Close on to $50 of these, and Ill each one of them there is that desirable blending of good taste and good service and good looks.

View these coats from every angle and you will note that they possess qualities far su perior to those which you, from past experience, would expect in coats at so reasonable price They differ from the usual run of coats as nov city coats should and in addition, they offer the most absolute protection against the damp, chilly days that will be our portion until the weather man announces ssspring." These coats will interest women who had planned to spend more than $500 They will demonstrate that 35.O0, in this case, will buy the limit ill coat values And the woman who had planned to spend no more than $500 will be overioyed with the beautiful styles and superior qualities of the coats from which she may choose at her price

Ben Bucknnster
Gets Naual Commission

Ben Buckmaster, former Kenosha
High School graduate, who later grad
uated from the University of Wiscon-
sin, has been commissioned as CEN
sign" in the United States navy. This
is a rank corresponding with the rank
of second lieutenant in the army and
Bpckmaster won his commission fol-
lowing a competitive examination in
which he stood well up at the head of
large class of candidates. He re-
ported at New York on Monday to be
assigned to ship duty in the navy. It
is expected that he will be assigned
to the engineering corps or sent for
immediate service overseas. Ensign
Buckmaster was among the first of The
Kenosha men to volunteer for service
after the beginning of the war and he
was assigned as an engineer in the
Mosquito fleet.'' The commander of
the Barat on which he has been serv-
ing as engineer has made request to
the navy department that he be as
signed to the engineering corps and to
the same ship. 1t is certain that En-
sign Buckmaster will get into the big
fight in the very near future.

Accused Minister
III in Kenosha
The Rev. Walter G.. Blossom, Charged
With Serious Ofense, Too Ill to
Appear in Court Tuesday.

The fact that the Rev. Walter G.
Blossom, former well known Racine
rector and more recently rector of St.
Stephens Church in Milwaukee, is very
i'll in Kenosha, was revealed on Tues
day when a case of serious nature
against him was called in the district
court in Milwaukee. Attorneys for the
minister declared that he was very i'll
in sanitarium at Kenosha. 1t was
declared that he had been in Kenosha
for several weeks and that his condi-
ton was such as to make it impossible
for him tc appear m court. A "Mrs.
Alderman who was mentioned in the
warrant on which the minister was
arrested, has not been located by the
officials. The case against the minister
was continued until next Tuesday and
it is thought possible that the Rev. Mr..
Blossom will be able to be in court
at that time. While the minister has
many friends in Kenosha none of them
knew that he had sought seclusion at
the Kenosha Institution. It was said
that he was suffering from a nervous
and physical breakdown and that his
condition was regarded as serious by
the physicians attending him.

a physician for some time. The driver
Of the truck, V. A. Hathaway, was de-
tanned and brought to police court by
Officer Rock when he refused to di-
vulge his name and the details Of the

tirely to blame for the accident, but
the damages viii probably be settled
out of court.

Clever Horse Thieves
Elude Police and Sheriff
Officials Seek Some Trace of Horse
and Runabout Stolen from Ke-
nosha on Last Friday.


Last Friday two well dressed young
men went into the Kimball and Kraii
livery barn on Park street and rented
a horse and runabout, stating that they
wanted to make short trip out into
the country. This morning the police
department. sent cards to all surround
ing cities offering reward for the ar
rest Of the men or the recovery Of the
horse and runabout which is valued at
two hundred dollars When the men
failed to return with the horse on last
Friday night the owners of the livery
barn made a report to the police. They
were, however, slow to believe that the
horse had been stolen and the two men
appeared to be clean cut young fell
lows and the livery men thought it pos
sible that they had met with some ac-
cident which made it impossible for
tnem to prIng the horse back. With
nearly week passed and no word Of
the horse It is now thought pretty GER
tain that the horse has Joined lot of
others at the port Of missing equines.
This is the second horse to be stolen
from Kenosha within the past month.

BOYS DISTANCE The GIRLS
Falling Off in Number Of School Chill
dren Is Shown in Five of the Nine
Wards of City-over 4, 1000 Children
Of Compulsory School Age.

A strange state of affairs is shown
in the final figures on the school census
made public by the Office of the super
intendent of schools today, for while
the census shows a decrease Of ninety
three children from the number ennum-
Grated year ago, the enrolment of
the schools shows an increase Of more
than three hundred children. The
figures of the school census shows that
there are 1921 children between the
ages of four and twenty years in Ke-
nosha this year as compared with 1914
in the preceding year. There are
4,169 children of compulsory school
age-between the ages of seven and
fourteen years.
The report of the census shows that
there has been falling off in the
number of children Of school age in
the first, fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh wards of the city with an adj
vance in the other four wards. It
shows that the boys of Kenosha are
more numerous than the girls and that
the number Of boys is 1852 as COM
pared to 1850 of the fairer sex. The
report shows that the parochial schools
of the city are making large contri-
button to the educational work by
taking care of more than | 500 children.
The lists are being carefully checked
up and compared with the lists made
in former years and children who are
found to be missing in the census just
completed are being sought out. The
officials recognize the necessity of hav-
ing the census absolutely correct
on account of the fact that the
allowance of state school money is
made on this census.
The census would indicate that the
present population of Kenosha is
28,673 at tie present time. This is
some twenty thousand less than The
estimate mado by the census bureau
on which the draft of men for the
army was based. The division of the
children of school age in the various
wards of the city is given as follows:

