Is the state doing the wise thing

dance Of approximately 5000 pupils.

partments of our university were re-
moved from Madison and established
at other points in the state? The
students in the agricultural department
can have nothing in common with
those in the law, engineering and other
departments, and the converse of the
proposition is true, the law and engi
neeTing students can have nothing in
common with the the agricultural stu

as divergent as those taught in our
university is rot the wlsest thing to
do, neither is it the best thing for the

Total Amount to City From Week
OF Excitement Amounts to

THE POLICE STOP ONE GAME
Carnival People Claim That Week Was
a Losing One for Them and rents
are Shipped to Aurora
Early Sunday Morning

The Cosmopolitan Shows, putting on
kcnosha S third and probably last
street carnival folded their tents like
the Arabs and quietly slipped out of
kenosha during early Sunday morning
and the week of carnival in Kenosha
came to close at that time. From
a financial standpoint the city is lit
tie over 5000 to the good as result
OF the visit of the shows and they
fortunately all got out of the city with
out any serious accident or incident.
The week was disappointment to the
company and to the city as the records
now ON file with the First National
bank show that the business done by
the company was not nearly as large
as had been expected and in fact the
total receipts of the company during
the week as shown by the returns to
the bank were but $3,717.25 and from
this the five per cent allowed the city
gave the public bathing beach and the
public play ground the sum of $1S5.86.
In addition to this the city received
as 20 per cent of the concessions the
amount of $3.50 so that the total
amount to be divided between the two
funds is $20S.37. One or two shows
gave up on account of the bad business
in Kenosha and those which stuck the
week out claimed before leaving that
the week had been a losing week to
them. The shows were taken from
Kenosha to Aurora, ILL.,, where they
open this evening.
The receipts from the different nights
will probably be of interest to some
people who are figuring on carnivals in
the future. They are given by the
bank as follows:

| There were no serious accidents at
tending the holding of the carnival in
Kenosha, but late Saturday afternoon
a woman was thrown from the car on
the small railway line on Exchange
street and struck against the iron
street sign post. She was taken to
her home in carriage and Dr. A. Van
Westreinen who attended her stated
that she suffered slight internal in
juries. She gave her name as Mamie
Kuskonan and her residence as I'll
Grand avenue.
| One of the men connected with the
snake show was arrested for distur-
bance on Saturday afternoon and kept
in Jail until after the shows were out
of the city. The police did not have
a very strenuous. time of it, but on
Saturday night Chief of Police o Hare
closed up one Of the games running in
connection with the carnival. It was
the old padule wheel game and every
time the wheel turned and it turned
pretty often it netted the operators 70
cents in profit. This was a little too
strong for even Kenosha and the chief
ordered the men to remove the wheel.
However, they reaped golden harvest
before the wheel went down and out.
There was no objections made to any
of the shows presented by the company
but the main complaint was on the
fact that the institutions to be bene.
flied got such small percentage of
the receipts. The shows were brought
to Kenosha from Beloit and in that
city the fire department under whose
auspices the carnival was held received
ten per cent of the gross receipts.
No decision has as yet been made as
to what use will be made of the money
secured from the carnival but inciden-
tai expenses will probably demand the
expenditure of all of it in short time.

From the number of efforts that are
being made to improve sections of the
highways in widely separated parts of
the county it looks as if the time was
ripe for the organization of good
roads association GOV ering the county
as a whole. Such an organization
could do much more effective work
than can be done by the different
bands of neighbors working to improve
the roads in their own neighborhoods
for with county organization what
ever road building is done could be
done with an eye to the future and
while the men who raise money for
work in their own neighborhood would
get the dement's of their own enter
prise whatever improvements they
made would be made in such way as
to fit in with the general plan of road
improvement covering the whole county
which is coming in the near future
for just as soon as the legislature works
out the state aid for road building law
this county is going to take up high
way improvement work in earnest.

President Gomez happily shows him
self to be possessed of decision and
vigor sufficient to deal with emergen-
cies, SO far as it is possible for him to
do so. He has, as we have said, prac-
ideally forced the Congress to enact
some laws and would not have hesitat-
ed to enforce the budget by decree.
But, of course, it is not desirable for
the president to assume such an atti-
.tude toward the legislative department
of the government, and there is danger
that he will be censured by the worry
men who have compelled him to do so.
That is precisely what happened to
ESTRADA Palma. Congress refused to
enact indispensable laws; rather than
have the government paralyzed for lack
of them, he promulgated them by ex-
ecutive decree; and then the delinquent
congressman denounced him for usur-
ping the legislative prerogatives!
1t is much to be regretted that
Cuban politicians persist in pursuing
this course, for it is certain to in
jure the country and it is not I'M
likely to end in disaster. 1t is extra
ordinary, too, that men who have
learned the cost OIL freedom and self
government through years of conflict
should SO lightly esteem and so i'll
treat that which has been purchased
at so great price.-New York Tri-
bune.

