CHICAGO & North Western Company
and Kenosha Street Railway Com
pany Have Agreement.
C. g. N. w. PROTECTS CROSSINGS
Curves, Switches and oY's Arrived This
Morning and Road Can Now Be Fin
ished-Work Starts Tomorrow.

There will be no trouble between the
Chicago & Northwestern company
and the Kenosha Street Railway COM
pany in regard to the crossings n the
streets of Kenosha, and the guards
which have been employed by the
steam roads have been removed, and
no longer are the crossings in dispute.
The two companies have reached a
most amicable agreement IN regard to
the crossings, and a contract has been
made by the managers of the compan-
les. This contract has not as yet been
signed, but it is entirely satisfactory
to both compa MES, and the North
Western company has placed its ap-
prevail on the crossings to be put in by
the street railway company. The con-
tract for the manufacture of the cross
ings has been let to the Page Iron
company, and the crossings will be
shipped to the city within few days.
By the contract which has been
made the work of protecting the cross
ings has been left in the hands of the
North Western Railway company, and
in many cases the gates now erected
will be used for this purpose. 1t was
expected that the two companies
would have long legal fight oyer the
crossing question, and the agreement
made clears the air of all trouble in
this regard.
This morning the much-delayed
curves, Us and switches arrived in Ke-
nosha and Superintendent Clark an
nounces that the work of putting them
! in will be started tomorrow. It will
probably take several weeks to COM
p1ete this work, but it will all be COM
pleted by the first of the new year.
Mr.. Arnold has given orders to his
superintendent to complete the entire
line as soon as possible. A mile of
track remains to be built. There is
now nothing to delay the completion
of the line except the Allen injunction
and this will probably be disposed OF
at an early session of the supreme
court of the state.

WEISMANN DENIES STORY
That He Has Come TO an Agreement and
Will Stop Practic1ng Law.

Attorney Henry Weismann, of
Brighton, arrived "a Racine Monday
and in the afternoon argued a number
of cases before Judge Fish, in the Cir
cult court. Mr.. Weismann states that
reports sent out that he had given HER
the law and would devote his whole
time to farming, are false. He expects
to practice right along and has not en-
tered any agreement with the people
who petitioned to have his mental con-
dition examined into,
He says that since the time physi-
clans of Kenosha reported him insane
the officials have made no effort to-
come and take him to the asylum and
he does not believe they will. He has
not spoken to or even recognized one
person who had anything to do with
that proceeding. He will bring snit
for SIS, 900 against then when the
proper time comes. 1t is his intention
to prosecute all suits he has COM

WINDsOR'S TEAM WINS.
Kenosha Bowlers Win Victory and Have
a Great Time in Chicago.

B. F. Windsor's team of Kenosha
bow1ers and the team representing the
American Steel and Wire company,
clashed on the alleys of the Chicago
Athletic Club in Chicago last Satur-
day afternoon and evening, and as
result of the battle the Kenosha team
returned home Sunday with clean
record of three straight games won
from the Chicago bow1ers. The day
will probably remain as red letter day
among the Kenosha bow1ers, for never
did they receive such royal atment.
AS soon as the game was finished the
Kenosha boys were the guests of honor
at banquet given in the grille room
at the club, which proved to be one of
the most sumptuous feasts ever served
by the club mem ers.
A return game between the team S
will be played at the Grant house alleys
in this city soon after the holidays.
The members of the Kenosha team
were B. F. Windsor, William Can't
we'll, John Kehlor, J. Keck Wheeler
and James Keh1or.

SOME 4EJ HONE RULES.
Funny Men at Bristol Get UP Set of Rules
For stol Telephone Co. Subscribers

For stol Telephone Co. Subscribers
The lnny man at Bristol has sent
to this PAPER code of rules which he
alleges were recently adopted by the
managers of the Bristol Telephone
company. The full text of the rules
follows:
At Z meeting of the stockholders Of
the Bristol Telephone Co. on Dec. 9th,
1901, ia their office on Copac avenue
the following rules were adopted:
Artiole 1. The use of phone IN
private family shall be restricted to the
head Of the household and where the
woman Is at the helm she shall not
hold I'll line more than one hour at
one tin e.
ArtiCA 2. In no case shall visitor
in the 4milY be allowed to use the
'phooc without paying the sum of 10
cents in advance. While this rule may
appear at the first thought to be rather
rougl. on the guest the owners should
remember that the interests of the
stockholders are paramount and bust
ness IS business.
ALtICAS LII Case -! d SlI aug US
ing telephone in public places all per
sons present are requested to move as
near the user as possible, opening their
months as wide as may be in order to
catch the conversation.
| Article 4. All users of telephones
along the line are requested to take
down their receivers at every call.
Article S. Cross-eyed people must
hold tie receiver in right hand and
| tooth1sss persons will not chew their
words.
Article 6. Persons having catarrh
or ot4 IN breath will stand two feet
from hone as the odor is very often
sive to listeners along the line.
Article 7. All deaf and dumb per-
sons are requested to use phone be-
| tweeu p and 10 a. IN. only.
Article 8. No business man shall al
low any customer to use his phone
without depositing 10cts. Upon re-
fusal to pay said dime call Bristol fire
company and turn the hose on him.
Moral-It is far better for the B. M. to
lose a customer than for the company
to lose 1Octs.
Article 9. Owners of phones are re-
quested to purchase safes costing not
more than $50 in which to keep the
dimes collected from outside parties.
At the end of each week amounts in
safes exceeding $500 shall be turned
! over to the treasurer.
! The .4aove rules shall take effect on

MUST ADVERTISE.

