THE WORK HAS BEGUN.
The Bike Path Will Be Completed Within
Two Weeks.

The work on the bicycle path be-
tween Racine and Kenosha was taken
up this morning at the Berryville end
Of the Kenosha part of the path, and
will now be pushed to completion.
The contract for the work was let to
William Davy, and he will superin-
tend the job. Teamster Burch has his
team at work on the grading today.
The reason why the work has been so
long delayed comes from the fact that
some OF the farmers on the road who
had fences out in the legal highway
made objection that if the path and
the electric road were put through
there would be but fifteen feet left for
the regular road way. These objec-
tions had to be overcome and now that
they have been, the work has been
begun. Mr.. Davy expects TO have the
work all completed within two weeks.
The whole path is to be curbed and
the filling will be of gravel for the first
layer and cinders on top. 1t will make
an elegant path when finished.

WILL SECURE BOY QUARTET.
Four Well Known Boys May Soon Sing at
the Sanitarium.

Efforts are being made to secure the
Roney quartet of boy singers for con-
cert to be given at the Sanitarium. In
all probability the quartet will appear
there to sing some time during next
week. The performance will be given
in the dining room. The Roney boys
give a marvellous performance having
won great applause from enthusiastic
audiences in the largest cities of both
east and west. The singers are all
boys between the ages of Il and IA.
The names of the boys are Master
Scott Nortrupp, first soprano, aged Il
years; Master Arthus Alexander, Sec
ond soprano, aged IA years; Master
Horace Seims, first alto, aged II years,
and Master Cleo Smith, second alto,
aged II years. They are accompanied
by Master Norman Trumpour, enter
tainer, aged 9 years. Prof. Roney,
the we'll known organist, of Chicago,
is the boys manager and will appear
here with them.
1t is certainly to be hoped that 10th
ing will prevent Kenosha people from
hearing this remarkable quartet of
boy singers. 1t is the only quartet of
it's nature in existence, and all who
.Know Prof. Roney will have no doubt
'as to the excellence of the entertain
ment,

NOTHING IN 1T.
Rumor That the Sterling and Pope
Companies Would Consolidate.

A rumor has gained currency some.
how that a consolidation was contem-
plated between the Pope Manufacture
ing company. of Hartford, Conn, man
ufacturer of the Columbia wheel, and
the Sterling Cycle company was to be
brought about in the near future. The
rumor has been afloat for some two or
three months and was repeated on the
streets of this city today with per-
sistency' which some might take for ap-
solute truth, did one not understand
the inOrdinate love Ken0shans have for
false reports.
In order to settle the matter one way
or the other reporter, for this paper
saw Osborne Sampson, of the Sterling
company, and asked him if there was
any truth whatever in the report. He
acknowledged that the reporthad been
afoat for some time and that he had
heard of it several times, but said that
there was nothing in it whatever.
There was a common interest, he said,
between the two companies in certain
patents which both companies are u.s.
ing, but there was no further connec-
ton between them, nor was there like
ly to be. He intimated that the recent
action of the Pope company in cutting
the price of wheels at the close of the
season, was such as to prove an effect
ual preventive to the two companies
ever getting together.
He characterized the action of the
Pope company as ridiculous one just
at the time it came, since it would
make an enemy of every one of the
purchasers who have paid 500 this
season for its wheels, and that the kicks
to dealers from customers would be
sure to make enemies Of great por-
ton of item.

A JULY SONG.

Life was never sweeter,
Earth was ne'er so gay,
Hours few never fleeter
Than they do today.
Heigh for the sweet wild roses,
Ho for the tasseled corn,
Heigh for the breeze meath the shady trees,
Ho for the rosy morn.
Sun and song and flowers,
Not cloud in sight,
Merrily the hours
Turn the day to night
Heigh for the childrens prattle,
Ho for the mowers rune,
Heigh for the time of the Yesper chime,
Ho for the silver moon. H. M. A.

not say how he does it.
He was asked what the sum total of
