A. PICKERING NAVY.

The further the Schley Court of In.
quirv proceeds the more widespread be-
comes the opinion that the country will
get no glory out of the affair. A most
unfortunate state of jealousy and Viz
iousness is shown to exist in the navy,
and the candid person is obliged to con.
fess that the standard of ability among
naval officers is not as high as could be
reasonably wished. Petty quarrels and
red tape have led to what may be look
ed upon almost as a national scandal.

New Tactics Will be Adopted in the
Fight Over Main Street Bridge
When the Council Meets.
THE GOVERNMENT MUST APPROVE
City Fathers Are Opposed TO Accepting
Any Provisional Approval of the
Government Engineers.

The chances of the settlement OF the
old contest over the construction of the
Main street bridge by the Kenosha
street railway company are exceeding
1y rneagre, for at the meeting or the
committee yesterday afternoon steps
were taken which will be the cause OF
renewed contest between the company
and the representatives OF the people,
The committee not only refused to &C
cept any of the propositions presented
bv Mr.. Arnold, but they further de-
cided to have the city take the matter
of making plans for the bridge into its
own hands.
Every member of the committee was
opposed to the acceptance of any plan
which was not fully approved by the
United States engineer, and the COM
mittee will make a report to the coun-
ell this evening suggesting that the
city have plans made for the Dr1dge.
These plans will be drawn under the
direction of the city engineer and when
they have been fully approved by the
government officials they will be SUBJ
mitted to the company, which Will be
asked tosbui1d the bridge according to
these plans. The sentiment was op-
posed to any expenditure OF public
funds for the bridge, even if the city
officials drew the plan. The ordinance
of the company provides that the plans
for the bridge are to be satisfactory to
the council, and from the failures of
the engineer employed by the company
it seems time for the city to take
trial at plan making. Mr.. Arnold has
been notified that it will not be neces-
sary for him to attend the meeting OF
the council this evening as nothing
definite will be done.
While this committee has been
wrangling over the bridge plans the
committee appointed to consider the
amended ordinance of the railway COM
pany has not been able to make any
progress. It is understood that the
committee is divided, two of its mem
bers favoring a further amending OF
the ordinance and the third favorlng
the passage of the ordinance as 1T now
stands. The two members will prob
ably bring in a report this evening,
which, while granting the company
the change of route asked, will do away
with any monopoly planned, and at
the same time provide for some remun-
GRAFTON for the city for the use of the
changed route.

THE GOSPEL HALL.

A little more than a year ago the
mission was started filling a long felt
need, that of having some place where
the full gospel of salvation could be
taught and preached, the rooms being
open all the time and a free reading
room for the use of the public. Open
air meetings have been held whenever
the weather would permit and other
lines of christian work has been done.
The christian workers who have la
bored with us have, none of them, had
any stipulated salary, having just the
free will offering of the people.
The question has been asked, ''who
supports or pays the expenses of the
mission?" When the work was started
some subscriptions were solicited and
collected monthly, the same applying
on the rent, and the balance made up
by the free will offerings of those in
terested in and benefited by the mis-
sion. The work will still be carried on
in the new place, over Redeker & Eng
lish's hardware store, and will be sup
ported by the free will offerings of
those interested in the salvation of Ke-
nosha. Services every evening at 7:45
and Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Reading room open every day.