A fundamental fact which persons
who have articles TO sell or services to
render cannot ignore, is that this is Il
time of sharp competition, in which
there is tremendous effort of enter
prising men to increase their share OF
business. Inevitably the business
man who shall not keep his establish

who advertise constantly and loudly
nobody will charge his mind with re-

KENosHA CLUB BANQUET.
| Semi Annual Meeting of the Kenoshs Clu b
Held in Chicago Monday Evening.

Sem1-Annual Meeting of the Kenoshs Glu
Held in Chicago Monday Evening.
The semi-annual meeting of the Chi
Cago Kenosha Club was held last eve
ming at the dining room of the Misses
Clark in Chicago aud the meeting
proved to be one of the most interest
ing ever held by the old Kenosha boys
and girls in Chicago. The dining
room was given over entirely to the
club, and the tables were decorated
with red and black ribbons. Before
the semi-annua1 banquet the election
of officers was held and Charles p
Parish waselected President, and Mrs
Lille Burgess Lewis was elected Sec
rotary aud treasurer.
After the banquet was over a num-
Der of toasts were responded to by
members of the club present Presi--
dent Parish acted as toast master and
the principal toast of Intervening was
delivered by Col. Dennis J. Hyues, one
of the business managers of the Chi
cago Tribune.
Col. Hynes' toast was a eulogy of the
late Col. A. B. Capron. For half am
hour he spoke of the life and charac-
teristics of Col. Capron and he CharaC-
terized him as one of the most famous
soldiers that had ever gone to war
bearing the honor of Kenosha on his
shield.

CLAUsEN DICTATES TERMS.
Hearing of Accused Promoter Again Post
poned by Chicago Judges.

pOned by chicago Judges.
Gustav L. C1ausen, of Chicago, is
evidently debating terms on which
Justice can be melted out to him, as the
District Attorney this morning re-
ceived telegram stating that the
hearing of the case, which was sched-
u1ed to be held before Judge Kavan-
agh, had again been continued at the
request of the attorneys for Mr..
C1ausen. No date has been set for the
hearing, or if any date has been set
the attorneys for the State have not
been notified of it. One of the attor-
news in the matter informed Mr.. Buck
master that he won1d be notified when
there was time to take up the matter.
This is simply a case of Chicago meth
DDS and it is probable that Mr.. Clausen
will baye so fortified himself
by the time his case is finally called in
court that he will have little trouble to
make his habeas corpus writ st1ck.~
''To man up tree" it looks as IT
Mr.. C1ausen were going to a great
deal of trouble to ward off the blow
which will probably result in his be-
| ing cleared by the courts.
The district attorney is not losing
great deal of sleep over the Clausen
case and if the Chicago attorneys are
of the opinion that the many delays
will wear the Kenosha attorney out
they are very much mistaken.

ABOUT THE BARRY LINE,
Capt John Barry Still Insists That the
Line has Not Been Sold.

John Barry, president of the Barry
Transportation company, has sent out
a new denial of the sale of the Keno
sha-Waukegan & Chicago line to-
Captains Kennedy and Pittman, and
now declares that the line is still under
the Barry management.
While it is true that the new owners
of the line are now in charge of the
boat and the business, Mr.. Barry in
sists that the new company is working
for him and under his direction.
This may or may not be true but the
original story of the sale OF the line, as
told in the Evening News, was taken
from letter written and signed by
Mr.. Barry himself, in which he stated
that the arrangements had been made
to sell the boat, and from the state
rpents of the company. 1t is stated to-
day that Captain Cameron of this city
is not in any way connected with the
purchase of the vessel by the new
owners.

del and is Laid in Jail for Repairs.
A tramp by the name Of With is oc-
cupying cell at the county jail await
ing a trial on a charge of resisting an
officer. The. officer in question was
constable by the name of Truesdel re-
siding IN Somers. 1t seems that on
last Saturday With was not in favor
of standing out in the rain and went
to the home of William DeBerg to seek
shelter. AS he approached the door
the latter was slammed in his face.
He attempted to expostu1ate when the
constable arrived and attempted to ar
rest With. The latter resisted and the
outcome of it all was that Truesdel
raised a loaded cane and beat the fell
low into submission. The constable
then demanded that With accompany
him to the county jail, and With again
refused to look at the matter in this
light. The assault on the tramp was
resumed and when the man was finally
landed Ia jail he was terribly beaten.
The man claims that Truesde1 did not
tell him he was an officer of the law,
and threatens TO make it very hot for
the country COnSta BILE.
