ONE TEACHER SELECTED.

Miss Edna Bronson, of Evanston, to Teach
Greek and Latin.
Out of the mass of applications that
are being spread before them, the
Teachers committee of the Board of
Education have succeeded in selecting
one teacher for place in the High
school. Miss Edna Bronson, of Evans
ton, has been selected as teacher of
Latin and Greek, to succeed Miss
Miller, whose resignation was re-
Gently sent to the committee.
Miss Bronson is the unanimous
choice of the committee and this fact
assures her selection by the Board. In
the selection of Miss Bronson the
Board has made a wise choice as she
is eminently qualified for the position.
She is now a senior at Northwestern
University, at Evanston, and will com
plete her work in June. She has been
one of the finest students in the senior
class at Northwestern University and
has had considerable experience as a
teacher there. She comes very highly
recommended.
The committee have not as yet been
able to make any further choice Of
teachers, but it is possible that some
agreement will be reached at the meet
ing this evening.

The class of 1902 at the High school
has made a radical change in the pro.
gram for commencement at the close
of the present year and it is announced
that no class day will be held this
year. The only ceremony connected
with the close of the schools will be
the Commencement exercises. It is
stated by some of the members of the
faculty that the novel feature of class
day has been dropped for the year on
account of the fact that some of the
scholars who are members of the class
are badly behind in their work and The
members of the class have no other ex-

program for thelsgeneral exercises is

Kenosha Attorneys Call Into Question
the Right OF John Clausen, a
Justice Of Pleasant Prairie.
NO QUALIFICATION IS ON FILE
Elected by the People Clausen Qualified in
Pleasant Prairie, But Papers Were Not
RetUrned-Cases May Be Nolle6l.

The right of John Clausen to be the
ruling Justice of the town of Pleasant
Prairie has been called into question
by kenosha attorneys and it is posi-
bic that unless the legal mix up can be
settled it will be necessary to have all
the decisions that have been rendered
by Judge C1ausen declared null and
void. AS it is, the wheels of Justice in
Pleasant Prairie are badly c1ogged up
and it will probably be some time be-
fore the different Justices in the town
get their bearings.
The case of C1ausen is an interesting
one and it brings up the question as to
whether the negligence of the Town
Clerk can override the will of the peo-
pie as expressed at the polls. At the
last town election in Pleasant Prairie
Justice C1ausen was selected as Justice
Of the Peace by large majority of the
voters of the town. The records of the
election show that C1ausen was the
choice of the people. In due time JUS
tice C1ausen fulfilled the demands Of
the law by qualifying with the Town
Clerk of the town, but in some manner
il happened that the Town Clerk never
reported the qualification to the Clerk
of the Circuit Court and there is no
record that Clausen has ever qualified
as a Justice. In the meantime the new
Justice has continued to hold court
and to decide cases Until Wednesday,
when number of Kenosha attorneys
went out to the Prairie to try case
before C1ausen. The case was not al
together decided in favor of the attor-
neys and they beganto look for loop
hole. They found it when they inves-
tigated the credentials of the Justice.
Should the fact that his qualifca-
tons were not filed result in the
ermine of the judge being removed
from Justice Clausen, it is possible
that there will be bad legal mix up
among the people of Pleasant Prairie
who have gone to the justice to have
their little troubles settled. AS the
court has had no jurisdiction all his
decisions have been null and void.
The qualification of justices in Ke-
nosha county is a very uncertain
matter and out of the large number
elected each year only a small proper
ton of them file the necessary papers
to make their decisions legal and
binding. At every election there are
many vacancies to be filled and in
some of the towns there is not single
justice of the peace. 1t is possible
that this trouble will force the voters
of the towns to elect men to Office who
will qualify and serve the people in
the capacity of administrators of
Justice

River and Harbor Bill is Reported
Without the Proposed Amend
ments for kenOsha Harbor.
BUT $4,000 IS APPROPRIATED
Congressman From the District Hopes That
Other Appropriations Will Be Made in
Another Session of Congress.

