school. COMMITTEE MEETS.
Members Of Governing Committee Find
Power IS Decidedly Limited

The county school committee, head
ed by a. G.. Pacey Of Wilmot, met at
the court house this morning for the
second formal meeting since its or
ganization. The only business Of I'M
portance to come before the meeting
was the certifying to the clerk Of the
county the appointment OF Lewis
NORM as supervising teacher for the
county. Mr. NORM began his work
several weeks ago, but his appoint
ment was not formally certified to the
county clerk
The members of the committee in
clude Mr.. Pacey, Frank R. Stuart of
Bristol, and Mrs. William Heidersdorf
of the town Of Paris.
"There is not great deal for the
county school committee to do,' said
Chairman Pacey at the meeting this
morning. lin the days Of the old
county board of education we had
lot Of things to keep us out Of mischief
but it seems that the duty of the
county school committee is decidedly
limited. In the old days the members
of the county board of education spent
lot of time visiting the schools and
making suggestions to the officials Of
the various districts. Under the new
law this work is placed largely in the
hands Of the supervising teacher and
the work of the committee is mostly
listening to appeals, if there be any,
from the action of town boards in the
Encouragement Of school district lines.
Every member of the committee is 60
ing to take just as much interest in
the schools as they did in the old DAYS,
but under the law the things to be
done by the committee are decidedly
limited"

NEW BRIDGE TO BE ERECTED.

At last the bridge north of Zion City
is to be pulled down. Specifications
have been prepared by Charles Russell,
County Superintendent of highways,
for the construction of the 1Kellogg
BRIDGE and bids will be opened at
the Office of the county superintendent
of highways in Waukegan at 1870 D. m.
October 18th.
The building Of this bridge has been
found necessary owing to the dangerous
condition of the present structure
Time and again autoists have been in
danger of losing their lives crossing
this bridge, and already seven auto
mobiles and two wagons were hurled in
to the ravine below. Fortunately, how
ever, no one has been killed so far, and
the county officers can congratulate
themselves that so far no very serious
accident has occurred.
Besides new bridge the hills on each
side of the bridge are to be graded for
a distance of 600 feet. The contractors
may submit their own plans and speci-
fcations, but the work must be begun
ten days after acceptance and complet-
ed by December 1st.

MADE KEYS IN PRISON.
Keys Used in Entering Houses Alleged
to Have Been Made at Joliet.

Old John Holler, who was sentenced
to a term of five years in the state
prison from Kenosha some time ago,
is still making confessions. He made
one yesterday to officials Of the state
prison at Joliet, ILL.,, who went to the
Wisconsin prison to get an interview
with Holler. The prisoner admitted
that the keys which he used to get in
to houses in Kenosha were manufactur-
ed in the machine shop at the Joliet
prison. Holler seems to be ready to
start over and to aid the officials in
starting other men over. After the
Joliet officials got the facts from Holler
search was made of the men who
work in the machine shops at Joliet
and great pile Of skeleton keys were
found. 1t appears that making skele-
ton keys was one of the chief indus
tries of the machine shops.

GETS PURPLE BLANKET.
Northwestern University Not Forget
full of Prowess of Old Time Athletes.

Northwestern University is not for
getful of the prowess of its old time
athletes. Way back in "umpty
seven" Edward G. Theirs, who is now
the president of the N. r. Allen s
Sons company, was one of the star
players on the Northwestern baseball
team. He was real champion base
ball player Years after Mr.. Theirs left
college the University Athletic asso-
citation adopted the plan of presenting
great purple blankets to the men who
won real honors for Northwestern.
On Thursday President Theirs got a
bulky package at the tannery office
and when he opened it he found great
purple blanket with the EN- of hon
or in the center of it, The tardy
recognition of his work for Alma Mater
revived lot of happy memories. Mr..
Theirs works out all Of his athletic
enthusiasm down on the links of the
Kenosha Country club and on the first
cold day he will be expected to appear
properly protected with the blanket
which he won by his athletic ability
during the university days. At any
rate Mr.. Theirs is proud not to have
been entirely forgotten.

BETTER SERVICE COMING.
Commercial Superintendent of Tele-
phone Company Says They Are Busy.

F. M. McEniry, Commercial Super
intendent of the Wisconsin Telephone
company followed Traffic Manager
Chandler In making an investigation of
the Kenosha situation on Thursday af-
ternoon and in an interview he declar-
ed that better service for Kenosha was
certain and within very short time.
We have splendid equipment here, "
said Superintendent McEniry, "and all
that is needed is some adjusting in or
der to get proper results out Of this
equipment. We have neglected the sit
uation in Kenosha and our investiga
lions show that the complaints against
service here are well founded. We want
to meet the demands of Kenosha and
meet them in all fairness and we are
now busy looking into the matter and
making such adjustments as will quick
en- up the service and make it salts
factory"
The interest that the head officials
of the Wisconsin company are showing
in Kenosha should bring results.

