That Special Election.

Three years ago next Saturday Ke-
nosha held a special election to deter
mine what amount should be paid for
saloon licenses during the succeeding
three years from that date. There was
total vote cast of 1,136 votes and
high license or $500 was the amount
decided on by a majority of 40l votes.
The time has again arrived to vote on
the same question and an election has
been called for Sept. q. The cost OF
this action to the city will be from S2OO
to $500. 1t is called at the behest OF
about twelve men and between 1000
and 5000 men must bear the expense
of it. The council could do nothing
but what it did do, since the law gives
these twelve men the power to demand
an election.

WE ARE AWARE OF 1T.
Contributor Makes Kick on the APP
pearance of His Poem

Mr.. NEWS-The manner in which
you printed my golf poem ~ reminds
me of the story of the Irishman who
asked Pat if he heard the new tune.
Pat says what tune?n and the Irish
man says "Spittoon! Pat thought
that was a good joke mot meaning to
throw any boquets at the poem) and
he tho't he would spring it On his wife,
so he asked her if she heard the new
tune. She said "what tune?" He
said "spit box!" In other words, he
spoiled the sense just as you have done
by not printing my Literary Gem"
(don't faint) just as wrote it. If you
have it on file, outside of the basket,
please reproduce it at some future
date, and write it just as written, same
as you would for 81. M. A." or Harry
Mckay Harrison, if he were still on
earth, and writing for you!
"GUESS AGAIN"
The trouble with the matter was
that, Notwithstanding the copy was
very plain and absolutely unmistakable,
we have compositors who cannot allow
words spelled wrong even for a jokes
sake.

Clark did not appear.
Judging from the reports on the
preparation being made by the Racine
football team, and the material repre-
sented there, Kenosha elevens would
do we'll to seek conquests in some other
direction.
The Kenosha Golf club is making
extensive Improvements in its golf
links, remodeling the grounds and
naming the holes Expense will not be
considered until the grounds have
reached such degree of perfection as
will place them on a level with the
best in this neighborhood.
A great deal of merriment was, occa-
stoned among the bathers Thursday
evening by the contortions of a number
of young ladies who plunged into the
spray robed in long wrappers, which
they had donned as a protection
against the chilling winds. The girls
found their garments when wet an
impeachment, and as a result spent most
of their time on the sands of the beach.
For the first time since the band
concerts began, the rain broke in upon
the performance compelling a large
portion of the auditors to withdraw to
their homes, and putting damper on
the latter part of the program. When
the shower was over, however: many
returned to the park to listen to the
closing numbers. The music through
out was good, showing signs of con-
tinued and careful practice. A large
number were in attendance.

CAR FAMINE WILL COME.
Freight Cars are Getting Scarce and Road
Managers Must Hustle.

A threatened freight car famine is
confronting the railroads at present,
just as the wave of increase in general
traffic is making itself manifest. While
the scarcity of cars has not assumed an
embarrassing phase as yet, it will be
severely felt in the course of two
weeks.
The general traffic managers are
bending every energy to get the need
ed number of cars. There is little
incentive to hold back the wheat and
other grain, as the prices are good now
and the grain is of a good selling quail
ity. The grain is beginning to move
and General Traffic Manager Burton
johnson, of the Wisconsin Central
estimates the daily number of carloads
of grain being shipped over the system
of Minneapolis and Duluth at from
700 to 500 each day Many of the old
cars are being overhauled to help out
the deficiency. In two weeks the ship
ping of grain on all the roads will be at
its height. Merchandise of all descrip-
tons is also on the move and adds to
the demand for more cars.
On the ST. Paul railroad the out
business from Milwaukee is reported as
the best since 1898. Car wheels are
rolling on the out bound in greaF num-
bers and the number grows daily,
While grain, especially wheat, is the
bulk of the freight, the other freight is
on the boom. Merchandise of all
kinds, manufactured articles, coal,
building materials and all kinds of
traffic are booming. The loading is
good and the freight departments are
unusually busy all over the system.
The same is true of all the roads.
The great increase of traffic is at
tributed to a number of conditions.
The general prosperity which is max
ing it's appearance has something to do
with the state of affairs, but the in
crease of prices in wheat contributed to
it more than any other cause. The
buyers are getting their grain on the
move now and more is being shipped
every day. Money is becoming loos-
ened up and merchandise is being
bought all OYER the state.

THE ELECTRIC LINE.
It will Not Pass Through the Grounds of
Racine College.

Racine College.
The line of the Milwaukee, Racine d
Kenosha Electric Railway company,
between this city and Racine, will
not pass throuah the Racine college
grounds. The trustees and other Off
Gals of the college and the manage
ment of the road could not agree on
terms. Surveyors of the electric COM
pany are now setting stakes for the
line to run east on Seventeenth street
to the lake shore road and then follow
the main road down to the Durand
farm where it passes through the Du
rand property and across the viaduct
where the company will build a bridge
of it's own. Chairman Henry Herzog,
of Mt. Pleasant, was in the city yester-
day in consultation with the manage
ment of the road in regard to the line
turning the corner at Durand's farm
He wants them to go around by the
outside as if they pass on the inside it
will leave no room for traffic.
