of E. ]. Pennington, Sunday settled
the unpaid board bills left by her hus
band when he left Racine recently,
and was allowed by B. Silloway,
manager of the Hotel Racine. to pack
the clothing and other personal affects
which had been held as security. 1t is
said Mr.. Silloway compromised and
accepted $500 IN settlement of the
amount due.
When Mrs. Pennington had packed
all her belongings, seven trunks had
been filled. These we're taken to the
North Western depot and checked to
Toronto, Canada. Mrs. Pennington
refused TO state whether or not her
husband is in that city, but said all
claims left by the inventor and pro
moter il Racine would be paid soon.

through the income of $500 month

the estate of her father, E. E. Butter

She says also that her husband is
working on the plans for an auto
mobile invention, and that she is

ENGAGE MISS MACPHERSON.

Former KenOsha Assistant Librarian VIII
Take Full Charge of Watertown Library.
Miss Maude Macpherson, who recent
ly resigned her position as assistant
librarian of the Gilbert M. Simmons
Library to GO to Pittsburgtto accept a
similar position, has returned to the
West and is spending a few days with
friends in Kenosha before going to
Watertown to accept new position.
AT Watertown Miss Macpherson will
become librarian of the new library.
The position will offer every chance
for advancement. Miss Macpherson
had splendid position in Pittsburg
but she preferred the library work in
this state and the position at Water
town being offered to her without
solicitation she accepted it.
Miss Macpherson is a graduate of
the Wisconsin University Librarians
course and she is amply qualified to
take charge of the new library. The
many friends of the young lady in
Kenosha will be pleased to hear of her
success in securing so good a position,

Board Of Education Holds Its Regular
Monthly Meeting at the City Hall
Tuesday Evening.
TWO MORE MEMBERS NEEDED.
Death of August Meiser Leaves Another
Vacancy ON the Board.-Coal Contracts
Finally Settled Up.

The Board of Education met in reg
ular session at the City Hall Tuesday
evening, and the meeting was one of
the shortest and most uuiuteresting
ones ever held by the Board. Not
withstanding the cold weather goodly
number of the Commissioners attended
and the important business before the
Board was transacted in short order.
The designations of Misses Baker
and Robinson, who recently gave up
their work ia the schools, were accept
ed, and the committee reported that
one of the vacancies had been filed by
the election of Miss Mamie Toner. No
action was taken in regard to the Sc
lection of new principal for the Dur
kee school, more than to adopt the
recommendation of the committee pro.
viding that male teacher, and if pos
sible Normal graduate, be secured
for the position. The committee was
given power to select the principal,
and it is probable that the choice will
be made during the present week.
The prevailing question of coal came
up before the Board, and the old query
as to the quantity Of soft coal being
furnished to the schools was thoroughly
discussed. After the discussion the
Board decided to accept the PROPOSE
ton of the contractor, and his bill will
be paid as soon as he delivers two extra
tons of coal. 1t was alleged that the
coal was of an inferior quality, and the
contractor was allowed to make up in
quantity what was lacking in quality.
The committee recently appointed to
secure telephones for the schools was
given further time in which to make
some arrangements with the company
now operating in the city. AS it is
probable that the new company will
not have an Exchange in operation IN
less than eighteen months, the schools
will have to depend upon the old COM
pany. Just at present the committee
has not been able to get any conces-
sions from the Wisconsin company,
and it is not thought possible for the
schools to pay the full rates for the use
of the phones. Seven instruments will
be needed for the different buildings,
and the plan of sthe committee is to
have ali the phones connecting the
schools on common line.
At the meeting Tuesday night for
NAL announcement was made of the
death of August Meiser, who for the
past year has been the representative
from the Seventh ward on the Board.
Several of the Commissioners spoke of
the services which Mr.. Meiser had rem
dered to the city, and the Superinten-
dent was ordered to notify the City
Council of the vacancy, The death of
Mr.. Meiser leaves but fourteen mem
bers on the Board. Will Marx recently
removed from the Fourth ward, leav-
ing vacancy there.
1t is probable that the Council will
ell both of the vacancies at the next
meeting on Monday evening. No cam
didates for the positions have APP
peared, and as the tenure of the office
is short one it will probably be hard
to secure men to fill the vacant places.

SUFFERING is REPORTED.
Two Cases of Destitution Reported to the
County Agent and Help Is Given.

Two Cases of Destitution Reported to the
County Agent and Help Is Given.
A sad case of restitution was re-
ported to the County Agent this
afternoon in family residing near the
Burlington road. The family consists
Of the husband, aged 20, wife, aged
IL, and a baby nine days old. For
some time the husband has been out of
work on account of an accident and
the neighbors found the family almost
frozen and starved this morning. The
husband and wife were too proud to
ask for charity and the provisions in
the household became exhausted while
the coal which was left could have all
been placed in a small scuttle. The
County Agent went to the house this
afternoon and over the protests of the
family insisted on sending provisions
to the house. The husband insisted
that he be allowed to make restitution
when he was again at work.
Another case was reported to the
City Clerk today in which a mother
and eleven children are suffering. Two
of the children are at work and the
other nine have been forced TO drop
out of school on account of the fact
that they have no clothing to wear.
The case is a deserving one and it is to
be hoped that the people of the city
will find some way to relieve the
suffering. The CITY has provided tenn
porary relief to the family but the
clothing will have to be secured from
other sources.

AN INTERSTATE BALL LEAGUE.
Move Is on Foot to Include Racine and
KenOsha In Circuit.


It was learned today that plan is
on foot to organize an interstate league
among the different base ball teams of
the following cities: Racine, Kenosha,
Chicago, Elgin, Aurora and Wood
stock. Yesterday Mr.. John Keary of
Chicago and E. j. Hamlin of Aurora
were in the city consulting number
of the base ball managers in regard to
this movement and meeting has been
called at Chicago on the 18th of this
month.
This morning in an interview with
one of the promoters of the team in
this city it was learned that such a
move was on foot and that no definite
action would be taken for some time to

league will be formed .by these six
teams and if it is done the fans in the
city will witness number of exciting
games of ball las all teams are evenly
matched.
