County Superintendent Taylor Presents
His Annual Report to the County
Board OF Supervisors.
GREAT ADVANCEMENT IS MADE.
The Year just Past Has Been the Most
Prosperous In History of the Schools
Changes are Urged.

County Superintendent George w.
Taylor this morning presented to the
County Board his annual report of the
schools of Kenosha county, and the re-
port shows such a splendid existing
condition of things educational that
all the people of the city and county
will be glad to take a pride in the
county schools.
This is the first report that Super
intendent Taylor has submitted to the
Board but the work done during the
year shows that he has taken hold of
the schools with a firm hand and their
condition shows that he is entirely
competent of handling the educational
affairs of the county.
The financial report for the year
shows that the total receipts from all
sources for the uses of the schools were
S31, 671.90 and during the year the total
amount paid out was $24, 5000. Of this
amount more than $4,000 was paid
4ut in salaries to teachers.
The old Indebtedness on the different
schools was paid off and quite little
was expended in repairing the build
iugs about the county. Superintend-
eat Taylor showed that the amounts
received from the State for school pur-
poses had been increased and that in
this light the taxes for this purpose
levied in Kenosha county will be
larger.
The total number of school children
Ia the county this year was 1888 and
forty-one per cent of this number at
tended the county schools during the;
year, the average attendance being
1,457. The cost of instruction for each
child educated during the year was
$16.85, an increase of 1851 over last
year. Thisincrease is made up by the
increased efficiency of the schools.
There were IA male and "a female
teachers employed in the schools of
the county during the year and the av-
erage monthly pay for the teachers
was for males $46.25 and for females
$3.50, an increase over last year of
$6. 80 for the male teachers and 81 90
for the female teachers.
Superintendent Taylor in his report
held that the only way to secure the
best teachers in the schools was to pay
them a reasonable salary. While the
teachers of this county are not the
best paid teachers in the state they
will come close to the top.
In closing his report to the board
Mr.. Taylor urged that the board take
some action to secure the consolidation
of the schools of the county in the
districts where there are only few
pupils. He held that such an action
would prove benefit to the children
and would greatly decrease the annual
expenditure for the support of the
schools.
In the concluding paragraph Of his
report Superintendent Taylor paid a
tribute to the work of William Griffith
as County Superintendent. He said
early in January I was called to sue
coed a man who had been one of the
best county superintendent in the
state. Much of his work I have con.
tinued wholly or in part"

SOMEWHERE among the archives of
the city there is an ordinance which
provides that wagons hauling refuse
through the streets of the city must be
so covered that none of their contents
can be spilled on the street. II the
city authorities would occasionally en-
force this ordinance the labors of the
street cleaning gang would be reduced
one-half and the street would present a
much more creditable appearance.

Report From Waukegan States That
Electric Railways Have Been
Combined at Last.
BEGGS SEEKS A RIGHT OF WAY.
Report Has 1t That the Milwaukee Com
tween Waukegan and Kenosha.

A seemingly we'll authenticated re-
port from a property owner between
Waukegan and this city states that
the Milwaukee Eclectic Railway COM
pany, through lis agents, is seeking a
right of way for the construction of a
liue between Kenosha and Waukegan,
ard in connection with this report it is
stated that movement is on foot to
make merger of all the electric lines
now in operation between Chicago and
Milwaukee. This is plan that has
long been considered by the different
compa MES, but the officials of the Re
nosha company, who seem to hold the
keystone to any such a combination,
state emphatically that there has been
no combination of interests and that
the Kenosha line will be operated as a
local line.
Notwithstanding these positive
staten ants the Keuosha company has
taken 10 steps 10 erect power house ia
kenosl2, and as the company has
stated that the line would be in opera
ton within few weeks, it is openly
asserted by men who are at work on
the line that the power for the opera
ton of the lines in this city will be
obtained from the lines to the north of
the city.
Such combination of lines is the
natural outcome Of the work of the
past ten years and the prime purpose
in building the different railways was
Milwaukee and Chicago
The bridge will be completed in ten
days and the Kenosha line will then
practically be ready for operation.
During the present week the employees
of the company have been busy
stretching the trolley wires on the
streets comprising the through line
ard it is possible that the cars will be
started with the completion of the
bridge.
If the reported merger has been
formed it will not be necessary for the
company to place any new cars on the
road, as the Milwaukee cars will sim
ply run to the south instead of the
north limits of the city.
Under his franchise Mr.. Arnold has
full power to make any combination
with the North and South companies
that he may desire and the people of
the city will show no opposition to
any plan that will result in the COM
pletion of the line between the two
large cities.

