People who take pride in the APP
pearance of the city, and their num-
Der is increasing every year, are de-
lighted that the park commission is to
have charge of all trimming of trees
and shrubs which may be ordered by
the city. A certain amount of this
cleaning up is necessary, although
many people will contend that there
has been altogether too much of it on
some Of the streets, but the employees
Of the park commission can be trusted
to do the mangling very gently in the
future. One great Improvement will
be that the employees Of public SER
vice corporations stringing wires will
not be permitted to chop and hack
just as they please to run their lines,
but will be required to do their part in
preserving the natural beauties of the
city even though their employers are
put to slightly increased expense. Ke-
nosha has suffered about as much from
the vandalism of corporations in this
regard as from that of individuals.

PREDICTED HIS DEATH.

ton of the End Saturday.

IT am going to lay down and die. y
This was the statement made by Sam
uel Spiney, an aged Jewish resident to
members of his family at his home, 462
Jenne street on Saturday afternoon.
Ten minutes later he was dead. DIR.
Bernstein, who made an investigation,
gave the cause of the death of the man
as apoplexy. spiney had been in fair
health during Saturday morning, but
in the afternoon he had complained of
being very i'll. He finally went 20 the
bed and declared that he thought the
end was near. Death came without the
sign of struggle and even after he
was dead members Of the family be-
lieved that he was sleeping. The de-
ceased was sixty-eight years of age
and is survived by widow and several
children. The remains were taken to
Chicago on Sunday and the funeral

The report of the committee was

1t is due to the liberal patronage

The dedication of Jewish syna-
gogue in Kenosha adds new chapter
to the city's history, it affirms the
steady growth of our beautiful city

the right kind of citizens for il is an
acknowledged fact that the Jew is al
ways the most loyal Of the loyal citi-
zens in every county where any de-
gree Of freedom is granted to him and
often where it is not. A Jewish temple
in Kenosha or any other small town
has marked significance upon Jewish
nationalism: it Is responsible for the
fact that the Jewish spirit still re-
tains a strong hold upon our younger
genera ton. Without it multitudes of
our fellow Jews would have long ago
drifted away so far as to be entirely
lost to us. The thinking Jew cannot
but perceive that people with such
magnificent history, although separat-
ed from their native soil and political
center, during dispersion Of twenty
centuries people that retains to
such marked degree it's social and ma

Silver Jubilee in Madison Sunday.

The Rev. Henry Dreis Celebrates His
Silver Jubilee in Madison Sunday.
Many Kenosha people went to Madi-
son on Sunday to attend the silver
jubilee celebration of the Rev. Henry
Dreis, former assistant pastor of st.
George church Father Dreis was or
dained to the priesthood just twenty
five years ago and a good part of his
quarter century of service was given
in Kenosha. Father Dreis was educat-
ed at st. Francis seminary and on his
ordination he was sent to New Nun
ster where he remained for a short
time before he was transferred Ito
Kenosha to be assistant to his brother,
the late Joseph Dreis, who was then
pastor of st. George church. Later he
was transferred to the church at Sank
vile where his work was blessed with
abundant measure of success. He went
to Madison only a few years ago.
Father Dreis was always very popu-
lar with the people of st. George
church and many Of them sent letters
and kilograms of congratulations on
his completion of his twenty-five years
in the priesthood.

Not long ago a national bank in
country town of only a few thousand
inhabitants was closed by the bank
examiner. The concern was a pretty
complete wreck and had not been in a
solvent condition for several years.
During that time it had been examin-
ed the usual number of times and its
crippled condition had not been dis
covered. Naturally some people blam-
ed the bank examiner and pointed to
the case as further proof of the super
fciaity of bank examinations in gen
eral
The trouble with this bank was that
for long time the cashier had been
systematically robbing it and cover
ing his defalcations with forged notes,
until finally the greater part of the
nominal assets consisted of forgeries.
The names forged to the notes were
mostly those of people living in the
town or its vicinity, who were in good
cedit there. The board of directors
comprised the usual quota Of local
business men, who were supposed to be
personally acquainted with people of
credit in that neighborhood.
Who should have detected this con-
stantly growing mass of forgeries
local directors or the bank examiner,
who at most spent two days in the
town two or three times a year, and
who by no stretch of imagination
could be supposed to know local sig
natures? In fact, the directors re-
manned blissfully ignorant of the con-
dition of their bank until the examin-
er-his suspicion aroused by an in
eident-unearthed the defalcation. 1t
lis regrettable fact, applying both to
national and state banks, that in a
great many cases the bank examiner.
and not the local directors, discovers
that the concern is being looted-Sat-

