READY FOR CARNATIoN DAY.
People to Observe the Anniversary q,
the Birth of President Mckinley. =

Kenosha florists are preparing for
the demand for carnations on January
90, the anniversary of the birthday OF
President Mckinley The day remem
bered as carnation day was established
in 1903, and each succeeding year the
memory of the dead president has been
recalled by wearing his favorite flower.
The Carnation league this year has
sent out a circular requesting the peo-
pie to wear a carnation. 1t says: The
life, character and services of William
Mckinley will never pass from the
memory of the people. In his death the
nation suffered the loss of man be-
loved by all. The people can not have
too many days to show their appreeia-
ton of the noble character of such men
as our martyred president. The thought
full observance of each anniversary
tends to keep the patriotism of the
people to its highest pitch, and we may
be sure were the soul of William Nc.
Kinley to look down it would infuse
some of his love for the nation to the
hearts of his fellow beings"

STATE SECURES ARREST.
William DeGroot of Paris Charged
With Selling AduIterated Milk.

Samuel J. Dufner one of the State
Dairy Commissioners came to Kenosha
on Wednesday afternoon and swore
out warrant for the arrest of Will
lam DeGroot a we'll known farmer of
the town of Paris. The defendant is
charged with selling adulterated milk
to the Bowman Dairy company at Bris-
tol. 1t is alleged in the complaint that
when the milk was tested it failed to
show the eight per cent of butter fat
demanded by the law. DeGroot was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff John Spartz
and brought into the Municipal court
and the hearing of the ease was adj
journed until Jan. IL. The defendant
was released on a reeognizance bond
The State Commission is paying lot
of attention to alleged adulteration of
milk just at present and it is declared
that a number of arrests win be made
in this county.

Charges of Extortion.

Charges of Extortion.
The preliminary hearing of Anton

Steve Trovjevic, Ignace Shabovich,
Emil Seloyitz, Andrew Soulor and Joe
Pajick the eight Kenosha foreigners
arrested week ago on the complaint
Of Joseph Weinberg on charges of ex-
torting money from Weinberg was
started in the Municipal court this
morning. All of the defendants and
a great crowd of their friends were on
hand and Weinberg had retinue of
lawyers assisting the District Attorney
at the hearing. The men are charged
with securing 1915 from Weinberg by
threats and after they had assaulted
him. The money is alleged to have
been paid for lots purchased by the
men and they declared that afterwara
they discovered that the lots were prac-
tlcally worthless. Weinberg was on
the witness stand during the entire
morning and he declared that the deal
ings Of his company with the men was
entirely regular. The hearing will take
up the time of the court for the en-
tire day.

kenosha Home Telephone Co.
Plans to Expend $4,000 in
Building New Cables
NEW SERVICE FOR RICE PARK

The Kenosha Home Telephone COM
pany is planning on the expenditure Of
$4,000 for the improvement of the SER
vice IN Kenosha and the work of in
stall1ng new. cable will be started Just
as soon as the weather will permit in
the spring. The Kenosha company has
made plans for an ultimate plant in
Kenosha which will give to the city
one of 1.-The best if not the best tele.
phone plant in the state. During the
year just closed the company has ex-
pended lot of money in improving
the over head work of the comnanv on
the north and south sides. Much of
the work during the coming year will
be on the west and northwest sides of
the city. On nearly all of the streets
on the west side the net work of wires
Will be removed and they will be re-
placed with cables. In this part of the
city the company is planning to put in
service to take care of the business
for term of at least twenty wears
and it is probable that there will be
no demand for the rebuilding Of the
lines IN that part of the system in a
quarter of century. The cables to be
installed are large enough to carry
wires for many times the number of
telephones now in use IN that part of
the city. The rapid growth of Rice
Park has proved attractive to the Tele-
phone company and this part of the
city will be given much better ser
vice when the new work is installed
Cables will be placed in all parts of
Rice Park and the single wire services
In that section of the city will all be
carried in the cables. Nearly all of
the overhead wires in that part of the
city will be taken down to make way
for the single system of cables.

