GETS HEAVY SENTENCE.
Young italian Charged With Petty Larceny
Sent to the State Retormatory.

Young Italian Charged With Petty Larceny
Sent to the State Retormatory.
Dominick Petrach, fifteen year old
Italian boy, will pay heavy penalty
for his love for base bali and the
things that go with it. Monday night
he was sentenced to the state reforma-
tory by Justice Sturges and he will re-
main there until he is twenty-one
years of age.
The boy, whom his father claims is
incorrigible, was arrested on charge
of breaking into the old building on
the Y. M. C. "A. athletic field and steal
ing base ball mask, number of bats
and several base ball uniforms. He
admitted that he was guilty of the
charge and made no effort to defend
himself. It was the first time that the
boy had ever been arrested, but as his
mother, as we'll as brothers and sisters,
are still in Italy and the father was
unable to take care of him the court
decided that he would be better off in
the reformatory. He was taken to the
reformatory this morning.

LONG VACATIONS END.
Schools Begin to Open For winter Term
College OF Commerce shows Increase.


Ce1Jsge OF Commerce Shows Increase.
The long vacation for the school
boys and girls ia Kenosha is rapidly
nearing the end, and in another fort
night the schools Of the city will all
be reopened for the fail term. The
city schools will open two weeks from
today while the parochial schools in
different parts Of the city will open
earlier Ia the month. The first of the
schools to open was the College of
Commerce which opened for the year
this morning.
The cisy schools open under the most
auspicscas circumstances and bright
prospects for the year are in evidence.
The enrolment at the College Of
Commerce for the term as shown
today was above sixty, the largest en-
'ro1lmeat ever known for the first day
Of the term. The enrolment for last
yea at the same time was only fifty,
the enrolment this year showing an
increase of over twenty per cent.
It is evident that the College of
Commerceis rapidly gaining prestige
in all parts Of the state as the students
come from all over Wisconsin for the
fall term. Every town N the county
is represented, and delegations are
here from Waukegan, Burlington,
Harvard, Genoa Junction and Racine.
Nearly all the students entering this
morning are new students who are
registering for the first time. A num-
Der of the old students have returned
for work and it is expected that more
of them will enter during the next few
weeks. It is expected that the attend
ance at the college will reach the one
hundred mark before the close of the
first term and the attendance at the
spring and summer terms for next
year will be largely in excess of this
number.
Many changes have been made at
the college during the vacation. The
building which was opened new last
season has been improved upon and
the large amount of equipment added,
makes the college one Of the most
complete in Wisconsin if rot in the
west. Only one change has been made
in the faculty and that is the coming
Iof Miss Lane to take the place of Mrs,
Trenary at the head of the department
of stenography.
The boys who have returned tc
school reid a reunion over at the Y
NJ. G. A. rooms this afternoon and are
making arrangements for the re
orga IMITATION of the different teams
connected with the college. Steps
have been taken to form foot bal
team and the basket ball five will bt
in the field for practice within another
week. The bowling team will also bs
ready to meet all Corners as soon al
| the season opens.

ROBERTS HAS THE LAST WORD.

To THE EDITOR:
Criticisms of the Old Settlers Club,
because of the change of the date Of
the annual reunion, are proved to be
useless and noisome. The 10th of
August, the day Of the old settlers
meeting, was the ideal day of 1908.
It's equal has not been seen in the
current year, and if it could have been
made to order, it could have been made
no lovlier. Thursday, the 9th, was
the official day for the annual picnic,
that being the last Thursday IN
August. Had that day been announc-
ed, the muddy roads and morning rain
would have made the gathering sorry
fearful failure. The bylaws Of the
Club provide, the officers may change
the date for reason. The great gath
ering at Paddock's Lake on the 10th,
showed the people were glad of an
opportunity to listen to the governor
Of the great state of Wisconsin, and
the factional politicians failed to de-
feat his coming.
Yours truly,
r. f. ROBERTS,
Secretary.

Chicago Prognosticators Declare That the

are now predicting the downfall of the
Interstate League, and it is written in
big type that the league will not be
in existence for another season. The
eight clubs in the league have all spent
considerable money in securing play
ers and the result is not all that was
expected. With the exception of the
Aurora and Sycamore teams, little
money has been made by the team
managers and most Of the managers
seem to be of the opinion that they
could make more money playing inIe-
pendently.
Barring accidents, the pennant will
go to the Sycamore team and the
Racine team will finish in second
place. About eight more games will
be played, but there is scarcely any
chance to change the relative position
of the teams.
There is little reason to hope that the
Kenosha team will finish among the
first four, and if she does she will have
to play much better game than in the
past few weeks.

TOUCH OF A VANISHED HAND.

We sigh for the touch of a vanished hand
The hand of a friend most dear,
Who has passed from our side to the
shadowy land
But what of the hand that Is near?
To the living's touch is the soul inert
That weeps DER the silent urn?
For the love that lives is our hand alert
To make some sweet return?
Do We answer back in fretful tone
When life's duties press us sore?
Is our praise as full as il they were gone,
And could hear our praise no more?
AS the days go by. are our hands more
swift
For a tri1e beyond their share,
Than to grasp-for a kindly helpful life
The burden some one must bear?
We sigh for the touch of vanished hand,
And We think ourselves sincere:
But what of the friends that about US
stand.
And the touch Of the hand that's here?
