Officials Of Park Avenue M. E,
Church Unanimously Ask for
the Pastors Return
NEW OFFICERS ARE ELECTED
Annual Reports of the Church Show
That the Congregation is in a
Splendid Condition After
Year of Church Building

There will be no change in the pas
tor of Park Avenue M. E. church for
the coming year, as at the quarterly
conference of the congregation held
on last Saturday night the trustees OF
the church unanimously requested
Presiding Elder Lean for the return
lot the Rev. w. w. Stevens to the
church, and Mr.. Stevens, having been
advised of the action of the confer.
ence, expressed desire TO return to
the church for another year. The
action was the most ur animous
ever taken in regard to the return of a
minister and it is very certain that the
appointing power of the conference
will grant the wish of the pastor and
the people.
The conference was the last for the
church year and the reports of the
various officers showed that the
church and congregation were in
splendid condition. The action of the
conference in asking for the return of
Mr.. Stevens will have the endorse
ment of every member of the congre-
cation, and any effort on the part of
the officers of the church to change
pastors will meet with decided OPP
position from the people of the Keno
sha church. While Mr.. Stevens has
been IN charge of the Kenosha con-
gregation for more than five years, he
is one of the most popular ministers
ever stationed at the church by the
conference, and his work has been
such that there is strong bond be-
tween him and the people of Keno
sha. Members of other churches will
be glad to second the demand of the
members of Park Avenue church for
the return Of Mr.. Stevens for another
year. At the meeting on Saturday
evening the following church officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
Trustees-Robert Symmonds, James
Bailey, E. L. Grant, z. G.. Simmons,
Jr., DR.. G. H. Ripley, E. L. Shippee,
John F. Gail, A. Van Westreinen and
L. H. Holbrook.
Stewards-E. L. Grant, A. B. Ames,
J. r. Proctor, Frank Symmonds, O. A.
Mcneil, A. T. Decker, 7. T. Parker,
Joseph Barnes, J. w. DeCou, F. ].
Bradley, H. H, Maddox, Charles Tur-
mock, Alfred Bounsa1l.
District Steward-T. T. Parker.
Recording Steward-E. L. Grant.
Class Leader. w. Huff.
Delegate to the Electoral Confer
ence-Chester Ozanne.
The conference also named the va
rious church conitteees and these
will be announced to the members of
the congregation at the church ser
vices on Sunday.

with the city for damages demanded
for injuries received through such
walks was brought up by Mayor Cor
man and discussed at length, but the
city attorney could see no way by
which the city could enforce such a
law without the city getting a new
charter. 1t was admitted that such
law would aid materially in keep
ing the walks of the city in better con-
dition and the matter is to be taken
up again at a future meeting of the
Council. The discussion was brought
about by the recommendation of the
committee on claims that the claim of
Roy Yule against the city for injuries
received by fall on Park street be
settled for $11O. Ynle had asked for
5000, but the settlement was satisfac-
tory to him and to his attorney.
The Council decided to repaint the
roofs of all the engine houses in the
city and bids for the work will be ad-
vertised for. The contract for re-
painting The bridges of the city was
let to Charles Hansen and the work
will be done at once. For the pro-
lection Of automobile drivers the
Council decided on the erection of a
concrete protection at the east end of
English court. 1t is claimed that the
street comes to an end so suddenly
that there is danger of people driving
into the lake if they are not acquaint-
ed with the condition of the street.
The pauper committee was given an
appropriation of $500 for theexpenses
in caring for the poor of the city.
No Action on School Bonds
The Council received the commune
cation from the Board of Education
asking that the Council provide for a
bond issue of fifty thousand dollars
for the erection of the proposed Third
Ward school and the matter was re-
ferred to the finance committee.
There was no discussion during the
Council meeting but several of the
aldermen expressed themselves after
the meeting as favora bic to the bond
issue. It seems that this would be
better for the city than a large ap-
preparation for the building. The
committee will report on the matter
at the next regular meeting and it is
possible that some action will be taken
at that time.
There was the usual amount Of
routine work. Property owners on
Ridge street are anxious to have the
line for sidewalks changed on that
street between Prairie avenue and
Park street and the Council will go as
a committee of the whole to look into
the matter on next Sunday afternoon.

LOSSESON THE LAKES
Two Hundred and Fifty Lives
Lost on the Great Lakes Dur.
ing the Year 1906
SUPERIOR HEADS THE LIST

