BUSY WEE ( FOR SCHOOL
CHILDREN.

One has but to enter the public
school buildings to see that the spirit
of Christmas is actively at work there.
The halls are attractive with Christ
MAS decorations. Holly notices and
red bells are seen in the school win
dows. Tables and desks are covered
with the Christmas work of the child
rem. Pretty and>interesting booklets
are seen containing written work to
be taken home TO parents. Notices
skillfully and tastefully decorated
with designs in color. are also waiting
to be taken home. In one department
these beautiful cards have been put
under glass; the teacher has taught
the pupils to passe-partout them and
they are ready to be hung on the wall
at home.
The manual training shops "are
running full time to get pieces of
work completed before Friday. The
blackboards are covered with appro:
pirate drawings, made by pupils or by
teachers. On one board Santa Claus
and his reindeer are drawn; on an
other is seen fireplace, with "stock-

A right Social spirit is being en-.

OVERLOOK RAINY DAY. CASH
Men Break Lock of Building and After
Lootlng the Place Take Drink and
Leave Empty Glasses for Bar Tender
20 Clean.

Burglars were real busy in Kenosha
this morning and they were no respec
tors of persons for early today the
police were advised that during the.
early hours of the morning some of the
night marauders had been so incon-
siderate as to make raid on the bali
wick of Mayor M. J. Scholey on West
Market street. The Mayors place is
the headquarters of the Fortune Bro
theirs Brewing company and as the
building is now in course Of rebuilding
it offered an easy chance for the bur
glars and they got in and out without
any clew to their identity being dis
covered. The booty consisted of TWEEN
ty dollars in cash taken from the cash
registers and it is possible that the
men got away with a considerable sup
ply of Christmas wines and liquors.
Entrance to the place was made by
breaking a staple which had been used
10 HOlu pau lux anu WIN JnlS out
of the way the men had no trouble
gaining entrance to the saloon. Once
in the place they made thorough
search. The two cash registers had
been left open when the saloon was
closed at eleven O'Clock last night and
this made the work easy for the bur
glars. In glass near the cash regis
ter was twenty dollars in bills but it
is evident that the burglars decided
that the. Mayor would need little
money to get to Madison for the open
ing Of the legislature and this money
was not molested. It is certain that
the men saw the ghost of the Mayor
walking about the place and heard his
accustomed salute, "Well,, what s it
going to be boys,' as there were a
number of glasses on the bar which
showed that the men had taken several
drinks Of the best the house afforded
before they left.
The robbery was discovered when
the place was opened this morning and
the police at once went to work on the
