fractional Fight in Republican Party Said
to Interfere with Proposed Plans for
New District In the Country.

A school fight Of considerable pro-
portions is being raised in Kenosha
county on account of the demand for
a new district school at Twin Lakes
station. The station is said to be two
and a half miles from any Of the
schools in that section of the county
and the children have for years been
forced to walk long distances in order
to get the benefits of the county
schools. AT present the children at
tend either the Bassett station school
or the school in what is known as the
McKesson district. Either district is
fully two and half miles from Twin
Lakes. The children had short cut
to school down the railway line but
the Northwestern company has noti-
fed the parents of the children that
they Will no longer be allowed to use
the railway line and the walk around
to the school is so long that IN the
winter time the children will prac-
tica11y be denied the benefit Of school
work.

notice of the town board and to the
officers of the two school districts in
terested in the erection of the new
building and the usual fight is on.
The making of new district will, of
course, take a portion Of the territory
which has in past years paid taxes to
the other districts and for this reason
both districts are prepared to make a
bitter fight to prevent the opening of
the new school. It is claimed that the
factiona1 fight in the Republican
party will also be dragged into the
school fight and that the lines for and
against the new district are being
laid down by the followers of the two
factions. The Sta1warts are in favor
of the construction of the school at
Twin Lakes and the friends of the
Governorshave opposed it.
There are now sixty-seven school
districts in the county and it has been
many years since any change in the
district lines was made. Superinten-
dent Taylor is taking no part in the
controversy and it must be settled by
the officials of the two school districts.

The present fight between Insur-
ance Commissioner Host and the
Prudential Insurance Company has
let in enough light upon the relations
between the Commissioner office and
the insurance companies to show that
the expenses of conducting the ex-
an1inations into the standing of the
companies should be paid by the state.
No matter how fair our actuary may
intend to be he cannot help being
unconscious1y influenced by the fact
that the company under examination
is paying for his work, and he should
not be placed in the position of being
more or less under obligations to a
company whose financial standing
and business methods he may be
called upon to criticize. If the state
can not afford to pay for the protec-
ton of it's citizens, it should not ask
outsiders to do it.

HAD DURKEE STOCK.
Certificates in Famous Claim OF For
mer KenOshan a Portion OF Estate
Of Late LathrOp UdeIl
IS LISTED AS "WITHOUT VALUE.

The first time that any of the GER
tifcates of stock in the famous claim
of the heirs of Charles Durkee against
the United States government have APP
peared in the local court was on
Thursday, when the final account of
the administrator of the estate of the
late Lathrop Ude11, former resident
of the town of Salem, was filed in the
county court. The deceased had held
five hundred shares of the stock in the
claim, and in the final accounting of
the estate it is given into the court as
without any value whatever.
In the general inventory of the es-
tate the 500 shares of stock are listed
as Certain certificates issued by one
John A. Kuykenda11, the value of
which is unknown The certificates
were shown in the county court. They
are beautifully embossed, and by the
terms of the agreement Kuykenda11
promises to redeem them at their par
value as soon as the case is settled
and the United States government
pays to the heirs of the estate the
amount alleged to be due.
It is thought that many of these GER
tifcates have been sold in this section
of the state. No one seems to know
just what the former Salem man paid
for the certificates, but it is stated
that they were purchased at about
twenty cents each. Kuykenda11, who
seems to be promoting the claim, has
been appointed an administrator of
the estate of Charles Durkee under the
laws of Utah, and he is making an eff
fort at the present time to have the
old fight against the United States
government reopened.
The certificates held by Ude11 were
transferred to his heirs, being divided
between the heirs of the estate.

WORK WILL GO ON.
Methodist General Conference at Los
Angeles to Take up Reforms Pro-
posed by Willis w. Cooper
CHURCH POLICY TO BE BROADER.

