GOOD ON ANY ROAD.
President Signs the Bill for Universal
5,OOO-Mile Book.

Travelling men all over the country were
jubilant over the action of the President
in signing the bill amending that part of
the interstate commerce act which refers
to mileage tickets. For several years the
Travellers Protective Association, the
largest organization of travelling men in
the world, has been agitating the mileage
ticket question, and it has just carried its
point. Under the old system all a man
could get was 1,OO0-mile ticket, good
over just the road that issued it. Under
the new law he will be able to buy 5000
mile ticket, good over any road or mum.
Der of roads he wants to use it on.

The Morris Coal Company's coal hop
per, engine room and machinery, and
several Hooking Valley coal cars were
destroyed by fire ut Jobs, Ohio, Wednes-
day. The fire originated in the weigh
Office, and is supposed to have been ignit-
ed by an electric wire not properly insulat-
ed. The fire extinguishing facilities were
inadequate. The capacity of the hopper
was 243 cars per day. Eight hundred
men will be deprived of employment, with
no prospect of securing work elsewhere,
which, with the existing suffering of min
ers in the valley on account of depressed
business and conflicts of one kind or an
other among coal workers. makes the stu
alton assume more appalling phase.

Eatinu Their Horace.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, dispatch: Rev. S.
g. Snyder, of the Navajo agency at Fort
Defiance, says the Indians are having a
hard time to exist this winter. Their
wool crop was hardly worth shipping, and
they raised no grain last year. They are
eating their horses, of which they have
great herds. Two representatives of the
Interior Department are now at the
agency investigating the condition of the
Navajos. No work is now being done on
the irrigating system which is being put
in by the Government, but II is expected
active work will begin on the bitches in
the spring.

Sieg. Walpole @ Co. Purchase the Lane
Plant and the Wheels VIII Soon
Be Running.

| The Lane Manufacturing plant has
at last been disposed of, the deal hav-
ing been closed and clinched Monday
afternoon in Chicago, when the proper
ty was made over to the Sieg, Walpole
Manufacturing company. of Chicago,
for consideration of $4,000 cash.
This company has been negotiating for
the plant for some time, but the cendi-
tions have been such that they could
not get possession until Monday. 1t is
the intention of the new owners to be-
gin operations ar once and they will
soon have the machinery in operation
turning out Windsor bicycles and bicy-
Gle supplies.
The firm of Sieg, Walpole & Co. is
one of the best known in Chicago as
dealers in bicycles and supplies and
they have probably sold more wheels of
their own make together with those
made by other firms, than any house in
Chicago. The firm is composed of
Messrs. Osborne, we'll known Chicago
capitalist; Sieg, a practical manufac-
turer, and Walpole, former secretary
of the Ames & Frost company, and
the capital stock is 100000. Finan-
cially they are well rated and they are
hustlers in their line. Their business
is bound to grow and before twelve
months have passed Mr.. Sieg says they
will be giving employment to two hun
dred hands. Mr.. Walpole will
come to Kenosha at once and
take charge of affairs and see to
laying out the shop scheme, and
Mr. Sieg will come later. We welcome
the new company to our city and we
congratulate them that they are in on
the ground floor and are here to assist
in celebrating the new birth of Keno
sha. Let each of our citizens help to
make their sojourn with us pleasant
and profitable.

A BURGLARY.
starkweather g Co.'S Store Entered sun.
day Night.

QAy N4SuV.
The drug store of Starkweather &
Co. was entered Sunday night at be-
tween II and j o'clock and from So to
S. taken from the till. At least that is
all that has so far been missed.
Along about y o'clock Officer Lane
came along the alley back of the stores
along that neighborhood and tried the
doors and turned lights on the win
doWs, but saw nothing out of the way
Everything seemed to be all right and
undisturbed. He came back again at
about o'clock and saw one of the low
er panes OF the south rear window bro
ken entirely out. Mr.. Lane searched
the building as we'll as he could, but
found no trace of anybody. Then he
hurried up to Mr.. HOLSTERS house and
aroused him. When the store was
opened it was found that the burglary
was undoubtedly the work of boys.
There was an oil can of quite large size
standing on the window sill inside and
squarely in front of the place entered.
This apparently had not been disturbed,
so it is evident that it must have been
small sized person who went in.
Nothing about the store seemed to have
been disturbed except the money.

HIGHWAYMEN AGAIN.
Another Young Man Stopped on the Ra-

If all reports are true the road be-
tween this city and Racine is infested
by two highwaymen. Last week A. F.
Olsen and lady were stopped by
them, as has already been reported in
these columns, and an effort was made
to relieve Mr.. Olsen of his watch, but
failed. Saturday evening young man
named William Johnson was going up
from here to Racine when two men
stopped his horse and demanded his
valuables and he handed over all he
had, $3.50. The thieves went through
his pockets to satisfy themselves that
he had no more valuables and then or
dered him to proceed and he lost no
time in doing so. He states that the
highwaymen looked like farmers.

class ones &C $50.

