CLOSE OPEN AIR SCHOOL.
School Board to Close School for Sick
" Children Till Weather Moderates.

One institution in Kenosha has FALL
en- a victim to the extreme winter
weather and that is the open air
school. The board of education has
issued an order directing that The
school be closed for at least two
months. Many people have complained
that the weather is too cold for the
children, but at that none of them
has suffered. In Difference to these
complaints the board has directed The
closing of the school. It is probable
that it will be reopened the first of
March or possibly at an earlier date.
The score Of children who have been
attending TIE school will be permitted
to attend some Of the rooms in the
other school buildings of the city. The
open air school has greatly benefited
the children and not a few of them
will object seriously to the order Of
TIE board in closing it.

HAS NO STATE FLAG.
Revision of Statutes Left Wisconsin
Without Distinction Ensign.

Wisconsin has no state flag. This
is the conclusion reached by Assistant
Attorney General w. w. Gilman, and
it will be a surprise to many persons,
especially civil war soldiers who en-
listed from Wisconsin,.
II. w. Rood, custodian Of the {. A.
r. memorial hall and patriotic instruc-
tor of the state department Of the G..
A. f., asked the attorney general if
Wisconsin had a state flag The
query was turned over to Assistant At
torney General Gilman, who found on
investigation that a state flag was
adopted by act of the legislature in
1868, but that this act was repealed
probably inadvertently, in 1878 when
the statutes were revised.
The act of 1868 adopting State
flag provided that it should be dark
blue silk, with the arms of the state
of Wisconsin painted or embroidered
in silk on the diverse side aud the
arms Of the United States painted or
embroidered in silk on the reverse side,
the name of the regiment, where used
as a regimental flag, to be in scroll
beneath the state arms.
1t also provided that the flag should
be six feet and six inches fly and six
seet deep on the pike, the pike TO be
nine feet ten inches long; the fringe
yellow, and cord and tassels Of blue
and white silk mixed. It is probable
that the next Legislature will be asked
to adopt the old flag or provide a
new one.

HAD INTERESTING SESSION.
E. T. Perkins of Chicago Speaks Be-
fore Mems Club Tuesday Evening.

fore Mems Club Tuesday Evening.
The Men s club of st. Matthew $
parish had as the executive committee
predicted, one of the most successful
and entertaining meetings of the year,
on Tuesday evening, when they listen
ed to mastery discourse on Eriga-
tion" by Edmund t. Perkins, ex-chief
Of the government reclamation service.
At the very start it was plainly evil
dent to the large body of men present
that MIR. Perkins was thoroughly fami-
liar with his subject. He explained in
detail the commencement of this great
work and told of che millions spent
by the government in transferring the
barren wastes into rich fruit bearing
garden truck and grazing lands.
MIR. Perkins lecture wa sillustrated
with one hundred aud fifty of the most
beautiful slides ever exhibited in Ike
nosha. He took his audience through
'GHG utduCllNl L OScAA4tcJ 0IdltN SdIl,y Ull
aud Yakima lands, through the
swamps of Tennessee and Florida,
showing the system of building dams
and canals and the irrigation Of farms,
etc. The eoloring Of the slides was
absolutely true to nature, having been
done by government artist and it is
hardly necessary to say that they were
enjoyed TO the utmost by everyone
present.
Mr.. Perkins laid particular stress Non
the work still to be done and surprised
his audience by telling of the amount
Of waste land in the state of Illinois
and even in our own state. In this
connection it is interesting to note
that Mr., Perkins is acting president of
the national drainage congress which
mects at New Orleans April 10th to
18th of this year, the object Of which
rs to have the reclamation of Che
swamp land carried out the same as
has been done with the arid, and
which is of equal Importance

GIVE FRIENDS A SURPRISE
Quiet Ceremony Is Performed by Judge
.'Ikey'' Karel at His Home in Mil
waukee-Bride and Groom to Spend
Long Honeymoon in the West.


prise on Tuesday evening when an
nouncement was made of the marriage
of Mrs. Carrie Dorothy and Charles II.
Gonnermann. The arrangements for
the wedding were SO quietly made that
even the closest friends Of the bride
and groom were not aware that the
ceremony was to have taken place and
Milwaukee announced the marriage
that the facts became known in Keno
sha. For some time it had been rum
ored that there was an engagement
between Mrs. Dorothy and, Mr.. Conner
mann, but they had laughed away any
suggestions of their friends that they
were to be married and the matter
had been forgotten.
Just after four o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon Mr. Gonnermann went to the
Office of the county clerk and secured
a license for the marriage with Mrs.
Dorothy and securing a court order for
an immediate marriage. Mr.. Conner
mann and his bride went to Milwau
kee and the marriage contract was
signed, sealed and delivered at the
home Of Judge John G. Karel, judge
Of the county court of Milwaukee
county just before eight O'Clock Tues
day evening. Judge Ka4@ is Exalted
Ruler of the Milwaukee Lodge Of Elks
and one of the closest friends Of Mr..
Gonnermann and for this reason he
was selected to perform the ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gonnermann spent the
evening in Milwaukee and are expect
ed TO return to Kenosha some time to-
day after which they will leave for
the west to spend an extended honey
moon. A portion Of the winter will
be spent at Los Angeles and early in
the spring they will make a trip along
the Pacific coast going to Portland in
July next to attend the annual Grand
Lodge sessions Of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks.
Both the bride and groom are wide
ly known in Kenosha, Mrs. Conner
mann is the widow of the late Ansel
T. Dorothy former well known rail
way man and she has been active in
church and charitable work in the city.
She is widely known as an artist.
Mr.. Gonnermann has been active in
the affairs Of the city for many years
but for the past ten years has been
retired. He is a Past Exalted Ruler
Of the Kenosha Lodge of Elks and has
been one of the most active members
Of the lodge in Kenosha and this fact
has made him widely known among
Elks throughout the state. On Tues
day afternoon Mr.. Gonnermann made
his regular daily visit to the Elks
lodge rooms and joked with the other
members of the order, but he failed
to make any statement to indicate that
he was open to congratulations. He
slipped away from the lodge rooms just
in time to get the license and meet
his bride for the trip to Milwaukee.
Following their long honeymoon in
the west Mr.. and Mrs. Gonnermann
will reside at the Gonnermann resi-
dence on Market street
Many friends of the bride and groom
will be pleased to extend congratula-
tions even though the marriage did
come as a great surprise.

sufficiently productive TO make slave

did not eat cornbread, hog and

less fortunate neighbors further in