THE manufacturers of voting ma
chimes wouldu be more successful in in
Producing them if they would put the
price of their machines at a reasonable
figure. In the places where they were
tried the election officials are enthusi-
astic in their approval of the machines
and many'g'of the smaller cities
throughout the state would like to give
the'machines a trial,Ibut the present
exorbitant prices at which they held
by thes manufactures makes this inn
possible.

TRULY we are a forgetful people.
Who would have thought year ago
that any man could get up before an
audience in the second city of the
realm only little more than year
after McKinley's death and laud his
murderer as martyr" to a great
cause and denounce Mckinley as
'tyrant." That is exactly what nap
pened at publicmeeting of the "reds"
in Chicago Tuesday night, and, more
over, the sentiments of the speaker
were "wild1y applauded" to quote from
the newspaper accounts of the meet
ing. A year ago anarchy was to be
rooted out of the nation root and
branch. If there was no law to pun
ish it one was to be made and at once.
But nothing has been done to suppress
these people. Apparently nothing is
to be done. The first wild outburst of
Indignation against these people and
their doctrines has passed and other
matters of less moment occupy the
attention of the public. We are stor~
ing up wrath against the day of
trouble if ever a natiopdid, and when
the inevitable outbreak comes and
some other great and good man falls
before the bullet of some other assassin
whose mind has been poisoned in just
some such meeting as took place in
Chicago the other night, we will be
Just as shocked, just as Mortified and
just as helpless as we were when Nc
Xinley was murdered.

ROBERT IVAN ROBERTS DEAD.

Robert Ivan Roberts, the sixteen
year-old son of VIM. Roberts and the
late Margaret Vaughan Roberts, died
at his home on Grogan street at noon
Friday. He had been sick only two
weeks of typhoid fever.
Robert was most patient sufferer,
never complaining. He had been en-
ployed in the tool room at the Meise1-
bach factory, where he was great
favorite. During his sickness the
boys of his room would visit him and
he called every one in his delerium.
Robert was loved and revered by all
who knew him and his countless
friends are sorrowing for his irrepar-
able loss.

THIS throwing.of stones and firing
of shots at moving trains on the line
of the North Western road is altogether
too frequent for comfort. Something
will have to be done soon to stop it and
the road will have to get after the
guilty parties in earnest. 1t is getting
to be one of the regular incidents of a
trip to Chicago to have stone come
crashing through the car window.
The miscreants are getting colder
with every escape from punishment
and if they are allowed to go on the
way they have been doing it will not
be long before the trains are subjected
to regular ombardment.

IN the town of Frangen, Marathon
county, the inhabitants draw lots just
before every election to see who shall
be condemned to vote the Democratic
ticket. There is not Democrat in
the place, but in order to comply with
the law which says that before an cleo
ton can be held an election board
must be appointed which shall repre-
sent at least two political parties,
somebody has to be forced to vote the
Democratic ticket and represent that
party on the board. If the citizens of
Frangen are thinking of engaging
somebody who is willing to vote Dem
ocrat tic to come and live in that town,
Keuosha has several specimens of HUI
manity who claim to be genuine Demo-
crats-at least they are always around
when up for Office urging the voters Of
that political faith not to go "back on
the party" and ''to vote the straight
ticket"-any one of whom the better
element of the party would be glad to
ship up to Frangen without making
any extra charge. Some Of them
might be willing to go too. The graft
here is not so good as it used to be.

Board and number of the Of

especially was the new part fine and

fact there was nothing lacking to
make it one of the most perfect homes
for the unfortunate people that can be
found in the State. Altogether there
are one hundred and twenty-eight pa.
