NEW Law RECEIVED
Clerk of the Circuit Court Gets Copy of
New Naturalization Law

Clerk of the Circuit Court Gets Copy of
New Naturalization Law
Clerk Of the Circuit Court Frank
Waldo has at last received from the
of commerce and labor
copy of the new law in regard to the
naturalization Of aliens and it will be
left at the office of the clerk for in
spection by interested parties. The
changes from the old law have nearly
all been noted in the past, but some
statements that have been given out
are found to be incorrect,
One of these is as to the cost of
naturalization. Under the new law
the fee for the issue of first papers is
changed from 75c to ST. and the fee
for second papers is placed at 81.
Half of each fee goes to the clerk of
court while the remainder is forwarded
to the department of commerce and
labor. One change in the law is found
in the fact that second papers must
be taken out within seven years after
the issue of the first papers.

SALOON WAS ROBBED.
Unknown men Enter Saloon Of
Charles VIII on Market Square
Wednesday Evening
CARRY OFF WET GOODS

It is evident that the band of burg
lars working III Kenosha fear that the
law and order league recently organ
lied in the city will put an end to the
saloon business and in order that they
might not be left without supply of
the wet goods these men broke into
the saloon of Charles VIII on Market
square last night or this morning
and managed to get away with 20
full quarts of whiskey and 10 boxes
of cigars. The police have no clue
TO the identity Of the men guilty of
the burglary.
According to the story told to the
police the saloon was closed at II
o'clock last night and the burglary
was discovered when the bar keeper
went down to open up for business
this morning. The men had made
an entrance to the saloon by cutting
out back window of the building.
The ak with which the window had
been cut out was found in the alley
back of the saloon few feet from
the window. Just how the men man
aged to rob the place without being
seen by some Of the police officers or
merchant police is the problem that
is bothering the chief Of the depart
ment. So far as can be learned no
suspicious characters were seen about
the place during the evening and
when the bartender locked up last
night he carefully locked the windows
in the rear Of the saloon. He feels
certain that there was no one in the
building when he closed the doors for
the night. The men evidently were
pretty well acquainted with the
saloon as they went directly to the
case where the best brands of whiskey
were kept and made a careful selec.
ton. The whiskey taken was all of
the better grade and the cigars
showed the same careful selection.
The ak with which the window was
broken out is now in the hands of the
police and with this as clue they
hope to be able to locate and arrest
the burglars. From the manner in
which the entrance to the saloon was
made it is thought that the burglary
was committed by the same parties
who have attempted to enter other
places in the business district.

School Census Of the City Com
pleted Shows Large Increase
10 Number of Children
POPULATION FIGURED AT 7O43
Third Ward is Shown to Have the Most
School Children, but the Fifth is
Close second-Many in Paro-
chia1 Schools

Former School Commissioner Frank
r. Jacoby Wednesday completed the
work of making the annual school
census Of the city of Kenosha, and the
report, which has been filed with the
city superintendent of schools, shows
that the number of school children ia
the city and in the joint districts of
Pleasant Prairie and Somers has
grown emendously during the last
year. The total number of school
children enumerated was 6,085, and of
this number 1881 were living within
the corporate limits of the city of Ke-
nosha. Figuring population on ra-
ito of three people for each child of
school age, the population of the city
would be 1908, a few hundred in ex-
cess of the number reported by the
enumerators at the time of sthe taking
of the last state census.
The report shows that the Third
ward is the largest in the city SO far
IS the number of schools children is
concerned. This ward shows total
of 1,216 children between the ages of
four and twenty years. The Fifth
ward was second with total of 1899
children of school age. The number
of children in the First ward :was the
smallest reported b. the enumerator,
the total in this ward beingfon1y 274.
The report shows that thesmales are
in the predominance, as.ssthe total
he Nf -
the two joint school districts is placed
at 8, $50, while the number of females
is 1862. When the last report was
made the females wee in the major
ity. One interesting feature of the
report is the showing of the work
done by the different parochial
schools, as total OF 1,167 children
received education in thessparochia1
schools during the past year. This IS
half as many as attended.the different
public schools IN the city.
The great growth of children in the
western part Of the city shows that in
the near future there will be decided
demand for new school building in
that part of the city. The growth in
the mum Der of children is shown to be
especially large in both the Fourth
and Fifth wards, but the Fifth ward
will show larger proportionate in
crease than any other in the city.
The figures for the different wards,
showing the number of males aud
females between the ages of and 90
years, and the number of children
attending the parochia1 schools in the
towns and wards are as follows:

SEEKS AN INJUNCTION
President of Lake Forest University
Would Stop the Coming ofC. & M.

President of Lake Forest University
Would Stop the Coming Of c. & M.
Wednesday in circuit court, Alfred
L.Raker, president Of Lake Forest
University, started an action against
the Chicago and Milwau xee Electric
Railroad company by which the uni
yersity seeks to have the court issue a
permanent injunction preventing the
company from laying tracks along
certain land in the city of Lake
Forest.
The bill sets forth that the uni
versity owns the west 80 feet of the
lots 155, $50, 157 and that they
wish to prevent the company laying
tracks along that street in accordance
with the provisions of the franchise
recently secured by the company from
the city.
This, is is believed, is the first ac-
ton of the Lake Forest people who
oppose the franchise, some of whom
have made threats that they would
take legal action against it.

IT is only fair to Capt. William M.
Lewis. of Racine, to say that there
was not particle of evidence pro-
duced at the investigation into the
killing of William Dreyer, held be-
fore Justice Sturges Wednesday
afternoon, that could connect him
with the unfortunate affair in any
way. Captain Lewis appears to have
been the victim of circumstances. 1t
happened that he was in Kenosha on
the night Of the killing, and the
movements Of his machine were in
vestigated by the police, just as were
the movements Of every other auto
mobile the authorities could get track
of, bat his business ard social stand
ing made him unduly prominent in the
affair and resulted in a good deal 81

THERE is hint from headquarters
that raise in rates may be expected
to follow the move of the telephone
company into its new building. There
is nothing surprising in thai, for it
was only to be expected that higher
rates would follow the consolidation
of the companies, but the monopoly
should have the decency to demon
strate its ability to give satisfactory
service from its new quarters before
putting on the screws. Most te1e-
phone subscribers are paying too
much now for the service they are
getting, and it would be an outrage to
make them pay more unless the SER
vice is greatly improved.