The eyes of all the Methodists in
Kenosha are on Los Angeles this week
on account Of the fact that the gen
era1 conference of the church is in
session there. The meeting will be
the most important in the history Of
the church, and it is expected that
many reforms in church government
will be inaugurated.
Six months ago it was expected that
the late Willis w. Cooper, of this city,
would be the leading man of the great
Methodist meeting. A report from
Los Angeles today states that the
work of Mr.. Cooper in the former con
ference, which was for the purpose Of
securing more liberal policy for the
church, will not be lost, and the pres
ent conference will probably take
some action to 1ega1ize card playing
and dancing among the Methodist
church members. Among the most
important subjects to be taken up by
the conference are the following:
What can the church do on the
liquor question? What action can the
church take to solve the race ques-
ton? Shall worldly pleasures, such
as dancing, theater-going and card
playing, be conducted by the church?
With which combatant in the war in
the orient are our sympathies? What
can be done by the church to prevent,
in the good name Of the country the
crime of 1ynching? Shall the time
raries of Methodist ministers be re-
stored? How many bishops shall be
elected and how many retired?
A proposal to consolidate the three
publishing houses Of the church in
New York, Cincinnati and Chicago
will doubtless cause spirited discus
sion in the conference, as the move
ment to combine them all in one in the
interest of economy is looked upon
with disfavor by many delegates and
it is earnestly supported by others.
For the first time in the history Of
Methodist general conferences women
delegates will have seats in the con-
ference and a voice in the direction of
church affairs

FRUIT PROSPECTS FOR 1904.

The State horticultural Society aims
to collect and disseminate informal
ton helpful to all. To this end a
system of reports has been inaugur-
ated by the secretary intended to
cover prospects for fruit crops, pre-
va1ence of destructive insects, dis
eases, etc. The following regarding
extent of winter injury to fruit and
flowers has been compiled from the
April reports: Variety of apples
killed Gano, Grimes, Golden, Pewau-
kee, Ben Davis, Baldwin and Fall
Orange. Fruit beds on standard kinds
only slightly injured. None of these
except Pewaukee have been recon-
mended by the society, and we must
now add that to list of doubtful ones.
P1ums-Native varieties reported
uninjured in every case. European
p1ums, trees badly injured and fruit
buds 90 to 100 per cent dead. Japanese
p1ums proved harder than European,
but will be a very light crop; fruit
buds reported 20 to 100 per cent killed.
Cherries suffered less than p1ums,
and are generally reported in good
condition.
Raspberries and b1ackberries were
killed to the snow line where not pro-
tected. This means short crop.
Roses were badly injured where IN
protected.
Reports received from IS counties
show less injury in northern Wiscon-
sin than in southern part, probaD bly,
due to heavier snow fall in north.

identifying q state.

Whenever I see any Of these propa-
gandas for identifying city," said
Senator Perkins Of California recently,
II always think Of the work done to
beautify the state of California by a
citizen Of Altadena, which is hard by
Pasadena The mans name is Andrew
McNally, and when he came to Cali
fOrnia there were few birds at Alta
dena, and those few were hardly what
we would call beautiful. Mentally
made up his mind that the land needed
birds, so he built him an aviary and
imported many hundreds of his feath-
cred friends. Once a year he would
open the doors of his aviary and let
the young birds fly whithersoever they
would, and in a short time the whole
country was populated with feathered
creatures of every variety of hue and
song. His example was followed by
Joseph Grinnell and Mrs. Grinnell,
both Of whom are ardent ornttholo-
gists, so that now the county around
Pasadena is a garden spot for birds of
beautiful plumage. Many of the birds
that were imported came from Japan
and China. So you see there are more
ways than one Of identifying a city or
g state"

NAVIGATION OPENS HERE.

First to Clear From Kenosha Harbor.

