Members of Masonic Order
Have Great Observance of
Past Masters Night.
THREE HUNDRED At BANQUET

One of the most notable gatherings
of Masons ever held in Kenosha, took
place at the Masonic Temple on Mon
day night when more than three
hundred members of Kenosha Lodge
No. AZ, and visiting members Of the
order, gathered for the annual cele-
bration of Past Masters night. This
year the celebration was made especial
" of memorial nature and the fact
that it was memorial to the former
Masters of the lodge brought to the
temple many of the members of the
lodge who had been active in other
days.
The lodge room was filed to over
flowing when the degree of Master
Mason was conferred upon DR.. Herbert
A. Robinson by a team composed en-
tirely Of Past Masters. Samuel @.
Newman acted as Worshipful Master,
Walter J.. Frost as Senior Warden,
Charles H. Blood as Junior Warden,
William II. Parry Jr., Senior Deacon,
John ]. Chester as Junior Deacon,
George Wallis as senior steward, James
S Barr as Junior Steward, and
Frederick G. Hannahs as secretary.
Other Past Masters assisting in the
work were Curtis H. Gephart, Frank A.
Marx, Henry j. Hastings and John B.
Maloney. The work was conferred on
the candidate with great solemnity, the
degree being fully conferred with the
full ritualistic ceremonies of the order.
AT half past ten O'Clock the large
company of Masons deserted the lodge
hall and went to the dining room where
a dinner was served by the members of
the Eastern Star. Covers were laid for
more than three hundred and so large
was the company that it was found
necessary to set the tables twice. A
program of toasts had been arranged
for, but il was so late in the evening
when dinner was served that it was
found impossible to carry out this pro
gram and the speeches were limited to
happy "reminiscences of the early days
of Masonry in Kenosha. Many of the
earlier members of the lodge told in
teresting stories of the days when the
lodge was young and many facts in re-
gard to the early leaders of Masonry
in Kenosha were brought out. During
the dinner music was furnished by the
Imperial Quartette and the quartette
responded to many encores.
After dinner was over there was an
informal smoker and social session
which continued until early morning.
In all the gathering was one of the
most successful ever held at the Ma
sonic Temple and it was notable as a
reunion of the members of the Keno
sha lodge.

and encroachment therein, and to cause
the removal of all distinctions In and
upon all streets in said city, the com
mon council may cause to be sum-
marily cut down and removed shade
trees standing within the limits of a
sidewalk and belonging to the AUDITING
lot-owner; that whether such trees are
distractions to travel and ought to be
removed is a matter to be determined
by the council in its discretion, and ex-
cept in case of an abuse of such dis
cretion the courts will not interfere:
that shade trees standing within the
limits of a sidewalk are not an en-
croachment upon the street, but an OBJ
struction, and their removal by the
proper authorities need not be preced-
ed by hearing on notice; and that it
is not necessary, in order that such
trees should constitute an obstruction,
so as to authorize their removal, that
they should interrupt or stop travel.
In that case the court saad:
The righy of the public to use the
street for purposes of travel extends
to the portion set apart or used for
sidewalks, as well as to the way for
carriages, wagons, etc., and, in short,
to the entire width of the street upon
which the land of the lot owner abuts.
AS against the lot owner, the city, as
trustee of the public use, has an un-
doubted right, whenever its authori-
ties see fit, to open and fit for use and
travel the street over which the public
easement extends, to its entire width;
and whether it will so open and i'm
prove it, or whether it should be so
opened or improved, is matter of dis
erection, to be determined by the public
authorities to whom the charge and
control of the public interests in and
over such easements is committed.
With this discretion of the authorities
courts cannot ordinarily interfere up
on the complaint of lot owner, so
long as the easement continues to ex-
ist. The public use is the dominant
interest, and the public authorities are
the exclusive judges when and to what
extent the street shall be improved.
Courts can interfere only in cases of
fraud or oppression, constituting mani
fest abuse Of discretion.''
Consideration of the case, including
view of the premises in question, leads
the court to the conclusion that the
discretion and power of the municipal
authorities in the instant case is not
exercised or proposed to be exercised
unlawfully and that the court cannot
interfere Herewith.
It follows that the plaintiffs motion
for permanent injunction must be de-
MED and the defendants motion that
the temporary injunction be vacated
must be granted. -

County Board Members Get
Ready For Fall Session
Opening in a Fortnight.
MUST SETTLE ROAD PROBLEMS