SPEED AND SPICE.
The Jollies of 1917 Will Present
Scenes That Move With Wealth of
''Pace'' the Worlds of ''Pep."

space" the Worlds of ''Pep.''
Like an express train suddenly flash
ed on the screen of motion picture
house, great drivers sending the huge
engine along at a mile-a-minute clip,
will the fun begin in each of the two
nights, next Monday and Tuesday, aban-
doned to joy by the B. P. 0. Elks in
their "Jollies Of 1917" at the Rhode
Opera House. From the first curtain
to the final clump Of the last drop, the
mile-a-minute clip will apply to the fun.
But unlike the express train, the speed
of the MINISTRIES de luxe long will linger
in the memories Of those fortunate
enough to secure tickets. And now
comes the important bit, the nucleus,
around which everything revolves if
you are among those whose fate it is to
be "out 'front.' at the Rhode next Mon
day and Tuesday nights. Even so the
real thing as an Elk minstrel show must
bow to exacting physical conditions.
And the seats at the Rhode, alas, are
limited. Thousands are desiring to see
the big show. The answer is apparent.
IF you re going, the Rhode box office
is a place you must visit first for it is
there that the greatest mob scene ever
staged in Kenosha was presented at
noon today, when the aforesaid limited
seating capacity Of the Rhode was
placed on sale. Hundreds Of seats went
like whirlwind but there are good
ones left, and while there are tickets
there's hope. But speed is necessary.
The show this year instead Of opening
with the regular minstrel part will have
two scenes for a prologue preceding the
minstrel section. In it a plot, real
plot, mind you, viii be revealed as the
cause for the MINISTRIES appearance.
Appearing in this scene viii be sing
ing and dancing chorus of bell-Boys and
taxi-drivers. This chorus will be made
up of Harold Curtis, Ernest Edwards,
Billy Purnell, Joe Drffy, Milton Beck
man, Cletus Kupfer, and Stanley Han
son.

self from the charge of "slaeker" to-

failing to register, was not ready to
take the same course. He has assert
ed that he was in Michigan on regis
tration day aud that some one told
him that it was unnecessary for him to
register on account OF the fact that he
had no citizen papers. He declared
today that he was not DESTROYS Of be-
coming a citizen. The federal officials

CLASSES IN DANGER
Some Courses May Be Discontinued IN
less Later Enrolment Brings TO Mini
mum Of Fifteen Students for Each
c1ass-Meets Again Thursday.

The Central High School building
was lighted from basement to ceiling
Tuesday evening for the first meeting
of the Kenosha night school for this
term and more than two hundred peo-
pie answered the call of the school
room to make themselves better fitted
for their hfe's work. The classes Or
gained ranged in number from one in
lip reading for the deaf of the county,
to thirty in the mechanical drawing
class The ages Of the ''school boys
and girls" varied all the way from
seventeen to fifty and the work was
started by all with an enthusi-
asm which showed that they were
there for business.
The enrolment was not as heavy as
had been expected and the classes will
be kept open until Thursday night for
additions. The industrial board has
set minimum of fifteen for each
class and if this is not raised on Thurs
day evening, many of the most inter
esting courses of the school must be
discontinued. 1t is believed that per-
usual of the following courses which
were started Tuesday evening and the
enrolment in each will lead to numer-
Gus additions at the recitation rooms,
Thursday evening.
A list of the enrolment shows the
following: Card and sign painting, &;
architectural drawing, Z; mechanical
drawing, 81 mathematics, Is; book
keeping, 10; stenography, 90; type
writing, 8; telegraphy, 10; English I,

city and explain to the employees the
opportunity for advancement which is
offered to them free. These visits will

for English for foreigners as it is be-
lieved that many Of these have not ao
yet learned of the existence of the
school. Special attention is callel to
the fact that the course in commercial
law is in danger of being discontinued
in spite Of the fact that it is one of
the most useful and practical courses
In the entire school.
Work at the school on Tuesday
evening was necessarily of the nature
of organization and the~classes were
dismissed after short sessions. The
regular recitations, which are to be
held twice week, will commence at
seven-thirty Thursday evening and will
last for one hour and e. half. The
work is to be divided into short unit
terms of eighteen lessons each, allow
ing entrance for the division of the
work into seperate courses and entrance
only for that party which the individ-
ual feels his need.
