TWO MORE VICTIMS
Homes Of Mrs. Dorothea Schroe-
der and William Evans En-
tered by Burglars.
MAY HAVE GOT BIG BOOTY

Reports of .bug1aries during the
Christmas holiday are still being
brought to the police Office, and this
morning two more names have been
added to the long list of houses en-
tered during the last few days., These
are the homes of William Evans on
South Exchange street, and that of
Mrs. Dorothea Schroeder on Lake
avenue. Both were entered on Sat
urday night.
At the Evans house nothing is miss
ing but dress suit case and a small
amount of clothing, and it is impossi-
bic to tell what is taken from the
Schroeder home, as all the occupants
of the house were out of the city at
the time of the burglary and they
have not as yet returned.
In both cases the burglars gained
entrance to the houses through Win
dows at the rear. They seem to have
been frightened away from the Evans
home, but they had free rein at the
Schroeder home, and evidently know
ing that there was no chance of their
being disturbed, they made the
rounds of the entire house and
searched all the rooms. There is no
way of telling what was secured at
the house, but if anything of value
had been left behind it is evidently in
the hands of the burglars.
The burglary at the Schroeder home
was not discovered until Monday,
when passer-by discovered that one
of the windows was open, and know
ing that the family was out of the
city he at once reported the matter to
the police. There seems to be no clue
to the guilty parties, but the two
burglaries were evidently the work of
the gang that has been working in
other parts of the city.

STATE TEACHERS MEETING
Many Kenosha Teachers Plan to At
tend Annual Gathering.

While large number of the IS
teachers employed in the public
schools of Kenosha will spend Christ
mas in their respective home towns
in various parts of the country, many
of them will manage to attend the an
nual convention of the Wisconsin
State Teachers association, aud as
those who remain in the city during
the holidays have all planned to visit
Milwaukee next week, it is expected
that at least forty educators from Ke-
nosha will attend the convention.
The expression of sentiment favor
ing the election of a woman, who
shall represent the rank and file of
the teaching force, as the president
of the Wisconsin State Teachers as
ISOLATION, if not at this coming meet
ing at succeeding one in the not far
distant future, is one of the latest de-
velopments of the political situation
of the convention. 1t is argued that
the women form by far the greater
percentage of the membership of the
association, and that there are many
of them who have the ability to fill
the office with honor.
The project of appointing perma-
nent secretary, with salary sufficient
to warrant him in devoting his time
to the interests of the association,
will be suggested at the convention
by the retiring secretary. An attempt
will be made to increase the present
salary of the office, which is 500 a
year,
The discussion of the wage problem
will be one of the principal features
of the convention, and it is believed
that the recent salary raise accorded
the Milwaukee teachers will be re-
garded as a signal victory by the
state association, which began the
agitation for the salary increase two
years ago, and that it will influence
similar recognition of the profession
in other parts of the state.
The manual training exhibit of
public schools of Milwaukee and
schools in the state, including exhib-
it's from Whitewater, Oshkosh, and
Plattevi11e, which will be held in
connection with the convention will
be opened on Tuesday in the assem-
bly, room Of the Normal school.
The exhibit will include displays
from Milwaukee High schools as we'll
as from grade classes. In view of the
recent introduction of manual train
ing in the public schools the exhibit
is expected to be one of the most in
teresting sections Of the convention.
Beginning with Tuesday, the ex-
hibit will be continued during the
week. On Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock, DR.. Be11fe1d, Chicago; Supt.
c. G. Pearse, Milwaukee, and Mrs. I.
H. Clark, superintendent of manual
training in Milwaukee, will give lee
lures.

BOOKS IN THE SCHOOLS.
Librarian Barnes Shows That Many
Books are Being Used by Students.

Librarian Barnes Shows That Many
Books are Being Used by Students.
For the past two years Gilbert NJ.
Simmons library has been placing
small collections of books in many Of
the school rooms, which the teachers
have very kindly circulated among
the children. These small libraries
are returned to the main library at
the close of each fall term, other
books being sent to the rooms at the
beginning of the winter terms, which
in their turn are brought back to the
main library, and so on.
Statistics from this work have Just
been made up for the fall, showing a
circulation of 3607 in twenty-three
rooms. The books thus distributed
through the schools numbered $50, in
Guiding the best books for children
that can be obtained
The teachers deserve great credit
for their willingness to undertake
the extra work entai1ed by the hand
ling and distribution Of these books,
which they do SO cheerfu11y and uu-
derstanding1y.
This work with the school children
is one of the most important in IL
brary progress, and is being increased
at every opportunity.

