all things unsightly and unciean.
One of the most important
improvements the society has on
hand is beautifying the grounds
at the c. & E. depot. The
officials of this road are heartily
in sympathy with the aims of the
society and it is expected that
some time this week the COM
pany will bring a number of car
loads OF suitable earth, sand, or
gravel, for use of the society in
the improvements contemplated
When this arrives the Village
Improvement Sol iety will do the
rest. 1t is hoped to have every
thing in readiness to plant shrubs,
ETC., by April 1st.
The society members are doing
good work, and doing it gratis.
They deserve every encourage:
ment at the hands of the people
assistance that is not merely gooe
will and purely sentimental, but
something material.

Deserve Encouragement.

The Village Improvement
Society at their meeting, Friday
evening, discussed many things
of interest and importance to our
citizens. There was unusual
warmth shown by some of those
present in the advocacy of a
general movement toward clean
ing and beautifying the town.
Something is going to happen if
no heed is paid to the matter Of
Strengthening up affairs generally.
We are informed that certain
members OF the society expect
to confer with the city council at
its next meeting and see what
steps that body is disposed to
take in furthering the desires ot
the society and others who may
sympathize with a crusade against

Something Will Be Done.

OF late there has been consid-
erable complaint about the con-
dition OF cross-walks near the A..
d. Lembrocker corner. This is
almost on a line between the two
railroad depotsz and is crossed a
great deal by the city draymen
and others. The walk became
badly cut in time and on the
south side a great deep hole. was
made, and to shun this teamsters
began crossing the walk in vari-
Gus places and at unheard-of an
giles.
This was certainly a sad state
of affairs, but the authorities
were loath to take action in the
matter as it was supposed to be
on the property of the Southern
Pacific Co. This company. has
lumber of blocks adjacent the
depot building and it is general
ly understood that no streets ira
verse them. This being the pre-
vailing opinion, the street com
mittee and others were 1oath to
take any steps toward improve
ments.
We are reliably informed that
a number of Southern Pacific of
fcials were to arrive yesterday by
special car on the West Side ir
order to get in touch with affairs
along the line. According to oul
informant, while these official:
are here there will be meeting
between them and the city au
Ithorltiesland the matter Of whose
property is crossed by the wall
and whose duty it is to make th'
necessary Improvements will b.
discussed.
This is very gratifying and i
is putting it mildly to insinuat'
] that the time is now ripe for ac
[tion. In conclusion, it may b
stated that as the matter has stoot
heretofore no blame could be at
tached to anybody, distressing
las the condition has been. Sool
it will be different and this ba,
place fixed up in good shape.

Since the meeting of the first
cost of permanent roads is the
crucial part of the road problem,
that system of road law is best
which secures the most equitable
distribution of the burden of the
road improvement. State aid
with state supervision has been
adopted by nearly one third of
the states as the solution of cost.
Through this state aid very salts
factory results have been attain
ed. New. jersey. Massachusetts,,
Connecticut and New York have
given this policy thorough tests
and are rapidly, increasing their
state appropriations. Among the
other new features in road laws
that the bulletin notes are more
serviceable classi6cations of roads;
provisions for skilled superin-
tendence in the location, construc-
tion and continuous replir of

GOOD ROADS.
A Comprehensive Bulletin on the
Subject of Public Highways.

Tendencies in Recent Ameri-
can Road Legislation" is the title
of the new bulletin prepared by
the Department Of Economies
and Sociology of the State Uni
versity. The author shows that
satisfactory progress in the build
ing and maintenance of good
roads requires first of all an ap-
probation of what good roads
mean for the welfare of the peo-
pie and then the development of
such an organization of their re-
sources as will furnish road i'm
provement money and brains.
People must realize what they
have at stake ia IT, difference be-
tween good roads and bad roads
and then get such a system of
laws as will induce the largest
measure of effective effort in
building good roads.
Professor Young points out the
conditions that led to the most re-
markable awakening of the peo-
Eple of this county during the past
fifteen years to the interests they
have at stake in their public
roads. A great national move
ment has been organized. The
support of the general govern
ment in its Office Of Public Road
Inquiries has been enlisted. This
agency under Hon. Martin Dodge
is rapidly extending its work. 1t
is disseminating most helpful lit
lerature on road construction and
road laws, it is testing free ol
charge road material, and has
built sample object lesson roads
in nearly every state. The very
effective National Good Roads
Association is supported by about
half a dozen kindred national or.
ganizations. Every state proba
bly, and many sections of countie.
are organized to promote the cause
| of good roads.
! 1t is clear that laws that emin
ate from a movement OF sucl
spirit and. earnestness have signlt
i icance and are valuable as models
Having shown that the basi.
of our good road, movement lie:
in the farlreaching Importance t
a people or their roads and point
I ed out the fact that in the Ions
run good roads were not a viii
harder on the pocketbook OF th'
farmer than are. bad roads, Prof
Young goes carefully into th'
laws that have been the outcom.

Successful Institute.

