PARISH HOUSE FOR
TRINITY CHURCH IS
AN ASSURED. FACT
Rev. Louis Shreve Osborne
Much Gratified by Realization
OF Dream of Many Years.

1t was officially announced by the
Rev. Louis Shreve Osborne. rector of
Trinity Church, at the services yester-
day, that the parish house, which had
been his dream for many years, would
soon become a fact, as the plans for the
buildings were being prepared by a New
York firm of architects. n would prob
ably be ready on Tuesday, February 8.
when a smoker would be held in the
chapel. in Rector street.
The smoker, the rector said, would
also serve in all likelihood to mark the
last services in the chapel, as 1t is to
be torn down in a few weeks to make
room for the parish house.
Mr.. Osborne said that there was MOTH
ing which would give him more pleas
ure than the construction of the new
building, as it will provide d place that
has been needed for many years for
the people of the Trinity Church, as
they had no parish house where the
members of the congregation could
meet for social intercourse. He de-
clared il had been his dream for the
twenty years that he had been the rec
tor of the church. and it's realization
filled his heart with joy.
The services in the church yesterday
marked the annual missionary Offering,
which amounted to $1.595. which is
nearly 5000 more than the church is
assessed by the diocese for the sup
pert of foreign and domestic missions.
1t is expected hat the sum will be con-
siderably increased before the end of
the week.
The interior of the church and chan
Gel Yesterday were profusely decorated
~AsAh palms in honor of the ~rector's
twentieth anniversary. Among those
who attended the services were many
of the former pensioners from Sum-
NIT, Chatham, madison and other sub-
urban towns, who came especially to
assist.
At the conclusion of the exercises the
rector received the congratulations of
those present, who lauded him for his
splendid work during his rectorate. He
was also the recipient of a handsome
white stole from the parishioners. and
at the Sunday school in the afternoon
the teachers gave a traveing-bag.
Mr.. Osborne went to Atlantic City to-
day. and will be away about ten days.

ICE IN LAKE is GOING
Less in Lake Michigan Than Year AGO
Says Government Report

In comparison with the same period
last year, the ice in the harbors of
Superior is heavier, but the fields of
the lake are not as extensive, accord
ing to the weekly ice bulletin of the
weather bureau. There is less ice re-
ported in Lakes Michigan and Huron.
and about the same in Lakes Erie and
Ontario.
There are no material changes in the
ice in st. Mary's river. In Green Bay.
the ice has softened during The last
week, and the snow is melting rapidly.
In Lake Michigan the ice fields have
moved off from the west shore, but are
reported along the east shore from
Michigan City north to the straits.
st. Clair river is open to Marine CITY
and the ice in Lake st. Clair is soften
ing and open water is appearing. The
Detroit river is open to Lake Erie.
If the ice continues to disappear as
it has done, it is expected that little
will be in existence at the opening of
navigation.

OLD PLAN BEING REVIVED
Plan to Build wireless Stations Along
the Lake Again Being Talked About

The old scheme of building a num-
Der of wireless telegraph stations at the
various ports along Lake Michigan is
being revived again and men were in
Kenosha on Thursday looking up the
matter. These men of course expect
that the people of Kenosha who have
money to invest will put it into the
scheme and it is probable that the re-
ception of this new bunch of promo
tiers will not be any more cordial than
that received by former punches.
These agents have been at work in
Waukegan and Racine and it is said
that some stock have been sold in those
cities. .Kenosha capitalists seem to be
little leary of the wireless and for
this reason it is not very probable
that any station will be opened here
at this time.

The health officers are to start out
on thorough inspection of back alleys
and vacant lots in a few days now so
if you know that there should be some
cleaning up done around your property
you had better get at it before you
receive any notice from the officials.
With a special officer devoting all of
his time to the work of the health de
partment it is expected that the reg
ular spring cleaning up this year will
be the most complete the city has held
in some years and that by the time
it is finished the sanitary condition of
the city viii compare favorably with
that of any city in the state. The
appointment of an assistant health Of
fcer was largely in the nature of an
experiment and it has so happened
that he has had little chance to demon
strate his usefulness to the people of
the city SO far in the line of the rou-
tine duties of the health Office but he
will prove of real value to the city
should he succeed in forcing the clean
ing up of every disease breeding alley
in the city.

SEEK TO DEPORT MAN
j. Kacanowski Stricken With Paralysis
After Short Residence in County

County Clerk Russell Jones has ap-
pealed to the state board of control
to take up the question of the deporta-.
ton of John Kacanowski, a foreigner
residing on Fremont avenue who is
suffering from paralysis. 1t is claim
ed that the man is entirely disabled
and has been in this condition for
more than two months. The man came
to this country only four months ago
and was stricken shortly after reach
ing Kenosha. At the present time he
will probably be a charge upon the
county. Many of these cases are
brought to light in Kenosha and Coun-
ty Agent Jones is anxious to have the
state board of control take up the
matter and if possible have a prece-
dent set for the handling of such
eases.

