Former Mayor Chas. H. Pfennig
and Miss Ruth Shields
Wed at Hotel Racine
SURPRISE FOR MANY FRIENDS

The marriage of Charles H.
Pfennig, former mayor of the city,
and Miss Ruth A. Shields, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Emmett Shields, of
the town of Bristol, was quietly ce1e-
brated at Hotel Racine in Ra cine We'd
nesday evening, January Is. Only a
few of the relatives of the contracting
parties were present when the cere-
mony was performed by the Rev.
Edgar T. Farri1l, pastor of the First
Congregational church in this city.
Mr.. Pfennig and his bride had an
nounced to their friends that the mar
riage ceremony would be performed at
the Manse of the First Congregational
church in this city, but when it was
discovered that several of the friends
of the we'll known young couple had
decided to give them merry send off
Mr.. Pfennig and his bride hurried1y
changed their plans. They went to
Racine on the 4 O'Clock train and a

SCHOLARS WASTE TIME.
Prof. McLenegan Expresses Views on
School Curricu1u1ns.


School CurriculuIns.
Prof. McLenegan, president OF the
Wisconsin State Teachers association,
believes that the time has come to
apply the pruning knife to the cur
riculum Of the public schools and lop
off the fads which now hamper the
work of the teachers and retard the
progress of the scholars. His views
coincide with those of great many
who have made careful study of our
present school system and the wide
spread belief that his idea that the
proper function of the public school is
to teach the essentials is entirely cor
rect, may make him an acceptable
non partisan candidate for state
superintendent of schools. In re-
cent interview Mr.. McLenegan ex-
pressed himself even more forcib1y
than at the teachers convention. He
said:
II believe in every fiber that a cry
ing need of our common schools is a
greater insistance on thorough work
in the fundamentals of a common
school education and at the meeting
of the Wisconsin State Teachers asso-
citation held in this city last December,
/ attempted to point out some tenden-
cies of our common schools wherein
they are falling short in their plain
duty to the state.
"When only a handful of the thous-
ands of children in the schools reach
the eighth grade, why, in the name of
reason, should we not teach them all
we possibly can of the essential things
they need, before they drop out?
That we do not teach them all we
might, is reproach to our education
al system. Does anyone say we are
doing our best for the children and
for the state? Ask the teacher. She
spends her days in the schoo1room,
and she knows. We are failing, not
because she does not know her bust
ness, but because we are trying to do
too many things.
"The teacher is robbed of precious
time she could use nightly; the state
is robbed, for it gets a feeble citizen
when it might have a strong one; the
child is defrauded of his birthright-
the ability to read and to write. Shall
we ever have the courage to do what
we know is right and reform this
abuse? The facts are true, and they
call from every city in the land for a
saner common school curriculum
There you have the whole situation
in nutshell. We are trying to do
too much.

Proposed River and Harbor Bill
Carries Small Appropriation
for the Local Harbor.
INADEQUATE FOR WORK ASKED
There is Little Prospect of the Bill
Passing the House or the Senate
and New Provision May be Made
for the Harbor of This City.

The trainers of the new river and
harbor bill which was sent to con-
gress on Monday of this week strained
themselves in their effort to make
provision for the Kenosha harbor and
in the new bill the magnificent sum
of 1000 is to be appropriated for the
Kenosha harbor. Racine Jared better
and the bill carried with it an appro-
priation of $4,000 for that harbor.
Waukegan is not mentioned and the
only other appropriation of interest to
the people of this section is one for
$3.50, 900 for the Milwaukee harbor.
Should the bill proposed be passed
the appropriation provided for Keno
sha will be entirely inadequate to
carry out the provisions Of the report
of Engineer Warren in regard to this
harbor. In his report Engineer War
rem stated that the change of the
breakwater in this city would cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000, and the
bids which have been received for the
work shows that the cost will be even
greater.
It is just possible that the trainers
of the bill did not intend that the
amount appropriated should be used
for this purpose but rather designed
it as an expense account to pay for
the investigation which has been pro-
posed by Congressman Davidson.
The new river and harbor bill con-
tains such small appropriations that
it would seem that it should appeal to
even the senators and congressman
who are anxious to cut down expenses.
Congressman Davidson will report
to the house next week on his plan
for the appointment of commission
to make an investigation of the har-
bors at Racine and Kenosha and his
report will recommend that a commits
sion be appointed to make a close in
vestigation at the two cities and re-
port what is demanded in order to
make the harbors in the two cities
suitable as harbors of refuge.
If this recommendation is accepted
it is thought that congress will make
a special appropriation for the inves-
tigation and if the investigation de-
mands changes the appropriation
necessary will be forthcoming.
Among the harbor projects in the
state to receive recognition in this
years bil1ssaccording to recommended
tons of Maj. Warren, the engineer of
this district, are the following: Mil
waukee harbor, 100000; Racine, $780,
900; Kewaunee, for maintenance only,
$1,000; Kenosha, $4,000; Green Bay,
$4,000; Ashland, $4,000; Sheboygan,
$18. 900; Two Rivers, $4,000; Port Wing
harbor, on Lake Superior, $40, 900; On
tonagon harbor, $4,000; Marquette,
$1,000; harbor Of refuge in Marquette
bay, $1,000; Muskegon harbor, Mich,
100000; Gladstone, $4,000; Manis-
tique, $4,000; st. Joseph, $4,000;
Grand Haven, $4,000. St. Mary's
river will receive $4,000 cash and
$750,0C0 for continuing contracts. The
harbors at Duluth ..and Superior will
get a continuing contract for $40, 200
and cash appropriation of $270, 900.