Of Wisconsin will be the handsomest
structure in the United States accord
ing to Lew F. Porter, secretary of the
capitol commission and supervising
architect. With the exception of the
Wisconsin capitol the most pretentious
structures are those of New York,
which will cost about $20,000,000 and
of Pennsylvania, which cost $S,000,000
neither in size, design nor architectural
beauty will either of the two eastern
buildings excel that of Wisconsin. The
cubic capacity of the state capitol will
be equal to that of the New York
building and will exceed that Of the
Pennsylvania structure.
The great dome Of the new build
ing rises 800 feet and four great wings
five stories high extend at the points
of the compass. The extreme length
Of the building from east to west and
from north to south will be 426 feet.
The ground area covered is about 120,-
900 square feet, of which the dome in
Icludes 10000. The capacity Of the
entire building exclusive of ap-
proaches, terraces and areas, will be
100000 cubic feet.
Vermont white granite, quarried at
Woodbury., VT, the hardest granite in
the country, is used for the exterior
walls, and vari-colored granite, marble
and stone are used in the interior.
The building has been under con-
struction seven years and it's reason
ably certain that it will be finished by
July l, 1916. Two wings, the east and
west, have been completed. The south
wing will probably be finished this
year. The steel frame of the dome is
erected and will be enclosed before
1913. The north wing Of the old CAPT
tol, the only part of the building still
standing, will be torn down next year
and the foundation for the new wing
laid. The new wing will be built in
1914 and 1915.
Contracts for all Of the work except
the interior fnishings of the north
wing have been let, carrying more
than 100000. The actual amount so
far spent on the buildings and heating
plant, the latter separate structure
half a mile from the capitol, is $3,673,-
431.15. The commission is authorized
to spend $1,oo0,00o a year and the
legislature has made provision by tax
alton and direct appropriation for &c.
100000 for the entire construction.
The heating plant, equipment ard tun-
mel work entailed cost of $500,OOO
A large warehouse is yet to be built
in connection with the plant, costing
100000.
The interior and exterior decorative
work will represent the best work Of
living sculptors and will cost a small
fortune. The paintings in the assem-
bly, and senate chambers will be by
world famous artists and will cost $50
600. The paintings in the governor s
reception chamber which is a reproduc-
ton of the reception room of the ducal
palace in Venice, were made by John
Balm, who received $4,000 for the
work. Frank D. Millet. Titanic VIC
tim, was under contract to produce the
paintings for the Supreme court cham
Der or $4,000 and another artist will
be recommended by George 3. Post &
Sons Of New York, the architects. The
capital park is being improved at a
cost of $4,000.

INCREASES CAPITAL STOCK.
K of C. Building Association Doubles
Stock at Meeting Wednesday.

At meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Kenosha knights of Column
bus. held at K. c. hall on Wednesday
evening it was decided by unanimous
vote of the directors to increase the
capital stock of the association from
$25, 900 to $4,000. This was done in
order to take care of the purchase of
the building formerly owned by the
English estate and to provide fund
for the remodeling of the property.
The purchase price of the building was
$4,000 and the $1,000 will be available
at once for improvements. The for
mer stock of the association had al
ready been sold and there is a big de-
mand for the new stock among the
members of the organization. At the
meeting ON Wednesday evening $1,000
of the stock was subscribed and
it is expected that all of the stock
will be sold within short time.
