Polygamy may be practiced I'M
der law which has passed the
Utah senate. Thesnews law grants
immunity from prosecution to all
persons living in polygamy, except
under the United States statute.
The avowed object of this act,
which is passed at the dictates of
the Norman Church, is to allow
men now having several wives to
live with them undisturbed. Pre-
parations are already being made
to resume openly the polygamous
relations.

COMPLAINS OF COUNTRY CLUB.
GAINESVILLE Golfer Says the Local Club has
Not Given His Club a Square Deal.

c. p. Garst has arrived home, COM
ing direct from GAINESVILLE. While IN
the latter town he made the acquaint-
ance of several members of the Country
club of that place. The GAINESVILLE
golfers claim that Kenosha has not
treated them exactly as she should
have done, as they feel that they are"
entitled to an opportunity to show
Kenosha how the game is played. Mr.
Collin G. Mclean claims that KenOsha
is afraid of GAINESVILLE. He says that
GAINESVILLE has conquered almost every
club that has played with them, and
that Kenosha, having heard of their
prowess, is purely and simply afraid to
meet them, especially on their own
grounds.
Mr.. Mclean says that reports have
reached GAINESVILLE (which reports may
possibly have been started in fun by
that inveterate Scotch practical joker,
Mr.. Rufus Hatch) that Kenosha has
made the claim that they were not de-
feated by fair means in their game
there, intimating that the GAINESVILLE
caddies ''knew their business" and
that through their valuable assistance
Kenosha could not win. Mr.. Mclean
is 1oath to believe that Kenosha be-
lieves any such rot, and states that,
the members of their club are golfers,
and sportsmen, and he wishes to be-
| 1ieve the same OF the Kenosha players,
and that if any caddie did "help" a.
GAINESVILLE player to win game it was,
entirely without the consent of said
GAINESVILLE player, and what is more, If
any member of the club should catch
one of their caddies doing anything
that even had the appearance of wrong,
in match game, or even in friendly
game among themselves, said caddie.

and GAINESVILLE should not be on the
same terms as each club is with the
rest of the go1fng world, and hopes
that any seeming differences may be
Sc tisfactorily adjusted, and that Keno
sha will consent to an arrangement
whereby it can be determined at an
early date which club has 1.-TWO yo1ks

Work of the Government to Install
Compressed Air Fog Signals
is Nearly Completed.
FINEST SYSTEM ON THE LAKE
The New Signal Will Give Out Sound
That Will be Heard Many Miles
Out in the Lake.

The United States government is
Just completing an elaborate system OF
fog signals in the Kenosha harDor.
For the purpose of accommodating the
mechanism of the signals and the en-
gines necessary to keep them operat-
ing the lower portion of the structure
housing the pier light on the north
Dier has been converted into large
room. In this room has been placed
two kerosene engines which will fur
nish the power for the operating OF the
signals. The signals which have oeen
placed in this room are of the latest
improved pattern and second to none
on the great lakes. The fog horn is
worked entirely by compressed air
which is supplied by. the two engines
These engines are warranted to ruu at
any time. But one of them is neces-
sary to work the mechanism OF the
signals, but the other one is kept IN
readiness for immediate service II the
other should be disabled by any acct-
dent. The trumpet connected with the
signals, which extends from the east
side of the light tower, is a mammoth
one, being six or seven feet IN lengehs
and having a bell about twenty inches
in diameter. The noise produced by
this trumpet is a tremendous one and
can be heard many miles out into the
lake, The workmen have placed the
trumpet in such a manner that the
burden of the sound will be carried out
into the lake and there is little reason
to suspect that Kenosha people wall De
disturbed in their sleep on account OF
the sounding of the warning signals.
With this new system of signals the
lighthouse keeper will be able to give
ample warning of the approach OF the
harbor and of the new breakwater.
The old signal, which had been in ser
vice for so many years, was not TT for
the new conditions.
The government workmen during
their stay in Kenosha have also took
occasion to repair the flash light at the
lighthouse and it will be ready for ser
vice at once.
The government has been very lib
eral to Kenosha during the past year
and a large amount of money has been
spent in making the Kenosha harbor
an ideal harbor of refuge.
