Chief of Police Orders Arrest of
Boys Of School Age Who
Neglect School.
THE LAWS MUST BE oBEYED

Compulsory education in Kenosha
is the latest thing brought about by
the police force of the city, and the
boys and girls of school age will either
attend school or their parents must
take the blame for this neglect of
school duty.
Wednesday the chief Of the police
department issued an order to the
officers under his charge that the
boys of school age will not be permit
ted to loaf on the streets during school
hours. The first example wassmade
late Wednesday afternoon, when,Of-
Ger Dunnebacke took small boy
from the Eiche1man House. bowling
alleys and trotted him off to school.
For some time repeated complaints
have been made to the police by the
various school teachers in the city
that boys between the ages of ten and
fourteen had been ''playing'hookey."
In few cases this fact had been
known to the parents Of the truants
and they had entirely ignored their
duties toward their children, and had
by their silence consented to them re-
naming away from school.
1t is claimed that for some time
more than score of these youngsters
have been playing truant from school
and they have been gathering at the
bowling alleys where they are sup
posed to act as pin boys. This gath
ering of the boys was in many cases
not known to the managers of the al
legs, as the boys carried a key and
went to them in the ear1ySmorning
and spent the entire day sreading
trashy novels and smoking cigarettes.
The attention of the state factory
inspector has been called to the fact
that boys under the legal age have
been employed as pin boys in the Ke-
nosha alleys, and it is expected that
one of the inspectors will visit Keno
Sha in the next few weeks and see to
it that men so employing these boys
are held to answer before the law.
The public schools are not only af-
fected by the ruling of the police, but
the order will also be applied to the
boys attending the private schools in
the city. 1t is alleged that there are
more than hundred boys of school
age who loaf about the city when they
should be at school, and the police
will see to it that they are forced to
attend school.

Members of Park Ave. Congrega-
ton Again Considering
Building Plans.
IT WILL COST OVER $40, 900.
Trustees are Ready to Order the Work
on the New Structure as Soon as
Subscriptions are Received.

The members of the Park Avenue
NJ. r. church congregation are maxi
ing a new effort to secure the build
ing of a new church for the congre-
cation, and to this end a general call
has been issued to the members of the
church for the raising of the fund for
the new church building. Several
months ago, before the death of the
late Willis w. Cooper, the members of
the board of trustees of the church
started plans for the erection of new
church. The architects plans were
prepared and all arrangements had
been made to start the work on the
church during the present year. Mr..
Cooper had taken the lead in the en-
terprise and he had promised to see to
it that the fund for the new building
was raised. At that time it was
planned to build church costing in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
After the death of Mr.. Cooper the
members decided to defer the building
of the church for year, and now the
trustees have taken up the matter
again and it is thought that the plans
for the new church will be matured
within few weeks. The rapid
growth of the congregation and the
societies allied with it has made the
new building necessity.
1t was originally planned that the
new building should be built on site
in the western part of the city, but
this plan will not be carried out and
it is probable that the new church will
be on the site occupied by the present
edifce.
According to the plans that have
been made the new structure will be
of brick and of the most modern plan.
It will cost in the neighborhood of
$50, 900 and the trustees now have high
hopes that they will be able to COM
p1ete it before Thanksgiving day of
1905.
The pastor of the church, the Rev.
w. w. Stevens, is working hard for
the success of the enterprise and he is
now receiving the subscriptions for
the church building. The plan on
which the subscriptions are being re-
ceived is that one-third of the SUBJ
scription be paid when the trustees
decide to begin the-work. A second
payment of third in six months, and
the third payment at the end of the
year. The members of Park Avenue
M. E. church are intensely loyal to
their church, and there is no doubt
but that the money needed for the
new building will be raised.

Judge Be1den Gives Joe Skotski an In
deterninate Sentence.
Joe Skotski, who was arrested on
Wednesday on charge of committing
an assault on J. F. McGraw, brake
man on the Northwestern railway,
was taken before Judge Be1den in the
circuit court this morning and sem
fenced to an indeterminate sentence
Of from one to three years in the state
reformatory at Green Bay. Skotski
was not arraigned on charge Of as
sau1t but was brought before the
court to answer to a parole which had
been granted to him short time ago.
In sentencing Skotski the judge did
not refer in particular to the latest
charge brought against him but the
sentence was passed on account of the
former charge. Skotski will probably
be taken to Green Bay tomorrow.
Gustav Huff, who was arrested on the
same charge, had a preliminary hear
ing before Justice McCarron yester-
day and the case was continued for
ten days. George Fack, the other
member of the trio, was found guilty
Of assault and battery in the court of
Justice McCarron this morning and

ACTION is APPROVED
Board of Education Follows the
Action of Committee asto
HammiII's Resignation
HOOKING NAMED PRINCIPAL.

The board of education last night
approved the action of the teachers
committee in the acceptance of the
resignation of w. J. Hamni11 formerly
principal of the High school. The
further action of the board in recon-
mending the selection of w. }. Hook
ing as principal of the High school
was also approved and the board in
structed the teachers committee and
the superintendent to secure man
to take the place of Mr.. Hooking.
The salary limit for the new teacher
has already received large number
of applications for the position but as
yet none of these has been accepted.
It is understood that Mr.. Barber who
is now helping the board out at the
High school is unwilling to accept
the position unless a salary of a
thousand dollars year goes with it.
The action of the board on these
important matters was not taken
without debate and many of the
AAAO@hOOAS vi tic OOdld l1C1o CA1dC lAO
committee had over stepped it's powers
in accepting the resignation of Mr..
Hamrni11. Notwithstanding this fact
the report of the committee was ac-
copied and adopted and the incident
is officially closed.
The committee in charge of the new
Durkee building reported progress
and it is announced that the company
having the contract for the heating
plant at the building will come to Ke-
nosha the latter part Of this week to
complete the work of Installing the
plant
The schools of the city are to have
plenty of telephones, as the superin-
tendent has received a proposition
from the Citizens company offering
to place the Citizens phones in every
building in the city free of charge. It
is more than probable that the offer
will be accepted.
The schools are already supplied
with the phones of the Wisconsin
company.

