MUST PAY A PENALTY.
Contractors for New Durkse school Agree
to Forfeit sa5 for Each Day of Delay


The Board of Education will run no
risks in connection with their efforts
to secure the earliest possible compile
tor Of the new Durkee school. for
when the contract for the building
was made at an adjourned session of
the Board at the city hail last evening,
clause was inserted by which the
contractors, Peters and Stewart, of
GAINESVILLE, agreed to pay to the
Board the sum of SIS for each dav
after November first, before the build
ing was completed and turned over to
the Board. This will act as 2 de.
c1ded spur to the contractors and, ac-
cording to the contract, the amount of
the penalty incurred may be taken
out of the contract price.
The contract is now ready for the
signatures of the contractors and
the officers of the Board, and the
Board has authorized it's officials to
sign it. It was decided that the con-
tractors will put up a bond of $40, 900
and this will be ready tomorrow.
The old building will be turned over
to the contractors on next Monday,
or earlier if they demand it. The
Board has partially arranged for the
care OF the children during the re-
building. The older children in the
grades at the Durlkee school will be
sent to the Weiskopf school and a new
grade will be opened for them. The
Younger children will go to the Cen
trial school, and in order to accommo-
date all it will be necessary for double
sessions to be held in several of the
grades. This plan will be started on
next Monday and continued until the
close of the present school year.

KAUFFMANN NAMED,
Alderman OF the Fifth Ward Selected
as One of the Leaders of Social
Democrats in Wisconsin.
MAY GO TO CHICAGO MEETING.

The Social Democrats Of Kenosha
are beginning to figure in the national
and state bodies of the party, and this
morning it is announced that Alder
man William Kaufman, of this city,
has been selected as an alternate to
represent his party in the national
convention, which will be held in Chi
cago on the LIST day of May. Mr.. Kauff-
mann is selected as the first alternate
and came within few votes of being
elected one Of the delegates to the
national convention. For months the
Socialists have been ba11oting for the
selection of the delegates, and the re-
suit was just made public this morn
ing.
Alderman Kaufman certainly de-
serves every possible honor that his
party can confer upon him, for he
was one of the few men that remained
in line during the recent election in
Kenosha, and while many of his party
went back to the Democrats Kauff-
mann remained in line fighting for
Socialism.
Kaufman is we'll known among
the Social Democrats in the state, and
he has been prominently mentioned
as the Socia1istic candidate for the
office of secretary of state.
The delegates elected for Wisconsin
by the Socialists are not pledged to
any candidate, but it is thought that
majority Of the delegates will favor
the nomination of Eugene V. Debs,
who will be the guest Of the party in
Kenosha next Saturday evening.
The full set Of delegates elected for
the state was: Victor L. Berger, w.
r. Gaylord, E. H. Thomas, Mi1wau-
kee; Henry ]. Amman, Kie1; Frede-
ric Heath, Emil Seide1, Milwaukee;
Jacob w. Born, Racine; Frederick
Brockhausen, Milwaukee; r. O. Stol1,
Eau Claire; Jacob Hunger, Mi1wau-
kee; J. M. A. Spence, Green Bay.

EVANGELISTS
Travel From California To Georgia On
Racy cles.

Travel From California To Georgia On
Racycles.
Rev. G. D. Miller and Rev. J. w.
Scott, travelling evange1ists, from
Oakland, CAL, are now in Augusta,
Ga. They came the entire distance
of over 2, 500 miles on wheels, leaving
California last September. Mr.. Mil
Ter, who is az interesting ta1ker, likes
to tell about the experiences he has
had awhee1, some of which are quite
amusing. But one is of great inter-
est to those who are thinking of in
vesting their hard-earned coin in a
bicycle. Mr.. Miller came all the way,
of course stopping from place to
place, on his wheel, the Racycle. He
says he had the same wheel for fifteen
months before he started on this tour,
and in all the two years he has oiled
the Racyc1e only once and has never
had it in the shop except to have new
tires fitted to it. Mr.. Mi11er's partner,
who rides wheel of different manu-
facture, had often to get down from
his disabled steed and p1od along,
while his travelling mate g1ided Sc
rene1y by on his reliable Racycle.
Another point of advantage that Mr..
Miller praises about his Racycle is it's
easy riding quality. The crank
hanger is hung in such way, he
says, that he was able to ridea1ong
smoothly in places where Mr.. Scott
would have to get off and push his
wheel along beside him.
Mr.. Miller, as stated above, has not
had to Oil his Racycle since he left the
Pacific coast, while Mr.. Scott has to
give the running gear of his wheel,
not a Racyc1e, dose of oil every two
or three days to keep it in condition.
If he neglected it for week it would
be so hard running that he would be
tired out long before his companion
had done more than get warmed up
well. In spite of all it has gone
through with, the Racyc1e is in good
shape and looks as if it would easily
stand another trans continental tour
One of the first things Mr.. Miller
did when he had become settled in
AnS uSld was " AOoh UP The local
agents of the Racyc1e, Messrs. Speth
Brothers, and tell them what fine
wheel they we're selling. He saw their
advertisement in the Chronicle and
thought they should know what the
Racyc1e could do when put to such a
severe test as he had given the one
he has been riding. Speth Brothers
knew what good thing the Racycle
was, but they are glad to have this
testimony from an unbiased source.
The Racycle is for sale in Kenosha
by Amel Boosted, corner of Park and
Exchange streets. New and second
hand bicycle for sale. Also automo-
bile and bicycle repairing done at rea-
sonable prices.

fifty years ago. In 1854 there were AZ
students, and the class of that year
consisted of but 2 men; this year
there are 8, 156 students, and the class

BY FIRE AT FORT VALLEY
AnthOines' Machine Shops ana "S'
Glass Residence Destroyed