Notwithstanding the fact that inter
county officials plans are being actively
made for the annual fall meeting of
the county board which will open at
the court house week from next Wed
nesday and it is expected that the SEES
sion will be an epoch making one.
Chairman John T. Yule has already
begun to line up the members of the
various committees with view of
completing the work with as much dis
patch as possible. THE coming ses-
sion is going to be an important one, u
said Chairman Yule. HOf course the
big thing is to be the readjustment of
the road work following the decision
of the supreme court, but I am con-
WINGED that the members of the county
board will work out this problem in a
manner that will be satisfactory to the
people of the city and the towns and
In manner that will insure the con-
tinuance of the permanent improve
ment of the roads in the county. Of
course the appropriations for road
work will not be as large as they have
been this year, but I feel certain that
the plan of the board will be to do
the work in way that will command
the admiration of the people of the
whole county. There will be no back
ward step in this work in Kenosha
county and we will handle the matter
In common sense manner
One of the first questions to come
before the board will be the election
of commissioner Of highways to sue
coed John Herzog and the one best bet
is that Mr.. Herzog will be reelected
by an unanimous vote. His work has
been high grade and it has been sue
cessful in the building of real roads all
over the county. Many of the mem
bers of the board declare that his fail
ure of reelection would be a calamity
to the road building system in the
county.
There will be lot of old time prob
lemsN to come before the board The
tuberculosis sanitarium is to be back
on the job and petition will be sent
to the board asking that immediate ac-
ton be taken to secure the building of
the sanitarium. The normal school for
teachers will also be demanded of the
board again this year. The board must
make provision for the payment of the
salaries and expenses of the members
OF the county school board. The mem
bers of the board have served since
election without compensation, but it is
understood that the coming meeting of
the county board viii make provision
for the payment of all of their claims.

RUNK-JUsT PLAIN BUNK.
Body of .'selden Miller Fails to
Reach Kenosha on Return Trip.

bouy OF Seloen M1uer Fails to
Reach Kenosha on Return Trip.
The story from Philadelphia that
the body identified as that of Selden
Miller, Philadelphia musician had
been shipped back to Kenosha, is ap-
Psrently bunk-just plain bunk. The
plain wood box enclosing the body did
net reach Kenosha Friday night or this
morning nor did a single word come
to any of the officials that it is on the
way and the officials here are convine-
ed that the body properly identified
as that of Selden Miller has been laid
at rest in the Miller plot at the South
Laurel cemetery at Philadelphia. "No
we haven't got any word from Phila-
delphia, !" said Chief 0 Hare this morn
ing, and we are not going to get any
word. That story is one OF the biggest
bluffs to hide real facts that has ever
Teen pulled over in this country. You
con It think for a minute that we would
not have heard from Miller IS relatives
if the body taken east was not the
ran do youa This is just an effort to
cover up the real facts in this ease and
Il keeping with lot of other mystery
thrown about the case by members of
the Miller family" In the meantime
the papers all over the country are
carrying stories of the wandering
body, of the Pike River suicide. The
cypress companies here declare that
they have not been notified of any
tody being sent from Philadelphia.

LEASE OF LIFE FOR DOGS.
Fact THAI New Territory Pays no
Taxes to City May Save CANNES.

The dogs in the territory recently
annexed to the city are lucky dogs. In
all other parts of the city dogs are be-
ing ruthlessly slaughtered, but in the
new territory the dogs seem to be i'm
mune. emo improvements, no dog tax"
ic the new slogan of the people out in
the suburbs and they are insisting that
there be no slaughter of dogs until
such a time as the new territory is
given lights and other improvements.
Passive existence of the dogs has been
decided by the members of the com
mon council and it is very improbable
that the police officers will make any
effort to collect the tax in this terri
tory. Tt is declared that there are
several hundred dogs to escape taxa
ton as a result of the rule made by
the police.

STATE OFFICIALS IN CHARGE.
Illinois Sends Men to Zion City to En-
force Guarantees for Smallpox.

The Illinois state board of health
took charge of the smallpox situation
in Zion City this morning and four
regular agents of the board have been
established in Zion to have full charge
of the maintaining of the quarantine
and to force the guarantees from other
cities. DR.. G. E. Crawford of Spring
field, is in charge of the fight made by
the state board to stamp out the
disease in Zion and he has given as
surance that the cities surrounding
will be protected and that he will aid
in maintaining guarantees to prevent
Zion City people going to other cities,
The gates of Zion have been shut
and sealed by the state board and Zion
will be forced to live to herself until
the epidemic is at an end. There have
been threats of clash between the
state board and the Voliva adherents,
but the state is willing to send militia
if necessary to enforce quarantine reg
ulations. 1t is declared that the state
board members have unearthed many
cases of the disease at Zion and that
in the future all of them viii be quar-
antined. DR.. j. j. McShane, the local
officer, is in close touch with the work
being done by the Illinois board and
is acting with the board for the pro-
lection of Kenosha against the disease.
