TAKE GYPsIEs HORSES.
Tribes May be About Kenosha County
for Some Time to Regain Stock.

The tribes Of gypsies which came to
Kenosha to be here at the finish of
the Bimble cases, are still in the county
and they may be here for some time as
early this morning Sheriff Stahl took
over three horses belonging to one of
the parties and is holding them pend
ing the payment of damages to J. Ras-
mussen, farmer in the town of Pleas
ant Prairie. The horses broke over the
fences and got into Rasmussen IS corn
field and broke down the corn The
gypsies were in Kenosha today at
tempting to make peace with Rasmus-
sen, but as he demanded real money
in payment for the damages it may be
some time before a settlement is reach
ed in the matter. The sheriff declares
that he is having forty complaints a
day. The gypsies are being charged
with stealing milk, fruit, eggs, and
wood. 1t is claimed that the women
from the tribes invaded farms this
morning and MIXED the cows before
the thrifty farmers got out to work.
The sheriff has served a new notice on
the gypsies to get out of the county in
six hours.

REL. PETER STAIR FOR kENOSHA
The Rev Perry Millar is Stationed at
Wesley Church in Milwaukee Be
ing Given Great Advance in
the Church Work.

A general shakeup in the Methodist
ministers of Kenosha county was
made with the close of the annual con-
ference at Amigo on Tuesday after
noon and as a result of the appoint
ments announced by the bishop nearly
every church in the denomination will

forecasted on Monday, the Rev. Peter
T. Stair of Algoma Street church

Avenue M. c. church in this city and
the appointment is one decidedly salts
factory to the members of the church.
M. Stair is one of the best known of
the younger ministers of the denomina-
tion in Wisconsin and during the short
time that he has been in the ministry
he has given promise of great work.
His work at Oshkosh attracted wide
attention and as result he secured
several calls from the leading churches
In the conference this year. Mr.. Stair
is brilliant pulpit orator and has
been very active in all lines Of church
work. The Rev. Perry Millar gives up
his two years pastorate at the Keno
sha church to go to Wesley church in

appointments in the conference and

work in order to take charge of the
missionary work of his church in Mil
waukee.

new minister for the Methodists will
be Andrew Porter a young man who
has been serving in the Milwaukee
district for several years and the Rev.

Rev. Henry johnson is the new minis
ter at Somers. The Rev. William Rol-
Inns remains as superintendent of the
Milwaukee district.
The new ministers will take charge
Of the various pulpits on next Sunday

BECOMES VIOLENTLY INSANE.
Mother Of Five Young Children Work
ing in Beet Fields Loses Her Reason.

Amelia Stjeben, 33 years of age, a
woman employed as a beet weeder on
the Roberts farm at the village of
Woodworth, became violently insane
on Monday and was taken to the state
hospital at Mendoza on Monday night.
The woman is the mother of i've small
children and she had been working as
a weeder in the beet fields to aid her
husband in the support of the family.
On Sunday evening she showed signs
of losing her reason and on Monday
she became SO violent that Judge Tay-
lor was asked to investigate the case.
The woman made a great fight against
the officials who took her to Mendoza
and it is feared that her nervous con
dition is such that she can survive but
a few days. The woman had resided
in this. county for several years and
was said to be suffering as a result
of excitement over religious matters.

SEEK MISSING MAN.
Kenosha Police Asked to Search for
w. Helm Missing from st. Louis.

The police of Kenosha have received
a letter from Mrs. William Helm of
ST. Louis, asking that they make an
effort to locate her husband who has
been missing from his home in that
city since the last day of June. 1t is
alleged that Holm had friends in Ke-
nosha and it is thought possible that he
may have come to this city. Helm is
charged with taking with him at the
time of his disappearance bonds be-
longing to his wife to the value Of
$4,000. The bonds have not been of
fered for sale and Mrs. Helm asks that
bankers in Kenosha be warned against
cashing interest coupons on them.

