City Council Orders an Ordinance to
Compel the Wisconsin Telephone
Company to Act.
TO PROTECT BUSINESS STREETS
Acting City Attorney is Ordered to Pre-
pare an Ordinance Forcing the Com
pany to Place Wires Under Ground.

The city council has decided to take
a hand in the Kenosha telephone
war and if the sentiment of a resolu-
ton introduced into the council at the
meeting last night is carried out at
least part of the wires owned by the
Wisconsin Telephone company in
Kenosha will be placed under ground.
The council ordered the acting city
attorney to at once draw up an Ordi-
nance to force the Wisconsin Tele-
phone company to place all their wires
in the business district of the city
underground. 1t is thought that action
on the ordinance will be taken at the
next meeting of the council.
While it is greatly to be desired
that such an ordinance should be
passed, there is some reason to believe
that the city has no right to take
such action. In 1882 the City Council
passed an ordinance granting the
company the right to stretch their
wires on Main street and other streets
of the city. The ordinance, however,
does not have any provisions by which
the city should assume the right to de-
mand a word in the manner in which
the wires shall be stretched. In other
cities demands have been made on the
company and they have been needed,
but the suggestions have been made to
the company in this city without
effect. They claim it would be entire
1y too expensive a proposition to place
the wires under ground, even in the
business districts.
In Racine, where the company is to
have generous competition, the COM
pany heard the demand of the Council
and every wire in the business district
was placed under ground. While the
company may be doing larger bust
ness in Racine than in Kenosha, the
people of this city certainly have a
right to make some demands on the
company. During the past year TIE
business of the company in Kenosha
has been doubled and it is thought that
even greater additions will be made in
the coming year.
The people Of Park avenue have
made a great outcry on account of the
wires stretched on Park avenue and
this fight will probably end with the
wires going under the pavement on
this street as we'll as on Main, Market
and other cross streets in the business
district.

AN HOUR WITH "MIss JERRY
Alexander Black Entertains Large Au-
dience at the opera House.

The second number in the Y. M. CA.
course, Alexander Black in his pretty
picture play, ''Miss Jerry" attracted
large crowd to the Rhode opera house
Tuesday evening, and the entertain
ment was one of the most attractive
ever given in the city.
Mr.. Black and his picture play was
an innovation in Kenosha. The story
of Miss Jerry was told in a most
charming manner, and the different
incidents in the story of the play were
illustrated with views thrown on the
screen which gave the story the APP
pearance of play produced with a
full cast of characters. The story of
Miss Jerry is one of commanding
interest, Astounding in wit and pathos,
and introducing many characters well
known to all Americans.
The play as produced by Mr.. Black
was we'll received by the audience, and
he is assured hearty welcome should
he ever return to Kenosha.

Queen Victoria is dead: Victoria,

Of the nations meet about the bier of
the dead Queen, to the remotest cor

never sets, rise the lamentations of an
afflicted people. Under tropical suns
and northern skies, in the Occident

death of Great Britain's sovereign has
flashed grief to the hearts of countless
devoted subjects. A manifold people,
of manifold lands and languages and

manifold gods for the soul of the de-
parted Queen. The people of the earth,
who have never known another Eng

they have seen new nations rise and

KenOsha Man May Seek the Office
From Which Judge Fish
Has Retired.
MEETS THE RACINE SUPPORTERS
Justice Slater IS Urged to Accept a Nomi-
nation But withholds Els De-
cision Until Later.

John c. Slater, of this city, will
probably be candidate for the office
of Judge of the First Wisconsin dist
riot. While he has as yet made no
absolute decision in the matter, his
friends have called upon him and pre-
scented petition for his nomination.
The first request that Mr.. Slater be
candidate for the office, came from
Racine, and a representative body of
Democrats called on him last week and
asked for the privilege of presenting
his name. This the Judge refused,
stating that he was a supporter of
Judge Fish, and that he would not
allow his name to be presented for the
office unless the present incumbent
should withdraw from the race. After
the announcement of the withdrawal
of Judge Fish the Racine mep again
visited Justice Slater Saturday, but
his decision is withheld for the pres
ent.
Mr.. Slater was seen this morning
and stated that as yet he could not tell
whether or not he would be a candi-
date for the Office in question. He
said that he had been requested to be
a candidate by both Racine and Keno
sha members of the bar, but as yet he
could not see his way clear to enter
the race. For some time it has been
limited that Justice Slater would be
candidate for County Judge, and this
was his intention until the retirement
of Judge Fish on Saturday.
There is no doubt but that Mr.. Slater
would be as strong candidate as the
Democratic party could put up for the
position of Judge, and with fight on
between the two Republican candidates
Mr.. Slater sees a slight hope of land
ing on the bench. However the whole
affair awaits the decision of the
Kenosha man.
There is no other Democrat in the
district seeking to make the race and
Mr.. Slater would certainly be backed
by harmonious party.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Slater
said, 81 shall be in the field at the
Spring election. l may be candidate
for Circuit Judge, for County Judge or
for Justice of the Peace

PAID FOR HIS CRIME.
Recently Converted Dowie Follower Sends
Check for Things Stolen Years Ago.

49,
John Alexander Dowie has succeeded
in converting a Kenosha thief, for this
morning Mrs. George M. Melville, who
is keeping the store owned by her hus-
band on Market street, received letter
from Zion enclosing a money order.
The money order and the letter came
from former resident, who has been
missing from the city for some time.
The writer, whose name Mrs. Melville
refuses to make public, stated that he
was former resident of this city and
that at one time he had robbed George
Melville of small amount of mer-
chandise. He said that it was his pur-
pose to repay any loss Occasioned to
Mr.. Melville IN this manner and the
order which was enclosed covered the
amount taken, together with compound
interest on it for the years since the
robbery occurred. The letter stated
that the one time robber left this city
and went to Chicago, where he became
acquainted with the teachings of
Dowie and he became believer and
wanted to wipe out every blot against
his character. He said that since his
conversion he had been constantly
troubled with the thought that he was
in debt for the things which he had
taken by stealth and now that he had
paid the claim he felt that he could
continue his work as teacher in the
church. The money was accepted and
a receipt sent to the man, but Mrs.
Melville has not as yet discovered that
the robbery had been committed.
