Seems to Have Been Bluff.

There is a growing feeling among
our citizens that the talk of refusing
the franchise granted to the Milwau-
kee, Racine & Kenosha Street Railway
company by that company is mainly a
bluff, sprung as it was at time when
the president of the company and the
attorney hoped to cut off any further
amendments to the ordinance. The
fact of the matter is that Kenosha is
the only link which has been missing.
To refuse to take the franchise now
would necessitate the company's going
over it's present contemplated route
and securing new franchises in such a
form as to avoid this city, and that is
something the company could neither
afford nor would be willing to do.
Then again, what seems more to the
point is that in interviews with the Ra-
cine reporters both Messrs. Slush and
Kearney are reported to say that the
franchise would probably be accepted.

A Sk1llful Oculist.

DR.. B. A. Garfield who is a REGULAR
monthly visitor at Hotel Grant is we'll
and favorably known throughout the
Northwest. He graduated in medicine
at the age Of % and began this profess
sion in Chicago, where he soon became
prominent as specialist in diseases of
the eye and ear.
Early in his practice he became con-
nected with the Chicago Eye and Ear
College as a clinical lecturer on the dis
eases of the eve, and for two years de-
voted his time to the treatment of the
afflicted poor who applied to that insti-
tuition for relief.
His work in this department of the
college was so appreciated by the trus-
tees that they elected him Fellow of the
College and Secretary of the Faculty.
Later he became the President eft the
Board of Trustees, and in 1888 was IN
animously chosen Dean of the Faculty
and Professor Of Internal diseases of the
Eye and Clinical Ophthalmology (Vice
Henry DIN, M. d., retiring.)
AS a lecturer he is clear and elabOr-
ate, leaving no ground untouched, and
his subjects although of a serious ma
ture, are always illustrated with APP
propriate incidents and anecdotes.
His appearance in the lecture room
invariably draws forth an expression OF
good will.
DR.. Garfield limits his practice to
diseases and deformities of the eye and
ear, and has justly attained the emil
nent position he now holds.
He has made many improvements III
the instruments and appliances used in
his branch of the profession, and shows
great skill in fitting artificial human
eyes.
| DR.. Garfield is q graduate OF Rush
Medical and Bennett Medical colleges
and the Chicago Eye and Ear college
His office is 126 State St.. Chicago
He will be in Kenosha again, Saturday
March 21st. We know him personally
and recommend him to all who neac
his services. DIV

bridge, if it used it, the city to pay the
other % per cent, grooved girder rails
instead of L" rails we're ordered,
local companies were given the privi-
lege of running ears over the through
lines, the paving was ordered to be
done between all tracks and for two
feet on either side Of the tracks, and
the paving on Main street between the
tracks and for two feet either side was
to be paid for to the property owners
who had put it down. Then AID.
McGivern wanted the consent OF two
thirds of the property owners given
along the proposed route of the road,
before the rails were allowed laid, and
demanded mile more local track.
The first motion was carried, but be-
fore the latter part could be. Attorney
Thomas Kearney. of Racine. was on his
feet, and in mild but somewhat dra-
matte way, stated that the company
could not accept the ordinance with all
these extra provisions. He kicked on
the style of rails ordered, and on the
paving on the outside of the tracks.
Mr.. Slush kicked on the cutting down
of the term of which the franchise was
to run and said that many of the other
provisions made compelled him to state
that the ordinance, in that form, would
not be acceptable.
Mayor Farr then ordered the clerk
to read over each of the newly proposed
amendments, and taking them up
seriatim, asked Messrs. Slush and
Kearney if they objected to each indi-
vidual item. The council refused to
reconsider the rail matter, and finally
voted no on reconsidering any of the
other new amendments.
Mayor Farr then stated that the ac-
ton he thought best in the premises
was to pass the ordinance, and the
company could accept or rejecE it at
its own option.
Aid. Schend moved that the
ordinance be placed upon its passage.
This was carried by six ayes and two
noes, and there the matter stands.
This meeting being the time for the
election Of city engineer, j. B. David
son was reelected by a vote of 5 to 2.

 Fusion In Georgia
 ATLANTA, Oct. 21 Not since tho state election, after which the eontending forces rested on their oars, has there been such activity about Democratic and Popuist headquarters as was dis played from an early hour yester- day This marked the expiration of the five days period which the Populist state central committee gave the Demo- crats to decide upon their proposition for fusion on the Bryan and Watson ticket, made up of seven Democratic and six Populist electors. It was to de. eide on this proposition that the Demo- cratic state executive committee and Democratic electors were summoned to meet as party headquarters at noon to- day
 At the same hour, block away, the Pepulist state central committee as. sembled. Early in the morning a strong division developed in the ranks of the Democrats over the fusion propo- sition. The Georgia member of tho national Democratic committed. who was present as Chairman Jones representa- eve to urge fusion. led the fight iu it's favor, while the opposition was headed by Governor Atkinson and State Chair man Clay.
 Both committees went into secret ses- sion at ls o'clock For the first tive hours nothing was done which the com. mittees were willing to give out for 1 publication.

The story is backed up by the presence ill New York of Henry Cachard, q lawyer connected with the Paris branch of the Coudert Bros firm.