Something of a startling nature il
about to drop in wheelland. The in.
crease in salesro0ms, academies, and
cranks, which is apparent to the most
casual observer, has naturally caused
more or less talk concerning the profits
to manufacturers and agents. Lots OF
people who have been planking down
coin Of the realm to the tune of 500
for an article which can profitably be
sold for great deal less than half that
sum, will no doubt be panied to learn
that this time next year, according to
a gentleman who should know, ma
chimes 9f standard make will be re-
tailed in this market for $50. The
business man engineering this CONNER
cial revolution is at present in town.
he is authority for the statement that
in April, 1897, well-known company
will have on hand ready for the trade
and the cranks, 4O0, 900 bicycles, which
win be sold at $50 apiece. He would
not go into details further than to as
sure me that this statement would be
verified as soon as the combine now
being formed to break prices is COM
pleted. The company will of course
reap fair profit from every wheel,
even at the low price stated. What
the big monopolies now virtually in
control will do in the meantime, re-
mains to be seen. At any rate, it
seems pretty safe to conclude that
bikes" will eventually become as
cheap as baby carriages and pam
pered bow vows.
It may well be taken as an accepted
fact that bicycling is the fad of the fin
de steele period. 1t is whispered
around Newspaper Row that three Sc
date and venerable editors who for
many, many years have worn out
numberless cane seats in their nightly
grind as assistants to the veteran Dana
OF the Sun, are now stanch devotees Of
the wheel. An irreverant Office boy
whispered, " Der boss took his wheel
on der st. Louis, and even der deacon,
what's been here since the first paper,
why, he's hiking on de quiet" Fully
one-third of the active newspaper
workers in New York now ride to and
from their homes on the wheel, and a
bloomer girl is necessary adjunct to
any well regulated newspaper. Office in

Do Our People Wish to See Them This
Season?

Manager Joseph Rhode, Of the opera
house, informed a reporter that Keno
sha may have several of the Frohman
companies during the summer and fall
season if sufficient support be rendered
them. Our amusement loving people
all know that these companies are the
best travelling and their visits are nee
essarily attended by considerable ex-
pense; and heretofore the patronage
has not been sufficient to warrant a re-
turn visit, and Mr.. Rhode proposes to
make little canvass and so determine
just how many of our people are willing
to patronize attractions Of this kind.
We sincerely hope that he may meet
with sufficient encouragement to justify
him in booking three or four of the
Frohman attractions.

Obituary.

Harriet c. Castle was born in H0~.
bart, Delaware county, New York,
March Is, 1924 and died June 16, 1895,
| III Bristol Wis.,. r.. u,,.. r....
She emigrated witheher parents from
Davenport, New York, to Paris, Keno
sha county, Wis, then Racine county,
in October, 1847. She never married
but lived with her brother .Erastus'
family, up to the time of her death.
She was dutiful daughter and cared
for her aged mother up to the time Of
her death over four years ago, at the
advanced age of ninety eight. Her
! mothers days we're undoubtedly great
! ~ prolonged by the gentle care and
skillful nursing which she gave her.
Harriet G.. Castle was for many years
member Of the Methodist church and
later in life joined the Presbyterian
church. She had her faults as do all
others, but her good qualities we're SO
many that the former could be easily
overlooked, and many were the acts Of
kindness that she showed to the family
in which she lived, and many others as
we'll.
Her friends and acquaintance were
many and she will = sadly missed by
all of them. She had been in poor
health much of the time for over twenty
years, and her last illness was not
looked upon as particularly dangerous
until the day before her death. She
realized her condition and while not
unwilling to go would liked to have
lived longer. She was conscious up to
within thirty minutes of her death.
The funeral sermon was preached at
the Plank Road church by Rev. Cam
eron and her remains were inferred in
the cemetery near by. W. 81. C.

The Chicago Bedding Company Does Not
~4 Get the Lane Plant.
The deal between the Lane plant
people and the Chicago Bedding COM
pany people has fallen through and the
deal is off, though efforts will undoubt-
edly be made to patch up some kind OF
a deal by which the company can lease
the plant temporarily and take an OPP
ton on it. 1t seems that in the deal
which has just fallen through no writ
ten option existed between the. parties
and therefore the freedom of either
party to declare the deal off was un-
hampered.
E. d. Tuttle declared that if the
Bedding company did not come down
by the close of business hours Satur-
day night the deal would be declared
off. 1t is believed from facts in pos
session of this paper that the Seig &
Walpule Manufacturing company were
pressing the Lane people pretty hard
and that there was an opportunity to
make a deal at once in case OF the
Bedding company's failure to put up
the money. There are parties in Chi
cago today to make this deal if possible
at once, and by the time this paper
goes to press it is believed that the
necessary papers will be signed and
