FATHER BIENIARz HERE.
Former Pastor of st. Kasimer Church
Here on Way South to Recover Health.

The Rev. John Bieniarz, former pas
tor of ST. Kasimer's Church in Keno
sha, who gave up his work in Kenosha
several months ago on account of i'll
health. was in the city today saying
farewell to former friends and parish
toner's before leaving for Florida where
it is expected that he will spend sew
eral months. Father Bieniarz has not
been able to do any active work in the
ministry of the church since he left
Kenosha and he has spent much of his
time under treatment in Milwaukee.
His throat is in very serious condi-
ton, but he is hopeful that several
months in Florida will restore him and
that he will be able to resume his
work somewhere in the Milwaukee do
cese.

ORDINANCE rs IMPERATIVE.
People Instructed That They May Put
Ashes OF Sand on Walks of City.

A fool ordinance passed some years
ago by the commen council, which pro-
vided that property owners might not
put ashes and sand on the walks to
prevent accidents when the walks were
slippery, has been declared imperative
and an ordinance to repeal it will be
presented to the council at its next
regular meeting. This ordinance was
not aimed at conditions as they exist
at present, but to prevent ashes being
thrown on the streets at different
periods of the year. It is expected
that some plan will be worked out to
modify the ordinance and make it more
pliable. Many people have already
disregarded the ordinance and the city
officials have been challenged to make
test of it in the courts.

Resolutions by county boards of su-
pervisors sent to the legislature are
most valuable as showing the sentiment
against laws now on the statute books
of the state in the different counties
and the coming sessions of the law
making body of Wisconsin will be
flooded with the communications from
the county boards. There are indica-
tons that the coming session is going
to abolish some of the "freak laws
which have been generally condemned
by the people of the state and these
resolutions of the county boards will in
dictate pretty clearly which of these
laws should be operated on first.

fcials have been filed with County
Clerk Jones for the presentation to the
county board at the January session

many ways the fees earned for the
county were larger than in previous
years The reports of all three of the
officials at the county building show an
increase over the fees received in the
previous year and in all of the offices
the increase is a noteworthy one. It was
expected that the slack time would
cause slump in the real estate bust
ness in the city, but the report of the
register of deeds shows that hundred
dollars more fees were earned in his
Office than in the former year and more
mortgages were discharged than in the
previous year. The report of Mr.. Tor

was expended for postage.
The report of the county clerk is
featured with the large amount of
money collected from relatives of in
sane patients for their maintenance in
the various hospitals in the state.
The total collections for this fund dur
ing the year reached the high total of
$89S.79 This is decided advance
over sums collected in former years.

in the evening, the work being done in
an impressive manner. Music for the
installation was furnished by Mrs.
Richard Hawkins.
After the ceremonial was over there
were many speeches and presentations.
All of the retiring officials of the chap
ter were presented with tokens, the
presentations being made by Past
Worthy Patrons, Wenzel A. Matzke,
Henry J. Hastings, John Hughes and
Conrad Shearer. Mrs. Millager, the re-
firing Matron, was presented with a
handsome jewel Of the Past Matron 8
Office, the presentation being made by
Worthy Patron Conrad Shearer.
An interesting program was rendered
in connection with the presentations,
musical numbers being given by August
Meiser and Miss Edna Falk, while Miss
Harriet Schumann gave a very charm
ing reading and responded to an encore.
1t was after ten clock before the
ceremonies of the evening were complet-
ed and then the members of the Star
and their guests marched to the dining
room where a dinner was served under
the direction of Mrs. G. S. Lathrop.
Covers were laid for more than three
