KLINKERT MAY SUE.
Racine Brewer and Friend Ill-Treated
OH a M. r, & K. Car.

Ernst Klinkert, the we'll known
brewer of Racine, may commence
action against the owners of the Mil
waukee, Racine & Kenosha Electric
Railway company, with a view of es-
tablishing the rights of passenger
who has paid his fare on the road.
Thursday Mr.. Klinkert, accompanied
by j. Zimmers, a furniture dealer of
Milwaukee, visited this city and took in
the celebration. Mr.. Klinkert pur-
chased round trip tickets for himself
and Mr.. Zimmers, handing the con-
ductor ST. and receiving 40 cents and
two blue slips back. Mr.. Klinkert and
Mr.. Zimmers started back on the 8
o'clock car Thursday night and Mr..
Klinkert handed the conductor the
slips that he had paid for.
The conductor declared that they
were not good, refused so take them
and destroyed them. At the same
time he demanded the fares. Mr..
Klinkert refused to pay and informed
the conductor that the tickets were all
light and that If not the conductor
knew him, and if it was not right he
would fix it all right. An argument
ensued and the conductor told Mr..
Klinkert and Mr.. Zimmers they would
have to get off if the fare was not paid.
Mr.. Klinkert dared the conductor to
put him off. Mr. Zimmers paid the
fares. Friday morning Mr., KHnkert
called upon the officers of the road and
demanded the money he had paid and
it was refused. Mr.. Klinkers states
that he will not stand the treatment be
received, and that if the railway COM
pany do not make it right he will bring
suit.

" The President ought to place
sufficient force at the disposal of Gen.
Otis to stop the conflict without mercy
or quarter. If 100000 men are needed
in the Philippines, let the. government
furnish them at once, so that the re-
-ellion can be ended. In such matters
Z do not favo procrastination. The
sooner the trouble is wound up the
better"
Such is the advice of Senator Cullom
and therein he reflects the best judg-
ment of millions of people in the
United States. While events have
demonstrated the fact that the United
States troops in the Philippines are
sufficient to whip the Filipinos off their
feet, they have also proved that in a
country so wild, so unfamiliar to them
and so thoroughly familiar to their
enemy, a mere body of our fighting
men will never be able to subdue
1AgQinaldo and his forces. To accom-
ptissa chat result it is becoming more
and gzore evident that sufficient force
is necessary to provide men on the
lighting line and men to garrison al
the territory won by our arms

Decide to Close Their Stores at Eight
O'Clock On All BUs Saturday Nights.
A meeting of all the hardware deal
ers in the city was held last evening
for the purpose of coming to some
agreement in regard to early closing
and when the meeting closed the deal
ers had all signed an agreement to
close their places of business at eight
p. m, every evening of the week except
Saturday. Some of the hardware men
were willing to close at six o'clock, but
others thought that this was too early
and eight o'clock was finally decided
upon as the hour. The agreement is
not limited to any certain time but it is
the Intention that this shall be per
manent arrangement in the same man
ner as it is now observed by the grocers
of the city. The movement for early
closing is rapidly gaining ground and
before the close of the summer it is
thought that every store in the city
will have signed the contract.

s'I was troubled for ten years with my

lifting in the shop. The pain was right

times so bad that when sat down could

from the small of the back up and down
aud it wore me out so that half the time
did not feel like going to work in the
morning. Since began to use Johnson

NO MORE EXTENSIONS.
water Commissioners Have Reached the
Limit for This Year..


The board of Water Commissioners
held special meeting at the City Hall
Friday evening and one action taken
at the meeting will be of especial in
terest to the people in the city who are
DESTROYS of placing city water in their
house during the summer. The COIN
missioners decided that although a
large number of petitions has been re-
ceived asking for extensions NO further
extension of the mains Will be made
during the present season. The conn
missioners were forced to- take this
action on account of the fact that there
is not money enough in the treasury TO
permit of further extensions. A great
many mains have been laid during the
year and as result of these improve
ments the commissioners find the
treasury almost depleted. A little over
thousand dollars remains and all this
will be needed to pay the running ex
penses of the water works up to the
time when rents become due IN Novem-
Der. The water works is supported
entirely by the money received in the
rents for the service and no apprOpria-
ton is made by the Council for the
purpose of extending the mains This
action on the part of the board will be
the cause of disappointment to many
residents who had counted on mains
being extended during the summer
months and was only taken when the
board found it absolutely necessary.
No other business of Importance was
transacted.

AN ARTISTIC RECITAL.
SanttArium Guests have a,Pleasanh Trina
on the FOnrth.

on the Fourth.
One of the most pleasant events that
ever took place at the Pennoyep SAM
tarium was the artists recital which
was given Tuesday evening in the
large dining room. The entertain
ment was arranged by, Mrs.. Nelson A.
PennOyer, and this fact alone was
sufficient to insure it's success. The
program, which was varied one, was
carried out under the direction Of Mrs.
Talcott, OF Rockford, Ill.,. and Mrs.
Richmond. of Grand Rapids. The first
part was a vocal recital. Miss Caruth,
of Little Book, was one of the artists
who rendered selections. She hasa
beautiful, clear, soprano voice and a
wonderful range. Her singing SO
charmed the large Saud3enee that she,
was forced to respond to a number of
hearty encores. Another artist who
made o great hit with the cultured
audience was Miss Mallory, OF Chicago,.
who rendered a namber of soprano
solos. She has wonderful voice and
ranks with the best singers ia the
United States. Robert Mallory, of
Chicago, always'a favorite, was also on
the program and rendered a number of
beautiful selections. Mrs. Petti50ne,
of Chicago, accompanied the artists in
very pleasing manner.
The second part of the program was
jolly burlesque, in which the gentle
men guests were held up in ridicule by
the ladies in the house. Among the
leading participants in this part were
Mrs Richmond, of Chicago, and Mr..
Donnelly. The latter made great hit
in the rcj0 of black faced vaudeville
artist.
Following the program the guests
were treated to a charming luncheon.

WHILE the anxiety occasioned by
the trust is arousing spirited discussion
throughout the country, and while
certain politicians are growing eloquent
over the maelstrom of ruin into which
the industry of the country is being
drawn, facts and figures are indicating
remarkably prosperous and stable
business conditions. R. G.. Dun's
Weekly Review says:
The volume of business for the first
week of July has been SO per cent.
greater than last year and 1919 per cent
greater than in 1892. Failures for the
week have been 119 in the United
States, against 229 last year, and 20 in
Canada, against II last year.
The half-yearly return shows a
revenue so large that the excess of ex
penditures, only $88,875, $3.50 for the
fiscal year, is nearly $50, 100000 smaller
than Secretary Gage estimated, the
large gain in recent monthly receipts
and the decrease in expenditures re-
sulting from war promising surplus
this year, While the treasury gold re-
serve is but slightly below the largest
on record.
The volume of business shown by
clearings is 1879 per cent larger than in
| 1892 for the week; and for June 80 per
cent larger than last year and 50 per
cent larger than in 1892. Stock specu-
lation cannot be credited with the in
crease, for in June 80 per cent of the
increase was in the chief cities outside
New York"
The high prices prevalent are met by
correspondingly high wages, which
latter are being steadily raised. Re-
ports of increased wages in the large
manufacturing institutions of from 10
to 20 per cent are frequent. While
such conditions prevail there is no i'm
mediate fear of commercial collapse.
