ENTHUSIASM IN RACINE.
rhe wneelmen are Preparing to Build
That Bike Path.

The Racine News says: A meeting
of the Kenosha- Racine Bicycle Path
association was held in the council
chamber at the city hall last evening,
to hear a report from the committee
which recently conferred with a like
committee from KenoSha.
The report showed that while no
great progress was being made at the
Kenosha end, enough had been done
to assure the completion of the path as
far north as Berryville.
" A committee consisting of Presi-
dent Charles H. Washburn. Secretary
Fred Fryer and Treasurer Edward T.
Baker, were appointed to take charge
of the Racine end Of the enterprise and
proceed with the work. The presl-
dent was also authorized to add two
more to this committee. Today he
announced the name of Henry Rogers
and will name the other in a day or so.
The committee will have charge of
raising funds and overseeing its con-
struction. Engineer Quade, who is at
work on the new race track, Will ac-
company the committee over the route
in a few days and prepare plans and
estimates of cost of the work.
President Slush of the electric road
will give the association a chart show
ing the location of their tracks, so that
the path can be built in a manner
which will not come in conflict with
the street railways right of way. Mr..
Slush has also given the committee
assurances that he will aid them in
every way which lies in his company's
power.
+" About 5000 is now on hand to
begin the work. 1t is expected that
the remainder of the cost will be raised
without any trouble"

FOR A PUBLIC PLAY GROUND
one Suggested where Everybody Could
Have Sport

A. II. lance has just advanced an
idea wiz hould be adopted by Ke-
nosha citizens. 1t is nothing more nor
less than a public play ground, upon
which everybody can play games of
every sort and description. The plan
proposed by Mr.. Lance is, that a
stock company be organized for the
purpose of purchasing a piece of
ground. say ten acres in extent, and
devoting it to all the athletic purposes
to which the people may feel inclined,
under such necessary rules and regula
tions as would keep one party from
stepping on the toes, fguratively
speaking, of any other party.
There is a great deal more in such a
scheme than may at first appear Ke-
nosha citizens have no place now where
they can go to play ball, foot ball, hold
bicycle meets and races, or any other
of the hundred and one games which
are liable to arise in their proper sea-
sons. The main idea of such an asso-
citation would be to purchase the
ground, put it in proper shape and
allow its use to be free to the public.
The idea is to have it as we'll located
as possible with reference to the city,
so that, when in time the city resi-
dences surround it and it comes inside
the city limits, it may be donated to
the city with the promise in the deed
of transfer that the city shall always
maintain it for the original purpose.
The scheme has not been discussed
much, but it will be from now on with
the purpose in view of accomplishing
Just such an object.
Let us have an open athletic park.

A PHENOMENAL RIDER.
The Famous Trick Rider, william New
house, Exhibits Here.

William Newhouse, of Chicago, the
champion amateur trick bicyclist of
the world, entered Kenosha Monday on
his way to Milwaukee. By request he
gave short exhibition Monday even
ing on Market square. A large crowd
gathered to witness the performance.
They filled up the road from the United
States Express office to the corner of
Main with the exception of very
small space left to the rider. Mr.
Newhouse was working at a great
disadvantage because of the facts that
the pavement was uneven and slightly
down grade, he had not his uniform
and did not have his regular trick
wheel. He showed great cleverness,
however, in handling himself and his
machine. Whatever he took notion
to do he seemed to be able to execute,
from riding on one wheel to riding
standing on his head on the saddle.
Mr.. NeWhouse left Chicago on his
wheel Monday morning about $50
accompanied by his trainer, Alexander
Smart, of Chicago. They reached this
city about o'clock in the afternoon.
This morning they started for Racine,
whence they will go to Milwaukee
where Mr.. Newhouse expects to CON
suit his manager, j. w. Warnkin,
relative to his trip through the south.
He starts for Florida on the first of
June to meet engagements already
contracted for. From there he ex-
poets to go to England.
Mr. NeWhouse is certainly q phe
He is only 10 years old,
Among his most remarkable feats on
the wheel are riding on the hind wheel
with the front taken off, and what is
called the head stand" which no
other rider has ever accomplished.
Moreover, he is brother OF the we'll
known Boston Newhouse, who is at
present making a tour of the world
awheel, in the interests Of great met
ropOlitan paper. He has been trick
riding six years.
On his return from Milwaukee he
will again stop at this city and give an
on Market square at z
o'clock Thursday evening.

La Grande is to have beet sugar
factory with a capacity of 500 tons
of heets a day. A Portland COM
pany has been organized with cap
ital stock OF 100000 to put up the
plant, and La Grande gives a bonus
of 100000 and sixty acres of land.
The company contracts to take for
five years the beets from 5000 acres.
We congratulate La Grande on her
success, the legitimate result of ener-
getic work, and hence we do not say
good fortune. She deserved sue
cess, and we hope that her beet
sugar factory may be but the fore
runner of many other manufacturing
Industries.

I Hon. T. T. Geer has not yet de-
'tcided upon the matter of accepting
the appointment of register of the
land office at Oregon City. He feels
that he has not been fairly treated,
but says he will act upon the advice
of friends who now have the matter
under. consideration. 1t should not
take Mr. Geer long to decide. The
Office is worth $4,000 a year, and
there are plenty who will if he won't.
OF course Mr.. Geer recognizes the
fact that an acceptance of tie office
retlres him from politics for four
years; but at the same time there are
lots of people who would like to be
retired under the same circumstances.

Under the title ''Of Interest to
Women" the Telegram yesterday
printed quite lengthy description
of Mrs. John Sherman. 1t descri bes
her as being wonderfully beautiful, n
born arlstocrat, a gentle ''grande-
dame.'' And then it indulges in a
dissertation upon the aristocratic
lineage of the Sherman family, and
shows how this line of blue blood
crops out in Mrs. Sherman. The
writer did not take into considera-
tion the fact that Mrs. Sherman only
belongs to the Sherman family by
marriage. So, as far as the Sherman
blue blue showing in her aristocratic
bearing is concerned, she must have
caught, since she did not inherit it.
But more likely than all is the theory
that the silly twaddler who wrote the
trash never saw Mrs. Sherman.

indigestion is often taken for con-
sumption. The word consumptoin
means wasting away, and dyspeptics
often waste away as badly as consump-
tives.
The reason people waste away Is be-
cause either they don't get enough. to
eat, or they don't digest what they do
eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will
help you to digest your food and stop
