Queen Wore Tight Boots.

According to the opinion expressed
BY Philadelphia traveller, Wilhel-
NINA, queen OF Holland-one may no
longer write it little W1lhelmina -
is said to be growing very plain"
but nome has yet denied her large
share Of thurman" qualities, In proof
OF this this same traveller tells a story
which presents her in pleasing light.
1t seems that certain London photo
grapher had been sent for Ia take the
queens picture. II was the second
such commission he had received from
Amsterdam. When the sitting was
over and the plates had been devel-
oped, Wilhelmina said, delightfully."-:
"Why, this is much better picture
Of me than you took before. I wonder
why that is?"
'Your majesty has now a more
cheerful expression" ventured the art
ist- Perhaps that is what makes the
difference"
"And know why that should have
been So" added the queen, instantly.
''The last of time you we're here, re
member, I had on tight boots How can
any one look cheerful when her feet
are being pinched PIP Philadelphia

Ole District No. 2 of Town OF Somers
to Dedicate New Building Next
Week With Ceremonies.
JUDGE V. V. BARNES TO SPEAK
New Building VIII Take the Place Of First
Many Visitors Expected.

Arrangements have been completed
for the dedication of the new school
building in the town Of Somers, and
exercises of dedication will be held
on the historic spot on Saturday,
June 4. The new building for Dis
trict No. 2 is now completed and the
patrons of the district have decided
to make the dedication Of it an event
which will awaken many reminis-
cences of the early history Of the
schools of the county. In order to
have the old days recalled an invita-
ton has been sent out to all of the
former teachers and students of The
old school and many of them have
promised to be present and take part
in the dedicatory ceremonies.
Judge Vischer Y. Barnes, of Zion
City, who is now at the head Of the
Municipal court in Zion, has been
selected to deliver the address of the
day. The selection is a splendid one
as Judge Barnes was student at the
old school and later taught there for
many years.
In this connection a program will
be rendered consisting of music and
the reading of letters sent to the
school patrons by the former teachers
and students. Among the number Of
letters received is one from Lucius O..
Lee, former teacher in District No.
2, who is now missionary of the
Congregational church in Turkey.
In his letter Mr.. Lee tells many in
teresting stories in regard to the
early schools and school teachers in
Kenosha county. Congressman H
A. Cooper and United States Senator
Joseph V. Quar1es will also be invited
to attend the dedication and make a
few remarks.
The old district No. D school in
Somers which was torn down during
the last few weeks was the first frame
school building to be built in the
county, and by many it is claimed to
have been the first in Southern Wis
consir.
The site of the old building was
given by the early pioneers of the
county, and the building was first
opened in 1845. Caroline Howe Smith
was the first teacher in charge. In
the years that followed many men
who have since gained state and
national distinction have been con-
nected as students or teachers. Many
of these men have written to Super
intendent Taylor that they will come
to Kenosha to attend the dedication
exercises.
Quite a number of the former in
structors have passed to the Great
Beyond aud memorials have been pre-
pared telling of the work of the de-
ceased teachers.

No CHOICE AS YET.
Members OF Board of Education Still
in Quandary Over Election
OF Superintendent.
APPLICATIONS STILL ROLLING IN.

The Board of Education met in ad-
journed session at the city hall Tues
day night for the purpose of e1ecting
a superintendent of the schools, but
today it seems that the fight over the
selection of the right man is farther
from a settlement than ever. Mon
day the choice had been narrowed
down to M. N. NTcIver of Hudson and
G. F. LOOMS of Waupun, but this
morning there are many other app1i-
cants in the field, and another week
will be spent in considering these APP
p1ications.
The Board did absolutely nothing
Tuesday night more than to discuss
the merits of the different candidates
for the position, and while it seemed
that Mr.. McIver had a slight lead
among the members of the Board the
matter was not put to vote.
Applications have commenced to
pour in, and it appears that every
man in the country who is able to
teach school is willing to come to Ke-
nosha if the proper inducements are
offered. Among the more prominent
applications received since the last
informal meeting are: 3. S. Martin,
principal of the McMynn school in
Racine; Chas. w. Groves, of Dixon,
Ill; J. ]. Moser, superintendent of
schools at Perry, Iowa; V. R. Nc
Knight, of Spring Valley, ILL.,, and a
host of others who are now being con-
sidered by the Board. One of the
long distance applications comes from
George c. Griswo1d, who is one of the
masters of the Hackley Upper School
at Tarrytown, N. Y.
The Board will make an effort to in
vestigate the claims of all these men,
but Clerk Baker of the Board announ-
ces that settlement of the question
will be reached on Tuesday evening.
In the meantime hundreds of app1ica-
tons are being received for places on
the teaching force.

