ARNOLD HEARD FROM.
President Orders That the Work On the
Kenosha Road be Resumed at once.

The officers of the Kenosha Street
Railway Company have received ca
BILE message from B. ]. Arnold, the
President of the company, instructing
them to make arrangements to start
the work on the railway at once and to
start it With the intention of pushing
it to completion as soon as possible. 1t
is not known on what grounds the de-
cision is based, as the bond of the COM
pany has not as yet been approved and
the decision of Judge Fish is still on
record against the company. The
company are banking on the support
of the Supreme Court of the state on
the questions involved in the franchise
fight and they are evidently prepared
to build the road and take the Conse-
quenees of having the property made
worthless by decisions of the court.
The fight will be clear cut one and
the only aid to the company will be the
franchise ordinance passed by the City
Council. For some time the company
had been negotiating with the Fred S.
Comstock people for the purchase OF
the old Comstock ordinance, but all
these negotiations have been declared
off and the company is planning to
make fight against all claimants for
rights in the city. Mr.. Arnold is an
experienced man in the railway line,
but his determination to build the road
under such heavy opposition has
caused. a great deal of comment in the
city Mr. Arnold sailed for home to-
day anG is expected to reach Kenosha
the first of next week.

COMEDY OR TRAGEDY
Letter From an Alleged Suicide Is
Picked Up on the Lake Shore
Sunday Afternoon.
SHOES EVIDENCE OF TRUTH
shoes Belonging to a woman Supposed to
Be From Evanston, ILL.,, Found Just
South Of the Letter.

Sunday afternoon pedestrians walk
ing along the banks of Lake Michigan
south of the city picked up scrubbed
note which pretends to be the story OF
tired life casting off the burdens that
flesh is heir to by casting her BODY IN
to the rolling waves of Lake Michigan.
Of course the note may have been a
fake, written for practical joke, but
other evidence was found which tended
to show that the story might be true
and that the old beating waves of the
lake had told the story OF another
tragedy. The note was found about a
mile south of Kemper Hall, and it ap-
peared to have been placed under the
protection of large rock. When
found the water had partially erased
the contents but they were still able to
be read. The message bore no date or
head line and was scrubbed on piece
of heavy card board. It read as
follows:
Owing to troubles at home | can't
stand it no longer. Father is unk1nd
to me; boys are worse. When you hear
of me again my body will lie in Lake
Michigan. Wishing you happiness IN
this world, remain your child,
EDNA.
A little distance below where the
note was picked up there were found
floating on the edge of the surf pair
of woman's shoes. They were dainty
and petite and appeared to have be
1onged to one of the better classes.
The shoes seemed to carry out the con-
tents of the note and in manner they
offer a solution to the identity of the
suicide, if there was one. In the in
side of one of the shoes is found the
name. C. Z. Wiswa11, Evanston HI.
OF course this is the name of the dealer
from whom the shoes were purchased.
One of the shoes was we'll worn but
the other seemed almost as good as
new. No other trace could be found
along the lake although the shore was
followed for some distance.
Of course the note may be the work
of some practical joker, but the finding
of the shoes give some clue to the
police on which to work. AS far as
can be learned no one by the name OF
Edna is missing in Kenosha. No re-
port of any one being missing has
been given to the police and indica-
tons point to the belief that the shoes
must have belonged to some one resid-
ing at Evanston, III. The matter was
referred to the Kenosha police and the
officers at Evanston have been notified
of the find. The case will be investi-
gated as far as possible.

AT TER THE PEDDLERS
Merchants Ask the City Council to
Protect Legitimate Business
in Ken0sha.
ORDINANCE SHOULD BE PASSED
City Council Do Little work at Their
Meeting Beyond the Regular Routine
famous Middle Street Sewer.

The City Council met in regular
session at the city hall last evening
but the meeting proved to be dull
and uninteresting one. The only
business of great interest was the fact
thai the merchants started move to
protect the avenues of legitimate trade
in KenoSha.
For some time the merchants of the
city have been handicapped by having
pedd1ers come to Kenosha and pedd1e
wares on the street. This evil has
touched all kinds of business. The
unlicensed huckster and the old man
with the needles and the ever present
street fakir have found Gin Kenosha a
green pasture. The business has
proved remunerative and much of the
trade that should have gone to local
the city has been handed out to people
who have no interest here and who
handle goods of inferior quality. TIC
remedy this evil the merchants pre-
sented an ordinance providing for the
licensing of pedd1ers. The license
covers all kinds of business and the
people that are exempt are the cripples
who are forced to seek a livelihood
from the charities of the people and
the travelling man who sells to the re-
tail merchants. All other pedd1ers will
be frowned upon by the city as soon as
the ordinance becomes a law, and they
will be forced to pay license of 81 a
day for every day they sell their goods
in the city. This license will also APP
ply to transient merchants, as the
law will provide that any man who
does not pay taxes in the city shall be
held to be a transient until he shall
have been in the city for period of
six months.
The ordinance met with favor in the
eyes of the aldermen, but there were
some legal points that needed to be
looked up and the ordinance was re-
ferred to the committee on judiciary.
While they were in the ordinance bust
ness the council took up the junk
ordinance, which was passed and
ordered published. The ordinance pro
vides that all junk dealers in the city
shall pay an annual license of S35.
The old fight over the Middle street
sewer which has been before the
council came up again at the meeting
and an effort will 5e made to increase
the current of Pike river by building Il
sewer on Middle street TO enter int
the stream, Sewar experts have ~

SHOT AT KENOSHA MAN.
Policeman Bose called to Arrest Man Who
Created a Disturbance.

Policeman Bose fired three shots at a
Kenosha man about 10 O'Clock last
night, but failed to wing him and he
escaped. It appears that the young
fellow boarded Milwaukee, Racine 81
Kenosha car. He was under the int1u-
ence of liquor and proceeded to use
abusive language and wanted to whip
every person in the car and did start to
fight Conductor Bishop managed to
quiet the young fellow for time, but
he would break out and yell like an
Indian. An officer was sent for and
when Tenth and Wisconsin streets was
reached policeman Bose boarded the
car and placed the man under arrest.
While leaving the car with the fell
low the officer had hold of his arm.
The conductor called to Bose and told
him TO look out, as the man had a gun.
AS the officer turned his head to hear
what was said, the Kenosha man
erked away and started on run to-
ward the north. Bose gave chase and
gained on the fellow and called for
him to stop or he would shoot, but he
ran all the faster.
Then the officer pulled his revolver
and commenced blazing away. He
fired three shots, but two were in the
air and the third one point blank at the
fellow, failed to wing him and he got
away.1
Quite a crowd of people heard the
racket and assembled, and for time
some excitement prevailed,
For some weeks past there has been
a nun1b Der of hood1ums who made it
practice to come from Kenosha and
get full and on the way back they Gre
ate trouble on the cars. It is the in
tention of the electric railway officials
to stop this and warrant will be is
sued for this young man and he will
be brought here and prosecuted on
charge of disorderly conduct and Great
ing a disturbance.-Rac Journal.

dining room were in harmony. Pork

the vail OF the friends of the sewer
became SO strong that it was necessary
for the council to take some action and
on the recommendation of the COM
mittee the sewer was ordered laid.
The committee and the Mayor were
ordered to enter into contract with
the Reichert Construction company,
which presented the lowest bid for the
work. The council also ordered the
construction of a sewer on Maple
street.
There was no further business of
interest. The council took no action
on the railroad matter and the affair
was not mentioned during the evening.
