hold regular services in the
Y. M. c. A. building aud the Sunday
school and social meetings of the
church will be held in the basement of
the Park Avenue M. E. church.

Fire Basement the Pretty Little Church and Before
the Flames Could Be Extinguished the Entire Building
Nearly Wiped Out
THE FIREMEN SEEM POWERLESS TO AID
Flames All the Building and the
Placed At Nearly Fifteen Thousand
Dollars with Thousand Dolars-Church
To Be Rebuild at Once-Sad Blow to Church Society.

! The work of the firemen in attempt
ing to do something to save the build
ing also created considerable excite
ment. When the ladders had been
placed on the roof, Will Schend and
Henry Isermann climbed to the top of
the ladders and fought amidst the
flames. Men and friends shouted to
them to leave their places and seek
safety, but the men laughed at the
danger and continued to work until
the ladders on which they were work
beat retreat.
It was feared at one time that an ex-
plosion of gas was possible and while
the flames were working, large force
of men were set to work digging in
the street in an effort to find the shut
off for the gas pipes and relieve the
tension. No explosion occurred as the
shut off was found before the flames
reached the main body of the church.
When the flames had secured com
plete control of the church building
vagrant spark was carried to the roof
of the rectory of St. Matthew'S church,
but few firemen hurried to the spot,
and the possibility of FIRE in this
building was cut off by their prompt
work.
The destruction of the edifice comes
as a sad blow to the members of the
church, but it will undoubtedly be re-
built as soon as possible.
Nothing daunted by their loss the
younger members of the congregation
announce that there will be social
given this evening in the parlors of
the Park Avenue M. E. church, and
the funds raised at the supper will be
for the benefit of the fund for the new
building. Supper will be served from
| $50 to 7:3O, and all are invited.
After the supper splendid program
OF songs and speeches will be rem
dered by we'll known local entertainers.

Members OF the County Board Go to
Racine to Investigate the In-
sane Asylum There.
G0NNERMANN FOR COUNTY AGENT
c. H. GoRnermann is Reelected For the
Twelfth Time to This Important
Office.

The members of the Kenosha Coun-
mic today and in their jaunt they will
visit the hospital for the insane at
Racine and will spend the afternoon
with the Racine County Board. The
visit to the hospital will be joint one
participated in by the members of the
County Boards of the two cities and
the manager of the hospital has made
great arrangements for the entertain
ment of the supervisors.
1t will be holiday among the in
ma tes and the entire institution will
be turned over into the hands of the
members Of the Board for examina-
ton. At noon a great dinner will be
served in the dining room and after
dinner the mem bers of the two boards
will make some suggestions for
changes in the hospital.
At present Kenosha county has
about forty patients in the hospital
and they are being cared for in a
proper manner. But the hospital has
proved to be too small for the increas-
ing demands of the two counties and
it is probable that at the meetings this
afternoon some plans will be put on
foot which will result In an enlarge
ment of the buildings Of the institr-
ton.
The plan to build an asylum for tho
insane in this county has been practis
cally dropped on account of the fact
that the State Board would not consent
to the erection of an asylum In this
county at the present time.
On account of the visit to Racine to-
day there were no sessions Of the
Board but at the session Thursday af-
ternoon Charles H. Gonnermann was
reelected as county agent of the coun-
ty. This is the twelfth time Mr..
Gonnermann has been elected to this
Office and the repeated election is a
recognition of the painstaking manner
in which the duties of the Office have
! been transacted. The paupers of the
county were never better cared for
than at the present time and the ex-
pense to the county for this work is
very small. The Board made an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for this purpose
for the coming year but it is proba BILE
that much of this amount will remain
| unspent when the Board meets again.
