BOYS GET VENGEANCE.
Bad Boys on the North Side Get Square
with the Gas Company.

with the Gas Company
Three boys ranging in age from
twelve to seventeen years were arrested
Friday night by Officer O'Hare on the
charge of malicious mischief. The
boys had been 1oafing about the
trenches of the Gas Company on Mil
waukee avenue, and had cut large
hose belonging to the fire department
and had carried off large brass nozzle.
The boys were brought into the police
Office this morning and given a good
talking to. None of them will be pros
ecuted at the present time, but should
they be found in any future mischief
an effort will be made to send them all
to the reform school. The company
also complain that several lanterns
have been stolen from the trenches,
and it is thought that this crime can
be traced to the same crowd of boys.
All the boys are mem bers of good fam
lilies, and for this reason the prosecu-
ton was stayed by the police.

RECITAL.

A very pleasant recital was given
Friday evening in the Y. M. c. A. hall
by the pupils of Mrs. Wolfe and Mr..
Hague. 1t was well attended by the
friends and relatives of those partici-
pating in the exercises. The object of
the recital was not to entertain but to
give the pupils experience in singing
in public, some appearing at the above
recital for the first time. To those
who heard some of the pupils at the
last recital there was a very marked
improvement and the work on the
whole reflected great credit upon the
teacher. The selections were not
snowy but were such that gave the
pupils an opportunity to put into prac-
tice the principles of instruction. A
new feature in this recital was the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Hague's pupils in
piano.

LAFoLLETTE PLAN EXPOSED.
Attempt to Secure Endorsement of LaFol-
Iette Falls Through.
(From Saturdays Daily.)


(F'rom Saturdays Daily.)
A report from Racine states that
Governor La Toilette and his ninions
have made an effort to force them
selves into the candidacy for the
nomination of Congressman in the
First district and that the friends of
the Governor have started a fight on
II. A. Cooper for the sake of securing
an endorsement of La Toilette in
Racine county. The nerve of a La
Toilette Supporter is surely something
wonderful when he would come into
the sacred precincts of Racine or Ke-
nosha county and seek support for the
reigning head of the state. The two
counties in Southern Wisconsin have
always been Whitehead counties, and
from the first announcement Of the
candidacy of the GAINESVILLE man the
two have stood as sponsors for him.
The plan of the Governor was
poorly laid one. It planned to secure
majority of the delegates sent to the
preliminary convention for the purpose
OF securing an endorsement of La
Toilette by the convention. Of course
the success of such plan would have
given the La Toilette papers chance
to make loud howl, but it was. easily
frustrated. The ward caucuses were
to have been held next week and it was
discovered that ward states had peen
made IN every ward by the La Toilette
supporters, and the plan was to nomin-
ate these men. If they were not able
to control the convention they were In
structed to threaten to GUST Cooper
unless La Toilette delegates were
selected.
By doing this the La Toilette people
thought they would be able to force
Cooper to commit himself either to La
Toilette or Whitehead. When the
game was discovered by Senator
Bissell the La Toilette people raised
the cry that there would be no opposi-
ton to the denomination of Mr..
Cooper and that there was no use
fighting for delegation. 1t is certain
that Racine county will not endorse
La Toilette.
It would be exceeding interesting
if the La Toilette henchmen would
make similar effort in Kenosha
county. There are perhaps four
followers of the Governor in the county
who take an active part in politics and
their efforts to control the caucuses
would be exceedingly 1udicrous.

An old gentleman was wandering.

THE Senate Committee on Public
Buildings has practically completed
consideration of the omnibus public
buildings bill and there is no hope
that Kenosha can secure an appropria-
ton at this session. When public
building legislation is to be enacted
all members are eager to secure share
of the 'pork" for their districts and
such tremendous pressure is brought
to bear upon the committee that the
actual need of public buildings in some
cities is lost sight of ia the general
scramble. To avoid a row and secure
the passage of the bill as fair an APP
portionment as possible is made be.
tween the different claimants. Mr..
Cooper, having secured an appropria-
ton for city in his district-Janes-
ville-from the last Congress, was not
considered to be entitled to slice of
the present pie. The fact, as shown
by Mr.. Cooper, that public building
was urgently need in Kenosha, carried
very little weight, and the city will
have to wait until such time as the
First Wisconsin district is entitled to
another dip in the pork barrel.

FELL FROM A BATH TUB.

f
Little George Dudley Hale Meets with
Serious Accident at His Home.
Little George Dudley Hale, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Hale, met with a
serious injury Thursday evening at
his home on Eagle street. The little
boy with one of his friends was play
ing about the house and wandered into
the bath room. He climbed up on a
BATH tub and slipped and fell, his head
and face striking against projecting
faucet. The face of the little boy was
terribly bruised and it was necessary
to call a doctor to attend him. The
child had narrow escape from losing
one Of his eyes, and had the faucet
struck him full in the face the eye
would have undoubtedly been put out.

Mayor States That Saloon License Fees

The City Clerk is busy today sending
out notices of the payment of saloon
license fees and there has been a de-

years the saloon men were allowed to
worry along for couple of weeks or
months without paying the licenses,
but the Mayor will brook no delay this
year. The pertinent portion of the or
der reads as follows:

THE designations OF the various
teachers recently sent to the Board of
Education have simp1ified the situa-
ton for the committee on teachers.
The committee can now go ahead and
select teaching staff without being
obliged to pay too much attention to
the discussions among the members of
the board. Without wishing to enter
into any discussion of the qualihca-
tions of the various teachers in any
way it must be admitted that very
considerable minority of the board be-
lieve that the time had come when a
change would be beneficial to the
schools. The dignifed course of Prin-
cipal Wiswa1l in declining to enter
into any COL test has been very gener-
ally commended by the people who are
more interested in the good COT the
schools than in the success of any par
ticular faction of the Board of Educa-
ton. No one knows better than Prof.
Wiswa1l the harm that would come to
the entire school system1of the city
from having principal in charge who
was not in harmony with the whole
board and his action in refusing to be
party to any fight for the position
shows that he is unwilling to sacrifice
the interests of the schools for his own
personal benefit. There will be plenty
OF material to select from in choosing
the teachers to fill the vacant posi-
tons. The.board is almost swamped
by the number of applications pouring
in. If the board will drop politics for
while it ought to be comparatively
simple matter to select some one who
is thoroughly competent to teach and
who can work in harmony with the
board.

THE President has been called too
impetuous, but even the most narrow
minded of his critics must admit that
he acted wisely in swapping the bands
of official red tape and proceeding to
the utmost limit of executive author
ity," and possibly little beyond the
limit on ordinary occasions III his en-
ergetic efforts to succor the perishing
victims of the ST.. Pierre catastrophe.
With his quick grasp of the situation
he realized that the bewildered and
starving survivors must have help at
once if they were to be saved and he
bent all his energies to the task of
putting in motion the cumbersome
machinery of government to afford re-
lief before it was too late. His prompt
ness and vigor have aroused the ad-
miration of the people of other nation
alities. The English are especially
chagrined that their government
should be so far behind the United
States in the work of rescue and they
are contrasting the hesitancy and lack
of action of their own government
with the manner in which the United
States has risen to the emergency.
Not content with furnishing govern
ment aid alone and firm in the faith
that his countrymen would respond
promptly and generously to any appeal
for charity in behalf of the suffering
islanders, the President selected lead
ing men in each great city of the coun-
try and informed them by telegraph of
their appointment as committeeman to
raise contributions that fund might
be av liable for use when the govern
met 4ppropriation was exhausted.