The season of navigation opened in
KenoshaF "wednesday evening, and the
honor of having the first vessel out of
the harbor is given to the sailing mas
ter of the schooner "Be11e." The
"Be11e" left att midnight last night
for Pine Lake, Mich. This afternoon
the schooner ''Kate Howard will
clear for the same port. Both boats
will be engaged for the season in the
wood business. It is expected that
the c1earances from the Kenosha har-
Dor this season will be few and far
between. The tannery managers have
decided to ship most of the bark used
by the big concern by rail, and there
is no reason to believe that the big
vessels utilized in the bark business
in other years will make Kenosha
their port this season.

SONG BIRDS MORE PLENTIFUL
Last Literary Meeting of Season Attracts
Many Visitors to the Club Rooms
Annual Meeting is to be May la.

The last meeting of literary ma
ture Of the Woman Club for the sea-
son Of 1903-19O4 was held at the rooms
Of the Club at the Library building
on Wednesday afternoon. It was an
open meeting, and the pretty gC1ub
rooms we're crowded with the most
prominent women of the city. The
session was devoted to the study of
the birds and their protection, and in
keeping with the subject the rooms
had been charming1y arranged.
About the rooms palms had been
placed in great profusion, while a
score of feathered songsters were
scattered about among the green
leaves of the decorations. The scene
was an exceedingly pretty one.
The subject for the afternoon was
what Birds do for U.s. The paper
was written by Mrs. o. S. Newell,
and in her absence it was read by
Mrs. Peter Fisher. In the paper
Mrs. Newell spoke of the great value
of the song birds to the people of the
country, showing the manner in
which they disposed of insects and
how they aided in destroying the
crops of noxious weeds by devouring
the seeds before they are able to take
root again. Mrs. Newell found that
every one Of the birds was "a benefit,
with the single exception of the Eng
1ish sparrow
The discussion, which was led by
Mrs. George ". Redeker, was a most
interesting one, and took up the sub
ject of disposing Of the English spar
row. The pirate of the feathered
world was discussed from every stand
point, and many plans were spoken
or as good ways in which to make a
final disposition of the bird that has
grown to be a pest. The most practi-
cal plan proposed was a generous use
of the garden hose, and it is claimed
If this is continued for several weeks
the pests may be driven out, never to
return. 1t was also shown in the dis
cussion that the best way for the
country to rid itself of the imported
pest is to poison the birds. This
method was adopted in Australia and
it is stated that an English sparrow is
rarely seen on that continent.
In the general discussion of the
birds and their treatment Miss Gill of
kemper Hall brought out the fact that
great progress had been made in bird
protection. The boy with the sling
shot still parades on his journey of
aviscide, but it is a noticeable fact
that the birds are being better pre-
served than in former years. The
teachings of the schools, the work of
the Woman's Clubs and a half dozen
societies for the protection of the
birds is beginning to have it's effect,
and the modern boy no longer kills
the songsters without pang of re-
morse.
The work started by the Club wo-
men two years ago, having in view
the tempting of song birds to Keno
sha, has had a good effect and there
are now more birds in the city than
had been in many years.
This was the last literary meeting
of the Club for the year, and the an
nua1 business meeting will be held in
the club rooms on Saturday, May IA,
and at that time new officers will be
elected and plans made for next year.

WANTS LANCASTER ARRESTED

President James of the Northwestern Ma
tional Accuses Insurance Man.
President Alfred James Of the North
western National insurance company
has written to Insurance Commission
er Host asking him to take steps to
break up ''The Wisconsin Field Club, -
which, it is charged, is composed Of
the special agents of sixty-three insur.
ance companies doing business in the
state. James has also asked for the
arrest of ]. w. Lancaster, of Mi1wau-
kee, who is the advisory member of
the Kenosha local insurance board.
The members of the c1ub.are special
agents for the Western Union compa-
mics. It is alleged that these compa-
MES, for which Lancaster is special
rater, have combined to fix the rates
for insurance in the state.
Lancaster has fixed all the rates

board has been forced to meet his
figures. Prominent agents and manu-

of evidence can be found here to prove
the charges made by Mr.. James. Ke-

development of the case with a great
