FORMED A MOTHERS CLUB,
Organization Effected al the Washington
School Building.
Purpose OF the Society Officers Cho-
sen Meetings Go be Each Month,
at the school.

A very interesting initial meeting of
the mothers residing in the Washing
ton school district was held yesterday
az the Washington school building at
$3.50 o'clock. The room was inadequate
for the large attendance but by dint
OF crowding all the surplus chairs into
the aisles and halls and by utilizing
standing room, the crowd was finally
tucked in.
The meeting was called to order by
Principal Miss Qualtrough, who stated
in detail the object OF the assemblage,
namely, to effect an organization Of the
mothers Of the children In that dis
trict, and thus to secure a closer rela-
tionshlp between the parents. teachers
and children. thereby accomplishing
better results.
A song was next rendered by Master
Clyde Felt, after which an organization
was made as follows:
President. Mrs. Lizzie Haywood,
Vice president Mrs. Joseph Hyde.
Secretary. Mrs. Annie F. Elliott.
An executive committee is TO be Sc
lected by these ladies and presented at
the next meeting which will be on
Friday, December IA.
Ii was decided TO hold meetings the
second Friday OF each month. Profess
sor Cooper Is 70 be invited 70 the next
meeting to address the mothers.
In answer 10 a question as 70 what
topics were likely TO be discussed Miss
Qualtrough read a series OF headings
OF subjects that will require year
to use; the list was prepared by Prof
Cooper The balance Of the session
was devoted to an able paper on the
Rights Of Children" by Miss Quail
trough. This address was frequently
applauded and set many mothers 20
thinking wherein they had deprived
their boys or girls OF a right to learn
all they could at school, by keeping
them home for household duties.
The Washington school Mothers
Meeting" club bids fair TO be a valuable
auxiliary in the mutual interests OF
the parents, teachers and school chill
dren in that district

LOCAL EVENTS.
BIG TEAMS MEET TODAY.
University Hopes TO Defeat Y. NJ. c.
A. and Claim Championship.


For long time the Salt Lake foot
ball public has been anxious to witness
a game between Utahs heavyweight
teams-the Y. NJ. c. A. and University
aggregations.
Both teams have won two games, the
Christians defeating the Davis county
team. and the University defeating the
Logan and All HallOws teams.
The contesting elevens are evenly
matched In weight but the Varsity
lads are in better shape for battle
than are the Christians for the reason
that they have had more practice. In
diyidually the Y, NJ G. A. are better
players but in team work the Varsites
have have a shade the better OF IT,

BOARD of Ordinance Report.

Washington. Nov 24-The annual re-
port OF the bord OF ordnance and forth
ficatiOns sums up concisely a large
amount OF experimental work accom-
plished by the board during the past
year. A general statement OF what Is
needed in the future is contained in
the following paragraph:
The work Of equipping our coast for
tiacauons is progressing rapidly and
large portion OF the new armament Is
already installed There is imperative
need FOR an adequate force Of trained
artilleryists TO care for, and man
tho guns now mounted. The board,
therefore. deems It within its province
to invite the attention OF Congress to
the necessity Of reorganization and ma
terlal increase Of the artillery arm Of
the service:
I'm this connection, also, the board
recommends that steps be taken at an
carly date to provide the coast artillery
personnel with suitable ranges and 9TH
or facilities for carrying out each year
a system Of practical drill and target
practice with heavy guns under condl-
tons approximating those Of actual SER
vice
AS the primary object OF the de-
lenses IS to protect the harbors and
waterway along our coasts, the guns
are as q rule so placed that target fir

are IN such close proximity 20 the guns
as to be seriously affected by shock.
at least three such practice ranges
should be provided-one for the North
Atlantic. one for the South Atlantic and
Gulf and one for the Pacific coast"
a reference 10 the intention OF re-

construed as having the slightest bear

FAT AND LEAN

That is, babies; fat, they are
happy and safe; lean, they are
neither happy nor safe.
Apart from being entirely
healthy or not quite well, a fat
one has much reserve of vital

little or no reserve.

BUSINESS IS
NOW RECOVERING
Manufactured Goods Are Rising in
Price.
WOOL AND WOODEN GOODS.
Mia weather and Liquidation OF
Embarrassed Concerns initiate
Against Them.

New York. Nov. 23-R. C. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review Of Trade tomor-
row will say:
with reasonable promptness busi-
ness Is recovering both activity and
tone and fortunately with the sharp
rise In general prices which was seen
In the spring, and which was followed
BY q sudden and serious transition to
a more natural range. Manufactured
goods are rising In response to a bet
ter demand from distributing sources,
helped at the end Of the week by the
more seasouabe weather Business Is
not yet what It was on the top Of
the wave OF Industrial prosperity, but
this working force is fast increasing
The ordinary measures Of business re-
fleet operations at all points. but the
textile markets are at the point Of
least response to the improved under
tone Of trade.
Recital Of conditions In the iron and
steel market has become a monotonous
repetition. Each week there is the
same record OF activity 80 generally
distributed that everything from the
raw material to the finished product
enjoys a share. There is also the same
freedom from speculative accumula-
tion Ia anticipation Of fancy prices
that has been for weeks the most en-
couraging feature. Railroad com
panies compete for rolling stock EX-
port orders In some lines are filled with
difficulty. owing 10 the unusual d1mes-
tic demand for all forms Of iron and
steel products, but In no quarter Is
there any unreasonable imitation Of
prices, such as was seen during the me-
teoric ascent last year In few de-
scriptions prices on export orders are
shaded to hold the business.
Two factors initiate strongly against
activity and strength In wool and WOOL
ems. MID weather has been the chief
adverse influence reducing sales far be-
low a normal volume In this vicinity,
while liquidation OF embarrassed con-
Germs threatens to throw a considerable
quantity on the market at forced sales.
In the light OF these disqueting fea-
lures Il Is not surprising that sales OF
wool at the three chief eastern mar
kets declined to 5,354,33 pounds. against
$4,000 pounds In the week preceding
and 1880, 1872 pounds year ago. Hides
continue to rise, regardless OF the larg-
est arrivals Of cattle In Chicago in
many years.
Failures FOR the week were 23S In the
United States, against lgl last year,
and 29 in Canada, against p last year.

