OUR experience with the Kenosha
Street railway has taught us how
valuable the right to use the streets
af the city really is, and how careful
she aldermen will have to be in deal
ing with all promoters. AS regards
compensation for the city, the amended
ordinance sent to the council by the
Park City company is in no way an
improvement over The old one, and no
ordinance which does not provide that
the city shall receive compensation
FOR the use of the streets should ever
be given any consideration by the
aOnncil. The city is ready, and even
eager, to treat with any franchise
aeeker on fair basis, but it does not
nFopose to surrender all its rights.

A YOUNG ROATMAN.

Emil Bauer has just completed a
canoe, which will be on exhibition 1T
his homesat II Ashland avenue today
and tomorrow morning. The boat is
sixteen feet in length, and is one of
the neatest canoes ever built by a
boy SO young. Bauer is only IA years
of age, and yet has accomplished a
big task. He is regular genius in
that line. On Sunday the canoe will
be launched into the si1very (?) waters
of the tannery creek. Bauer has
made boat for Fred Westine, which
will be launched few days later.
The boats name is "Vesper."

Western Town Of County Sends
Complete Returns Of Census
and Has Large Increase.
KEN0SHA's INCREASE BIG
Census Men Now State that the City
and Suburbs Will be More Than
2O,OOO.-Big Increase in Popu-
Iation of the County.

The town of Randall has the honor
of being the first town in Kenosha
county to give complete returns for
the state census of 1905 as George w.
McKesson filed his report with the
county clerk today, The report shows
that Randall has a population of 843,
which is an increase of us over the
figures returned when the national
census was taken in 1900. Nearly all
of the other towns in the county will
have The work of taking the census
completed this week and reports from
every town show great increase.
Pleasant Prairie and Somers will
show the largest increases and these
people will largely be people who
practically live in Kenosha. 1t is
claimed that Pleasant Prairie will
have population of nearly 1900 and
the majority of them are now residing
within sight of the limits of the city.
Somers will show an increase of sew
eral hundred for the same reason.
County Clerk Crosby is expecting
the census of the county to show an
increase of at least 5000, while in the
city the increase will be from 5000 to
5000.
At the time the census taker started
his work in the city it was generally
estimated that the figures would be in
the neighborhood of $1,000. When
the city directory was issued in 1904,
A. G. Wright, the publisher, esti-
mated the population of the city at
that figure, but many people believed
that he was very optimistic. Census
Taker eraser has now completed the
work in the four north wards and a
part Of the Fourth ward, and has al
ready enrolled 5000 people. The num-
Der will be up to 10000 before the
Fourth ward is completed. The first,
second and third wards are still to be
heard from, and these wards in 1900
had population of AIS. It is GER
tain that these wards have increased
by more than 1000, so that with the
figures now in population of more
than 10000 is assured. The names
have been coming in at such a rapid
rate that some of the parties speculat-
ing on the census are now placing the
figures for the city alone at more than
$4,000.
Twenty thousand tributary to Keno
sha is the statement of County Clerk
Crosby. He figures that the number
within the corporate limits of the city
will be at least $4,000, and holds that
the suburban population will be more
than 5000.
If this is found to be true, Kenosha
will have shown greater growth in
the last five years than any city on
the lake shore, and possibly greater
than any city in Wisconsin.

WROTE HIS FUNERAL SERMON
Sermon Prepared by the Late George
Andruss Read Over His Remains.

AHuruSS ReaQ over HIS Remains
When the remains of George An
druss, pioneer of the town of Bris-
tol, were laid to rest on last Saturday
afternoon, the funeral service over
the remains was the most unique ever
held IN the town of Bristol. Some
time before his death Mr.. Andruss,
who was an eccentric character, pre-
pared a funeral sermon and asked that
it be used at the time of his funeral.
In order that there might be no
mistake he went TO his lifelong
friend, Frank Shuart, and asked that
he take charge of the funeral and
read the sermon which had been pre-
pared. Mr.. Shuart accepted the
charge. and when the remains of the
pioneer were returned to Bristol a
week ago Mr.. Shuart fulfilled his
pledge. With the words penned by
the dead ringing in their ears, the
friends of the deceased carried him to
his last resting place in the Andruss
family plat at Wesley Chapel.

State Officials Dfmand That Law
on Burial Permits be Enforced
to the Very Letter.
TO MAKE QUAR- YREPoRTS
Law Which Has Been Overlooked in
This County to be Rigid1y Enforced
and Prosecutions Are Promised.
Blanks for Town Clerks.

