The annual report Of the board of ed
ucatlon was presented to the council
last night and single glance at the
footings of the report is enough to
show any taxpayer where large per-
centage of the money raised by tax
alton in Kenosha goes to. The report
shows that the Durkee building cost
a little over $4,000 and that the board
has in the neighborhood of $50, 900 on
hand to meet current expenses. The

BREEN HAS .sKID" sPEER.

The following clipping from the
Milwaukee Sentinel will be of inter
est to local baseball fans:
Kid Speer, the popular little catcher
who has played in Milwaukee for SO
many years and but recently an
nounced his retirement from profes-
siona1 baseball, will play the game
semi-professiona11y this year. Man
ager Breen, of the Kenosha team,
which is one of the clubs of the pro-
posed Lake Shore league, has signed
him to catch Sunday games for the
season. Breen also announces that
he .has arranged with Comiskey for
the use of some Of his young pitchers
when they are not working.
Kenosha is to have a downtown
ball park. I. u. Christiaanson, man
ager of the B1atz team, has called a
meeting of the managers interested
in the Lake Shore 1eagne at the Re
publican house Friday night. It is
expected that Port Washington, She
boygan, Kenosha and the B1atz team
will be represented at this meeting.

City Council to Force Reforms
From kenosha Electric Rail-
way Co. ornoconcessions
MUST GRANT TRANSFERS
Crate Street Extension Will Not be
Permitted by the Council Until the
Company Shows Willingness to
Conform to the Franchise.

The city council is at last in a posi-
ton where it can secure reforms in
the operation of the cars of the Keno
sha Electric Railway company, and
what is more to the point is the fact
that these reforms are to be forthcom-
ing before the city council takes any
action in regard to the proposed ex-
tension of the lines on Crate street.
Retiring Alderman Anderson, of the
Third ward, has sounded the slogan,
and his declaration that the company
should not receive any more from the
city until it met the provisions of it's
ordinance to the letter, have been
taken up by the other aldermen, and
they are in line to force the company
to get busy. eve know more now
than we did when we passed this or
dinance,' said one of the aldermen,
and it is our intention to see to it
that the company agrees to several
things before it gets to lay line of
track on Crate street."
Ever since the cars of the Kenosha
railway were started there has been
no end of kicking on account of the
fact that some of the cars did not
make the schedule. Cars have been
taken from the regular run in order
that they might be used with greater
profit on what is known as the ''fac-
tory rum" and people have been
forced to wait nearly an hour in order
to get car over some portions of the
line. Then there is the all important
matter of transfers. The ordinance
granted to the company distinctly
provides that the company shall fur
nish transfers to all passengers, and
there has never been a transfer issued
on the line. The managers of the
line claim that the present system of
personally conducting the passengers
from one car to another is better than
a transfer system, but the people of
the city who use the cars and pay for
their operation insist on printed
transfers. This matter has been
brought to the attention of the man
agement of the company any number
of times, but the company has de-
clined to take any action on the mat
ter. In every other city in the state
where cars are run on anything like a
business basis transfers are issued.
The aldermen have carefully taken
up this matter among themselves and
will insist that these reforms be
granted before any action is taken in
regard to the Crate street extension.

THE discussion among the aldermen
at Monday nights council meeting,
caused by the Kenosha Street Railway
Co. asking for permission to run a
track south on Crate street to the city
limits, is timely. While the aldermen
and most of the people are in favor of
giving the company permission to
extend on any street which they can
get signers, yet the aldermen and the
whole people will insist on the com
pany keeping some kind of reason
able schedule and also in giving
transfers, as the ordinance calls for.
y AS it is now, even in good weather
you may stand on Main street and
catch a car home in ten minutes, and
you may stand there thirty minutes
and not catch one, and this, too, al
the time Of day when the people most
need the cars. If the management
think they can get big load at. any
point they will wait FIVE or ten min
utes for it regardless of the other
clients of the road in other parts Of
the city who are waiting. Anothel
point that bothers the people is the
matter of transfers. This trouble
does not occur so often in the winter
when fewer cars are run, but in the
warm weather, when extra cars arr
on, maybe you get your full ride fol
FIVE cents and maybe you don't
These matters were taken up ands dis
cussed by the aldermen and it is to be
hoped that it will have the proper eff
feet on the management Of the road
The road is a big success and is max
ing money and the people are ''witE
it, and believe in it and want it, bu
they also want reasonable accommo
datioDs and their rights.

THE WHITE RIBBONS.

The farewell reception and white
ribbon tea given by the local W. c. T.
u. in honor of DR.. Maude Saunders
on Tuesday evening, was a most de-
1ightful social event. The meeting
was held in the Y. M. G.. A. rooms.
About 100 of the members, their
husbands and friends we're present.
After delicious repast Mrs. Stevens
took charge of the evenings program.
Our space will not permit mention OF
all the participants in the splendid

Judge BeIden Names Frank Waldo
Of the Town Of Bristol to Sue.
coed John B. MaIoney.
COUNTY COMMITTEE CHOICE
New Clerk of the Court Will Assume
His Duties at Once but Maloney
Will Aid During the Pres
ent Term of Court.