A BATCH OF ORDINANCES.
Kenosha to Undergo Another Fight for
Her Streets With Railwag Companies.

Kenosha to Undergo Another Fight for
Her Streets With Railway Companies.
From present indications it seems
that the city of Kenosha is to have
another term of fighting against rail
way companies who are seeking to
secure control of her streets without
giving the city any adequate return
for the courtesies extended.
Yesterday it was reported that a
company headed by Ex-Mayor DeWolf,
of Waukegan, had designs on the
streets of our city, and it is announced
today that the city officials have re-
ceived word that a promoter by the
name of Haynes, ably seconded by an
engineer named C1awson, will appear
at the council meeting next Monday
to present an ordinance asking for a
franchise for an electric road.
In regard to the Haynes proposition
there can be no doubt but that the
Milwaukee company are the men who
are behind the Chicago promoter. He
has not stated this fact is SO many
words, but he has given the mayor
and other officials to understand that
this is a fact. Mayor German was
seen this afternoon and stated that he
had been officially informed of the
coming of the franchise ordinances,
but he did not know what action the
council would take in regard to re-
ceiving them.
Personally" continued the mayor,
81 am in favor of the railroad, but
am in favor of the city first, and as
have always stood would not vote for
any company unless they were willing
to give the city proper remuneration
for the use of the streets. have been
in the council while three franchise
ordinances we're voted on, and the rec
ords will show that have not voted
in favor of granting a franchise tc
any of the companies"
AS to the route and the conditions
which will be laid down in the Haynes
ordinance, nothing has as yet been
made public, but it is reported that
the line will follow the line which has
been mapped out by companies in the
past.

LOOKS LIKE HOT AIR.
Electric Railway Franchise Hunters Tell
Many Stories of Their Plans.

From the number of people who have
been in Kenosha today alleged to be
interested in the street railway fran
chise one would think that something
was really going to drop at the council
meeting next Monday evening. But,
alas, it also seems that most of this
railway business is talk. No one has
as yet presented the scheme to the city
in black and white and it seems that
the Waukegan and Chicago gangs are
presenting ordinances only to the
newspapers. The Waukegan men are
making a whole lot of talk in regard
to what they propose to do, but the
officials of the city seem to think that
there is little in the scheme. The
Chicago men are in the same boat and
Kenosha is no nearer a railway than
before.
OF course it is barely possible that
the franchise hunters, seeing that the
city council will soon retire from the
business of granting franchises, will
make an effort to rush some measure
through the council in order to catch
the wavering brothers, but the
people will not allow this, and if the
company wants franchise let them
submit their proposition directly to the
citizens, and let them decide on it by
vote at the coming spring election.

FAVOR THE SCHEME,
Evanston Filter Scheme Appeals to
Pure Water Lovers in the City
and They Endorse 1t.
MAY PETITION THE COUNCIL

Tax Payers are willing TO Have an OPP
tional Filter Plan Adopted by the City
of Kenosha-The Filters TO be Paid for
by the Residents in whose Houses They
are Placed. = System Would Not, of
Course, be Compulsory to Tax Payers.
The recent action of the Evanston
City Council in passing resolution
providing that the city place filters in
the homes of all the citizens of the city
is causing great deal of favorable
comment in Kenosha and it has again
opened the discussion of pure water in
Kenosha. The business men have
taken the matter in hand and it is not
improbable that in the near future
they will present their views to the
City Council in the way of a petition,
asking that a similar scheme be
adopted in Kenosha. Wherever the
lake water has been used for cooking
and table uses it has been the cause of
a great deal of trouble, and while it
cannot be said that all the lake water
used is impure, it is certainly sus-
picious, and the people of Kenosha
and all the cities along the lake will
welcome any proposition which will
tend to remove this doubt as to the pu-
rity of the water. The scheme, as
proposed by the people of Evanston, is
that the city at the general expense of
the taxpayer, place filter in every
house in the city. The use of the filter
is compulsory. OF course that plan
will result in the expenditure of a
large sum of the money paid by the
people in the way of taxes, and at
present with a depleted treasury the
scheme would not be feasible in Ke-
nosha.
However, with this scheme as pat
tern, people in Kenosha interested in
pure water have suggested that the
city council of this city take up the
filter question, and arrange to have
the filters installed in the homes, and
then collect for them from each person
using the devices.
The experience of Evanston has
shown that the filters can be bought
in large quantities at a very small
cost, and many people of the city
would be only too glad to pay this
small sum to the water company for
the purpose of securing pure water.
Of course there would be no COM
pu1sion on the part of the citizens to
use the filters, but the water company
would become a sjobber and save the
citizens large amount of money by
furnishing the filters at largely re-
duced price. There must be some
change in the condition of the water
used in Kenosha, and this plan as sug-
gested by Evanston seems to be hap
Ply and what will be popular solution
of the difficulty.
