PROTEST TO STATE
School Patrons Of the Town of
Somers Claim Children are
Denied Privileges.
WANT CITY TUITION PAID

After years of efforts to obtain bet
ter school privileges for their children
thirty-five residents of the town of
Somers have sent a protest to the
state superintendent asking that he
take immediate steps to provide school
facilities for these children during
the coming year.
The children are the members of
families residing on the outskirts Of
Kenosha, Iand as the territory is not
part of the city they are not permitted
to send their children to the schools
of the city without paying for the
tuition. On the other hand the near
est school in the town of Somers is
fully three miles from the homes. Eff
forts have been made to have the dis
tricts in Somers build school nearer
the city limits but they have declined
to do this. 1t is claimed that there is
no chance for the territory to be
brought into the city and on account
of these many troubles nearly all the
children are being kept away from
school. The state law provides that
all children in the state shall go to
school if there is a school building
within two miles of their homes, and
the law will not apply to this section.
In their petition to the state depart
ment the people have not asked for
any specific relief but insist that the
state should either take action to have
a school built within two miles of the
homes of the children or else make
some arrangements whereby the
tuition of the children IN the Kenosha
schools can be paid by the state.
The problem has been one that has
confronted the. county superintendent
for many months but he is not able to
furnish an solution. 1t has been sug-
gested that the pupils be transported
in buses to the Somers' school, but
the people interested are unwilling to
pay the cost of transportation and
this must be left for the state to pay.
1t is the purpose Of the people to find
some way out of the difficulty before
the opening of the new school year.

Soners.

One Of the saddest accidents which
ever occurred i'll Somers was that Of
James Jensen, who was struck by the
8 O'clock south bound passenger train
Friday evening and instantly killed.
He, with his brother Christ, were
crossing the G. M. & St. p, track on
the county line road with their engine
and hay press when the engine came
unconp1ed from the hay press, and as
they saw the approaching passenger
train James ran to flag it and in some
way failed to get off the track. James
was an onestnpright young man, re-
spected by all who knew him and his
untin1ely death has cast gloom upon
the entire community. He leaves a
father, mother, brother and five sis
tiers to mourn his death. The funeral
services were held from his late home
Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev.
McNarry and the Danish pastor from
Racine. A large concourse Of sym
pathising friends followed the re-
mains to lakewood.

TO LIVE STOCK
GROWERS.

Bulletin, No. ia, entitled "a Les
son in Bovine tuberculosis, issued
by the Wisconsin Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station, is one of great i'm
portance to every grower of live stock.
1t treats especially of the way in
which the disease is introduced into
herds through the purchase of stock
which may show no physical sym
ptoms of the disease, and yet react to
the tubercu1in test. An actual in
stance is cited where herd was sold
at public auction, and of the forty-one
animals thus disposed of, thirty-one
were found to react to the tubercu1in
test.
Copies Of this bulletin will be sent
to residents of Wisconsin, free of
charge, upon receipt of postal card
giving the address. Non-residents
should enclose a two-cent stamp to
pay cost mailing. Send all commun-
ications to Agricultural Experiment
Station, Madison, Wis.

There was little of interest to the
people of the city at the meeting of
the board The committee on build
ings and grounds reported that many
repairs were needed in the different
buildings of the city, and the work
will be done by the members of the
committee without further action on
the part of the board. The repairs
will cost in the neighborhood of 81, 400.
The matter of opening an Office for the
city superintendent was taken up, and
it was decided to lease a room in the
Benedict and Tarbe11 building at an
annual rental of 500. This is the same
room used by Former Superintendent
G. r. Mcdowell. It will be fitted up
for the use of Mr.. Zimmers at once.
Bios for supplies for the coming
year we're received from number of
dealers, and the matter was referred
to the committee on supplies, and the
contract will be let to the lowest bid
der. ]. A. Pitts was the only local
bidder. The committee on supplies
asked for further time, to secure bids
for the coal supply, and this matter
will be taken up at special meeting
of the board on next Tuesday evening.
Several letters were received from
Chicago companies seeking to pur-
chase the school bonds issued by the
city, and it is evident that these bonds
will not go begging.
The usual routine business was
taken up, and in this line the only
matter of interest was the allowance
of $4, 500 to Stewart and Peters, the
general contractors in charge of the
erection of the Durkee building.
The board will meet on next Tues
day evening to take up the teachers
question and make contract for the
coal supply for next year.

WAR STARTS AGAIN
People Of Pleasant Prairie Start Fight
to Get Rid of the Slot Machine

The people of Pleasant Prairie have
machines now doing a thriving bust
ness in that portion Of the county,
and this afternoon Justice Sturges
issued a warrant giving Sheriff Timne
the right to search the Lake Side re-
sort of Michael Steinbach at Truesde1
and confscate slot machine which it
is alleged is working overtime in the
resort. For some time, it is claimed,
the slot machines have been creeping
back into business IN KenOsha county,
and the matter has been brought to
the notice of the district attorney, and
he has been urged to eliminate them
with all speed. The first complaint to
be made was against the Steinbach
resort, and Sheriff Timme went to the
resort to stop the machine this after
noon. If the machine is found IN OPP
GRAFTON it will be confscated, and
Steinbach will be arrested OF a charge
of violating the laws against gamb-
ling. It is alleged that there are no
less than fifty of these machines
working in the different resorts of the
county, and an effort will be made to
suppress the evil in all parts of the
county.
It has been two years since the
ma chimes we're ordered out in the
resort districts and some of the saloon
men in the district have put in costly
machines. It is alleged that these
ma chimes have been doing a great
deal of business and it is claimed that
hundreds Of dollars finds its way into
the machines every month. Of course
they are built onGa principle which
makes them win for the house and
the man who plays them has no posi-
BILE chance of ever breaking even with
the game.
There has been one or two of the
machines in sa1oons in Kenosha, but
most of the saloon men have respected
the law in this regard and kept the
machines In the attic.