school will be not only for Kenosha
county teachers but it will be open to
all teachers Of the state who may care
to attend it. Several of the smaller
villages in the county have sought to
have the training school located but
it Is probable that under the plan now
proposed the school would be located
in Kenosha. The county board is find
ing little business to occupy its atten-
ton but there are several long drawn
out reports which must be audited by
the committees of the board asd it is
probable that the board will be in SEES
sion for the remainder of the week.
The matter of contract with the sher-
if has not as yet been taken up but
it is probable that the committee and
the sheriff will get busy today and that
a contract will be reported
There are 900 people in Kenosha
county who are not thrifty enough to
insist on being paid when they appear
in court and at other judicial hearings
as witnesses and this morning the
county board ordered 200 county orders
drawn to these people destroyed. The
orders have been held by the County
Clerk for two years and have not been
called for.
The total amount of the outlawed or
ders was $256.3S and the largest indi-
vidual order was $3.47. Many of the
people in whose favor the orders are
drawn have moved out of Kenosha.
One of the interesting matters to
come before the board is the claim of
the city for pay for the pavement of

RAvINIA PARK. AN INCUBUS.
Receivers of Chicago and Milwaukee
Anxious to Dispose Of Pleasure Park.

Not only will Ravinia Park, the mu-
steal capital Of the central west, stu
ated just south OF Highland Park and
Ravinia, not reopen next year or any
successive year, but it is for sale and
on the market today with no buyers
appearing to take it off the hands of
the owners.
Receiver George NJ. Seward of Chi
cago, in addition to making this state
ment, today denied that New York
syndicate had made an offer to buy
the resort for transformation into an
amusement park.
He stated that in all probability the
park will never reopen, and unless
some one buys it viii sink into decay
as the chances are slim that the fed
eral court will o. K. an order to re-
open it, as the seasons during which
the park has operated, with one pos
sible exception, have proved losing
propositions.
Mortgage holders on the park and
the receiver of the Frost effects him
self are willing and anxious to close a
deal for the sale of the park, which is
admittedly on the market, but buyers
of such enterprises are still fighting
shy of "Frost S fad" and there is not
bid.
The chances are that with the ex-
ception of occasional rentings to am
ateur shows, the park will gradually
sink into decay, with artistic band and
orchestra shell, and its literally pat
ronized casino.

osha county. County Superintendent
John ]. Kerwin appeared before the
board on Wednesday afternoon and es-
planned the new proposition of the
state to increase the number of train
ing schools for teachers and strongly
urged the board to seek school I'M
der the patronage Of the state for Ken
osha county. The board laid the mat
ter over until the session this after
noon and it is thought that some fav-
orable action will be taken. Under
the new scheme the state would pay
two-thirds of the cost of opening and
maintaining the training school and
the other one-third would be paid by
the county. The new proposition of
the state seems to have met with fay-
or in many of the counties of the
state. Racine county was one of the
first counties to apply to the state for
the location of training school I'M
der the provisions of the law The
Kenosha teachers have long sought to
have such school in the county and
the plan was strongly endorsed by the
committee of the county board and
others which made an Investigation
during the last year but no action
was taken on account Of the fact that
the board had no appropriation for the
purpose. If the state is willing to pay
two thirds Of the cost it is probable
that the money could be provided with
out any special tax levy being made.
Of course if the school is opened I'M

Lifting Fire Hose by Elevators.

The latest idea for raising waite,
for fire-extinguishing purposes to the
uppermost floors of tall buildings is
to lift the hose by means of the pas.
senger or freight elevators. A simple
attachment is provided for afflxing the
hose to the floor Of the elevator. the
pipe being coiled up in the bottom of
the shaft SO as to be easily raised.
In a recent demonstration at Mem
phis. Tenn. says Popular Mechanics.
1t was said that the water arrived at
the sixth floor Of building practical
ly as soon as the floor was seached
by the elevator, and the fire chief Of
that city recommended the compul-
sorry adoption Of the device by all
buildings provided with elevators. The
hose Is inserted In the attachment
about two sections behind the dis
charge nozzle, these sections being
coiled on the elevator floor.

OLD FASHIONED FAMILY PEW
IN That Rested the Strength Of the
Church, and It Should Be
Restored.

One sometimes hears a deal of non.
sense about the danger Of creating a
prejudice against religion in the mind
or child by making him attend
church once a week. The danger
would seem to be about one-tenth as
great as that Of arousing prejudice
against education by sending him to
school twice day. In both cases the
remedy lies In the good sense Of the
parents and their estimate of the
value of religion and education care
fully instilled into the child's mind
The strength of the church has been
IN the old-fashioned pew, with father
at one end and mother at the other.
and stairway of more or less restless
children. From that pew have gone
out the upright. devout, consecrated
men and women who have loved the
church and maintained her worship
and done her work IN their several
generations. For the sake of the
church. and especially for the sake of
the children. let IT be restored.
II 1t be impossible for the children
to attend both Sunday school and the
church service. this writer would by
all means teach them the catechism
at homo and bring them to church
that they may learn to worship God in
the congregation Of his people.-South-
ern Churohman.
