over the action of Street Supervisor
Boyle in giving the papers he has to
serve in his raid under the snow ordin-
ance to county officer instead Of to
them. Under Sheriff Harkins has SO
far served all the papers.
Those who are criticiZing the
street supervisor for his arrests do not
seem to know that he is following the
only ordinance we have in relation to
the cleaning of snow from the side
walks. There is no provision in it for
the cleaning Off of the snow himself and
charging it up to the property owners.
The latest in snow shoveling may
be seen on the west side. Six inches
below the snow and ice is a fine five
foot walk, through this is cut twelve
inch canal with an occasional off set or
switch. 1t is slick piece OF shovellhg
engineering. All it lacks is hand
rail to make it complete in all it's de-
tails.
"A prominent member of the Keno
sha Athletic society suggests that ii
minstrel show is got up for this whites
for the benefit of the proposed public
library that the $65 still in the treasury
of that society which is the unexpended
portion Of the proceeds of the last show
be used in getting it up. That is an
other good suggestion.
Mrs n C. Stafford will be at Miss
Fisk's on South street to give voice
culture lessons on Mondays. At the
Baptist church, Waukegan, on Tues
DAYS from 1870 to 6. Wednesday and
Saturday from 1890 to 4 p. M, Room

free of charge at any hour. loft
There are two splendid suggestions
thrown out apropOs the establishment
Of public library. The first is thar
the minstrel show of last winter be re-
peated and that our local orchestra
which furnished the music for the SHOW
Thanksgiving evening be made a part
of it. The other is that banquet be
given at which a fee of ST. per plate b,
charged and that a few former Keno
shaites who have made good names foI
themselves elsewhere be invited to par
take and respond to some of the tOasts
Both ideas are excellent.
j. L. Stevens made correction
this morning in the statement which
appeared in this paper recently con
corning the first celebration of the
Fourth of July in this place. He says
we got the dates mixed somewhat.
The first celebration was in the year
1886 instead of 1910. His Statement
concerning who was here at that time
and now living took into consideration
the men only. There we're Il numbr
of women and children b. re at the time,
many Of whom are still living here,
Mrs. French and Mrs. Holt being of thu
party of ladies.
There is to be scrimmage in the
common council this evening if all sign
fail not. The report of the commits
sloners appointed to make the award of
benefits and damages in relation to the
opening of a street through the prop
erty between Deming and Eagle streets
is to be resurrected. 1t seems that all
has not been straight in the remon
strances sent in and upon which the
council decided not to open the street
If the report of the commissioners can
not be recOnsidered there will be a mo
ton made to appoint another commits
sion for the same purpose, and the
street may yet be built.
Among the new orders which weIl
into effect Dec. l, on the Northwestern
railroad is one which provides that all
baggage received under check not re-
moved within twenty-fOur hours will
he charged not less than twenty-five
cents for the second twenty -four hours
or fraction thereof, and not less than
ten cents for each succeeding TWENTY
four hours or fraction thereof. Another
order provides that bicycles, tricA cIes
and baby carriages are to be transport
ed at regular excess baggage rates,
charged for the same as fifty pounds OF
nXcess baggage. Themnimun charge
in each ca to be twenty five cents.