NO PROMISES FOR THE FUTURE
Town Board Still Insists That Even
With Fines Paid the Saloon Men
Must Observe the Laws or Shut Up
Their Shops

Meek as lambs and shorn OF all the
defiance to law that they had shown
week ago John B. Wirtz, Peter Stein
bach, John Neubauer and Joseph We'd
dlestedt, the four saloon keepers licens-
ed by the town board of the town of
Somers, slipped into the municipal
court late Monday afternoon and took
their medicine. The men had been
charged by the members of the town
board with selling liquor on Sunday
and while they did not plead guilty
to the charges and thus put their lii
censes into jeopardy, they did enter a
plea of nolo contendere and on this
Judge Randall assessed a fine of $15
and costs in each case. None of the
men arrested made any effort to deny
that they had sold liquor in their
places on Sunday and their excuse was
that they had misunderstood the rights
Of the town board. There was an in
dication that the men believed that
the town board had the right to grant
licenses for Sunday business, but this
excuse did not appeal to the court i'm
the least. There was something said
in regard to the right to regulate as
left with the town board, but the sa-
loon men were given to understand
that no town board had any right to
grant to a saloon man the right of
violating the state law and it was I'M
der promises of good conduct in the
future that they were let off with
the low fines The maximum fine for
the offense would have been twenty
five dollars.
The saloon men went out of court
hopeful that they would be able to
reach an agreement with the people of
Somers to be permitted to violate the
law just as it is violated i'm other parts
of the county and they hope that they
will be able to open their places on
next Sunday However, it can be said
on absolute authority that the mem
bers of the town board have made no
promises to the saloon men and that
an open saloon in Somers next Sun
day will probably result in new arrests
and with petitions to the town board
for the revocation of the licenses now
held by these men.
The board has declared that it will
insist on the saloons being operated i'm
compliance with the laws and if this
| is carried out the knell of the Sunday
saloon in Somers has already been
sounded The saloon men themselves
declare that they are being discrimin
ated against on account of the fact
that saloons in. all parts of the county
are opened for at least part of the
day on Sunday, but even at that it is
pretty certain that they will follow
closely any regulations that may be
laid down by the town board.
1t is claimed that the license of
Neubauer would cease to be of value
if the place was closed on Sunday as
Sunday is about the only day that any
business is done at the park over which
Neubauer rules. The fight does not
seem to be aimed particularly at Neu.
bauer and it is an open secret that it
is the purpose of the town board to
regulate the management of the sa-
looms about Somers station

LOTS OF FARMERS ANSWER
State Superintendent Hopes that the
Mail Symposium VIII Result in
Greatly Improved Conditions of the
Schools in the County,

About month ago blank was pre-
pared by the state superintendent and
sent to representative men in the rural
districts of the counties. This blank
called for information concerning the
country schools and also asked fol
suggestions that would lead to their
improvement. Those to whom the
blanks were sent were asked to name
the weaknesses of the country schools
and to suggest remedies. They were
also asked to give their opinion re
garding certain definite propositions,
such as consolidation, taxation, course
Of study and the like.
Replies have come in from over -four
hundred different persons. These
blanks are filled out in a way to show
that country people are thinking about
educational matters. The opinions ex
pressed and the suggestions given are
worthy of perusal by any one inter
ested in constructive educational worl
for the rural communities. Following
is a brief summary of the answers
given:
Greatest weaknesses: /. Too many
weak, inefficient, unframed teachers
Many of them are too young to realize
their responsibilities. Many of them
are city girls who have no knowledge
of rural life and no interest in it's de
yelopnent. AS a rule they are i'm
practical, not knowing the difference
between the essentials and non-essen
tials. The poorer ones offer to teach
for small wages, thereby driving the
better teachers out of the profession
2 Ignorance, lack of interest anc
cooperation on the part of parents
frequently parents take the part Of
their children against the teacher.
8. In many cases inefficient schoo
officers who neglect their duties. This
results in poor, unbusinesslike man
agement of the school.
4. Irregular attendance. Not {
strict enough enforcement of the com
pulsory attendance law.
5. Lack of proper supervision.
6. Many schools are too small.
Z. Lack of thorough work in tn,
fundamentals. Schools try to cove,
too much ground Children ar,
pushed too fast in their studies
Principal suggestions. 1. Train thu
teachers for the work in country
schools. Do not let them teach before
they are trained for this work.
2. Pay the good, efficient teachers
8. Enforce the compulsory attend
ance law.
4. Consolidate the schools where
they are small and where it is feasible
S. Stir up interest in educational
matters by means of parents meet
ings, debating societies, farmers clubs