No less than $50 lives were lost on
ers during the season of navigation
in 1906, and no less than 229 vessels
met with casualty. These are the
figures reported by the United States
weather bureau, copies of whose me-
theological charts just issued for the
year in question have been received.
Of the 229 vessels, damaged to a
greater or less extent, forty-nine
were total losses.
The monetary loss for the season
was $2,043,850, appropriated as fol-
lows: Total losses, 81, $50, $50; partial
losses, 1912, 900. The aggregate loss
was greater than in any season of the
twelve years up to and including 1906
for which data are given, except in
1905, when shipping was destroyed in
whole or in part to the amount of 3d.
O55, 25O
In no other season of the twelve did
the figures reach 100000 although
in 1895 they fell under that sum to the
extent Of only $31, 172.
/ A &C nparison of the seasons cas-
ualties shows that the greatest loss on
any of the lakes was $6o1, 900 on SUI
perior. Erie followed with $428, 600;
Huron ranked next, with $412,O00;
Michigan was fourth, with 1924, 500;
Ontario's record was $34, 900, and on
the connecting rivers losses we're sus-
tanned amounting to $153, $50. The
total loss and damage to vessel prop
erty due to fog was $663, 400, and the
greatest amount in any month was
$217, 1000 in June, casualties in that
month from that cause being especial
ly numerous on the 18th, 10th and
18th. Fogs were responsible for losses
Of Sol, 1000 N August and for losses of
SIS, 900 in May. The figures for the
other months follow: September, $53,
500; November, $50, 500; July, $4,000;
April, $4,000; October, $24, 700; De-
cenlber, $4,000. Huron was more SUE
ject to fogs than any other lake, the
looses recorded on that body of
water under that head aggregating
$4,000 or almost so per cent of the
total fol all the lakes and connecting
rivers. The losses due to fog or Lake
Ontario was only $500; on Superior,
$47, 900; Erie, $4,000; Michigan. $780,
500, and on the rivers 500, 500. The
greatest loss from stress of weather,
amounting to SAL, $50, occurred in
December.

FOR RECORD YEAR
Kemper Hall to Open With Large At
tendance on Next Wednesday


Kemper Hall will open for the new
year on next Wednesday and the
Sisters in charge Of the school are
convinced that the new year will
break all records for attendance at the
hall. Nearly every room has already
been engaged and it is possible that
the Sisters will find it hard matter
to take care of ali of the students
coming. The young women will be-
gin to arrive on Monday but the regu-
lar school work will not start until
Wednesday morning.
The usual number of changes have
been made at the hall during the sum-
mer months. Many of the rooms have
been redecorated and other improve
ments have been made. The campus
of the school is now being enlarged
by the Improvement Of the property
south of Seminary street which was
bought by the Sisters year ago.
There have been few changes in the
faculty at the school this year and
the teaching force will be practically
the same as it was last year.

WANT CHANGES IN CHURCH
May Ask That Bishops Be Not Changed
From One District to Another

May ASK 1uaC BISHOPS be NOT changed
From One District to Another
Wisconsin Methodists favor radical
changes in the rules and constitution
governing the church and the West
Wisconsin conference at Lacrosse
tits week and the Wisconsin confer
ence at Milwaukee next week, may
adopt resolutions which will be SUBJ
mitted as memorials to the general
conference. Among the most import
ant changes favored is the adoption
of diocese arrangement throughout
the country. Under the present sYs-
tenn Methodist bishops are sent from
place to place and very seldom are at
the same conference twice. It is
argued by friends of the amendment
that dioceses should be organized,
and that bishops should remain at
work IN the same field, thus having
the advantage of acquaintance with
the situation and the needs of that
territory. Another constitutional
amendment is the plan to adopt race
bishoprics. having bishops for the
various nationalities in the church.

RAILWAY MAY DO sPRINKLINI;
Electric Sprink1ine Wagon Could Do

Electric Sprink1ing Wagon Could Do
Work for the City at Saving
Some Of the members of the Com
mon Council are figuring on having
the streets of the city sprinkled by
the Kenosha Electric Railway COM
pany and President Frost will be
asked to put in bid for this work in
the spring of next year. With the
electric sprink1ing car it would be an
easy matter for the company to
sprinkle all the streets of the city on
which car lines have been laid. I'm
der the franchise the company is
forced to sprinkle it's own tracks and
the sprinkler that is being used will
throw a stream of water the full
width of the street. 1t is claimed
that the car sprinkler will do the
work better than it is possible to have
it done with a sprinkling wagon and
it is thought that the company would
agree to do the work at a great saw
ing to the property owners. 1t pos
sible that the plan would be opposed
by some of the taxpayers who are in
terested in the work, but many Of the
members of the Council favor the
plan.

WREcKING CREW AT WORK
Divers Begin Work of Raising Sunken
Hulk of Sandscow I'll. A. Root

49,
Wreckers from Milwaukee started
work this morning to raise the hulk of
the sandscow H A. Root, which sank
in the Kenosha harbor a week ago
yesterday. The job promises to be a
very difficult one. Great chains are
being placed under theahu1k of the
boat and it is plannedS to raise her
with hosting machines.
Divers we're at work in the rain this
morning arranging the chains and it
is thought that the boat will be re-
moved from the harbor before the end
of the present week. The hulk will
be towed to Milwaukee and placed in
dry dock for repairs. The divers who
have examined thes boat state that she
is not badly damaged and that it will
be possible to float her. Most of the
damage to the scow was on the upper
decks.

"Victoria SOUP"

1t was ~Francatelli. the famous cook
of Queen Victoria in early Victorian
days, who used to observe casually,
when serving a certain soup: This
was the only soup the queen would
ever eat while ! had the honor of
being in her majesty's service"
Fr%ancatelli's recipe for what he called
"Victoria soup" is said to produce q
delicious and nourishing form of what,
in homely kitchens, would be known
as veal broth. To make it, simmer
half a pound of pearl barley for two
hours in three pints of good veal
stock. When the barley is quite soft
and dissolved. take out one-third of
1t n a pan to keep hot, while the
remainder is passed through a fine
oolander. Then put the PURGE back
into h whole barley. add half 4
pint of cream. season, reheat and
serve. Mace, onions and cloves in
troduced into the stock before the
barley is added improve the flavor.
