about 7.:3o p M started on their parade,
followed by the local members Of the Ar
my, with a few from Racine. They
marched down to the Main street bridge
and returned to the hail. The streets
were filed with people, the crowd re-
minding one of ''circus day On their
return from the bridge they We're followed
by mob Of fellows pounding on barrels
aud other improvised instruments and
making ca hideous noise. At several
points in the march members of the
Salvation Army were struck by. eggs and
stones thrown by hoodlums in the crowd.
Such an exhibition of low, narrow-minded
bigotry is disgrace to the city. The
city authorities had good enough reason
for permitting the Salvation Army par
ade, which was as peaceable and orderly
as any parade that ever passed through
our streets, but there was no reason nor
excuse for allowing the hoodlums and
toughs to vent their brutal and coarse
spite against this band of heroic and de
voted followers Of the Master. There is
one thing about the Salvation Army that
deserves always to be borne in mind
namely: there is neither glory nor wealth
in their professions and to be consistent
and constant under the abuse, jeers and
contempt Of a large, although thoughtless
element of the community, argues some
thing more in them than is found in a
large proportion of respectable, generally
esteemed professors in the churches.
Their loyalt. to their faith and beliefs is
little short of heroic and should receive
the respect and consideration Of every
man worthy of the name,
-Waukegan has taken a start which
will very likely land that place up some
where near Kenosha in a short time.
The location of the Washburn-M oen
Manufacturing Company in that town
has given things an impetus which will
keep them going for some time. The
most extravagant estimates are placed
upon the probable growth of the town
and real estate has gone Skyward. But
Waukegan has but one advantage over
Kenosha as manufacturing center and
that is the Belt Line Railroad. With
another railroad here, or the Belt Line
extended up to Kenosha, our facilities
would be much better than those Of
Waukegan. Our harbOr is thing Wau-
kegan can never duplicate and without it
can never hope to equal the natural adj
vantages offered by Kenosha One man,
Mr.. Jebb, of the Sugar Refinery, is cred
tied with doing the work required to get
the Washburn-Mo people to locate in
Waukegan. AS long as Kenosha has but
one railroad we will be handicapped in
the race, even with the favorable treat
ment the G. & n. w road gives our man
ufacturerS. But the rumors of another
railroad continue to spread and thicken
and the chances for the realization of the
long deferred hope grow brighter. The
following is from the Waukegan Gazette:
''Our people have for two or three years
expected an extension Of the Evanston
railroad to and through Waukegan, but
the matter has been delayed One reason
assigned was that the c., NJ & St. p
road, which was supposed to control the
Evanston line, was not in shape to spare
the money for the extension. A transac-
ton was effected a few weeks ago, which
puts new phase on the prospect and in
sures the extension of the road to Wau
kegan in a short time. The deal is the
purchase by the NJ. & Lake Shore road,
of the Evanston road. The NJ & L. S.
road runs from Milwaukee through the
iron regions Of Wisconsin to Ashland and
other northern points, and is very pros
porous road, having paid dividend late
" as high as 10 per cent. This deal will
at one move give it one of the finest en-
frances into Chicago, and upon the COM
pletion OF the line from Milwaukee to the
north end of the Evanston road, will at
once give it magnificent suburban pas
senger traffic. The Gazette is advised
that the above deal is fully perfected, and
the surveys for the line south already
made. The line through Waukegan is on
the lake shore east Of the G. & n. w.
tracks, and it crosses the E. J. & E. road
just east Of the Sugar Refinery and then
continues south, keeping east Of the @. q
n. w. tracks all the way to Chicago.
The other road which is promised to
this place at an early day is the Chicago
& Rock Island road. The surveyors of
this company have run several surveys
through the western part of the town, and
word comes from Chicago and other
places that the road will be built through
here at once. On Tuesday the Ergang
tract of ten acres on Grand Avenue was
sold for $40. 600, and it is claimed that