FIND ALEXANDER TOTTEN.
Man Sought by East Orange, New Jer-
sey Woman Found in Cemetery.

sey Woman Found in Cemetery.
Alexander Totten has been located.
Several days ago the chief Of police
received message from Mrs. H. O..
Eysenbach Of East Orange, New Jer-
sey seeking facts in regard to Alexan-
der Totten who the letter intimated
was dead at East Orange. The chief
asked for information and he got it
today. It was in the form of burial
certificate which showed that Totten
had died in the Kenosha city lookup
and had been buried in the Kenosha
City cemetery. It is evident that the
woman down in East Orange is looking
for the personal effects of Totten rath-
er than for Totten himself. The fact
that Totten had died at the jail had
entirely escaped the notice Of the de-
partment. So far as is known the old
man has no personal effects in Kenosha
At the time of his death considerable
effort was made to locate his relatives
but it failed to bring any results. The
woman in East Orange will be notified
of the discovery Of the police.

TENTH WARD" ON THE FIRE.
People Living in the Extreme South
West Getting Ready for New Ward.

The Tenth Ward of the city of
henosha is on the fire. People living
IN the extreme southwest corner of
the city are getting ready to ask the
city council to give them representa-
tlor in the common council. Several
meetings have been held among the
people in that neighborhood of the city
and within the hext month a petition
will be In circulation asking the coun,
ell to set off large portion of what
is now the Ninth ward and give it a
new ward designation. The exact ter
rltory to be taken in by the petition
has not as yet been determined but it
will probably include all OF the terri
tory west of the Chicago and Milwau-
kee tracks and south of Prairie avenue.
The property owners there are going TO
wait until after the next meeting of
the council before putting their petit
tions in circulation. If the council de-
cides on redistricting of the city the
petitions viii not be circulated but the
"Tenth warders' will take their
chances with the rest of the people of
the city. Many of the most prominent
men residing in this big section of the
city are interested in the plan. The
demands of the newly annexed terri
tory are particularly interesting to
these people and they believe that they
should have special representatives to
look after their interests on the coun-
Gil and board of education.

Big sTIMulANT For TRADE
Merchants Will Give People Extra
ordinary Bargains In Order to Have
Them Get Chance to See Just What
Kind OF Shops Kenosha Has.

NOW It's Dollar Day. Kenosha
people may have no idea of the lot of
things that can be done with big
iron dollar but the Kenosha Re
tailers' association is going to make
an effort to educate them. For years
there have been cities in Wisconsin
and in other states where Dollar
Day. has been made a feature and
Kenosha is going to get in line.
What IS dollar day. It's day set
apart by all the merchants for getting
dollars and for giving the people who
roll the dollars over the counter the
biggest dollars worth that they ever
had in their life. Of course ttDollar
Day. is aimed to be a trade stimulant
but it is also to have something in it
for the people who are to contribute
the dollars.
The Kenosha dollar day is now
scheduled for Friday, November 5th,
but this date may be changed If it
fails to meet with the sanction Of the
larger number of merchants in the
city. There will be nothing sectional
in Dollar Day in Kenosha. Every
merchant in the city and it matters
not what he sells to get dollars will be
invited to take part. He must, how
ever, pledge himself to give the peo-
pie a real dollar s worth. In some Of
the stores articles which would regular
ly sell for as high as two dollars will
be offered for one on this one particu-
lar day. 1t is planned to make it a
day of real bargains in which the
women-and men too-can revel.
With the Retailers association work
ing hard on the proposition there is no
doubt but that it is going to be a
success.
We want every merchant in Keno.
sha to feel that he is invited to have
part in this new dollar day. said
Secretary Theleen this morning. It
is not aimed so much as trade stimu-
liant as to get the people Of Kenosha
to appreciate better their home stores.
It is generally conceded that Kenosha
Opo10o VIZ 0o SlOdb 1nuuCC1uGuJS W
the general trade as the stores of any
city of the size in the country and
much greater inducements than are or
dinarily found in cities. While GER
tain portion of the people in the sur
rounding territory appreciate this many
Of them do not and the idea of Dollar
Day is to get these people to come to
Kenosha and see what the Kenosha
stores have to offer. I feel certain
that dollar bargains such as never
have been seen anywhere will be Of
fered in the Kenosha stores on this
day. We want to make the idea one
that will appeal to every man in the
retail trade in Kenosha and the asso-
citation is going to put every drop of
red blood it has in it behind the move
ment. We want the people to join in
with us and tell their friends about
Dollar Day. and invite them to get
into Kenosha on that day and see what
Kenosha merchants have to offer. -
Many Of the merchants Of the city
who have seen the success of dollar
days in other cities in past years have
been anxious to try out the plan in
Kenosha and these men feel certain
that it will prove an annual or semi
annual event when the people have
once tried out the plan.

OUT ON LONG HIKE.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. D. Berry Walking from
Chicago to Mineral Point Stop Here.

Mr.. and Mrs. B. D. Berry, two com
panionable souls evidently drifting
down on the shady side of life, but still
filed with the enthusiasm of youth,
dropped into Kenosha Friday night.
They were walking. Clad in kahki
made for both man and woman they
were hiking from Chicago to Mineral
Point. They admitted that they had
not made any wager that they could
make the trip and that the only prize
they were seeking was the fresh air
and the real enjoyment of outdoor life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Berry carried with them
a camping outfit and a supply of food
which they expect will be sufficient TO
last them until they get to Mineral
Point. They stopped in Kenosha long
enough to make call at the Office of
the superintendent Of schools.
