NAME MISS GRAVES.
Former kenosha High School
Girl to Have Chair Of
Mathematics.
WELL FITTED FOR POSITION.

The corps of teachers for the High
School for the year 1904-1905 was COM
p1eted last night when the teachers
committee of the board of education
selected Miss Cora Graves to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Miss Nancy Jennisen as teacher of
mathematics in the High School. On
account of the short time in which to
secure a teacher the committee had
been given power to act in the matter
and the action will undoubtedly be
ratified by the board at the regular
meeting a week from next Tuesday
evening.
Miss Graves has been notified of
her election to the position and it is
proba bic that she will accept the
offer. She will receive a salary of
500 year.
Miss Graves is a typical Kenosha
girl and her selection as teacher of
mathematics in the High.schoo1 is one
that will meet with approval from the
patrons of the High school. The new
ISdCIlGI WdS d mOuDGI OIL L0G CLASS OF
1900 at the High school and CATER
leaving the High schoo1sshe ssentered
the Oshkosh Normal where she pre-
pared for her work as teacher by
taking full course of study. She
completed the four years course in
three years and graduated with the
honors of her class, of 1908. When
she left the Normal she was elected to
have charge of the work in mathema-
tics in the High school at Phillips
Wis, and she remained there during
the year just passed. She was re-
elected at Phillips but was afterward
called to take the same chair in the
school at Ironwood, Mich, rated as
the second best school in the United
States. She has now asked the Iron
wood schools to release her from her
contract in order that she may accept
the position in her home city.
Miss Graves received the highest
possible recommendations from the
Statesdepartment and from the off Gals
of the schools at Phillips and from the
Oshkosh Normal.

Father John of Cronstadt.

Father John of Cronstadt, who has
prophesied that the war against Japan
will continue for twenty-five years, is
really Rev. John Sergieff, one of the
priests Of st. Andrews cathedral in
the famous fortress city. After the
car, he is, and has been for years, the
greatest man in Russia, by virtue of
the piety and reputed power of heal
ing. People Of the highest rank, as
we'll as the poorest peasants, go to him
for help. He was summoned to the
deathbed Of Emperor Alexander, and
when the present car was stricken
with typhoid in Livada public opinion
required the imperial doctors ta&be re-
inforced by Father Johns healing
touch.

OBITUARY.

Sarah Belle Price, beloved daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Price,
died at her home in Paris about 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Aug. %,
of tuberculosis. She had been able
to be about her home until Monday,
Aug. s, when she was seized with
hemorrhages, from which she never
rallied.
The funeral was held from the Paris
Corners church Friday afternoon,
and interment was in the cemetery
adjoining.
The death of Miss Sarah Price is
especially sad, as she was one of the
best known young ladies in the neigh
borhood and beloved for her many
noble traits of character. Indus
trious to marked degree, and of a
quiet, loving disposition she had en-
deared herself to all who knew her.
Miss Price was the third daughter
of a family of eight children, and is
survived by her parents and four sis
ters and two brothers.

Fake Coal Agents Invade kenosha
and Manage to Get a Little
Easy Money.
CONTRACTS, BUT NO COAL.
Home of "Easy Mark" Again Invaded
and Good Money is Secured by
Bold Swind1ers.

Kenosha certainly deserves the rep
utation of being the home of the easy
mark, for today it is discovered that
band of smooth swind1ers has been
working a game as old as the hills in
the city and has made it stick. 1t
was the old bait of something for
nothing, and from reports that are
being received at the coal yards the
swindlers made the game stick to the
tune of several hundred dollars in the
city.
Of course their stay in Kenosha
was of exceedingly brief duration,
but the game worked SO well that it is
more than probable that they will re-
turn to work it again, and the expert
ence of the first victims may serve as
warning to prevent the game being
worked on the second batch.
The men had the old game of selling
something far below the market price
and as the winter was coming on and
the worlxingman had no money to
waste, they decided that coal would
be good thing to sell. So with
sample of as pretty coal as could be
found between Buffalo and Kenosha
the three men made the rounds of the
western part of the city. They stated
that they had formed a cooperative
company in Kenosha and were able'to
supply coal at rates so low that John
O'Donrel1 and Peter Fisher would be
forced to go to the poor house, and
that the coal they were selling was
just little better than any that had
ever been sent into Kenosha. The
samples were shown and the price
per ton for anthracite was placed at
five dollars, while the soft varieties
of the black diamond product could
be purchased at any old price from
dollar ton up. It was tempting
bait and not few of the people after
looking at the samples and the men
decided to invest. The men did not
ask that the customers settle for the
coal in advance, but they limited that
in order to get their share it would be
necessary for them to put up little
money as an eV1Q0nC0 Oh SOOu
faith.'' In some cases it was dollar
and in others FIVE or ten. 1t all de-
pended on the size of the order.
All of this occurred some three
weeks ago, and although the coal was
to have been delivered this week, not
load of it has been seen on the
streets of the city, and there is lin
gering suspicion that it never will be
seen. Coal is worth $3.50 a ton and it
is just as good as money in the bank
at that price, so that there is no rea-
son to believe that the men pedd1ing
it at little over half this rate will
deliver it.
The Kenosha coal merchants, like
the merchants in every other line of
| business, sell coal at the lowest mar
ket value, and it's pretty good plan
to buy the coal from them and let
the outsider, who is a swind1er nine
times out of ten, get your neighbor.

COAL TAKES A JUMP.

Anthracite Coal SITS a Ton"
This was the pleasing notice that
greeted the eyes of prospective coal
buyers when they went to the differ
ent coal yards in the city this morn
ing, and the men who have not coal
bins filled with the black diamonds
will have to dig little deeper. The
increase in price had been prophesied
several weeks ago, and for this reason
many of the large consumers bought
their coal early and saved the quarter
on the ton. It is now probable that
there will be no change in the price
of anthrac cite, and that SITS will be
the price for the coming winter.

NEW CHANCE FOR KENosHA.

Play in This City Sept. %.
The manager of the Sheboygan base
ball team which claims the state
championship was in Kenosha today
and an arrangement was made for a
game with the Kenosha team on the
Central park diamond on September
%. AS the Sheboygan team has de-
feated the Racine team it is now the
undisputed champion team and Mana
ger Breen believes that if Kenosha
can defeat SheDoygan she can yet get
a chance to land the championship.
The Racine team has refused to give
Kenosha another series but should
Kenosha win from Sheboygan she
would have faint claim to the state
honors and it might be possible to
force the Racine team to come to the
front again.

PRAIRIE TO BE LIGHTED
Powder Company to Supply Lights to
People of Pleasant Prairie.

People of Pleasant Prairie.
Pleasant Prairie is to be the first
village in the county to have electric
lights for streets and residence light
ing. The village will not build a
plant of its own, but the officials of
the Lafin-Rand Powder company
have finally listened to the appeals of
the people Of the village and wire is
to connect Pleasant Prairie with the
big electric lighting plant Of the
powder company. Several houses in
the village have already been wired
for lights and it is probable that ar
engagements for street lights will be
made by the village board in few
days. The plant at the powder mill
is sufficiently large to furnish accom-
modations for all the people of the
village.

Strenuous Life or the Mikado.

Up at in the morning for an early
ride, there is none of the traditional
oriental laziness about Mutsuhito, mi
kado of Japan. More than any other
one man, to him Japan owes her re-
genera ton. He is a great reader, par
ticularly Of periodical literature, and
keeps not only up to date, but little
ahead of modern progress. His great
est work has been the raising of wom-
en- in Japan to something resembling
the status she occupies in the west.
The empress is the first mikado's wife
who ever sat at the table with her hus-
band.
