PETITION ExoITEs INTEREST
Other Cities Anxious to Know What Keno

Other Cities Anxious to Know What Keno
sha VIII Do With Free Lunch Ordinance.
The Free Lunch ordinance recently
asked for by the saloon men of Keno.
sha is attracting a great deal of atten-
ton among the cities of the State and
surrounding States and City Clerk
Jacob is receiving many communities
tons in regard to the proposed 1egisla-
ton against the free lunch counter.
The most dignified communication yet
received comes from one of the mem
bers of the General Assembly of the
State of Illinois, who seems to be look
ing to Kenosha to abolish the free
lunch and to set an example which
other cities may follow.
The committee to whom the matter
of framing the ordinance was referred
have not as yet taken any action, but
they will be ready to make some sort
of report at the next meeting of the
Council.
The idea of the Kenosha saloon
keepers, which seems to be an entirely
novel one, is attracting attention
everywhere and it is probable that. the
saloon-keepers Of other cities will fol-
low in the path set by Kenosha and
make an effort to do away with the
free lunch.

Board of Education OF Madison Asks
Prof. Robert A. Maurer to Ac-
cept a Position There.
MAURER MAY STAY IN KENOSHA.
Board of Education Will Probably Offer
Him an Increase of Salary to Remain
Recognition of Worth.

Prof. Robert A. Maurer, teacher of
history in the Kenosha High school,
has received a call from the Board of
Education of Madison to accept the po-
sition of teacher of United States his
tory in the schools of the State capitol.
Mr.. Maurer has not as vet accepted the
position and it is possible that he will
remain in Kenosha for another year at
least. The position comes to Mr..
Maurer without any solicitation on his
part and is high honor for so young
teacher. It is also splendid recog-
milton for the work that the teacher
has done in the Kenosha schools dur
ing the past year.
Mr.. Maurer is a graduate from the
State University of the class of 1901.
He prepared himself especially for the
work of teaching history and his pre-
paration was certainly a successful
one. At the close of the school year
last year Mr.. Maurer was selected to
take the place of Prof. Newberry in
the city schools. He came to Kenosha
without experience but his work was
of such high order that the members
of the Board and the patrons of the
schools are ready to give him the high
est recommendation.
With the offer of a positions.atg the
State capitol Mr.. Maurer is offered a
large increase of salary. The matter
of the call has been brought before the
Board of Education and so universal is
| the sentiment in favor of Mr.. Maurer
remaining in Kenosha that at the next
meeting of the Board it is probable
that some effort will be made toshave
| him remain here.
| Mr.. Maurer is general favorite
with the students of the High school.
He has brought quite little enthusi-
asm into the schools and has done
much to bring about better school
spirit among the children. He has
been active with Mr.. Dickie in work
ing up strong athletic team and has
also taken an active interest in the
student declamatory contests.
It is to be hoped that the Board will
be able to make some arrangements
with Mr.. Maurer whereby he will re-
main in Kenosha and continue to have
charge of the chair of historys in the
city High school.

Chairman Jackson of Tho Third Sena-
tOriaI District Issues a Cal For
the Convention.
MANY CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD
Convention Will BE Held in Racine on July
g3d and Kenosha County Will Have
Twelve Delegates.

Johnson A. Jackson of this city,
chairman of the Third Senatorial Re-
publican committee, has sent out call
tar tne meeting of the district conven-
iiou to nominate candidate to repre-
sent the third district in the State
Senate. The convention is called to
meet at Racine on July I'D and prom
Uses to be the hottest senatorial con-
vention ever held Ia the district. Ke-
nosha will be entitled to twelve dele
gates at the convention and they will
be elected at the same time as the del
egates are selected to represent the
county at the, coming state convention.
Kenosha county will go intosthe con-
vention badly handicapped as the RAJ
cine delegation will out number the
Kenosha delegation two to one.
That there will be fight for the
nomination of a senator is certain.
For several years certain men in Ra-
cine county have had ambitions to GO
to the Senate as a representative of
the district and this is the year that
|
fight. The fact that the Racine county
Republicans will present the names Of
five men to the convention may offer a
civil strife which will result in the
nomination of Kenosha county man.
Up to the present time five candi-
dates have been announced. John f.
| Reynolds is the one candidate pro-
posed by this county and it is probable
that he will have the entire support OF
the county in his candidacy. Not a
single candidate has appeared to CON
test the right with him and as he is
universally popular both in the rural
and city districts of the county he will
undoubtedly be endorsed for renom-
nation. Senator Reynolds will also
have some followers in Racine county.
The time honored agreement of the
Republicans of the two counties-to
allow Kenosha to name the Senator Sc
long as Racine had the representative
in Congress make the balance
of power largely in favor of Senator
Reynolds.
Notwithstanding this fact there
seems to be tendency among the Ra-
cine peop1eto overlook this agreement.
j. S. Blakey, of Union Grove, one of
the old time and regular candidates
for senator, was in the field early in
the year and it is announced that he
has secured quite following. Byron
Blake, of Racine, is also one of the
strong candidates in that county and
Attorney John Owen, who is a we'll
known attorney, is also a promising
fighter.
Mr.. Mitchell, the well known wagon
maker, is also mentioned as a candi-
date, but he has not as yet formerly
announced that he will seek the nom
nation from the convention. w. T.
Lewis is the last of the Racine quin-
tette, to seek Office and it is claimed
that he will be the dark horse in the
convention in case OF a dead lock
among the delegates.

A GREAT "PETRUCHIo.

Charles Il. Hanford and Splendid Com
pany Delights Small Crowd at Rhode.
Many Shakespearean plays have
been produced in Kenosha, but never
was one given SO hearty a reception as
was "The Tanning of the Shrew," pro-
duced by the eminent actor, Charles
B. Hanford, and an entirely competent
company at the Rhode opera house
Wednesday evening. The crowd in at
tendance was small one, but it appre-
ciated the splendid work of the players
and curtain calls were repeatedly
given.
There is an originality about the
"Shrew," as produced by Mr.. Hartford,
which is entirely delightful. The dry
drag of the Shakespearean drama is
entirely removed, and the play, as pro-
duced, might have been considered the
brightest of all farce comedies.
In the leading role of 'Petruchio"
Mr.. Hanford was the star of the even
ing. He brought his personality into
the part in such a manner that the
audience was always laughing while
he was on the stage.
Mrs. Hanford, who is known to the
stage as Marie Drofnah, took the in
teresting role of Katherine in a man
ner that won her repeated applause.
In the part Mrs. Hanford, like her hus-
band, has an original Interpretation
which adds great deal to the beauty
Of the play as written by the favorite
English playwright.
The play was staged in very beau
tiful manner, the stage settings being
fully in keeping with the high class
performance given.
Mr.. Hanford is assured a warm well
come to Kenosha should he decide to
make another appearance in the city.

Owing to the damp atmosphere and

stated that the ruler of Zion has ad-

In consequence of the order the men
