He HAS A NEW PLAN
Alderman Anderson Hopes to do
Away With the Necessity
of a Bond Issue.
WOULD PAY AMOUNT IN CASH

It is more than probable that the
city council will not be forced to issue
bonds to raise the SIS, 0C0 demanded
for the new Durkee school as Alder
man W. r. Anderson, who is at the
head of the finance committee of the
city council, has evolved new plan
out of the difficulty which will permit
the council to pay the demand of the
school commissioners in cash and
which will permit the city to save this
money from year to year without pay
ing the large sum that would be de-
manded for interest on the bonds.
The amount to be paid is SIS, 600
and the plan of the alderman is to pay
this in a lump sum to the Board of
Education as soon as the new tax levy
has been collected. In making the
tax 1evyrthe expenses of the city for
period of ten months will be consid-
cred and added to this levy will be
made to raise $4,000 toward the pay
ment of the new school building. AT
the end Of the ten months the city will
of course be out of money but this
money will be borrowed for term OF
two months. In the levy for succeed
ing years similar plan will be
adopted until the entire amount is
paid. In this way the city will pay
this demand and at the same time not
be forced to pay the large sum for in
terest, which would be demanded in
case of bond issue. Counting that
he city paid off $4,000 a year the in
terest on the bonds for the FIVE years
would be $3,375 and with the plan pro-
posed by Alderman Anderson in
operation the city could pay this sum
to the school board and refund it il
four years and the interest will
amount to less than $500, thus making
saving to the city of over $780,
The plan has been submitted to Mayor
German and has his complete ap.
prevail. It is also approved by the
other members of the finance COM
mittee.

Congressman Cooper and Party
in a Runaway Accident
Saturday Evening
CONGRESSMAN is INJURED.

Congressman Cooper, Hugh Reid
and M. H. Bacon had a narrow escape
from serious injury in a runaway &C
cident Saturday evening and as re-
suit the congressman will be forced
o walk with a cane for several weeks.
Mr.. Cooper and his party had attended
a political meeting at Salem and had
started to drive to Kenosha. When
they reached point two miles west
of the city the team attached to the
vehicle in which they were riding be-
came frightened at a bicycle lamp
and leaped into a ditch on the side of
the road. The three men were pin
toned under the vehicle and all of
them were more or less injured. Con-
gresham Cooper was the first one of
the party to escape from under the
vehicle and he assisted in rescuing
the other two members of the party.
Congressman Cooper had his right
leg badly wrenched and was badly
bruised by the accident. Reid and
Bacon both sustained severe injuries
about the body but all Of them were
able to continue the trip to Kenosha
| later.
AS soon as possible the aid of a
farmer was secured and the vehicle
righted, the team captured and the
trip to Kenosha began again. There
was one incident of the accident that
was little strange and that was the
fact that a small boy who had asked
to ride with the party disappeared af-
ter the mix up and has not been seen
since.
The party reached Kenosha just be-
fore o'clock and the congressman
suffered SO much from his injuries
that he was forced to have the aid of
doctor and to go to bed for half an
hour. On account of the delay the
meeting at the opera house did not
open until $50.

FIFTY YEARS WE'D.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Booth Of
the Village of Trevor CeIe-
brate Golden Wedding.
EARLY PIONEERS OF COUNTY

