/. George Lohr Drowned, With His
Sweetheart at Madison, Had APP
piled For a Position Here.
DEATH BEATS HIS APPLICATION
superintendent Norman l.. Baker Reads OF
the Young Mans Death Before He Re-
ceives the Application.

Kenosha is playing small part in
the tragedy attending the drowning OF
L. George Lohr and Miss Ada L. Haw-
lev, which occurred on Lake Mendoza
at Madison Wednesday evening, for a
short time before the young man
started out on the lake with Miss
Hawley he mailed to Superintendent
Norman L. Baker, of this city, an APP
plication for the position of teacher Of
history in the Kenosha High school.
Death beat the application, for long
before the letter from Mr.. Lohr was
received seeking place in the
schools of Kenosha the superintendent
had read of the sad tragedy which re-
suited in the loss of the lives of the
two young people.
Lohr was to have graduated at the
State University next week and had
been teaching in EauClaire. How
ever, when he heard of the resignation
of Prof. Maurer as teacher of history
in the Kenosha schools some of his
friends who were we'll acquainted in
Kenosha had urged him to apply for
the position.
Superintendent Baker, in speaking
of the matter this morning, said that
he had been exceedingly sorry to hear
of the death of young Lohr as his APP
plication was the best that had been
received by the board. The men,
bers of the Kenosha board had
heard of young Lohr and he would
have probably been asked to come to
Kenosha had he not met with such a
sad death.
The death of young Lohr and his
sweetheart, Miss Ada Hawley, is one
of the saddest accidents that ever took
place in Wisconsin. Both of the young
people were members of the senior
class at the University and both would
have received their degrees next week.
On Wednesday evening just after
Mr.. Lohr had written his letter to the
Kenosha superintendent he and Miss
Hawley went out on Lake Mendoza for
row. They were IN small boat and
it is supposed that in attempting to
change seats in the boat the little YES
sci was capsized and Miss Hawley fell
into the lake. In attempting to save
her from death young Hawley was also
buried beneath the waves.
For the past two days efforts have
been made to recover the bodies of the
unfortunate young people but thus far
the effort has been in vain.

OId-NeW Signs.

The decision of the Lombard street
bankers to celebrate the coronation by
reviving their ancient signs is likely
to result in converting that home of
money changers into a picturesque
thoroughfare. Some of these signs are
quaint, and there fs quite store of
interesting lore and legend associated
with the origin of at least large pro-
portion of them. Among them are the
Halbert and Hart, The Ram, Two
Bellies and Siren, Bellows and Bull,
Three Angels, Bible and Crown, Fox
and Fleece, Golden Anchor, Golden
Key, Golden Bottle, Golden Cross,
Cardinals Cap, Anchor and Crown,
Anchor and Ring, and many others,
there being upward of 100 altogether.
These devices are to be shown by
means of electric light during the cor
onation week. but the idea is to keep
the signs in permanently, and there
is no question that they will be well

Chief OF Police Timme will Demand
That all Dogs in the City be
Muzzled at Once.
AFFECT OF THE MAD DOG SCARE
Action is Taken by the Mayor in Order to
be on the Safe Side-Proclamation
Issued This Afternoon

The dogs in Kenosha are to be muz
zled for the next two months and the
Chief of Police and the City Attorney
are now at work on an ordinance
which will give the Police department
chance to kill every dog in the city
which is not protected by the muzzle.
The muzzling,of the dogs will be the
result Of the incident of Friday morn.
ing when dog supposed to be af.
fected with the rabies bit large mum
Der of dogs in different parts of the
citys Many of the dogs bitten have
been killed, but there are many others
which were bitten which have not
been discovered by the man with the
gun, and for this reason in order tc
protect the people and the dogs the
police have decided to make an effort
to have all sdogs muzz1ed. Not since
DR.. William M. Farr was Mayor have
the dogs of Kenosha been forced to
submit toi the inconvenience of the
muzzle. In former years it was al.
ways customary TO muzzle Kenosha
dogs between the months of June and
September, but after considera bic in.
vestigation it was discovered that the
muzzles did more harm than good and
the practice was abandoned.
No general order for the muzzling of
the dogs has as yet been sent out, but
every owner of a dog which was bitten
by the alleged mad dog should see to it
that the dog is muzzled at once.
There will undoubtedly be a great
deal of opposition to any plan to mug
zle all the dogs in the city, as many of
the dogs were shut up at the time that
the mad dog made the rounds of the
city and the owners of these animals
think that the muzzle will be hard
ship which the CANNES should not be
forced to bear. Others urge that there
is no positive evidence that the dog
killed on Friday was mad and that the
officers should not issue the muzzle
order until some of the dogs show
some signs of madness. Of course, if
possible, in order to be on the side of
safety, all dogs bitten should be killed,
but general slaughter of the dogs in
the city is not demanded at this time.
Later--Late this -afternoon Mayor
Pfennig issued an order demanding
that all dogs be muzz1ed until the first
of October.