Board of Education Orders Ptin-
cipaI HammiII to Sign Contract
Or to Give Up His Position.
CENSUS SHOWING GROWTH.
Number of School Children in the City
Increased by More Than 400 in
the Last Twelve Months.

The board of education of the city
of Kenosha will no longer tolerate
unbusinesslike methods on the part
of teachers in the schools of the city,
and at the meeting of the board last
evening a resolution was passed or
dering all teachers elected to make
contracts with the board at once.
Failing to do this, it is announced
that the board will declare these places
vacant and proceed to elect new
people. The resolution affected only
Miss Nancy Jenison and Prof. w. H.
Hamn1i11, both high school teachers.
Neither of them has as yet signed
contracts. It is not probable that
Miss Jenison will sign contract, as
she sent a statement to the board last
night to the effect that she had Sc
cured a position in Milwaukee at a
salary of $500 year, and that she
would accept this position if the board
would not allow her a salary of 5000 a
year. This the board declined to do,
but it was decided to offer Miss Jeni-
son a salary of $500, an increase of
500 over last year. Several app1ica-
tons have already been received for
the position made vacant by the re-
tirement of Miss Jenison, and there
will be no trouble in securing some
one to fill the place.
Mr.. Hamni11, it is understood, is
planning to remain in Kenosha next
year, and it is probable that his con-
tract will be signed before the next
meeting of the board.
The contracts for all the other teach
ers are now on file with the secretary
of the board.
Census Shows Increase.
F. r. Jacoby sent to the board last
night his report of the school census
for the year, and it shows a splendid
increase over the last year. The re-
port shows that there are now 1892
children between the ages of 4 and 20
years in the city, and of this number
only four are not able to attend school.
There are many children who are
being educated in the private schools
of the city, but they have been enum-
Grated in the census. The report
shows an increase of 400 over the fig
ures for last year, and this shows an
increase in population of more than
], 200 during the one year.

It could hardly be other wise with bill having for its top liners the we'll known Hayes and Hea- ley. This clever pair of funmakers, irresistible always because of certain concessions from nature, have devel- oped style and vogue of comedy that is unique and novel as well. In "The Clerk and the Bell Boy" they have full opportunity to exploit their pow CTS and do it with sure results. Phil Ott, Teddy Simonds and company in "The Smart Dr Smart contribute their share to the fun, and the five Filipino girls add touch of novelty to the jol- lity they radiate.

STEAMER CALL LOST.
Captain, Crew and Passengers all
 Perished.

HALIFAX, N. s. Oct. F. - The steamer Gall, bound from Tracadie, N. B., for New London, r. D. l., sank on Saturday night in a gale near New London, and the captain and crew and passengers, numbering nineteen in all, have been drowned.
 News received here from New Lon don by John Fagar, one of the owners of the Call, confirms the report of the loss of the steamer with all on board. MT. Fagar's son was on the steamer and is believed to be among the lost.
 There were nineteen on board the Call, including fourteen passengers, all men.
 The Call piled between New Bruns- wick ports and Prince Edward island, doing the work of packet.
 Most of the passengers were men from fishing villages at which the Gall stopped along the coast, and many of them had families.
 MT. Fagar states that the steamer was comparatively new, having been built about year ago. MT. Fagar had an $18,000 interest in her. He has left for Prince Edward Island to investi- gate the disaster.
 Last Saturdays storm ragged with great severity in the gulf of St. Law renee, blowing directly on the north ern shore of Prince Edward Island. The harbor of New London is a diff cult one to enter, and, while the re- ports of the wreck are exceedingly meager, it is believed that the little vessel was caught in the gulf by the storm and was either thrown on the ledges at the entrance of the harbor or foundered short distance off the shore.
 There are no telegraph lines to New London, and the first news of the dis aster, filed at the nearest telegraph station, did not reach here until last night.
 The Call was owned principally in Chatham, N. B., and was built within the year. She was about 300 tons bur- den

aNo WEDDING BELLs."

Theodore Kremer's stirring melo- drama, No Wedding Bells for Her." which will be played at Polls. to-mor row afternoon and evening, is herald ed as a novelty in melodrama. It's scenes are laid in and near Wilkes barre, Pa, in the heart of the great coal mining district, and to limited extent the plot deals with incidents of the coal strike. The "atmosphere" of the coal region has been preserved to a remarkable degree, and the char acters are all directly, or indirectly, interested in the mining of coal. One of many striking scenes in the play shows colliery No 4, near Wilkesbarre. The set is a marvel of stage mechan- ism, and the entrance to the deep ca vernous shaft, which leads hundreds of feet below tine earth's surface, may be distinctly seen. There is a real coal loader in active operation, min ing derricks, the little narrow gauge railway with its moving cars, and all of the other machinery and 1mple- ments generally seen near coal shaft. Tn the distance is one of the pictur- esque Wilkesbarre mountains, and the scene is enlivened by the presence of scores. of miners, all busy with their allotted tasks. The noise of the men, of escaping steam of the steam whist les, makes the scene one of great life and activity, and the whole is dis tinct and startling novelty. An excel lent company will interpret the pay Prices are popular.
