PLAN FOR STATE FAIR.

Board of Managers Meets the Advisory
Committee Some Big Events.
! AT the conference between members
of the state fair board and Milwaukee
business men, held at the rooms Of the
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation, Wednesday afternoon, the
| general plans of the board for the
fair of 1905 were gone over. 1t was
announced that efforts would be put
forth to have the arrangements of the
fairs of Iowa, Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin act in unison, that united efforts
may be put forth to secure the best
national attractions for the three
fairs. To this end President George
McKerrow and Secretary John M.
True will leave for st. Paul to meet
the members of the Iowa and Mime
sofa boards.
1t was decided that Monday, Sept.
IL, should be set as chi1dren's day at
the fair, and committee, consisting
of A. c. C1as, C. E. Sanlmond Fesdi-
nand Meinecke and William Kieck-
hefer, was appointed to confer with
the school board to secure a holiday
for the children at that time.
1t was agreed that special efforts
shou1d be put forth to have an auto
mobile parade as a feature of the fair,
if the committee selected to conduct
it, William McLaren, Alvin Kletzsch
and r. B. Watrous, can interest a
sufficient number of owners Of autos
to take part.
The board asked that Milwaukee
business men renew their guarantee
of $4,000 to cover a possible deficit
as a result of bad weather. AS yet
this annual guarantee has not been
called for, but has been raised as a
safeguard.
The board has arranged for purses
for speed aggregating S27, 900, or $500
more than will be given by Minnesota,
one of the largest fairs in the north
west. On other premiums an increase
of from Is to Is per cent will be given.
A number of the national cattle and
sheep associations have agreed to do
nate several hundred dollars each for
special prizes at the Wisconsin fair,
the state board to duplicate all such
donations.

MAY GET MEYERS BUILDING
Mrs. Meyers Is Asked to Make Pro
posa1 for the Postoffice.

Mrs. Meyers Is Asked to Make Pro
posa1 for the Postofffce.
The Kenosha postofice may be
moved to the corner room in the Mey-
ers building. Mrs. Anna Meyers, the
owner of the building, has been
asked to make a proposal for the lease
of this room to the government. The
room is thought to be admirably fit
ted for the demands of the Office and
it is centrally located
It is understood that Mrs. Meyers
is wiling to rent the building heated
for the sun of $1,000 year, and it is
thought that the government would
be willing 10 pay that amount. Mrs.
Meyers has been furnished with
blank forms for the proposal but they
have not as yet been forwarded to the
government.
Captain Frantz is making every
possible effort to get this important
matter settled before his term of office
expires as he is anxious to turn the
postoffice over to his successor with a
new location at least in sight.

Assembly Committee Kills Bill
for Free Text Books Without
Ever Reporting It.
CATHOLICS UP IN PROTEST
Big Meeting Is Held in Milwaukee at
Which Archbishop Is Present.
Fears of Bennett Law Fight
Urged the Committee.

The bill to provide free text books
for the schools of Wisconsin, the bill
on which Assemblyman Curtiss had
hoped to gain fame during his first
term as member of the state legis-
1ature, was ruthless1y killed by the
committee on educational affairs on
Thursday afternoon and It will never
come before the assembly.
The action of the committee came
none too soon as it is asserted that
the law proposed by the Kenosha
county assemblyman was meeting
with such bitter opposition among the
Catholics and German Lutherans of
the state that in few days fight al
most as great as the fight against the
''Little Red School House" law would
have been on. The committee had
just fore-knowledge enough to hear
the rumblings of the fight and the
bill was promptly sque1ched, pigeon
ho1ed and laid forever on the shelf so
far as this session of the legislature
is concerned.
The bill, which is said to have been
prepared by prominent politicians in
this section of the state who had
urged the candidacy of Assemb1yman
Curtiss, provided that the state should
publish all the school books needed in
the common schools, and further pro-
vided for an appropriation of 500, 900
to carry out the provisions of the act.
1f Hills s3o4 q
at the session, but the wiser members
of the administration forces saw in
the bill a boomerang which would an
tagonize large class of voters in the
state, and for this reason it has been
kept pretty we'll hidden in the heart
of the committee on educational
affairs.
The fight on the bill was opened on
Wednesday night when one q the
Milwaukee branches of the Federated
Catholic Societies held a meeting at
which a protest against the bill was
passed and at which time a resolution
was sent to the state officials of the
Federation asking that they use all
their power and influence to defeat
the measure. In giving the reasons
for the defeat of the bill the Catholic
societies urged that the people who
are educating their children in paro-
chial schools should not be called
Ut - as tax payers to pay for the pub
fishing of text books which would
never be used by their children.
Archbishop Messmer was present at
the Milwaukee meeting and gave his
sanction to the opposition to the bill.
The officials of the Catholic socie-
ties were to have appeared against
the bill today, but the committee fore
stalled this action by killing the bill
late Thursday afternoon.
The protests did not come alone
from the Catholics as large number
of letters had been received from
prominent Lutherans in different
parts of the state urging the defeat
of the bill.
The general opinion seems to be
that Assemblyman Curtiss has made a
decidedly bad political break. There
is no doubt but that he was acting in
good faith in presenting the bill, but
he probably had no idea of the po1iti-
cal hornets nest that it would stir up.
