Twenty-one years ago the Modern

state officials were here to have charge
of the ceremony.
A six course dinner was served after
which w. ]. Craney introduced the
Hon. Judge E. B. Beiden, of Racine,
who acted as POSTMASTER for the ban.
quet. In accepting the honor confer.
red upon him Judge Belden spoke of
the great good that had been done by
the Woodmen ia Wisconsin and spoke
in highest terms of the glories of the
order. He introduced Attorney Calvin
Stewart who responded to the toast
"Our Anniversary. Mr.. Stewart in
an eloquent manner told of the things
that had been accomplished by the
Woodmen during the twenty-o one years
that they had been in Kenosha and
spoke of the many good results that
had come from the work of the camp.
Charles c. Brown of the First Nation
al Bank responded to the toast "Our
Pioneers" speaking at length on the
men who had formed the order in Ke.
nosha. He told of the early days of
woodcraft in Kenosha and the great
advancement that had been made by
the camp during its twenty one years
of life. Of course there was toast to
the ladies and Conrad Shearer of the
Milwaukee Normal. toasted "The Roy
al Neighbors." He spoke of the charm
that the ladies had added to the work
of the order and found in their work
one of the great induces of the sue
cess Of the order. James Cavanagh
spoke from the topic "Fraternity"
telling of the beauties of brotherly
love as shown in the camps of the
Woodmen in the different parts of the
country. Johnson Jackson in hum

Members Of kenosha Hospital Elect
Well Known Lady to Succeed
Late Charles F. Cooper.
TWO NEW DIRECTORS ELECTED
George A. Yule and Frank H. Truax se-
lected to Eli Vacancies In the Direc-
torate OF the Association.

AT the regular monthly meeting Of
the Kenosha Hospital association held
on Tuesday evening Mrs. O. S. Newell,
of Prairie avenue, was elected presi.
dent of the association to fill the va
cancy left by the death of the late
Charles F. Cooper. George A. Yule
and Frank H. Truax were elected di-
rectors of the association to fill vacan-
cies on the board. No other business
of importance was transacted more
than that the association, by a unani-
nous vote, expressed the sympathy of
the association to the family of the
deceased president and the secretary
was ordered to send letter to the
members of the family and the same
will be spread on the minutes of the
association.
The election of Mrs. Newell as pres
ident of the association means much
for the future Of the hospital. Mrs.
Newell is better equipped to serve in
this capacity than ANY other person in
this city. Her long experience in hos
pital work and her great interest in the
suffering make her pre-eminently fitted
for the Office. Since the organization
of the hospital association Mrs. Newell
has given her time and money to pro-
mote the work. She was member of
the building committee in charge of
the purchase of the building to be used
for the hospital and she was largely
responsible for the splendid equipment
of the building. When the association
was first formed Mrs. Newell was
urged to accept the presidency Of the
association but at that time she
thought that it would be wise for the
Office to be placed in the hands Of Mr..
Cooper. There is no doubt but that
she will accept the trust that has been
placed upon her.
Mrs. Newell has been closely con-
nected with the large hospitals of Chi
cago and her ideas of hospital work
will greatly aid in making the. Keno
sha institution a success. For some
time the Presbyterian Hospital in Chi
cago has been one of the chief chart
ties of Mrs. Newell. She has fitted up
a room in the hospital and, has taken
the greatest interest in the work of
the institution.
Mrs. Newell will not make any
change in the plans laid down by Mr..
Cooper for the conduct of the hospital.
The reports of the Officials of the
institution show that it is daily gain
ing strength and influence. The de-
mand for a hospital in Kenosha has
been shown to be even greater than
was expressed before the institution
was opened. Ever since the hospital
was opened is has been pretty well fill
ed with patients and it thought that
in short time the institution will
prove self supporting.

Board OF Education Decides to Build a
New Ten Room Building on Site
Of the Durkee School.
MANY CHANGES FOR TEACHERS
Salaries Are Increased and New Teachers
Are Employed. New Building to Be
Rushed to Completion.


which will add much to the advantages
OF that portion of the city, for at the
meeting of the Board of Education
Tuesday night the Board decided, by a
unanimous vote, to erect a ten room
building on that site. The Board had
many reasons for their action. The
committee showed that it would be
folly to erect small building on &C.
count of the fact that all the buildings
in that section Of the city were now
crowded and that the steady increase
in the number of scholars would make
1t almost impossible for the schools TO
hold them next year.
Added to this fact the growth of the
High school is rapidly demand
ing the use of the Central build
ing for High school pupils and it will
be necessary next year to remove sew
eral of the grade rooms from the Cen
trail building. The plans presented by
Architect Gaastra for a ten room
building we're approved by the Board
and no time will be lost in securing
bids for the work. It is the plan of
the building committee to accept bids
within the next two weeks and the
new structure is expected to start
about the first of May. In this man
ner it is hoped that the building can
be fully completed before the first of
September next year.
The cost of the building will be in
the neighborhood of twenty FIVE thous-
and dollars and the Board believes that
the funds for the payment of the work
can be raised without serious strain on
the finances of the city. With the
seven thousand dollars appropriated
this year and the six thousand dollars
saved from the running expenses of
the schools one-half of the amount can
be paid at once and arrangements will
be made to carry the other indebted
ness until another year. Blue prints
of the new building will be made at
once and sketches of it will be pub
lished in the city papers in the near
future.
The teachers committee made a re-
port to the Board in which it recon-
mended that the salary of Miss Keat-
ing be increased to sixty dollars a
month with the understanding that she
give such aid as is needed in prepar.
ing the pupils of the schools for the diff
ferent dramatic entertainments during
the year. The salary of Miss Butcher
was increased two dollars month and
Miss Washburn was allowed an extra
payment to the amount of 500 for her
added work during the rush at the
Deming school. Miss May Cook was
employed as primary teacher with
salary of fifty dollars month.
The Board authorized the purchase
of two hundred supplementary readers
and they will be added to the library
of the schools at once. After the al
1owance Of number of bills the Board
adjourned to meet on Tuedsay, Jan.
20, to open bids for the new building.

The men who are interested in road
Improvement, and that takes in pretty
nearly everybody in the county, should
have some kind of Good Roads Asso-
citation. A splendid opportunity to
take the preliminary steps toward the
formation of such an association will
be offered at either or both of the
farmers institutes to be held in the
county the last of the month. The
value of farm land depends to great
extent upon its accessibility to a
market, and in localities where large
sums have been expended in putting
the highways in first class condition
1t has been found that the increase in
value of the land has more than ,aid
for the improvements. There is 40
apparent reason why the proposition
should not work out the same way In

Of the county began 70 give this ques-
ton of road improvement serious con-