Fort Valley, Ga, Jan. 3.-This morh-
ing about $3.50 o'clock fire was dlscoV-
cred in the office of ]. w. Antholnes
machine shops, and within one hour
and a half from tn time when 1t was
discovered his entire shops, together
with the residence of Mrs. EMMY
Glass, were burned to the ground ana
a property loss of approximately
$4,000 had been suffered.
Anthoines' shops were located mo-
far from the central portion OF toWh'
and quite a number of houses were
very near by. A strong vino "as
blowing in the direction OF Mrs NIdSS
house which was separated from me
shop by a small vacant lot and pub
lie street. 1t was readily seen py the
firemen that there was no chance 10
save the shops, so they eXerteo tnelr
energies in trying to save the Ilass
residence. From the first 1t lookCo
like a hopeless task, but after oespeI-
ate fighting it looked as II the pullu-
ing might be saved, when suddenly
strong wind set in and swept the nisn
flames from the two-story machine
shops completely across the street, UNI
til they practically touched Mrs. Glass
mouse, ana apparently AO ann -
work or water could have saved IT,
The firemen then directed their at
tention to several small houses Jus'
back of the fire, one of which had al
ready caught. They fortunately sue
ceeded in saving this building and
thereby several others, which woulo
necessarily have burned with 1t.
These houses were very much near
er the fire than the Glass residence, Du'
owing to the wind blowing in anothel
direction, the firemen were enabled &c
control the flames much more easily
Mr.. Anthoines carried no insurance
and his loss will be between $4,000 anc
$40, 900, which is a heavy loss to MN
as he had practically his all in these
shops.
His loss will likewise be felt by cltl'
zens in this section of the state, as ne
was well equipped for doing any klno
of machine work.
Mrs. Emily Glass residence was val
ued at $3.50, with $3.50 insurance or
the house and $3.50 on the furniture

furniture was saved, but damaged.

Sheen ON Every Farm.

While the sheep industry has made
great progress during recent years in
the United States, it is not anything
like what it may be made in coming
years, says Prof. Shaw in Sheep
breeders Gazette. If only a few sheep
were introduced on every farm, the in
crease in the aggregate would he very
great. In fact, it would be enormous.
Take, for instance, the state of Min
nesota. with it's 100000 farms, If only
ten sheep were reared annually on each
of them, Minnesota would have 2,000,-
900 sheep, or about four times the num-
Der now in that state. The farms in
Minnesota are large. They average at
least a quarter OF a section. Now, on
100 acres of land. ten sheep with their
lambs could not nearly consume the
waste pasture grown on such a farmt.
They would scarcely begin to consume
i. all.
Apply this line of reasoning TO other
states. Apply it to all the states, and
it would mean that our sheep would
be more than doubled one-half of
them being kept on pastures that had
cost nothing. This item would mean
considerable to our agriculture. 1t
would mean that $4,000, 900 sheep, in
round numbers. could be added to our
flocks without any additional cost for
food for about eight months OF the
year. If one were to claim that the
grass blades wasted on American farms
every year were worth 500. 900, the
statement in the abstract would seem
incredible, but when reasoned out as
above, it only puts the low value OF
SO. 90 per head on each sheep which
would be thus fed. If the grass were
fed them through the entire year, il
would put the value at 81. 90. instead OF
81. 90.
But this vast sum added to the live
stock production of our country wonlc
not nearly represent the benefit de-
rived. Sheep stand supreme among
weed destroyers. In this respect the
| average sheep is better than the aver
age boy. 1t is far away ahead of many

GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
BY S. A. COOK.

should offer persimmons for sale would
find himself facing a court on lun-
acy charge. The trouble with the per-
simmon is that it does not reach it's
perfection until frost has nipped it,
and after frost the fruit soon drops
from the trees. AS consequence 1t
is unusually gathered in large quanti-
ties by the poorer class of country
people after the first frost and con-
verted into beer by simple process
that involves no cost
Something should have been done for
the persmmon long ago, and we are
glad to note that science is at last
to come to it's rescue. The Mississippi
Experimental Farm has determined to
cultivate the fruit, and has sent agents
through the woods to sample the fruit
after the frost has nipped it that the
best specimens may be brought to
civilization. The best trees to be pro-
cured in that state have been taken
to the farm and an orchard laid out
The fruit will be carefully cultivated
and probably a larger variety than
that which grows in the woods will
be the result.
Great pains and considerable ex-
pense has been wasted in the cultiva-
tion of the japanese persimmon in
this country when the native fruit
is much superior. Once the Ameri-
can persimmon is given a fair chance
the Japanese variety will be nowhere,
and perhaps many other popular fruits
will be put to the bad. One may yet
live to see persimmons sold in the
Tar Heel state, which will cause a
revolution, no doubt, for the people
there cannot be made to believe that
there Is any property rights in per-
simmons.
There is another and independent
good to result from the cultivation of
the persimmon. The fruit is the prin-
cipal food in season of that most
appetzing of all beasts that rOams the
wilds, the opossum. Once the persim-
mon is domesticated the opossum may
also be, and even white persons may
occasionally get a chance at the deli
cacy that is now monopoliZed by the
negro. Since the time of Noah's flood
the opossum has been natures best
gift to man, being a little too good
in fact. If the persimmon can be
toned up somewhat and the opossum
toned down by the same process, there
will be little left to be desired on
this old globe. What need to worry
about the boil weevil and the brand
of mosquito called stegomyia, if the
persimmon and the opossum crop may
be preserved to a greatful people. The
government can well afford to spend
millions of dollars in assisting science
to domesticate these two greatest gifts
of this country to civilization.
Imagine a bigger and sweeter per-
simmon and a larger and less fat
'possum than we have ever had before
What more can we want?