The local teachers institute and
parents meeting arranged by Supt'
Denmau last Saturday brought asgoodly
number of teachers and parents together.
The program began with 5-minute
singing exercise by all present, with
Miss Edna Finley as accompanies. Prof.
[. E. Richardson, Of Corvallis Business
College, took up the subject Methods
in Arithmetic. . He believed in insist
ing on complete statement being made
and a full process. He said work slight
ingly done had better never be done. Ii
the child is thoroughly taught to give a
complete analysis, it will save review
work. If, after class has gone over a
given subject, and cannot pa2s the
necessary examination for promotion, ii
Is the fault of the method used.
Prof. S. W. Holmes gave an interest
ing talk OF ''School Organization; How,
What?" He said: In graded schools
the first thing on beginning is to have q
meeting with the Board. A teacher
should always 60 to the school house {

things for work; lay out plans so as te
put children to work at once; examine

Many New Boats Being Launched
in the kenosha Harbor and
Busy Season Promised
REMODELING PATHFINDER. "

About the busiest and one of the
most interesting places in and around
Kenosha these days are the yacht
docks at the Morgan club house.
Everything is hurry and hustle, the
big yacht pathfinder" is being over
hauled from one end to the other
under the supervision of Capt. I.
Barbour with full crew of men, and
it is stated, she will be in better con-
dition this year than she was the first
season she hoated. A great many of
the Chicago Yacht club boats and
the Milwaukee Yacht club boats find
their winter home on the yacht docks
at the Morgan club house.
The yachting season of 1905 in Ke-
nosha expects to be the most interest
ing ever experienced in or about our
harbor. The sailor boys are working
hard, so as to have their boats in COM
mission by July 1st. The large cutter
yacht ''Mirella, the flag ship of the
Kenosha fleet, owned and sailed by
Capt. Frank Jackson, is under going
number of improvements both to
her cabin and outside, on the Morgan
club docks. Capt. Jackson expects
to have her in the water some time
the coming week, and she is certainly
going to look very handsome.
There will be added to the Kenosha
fleet three new boats. The 42-foot
"Thetis,'' owned by Capt. "Doc. "
Ferry, is waiting her rigging and
'g1ad rags The 36-foot "Benny
Boy" owned and built by Capt. Ben.
Robinson and the cutter yacht ''Mar-
guerite," owned and built by Capt.
Bur- Ferry, are fast approa ching
completion, and will be sailing be-
fore the season is far advanced. All
of these boats mentioned have COM
modious cabins where the greatest
comfort can be had. All look for
great things from the new boats.
The ownership of the handsome
22-foot knock-about s'Mame" has
been transferred to Matt. Wade.
There will be several naptha launches
and smaller sailing boats in the feet
and the harbor will be gay place.
It is expected that many hot con-
tested events will be pulled off over
the course outside the harbor this
summer.

jury at Waukesha Finds Former
Nenosha Detective Guilty of
Forging a Note.
CoWIE FACES PRISON BARS.
His Conviction Will Probably Result
in His Big Suit Against Railway
Companies Being Dropped
for all Time.

Fred G. Cowie of Chicago, who
figured prominently in theI Kenosha
arson case and who has since figured
in several sensational suits in Keno
sha county was found guilty of forg-
cry at Waukesha Thursday evening
and is now facing long term of SER
vice in the Wisconsin state prison.
The attorneys for Cowie have made
motion for new trial in the case and
the arguments will be heard next
week. In the meantime the detective
has been released on bail. Cowie was
arrested several months ago on d
charge of uttering forged note for
the sum of $3.50. The name of DR..
G. A. Rice the father -in-1aw of Cowie
was alleged to have been forged to
the note and it is alleged that Cowie
negotiated it aud secured the money.
Cowie denied his guilt and the fight
over the case has been one of the
most holly contested legal battles
ever known in the state. The case
was given to the jury at noon yester-
day and after being out four hours
they brought in verdict finding the
detective guilty.
1t is asserted that Cowie and his
friends have arranged to take the
case to the supreme court if he is
denied a new trial in Waukesha
county. The action of the jury in
finding Cowie guilty of forgery will
probably result in Cowie's suit
against the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul road being dropped for all
time. More than a year ago Cowie
began an action in this county
against the Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul railway company to collect
the sum of twenty thousand dollars
which was alleged to be due to him
for professional services. The suit
was filled with sensations and in the
complaint leading officials of the ST,
Paul and other roads were placed in a
very undesirable light. At the time
of the arrest of Cowie on a charge of
forgery the suit was withdrawn from
the Kenosha circuit court with the
understanding that it would be
brought again as soon as Cowie had
cleared himself of the, charges
brought against him. It now looks as
if the suit might be delayed for many
years.
Cowie has been famous as a railway
detective for many years but his
greatest piece of work was one in
connection with the burning of the
plant of the Kenosha Bedding com
DanY.

made to be obeyed the better for all
concerned. No unreasonable demands
are made upon the bakers by the
state. All that is required is that
The shops be kept in perfectly sani-
tary condition and the great majority
Of the men in the business would do
that anyway without any compulsion

JOHNSON WITH THE MAJORITY
Kenosha and Racine County Senator
Votes for Rate Bill.

The Wisconsin State Senate last
night by unanimous vote passed the
bill to give the governor of the state
the right to appoint commission to
regulate railway rates. Senator
Johnson, of this district, was one of
the conservatives who assisted in
making the report of the committee
unanimous, and Senator Johnson
stated that while the bill did not fully
meet with his desires, it was his in
tention to vote for it and bring about
peace in the party if possible. Sena-
tor Whitehead made many efforts to
whip the bill into better shape by pro-
posing amendments, but they were all
voted down.
Railway managers who have
watched the progress of the bill in
sist that it will not stand in the
courts. There is no doubt but that
the senate bill will be passed by the
assembly and will be signed by the
governor.