Great Meeting OF Catholic Societies in
the State to Be Held in This
City in 1905.
5000 CATHOLICS ARE TO ATTEND.
Kenosha is Selected as Next Meeting Place
of Convention of the German Catho-
lie Benevolent Societies.

con to KenoshaI" This will be the
watch word of the forty thousand
members of the German Catholic Ben
evo1ent societies in the state of Wis
consin during the coming year, as the
annual convention of the societies in
session at Manitowoc yesterday de-
cided that the next annual convention
should be held in Kenosha. The dele
gates from the Kenosha societies made
great fight for the convention. In
the race were such cities as Madison,
Marinette, Racine and La Crosse, and
after spirited contest the convention
decided to send the next meeting to
Kenosha. Marinette took her defeat
sorely and at once began to carry the
fight into the young mems societies,
alleging that the fact that Kenosha
had no young mems societies would
badly handicap the work of the con-
vention. With this claim the Mari
nette people managed to get COM
mittee appointed to further consider
the matter, but the delegates from
Kenosha have stood firm, and there is
little doubt but that the big conven-
ton will meet in this city.
The convention, which will be held
during the latter part of May, 1905,
will be the biggest gathering of any
kind ever held in Kenosha, and the
people of the city will have chance
to show the other cities of the state
that they are able to take care of a
big gathering. In the present conven-
ton there are more than three thou
sand delegates, and two thousand
members of the different societies are
present. The convention in Kenosha
will be even larger, and it is stated
that the convention will bring to Ke-
nosha fully five thousand visitors. Ali
the dignitaries of the church, inc1nd-
ing the archbishops Of the different
dioceses and their assistants, will at
tend the convention. -.
The members of the Kenosha socie-
ties have already begun to make plans
for the delegates and the big halls in
the city will be secured at once, in
order to furnish meeting places for
the different bodies.
Kenosha is becoming famous as a
city for holding religious meetings,
and during the past six months three
great church meetings have been
held in the city. The ease with
which the people of the city have
"a rod for +Lo xyic;4o+-c hos +o,odo :,
great impression on the religious
bodies and this city will undoubtedly
be popular convention city in the
future.
Another convention that may be
held in Kenosha next year, is the an
nua1 meeting of the Wisconsin State
Lodge of E1ks. Lines are now being
laid to have the convention sent to
Kenosha.

Citizens Company to Close Deal for Pur-
chase of Pleasant Prairie Line.
j. w. johnson, one of the local
managers of the Citizens Telephone
and Telegraph company, announced
this morning that the deal would be
closed today for the sale of the Pleas
ant Prairie Telephone company to the
Citizens company, and fi.aa1 payment
will be made late this afternoon.
The Citizens company in the mean
time has been busy, and has completed
a line to Winthrop Harbor. During
the next few weeks a line will be built
out into Northern Illinois, and
brought round in a circuit to connect
with the Pleasant Prairie exchange
at that point. Three car loads of
poles are now on the tracks at Pleas
ant Prairie, for use on the new lines.
tits claimed that the rural company
has found way for the vacating of
the contract with the Wisconsin COM
pany, as the agreement between the
companies provided that should the
Kenosha Telephone company sell to
some other company than the Wiscon-
sin the contract would be void.