POSTMASTER rs WORRIED
Looks as if the Office May be Forced to
do Business on Market Square

Postmaster Maloney is worried on
account of the many delays in eonnec-
ton with the completion of the new
postoffice building and it is beginning
to look as if it may be necessary for
the Office to do business on Market
Square. The lease of the present
building expires on July 4th and it
will not be renewed and it is under
stood that the government will have
to vacate at the expiration of the
lease. The work on the new build
ing is far from finished and in facs
the work of putting up the marble in
the building has just been started.
The marble men declare that it will
take thirty days to get the material
to Kenosha and then there will be
lot Of work to be done before the
building is turned over for the use
of the postmaster. Postmaster Ma
loney is doing all in his power to rush
the work and his efforts are being
vigorously seconded by the contractors
but it seems to be impossible to rush
the eastern companies who are supply
ing some of the materials for the build

Kenosha Co., Board Must, In
der State Law, Appoint Co.,
Highway Commissioner
IMPROVE HIGHWAYS IN COUNTY

The county board of supervisors at
the next session may be called upon
to appoint county highway commits
sioner as required by law enacted
by the state legislature in 1907. The
attention of members of the county
board has been called to the law and
they appreciate the fact that such
commissioner is needed in Kenosha
county and that the county board
must make such appointment.
The law requires that county boards
Of the state must appoint such com
missioners for a term of three years
The law allows an annual salary to be
fixed by the board, or such county
highway commissioner can receive not
less than $3.50 nor more than 81 a
day for each days service and in ad-
dition he is entitled to expenses.
It is the plan to have the several
county boards designate system of
prospective county highways to ex-
tend into every town in the county
and shall constitute continuous lines
of highway as nearly as may be prac-
ticable In Kenosha county it would
be the plan to improve a highway from
Kenosha through to the west limits of
the county and also highway from
the north to south limits.
In some portions of the county little
money would have to be expended to
improve the highways, but in the
towns of Pleasant Prairie, Salem and
Bristol considerable amount would
have to be expepQed because of the
condition Of the roads in the spring
and fall. Statistics show that Keno
sha county has expended less money
in making macadam or gravel roads
than many other counties in the state
and despite the fact that in the county
there are gravel pits, where materials
could be obtained at small cost, to
improve the highways.

The government crusade against the
houseAy is to be kept up with unre-
hitting vigor and the first sign of the
coming of the household pest will be
the signal for a bonlbardment of bull
letins prepared by the experts Of the
government service giving the lists OF
the diseases the flies are charged with
spreading and the recipes which have
proven the most effective in killing off
the insects. Most people seem to re-
gard this government campaign against
the housefy as something of a joke,
but the department of agriculture is
prepared to furnish facts and figures
to support every charge it makes It
will never be able to accomplish great
deal along the line of discriminating
the househy, however, until it's efforts
are taken more seriously than they are

The manner in which that saloon re-

the council, or rather the manner IN
which it is not being handled, is the
best campaign material the no-license
people have gotten hold of yet end it
is needless to say they are using It for
all it is worth. The case shows the
brewery agents in their capacity as
masters of the city running things to
suit themselves in open defiance of
the law and the spectacle is making

garded the no4license campaign with
easy tolerance as not likely to affect
them much one way or another do q

City Treasurer Steinmetz has finish
ed his work and his books are ready
to be turn ed over to the county treas
surer. AS was feared when the un-
precedented tax levy of this year was
made the de linquent list is heavier than
ever before in the history of the city
and an insp ection of the list of de-
linquents shows that it was the small
err tax payers of the city who were UNI
able to meet the payments in time and
who will either have to pay the heavy
costs assessed for their failure to make
good with the city treasurer or lose
their holdings. The predicament in
which these people who are struggling
to get ahead now find themselves
through no fault of their own does not
seem to call for any further comment
at this time. They have their oppor
tunity to remedy the conditions which
it about but it remains to be
seen how they viii use it.

been "unjust" to the saloons because
we have advocated the enforcement of
the law and the revocation of the Ii
cense of saloonkeeper who pleaded
guilty to selling liquor to minor and
never have Fgone AFTER the drug
stores where drinks Of every kind are
sold even to minors without any ques-
tion.' We do mot know what evi-
dence the writer has to support his
charges against drug stores, but if he
has any We hope that he will bring it
forward and we will give him or any
other saloon man every assistance in
our power in prosecuting any drug
store man guilty of the practices
charged to the limit of the law. Tt
is time this matter was brought to a
head and something done about it.
There are constant reports that some
of the drug stores are doing a regular
retail liquor business and selling to
minors and the authorities should in
vestigate and find out whether or not
they have any foundation in fact. If
they can get any evidence their duty
is plain and clear And if the au-
thorities are lax the saloon men them
selves should take the matter up and
make fight against this illegal liquor
traffic for their own protection. This
selling to minors is the dirtiest, low
est crime in the list and no decent
man whether he is in the saloon bust
ness or not will countenance it for
minute or endeavor to excuse or de-
fend it in any way. By selling to
minors we do not mean selling to well
grown young men who can easily fool
the saloon men in regard to their age.
1t is giving little boys in their early
teens rot gut whiskey for the few poor
little nickles and dimes it brings into
the till that is ''selling to minors'' in
the understanding of sensible men who
are broad enough to look at the laws
which are supposed to govern the IL
quor traffic in the right light. There
is no possible excuse for that kind of
business and any man who is guilty of
doing it should be chased out of bust
ness whether he runs a saloon or drug
store. And man does not have to be
anti-saloon or a prohibitionist to stand
right on this proposition either. The
Liquor Dealers Association as an or
ganization and every decent saloon
man in the city are as much against
this selling to minors as anybody else.
The men who are fighting the saloons
sometimes forget this, but it is a fact
nevertheless. We are we'll aware that
some recent happenings in our city
council do not appear to bear out this
statement, but we are glad to know
and believe that the course that the
powers that be have seen fit to take
in failing to enforce the law in regard
to the revocation Of saloon licenses
upon conviction of selling to minors
does not meet with the approval of the
better element among the saloon men.
Public sentiment demands the punish
ment of men who sell to minors and
no power no matter how strongly en-
trepehed in Office can protect those
guilty of this practice in this or any
other city for any length of time.
