MAY SOLVE QUESTION
M. r. & K. HAVE A NEW BLUFF FOR
THE COUNCIL.
WOULD RUN MOTOR CARRIAGES
vice-President Bishop says the Company
are Considering the Adoption of Such
Means of TraAsportation-To Take
Car Fight From the Council,

From all reports the managers Of the
Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha rail-
way company are planning a coup de-
tat which will eventually put all their
competitors out of the race for franchise
honors in Kenosha. The new scheme
of the Racine company as announced by
Mr.. Bishop, vice president of the road,
to NEWS reporter last night is tO'put
in line of automobiles to run between
the southern terminus of the road and
the north limits of the city proper Mr..
Bishop said last night that he had
almost come to the conclusion that the
city council would throw out the entire
lot of railway franchise ordinances now
pending before them and under such
circumstances they would certainly
seek to arrange some plan to secure
the proper delivery of their passengers
into Kenosha. He said that motor
carriages had already largely taken the
place of electric cars in several large
cities and that their use had given
perfect satisfaction. The cost of
running them is no greater than the
cost of running the cars and the original
expense is not nearly so large. He
states that the company have been
approached by several firms handling
moto1 carriages and very advantageous
offers had been made.
It was also stated that the company
had in mind to continue the service all
over the city and in this way promise
to the citizens local street railway
privileges. The main objection to the
adoption of such a plan is that Milwau-
kee ave is not a paved street and for this
reason it would be rather difficult
to operate motor carriages over
it. Mr.. Bishop said all things consid-
cred he would rather have the Council
pass a resolution ordering that street
to be paved than an ordinance granting
his company a franchise to put in q
road.
Should the Racine company Gerry out
their plans it would have decided
effect oD the railway franchise war in
Kenosha as it would not require any
franchise from the city to operate a
line of automobiles and such line
would destroy all of successful compe
ton. The whole matter is not taken
very seriously among the Kenosha
aldermen as they regard it only as
another scheme of the M. r. & K. to
force them to take some action on the
ordinance now before the Council.

voted only his sentiments and that no
alderman had right to tell him how he
should vote on the subject.
Aid. Weier got hot and a wordy war
ensued between he and Gonnermann
and the latter was informed in no IN
certain words by Weier that it was
none of his business how he voted.
Gonnermann at once retaliated, but
Aid. FRANKIE came to the rescue with a
motion to adjourn, which was declared
carried amidst great confusion.
After the meeting it was learned that
the committee of the whole had taken
the action on the license transfer in the,
way of compromise on the recon-
mendation of the city attorney and
with the consent of the German Luth-
Grams. The other part of the compro-
mise being that the ordinance pro-
posed by the church people should be
regularly passed at the next regular
meeting.

SCARED THE DOCTOR.
B. Eichelman Plays Good Joke On a
Travelling German Physician.


A doctor named DR.. Frederick
Deutschherger, of Milwaukee, has for
some time been having an Office in
Kenosha, but it is doubtful if after the
events of today he will be seen here
again, as this morning the doctor was
made the base of huge joke, in which
B. Eichelman, the well known clothing
merchant, was the chief actor.
Mr.. Eichelman had been one of the
doctors patients and according to his
story the treatment was not as valuable
as the doctor had promised it to be.
Some time ago the doctor sold this
particular patient belt warranted to
be filed chock full of electricity and to
cure the disease with which Mr..
Eichelman was afflicted. Mr.. Eichelman
wore the belt for a few days and
discovered that it was of no value to
him and as he had paid a very high
price for it he decided to have his
money back. Among other qualifi-
cations which the belt was supposed to
have was that it would ward off any
sort of bullet. Of course this was
untrue but it furnished the Kenosha
merchant an excellent opportunity to
receive his money back.
When the pompous German doctor
arrived in this city this morning Mr..
Eichelman went at once to him and
demanded his money back, claiming
that he had been duped and that the
belt was worthless and would not ward
off bullets, as had been represented.
The doctor at first refused to give the
cash, and Mr.. Eichelman wanted him to
put the belt on and moving few PAGES
reached for his pocket, as if to give the
belt practical test with pistol shot.
Mr.. Eichelman pulled out a foot rule,
but it worked as well as Calling gun.
The German threw up both hands and
in moment had yielded up the money.
| The trouble between the men caused
considerable excitement and now
several people are looking for the,
! travelling doctor.
