Relief for the unfortunate women
who lost their goods in the fire of Tues
day night has been promptly and cheer
fully rendered. Clothing has been do
mated, $75 in money was raised at the
Hosiery factory and $25 more from
other sources, and the immediate ne
cessities of the family have been min
istered to- These are the acts Of
christian civilization that bring the
people closer together and we all feel
the better for having lifted little.
Many consumers of the city gas
were annoyed last evening by the low
pressure from the works, and in some
cases where the Welsbach burners are
used lights almost failed to burn at all.
Manager Douglas informs us that the
trouble was caused by water leaking
through a break into the main near
the works and as soon as discovered
pumps were put to work and the
trouble remedied at once. Mr.. Doug
las is endeaVoring to give consumers a
good article of gas and any complaints
made to him will be investigated and
the cause removed if possible.
-Kenosha is going to have q road
race on the Fourth of July. 1t is now
being talked up by the local wheelmen
and a definite announcement will be
made later. DR.. Pugh is at the head
of the movement and any suggestions
or information regarding the affair may
be talked over with him. The course
that has been suggested by some is to
take Prairie avenue and the plank road
west to the north and south road just
west of the Farmers home, distance
of five miles; then south one mile to
the Geneva road, then back to the city
on the Geneva road, thus completing a
run of about eleven miles. We are sure
that an event of this sort would be
greatly enjoyed both by the wheelmen
and their friends, and we hope to see
it go with a rush.
The proprietors of the Hawthorne
race track Of Chicago have been in Ke-
nosha lately trying to arrange for
grounds on which to conduct their
business, but they met with little en-
couragement here. They have been
driven out of Chicago and Indiana and
are now obliged to get out Of Illinois.
One thing is certain: KenOsha wants no
such gang as the Hankins and Davis
outfit would bring with them and we
are not likely to be troubled with them.
Their latest plan, and the one which
seems altogether likely to go through,
is to make a track and enclose grounds
just this side of the state line and start
a suburb devoted to shady sports such
as they have been in the practice of
conducting. No one could have any
objections to good trotting meetings
twice a year, and we should like to see
Kenosha included in a reputable cir
cult, but as for skin game trotting and
running races conducted by gamblers,
touts and short card men Kenosha has
no use and we are glad they were given
! the hint to move on.
