fairs IN this country for at the con
ferenees the natives bring the fruits
of the fields as samples of the work
that is being done in the church or
carnations. Under the direction of
Bishop Hartzell the church has ac-
CURED thousands of acres of land in
all portions of Africa and this land
is being used TO teach the natives
new lessons of civilization. DR..
Hartzell spoke of the vast territory
over which he was a superintendent
and declared that he was accustomed
to travel from 10000 to 10000 miles
year visiting the various confer
ences of his church. He talked a lit
tla Of the politics of the country ana
5old of the great work that was be-
ing done by the French Republic for
the advancement of the people of
Africa He declared that England
would always maintain colonies there
but that the time was rapidly an
preaching when India the richest of
the possessions of the British crown
would throw off the yoke Of depend
ence and become a sovereign state
Bishop Hartzell declared that the
greatest problem facing the Christian
missionaries was to find way to
reach the people Of the Mohamedan
faith. He stated that many of the
young men of this faith We're now be-
coming teachers in the Christian re-
ligion and that in short time the
work of these young men would be
most valuable in storming the ramp
arts of the heretofore Mohamedan
hosts.
Bishop Hartzell is in Kenosha for
few days for visit with his son.
Robert Hartzell. He will return 70
his work in Africa early in the new
year.

GRATED and it was one of the best
furnished of the smaller theatres in
the city. The seats and hangings
furnished an easy prey for the fire.
In the building there were two pianos
and both We're completely destroyed
as was the picture machine which
was valued at several hundred dol
lars. Tho loss on the building will
be at least $4,000 while the loss ON
the fixtures viii amount to half as
much more
The theatre was located in the
very center of the West Side district
the fire proving a sensation for the
people in that part of the city. Hun
dreds of people lined the streets and
the fremen were forced to stretch
ropes to keep the crowd back from
the front walls of the building. The
fire had so destroyed the supports of
the building that it was feared that
the front wall would crunble and
fall.
1t is expected that the theatre will
be rebuilt but it is probable that the
owner and manager will be forced
to wait until the new building season
before the work ear be done. The
losses on both the building and the
furnishings of the little theatre are
partially covered by insurance.

CHICAGO MAN GETS RIDE
Police Pick up Wrong Man in Effort
to Arrest Safe Blower.

Police Pick up Wrong Man in Effort
to Arrest Safe Blower.
Harry Chalz a Chicago man had a
ride in the Kenosha patrol wagon at
an early hour this morning and for an
hour he had the distinction of being
held as real safe blower. The police
had received a telephone message
from Milwaukee asking them to arrest
a real safe blower who had left Mil
waukee on Chicago and Milwaukee
car just before midnight Chalz ans
wered the description OF the man to
a nicely and when the train pulled
in here Chalz was loaded into the
wagon and taken to the police Office.
He took his arrest good naturally and
gave the police an alibi which was
found to be perfectly good. He was
released an hour later and hoped to
be able to get to Chicago in time to
go to work this morning. The man
who blew the safe is still at large
and Milwaukee detectives believe that
he may be in Kenosha.

OVERHEATED FURNACE CAUSE
Building Badly Damaged and Furnish
ings and Fixtures are Almost Com
plete Loss Fire Causes Excitement
Among West Side Residents.

The Pastime Theatre, the pride of
the people of the West Side was a
mass of ruins this morning. Fire
which broke out in the theatre just
after one O'Clock Sunday morning
completely Quilted the play house,
causing a loss of from $4,000 to 81
900. The fire was due to an over
heated furnace AMI it spread so rap
idly that when the fremen reached
the theatre it was mass of flames
and it was only with the hardest work
that the members of the department
prevented a total loss on the building
and the contents.
The usual shows had been given at
the theatre on Saturday evening and
when Manager Ambrose O'Brien
locked up just before midnight there
was no sign of fire danger. The fire
was discovered two hours later and
when the first blaze was seen the en-
tire interior of the place was in
flames. The entire department. was
called out and three lines of hose
played on the blaze for more than
two hours before the fire was COM
pletely under control
The building was a combination
brick and frame structure erected
only short time ago at cost of
about $4,000. 1t was owned by Eu-
gene LaMacchia and it had recently
been leased to Charles Pacini, pro-
prietor of the Majestic Theatre on
Main street who had placed it in
charge of Manager O'Brien.
The flames spread with such rapid
ity that it was impossible to save
any of the furniture and fixtures. The
furnace is directly under the center
Of the building and it is evident that
the fire started in this portion of the
building and the interior was all
ablaze before the fire was discovered.

MANY SCHOOL BILLS
Educational Measures to DC.
cupy Time of Legislature
at Coming Session.
TO IMPROVE RURAL SCHOOLS

Educational questions will occupy a
great deal of time before the Wiscon-
sin legislature this winter, and two
measures of great Importance will I'M
doubtedly receive much attention on
the part of the members. They are:
/. A bill to unite the management
Of all the schools of the state under a
single board to be composed of five
members who shall be trained edu-
Gators and to do away with the separ,
ate boards which are now managing
the state educational institutions.
2. A bill for county boards of edu-
cation which shall have the power to
| elect county superintendent.
Both measures will be the subjects
of bitter contests. The university es.
pecially will make a great fight against
being placed under the same control
as the other state educational institu-
tions and will do it's utmost to prevent
the passage of a state board of educa
| tion bill.
| The same bill was presented both
four years ago and two years ago and
met with strong opposition of the uni
versity influence.
The bill creating county boards of
education will be strongly opposed in
some country districts of the state
! where the members feel their consti-
tuents do not desire to be deprived of
their right to select directly their
county superintendent. It is claimed
however, that both the central board
of education bill and the county school
board bill run a good chance of being
adopted by the coming legislature.
In addition to the bills mentioned
| there is no question that Assemblyman
Merlin Hull of jackson county, who
has long been the great champion of
the common schools before the legisla-
ture, will attempt to secure the pass
age of very compete consolidated
school bill which it is claimed is the
ony method by which very decided
Improvement of the common. schools
can be obtained.
The consolidated school bin prac-
tically contemplates graded schools for
the country by tho consolidation of
school districts AMI the transportation
of pupils to and from schools.

HOW CHRISTMAS GIFTS ARE LOST
Postoffice Officials Say Carelessness Of
Senders is the Cause.

Every Christmas, twenty-five thous-
and people fail to receive gifts sent
them through the mails-and all be-
cause the senders don't exercise or
binary care in addressing parcels.
To obviate this Christmas disappoint-
ment, Postmaster General Hitchcock
today issued an appeal to the public
to cooperate with the department in
making sure that all addresses on pack
ages are correct and that the sender IS
name is put in the upper left hand cor
ner.
Last year all records for dissent
Packages were broken-375On gifts go
ing to the dead letter office.
The postmaster general has direct
ed also that all letters received at the
postofice addressed Santa Claus shall

Twenty fire alarm boxes, including

that the wires of the fire alarm boxes

The cross was found at the corner of

day morning. On account of the
burning out of the boxes it was found
almost impossible to get in an alarm
for the fire which Quilted the West
Side theatre. The owner of the build
ing has threatened to bring suit
against the city on account of the
conditions existing. The men at the
fire house claim that the condition
could not have been eliminated before
the fire at the theatre and that men
were put to work on the lines just as
soon as the trouble was discovered.

One of the most effective boosts for
