temporarily in Milwaukee.
It is reported that local capitalists
are negotiating for the purchase of a
tract of land on the island for the pur-
pose Of building large coal docks.
Why not let the railway promoters
bid for a franchise in Kenosha. In
franchise as we'll as in all other lines
of trade competition is great pusher.
Invitations have been issued for the
first reception and ball to be given by
the Kenosha Camp Modern Woodmen
of America at Simmons hall Tuesday

And now Waukegan fears that Chi
cago is trying to annex the little viii

The work on the improvement Of the

ressing rapidly and the committee on
buildings and grounds hope to have it
ready for the opening of the season.
Chas. w. ZweeniC, one of the COM
positors of the EVENING News, has
been selected to represent the local
Typographical Union at the coming
International convention at Milwaukee
Cashmere Oarsen, an Italian, was ar
rested last evening by officer Joseph
Ortiz on a charge of disOrder1y con-
duct. He put up bonds to insure his
appearance this afternoon and was re-
leased.
Judge Fish has decided to take lit
tie outing and fishing trip and on that
account all the cases on the court cal
endar not already decided have been
laid over until the regular June court.
From present indications the summer
term of the court will be a pretty busy
one.
II is reported that Judge Fish does
not look with favor on the plan to
secure a pardon for Mrs. P1eva, and on
this account it is probable that the
friends of the woman will let the mat
ter rest for while. The Judge gave
it as his opinion that the woman had
not as yet been IL prison long enough
to atone for her crime.
The announcement that Robert M.
La Toilette will be candidate for the
nomination for the gubernatoria1 hon
ors on the Republican ticket, has not
caused anything of a stir in Kenosha
county and even supporters of his who
were with him in the last campaign
are not with him now. Kenosha
county is for Whitehead first, last and
all times.
The Eau Claire Leader has sent us
vigorous protest against the way the
papers in the State are advertising the
Milwaukee carnival and we are ready
to say ''Amen" to everything that the
Leader has to say. The papers of
Wisconsin are not in business to boom
Milwaukee, but the cities in which
they are published. All success to
Milwaukee and the carnival, but let
them do their own advertising for the
event or pay for it at space rates.
In the Circuit Court Wednesday
afternoon the final decision in the old
''Somers Ditch" case between Bernard
Ok and Nicholas Schackmuth was is
sued by Judge Fish and it practically
puts an end to the fight. The Judge
not only refused to grant an in junction
to prevent the town officers from open
ing the ditch, but he handed down
Judgment demanding that the plaintiff
pay all costs in the action. The costs
will be rather expensive, as the case
has been up before the courts for some
time. Mr.. Bohmrich, who conducted
the case for the plaintiff, has an
nounced that he will carry it to the
Supreme Court.
