Driving storm and chilling north wind
Yea the dreaded months Of winter.
With their gloom and frost and famine.
Had not power to dwarf our courage
Had not power to make us tarry
When our council held its sessions
At the wlgwams of our people.
They have listened for our coming,
Listened for our lightest football
They have given us the arm chairs
Yea, the best of all the others.
We have clasped the hand extended.
We have heard the voice of welcome,
We have listened to the programmes,
Fraught with merit, wit and wisdom;
Months have followed one the other
And Our year has al! departed,
Now unbidden are we gathered
Where our Scribe has made her dwelling,
We have mOored our light canoes.
In the shadow of her freight.
Where her sons, her growing warriors
Seek to lighten all her burdens.
Sought we venison inthe forest
Or grain from gathered harvest
Or fruit from tree or vineyard
Or the herb that cheers the people
Or the fragrant drink from Java
TO feast around her table,
For the years that she has served us
Years where duty was the watchword;
Touching lightly where was error
Praislng more than was deserving,
Needing not the toughest weather
To make record of our meetings.
Arc we mindful of her effort?
Let us tell her thus this week day
Tell her not to leave our Circle,
Though there may be greener pastures
Yet the thorn perchance be growing;
Stay, where love has clasped the circle
And engraved our names around it.
Among bread, meats. and parcels,
That our canoes were bringing
Found we this myterious package,
And came as wife of Blue Beard
did we seek to know Its contents.
And now this club of ladies'
| With dignity oershadoWed-
| Who never stoop to folly,
| Never listen to bare nonsense;
They have changed all former methods
| And now are sweet and spooney.
Sister Newcomb take this Offering
From the ladies of our circle
| May these bring the luscious oyster
| From the soup that has no equal
| Or dish delicious berries
| Gathered on the grassy hillside,
| Or still better mush SO toothsome
/ From the maize that crowns the harvest.
| May their brightness be a symbol
| An emblem, q reminder,
| That our friendship, that our circle,
/ Reaches over the dark river
1 And goes on, and OH forever.

Herman ROIoff is Arrested on Charge of
Assault on Account of an Accident.


Herman Ro1off, an employee of the
Simmons Manufacturing Company,
got into court this morning on an unu-
sua1 charge, his arrest being the result
of an accident. On Dec. 10 of last
year Roloff got into quarrel with one
of his fellow workmen at the factory
and hurled piece of iron at him. The
iron failed to hit the mark, but struck
Charles Schilling and broke his arm.
Schil1ing has since been under the
care of doctor and Roloff had con-
sented to pay the doctors bill. Schi1-
ling demanded that Ro1of also pay
him damages for loss of time, and this
the latter refused to do. When the
case was called Roloff was found
guilty Of assault and battery and paid
a line of dollar and costs. 1t is I'M
stood that Schilling will institute a
personal damage suit against Rolof
this afternoon to collect the damages
claimed for loss of time.

Miss Bessie Robinson and Miss Ethel
Baker Sever Their Connection With
the City Schools.
BOTH ACCEPT BETTER POSITIONS
Miss Robinson VIII Take Charge of the
Music in the Oeonomowoc Schools and
Miss Baker Goes to Maryland.

