WHAT AN ELEcTIc LINE COSTS.
A Few Figures for Pointers.

| There is considerable talk among local
capitalists and others interested about
constructing and operating an electric
street car line in Kenosha. That pay
ing business might in time be worked up
| there is no doubt, but it will take some
| thing of an investment in order to get a
plant in operation. We have taken some
interest in noting the development OF such
an enterprise in the city of Decatur, H.,
and it is fact that when the local COM
pany in that city figured upon the first
cost, S75, 900 was the maximum figure
which it was expected to invest. The
electric system has been in operation there
about three years and the company has to
date a total investment of something
more than $780, 900. In reply to an en-
quiry from the TELEGRAPH-COURIER as
to the approximate cost Of laying track,
paving, motor trucks and equipment the
secretary of the company writes:
Replying to yours of the 10th, would
state that we are using some thirty pound,
thirty-fve, forty and forty-eight pound
rail- but we think that it would be econo-
my for line operating four cars to put
in forty pound 1T" steel rail, for if we
put in new track we shall undoubtedly
put in fifty or sixty pound, as it does not
pay to put in light rail where you are OPP
Grating with electricity, owing to the fact
that the motor cars are necessarily very
heavy. 1t will take about sixty gross
tons Of forty pound rail to lay mile OF
track. We do not know what the value
of this rail is at present, but the last we
purchased cost us S34. go a ton. AS to the
expense in constructing mile OF track 1t
will depend altogether on the cost OF the
ties in your section, freights, labor, and
such incidental expenses. Here we fig
ure that it costs US about Sd, 600 mile to
CONSTRUCT the track. If it is paved it costs
us about 5000 mile. A motor car, in
Guiding the Thompson Houston motor
trucks costs about three thousand
dollars The car body and trucks alone
will cost from nine to eleven hundred
dollars Very truly yours,

II have never seen it mentioned" said
a returned Dwight patient, that one loses
his eye sight partly in the early days of
the treatment, but it is fact. Now what
are we to say if we wake up and find that
we can't read without glasses? 1t don't
make any difference because you have SO
much company. No trouble to find COM
panions. | only mentioned this to show
you another instance of the severity of the
treatment And yet | counsel every
drinking man to go there. All the diff
culties pass away within few days and
one gets over every unpleasant feature
easier than he can sober up from drunk.
I counsel every drinking man to go there,
because it is easier to conquer the drink
ing habit there | will admit that there
are some men who can stop drinking with
out any course at Dwight but it is an I'M
necessary persecution of the flesh. 1t is
all very we'll for the man who has never
been in the grip of the habit, to talk
about strength of will and all that, but
the steady drinker knows how strong is
habit and how weak is will.

The Why and Wherefore.

The fact that Rev. B. F. Sanford will
great disappointment to his congregation
and by some of the members it is hard to
understand why after an unanimous
request for his return Mr.. Sanford is not
allowed to continue his work with this
charge. 1t seems that large lobbying
delegation from the Waukesha church,
which is one of the strongest in the con-
ference, was on hand at Oshkosh with the
demand that Mr. Sanford should be sent
to them, and after two days of work in
this direction, telegram from Waukesha
to Mr. Sanford personally, demanding an
answer, yes or no, was received. After
talking the matter over with E. L. Grant,
the lay delegate from the Kenosha society,
it was decided that if the congregation
here be we'll supplied, consent would be
given for Sanford'S removal. Thereupon
the committee decided to locate Rev. F.
A. Pease at this point Mr.. Pease is one
of the most successful preachers in the
conference, and about SO years of age. His
family consists Of wife and four child
ren. He has been located at Wauwatosa
for three years, where he has been very
successful. While the Methodists here
feel disappointed in the removal of Mr..
Sanford, warm welcome will be extend
ed to the new pastor. Mr.. Sanford sue
ceeds the Rev. Henry 2. Haylett at Wau-
kesha. The society there is large and in
1uential, the preachers salary being list
ed at 81 400. A sort of farewell and well
come will be held in the church parlors
this evening, to which every one is in
vited.

To the Public.
The members Of the Kenosha Wheel
men take this method to make known
their disapproval of the careless manner
in which some of the Kenosha riders are
using the walks, realizing that wheelmen
have no right of way upon the walks
whatever, but are allowed to use the same
through the courtesy of the city council.
We respectfully hold in disapproval the
running down and lnjuring of a little girl
on Prairie avenue recently, and believe
that when occupying the walks true
wheelmgn will sustain injury himself be
fore he will allow his wheel to collide
with pedestrian. The conduct of the
rider in the above case was ungentleman.

A Fatal Blow.

There was lady of our town,
And she was wondrous wise;
She strayed into asdry goods store
That did not advertise.
And when throughout that store was heard
The echo Of her tread,
From top to bottom, on each floor,
The clerks all fell down dead.

serious responsibilities of the position. From
the start he achieved phenomenal success.
Nor was that success confined to New York.
He took the orchestra to Boston, Cincinnati and
Chicago, aud the musical verdict of those great
cities only emphasized the previous one In
Gotham. Not only did he enjoy his fathers
scholarly training but he was also pupil of
