relative to the actual standards of
institutions bearing the name college.
but varying in standard from that of
poor preparatory finishing schools to
institutions doing approximately three
years of real college work. Our OBJ
ject Is, therefore, not only to ad-
vertise the recognized colleges in the
South, but also to encourage the half
dozen or so institutions WHICH bid fair
to evolve within a few years into
standard colleges And in order that
our Southern institutions for the
higher education of women" will not
continue to be the laughing-stock OF
the educated world, we especially de-
sire TO bring about such public senti-
ment as will demand college work for
college degrees.
I'm this undertaking we shall, no
doubt, be greatly aided by DR.. Ken

specialist in higher education, who.

From the rapport of the committee OF

her Of the School Review, IL is evident
that nine-tenths OF the so-caIied col

evident that IL would be undesirable
as well an futile, for all of these nomi-
nal colleges to attempt to become real

LIBRARY NOTES.

Gilbert M. Simmons Library has
just completed its distribution of books
to the various schools of the city for
the remainder of the winter term. The
circulation of over six thousand fol- a
period of three months, shows a de-
sire on the part of the teachers to
place the best literature in the hands
of the children.
New Italian, Lithuanian, Holland
and Swedish books have been added
to the foreign departments, owing to
the increasing demand of the borrow
ers. The following books just pur.
chased are worthy of mention:
Bates-Pageants and Pageantry.
Bryce-South America.
Carrington-Fresh Aair and How to
Use 1t.
Dunean-Principles Of Industrial

ROAD HEARING SATURDAY.
State Highway Commissioners to Take
Up Question of South Park Ave.

A formal hearing on the petition
sent to the state highway commission
by the county board of Kenosha
county asking that the South Park
avenue road be taken from the county
highway system is to be held at the
court house on next Saturday after
noon at half past two O'Clock. County
Clerk Jones received letter from the
commission this morning stating that
this date had been set for the hearing
and that formal notice of the hearing
had been sent to all parties who had
taken an interest in the controversy.
The hearing will be in charge Of Com
missioner j. A. Hazelwood and he will
be accompanied to Kenosha by Engi-
neer A. r. Hirst who is pretty well
acquainted with road conditions in
this county. It is probable that the
property owners will be represented by
attorneys and if the decision of the
commission is against them it is
probable that the matter will find its
way into the courts Of the county.

|OPPOSE ANY CHANGE
Local Police and Fire Chiefs
Do Not Favor Proposed
New Law for State.
WANT COUNCILS TO CONTROL

Chief of the Fire Department Henry
Isermann and Chief Of Police Owen
o Hare are planning to take part in
the fight that is to be made to defeat
bill introduced into the assembly by
Assemblyman Baltis of Oshkosh and the
heads of the two departments in Ke-
nosha will ask Assemblyman Charles
Fl. Pfennig and State Senator Isaac T.
Bishop to do all in their power to Sc
cure the defeat of the bill. The pro-
posed law provides that Police and
Fire Commissions in all cities Of the
state shall be given much wider pow
ers. 1t takes from common councils
the right of fixing the compensation of
fire and police officials and places it
wholly in the hands of the commission.
In this way the entire policy of the
two departments is placed in charge
of the commission.
Chief Isermann declares that such a
law would make it decidedly difficult
to maintain discipline in the depart
ments and would make the heads of the
departments mere figureheads. Under
the present laws salaries of both the
police officers and the fremen are fixed
by the Common Council, while the
commissions have the right to employ
and discharge the members of the two
departments. The present plan has
worked to complete satisfaction in Ke-
nosha.

URGE HOSPITAL PLAN.
Board of Health insists that Isolation
Hospital is Necessity Here.


The Kenosha Board of Health held
a special session at tie city hall on
Saturday afternoon at which the ques-
ton of an isolation hospital for the
city was informally discussed. The
members held that there is still de-
mand for such an Institution in the
city and at the meeting of the COM
mon council this evening the special
committee will urge that some further
action be taken. While the majority
of the members of the committee are
favorable to the use of the 1eWash-
ington flats on Washington Island
they would be willing to consider an
other location if "a suitable one could
be found. The board of health with
a view OF making the health service
better has suggested to the council
the employment Of clerk for the
health office at a salary not to exceed
So a week. It is thought that with
such clerk the visiting nurse would
be able to give her entire time to tie
handling Of guarantees and the in
vestigation of contagious disease con-
ditions. No new cases of either scar
let fever or measles were reported to
the department today.

