The plan of the city to purchase the
Bonds woods as park for the city
was reported on the committee stating
that the owners of the property had
set the price at $25, 1000 and the com
mittee stated that it regarded this price
as too high. The committee was given
further time to consider the matter but
the chances for the purchase of the
property for a park do not seem bright,
The street assessment committee was
directed to advertise for bids for the
construction of a sewer on Washing
ton street and for a short sewer on
North street and Lindermann Court and
the committee in charge of securing the
releases for the big trunk sewer was
directed to secure these releases at
once. People interested in the con
struction of the sewer have been asked
to aid in getting these releases.
After the usual routine business the
council adjourned to meet this morning
to consider the lease of property to the
Kenosha Electric Railway Company.

teen years old in another month but

SHOOT INTO STEAMER
Ridemen at Camp Logan Fire
Four Bullets Into City of
Marquette Tuesday
DECK HANDS NARROW ESCAPE

The steamer Getty of Marquette" Of
the Hill Boat Line has not been muster
ed in as one of the vessels of the United
States Navy, but at that the men who
make up the crew of the boat have
been under FIRE and they had narrow
escape. The boat was under fire Tues
day morning just after six O'Clock as
she was on her way to Kenosha from
Chicago. The boat was just passing
Camp Logan and was a mile out from
the beach when three shots evidently
fired by soldiers in rife practice at the
camp crashed through the bulwarks of
steamer and entered the cabin. They
were steel pointed bullets and it is
claimed that they came with force
enough through the cabin of the steamer
to Nil a passenger, had one been in
range One Of the deck hands on the
boat, the name of whom is unknown
10 the officials of the company, was in
range Of a bullet and the bullet pas
sed through his clothing but Fortunate
~ he escaped unscratched. The shoot
ing was going on at such an early hour
Of the nothing that 1t came as a sur
Prise to the men on the steamer as they
had not expected to be in range of the
bullets at that time Of the day. The
steamer after it had been hit by the
bullets went out into the lake and pass
ell the camp in safety
One Of the men at the Office of the
company in speaking Of the matter this
morning said, We feel that there is
grave danger to the steamers passing
/the camp as the rifles used there will
shoot to kill at distance Of two miles
and we regard the men on the boat as
vsrv fortunate to escape being hCrt, :"
The company win take no more
chances with anyone being hit and
Crp Logan will be given a, wide berth
in the future 1t is probable that a
formal complaint viii be filed with the
State of Illinois in an effort to have
more caution used in rifle practice. The
effect of the bullets on the Marquette
shows that every steamer that passes
the camp close in toward the beach
would be in danger.

AIlis, the son of Louis Allis, member
of the Milwaukee Country club. Ned

cups and the youngster went under
DOGGY to do the trick.
Since that time, he has been abroad
but has been playing in France when
not in school and although the Mil
woukee Country club people are keep
ing silent as to the development of his
game, it is certain that he is being
groomed for the title.

NANT ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION
]. L. sizer Sounds the Key Note of
the Fight of His Party at County
Convention in Kenosha On Tuesday
Afternoon

The Rev j. L. Sizer one time pastor
Of the Methodist church in the village
of Bristol sounded the call for war
against the local option proposition
among the Prohibitionists and urged
them to stick to the beliefs Of their
own party at the closing session Of
the kenosha County Prohibition party
at the court house Monday afternoon
and he made it Clear that the Prohibi-
tion party in Wisconsin is going to
stand for Prohibition and against To-
cal option. He said in part during his
discussion of the liquor question.
Taking advantage of the present To-
cal option discussion, the friends OF
the Liquor Traffic have projected into
the legislature of Ohio a bill asking
that Sunday baseball should be local
option question. This involves the
fourth commandment, and if the
fourth commandment may be sub
nitted to a. vote of the people, why
not the rest of the decaloguo or any
portion thereof? Another trend of 10
cal option is I should say, that the
logical outcome of local option is
home rule for cities, which to our minds
is a most dangerous political heresy.
The proof that this is already con
tempIated is found in the inaugural adj

ENLARGE PRESENT BUILDING
Board of Education in Special Meeting
Names Teachers and Takes Up CUES
ton of a Few More New School
Buildings.

The Board Of Education at a special
meeting held at the office of the City
superintendent of schools on Tuesday
evening elected William H. Kuntz of
LaSalle, Illinois as head of the com
merical department Of the Kenosha
high school and Mr. Kuntz will as
sumo the duties of his new position
with the opening Of the school year.
The new department head is man Of
wide experience in this line Of work.
He is Wisconsin man and graduate
of the University Of Wisconsin but for
d. number Of years he has been at the
head of the commercial department of
the LaSalle-Peru joint high school, one
Of the largest high schools in Illinois.
He has had practical experience in bust
ness lines as during the last two years
he has served in the capacity of auditor
of the city in which he has been teach
ing. With the election of Mr.. Kuntz
the teaching force for the commercial
department is completed and the new
department will be decidedly valuable
one to the city school system.
The board prepared and sent to the
council the annual budget for the com
ing year which will be found in an
other column and the remainder of the
time of the commissioners was taken
up with the discussion of plans for new
school buildings. 1t seems that there is
already a demand for a new school but
ras the present buildings are situated in
the centers of the population of the
city the board has discussed a plan of
building additions to the present build
ings rather than building one new
building. 1t is thought that some plan
for the building of additions will be
made during the present summer and
that the work on these additions will
be started early next year in order to
have them completed by the first of the
school year of 1911-1912 One of the
members of the board in speaking of
the matter this morning said: ut is
the same old problem of the School
Board. There is not room enough to
take care of the children The school
census which will be completed within
few days will show a vast increase
in the number Of school children and
we will be forced to make some provis-
ion to give all of the children an equal
chance to get their education. At the
present time there are schools in all the
school centers Of the population of the
city and yet we are forced to admit
that more room is needed'
The board completed the work Of
filing out the force of teachers by
electing several new grade teachers
who will begin their work with the
opening of the school year.