Saturday, Nov. 5, witnessed meet
ing Of the people of Trevor and sur
rounding villages at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. George H. Booth to
honor them on their fiftieth annivers-
airy of welded life. The gathering
was like an cold settlers reunion" as
many of the visitors were the early
pioneers of Southern Wisconsin and
Northern Illinois. The guests were
received in such cordial and heart
felt way that every one threw aside
all restraint and made themselves at
home and sought to en1iven the occa-
sion with smiles and good cheer.
While most of us look upon golden
weddings as browning glory of age,
yet, these two people, Mr.. and Mrs.
Booth, do not indicate that Father
Time has been severe master. The
three score years and ten have been
left behind and the assurance of the
present is that many anniversaries
will come and go before they are
called from their busy scenes to the
rest they have earned by well spent
life.
One remarkable event to chronicle
is that this was the second wedding
of like character in the same resi-
dence. Twenty-four years ago Mr..
Booths father celebrated his golden
wedding, and some were present on
the 5th of November who were in at
tendance at that time. Among those
present at the elder Booths ami
versary was Alex Bailey of Salem,
who is hale and hearty and but for
the four generations which he repre-
scented no one could read his real age.
These four generations were repre-
scented as follows: Alex Bailey, Mrs.
Andrew Booth, Mrs. Mabel Lubeno,
Harry Lubeno.
The list of guests and presents is
too long to record here.
Bountifu1 refreshments were served
and all pronounced the wedding as
interesting and enjoyable as though
it dated the first mile stone, instead of
fifty.
Mr.. Booth thanked his many friends
for the honor conferred upon him,
and hoped that one and ali would
some time be able to say, tThis is the
fiftieth anniversary of my marriage. "
With kind words and loving wishes
for the future welfare of Mr.. and Mrs.
Booth the merry gathering bid adieu
to each other, and the old homestead
was ready to commence it's third go1-
den review of another happy life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Booth will soon take
an extended bridal tour over the wes-
tern part of the country. They ex-
pect to spend the winter in California,
and if health permits will run down
into Mexico and visit the great plan
tations.

the new building, and within another
week the plat of ground will be Gle ar

Cream City Council of Royal League
Wins Banner From Badger Council
The Cream City Council of the
Royal League hai1ing from Mi1wau-
kee, defeated the Kenosha council of
the order in a competitive drill at the
A. 0. U. w. hall last Saturday evening
in the presence of great crowd of the
members of the order from different
parts of the state. The Kenosha coun-
Gil had won the banner in Milwaukee
and they will undoubtedly send team
to Milwaukee in the near future to
make an effort to regain the trophy.
One hundred and fifty of the mem
bers of the victorious Milwaukee
council accompanied the team to Ke-
nosha and sixty members came down
from Racine to attend the meeting.

Each team conferred the degree on
one candidate but twenty-five new
members of the order were obligated
during the evening.
Several of the national officers of
the Royal League were present and
took part in the exercises of the eve
ming.

THE JAPS AT HOME.
Mrs. Miyamori Gives a Talk on
Japan al che First Bap-
fist Church.
PRAISES WORK OF JAPAN.
Declares That the People of F1owery
Kingdom Are Anxious to Learn
New Ways of Civilization.

| Mrs. Miyamori, the dainty Japanese
| lady who has been charming Wiscon-
sin audiences with her pen pictures OF
her native land, was greeted by a
small but appreciative audience when
Monday evening she repeated her talk
at the First Baptist church. Her
husband, who accompanied her, also
addressed the audience, giving his
views on the Russo-Japanese war.
| The lecture was illustrated with
stereopticon views which admirably
supplemented the quantity worded
descriptions.
Madame Miyamori dwelt at some
length on the racial differences be-
| tween her progressive countrymen
and the unprognessive Chinese whose
civilization has made practically no
advance for the past 1000 years. She
exhibited a musical instrument which
she said illustrated the conservatism
of the Chinese and the spirit of the
/ Japanese. The instrument in ques-
/ ton has been used in China for more
than 1000 years without any attempt
being made to improve it. The Jap
anese, on the other hand, made sew
era1 important changes in it almost
Immediately after adopting it.
Another striking difference between
the two nations is the greater eager
ness for learning displayed by the
Japanese. This is especially notice
able in those who come to America
The first thought of japanese OF
either sex is to enter a college or pre-.
! paratory school, while the Chinaman' s
! ambition is to open laundry. If he
does enter school it is only to acquire
such documentary knowledge as will
enable him to speak the few words OF
English necessary to carry on his
| business.
| The best features of American an(
| European civilization have been in
corporated into the daily life of ia
pan. Railroads, the telegraph, the
telephone, and even automobiles, arr
almost as numerous as in this coun
try.
| Madame Miyamori paid pretty
compliment to the charms of the all
conquering American girl by saying
that she had seen none but beautiful
women since she came to this country
| five years ago to enter an American
institution Of learning.
Pictures of some of the finest
streets in the larger cities of Japar
were shown as we'll as some of the
beautiful gardens for whiGh the coun
try is justly famous.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Miyamori are tht
possessors of fine voices which they
used in splendid effect in singing thei
native songs and Chinese airs. Se1ec
tions breathing martial spirit wer
interspersed with love ditties of tn,
F1owery kingdom, in a manner mos
pleasing to the audience.