Plans Being Drawn for an En-.
largement of kenosha Y. M.
C. A. Building.
MORE ROOM BADLY NEEDED
The Directors Seek Grounds to the
West in Order That Fifty Foot
Addition May be Built Dur
ing the Coming Summer.

Plans are being drawn for an addi-
ton to the Kenosha Y. M. C. A.
building, and if the plans of the direc-
| tors are carried out Kenosha will have
the finest Y. M. C. A. building in the
state before the end of the coming
summer.
At the last annual meeting of the
directors the matter of increasing7the
size of the building was strongly
urged in the report of the secretary,
and the directors at once took up the
recommendation. To this end nego-
tiations have been opened for the
purchase of the fifty feet of ground
adjoining the building on the west,
and II this deal can be consummated
the work of building will probably be
started within the next two or three
months. The present building, while
one of the largest association homes
IN the state, is entirely inadequate to
the demands of the association. The
gymnasium is too small and more dor
mitories could be easily filled.
AAAN HAdhS 1OA ll1C nCW
would make it possible for the size of
the gymnasium to be increased by
nearly fifty feet, and it would make
the gymnasium perfect one. Added
to this, the upper floor of the build
ing could then be used as an associa-
ton hall, and it would be abundant1y
large for the holding of the Star
Course entertainments. The addi-
ton would also make it possible to
enlarge the bath rooms and bowling
ception room adjoining the present
reading rooms.
The cost of the addition would be in
the, neighborhood of $4,000, and it is
stated that the directors have assur-
ances that the money for the building
can be raised with little trouble as
soon as the site is secured. The
property desired by the association
was recently purchased by Harry S.
Brown, and it is understood that Mr..
Brown will sell to the association if
the directors are willing to pay the
price asked.
President Newman has some ad-
vanced ideas in regard to the work
that is to be done by the association
in Kenosha, and with an enlargement
of the building it is possible that
some of these plans may be carried
out.
Within the next ten days the asso-
citation will receive from the executor
of the last will Of the late Willis W.
Cooper, a check for $4,000, the
amount left to the association in the
will of the deceased stocking manu-
facturer, and it is possible that plan
may be devised by which this money
can be utilized for the new building
fund.
The great work that is being done
by the association in Kenosha has ap-
pealed to many of the wealthy resi-
dents, and there is little doubt but
that all the money needed can be
raised with little trouble.

CHRISTENSEN LEGALLY DEAD.
Danish Brotherhood Society Pays
$1,000 to Supposed Widow.

PA1OOO ~ 0uppOSCu w 1uOW0
Mrs. Nie1s Christensen, whose
missing husband was declared legally
dead by the county court recently, be-
cause he has been absent for over
seven years, has finally come into
possession of one-ha1f of the money
for which his life was insured, as
President Sorensen and Treasurer
Nelson of Racine lodge, No. 4, Danish
Brotherhood, Wednesday night paid
the supposed widow ST., 900 as the full
amount of the policy he carried.
The insurance branch of the United
DANA Societies also stands ready to
pay over $1,000 to the widow, the
claim that Nie1s Christensen was seen
in St. Louis few years ago not being
substantiated by reliable proof.
Nie1s Christensen was former Ra-
cine man who moved to Kenosha in
the spring of 1897, where he started in
as building contractor. Along in
the fall he disappeared, after drawing
some money on his contracts, and his
bondsmen were subsequently obliged
to make good his shortage, as many
of his men had money coming for
work and put liens on the buildings
in course of construction.
At first it was thought that the
missing contractor had met with foul
play, and that his body had been
thrown into the river, but later on it
became common talk that he had
simply skipped to avoid his creditors,
and many people are yet of the same
opinion, although the man is now
legally dead.
Since his disappearance his wife
has supported herself by washing
and scrubbing and has earned the
respect of all.

TO ESTABLISH NEW OFFICE.
Commissioner Host Wants Office oil
Fire Coroner Created in a IL Counties.

Commissioner Host Wants Office of
Fire Coroner Created in all Counties.
Insurance Commissioner Host will
soon present number of bills which
will have behind them the support of
the insurance department. One
measure provides for the creation of
the Office of fire coroner in each coun-
ty of the state who shall investigate
the origin of all fires. In suspicious
cases the corner will have the power
to impanel juries to assist him in his
Investigations.
Another bill provides that all COM
panies having $40, 900, 900 insurance in
force must gradually reduce their
capital stock and become mutual com
panies, the surplus profits to be used
under the law to form basis for the
naturalization plan.
The bill discussed by Mr.. Host some
time ago for the taxation of fire insur-
ance companies per cent on their
gross premiums and the deduction
from the amount on which the taxes
are based of all return premiums and
reinsurance, will also be presented.
Another bill provides additional
clerks for the insurance departments
for the examination of insurance
COM anies.
Last will be the bill providing that
after 1907 all fees from the insurance
department shall be turned over to
the state. This is the measure which
also provides an increase of So, 900 in
salary for future commissioners in lieu
of the fees, the present salary of So, 900
to be increased to $4,000. The sa1ar-
les of the deputy insurance commits
sioner, the actuary and several clerks
in these departments are also in
creased under the bill.