Register Of Deeds P. G. Torrey re-
ceived letter this morning from
c. A. Harper, secretary of the Wis
consin State Board of Health. which
is practically demand for a more
rigid enforcement of the law govern
ing the issue Of burial permits in Ke-
nosha county. This law has been on
the statute books for many years, but
it is claimed that it has been dis
reg arded in many cases in this
county, and during the last few years
hundreds of bodies have been buried
without the state permits. 1t is
claimed that in the city, where there
is health officer, the law has been
pretty we'll enforced, but even here it
is claimed that in some cases the per-
r1its for burial are not issued until
days after funerals are held.
Out in the rural towns little or no
attention has been paid to the work
ings of the law. In many cases the
town clerk, in whose possession the
permits are left, has lived miles from
the home of the dead, and for this
reason the bodies have been buried
without any attention being paid to
the certificates. The sexton of the
cemeteries, in which these bodies
have been inferred, is liable under the
law to heavy fine for not demanding
the state permit before the body was
buried.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture the law governing burial per-
nits was amended, and in the future
it will be possible for the state to in
sist on the enforcement of the law.
Register of Deeds Torrey in the flu
ture will be forced to furnish quar-
terly report showing the number of
deaths in the county. This report
will carry with it a copy of every per-
nit issued on the authority of the
state, and if the permit does not ap-
pear in this report it will be an easy
matter for the state to follow up any
breaking of the law.
Blanks for these reports have been
prepared at the expense of the county
and they are now being sent to every
town clerk and to the health officer in
the city. In the past it has been held
sufficient to secure permit from any
health officer in any of the towns of
the county, but in the future it will be
necessary for the undertaken or sex
ton in charge of the funeral to secure
the permit from the clerk or health
officer in the town where the deceased
resided at the time of his death. No
fee is provided for the issue Of these
certificates for burial.
Under the new law the work Of Reg
lister Of Deeds Torrey is largely in
creased, as formerly he was only
forced to furnish one report year.
Added to the report of deaths, the
register of deeds is also expected to
send in statistics quarterly relating to
accidents occurring within his juris-
diction.

BIG FEAST STARTED.
Thousand Were at Zion City on
Thursday for Opening Of
The Annual Event.
D0WIE'S POWER NOT WANING

The Fifth Feast Of the Taber-
nacles' at Zion City, which is to con-
tinue the next ten days, was opened
Thursday evening by meeting
known as "The presentation aud
conservation of the people to God. =
John Alexander Dowie preached from
the text, prepare Ye the Way of
the People,
More than 500 nonresident Zionites
have arrived there for the convoca-
ton, and several thousand are ex-
pected in the next few days. Elijah
hospice is filed to- overlooking, and
many of the faithful are encamped
in tents pitched around the taber-
.nacle where the meetings are to be
held.
In spite of the supposedly pure
religious intent of his address, the
prophet" did not neglect to tell of
the wonderful proves and growth of
his church, nor to exhort his people
to give largely of their worldly goods
to the Shiloh tabernacle fund, for
which collection will be taken to-
day. After speaking in a general
way Of the dislike manifestedlby the
majority Of great statesmen for the
religion of churches, Dowie related
the appreciative attitude taken by
numerous great leaders toward his
own church organization.
China" he declared, 'shas for
generations been untouched and UNI
affected by the thousands of mission
aries sent there by the orthodox
churches. 1t remained for Zion to
work the reformation in which they
failed. It is shown not only by the
acceptance of our creed blythe people
but by the statements of their leaders,
one of whom, Kang va Wei, president
of the Chinese Empire Reform as
sociation, told me had offered him
the only true religion for his people.
tPoliticians, as we'll as statesmen"
he continued, ''look uponsm
and clergymen as marketable COM
modities, to be bought and sold, to be
used only in gathering votes or
political influence.
''My relation to Roosevelt is we'll
known. He is a great man and is
banning out. He shows that he is a
man of strength and force, and is
gathering around him men of culture
and power. He has shown that his
standard is one of absolute upright
ness and conservatism.

dents other than the head of this

He then said that Zionists all over
the world are preparing for a great
concerted movement, an exodus to
some great center. He said Zion
City would for several years be the
headquarters of Zion, but that the
time would come when it would be but
one of the smaller parts Of a greater
system.
"The acquisition of the lands in
Mexico he said, lis the greatest
event in the history of Zion. They
are fertile and beautiful, comprising
5000, 600 acres, watered by ten rivers.
All products can be grown there.

be secured, bur with artificial aid
four will be reaped.

FLRSKH SENTINEL
THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1905.


 Next Monday evening the newly elected Council will organize and get ready for business for the com- ing year. SENTINEL believes that the people have made good selec- tions in choosing the men who will transact their business. Mayor Jensen and councilmen Lynch, Coulter and Lloyd have had some experience in town affairs. Mr. Rosenthal is a level-headed busi- ness man, as are also Messrs. L. J. Cole and c, V, Carson, and the citizens may confidently look for them to join the old members in giving us progressive but at the same time economical administra- tion of affairs. The position of mayor and councilmen the coming year will be no snap. A school building is to be erected; although ;4,a trustee will have management ig stpaigAtening out the interior Of the town, the council may aid him materially; new streets will be opened up and these will need look ed after;-in fact the new era into which " a,e about to enter will call for new duties not demanded heretofore. But we believe the prw board elected will be equal to the emergency and that the people will have no eause of regred for eleeting them. In the organiza- iian, it is quite probable that MT. Jensen will Ee reelected Mayor, Mir Worden Clerk and Mr. McCor- mack Treasurer, as the peculiar ft- ness of these men for the respect i've positions suggest that they sho'd be. However that may be; whoev- CT is chosen for these places, it be- ho1ve5 olr citizens to as ,ist their legislative body in doing all they can to promote the best interests of our growing little town.
