WHEN WE REACHED THE PHILIPPINES
First, we crossed the ocean
To Gibraltar Straits,
Where a hostile fieetwould surely sinh
Ere it shot across the gates.
Next came the isle Of Malta,
Where the English hold full sway
Where the gallant British soldiers
Surely made our visit gay.
They showed us all their men of war
where honor was their queen;
But we expected something better
When we reached the Philippines.
Next came the grand Suez Canal,
A stream of greatrenown.
Next, q place called Aden--
A small Arabian town.
Then we reached Colombo,
The capital Of Ceylon;
Where the natives may have clotheI
galore,
But very few they don.
They showed us all their lakes
And many shady streams,
But We looked for something better
When we reached the Philippines.
Next we came to Singapore,
Where the Chinese had full sway
Which is regular Celestial town,
Where we didn't care to stay.
The officers and the seamen
We're pleased with Singapore,
But the privates seem to think IL
A humbug and q bore.
Some OF the men who went ashore
Wanted to fight like fiends,
But were told they would get enough
of 1t
When we reached the Philippines.

Committee on Arrangements Plan for q
Great Celebration of independence Day.
The committee on arrangements for
the celebration of the Fourth of July
met last evening at the Grant House
and completed the arrangements for
the day. TIE original plans for a
street celebration will be carried out as
far as possible and it is the intention of
the committee to make Main street the
center of all the attractions. The par
ade is expected to be one of the biggest
events of the day and already many Of
the secret and benevolent SOCIETIES have
slgnified their intention to turn out and
assist in the ceremonies of the day.
In the morning after the parade the
committee have arranged to have an
GRAFTON delivered in one of the parks of
the city. The orator who will address
the people has not as yet been definite
~ decided upon, but it is assured that
he will be a speaker of State and

will give one, and possibly two exhibit
tions during the day. One of these ex-
hibitions will be balloon ascent and

bition of fireworks will be given and

TWO ROAD RACES.

Small Boy Spends all His Time Awheel
in the Road Race.
From all reports the boys OF the city
are spending most of their time just at
present in road racing. Two races
were pulled off this morning and both
of them had as many riders as was
possible to line up along the streets.
The most important of these was the
one among the boys about Il years OF
age. 1t was run over four mile course
starting and finishing at the city limits
on Grand avenue. Some pretty prizes
were offered for the event and the con-
tests in many cases we're exciting. The
limit for the handicaps was five minutes.
There were twenty starters and the
time prize in the race was won by
Henry Williams, who covered the
course in sixteen minutes. Eddie
Baker won the second time prize. The
finish for the place prize was also very
exciting and resulted in victory for
Henry Martison, three and half
minute man. Ray Turner, five
minute man, was a close second. The
order of the finish was 81. Martison,
Ray Turner, Leo Denton, John Ward,
Robert Wattles, Joe Newhouse, E.
Martison, Harry Kipp, E. Cumisky,

While this crowd was riding over
course in the north part of the city
another crowd of younger boys had
race on the south side. The course
was about the same length and the
magnificent sum of 80 cents was hung
up as prizes for the speedy riders. In
this race there was large number OF
entries. Tommy Ryan, the scratch
man, won the time prize, while Fred
Morse finished at the front for the place
prize. The other two place prizes
were won by Willie O'Donnell and
Clarence Head.

rate per mile.

1t is a significant fact that the points
at which electric roads have met most
opposition, are those which have excep-
tionally low rates per mile : viz,
Kenilworth and Lake Forest.
If Kenosha is to continue in opposi
tion to the electric road in the interest
of the North Western road that cor
poration should show it's appreciation
by giving this city as good rates per
mile as are given Lake Forest.
1t will be noticed from the table that
with the exception of Kennilworth,
the rate per mile increases with the
distance from Chicago This is exact
ly contrary to the position taken by
the railroads in opposing the " Long
and short Haul" clause of the interstate
commerce bill. They contended that,
as the terminal charge was as great on
a short haul as on long one, and that
this constituted large share of the
expense, that the rates could legiti-
mately decrease per ton per mile as
the distances increased. The greater
rate per mile charged Kenosha over
Lake Forest cannot be accounted for
by the population of the two places,
nor even of the number of passengers,
excluding those travelling on monthly
tickets.
Will some recipient of favors from
the North Western road please explain
this discrimination?

WANTS LOWER RATES.
a. S. van Ingen Writes Pertinent Arti-
Gle on the Railway Question.

-
Soon after writing the article on
" Kenosha versus Railroads." | was
criticized most courteously by the
representative of one of the largest
local manufacturers, and charged with
unfairness to the Chicago & North
Western R. R. Exception was taken
to my mention of three cent per mile
fare being in force, while as a fact
twenty five ride tickets at less rate
could be bought.
While this is true, it is not every one
that can afford to buy one of these
tickets, nor is every one able to buy
separate rides without giving security
for the balance of the ticket. So that
for strangers and for many of the peo-
pie in Kenosha the rate is three cents
per mile to Chicago, while there is no
other rate to Racine and Waukegan
and practically none to Milwaukee.
But the defender of the North
Western road asked innocently if
KeRosha doesn't have just as advan
tageous rates per mile on twenty five
ride tickets as points south of Kenosha.
For his benefit, and the general infor-
nation of the public, | have looked the
matter up, and made out little table
giving distances from Chicago of sew
eral places, cost of twenty live ride
tickets, cost of each ride thereon, and