The time allowed property owners by
the noxious weed commissioners to de,
stroy the weeds expired Sunday and it
is expected that the work of getting
rid of the weeds will be taken I'M in
earnest at once. The commissioners
were little late with their notice this
year and some of the earlier varieties
of the weeds and thistles have already
gone to seed, but there are enough left
to keep the commissioners busy for q
few days getting rid of them. The
work will be done at the expense Of
the property owners. The city street
commissioners Bernard Hermann and
Chas. Hollister, are also the noxious
weed commissioners and notice to
them from any citizen that there are
noXious weeds in the alleys or on
property in his neighborhood will
doubtless receive prompt attention.
Within the past few years well kent
lawns and fnc flower beds have become
the rple rather than the exception in
al sections Of the city and the proper.

their money to keep their places in

who care nothing for tho appearance Of

holdings. They are very foolish if
they submit them to be damaged when
they can force the dclinqaents to clean

Mayor Lays Last Brick in Completion

The pavement of Market Square was
ohclaily completed Monday noon
when Mayor NJ. j. Scholey laid the last
brick. 1t was a golden brick and the
mayor handled it carefully just as if
he was unfamiliar with the handling of
gold bricks" With the laying of
the brick the mayor made a short

paving was the best job ever done in

had been done by Kenosha contrac-

Episcopal Churches in Chicago
Unite To Build Big Home for
Children in kenosha
TO BE COMPLETED NEXT YEAR
Fashionable Women of Chicago to
Unite in Great Holiday Shop
to Raise Fund for Sisters
0r st. Mary's Work

A new and greater st. Mary's sum-
mer home for children is to be built
in Kenosna before the close of 1910
and the present home for children
I, which at this time is proven to be en-
tirely inadequate to take charge of the
little children of Chicago regarded as
wards of the Sisters of ST. Mary will
be torn down to give a site for the
erection of new, home which will be
able to accommodate more of the
children. The women Of the Episcopal
churches In Chicago and the surround
ing parishes have taken up the plan
for the buildlng of the new home and
in all the churches in Chicago on Sun
day announcement was made that the
churches would unite in giving a great
fair for the benefit of the home. The
fair is to take place in the ball room
Of the new LaSalle Hotel in Chicago
during the last week in November and
| it is expected that between $25,0
and $4,000 will be raised with the
one event. In addition to this contri-
buttons for the new home are now be-
Ing sought and many wealthy people of
Chicago and other cities who have
visited the Kenosha home during the
present season and who have seen the
demand for greater institution have
agreed to give literally to the support
of the work of the Sisters. The
Holiday Shops as the big entertain
ment for the children is to be called
will be the biggest event among the
society people of Chicago this year
and among the list of several hundred
women who have promised to aid in
the work are many of the best known
women in Chicago and the surrounding
cities and villages. Twenty-four par
ishes are included in the list of volun.
teers for the work and there is no
doubt but that the "Holiday Shops'
will be great success. Mrs. Royal
@, Villas is the general chairman and
organizer in charge of the details and
she will have for her assistants in
getting the work under way Mrs F.
Willis Rice, Mrs. William Ogden
Green, Mrs. Clinton Locke and Mrs.
Jonas Hutchinson. st. Matthew's
church IN this city will be asked to aid
in the work and there is no doubt but
that the people of Kenosha will give
literally toward the fund for the cree
ton of the new institution.
The summer home for children has
been one of the most successful of the
many lines of work done by the Sis
tiers of st. Mary. 1t has been main
tanned for more than ten years and
each year has shown large increase
in the number of children cared for at
the institution. For the most part
the cost of maintaining the home in
the summer has been borne by the peo-
pie of Kenosha and a few Chicago
people, but it is expected that with
the building of larger institution that
the cost of maintaining it will be in
a large measure shifted to the friends
of the work in Chicago.

The Northwestern Railway Company
has finally decided to pay its share of
the cost of paving the block on West
Main street between Prairie avenue
and South street. Under its contract
with the city it is said that the COM
pany can be held for half of the cost
of paving this street south to Strong
street from Prairie avenue, but II
there is any douot on this point it
would be well TO have it settled before
it is decided TO go ahead with the work
and if the property owners on the
street are wise they will see that iG
is before they agree to the paving.
The city does not want another Market
street case on its hands and the West
Main street people surely do not want
to get into position where they can
be held for the whole cost of the work.
