The question of the hour is whether

that Bailey is the money saving grocer.
See the point? DIV
Len Powers gave the sheriff's men
hard time Of it last evening. His at
tack of delirium tremens has been I'M
Usually prolonged.
20. M. Ash, a former Kenosha boy,
now representing the Sunbeam Incan-
descent Lamp company, of Chicago, is
in Kenosha calling on old friends.
Many of our local nimrods are
anxiously awaiting the open season for
pike, bass and pickerel, which will be
June l; and some of the more enthusi-
astic ones will do mighty we'll to wait
the limit, for the fish warden will get
you, boys, it you don't watch out.
Chairman Gull, of the town of
Brighton, was in town today arranging
matters to proceed with building
road between the towns of Burlington
and Brighton. This is the road mat
ter which came before the county
board last winter for settlement, and it
seems now that it is in fair way to
settle itself.
DIR. Andre called on one of our.
prominent dry goods stores this morn
ing to ask for few paste board boxes.
Quite pile of boxes stood close by
and the merchant told the doctor he
would divide the pile with him. TAX
ing his share the doctor discovered
they were little heavier than seemed
necessary, so he examined them. He
found a new silk parasol in one, which
he promptly returned.
The prospects of having Fourth
of July celebration in Kenosha seem to
brighten every day. The spirit of pat
riotism seems to have spread as if by
infection, and a number more merch-
ants have signified willingness to
contribute and get up floats. All are
being convinced that there would not
be much of an outlay necessary. 1t is
easily within the reach of our city.
We need such a celebration to keep
our pulses moving and in close touch
with the spirit of our institutions and
our country. Let us celebrate.
Since the name of Kenosha has
gone out as city looking for desira-
BILE prizes in the manufacturing world,
there are applications received here
every day or two for sites and bonuses
for all sorts of plants. If honest enter
prises want first class town to settle
down in, they can find it very readily
in Xenosha, but when it comes to
bonuses, this city is not in that line.
Enterprises which make more out of
bonuses than they do out of the goods
manufactured are not very desirable
property, and they get mighty little
encouragement here.
The number of arrests which have
been made the past week of wheelmen
who run up onto the sidewalks where
the streets are impossible has provoked
wide discussion among wheelmen of
the rights they should be allowed. 1t
brings out the fact that there are num-
berless other towns, with greater
proportion Of wheelmen to the popula-
ton than Kenosha has, who allow the
Whcelmen on the walks under proper
restrictions. Elkhart, Ind, has HOO
wheelmen. The city issues licenses to
them at the rate of So apiece for use of
wheels on sidewalks. The authorities
of that city claim that the license has
the effect Of lettering any one inclined
to go too fast or from injuring any one
for the reason that for the slightest
reasons the licenses are revoked and
no new one issued to the revokee un-
less under the best of security for the
faithful living up to the laws there
after. They report that no accidents
have resulted and the number of Ii
censes revoked is very insignificant.
At Utica, N. Y, and in dozen or more
cities in that state, similar licenses are
issued, and in each case with the de-
sired results. There is very little &C.
casion for the alarmists to talk about
people getting badly manned or killed
if such privileges were given here. Our
wheelmen are just as sensible as they
