WAS An INNOCENT BYsTANDER
File Stick Thrown During Trough
House at Assembly Session Strikes
Kenosha County Scion Under Left
Eye Infiicting a Painful Wound.

Assemblyman Dow j. Vincent Of the
town of Salem, who represents Keno
sha county in the lower house of the
Legislature at Madison, was quite Sc
verely cut near the left eye by the
sharp edge of flying bill file stick
during frolic of the members of the
legislature on Wednesday night. The
fun was started during call of the
house on the Ackley Water Power bill.
Assemblyman Vincent had taken no
part in the trough house, tactics and
he was one of the innocent bystanders
who had been watching the "horse
play of some of the more enthusiast
tic members of the assembly when the
stick of the bill file struck him full in
the face laying open a portion of his
face just under the left eye.
The injury to the Kenosha county
scion was at first thought to be very
serious. His face was covered with
blood and it appeared that his eye had
been cut by the sharp edge of the file
stick. DR.. J. J. Morgan of Durand,
Wis, happened to be in the room at
the time and he was called to attend
the wounded Kenosha county man and
he declared after he had dressed the
wound that the sight would not be af-
fected as result of the accident. It
is said that the bill file stick was
thrown by one of the members of the
Legislature from Milwaukee county.
The men who had taken part in the
rough house FASTENED to assure Assem-
blyman Vincent Of their regret that
he had been injured.

UPHoLDs TOWN BOARD.

Judge Belden Decides Fight on Road
Ditch in Favor of Town Officials.
Judge Belden of the circuit court
fled with the clerk of the court this
morning decision vacating the temp.
orary injunction which had been issued
in the case of Frank Symmonds ct al
against the town board of Pleasant
Prairie and Jacob Bentz. The iniunc-
ton was sought to prevent the town of
Pleasant Prairie from digging a ditch
for highway drainage. In his decision
the court held that the town officers
had in no way exceeded their authority
in ordering the construction of the
drainage ditch. It was held that anv
failure of the board to make the ditch
in keeping with the law was subject
to review by court action. It is posi-
BILE that the case will be back into the
courts under another form later.

II, 1914. Lincoln fortress being so
near have visited it several times. I
spent the better part of a week in
Oshkosh trying to revive G. D. Cleve-
land fortress No. s. Whether I accom-
plished any permanent good or not I
cannot say at present. It looks doubt
full but [ did my best. Our order is so
young that / am sure none realize the
responsibilities attached to the several
offices and so do not accomplish what
they otherwise might. In making my
appointments / have tried to appoint
from each fortress that all might have
a share in the department work, and
added interest.
"In issuing general orders, have
tried only to issue such instructions as
were for the good of the order I have
held quarterly board meetings Part
have been held in Racine and part in
Kenosha. / have spoken on several oc-
casions at public gatherings and before
several posts, corps and one circle for
the good of the order. I have institut-
ed in Kenosha Pickett No. l, children
Of the G. A. r. wish to emphasize
the Importance of this work and would
recommend that the department. of Wis
consin send in resolution to the ma
tional board to be brought before the
national convention in Washington,
making it possible to establish pickets,
posts at large or outposts directly under
the national or department chairman,
who will appoint or rather get a mem
Der at large of the Daughters of the
G. A. R. to take charge. This would
enable us to institute Junior orders
where there were no senior and so pave
the way for senior work
81 wish to acknowledge all courte-
sizes extended to me as department COM
mander by the Grand Army and allied
bodies, Commander Cook of the Grand
Army and Mrs. Emma Wettig, presi-
dent of the Woman s Relief Corps, who
have been especially kind, also COM
mander of Racine Post, the chairman of
reception committee here at Wausau
"Our own post and corps have done
all in their power for me locally. My
comrades of Kenosha fortress have
been most loyal, as have the comrades
of all the fortresses.
ri have tried to keep in touch with
all my commanders and will always
look back upon this year as most
pleasant one fraternally. Fraternity,
charity and loyalty are broad founda-
ton, exercise its spirit ever toward each
other and the older orders, show them
we wish to work in harmony.
GIVE are young in the work, have
much to learn and who could better
teach us than those who have gone be-
fore?"

TAKES PEsslMIsTIC VIEWS
School Authorities Hurry to Declare
Themselves Not in Sympathy With
Lecture and Urge Children and Par
ents to Try to Forget it.

The exercises in celebration of
eighth grade graduations were held at
the Coliseum last evening. 1t is the
verdict of the audience and school peo-
pie that SO far as the children IS part
of the program was concerned the
evening was q success. This is not,
however, the verdict upon the lecture.
1t did not express what the educational
workers of Kenosha stand for, and is
regarded by them as having contri-
buted very little to the purpose for
which lecturers on such occasions are
engaged.
The speaker, Prof. Albert Fl. John.
stone of Hamline University at st.
Paul, certainly mistook the occa-
sion and missed an exceptional OPP
Iortunity to impress the Importance
of education. Tn place of the beauti-
full and the good which children should
hear about, they were given a pessi-
mistic view of life. The city seemed
to be the especial object of attack of
the speaker. We all know that evils
exist in the city, but we also know
that the city is today safer place to
rear children in then the country pro
vided the home performs properly it's
part of the responsibility of child
rearing.
In an interview regarding the mat
ter Mrs. Bradford said she desired the
public to know that she and the school
principals and teachers were disap-
pointed in the lecture and that she
hoped sincerely that parents who
heard it will do what they can to
eliminate the chaff in it from the mem
cries of the young who heard it and
pick out for attention the few thought
seeds it contained. She says that in
the future lecturers before audiences
Of school children in Kenosha will be
asked to present their briefs before
being engaged for the service.
AS to the rest of the program the
professional with its one hundred and
sixty boys and girls, was beautiful
and impressive sight The song that
followed song so fled with hope
and purpose expressed we'll the great
reason for the education of youth by
the state, the preparation of men and
women who shall build great city.
The singing by the eighth grade of
the Frank school was most creditable
and the boys chorus displayed a
quality of tone and skill in part
singing that did credit to the music
director of the public schools, Miss Ed
ma Cameron, who has charge of all
this work.
The high school orchestra furnished
the instrumental music, for the march
and for the choruses. The giving out
of the diplomas was by W. J. Threinen,
president of the school board, who pre-
faced the presentation with few ap-
propriate remarks, in which he urged
the boys and girls to keep on with
their education.
The Coliseum was filed with the par
ents and friends of the children who
celebrated on this occasion the compile
tion of the first important stage of
their educational progress.