popular citizens. BE had been COM
mander of the Wisconsin Loyal legion,
was a member of E. B. Wolcott post,
had served as department commander
and as national Junior vice eomman-
der in chief.
Capt. n. 3. Judd of the Twenty
eighth New York succeeded Cart.
Ferguson serving four years, and like
Ferguson, most credibly. His success
sor was Capt. L. E. Pond, who was a
private in the Seventh Wisconsin and
won his way to captaincy for good
soldiership. He previously had served
term in the state senate.
He held the office until Mr.. Cleve-
land again assumed the presidency IA
1898, when the. late Capt. Joseph II.
Woodnorth, for many years comman.
dant of the Wisconsin Veterans home,
was appointed. Capt. WOODWORK had
served as private in the Twenty
first Wisconsin and Won honor and
promotion for his bravery.
The late Edwin D. Coe, who for
nearly forty years was editor of the
Whitewater Register, twice member
of the assembly, several years chief
clerk of the assembly, and who gave
way and made possible the nominal
ton of H. A. Cooper for congress in
the, First district twenty-four years
ago, was the next pension agent. He
held the Office six years and was sue
ceeded five years ago by Capt. F. Fl.
Magdeburg, who during the war serv-
ed in the Fourteen Wisconsin, and
since has lived in Milwaukee.
1t will be seen that the Office al
ways has been Tiled by union soldiers
and under every administration the
number of former soldiers as clerks
has been considerable. One of tho few
during the last ten years was Oscar
1. Crazy of Oshkosh, who witt Capt.
Magdeburg were the sole occupants
of the office on Thursday after eleven
had gone to Washington to resume du-
ties in the central office Among these
was Oswald Schmidt, who had been
chief clerk through many of the adj
ministrations. 1t is presumed chat in
Washington he will be placed in
charge of the business heretofore
transacted in Milwaukee.
The new system of pension pay
ments is likely to cause no small
amount of Inconvenience and possibly
serious trouble. Many of the veterans
are changing their addresses frequent
ly. Their checks may be sent to the
wrong address. Already in Chicago,
Milwaukee and other agencies post
masters who are directed to return
checks to the agencies within ten days
! if not called for have received many
such checks. That means that it will
take weeks and possibly months for
the checks to reach the pensioners to
whom they belong

CLOSE OLD AGENCY
Milwaukee Pension Agency
Long Used by Kenosha
Soldiers Is Closed.
new PLAN PROVES A PUZZLE

Thursday afternoon witnessed the
final closing Of the United States PEN
sion agency in Milwaukee. 1t had
been a busy place for nearly half
a century and during that time some
thing more than $25O,00O,0o0 has PASS
ed through it.
At one time or another, more men
have drawn their quarterly pension
from it than participated in any one
of the great battles of the civil war,
not alone on the union side, but the
confederate side as well. More than
100000 names have been on the pen
sion roll of the Milwaukee office from
first to last, and not that many
soldiers were in any one battle.
For twenty years the agency was
in the old postofice building, going
from there to the SolbyAbbot, thence
to the Plankington and from there to
the new federal building.
It was not very busy place the
first few years after the civil war, be-
cause the work of granting pensions
did not go forward with the speed of
more recent years.
An interesting cluster of men has
held the Office of United States pen
sion agent of Milwaukee, beginning
with Col. Michael H. Fitch, who was
first private and then a lieutenant
in the Sixth Wisconsin, was promoted
to adjutant of the Twenty-frst Wis
consin, reached the rank of lieutenant
colonel and commanded the regiment
in several of its great battles.
Col. Fitch did not hold the Office
very long. He has been a resident of
Pueblo, Colo, where he has prosper
ed as a stock raiser, banker and manu-
facturer He has published an inter
esting history Of the Twenty first
regiment.
Col, Fitch was succeeded by the
late Capt. Edward Ferguson of Mil
waukee, who was so badly shot to
pieces in the battle of Perryville that
he was not expected to return home.
Capt. Ferguson held the Office until
the term of President Grover Cleve-
land began in 1885.
He was one of Milwaukee's most

WOULD REPEAL LAW.
Local People Asked to Use influence to
Secure Repeal of Mary Ann Law.

Copies of bill Introduced into the
assembly providing for the repeal Of
the "Mary Ann" election law have
been sent to Kenosha and the officials
of the city have been asked to use
their influence to secure the repeal of
the law. The law provides for second
choice votes at primary elections. 1t
is not thought that repeal can be Sc
cured before the coming spring pri-
maries, but the men backing the bill
feel certain that there will be a suf-
fcient number of the members of the
legislature ready to vote against it
when it reached the floor of the two
houses. Local officials agree with
those in other cities declaring the bill
a nuisance.