SAGER IN ST. LOUIS.
Former Kenosha Boy Named to
Succeed Joseph Folk
by Large Majority.
TO CONTINUE WAR ON CRAFT.
From Thursdays Daily

Arthur N. Sager, formerly foot
ball idol among the people of Keno
sha, has been elected district attorney
of ST. Louis county, Mo-, to succeed
Joseph w. Folk the great reformer
who has just been elected governor
of that southern state. Mr.. Sager
ran on the Republican ticket and few
people thought that he would be
able to stem the tide of Democracy
and secure an election but the re-
turns show that he has gained tre-
mendous personal victory and while
Democrats have been elected to some
of the Offices in the county the former
Kenosha boy is elected by a plurality
of more than $500. Many Kenosha
people today sent messages of con-
graduation to Mr.. Sager and his vic
tory is certainly cause for enthusi-
assn in his native city.
Last night after he was given as
surances that he had been elected to
succeed Mr.. Folk, Sager gave to the
press signed interview in which he

any way interfere with the fight
against graft in Missouri and in ST.
Louis county. In his first official
communication to the voters he
pledged himself to carry forward the
work that had been started by Folk
and to see to it that the grafters were
driven from ST. Louis.
Mr.. Sager is young man and has
been in ST. Louis less than ten years.
He is son of Captain George Sager,
formerly one Of the best known men
in Kenosha. Mr.. Sager was educated
at Princeton and completed his study
of law in the law school of DePauw
university in Indiana and graduated
with high nonors in 1894, and after
short stop IN his old home IN Kenosha
he went to st. Louis where he was
admitted to the bar and has been
practicing law there ever since. It is
claimed that Sager is one of the most
popu1arof the younger Republicans of
the state and he is being spoken of as
a possible candidate for the United
States senate if the Republicans con-
troll the legislature of Missouri.

POLO LEAGUE FORMED.
EN- braces FiveCities Including Racine,
Milwaukee, Kenosha and Chicago.

Racine is to have good polo games
the coming winter. Polo is the favor
tie winter game in this city and there
are large number of enthusiastic
followers Of the sport who will be in
terested in the announcement that a
league is now practically formed and
that practice games are being held.
Kenosha is to take part in the pro-
gram as now arranged and there prom
ises to be considerable rivalry be-
tween the two cities. Chicago, Wau-
kegan and Milwaukee will have a
membership in the new league also
and each city will put up a strong
team. The games in this city will be
played in the Lakeside auditorium
which is fully equi ped for the pur-
pose.
It had been hoped that the Horlick
Food company would enter team in
the western polo league this season,
but it is said that they are too busy to
take charge of the undertaking this
season. Next season, however, there
is a possibility of that company COM
ing into the field with one of the fast
est teams in~the western polo world
and the new league formed for this
season will aid in stimulating the in
terest for what may be brought about

Busy Mr.. Jordan.

Horny Jordan, the postmaster at
Dunn, Tenn, who is missing, it now
developes, was man ofmany parts. He
was merchant, postmaster, preacher,
Treasurer of the Southern Advertising &
Mailing Company at Dunn, Tenn, and
last but not least, was the Southern
Astrological Institute" all by himself at
the same place.
Both OF these institutions were dis
covered a few days ago when a postoffice
inspector came down TO look into the
postoffice Affairs, through magnificent
line Of letter heads and advertising mat
ter which was found. The stationery was
printed by New York house and 1t Is
said that the astrological institute has
branch In that city. The modest fee Of
$5 is all that this Institution charged to
make q. complete horoscope and life
reading; for tkesfnsll sum Of 81 a one
year reading was given. The institution
guaranteed to tell everything that may
concern the life ola person.
Jordan seems to have had many SUBJ
jects, though only few letters could be
found. One lady In Pennsylvania sent in
the fee to have life reading, after hay
Ing had, as q preliminary test, the pro.
lessor answer which of Ave suitors she
should marry. She was widsw and ex-
pressed herself as entirely satisfied with
his answer.
No correspondence or circular was
found throwing any light on the South
ern Advertising Coinpany's business.
The stationery was engraved with the
company name. "Robert L. Bailey,
President; Horny Jordan Treasurer:
Nora e. Jordan, Secretary" Nora E.
Jordan is his wife; Bailey is not known
here.
Claims continue to come in against
the stock Of goods sold by Jordan to
W. ]. Rhodes, and he, 1t seems, had
failed to pay off all Of tue hands, as
Superintendent of one of the Mt. Plea

claimed that they sent him a check each
week to do so.
His postmaster's bond, it appears, was
made by Sol Durrett and William Rich
ardson, and was prepared and executed
before NJ, NJ. Powell, Justice of the
Peace, but both Durret and Richardson
deny executing the bond and NJ. NJ.
Powell says he did not have anything to
