ARTISTS MOST FINISHED WORK
Many People Call to View the Portrait of
Kencsha's Benefaceor and All
Express Approval.
(From Mondays Daily.)

The magnificent life portrait of Hon.
z. G.. Simmons recently painted by
Prof. r. w. Jaeger, of New York, ar
rived in Kenosha this morning and
was unveiled to the view Of the Ke-
nosha people in the parlors of the
Grant House this afternoon. During
the afternoon large number of people
have visited the hotel and viewed the
picture and the general verdict is that
the artist has managed to secure most
excellent likeness of Kenosha's bene-
factor.
The portrait is one of the largest, if
not the largest, Canvases ever brought
to Kenosha. It is eight feet IN height
and six in width and the canvas in en-
closed in a splendid and massive gold
leaf frame which assists in showing off
the work of the artist.
1t would be hard for one unac-
quainted with art to offer proper de-
scription of the picture and it must be
seen to be appreciated. The artist has
not only secured a magnificent like
ness of Mr.. Simmons, but the picture
is such a characteristic pose of Mr..
Simmons that it brings out the per
sona1ity of the man in an admira BILE
manner. Mr.. Jaeger states that he
considers the picture of Mr.. Simmons
the finest piece of work that he has
ever done.
The picture is made from photo
graph taken late in the summer of
1900. It is three quarter length full
life size and represents Mr.. Simmons
as he appears daily on the streets OF
the city. The coloring of the portrait
is exquisite and the artist in co1oring
the atmosphere chose his colors in a
manner to bring out the full strength
of the character of the subject.
Mr.. Jaeger came to Kenosha in per-
son to superintend the unpacking and
hanging of the picture, and in this
work he is being assisted by {. w
Carter, who has been in charge of his
work in Kenosha for some weeks. Il
is the plan to have the portrait hung
in the Gilbert M. Simmons Library as
a testimonial of the people of the city
to Mr.. Simmons for the many kind
nesses that he has done for the peo'
pie of the city.
The picture has been painted to oc'
cupy one Of the large panels above the
door of the library, and it is to be
hoped that nothing will interfere with
the plans of the artist to have the pic
ture placed in this position. The ex-
nibit today was a private one but It is
proba BILE that it will be hung in a
more public place later in order to al
low the general public of the city to
inspect the work of the artist.

County superintendent.
Kenosha, Dec. 80 100,

Kenosha, Dec. 80 1901.
Dear Editorials a number OF my
political friends seem to be pushing
nv name to the front for County STU
perintendent, even to the extent OF
getting out a petition in my favor l
deem it my duty to make a puoi1c
statement concerning the matter AT
present [ am not in position to as
sumo the duties of said Office If ten
dered, therefore, I did not announce
nv candidacy, Any efforts that may
have been exercised in my behalf were
entirely unsolicited, and for this reason
must say, doub1y appreciated.
The office of County superintendent
of Schools requires man of greater
learning and ability than any other
county position. To be successful
such an officer should possess a marked
degree of executive power and most
excellent Judgment Experience IN
teaching is an important factor; theory
is good, but a mind full of Normal
school methods can accomplish little
without practice. He ought to be
chosen from the ranks of Kenosha
county teachers, if such is possible.
His work must be one of love- mot
drudeery, and his entire time devoted
to the duties of his office. He must IN
the start be willing to sacrifice wealth
for position, for the principal IN
graded school is better paid in proper
ton to his duties and responsibilities
, than our County Superintendent.
In presenting this statement to the
public, I give assurance that my name
shall not stand in the way of any legal
applicant for the office at this time.
AS a county teacher, I hope to be able
to cooperate with the new Superln-
tendent in upholding and advancing
the present standard of our district
! schools While there is no certainty
that could have secured the appoint
ment had I been candidate, deeply
appreciate the kindly sentiments which
have been expressed by my friends OF
both political parties. At future
date, when circumstances shall be
more favorable, hope to avail myself
/ of some opportunities of life in the
shape of public Office. Then l trust
may more thoroughly merit the sup
port which is now being kindly ten
/ dered. Yours for better schools,

MRS. BRADFORD's EFFORT.

lively interest in the publication got

educational system of the State for
other things she noticed that due
place was not given to the great father
Ut the public school system OF the
Northwest, of whom she was most
intimate friend, Col Michael Frank,
OF Kenosha.
She wrote to the manager of the
work and urged that the old gentle

4ot forgotten as seemed to be the case
with so many of the educators of this
day, and she found that not one word
had been said about him and the book
was completed and ready for the bin
der. She was deeply grieved at this
purely unintentiona1 oversight, and at
once asked not to let the book get so
far along that at least picture of the
aged Colonel could not be inserted, and
she enclosed a photograph.
Immediately reply was received
that the receipt of that benevolent old
face had settled the matter and the
frontispiece of the book should be the
picture of Col. Frank.

SENATOR spooNER OF WISCONSIN.