Judge E. B. Be1den, of the Circuit
court, Tuesday afternoon appointed
Frank Waldo, of the town Of Bristol,
to succeed John B. Ma1oney as clerk
Of the Circuit court of Kenosha
county.
There we're no fireworks attending
the making Of the appointment and
few of the attorneys had heard of it
until this afternoon. Mr.. Maloney
is still at work at his desk but he
sent his resignation to the court sew
era1 days ago and has been waiting
the appointment of his successor.
Mr.. Ma1oney will surrender the Office
to Mr.. Waldo as soon as the new off,
cia1 has filed his proper bonds and
qualities by taking the oath of Office.
However it is probable that Mr.. Ma
loney will remain at the court house
for another, week to aid in the work of
the present term of the Circuit court.
The appointment of Mr.. Waldo was
in no way surprise to the attorneys
and others interested in the court
officials, as it had been a foregone
conclusion that Waldo would be
named.
There we're but two candidates for
the Office, John II. Corcoran and the
appointee. Mr.. Corcoran had held the
office formerly and he had been urged
for the position by many prominent
men of both parties. On the other
hand Mr.. Waldo had the support Of
the Republican county committee. At
the time that it became apparent that
there would be vacancy Judge Bel
den sent a letter to the county COM
mittee asking that the committee
make some recommendation in regard
to the appointment and it is claimed
that Mr.. Waldo had the unanimous
support of the committee. This recon-
mendation had been filed with the
court before the name of Mr.. Corco-
ran was mentioned for the Office.
Mr.. Waldo is one of the best known
farmers in the town of Bristol. He
was born and raised in Kenosha
county and has always been active in
the political life of the town. He has
never held public office.

WILL TRY SCHUMACHER CASE.

Trevor Mans1aughter Case May How
ever be Laid Over Until Next Term.
No further action has been taken in
the case of the State VS.. n. ]. Schu-
macher but it is positively announce
by the District Attorney today that
the case will be tried. The district
attorney finds himself in a tang1e as a
result of the strange ending of the
hearing of the case on Tuesday but he
is determined that someone shall pay
for the killing of Wren. The trial of
Schumacher will however be laid over
for the term.
The NEWS last evening made a typo
graphical error in stating that John
Schuma cher was the man charged
with the killing of Wren. It should
have read N. J. Schuma cher.

MAY JOIN LEAGUE.
Manager Breen Looks With Favor
Upon a Proposition to Enter
Lake Shore League.
NEW UNIFORMS ARE ORDERED

Manager Peter Breen of the Keno
sha base ball club has under consider
ation.a proposition to join the Lake
Shore league and if Breen can secure
certain concessions it is more than
probable that a deal will be made. A
meeting of the managers of the clubs
which have already joined the league
will be held at the Hotel Pfster in
Milwaukee Wednesday night to talk
the matter over with Breen and see if
some agreement which will put the
Kenosha team in the league can not
be reached. The teams which have
already joined the league are the
B1atz team Milwaukee which has the
use of the league park in that city
when the regular team is away
from home; Sheboygan, Port Wash
ington, and Manitowoc.
The whole matter hinges on a
question of dates as Breen does not
intend to play any more games away
from home this summer than he can
help. IF he can make his own arrange
ments for Sunday and holiday games
in this city with the league teams the
move to join the league would un-
doubt1y be popular with the local
| fans. Breen has already made ar
engagements for games with some of
the strongest amateur teams in the
country like the Cuban Giants and
the Nebraska Indians to play here
and if the Kenosha team joins the
League open dates will have to be
secured in the league schedule for
these games.
The principal inducement for the
Kenosha team in entering the league
is that by joining it would always be
possible to have satisfactory teams to
play here. Baseball promises to be
profitable this summer and so many
of the good semi-amateur teams have
Joined leagues that it may be diff
cult matter for the local team to Sc
cure good teams to play here if it is
decided to remain independent.
Manager Breen went to Chicago this
morning to order the uniforms for the
team. He had not definitely decided
what the uniforms will be but it is
probable that the team will wear dark
green suits with maroon trimmings,
belts and white stockings. Top coats
of maroon cloth with pearl buttons
will also be added to the outfit.

NEW NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Social Democratic party, whose
candidate for the Presidency got
100000 votes last fall, is an organiza-
ton of $4,000 men enrolled in about
1880 branches. The campaign funds
are raised by contribution from each
member of ten cents month. Its
campaigns are incessant, are waging
every day in the year. Each member
is propagandist, and his propaganda
is to him what his religion is to mis-
sionary. There are mi11ionaires
among these enthusiasts, and, like
the artisans who form the overwhe1m-
ing majority, they go about in good
weather and bad, where they are well
come and where they are not, distrib-
uting tracts, arguing, sowing seeds of
discomfort with the existing order.
There has been no such deliberate,
assiduous, intense propaganda in our
politics since the militant Abolition
movement of ante-be11um days. Only
within the last four or five years has
this propaganda begun to attract at
tentioD, though it had long ago
lodged socia1istic ideas far and wide
among the preachers and the profess
sions. Since last fall the politicians
have been scrutinizing this political
movement, formidable out of all pro-
portion to the size of it's membership.
The next time poor1y-dressed fell
low on the street, or your neighbor at
dinner, hands you a socialist tract,
you may take it with new sense of
its meaning. Saturday Evening Post.
