The managers Of the night schools
for foreigners are to be congratulated
on the success of their undertaking IN
every way. Not only is the attendance
large but the progress made by the pu-
pills in these schools, nothing less than
astonishing in some individual cases
and satisfactory in all, shows that the.
money spent in maintaining these
schools is well invested and that the
efforts of the teachers are not being
wasted. These schools are demonstrate
ing more and more clearly that they
are q necessity in the community. They
have long ago passed the experimental
stage and their usefulness may be ex-
pected to increase from now on as the
foreigners of the city become more and
more familiar with the benefits follow
ing attendance on these schools. While
our foreign born citizens are proverb-
tally suspicious and slow to take up
with new things, the influence of every
one now attending these schools is sure
to be felt ininteresting others in them.
The missionary work which will be
done by the present students is certain
to result in largely increased attend
ance next winter and the problem of
caring for an increased number of pu-
pills will have to be faced at the begin
ming of the first term next winter.
just how the additional expense of
caring for more pupils is to be met is
not clear at present but we believe that
the money needed to furnish accommo-
dations for all who seek an education
In these night schools will be forth
coming from somewhere. There is en-
ough of the spirit of the pioneers who
established and maintained the first
free school system in the west in this
city left in Kenosha to make it GER
tain that any undertaking Of proven
value along educational lines will not
be forced to limit it's work for any lack
of financial support.

Racine Refrigerator and Fix
ture Company Will Greatly
Enlarge It's Plant
CAPITAL STOCK $4,000

The capital stock of the Racine Re-
frigerator and Fixture company is to
be increased to $4,000 according to
announcements made Monday. 1t is I'M
derstood that blocks of stock will be
purchased by Racine and Kenosha par
ties and that Chicago capitalists will
also become stockholders in the COM
pany.
The stock has been placed on the
market by Peter B. Nelson, president
and treasurer of the company and for
mer Mayor of Racine. 1t is understood
that the company contemplates build
ing large additions to the plant in or
der to increase it's product which con-
sists of refrigerators, fixtures and ice
making machines. The company when
it moved from Racine purchased a fac
tory building in Kenosha but it has
been found inadequate for the manu-
facture of orders received and it has

new and modern machinery. It is ex-
pected that articles increasing the cap

with the secretary of state within a
week.
The Racine Refrigerator and Fixture
company was organized in 1883 with a
capital stock of $4,000. This amount
has been inreased at different times.
A few years ago when the company had
become recognized as one of the lead
ing manufacturing concerns of it's kind
in the country, the plant at Racine was
entirely wiped out by fire. The lack
of a commercial association in Racine
resulted in the company accepting of
fers from Kenosha capitalists to locate

SEEK ASSAILANT OF EDEL
Police Making Strenuous Efforts to
Find Man Who Locked Boy Up.

The police of the city are making
strenuous efforts to find the assailant
of John Edel, the ffteen-yea boy
who was locked in a closet of va
cant house on Dayton street Sunday
night and there may be some sensa-
tional developments in the case as the
man suspected is said to be man well
known in the city. Edel was with the
police for an hour on Monday and the
description of the man given by him
has indicated to the police that they
are on the right track. Chief o Hare
has taken personal charge of the in
vestigation and it is declared that the
man suspected in the case can not be
located in the city. Outside of a few
marks on his throat young Edel did

The movement started by the Citi-
zens Business league Of Milwaukee to
build and maintain a model drag road
between Milwaukee and Chicago will
probably receive considerable support
in this county and the advocates of
good roads should have little difficulty
In raising enough money to pay the
comparatively small cost of the drag
ging which will have to be done on the
road through this county The plan
under which it is proposed to build
this road has operated successfully in
other states and it is believed that the
small cost of making this experiment
IN road building will appeal favorably
to the people of the county generally
md particularly to those whose proper
ty adJoins the route of the improved
highway and who will benefit the most
by its construction. There have been
lnnumerable projects for connecting
Chicago and Milwaukee with a first
class highway, passing through Ken
osha and Racine, brought out in the
past ten years, all of them calling for
the expenditure Of large sums of mon
ey but none of them has so far gone
beyond the promotion stage and, Oh &C.
count Of the heavy expense involved,
IL does not appear probable at pres
ent that any of these projects such as
the proposal to extend the Sheridan
Drive or the building of the "Great
White Way for instance, can be car
ried out for good many wears vet if
ever. In many ways the Milwaukee
plan IS the most feasible ever proposed
and for oil practical purposes it would
give as good road as could be built

a matter for future consideration af.
Ter 1t IS ascertained what support the
different counties will give the project.
but if the road is ever built throngb

Kenosha bowlers are getting ready
to send big delegation to Oshkosh
the first week in March to attend the

no less than twenty of the Kenosha
bowlers will be entered in the different
events scheduled for the state meet.
The entries for the state meet will
close on next Saturday evening and
the lists of the competitors from Ken
osha is now being made up. Oshkosh

TO RAISE SALARIES OF POLICE
Council to Provide for Increased Sal
aries for Police and Firemen-Wash-
ington Island Grades Prove Puzzle
to Aldermen.

Inc Guy Council Will nave no nght
on the question of the paving of Lake
avenue as at the meeting On Monday
evening the aldermen by a unanimous
vote gave the contract for the improve
ment of the street to the White Con
struction Company of Milwaukee. The
street IS to be paved with asphalt mac
adam and this company was the lowest
bidder on this sort of pavement. The
contract was let absolutely without ar
gument. The members of the street
assessment committee had canvassed
the sentiment Of the property owners
on the street and had found that ma
jority of them favored the asphalt mac
adam pavement and with this under
standing the committee reported to the
council recommending the acceptance
of the bid of the Milwaukee company.
The contract will be signed at once
and work will probably be started in
the early spring. 1t may be necessary
for the city to make some changes in
the Lake avenue sewer but it is
thought that this can be done without
interfering with the work of paving.
The movement to increase the salar-
les of the police and fire department.
came before the council in a tangible
form when the committee on police
presented an ordinance having this
purpose in view. The ordinance which
was given its first reading provides
that the chiefs Of the two departments
shall receive salary of $3.50 year,
assistant chief $1,000, captains, cleo
tricians and desk sergeants, $50 per
month, and other members of the two
departments shall be paid at the rate
of 500 for the first year and after the
first year $75 per month The ordin-
ance provides that men may go from
the police to the fire department. or
from the fire to the police department
without loss of wages.
The council spent considerable time
arguing in regard to the grade of Mid
die street on Washington Island and in
order that the matter may be better
understood the council will hold a spec
ial meeting on next Sunday afternoon
when a trip will be made to the island
and an effort be made to establish a
grade which will be acceptable to all
of the property owners concerned.
The street assessment committee is
to take up at once the matter of build
ing sidewalks and the committee will
advertise now for bids for the build
ing of walks ordered in last year which
the property owners failed to build and
the contract will be let so as to have
the walks built with the first work Of
the new building season. The commit
tee will also advertise for the build.
ing of fifty concrete crossings. There
is a contest in regard to the settle
ment for walks built by the city last
year and this was referred to the
claims committee and it is expected
that an amicable settlement will be
reached.
The board of water commissioners
sent a letter to the council asking for
advice in regard to bringing an action
