citizen. At II o'clock tonight his

dence in this ity. His retirement as
we'll as his departure is the cause of
great regret. By his withdrawal Keno

keenly felt. He is republican of the
staunchest character. Ever since his

TALK OF NEW ROAD.
Capitalists Discussing the Question of
Building an Electric Road.

Building an Electric Road.
The talk of establishing an electric
railway line through Racine county is
being revived. 1t is proposed to build
the line from Racine through to West
ern Union junction and Burlington;
thence to Waterford, Raymond, Roch-
ester and other towns and to touch at
the leading lakes. Several Racine
capitalists have talked the matter over
and farmers throughout the county are
somewhat interested. 1t is believed
that Chicago and eastern capitalists
will become interested and that before
many months the scheme will reach
tangible shape. Experts claim that a
line of this character would pay big
money, judging from the success of the
new road between Racine, Milwaukee
and Kenosha. That the line between
the cities above named are making
plenty of money there is no doubt.
Employees of the Chicago & Northwes-
tern Railway company admit that it
has practically killed all suburban
traffic, which means a great deal,
especially to the financial profits of the
enterprise. Racine Journal.