Stanbridge Charged With
Cutting Ed. Walsh is Held
Under Bond of $4,000
WILL DEMAND EXTRACTION

Joseph Stanbridge arrested on a
charge of making murderous assault
on Edward Walsh Camp Logan
soldier at the Nienabler saloon at the
state line, after a fight over the vic
tory of Jack johnson at Reno was ar
raigned on fugitive warrant before
Police Magistrate Swartz at Winthrop
Harbor on Tuesday afternoon and held
under bonds of $4,000 pending an ap-
plication to Governor Charles S. Den
cen of Illinois for extradition papers.
Irwin Seybolt who was arrested with
Stanbridge was released it being shown
concIusively that he had no part in the
cutting. Walsh is still at the hospital
at Camp Logan and it is declared that
it may be several weeks before the
surgeons caring for him will be certain
as to his recovery He is badly wound
ed. Stanbridge has lived at Winthrop
Harbor for the past seven years and
has been employed as foreman in one
of the factories there He declared to
the officers that the only weapon he
had was a cork screw but it is GER
tain that Walsh was not cut with a
cork screw. Walsh lives between Zion
City and Waukegan and is member
of the Illinois National Guard.
After his arrest Stanbridge secured
the advice Of an attorney and after this
he refused to accompany Sheriff Will
liam II. Gunter back to Kenokha for a
hearing on the charges against him and
it is understood that he will make a
hard fight against extradition. At Win
throp Harbor it is claimed that Stan
bridge at one time shot a negro but
this is vigorously denied by the de-
PENDANT. Needles the other man cut in
the ARRAY was not seriously injured.
The affair caused a great sensation at
Winthrop HarbQr and hundreds of peo-
pie gathered about the office of the
magistrate on Tuesday when Stan
bridge was brought from the lookup for
a hearing. He has not yet furnished
the bond demanded and is being held
in the village lookup.

a letter from Henry Behrend chief of
the police department at Lansing,
Mich, asking that efforts be made to
locate r. Grant, alias Frank Gray, sup
posed to be a Kenosha man who is

lice are making every possible effort to

Screenings hotel at Silver Lake had
baptism Of fire on Monday as a re-
suit of the celebration of the Fourth
of July and it was only through the
hard work Of lot of summer visitors
that the hotel was saved The fire
started under the steps leading to the
porch of the hotel and was caused by
some one throwing fire cracker under
the steps. The flames spread rapidly
but the summer resorters were called
from the hotel and from the other re-
sorts in the neighborhood and with the
aid of hand pump water was pumped
from the lake and the fire extinguished
with loss of less than a hundred dol
lars A minute after the flames had
been extinguished the piston of the
pump broke. Had it broken a few
minutes earlier there is little doubt but
that the hotel would have been reduced
to ashes.

PLAN FOR ANOTHER BUILDING
Finance Committee of the Board of
Education Estimates the Cost of the
Schools for Year at Something Over
100000.

The finance committee of the Board
of Education of the city has filed with
the city clerk and the common council
the annual demand for appropriations
for the maintenance Of the schools dur
ing the coming year and the amount
asked is the largest in the history Of
the city in year when a new school
building has not been built. The esti-
mated cost Of the operation Of the
schools for the coming year is placed
at $103,700 and Of this amount the
sum of 1896 is to be raised by the
city. The amount asked for mainten-
ance last year was $4,000 and the de-
mand for next year is an increase of
more than one third. 1t is stated in
the communication of the Board of
Education that the demand for a new
school must be met and partial pro-
vision for the new building will be
made next year by setting aside fund
of $4,000 with the idea of building
the new school in 1912. 1t was stated
that with the opening Of the schools
it will be necessary to open either two
basement rooms or to rent a building
in order to take caret of the large num-
Der Of children. The council is power
less to act any way except favora.bly on
the report as under the state law the
Board Of Education can make this de-
mand and it is up to the council to
meet it. The demand is now in the
hands of the finance committee Of the
common council and this committee will
hold a session with the Beard Of Edu-
cation and seek to have the amount
reduced. The estimated receipts and
expenditures of the board for the wear
are given as follows:

Who Says So?
They All Say So!

Medical authorities all over the
country attach great Importance to
the agency of flies as spreaders of
typhoid and other disease germs
The following assertions will give
some idea of the interest that this
question is arousing: Flies not
only become nuisances, but they are
to large extent carriers of disease.
They fly from the polluted places
in which they breed to the faces,
mouths and noses of sleeping in
fants, and from thence to men,
women and children. By these
means they become the undoubted
carriers of disease. In the near
future one of the new departments
of the newer medical science will
busy itself with the removing of the
manure heap, the house-Hy and other
insect pests. DIR. G. w. Coler,
Health officer, Rochester, N. Y.
I'VE have records of several in
stances where typhoid fever was
unquestionably transmitted by flies.
Much of our data leads me TO be-
lieve that it is more frequently car
ried by flies than in any other way"

Board Of Health.

some time that the greater part of
our typhoid fever comes more from
the activity of the common house

Laboratory of Hygiene, Atlanta, Ga.
81 quite agree with the opinion of
those authorities who maintain that
the fly is one of the most common
disseminators of typhoid infection.
think that one of the most impor

sanitarians at present is to educate
the public TO the danger from flies.