They wanted Foo Much.

Two elderly ladies and an old man,
evident strangers in the city and who
were carefully guarding a huge tele-
scope between them, stood in front of
the grand for an hour yesterday wait
ing for some kind soul to direct them
to the residence of a friend they had
come to visit. The noise and hustle
of the city evidently confused them
and they stood bewildered, not know
ing which way to turn. Finally one
of the ladies plucked up courage to adj
dress man who was passing by, say
ing: Gould you tell me where Will
Blank lives?'
'sWho?" inquired the man.
why, Will Blank He used to live
next door to us at Linton and we have
come in to see him."
The man had to acknowledge he had
never even heard of Will Blank, and
the old lady turned away with scorn-
full smile, saying ooh, thought per-

Civil Service Examination Held This
Morning Was the Easiest Ever
Given in Kenosha.
BUT THREE APPLICANTS FOR 1T.
Civil Service Managers Let Down and Fur
nished an Easy Set of Questions
But Few Took Advantage

The boys of Kenosha who are seek
ing positions in the employ of ''Uncle
Sam" as postofice clerks and mail car
riers missed a rare opportunity today
when they failed to take the civil SER
vice examination given under the di-
rection of the Postofice department
at the City Hall. Once in great while
the man who makes out the questions
for the examination has a kindness
in his heart for the boys being ex-
amined andl the set of questions sent
out for today's examination was one
of these sets. Just why. these easy
questions are sent out is not known,
but it is supposed to be done on ac-
count of the fact that in, many places
the supply of available linen for posi-
tons in the service is veryilimited.
The exanlination:was so]'easylthat the
three candidates asimply asmiled at
them and completed thel full examina-
ton in few hours. MI The questions
were so simple that boyiin the fifth
grade in the city schoolsl ould have
been denied pass hadI he failed to
make grade of eighty on them.
There were but seven; applicants for
the examinationssin Kenosha and of
this number but three attended the
examination. AT present there are
no vacancies in the postoffice, but as
the men examined this morning are
trying for both clerk1and Ocarrier posi-
tons it is probable that the high rank
they should receive from the examina-
ton willsresult in their soon securing
place in the Office.
Kenoshasboys seem.to takeslittle in
terest in these examinations. At the
present time there is an abundance of
work in Kenosha for all, and the posi-
tons in the postofice do not hold the
same glamour which they once held.
The bright Kenosha young man who
is able to write good hand and take
charge of a..set of books can usually
secure position in which he can earn
considerably more than in the employ
of the government.

st. Mary's Home on the Lake Shore
Opened For Another Season
This Afternoon.
SIXTY WAITS COME FROM CHICAGO
Little Children are Brought to Kenosha to
Spend the Summer In the Fresh Air and
Sunshine Along the Lake Shore.

St. Mary's Summer Home for chill
dren under the direction of the Sisters
of st. Mary was opened this afternoon
and sixty-fve little waits picked up
about Chicago came up this afternoon
to make the home their abiding place
for the summer. The children have
been looking forward to the open
ing Of the home at Kenosha for many
months and their arrival on the lake
shore this afternoon was like the gath
ering Of big family after a year of
separation. Many of the children
have been at the home for two and
three years in the past, but others are
new Corners who have never spent a
summer mid the lake breezes.
The children range in age from six
to fourteen years and nearly all of
them are the children of working
mothers who are forced to give them
into the care of the Sisters in order to
make it possible for them to work and
earn living for the other memb ers of
the family. Nearly all the little girls
are charity charges for whose keeping
the sisters charge absolutely nothing.
The children found the home greatly
improved since they left last fall. The
buildings have been repaired and re-
painted and the equipment has been
materially increased. The home will
be in charge of Sister Francis, of the
Chicago home, and number of associ-
ate sisters will come up from Chicago
to assist in the care of the little waits.
The children found the house we'll
stocked with provisions, as just before
the close of Kemper Hall the young
ladies had their annual donation party
and left the home we'll stocked with
-four, sugar, and, in fact, all the neces-
saries of life.
While the usual courses Of study for
the children will be offered for the
summer months the Sisters are plan
ming to offer several innova tons
which will make life at the home more
profitable and more pleasant for the
children. An effort is being made to
have the annual picnic for the pare is
of the children this year. For the past
two years it has been impossible for
the Sisters to arrange for the picnic
but it is expected that the arrange
ments can be made this year.
AS in past years the home will be
supported entirely by charity. The
Sisters have absolutely no fund pro-
vided for the support of the home and
it is expected that the people of Keno.
sha will largely furnish the money
and provisions necessary to keep the
home open during the heated season.
In the past years the Kenosha people
have given most 1avishly to this labor
of love and the Sisters are now asking
for continuance of the gifts. The
children will remain at the home until
late in September. There is no more
worthy charity in the city and dollar
given to the summer home will furnish
more good than dollar expended on
any other charity.
