NJ. R. & K ROAD AGAIN
WILL BE BROUGHT UP AT A MEET
ING OF THE OLD COUNCIL.
THE LAST CHANCE THEY HAVE
They will Propose to Give the city a
Percentage of the Net Earnings They
ought to Make it Percentage of
the Gross Earnings.

The N. r. & e. Electric road is
taking options on number of pieces of
property along their proposed route on
Caledonia street. Just what this is for
cannot be learned, unless it is to get
signers for permission to run on that
street. Be that as it nay, the old
company when they sold out to Mil
waukee parties reserved the right to
obtain franchise to run through
Kenosha, and it is understood that
their ordinance, which is now before
the Council, will be brought up at the
approaching meeting of the CouDcil
and an effort will be made to pass it.
Mr. Slush is in town today and evil
IDENTIFY thinks he has at least six votes
for the ordinance, for it will take that
many to carry it. IF it should be found
at the last moment that the num Der is
not forthcoming the matter will be
dropped; but Mr.. Slush sees that thfs
is his last chance with the present
Council and he is putting forth every
effort and using all the influence IN his
power to pass the ordinance.
Numerous petitions from property
owners along the proposed route have
been presented to the CoDncil request
ing them not to allow the ordinance to-
be passed, and the action of the Coun-
ell is awaited With interest by large
majority of Kenosha's citizens.
A meeting of some of the Aldermen
and the Mayor was held this morning.
but the sense of the meeting could not
be obtained definitely, but it rs expect
ed that a percentage of the net earn
ings will be offered the city in an
amendment to the original ordinance.
Bf they had offered percentage of the.
gross earnings it would have been more
to- the point.

RHEUMATISM
AS WE GROW OLD.
Our Burdens Seem Greater, Even Though
They Be Not So.

They Be Not So.
Youth and vigor, with elastic step,
firm tread and erect carriage, pay little
attention to the burdens of the back.
A little backache is a little thing"
It's all right tor the old people to COM
plain, but youth wears it OF. Then as
years go by, as we grow old, the ache
seems greater. We tire easier and
wonder at it. Ever stop to think age
hasn't all to do with it? The first
backache was the first overw0rking of
the kidneys, and month after month,
year after year, the kidneys were kept
busy trying to do more than they really
could. A few doses of Doan's Kidney
Pills when the back ached would have
worked wonders on your future life,
make you feel younger, stronger,
healthier, kept the kidneys working
rightly, and saved you from urinary
disorders. 1t isn't too late now-they
will cure you, but it takes longer, takes
more pills. Read the following ex-
perience. Mr.. Ell. V. Henning, tailor
of sos Third ST., Milwaukee, says: 81
take pleasure in recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills. Any medicine that does
lust what is claimed for it should re-
ceive the endorsement of those it helps
SO that others may have chance to
participate in it's good qualities. Ny
kidneys were weak and sluggish, prob
ably caused by too close confinement at
my calling. At all events, their condi-
ton showed that T needed some medi-
cine and I procured Doan's Kidney
Pills at drug store. At the present
time, and it is some months since Z
stopped the treatment, my kidneys are
in perfect order. | give Doan's Kidney
Pills the credit for the change" Just
such emphatic endorsement can be had
right here in Kenosha. Drop into
StarBweather & Co.'s drug store and
ask what their customers report.

The cause Of action was TO recover part
of the purchase money OF farm which
the plaintiff had sold to the defendant

it being decided that the plaintiff had
no cause for action.

A MIDNIGHT RAID.
officer Gloss witnesses Some Very Clever
Tumb1ing.


A nice, quiet little game of craps was
in progress in one Of the prominent re-
sorts on Main street, Thursday even
ing, when the peace and quiet Of the
affair was broken in upon by a gentle
man in blue coat and brass buttons,
whose name is Gloss. When the ha-
bitues discovered the unwelcome guest,
quite a change came over the face of
affairs. Young men who were seem
ingly of sound mind few moments
before, suddenly became possessed, and
pandemonium began. Officer Gloss
appearance seemed to suggest some
very pressing engagement to each and
all of the occupants of the room. They
ali rose simultaneously to their feet,
gave one brief, but comprehensive
glance at the new conner, and then in
their zeal to make place for him, paid
no heed to such minor distractions as
tables and chairs, which were ruth
lessly thrown about in the melee which
ensued. There was a wild, mad rush
for every available outlet except the
door. The skylight and windows
proved of especial service. In fact, so
many fantastic forms made their grace
ful.exit in this manner that before be
realized it Mr.. Gloss found himself in
the predicament of one "who treads
alone banquet hall deserted" About
half dozen frenzied individuals in
their anxiety to make the open trusted
to the tickle gas pipe, made fast with
few small brads, with rather dis
astrous results. AS far as can be
learned, all the gentlemen are alive to-
day and free from the pursuit of
justice.
One gentleman, naturally of a shoe
black hue, was caught, but owing to
the fright his face was so sickled
over with a pale cast of thought" that
he could not be identified and there
! fore was released.
