ready for her daughters arrival.
Z Eudoxla, who came originally from
County Cork, was an Irish lady with q
lhick brogue and husky temper. She
was amiable enough so long as things
went to her satisfaction, but when
they did not suit her she was ter
magant. She was neither beautiful nor
graceful; she was not young nor was
she very clean. Her usual condition
was disheveled, her face was all
dskew, and when she dressed up she
looked Ike valentine. Her greatest
weakness was propensity for smash
ing dishes, and when reprimanded she
would threaten to take her traps and
skidoo. This news Of the arrival Of
a daughter failed to fill her with en-
thusiasm. Firstly. it meant more
work; secondly, she had not bargain

was on the understanding that the
family consisted only Of an elderly
gentleman and his wife. that there was
practically no work. good wages, plenty

That evening Stott and the Judge
came home earlier than usual, and
from their detected appearance Mrs.
Rossmore OWNED bad news. The
Judge was painfully silent throughout

aside and broke it to her gently. In
spite Of their efforts and the efforts Of
their friends the congressional inquiry

OLD SToREHOUsE BURNS.
Tranps are Supposed to Have Set Fire
to the Bendt Storehouses,

An old storehouse owned by Joseph
Bendt and located on Union street near
the Lithuanian church was badly gut
ted by fire just after nine o'clock Fri
day evening. The old building was in
flames when the fremen were called
out and it was impossible to find any
cause for the blaze. 1t is thought pos
sible that some tramps had gone into
the building to sleep and that they
threw some matches into inaammable
material. After the fire had been ex-
tinguished the Chief of the Fire De-
partment and his men made search
of the building but they found nothing
that would indicate the cause of the
FIRE. The damage from the blaze was
slight.

HOARD QUITS BOARD.
Former Governor Resigns as University
Regent.

William D. Hoard for many years,
head of the Board of Regents of the
University of Wisconsin has resigned
his position. The resignation will go
into effect at once. In his letter of re-
signation former Governor Hoard de-
clares that the university is being made
a political hot bed. In his letter Mr..
Hoard says:
TT. Atkinson, Wis, March 20, 1911.
Hon. Francis E. McGovern, Govern
or, Madison Wis, Sir: hereby tender
my resignation from the board of uni
versity regents to take effect at once.
Failing health and an unwillingness to
longer remain as a member of a body
that has lately been reconstructed up
on the basis and for the main purpose
of political partisanship for the La
Toilette faction in politics are my chief
reasons for resigning.

school like our university can be wise
ly, honestly or efficiently administered
from SO narrow standpoint.
Respectfully yours,

LECTURES on ARCHITECTURE.
3. M. Petit Gives Interesting Lectures
Before the High School Students.

During the past two weeks, the mem
bers of the Senior class of the high
school have enjoyed the exceptional
privilege of hearing series of lectures
on the History of Art. The course is
offered by the courtesy of Mr.. Bertholf
Petit, member of the class of 1902
K. III. S., who has, since his graduation
here, graduated with high honors from
the University of Chicago and the Bos-
ton Institute of Technology. The lee
lures, so far, have dealt with the Ar
chitectuTe and Sculpture of Egypt,
Greece and Rome; and it is hoped that
the course may be completed by pre-
sentation of the Gothic and Renais-
sance periods. The talks have been il
Illustrated by lantern slides, and the in
terest of the class has been enthusiast
tic from the beginning. The purpose
of the course is to give the members of
the class an idea of what the History
of Art offers as field for study af-
ter the completion of the high school
course, and also to give them practice
in the sort of note taking which they
will have to do when their college work
begins.
No member of the Alumni could have
made more acceptable expression of
his interest in the school than Mr.. Pet
tit has done by presenting, in so at
tractive manner, new field of in
terest and activity to the young peo-
pie now in school.

EASTERN STAR ENTERTAINs.
Interesting Gathering Of Masonic Or
der Held at Temple Thursday Eve.

The Kenosha Chapter Of the Eastern
Star had a noteworthy gathering at
the Mansoic Temple on Thursday ev-
ening when the members were at home
to a company Of sixty members of the
Eastern Star Chapter of Waukegan
The visitors came up in a special car
reaching Kenosha just after six o.
clock. In honor of the visitors din
ner was served at seven o'clock at
which covers were laid for more than
a hundred and fifty of the members of
order and their friends.
After the dinner the work Of the or
der was exemplifed upon class of
candidates after which there were
short talks by well known members of
the two chapters. The evening proved
one of the most enjoyable sessions ever
held by the Eastern Star in Kenosha.

There were number of people in
Kenosha who breathed easier when it
was announced that Robert Verne Bak-
er had definitely decided to accept the
appointment as postmaster of Kenosha
and that there was no further POSSIBLE
ity that he would occupy the Office of
district attorney again for some time.
The greatest compliment ever paid Mr..
Baker for his management of that diff
fcult and trying position was the ack-
nowledged fact that the criminal ele
ment of the city and those whose reg
ular violations of the laws made them
fear that they might be brought into
court at any time were more afraid of
him than of any man who ever occupi
ed the Office in this county. That is a
tribute not only to his ability but to
his fearlessness of which any man
might be proud.

OFFERS A SETTLEMENT.
Officials of the M. r. and K. Road
Would Settle Suit With Enoch Kline.

The attorneys representing the Mil
waukee, Racine and Kenosha Electric
Railway company have offered to make
settlement of the suit brought against
the company by Enoch Kline the Ken
osha county man who was stabbed on
an electric car near Berryville two
years ago. Kline secured a Judgment
Of $4,000 against the company and the
case is now pending in the Supreme
court of the state. The company has
offered to settle on fifty per cent bas-
is but the attorney for Kline has not
as yet accepted the offer. It is expect
ed that the Supreme court will render
a decision in few days and the at
torney is simply backing his faith in
his case in refusing to accept the prof
fered settlement. The case was one of
the most unusual personal injury cases
ever tried in this county and for this
reason the outcome of it is being
watched with more than passing inter
est.

TEACHERS HEAR CHEEvER.
Well Known Milwaukee Educator
Speaks at Kenosha High School,

School teachers from all parts of the
county came to Kenosha today to at
tend the one day institute held at the
Kenosha high school and it proved to
be one of the most interesting gather
ings of the teachers held during the
day. The institute was in charge of
County Superintendent John J. Ker-
win and the principal speaker was
Prof. w. III. Cheever Of the Milwaukee
Normal. During the two sessions of
the institute many matters Of deep in
terest to the teachers were taken up.
This win probably be the last institute
for the teachers for the year.

received with considerable favor by
the jewellers in rented houses and flats
to whom the approach of May l with
its rush and worry, expense and break
ages has always been a terror and a
nightmare but the owners Of the rent
ing property will be the ones who will
settle the matter ip the end. It has
been customary ever since large per-
centage OF the population has been
obliged to live in rented homes to date
most of the leases from May / and old
established customs die hard. The pro-
perty owners for the most part have
insisted on having their leases run out
at the time when there is likely to be
the greatest demand for their flats and
houses and the fact that making the
leases all expire on one day entailed
heavier expenses on tenants has been
given very little consideration. Of
late years, however, a tendency has
been noticed to set October | as the
time for the expiration of some of the
leases and if the present proposal to
abolish the official moving day is re-
ceived by the landlords with favor on
ly to the extent of setting couple of
other dates by common consent for the
expiration of part of the leases, it
will be a step in the right direction
and remove some of the burdens from
the renters. The decision of the own
ers of renting property will be law in
the matter, however.
