a person as Christ. But when the res
eryation schools opened oil Of these
things were taught much against the
desire of the old Endianss who did NOT
care to have their offspring reared in
the path Of the paleface. whom they
so despised. The mothers used to move
their tepeea close to the reservation
schools, and every might they would try
to worm out OF the child everything
the teacher had taught her during the
day. Progress with the red children
was thus delayed until an order against
the women coming near their children
during the school season was issued
and enforced. The little girls are quick
ID learn, and the boys are apt and
witty.

WOULD DEPoRT WOMAN
Local Officials Ask Federal Agents to
Send Mrs. Rohrback to Germany

County Clerk Russell n. Jones has
made a formal demand on the Federal
officials for the deporting of Mrs. Mar
la Rohrbaek, woman thirty eight
years old, who is now in Kenosha and
seemingly without friends or relatives
to care for her. The woman is said to
be predetermined and efforts to find any
of her relatives have failed. She came
to Kenosha from Germany in January
of 1913 and she is now being cared for
by friend at a house on Erie street.
In order to safeguard the county
against the woman being declared a
charge on the county, Clerk Jones
made report on the case to the fed
eral officials last fall and at that time
they ordered that the woman be held
here on account of the fact that the
war in Europe had made it impossible
to arrange for her being returned to
her native land. 1t is probable that
she will be sent back to Germany with
in week if physicians who have been
instructed TO make an examination of
her find that she is able to make the
trip.

Came to Kenosha Years Ago as Trav-
cling Doctor and Later Built Up Big
Practice in the City-Was a Lover
of Out-of- Door Life.

DR.. G. w. Beemer, one of the best
known of the practicing physicians of
Kenosha, died at his home on Eliza
beth street just after FIVE clock Sun
day morning after an illness of many
months from complication of diseases.
Dr.. Beemer had been taken i'll last
Thanksgiving day and for many weeks
he was at st. Mary's hospital in Ra-
cine. Some time ago he returned to
his home in Kenosha and his friends
and relatives had been hopeful for his
recovery until a few days ago when he
had relapse and from that time until
his death came on Sunday morning he
had been sinking rapidly.
Doctor Beemer was the most unique
member of the medical profession in
Kenosha. He numbered among his list
OF patients many well known people of
the city and they had been intensely
loyal to him. His coming to Kenosha
was unusual. Many years ago he came
to Kenosha at the head of a band Of
doctors who had been travelling from
city to city. He decided to locate here
and shortly after his first visit he open
ed an office. He was not connected
with the Kenosha County Medical AS
ISOLATION and his stand on his right to
pursue his business along his own lines
caused him to be under fire from the
association on several occasions.

life, an ardent hunter and an enthusi-
astic follower of the rivers and brooks.
For many months he made his home in
tent on the lake shore at the north
end of the city. He was an authority
on the habits of many kinds of wild
game. Dr. Beemer had offices at the
corner of Main and Market streets and
he was known to have treated hundreds
of poor people without seeking any
thing for his services. His death will
come as a great sorrow to many peo-
pie in the city who had come into close
contact with him.
DR.. Charles Wilkin Beemer was born
July %, 1869, at Simcoe in Ontario. He
was graduated from the University of
Toronto and later from Trinity Uni
versity and began the practice of medi-
cine shortly after he left the univer-
sity. He was in the active practice of
his profession in Milwaukee, Port
Washington and Kenosha.
DR.. Beemer is survived by his widow
and two children, BIZ his mother, Mrs.
Emeline Beemer in whose care he had
shown tender interest for years, by a
brother DR.. F. E. Beemer of Cleveland,
O., and sister, Mrs. F. A. Watts, who
resides in Michigan.
DR.. Beemer was member Of the
Knights Of Pythias, the Eagles and the
Moose, and he had. taken an especial
interest in the work of the Knights
of Pythias in Kenosha.

When the council takes up the big
problem of the regulation of the jitney
it should approach it with belief in
the permanancy of the new common
carrier in the transportation field
There is every indication that the lit
ney is here to stay. The public has
taken to the jitneys like duck takes
to water and while it is not to be ex-
pected that the business Of the buses
will be as heavy as it is at present,
when the charm of novelty wears off,
there will be enough to keep many of
the vehicles in operation all the year
round. The most important provisions
of any ordinance regulating the lit
neys are those which deal with the pro-
lection of the public and the financial
responsibility of the people operating
the ears, although just at present more
stress is being laid both by officials and
jitney owners on the possibilities of
the jitneys as revenue producers for
the cities in which they operate There
need be no limitation on the number of
machines which may be licensed at any
one time. That will adjust itself auto
matically for no more machines can
stay in the business than can make liv-
ing profits.
