DOWN AN ENBANKMENT.
Racine Lady and Gentleman Run Down
an Enbankment Near Kenosha.

A Racine lady and gentleman rode
to Kenosha yesterday on tandem and
took in the sights of that thriving little
city. It was quite late when they start
ed for home and dark before they had
proceeded far. At some point along
the path they ran down an enbank-
ment thirty feet to the ground. The
lady was rendered unconscious and the
man had his face cut and was other
wise hurt. The injured lady was
carried to a farm house and it was
found that her head was badly cut and
that she had sustained conclusion Of
the brain. 1t was an hour before she
fully revived and was brought home in
a carriage. The farmer at whose house
the lady was cared for received S.
bill for his trouble, but try as he might,
he could not ascertain the name of the
parties

DURING the present campaign Theo-
dore Roosevelt has Travelled more ex-
tensive1y in the West than any other
public man. He has met and mingled
with all classes of men. He is a man
of cosmopolitan character, capable of
coming into sympathetic relation with
those of the most diverse interests,
and is, therefore, more able than most
men to understand the conditions and
learn the sentiments of people. After
travelling through the West quite thor
oughly and getting at the thoughts
and wishes of the people of theWest as
few men could, Gov. Roosevelt comes
back with a firm conviction that the
Western states are rapidly deserving
the army of Bryan. He expresses the
conviction, founded upon his study of
the needs and demands Of the West,
that Organism is repudiated by many
of the Western states that were en-
rolled under the Bryan standard four
years ago. Kansas, Wyoming, Wash

Illinois State Yrison at Joliet.

Illinois State rison at Joliet.
George L. Magi1l, former president
of the Avenue Savings bank, and a
former resident of Kenosha, is seeking
his release from the penitentiary at
Joliet, whittier he was sent on a charge
of embezz1ement in March last. AL
together he has served but six months
in the state prison, he has presented a
petition to the state board of pardons in
which he recites that he has been
punished sufficiently and explains that
the insolvency of the bank of which
he was president was unknown to him
for several months before it's failure.
States Attorney Deneen has been
asked to furnish a transcript of the
court proceedings and says that he
will not oppose the application for
pardon.
Magi11 is one of a colony of FIVE
bankers at present serving sentences
in Joliet as the result of accepting de-
posits in their respective banks after
they were known to be inso1vent, and
he may be the first set free.
The application will be considered
on Oct. % by the board of pardons.
Many of Magil1's friends in Kenosha
would be pleased to have him released.

A NEW RAIL Way.
Farmers in the Eastern Part OF the
County Report That the North
western Will Extend.
TO HANDLE THE ICE TRADE.
Company Have Planned to Build Line to
Connect the Ice Regions of the
County With Chicago.

The farmers and property-owners in
the western part Of the county are
considerably agitated over the report
that there is to be a new railway built
in the lake regions of the county.
Yesterday the farmers were visited
by men soliciting right of way for
the company, and while no positive
statements were made, it is said that
the Chicago and Northwestern company
are behind the men and are planning
for large extension of their lines in
this county. With the opening Of the
lands along Powers Lake the ice
business in the county has been given
new impetus. Several companies
have purchased large sites on the
shores Of the lake and others are now
negotiating for the purchase of land.
With the exception of a little property
held by Chicago people the entire lake
frontage is in the hands of the big ice
| companies. The companies are de-
handing d more direct line for the
shipment of the ice to the metropolis,
and the company will undoubtedly
| build connecting line in the extreme
southwestern part of the county during
the next few months.
The property owners in the neigh
borhood are not all in favor of the
construction of the line, and the pur
chase of the right of way will undoubt-
eddy be expensive business for the
company building the line. One farmer
who was approached yesterday de-
manded $3, 500 for a right of way and
the men promoting the road refused to
pay so large an amount. In one place
it is known that the company paid as
high as $4 900 for a right of way
through one farm.
AS yet the plans for the line are in
embryo, but those acquainted with the
route state that it will include all the
lake regions of the county and will
connect with the Northwestern at
Richmond, III. When the road is COM
p1eted it will greatly facilitate the
work of the ice companies as at the
present time they are forced to ship
their great trains of ice to Chicago and
other cities by roundabout ways, and is
the purpose of the new line to make
direct connection of Chicago with the
ice districts.
1t is only question of time until the
entire lake region of the county will be
owned by the ice companies. Pretty
summer homes along the little lakes
are now giving way to big, ugly ice
houses and all the shores are dotted
with the cabins erected for the use of
the army of ice cutters. In the last
few years the holdings of the ice COM
panies have more than doubled and
they are still reaching out for other
lands which are now held as valuable
resort property. The price seems to
cut no figure with the companies and
they have paid extravagant prices for
small sites on the lakes. The Knick-
erbocker and Jefferson companies have
the largest amounts of realty in the
county but the antitrust companies
are building large houses and are max
ing a high bid for the land that is
accessible for the ice business
