Patents, was in opposition. The rest
of the day was given to the Dupont
case, Senators Burrows. of Michigan,
and Brown, of Utah, supporting Mr.
Duponts claim.

taken on indefinitely postponing the

NO FRANCHISE IN SIGHT.
City of Kenosha Wants Return for the
Privilege.

Kenosha, Wis, Feb. Especial.
1t now seems fully probable that at the
next meeting of the Kenosha common
council the matter of granting fran
chise to the Milwaukee, Racine & Ke-
nosha Electric Railway company will
be finally and completely dropped. Sew
eral of the aldermen have not been very
much in favor of granting to any com
pany any such franchise without the
city's getting out of it something ade-
quate and equivalent to the privileges
given away. The company represented
by w. II. Wheeler of Beloit, which de-
cided to make request of the council
for franchise, has at last concluded
to withdraw its request. SO if the other
franchise is dropped there will be moth
ing before the council along that line.
The Milwaukee. Racine & Kenosha peo-
pie threaten to take their line around
KenOsha in case franchise is not grant
ed through it, but there are very few
who seem to be much concerned over
such a proposition. A proposition will
come before the council next Monday
evening for the establishment of an cleo
trio lighting plant by w. II. Wheeler d
Co., which is to be controlled by the
city, but this will not relate in any way
to a street railway scheme.

that Hammer had inquired of boy

terribly decorating him. 1t is hot be-

here and Sheboygan Falls. Chief Scheck
notified the sheriff, and they left the

shortly before o'clock. He was carry
