ARE AFTER BAD BOYS.
Government Officials Come to
Kenoshato Arrest Boys Who
Broke Into Key Post.
CREW HAMPERED IN WORK.

Government officials have been call
ed to Kenosha to investigate the acts
of certain boys residing in the south
part of the city who have been charg-
ed by Captain Cameron of the Life
Saving crew with demo1ishing gov
eminent property and interfering
with the work of the United States
Life Saving crew. Down on the beach
two miles south of the city on what is
known as stSouth Point" the govern
tnent had set up post for the use as
a key post by the members of the
Life Saving crew, The post is of
little value save on account of the
fact that it contains holder for the
key which is used to register the
visits of the members of the crew.
The members of the crew are sup
posedtto make daily trip to this look
out and in order to show the per-
Torrance of their duty a clock is
carried and the key is left at the key
post.
Early yesterday morning band Of
small boys all of them large enough
to knowrbetter attacked the key post
and brokesopen the locks and stole
the key which is used in operating
the clock. When the member of the
| crew went to the post for his regular
trip,it was impossible for him to work
the clock. Captain Cameron at once
notified the chief of the department
in regard to the crime and govern
ment officials came to Kenosha this
morning to investigate and if pos.
sib1e secure the arrest of the guilty
parties.
The crime Of damaging govern.
ment property is most serious one
and it is probable that the offenders il
captured will be sent to the State
prison for term of service.
This is the second time that the
post of the department on "South
Point has been destroyed and fol
this reason the officials will leave nc
stone unturned to locate and punish
the guilty parties.

The Lake Shore league season had
most auspicious opening in Kenosha
Sunday afternoon and the Kenosha
team walloped it's old rivals, the Port
Washington team, by a score of to i.
The game was a pitching battle be-
tween Feline of the Chicago White
Sox, who oficiated for Kenosha, and
Groth a former National Lacquer, who
was in the box for the Ports. Feline
pitched all around Groth. He allow
ed the visitors but two hits and struck
out eleven men. Groth was easy for
the Kenosha players and they hit the
ball over the field for total of thir-
teen hits, and what is more, they
punched the hits and made them count
for runs. Groth struck out twelve
men.
With perfect support Fiene would
have shut out the Washington team,
and for eight innings the Ports had a
blank on the score board. In the
ninth the Port Washington batters
were desperate and they went IN to
save shut out. There was pop fly
which fell safe, an error and hit and
the Ports had their one score.
Notwithstanding the raw wind
which prevailed during the afternoon
there a large crowd was IN at
tendance to witness the opening game
of the league season, and it is estimat-
ed that fully 1,400 paid admission at
the gates. The game was spectacu-
lar one and the Kenosha boys started
out with a winning pace in the first
inning, when they made two runs on
three hits and an error. In the fifth
the Kenosha boys added two more
and when it was certain that the game
was won they added another in the
eighth. The score:

MAKE GOOD REPORTS
Delegates to Inter County w. C.
7. U. Convention Show That
Work is Growing.
MANY DELEGATES AT MEETING
The Village of Bristol Entertains Its
First Big Gathering of Loyal
Workers for the Great
Cause of Temperance.