Senator Spooner is in many respects
the most powerful man in the Senate.
He is recognized wheel horse. He
has ability; he has friends. A man
like Lodge has only the former, and
none too much of that. Spooner's ad-
vice is courted about everything of i'm
portance that is done in the Senate,
and he is as frequently as any other
man called to the White House for
con su1tation. He is not selfish. Many
big things that have been done have
been in the names Of other Senators,
though Spooner furnished the brains
for them.-Chicago Record Herald.

KENOSHA VS.. HARVARD.
Amateur Y. M. C. A. Team Went to Har-

The Amateur team of the Y. M. "A.
went to Harvard Saturday night to
play challenged game. It was called
at 8 O'Clock, and the hall was packed
with rooters for Harvard.
Kenosha won the first game by
twenty-nine pins, and the second by
six pins, but lost the last. They won
the match, however, by total of 2451
pins.
After being defeated the Harvard's

not in the previous game and put them

out, and then challenged the Amateurs
for one game. The challenge was ac-
cepted, and the Harvard boys we're
again beaten by a score of 843 to 700.
After this the Harvard team picked
their two strongest men and challenged
any two of the Amateurs for game.

MET TRAGIC DEATH.
John Blum, German Laborer, Falls Dead
After an Attack of Heart Disease.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

From Tuesdays Daily.)
John Blum, a 1aborer, forty-fve
years of age, met with tragic death
on Market street in this city this
morning.
Blum left his room, near the scene of
his death, shortly after 7 O'Clock, and
partially clothed it is supposed that he
started to a saloon to get some whis-
key. He walked out of the house and
started up the street, when he suddenly
fell forward on his face. He was
picked up and carried back to his room
but life was extinct before a doctor
could reach his bedside.
Coroner Lansdowne called a jury
and held an inquest in the case. The
evidence showed that Blum had been
drinking heavily for the last two or
three days and it is thought that the
excitement of the protracted debauch
brought on heart disease which caused
the mans death.
The remains were removed to the
Hansen Morgue and an effort is being
made to find the friends of the man.

ANOTHER NEW YEAR RESOLUTION.

Another publisher has come to the
conclusion that it grows monotonous
to run newspaper just for fun. In
the future the publisher of the Lodi
Enterprise will charge for resolutions,
poetry, cards of thanks, notices of
socia b1es, etc., at the rate of five cents
per line. In smany cases publishers
kick because they do not receive pay
for such notices, but they should not
blame the people who naturally take
all the free advertising they can get.
It's the publisher who is to blame for
not placing a value on his services and
advertising space.-Sauk County Dem

PLAN TO CONNECT LINES.
Lake County and Kenosha County Private
Telephone System TO be Merged.

Tolepnone system co De M6TSeu.
A private telephone company doing
business in the Southwestern part of
Kenosha county, is arranging to con-
meet with DR.. Jamison's private line,
which reaches from Mi1burn to Lamb S
Corners, Druce's Lake and Wadsworth,
in Lake county. In fact it is proposed
to merger the two lines, and incorpo-
rate as the Bristol Telephone COM
pany.
The Bristol Company has already
built up network of lines of more
than twenty miles in length, and
offers the use of its services to thirty
patrons at six dollars year.
The central office of the company
is in the village of Bristol, and lines
have been extended in every direc-
ton from this central Office to Salem,
Woodwork, Union Grove, Brighton,
Paris and in a round about manner
with the city of Kenosha.
Reports of officers of the Kenosha
company at a recent meeting showed
that the cost per mile for the con-
struction of the lines was about thirty
two dollars. The company has already
received many requests for extensions
of the lines, and these will be made
next year, both in Kenosha and Lake

FIGHT FOR CHILD.
Judge Fisk Takes Case of chester Peterson

Under dvisement-Decision Later.
The fight between John Petersen, of
Racine, and Mrs. Charlotte Andrews,
of this city, for the possession of Ches-
ter Petersen, the little seven-year-old
son of Mrs. Myrtle Andrews Petersen,
now deceased, came up before Judge
Fish in Racine last Saturday after
noon, when the alleged father of the
child asked that he be granted the Gus
tody of the child. Petersen not only
claimed that he had always supported
the child, but claimed that he was the
father of the child. This fact was dis
puted by the Kenosha relatives of the
child and the Judge took the matter
under advisement and will render a
decision in the matter later in the
week. 1t is very probable that the
child will be given into the custody Of
Petersen. The Judge will, it is
thought, order the child returned to
the home of the fathef and at that
time an effort will be made to have d
guardian for the child appointed III
the regular manner. Petersen has
made no effort to take the child by
force from the Andrews home in this
city, but is depending on the order Of
the court.
The evidence in the case, as present.
ed Saturday, was of most revolving
nature and the court decided to hear
any further evidence behind closed
doors. In the meantime the child is
resting peaceab1y at the home of his
grandmother in this city.