There will be two noteworthy va
cancies in the schools of Kenosha on
next Monday morning when the
scholars return for the new terms
work as Superintendent Baker has re-
ceived the designations of Miss Bessie
Robinson and Miss Ethel D. Baker,
and both of them will take effect at
once.
The resignation of Miss Robinson
has been presented on account of the
fact that she has been selected as
teacher of music in the schools of
Oconomowoc. Miss Robinson will be-
gin her duties there the first of the
new term and will have entire charge
of the music IN the schools.
By the resignation OF Miss Robinson
the Kenosha schools lose one of their
most ab1e teachers. Miss Robinson is
a graduate of the Kenosha High school
and she supplemented her work with
work IN the Normals and Universities
of the State. For the past nine years
she has been employed as primary
teacher, her latest work being at the
Frank school. She was very popular
with the children and the school pat
rons, and the Board of Education will
find her place hard one to fill. While
she has teen connected with the city
schools Miss Robinson has taken an
active interest in all enterprises allied
with them, and in the work of the
Alumni Association. She has been q
leader in the Teachers History Club,
and has done much to advance the in
terests of the organization.
In going to Oconomowoc Miss Rob-
inson will have more congeniai form
of work and larger sphere for ad-
vancement. She has been fitted for
teaching music and will undoubtedly
make success of her new position.
The many friends of Miss Robinson,
while regretting that she is to leave
Kenosha, will extend best wishes for
her success in her new work.
Miss Baker Resigns.
Miss Ethel D. Baker, principal of the
Durkee building, has rendered her res
ignation to take effect Immediately,
and the members of the Teachers
Committee will. have to wrestle with
the problem Of filling another vacancy
IN the list of the teachers in the city
schools, as Miss Baker will leave for
the East at once, to take a position as
instructor IN art and elocution at the
Maryland State Normal College, stu
ated at Frostburg, Md.
Miss Baker was not an applicant for
the position, and the offer of the trus-
tees of the Maryland school, which was
made on the recommendation Of the
teachers of the Pratt Institute, Brook
Ign, where Miss Baker had been a
student and where her work in the
branches she is to teach in future, had
already attracted attention, came in the
nature of an agreeable surprise.
Miss Baker has been most success
full teacher, and the fact that she has
been called to much higher place in
her chosen profession is the best evil
dence of her ability. She has been a
most thorough student and kept
abreast of the most advanced educa-
tiona1 ideas. Her loss will be felt in
the work of the schools and it is to be
greatly regretted that the Kenosha
schools must lose her services.

Elks Score a Social Success.


The most successful social event of
the year insKenosha and one that will
be long remembered among the people
of the city was dancing party given
by the Kenosha lodge of Elks in honor
of the losing of the old and the open
ing of the New Year.

Eiks, Simmons Hall was resplendent
in its decorations of purple and white,
the colors Of the order. Purple and
white were to be seen every where and
interspersed among the favorite colors
Of the best people on earth could be
found wealth of palms and flowers.
Kenosha society was we'll repre-
sented at the party and many guests
came from other cities to assist in the
gaieties of .the evening. Nearly two
hundred couples were in attendance
at the dance and the scene was one
long to be remembered.
The music was furnished by the
special orchestra selected from the
different musical organizations Of the
city.
At eleven O'Clock refreshments were
served at the Eichelman Hotel. The
dining room was pretti1y decorated for
the occasion with the colors of the or
der and the tables were draped with
ribbons and flowers. AS a greeting to
the merry dancers the Elks symbols
we're hung over the door leading into
the banqueting hall.

morning and all present voted the first
grand ball of the Elks the most sue
cessful social function ever given in

GAME BIRDS BURNED.
Fire Destroyed The Chicken Houses of
Nicholas Kohlmann Thursday Morning.

Fire Destroyed The Chicken Houses of
Nicholas Kohlmann Thursday Morning.
Nicholas Koh1mann the well known
breeder of game chickens suffered a
severe loss by fire on New Years
morning when his chicken houses on
Caledonia street were destroyed and in
them were burned a large number of
game chickens and pigeons entai1ing a
loss of from seven-hundred to thou
sand dollars with only small insur-
ance. The birds had been locked IN
the house for the night and it is sup
posed that the FIRE originated through
the explosion of gasoline stove
which had been used for heating the
building.
When the fremen arrived the
building was almost completely de-
stroyed and no chance had been offered
to. release the chickens from their
peril. The Kohlmann chickens were
famous all over the state and they
were by all measures the most va1ua BILE
game chickens in this part Of the state.
There were over a hundred birds in
the house and not one of them escap-
ed. No monetary value could be put on
those chickens as Mr.. Kohlmann had
spent years in developing the breed
and they were considered almost per-
feet. Not single one managed 10
escape from the flames.
In the second story of the building
were a large number of pigeons of
many classes and they suffered the
same fate as the chickens below them.

ter of be1ls and whistles and some of
the more exuberent spirits marched up
and down the street making the mid
night air resound with shouts of nerri-
ment and keeping up perpetual din

been a good one to Kenosha but the
New Year was so fraught with
promises of even greater future that
the welcome was made fitting
one.

A Simple Remedy Which VIII Interest

In it's earlier stage catarrh is more of a.
nuisance than menace to the general

relief, but anything like a cure can only
be obtained by treatment which removes