The river and harbor bill as APP
proved by the Senate and House COM
mittees was reported to Congress We'd
nesday but it carries little of interest
for the people of Racine and Kenosha,,
as the com bined efforts of Congress
man Cooper and Senators uar1es failed
to secure any further recognition for
the two lake shore cities.
The appropriation for Kenosha is
placed at FIVE thousand dollars and
Racine is given an equal sum. The
two cities had each asked for a suf1-
cient appropriation to complete the
harbor work. needed but the committee
thought that the cities could wait until
the work was ordered done by the en-
gineer IN charge of this district. A
message from Congressman Cooper
to the NEWS Wednesday afternoon re-
ported that the appropriation for Ke-
nosha would remain the same as In the
House bill.
The agitation for further appropria-
tons, however, will not be wasted for
it is stated that during the coming
summer the government engineer and
the inspectors of harbors have been
authorized to make an examination of
the RECONSIDERATION and ascertain what
is needed and make report at the
next session ofssCongress. This is a
long step in the right direction and
there is little doubt but chat if any
further work is ordered by the engi-
neer it will be allowed without quib-
BILE. Congressman Cooper and Sena
tor Quarles made every possible effort
to secure an added appropriation for
Kenosha but so many things had been
given TO the first district during the
past two years that it was found inn
possible to convince the committee
that such expenditures were necessary.
1t is possible that some private work
may be done in the harbor during the
year which will in part do away with
the difficulties but this will be only of
temporary nature. Many of the
docks in the harbor are sadly in need
of repair and it is probable that the
owners of these decks will prefer to
rebuild their property before they con-
sent to the expenditure Of any money
for work which should be paid for by
the United States government.
With the Allen tannery managers
dredging the river there will be a great
improvement completed and this may
assist some little in overcoming the
draw backs now SO apparent.

Tuesday Charles H. Hack1ey, the
Muskegon millionaire, endowed the
Home of the Friend1ess with $4,000,
and Wednesday he presented the city
with hospital and building site which
will in the aggregate cost $15O,000.
The gift was announced by letter to
the trustees and mem bers of the First
Congrega tiona1 church. AS the prop
erty is OF sufficient value to authorize
an incorporation, this will be done.
A board of seven or nine trustees
will be selected by the church and
from among the citizens, and the hos
pita1 will be under their management
and that Of the Congregational church.
Mr.. Hackley has placed no actual limit
on the cost of the building, but has sig
nifed that he will endow the insti-
tuition with $4,000.
Besides caring for the sick it is the
intention Of the donor to establish a
school where the science of trained
nursing may be thoroughly taught.
The building will not cost less than
$4,000. The site comprises about two
and half blocks in the southeastern
portion of the city.

Two sporty Kenosha lads came to

also desired to make the acquaintance
of two pretty Racine mi1liners as they
were going home from their work after
the various stores closed. The would
he sports wore imitation Panama
straw hats, kid gloves and winter over
coats. They attracted considerable at
tention as they strutted along Main
street, and their familiarity with the
ladies attracted thepo1ice. The pretty
faailliner girls in passing the Southport
pair thought they knew them and re-
sponded with good evening" but TO
their sad grief.
The two sports thought they had
made catch and followed the young
ladies for several blocks and at last in
sisted that they must accompany
them home. The girls turned, about
and asssoon as they noticed they we're
strangers, they gave one terrible
scream which attracted the attention
of two we1l-knownc itizens on the west
side of College avenue who soon
learned the trouble and gave chase.

GRAVE OF DAUGHTER GUARDED
Dowie Said to Fear Body viii Be stolen
and Held For Ransom.

The fact that armed guards stand
watch over the grave of Dowie's
daughter at Lake Mound cemetery,
Zion City, at night, leads some to
think that Dowie fears her body may
be stolen and held for ransom. Mem
bers of the Zion Guard have kept
watch nightly. How long this is to be
kept up is not known, but probably
until the body is removed to the new
Zion City cemetery.