John Wren, Of Manitowoc, Struck
on the Head With a Blunt In
strunent During a Fight
BODY FOUND HIDDEN IN BARN
District Attorney Buckmaster Takes
Hold of the Case and Will Order a
Wholesale Arrest of Men Who
May Have Been Implicated.

John Wren, of Manitowoc, an en-
ployee of the Wisconsin Central Rail
way company, was fou11y murdered at
the village of Trevor in this county
shortly after ten O'Clock Sunday
night. The remains we're found
in a barn this morning by John
Button, Justice of the Peace in the
town of Salem, and an inquest over
them will be held this evening. The
identity of the s1ayers of the man is a
mystery but the case will be thorough
ly investigated and if it is thought
necessary every man connected with
the section work at Trevor will be
arrested in order to get the right
man.
The murder has caused the widest
excitement in the little village and to-
day every effort is being made to find
evidence which will aid in the arrest
Of the guilty parties.
The story of the crime is told as
follows:
On last Sunday night Wren and a
dozen other fellows all supposed to be
railway section men, were at a saloon
in the village. They had been having
a pretty hilarious time and just be-
fore ten o'clock they went outside of
the saloon and free for all fight was
started. During the fight Wren was
struck on back of the head with blunt
instrument. He fell to the ground in
an unconscious condition and short
time later the remains were placed in
a wtaee1barrow and carted to barn in
the neighborhood. It is alleged that
he died short time afterward. An
examination showed that the skull
had been fractured by the blow.
Wren was twenty-five years of age
and it is claimed that he was a peace
able sort Of fellow, 1t is also claim
ed that he was very unpopular among
the other workmen. but it is not
thought that this feeling was strong
enough to furnish motive for murder.
Wren had arranged to go to his home
in Manitowoc on Monday morning to
spend the remainder Of the Christ
mas holidays.
AS soon as the nature of the case
was discovered by the Justice, he took
charge of the remains and notified
Sheriff Timne and District Attorney
Buckmaster of this city. The inquest
over the remains. will be held this
evening and the District Attorney
has notified the Justice to Summon to
the inquest every man in any way
connected with the fight. He stated
just before leaving for Trevor that if
he considered it necessary he would
ask for the arrest of every one of the
section men.
This is the first murder case re-
ported in the county in many years
and every effort will be made to bring
the guilty parties to trial.

City Clerk George w. Harrington
this morning forwarded to the secre-
tary of state his annual report of the
Indebtedness of the city. There is
just one item to the report, and that
is an item of $17O,OO This is the en-
tire indebtedness of the city so far as
bonds are concerned, and the report
shows that this money was advanced
by the city for the purpose of aiding
railways.
The money was taken out of the
city many years ago at the time of
the building of the Rockford division
of the Northwestern, and while the
debt has been refunded it is probable
that It will bemany years before it is
cancelled.

YORK STATE FOLKS.
Nothing Better in It's Class Than Next
Sundays Attraction,

"York State Folks" the most
beautiful of all pastoral plays, comes
to the Rhode opera house next Sun
day night with the entire original
cast and the complete scenic produc-
ton, direct from a three months run
at the new Majestic theatre, Boston,
the handsomest playhouse in Amer
lea. The triumph Of "York State
Folks" in the large cities, like Chi
cage and Boston, where it has played
lengthy engagements during the past
year, has been remarkable. In both
the cities mentioned the demand for
seats was such that the orchestra had
to be put under the stage before the
end of the first week of the run, and
remained there until the end. .'York
State Folks" did what no other at
traction ever before accomplished in
Boston; it kept the Majestic open and
crowded all summer long, in spite of
the hot weather and the attractions
of seashore and mountains.
It will be seen here with the COM
p1ete production used in the Chicago
and Boston runs.