The sessions Of the fourth annual
convention of the Racine.Kenosha
County W. c. T. U. opened at the
Methodist church in the village of
Bristol last night, and more than a
hundred delegates and members of
the union from the different towns in
the two counties have gone to Bristol
to attend the convention. The gath
ering promises to be the most inter
esting and most largely attended ever
held in Southern Wisconsin. The
heavy rain Of today failed to dampen
the ardor of the white ribboners, and
many new delegations arrived to swell
the crowd in attendance.
The first session of the convention
was decidedly interesting one, and
one which gave encouragement to the
little band who have been fighting
against fearful odds for many years.
The reports of the different unions in
the two counties showed that the year
just coming to a close had been the
most successful In the history of the
Kenosha- Racine County Union. Posi-.
tive work has been done in all the cit.
les and villages, and the reports OF
| the different unions showed that the
membership had grown and that the
work being done was of better class
than ever before. In some of the cit
les the union has taken a bold stanC
against license, and it is hoped tina
by another year the work of thu
union will result in the saloons beine
driven out of these villages.
These little g1eanings from tn
fields were the most interesting por
ton of the first session. Later on il
the evening there was a symposium
at which the subject, "The Woman
Christian Temperance Union as /;
factor in church work" was discussed
Among the speakers during the sym
postum were Mrs. Mary E. Hopper
of Chicago, national lecturer and or
ganizer of the union. Mrs. Hopper i,
the most distinguished guest of The
convention, and she was listened t.
with great deal of interest by tht
delegates and their friends.
This morning the business meeting,
of the convention began, and tn,
various officers of the inter-count,
union made their annual reports. TIL,
reports were decidedly gratifying
The reports Of the officers were con
tinued at the afternoon session.
In the evening there will be golc
medal contest, in which five youns
ladies will take part.
/ At the session this morning the fol
lowing officers were elected:
President Mrs. w. w. Stevens

Eliza Getting, Bristol.

HE GETS HIGH HONOR
Horace BIackman Elected Profes.
sor of Mechanical Drawing
at Iowa University.
SUCCESS FOR SELF.MADE MAN

Dispatches from Ames, Iowa, state
that Horace Blackman of this city, a
son of the late Horace B1ackman of
the town of Bristol, has been elected
professor of mechanical drawing at
the State Agriculture College of Iowa
which is located at Ames. He will be.
gin the duties of his new position
with the opening of the new college
year.
Prof. B1ackman is one of the young
est men ever appointed to such a re-
sponsib1e position and his advance.
ment comes as reward for hard work
during the past few years. Prof.
B1ackman is se1f-made man in every
respect. He is now d years of age
and during the last four years he has
made steady progress in his work as
a mechanical draughtsman.
Young B1ackman graduated from
the High school at Broadhead four
years ago and he at once started out
to secure an education along the lines
of mechanical engineer and
draughtsman. B1ackman had no funds
to pay for term at college, but this
proved no barrier to his advancement
as he at once went to Madison and ac-
copied position as driver for a Madi-
son physician in order that he might
be able to enter the University of
Wisconsin. After year at the Uni
versity at Madison he went to Ames
where he entered as second year
student. He soon found employment
at Ames and in this way managed to
pay his expenses for the three years
course. During the summer of 1904
he was employed as draughtsman in
the plant of the Thomas B. Jeffrey
| company.
The college at Ames is one of the
best of the kind in the United States
and Mr.. B1ackman is in line for
speedy advancement in his chosen
profession.

Steamer Ta1tic and Barge Zatatic. of
Buffalo, Bring First Hard Coal.
The steamer '0Taltic'' and the
barge "zatatic,'' both laden with hard
coal. arrived in the Kenosha harbor
Sunday, the two boats being the first
coal boats Of the year to touch at the
coal port. Each Of the boats carried
1000 tons of hard coal, one of the CAR
goes being for the Peter Fisher Jr.
company, and the other for the Raid
win company.
The dealers in Kenosha seem to be
assured that there will be no scarcity
of coal during the coming season,
and it is limited that the price of the
much needed commodity will be lower
in the fall than it has been in several
years. It is expected that the full
supply for the Kenosha yards will be
here by the first of September.

During the last few DAYS numerous

During the last few days numerous
complaints have reached the police
office relative to the manner in which
reckless boys in different parts of the
city are killing robins and other sing
ing birds. 1t is usual this time of
year the youngsters arm themselves
with air guns, s1ingshots and any
other means of destruction that can
be found and proceed to slaughter any
and all harmless creatures they can
find. To entirely check this wanton-
ness is, of course, impossible, but the
police are taking extreme care in the
matter ard all boys reported as hav-
ing committed any such offense will
be summarily dealt with.
