Effort to Be Made to Organize an As
ISOLATION to Promote Civic Pride
in Kenosha.
TO CLEAN STREETS AND PARKS.
Leading Citizens to Form New Associa-
ton With State Charter to Aid the
Council and Street Commissioners.

A movement is being started among
the citizens Of Kenosha which has for
it's object the formation of an associa-
ton for the betterment of Kenosha.
The association will be known as the
"Kenosha Improvement Company. y
It will be incorporated under the State
law and will have for its object the
promotion Of civic pride among the
people of the city. The movement for
the organization of the associa ton has
been started by Attorney James Cava-
nagh, and while the plans are as yet
in embryo it is hoped that something
definite will be done by the early fall
Kenosha is rapidly becoming one of
the most beautiful cities on the lake
shore and it is the duty of her citizens
to take some move to protect and en-
nance the beauty of the city. The
public streets, the public parks, the
alleys and the lake shore are not kept
as they should be. The City Council
is hampered in the work of caring for
the city by lack of funds as we'll as
lack of incentive. It is the purpose of
the new association to furnish both.
To furnish small amount of money
each year for care and maintenance Of
the parks and to promote a feeling Of
civic pride which will furnish an in
centive for action to the members of
the Council.
Kenosha is growing rapidly and in
a decade it will be large city. AL
ready the people are considering the
demand of breathing places" and in
a few years the city will be built up to
such an extent that there will be no
place left for the children to go to Sc
cure the fresh air and sunshine. The
long stretch of lake shore in Kenosha
should be improved and made into. a
beautiful lake shore park so that in
future years the people of the city will
have some place that will be always
open for their use.
The parks will have to be cared for
and the new association promises to be
an aid to the city in this regard. The
streets must be kept clean and the Ke-
nosha Improvement company will help
ia this work. Vandalism is rampant
in Kenosha and the association would
plan to capture and make examples of
the vandals and in this manner rid the
city of them.
All this and more can be done by
such society as is being suggested
by Attorney Cavanagh. During the
next few weeks some effort will be
made to give this plan further intro
duction to the people of the city and it
is hoped that they will all see the great
of the work and lend their
aid in seeing that the plans do not
niscarry.

PREFER DISEASE TO CURE.
People Between Racine and Kenosha Are
Afflicted With Smallpox

People Between Racine and Kenosha Are
Afflicted with Smallpox.
Health Officer Spalding has made
the discovery that the country dis
tricts between Racine and Kenosha
are honeycombed with smallpox and
he reports today that there are between
thirty and forty cases of the disease
in these districts. The people seem to
be absolutely without fear from the
disease. The people affected with it
run about among the neighbors and
seem to prefer slight attack of the
dread disease to the cures that are be-
ing offered. In many cases doctors
are not called in to treat the patients,
no guarantees are established and
the disease is allowed to run wild.
Many of these people are daily rum
ming into both Racine and Kenosha to
trade and carving the germs of the
disease with them.
These facts are given out by the
health officer in order to allow the peo-
pie of the city aud county to see how
little care is being taken in the treat
ment of the cases of the disease. The
health officer has no power to force
these people outside the city limits to
establish guarantees over the disease
and he will probably ask the officials
of the county to take some action
The coming of the cold weather
promises to bring with it scourge of
smallpox to Kenosha if something is
not done to check the spread Of the
disease. Not only should more eff
fectual guarantees be established in
the city at any price, but some move
should be taken to force guarantees in
the country districts.

people Of Kenosha are assured of new
temple of worship in the near future,
as it is planned to build new church
on the site within few months.
The property secured by the church
society consists of four lots, two of
which were given to the society by
Peter Jacobs. The other two were
purchased at consideration of 5000.
St. CASHIERS society is rapidly gain
ing strength in Kenosha and ia short
time it will be listed among the strong
est church societies in the city. The
site for the new church is located in a
portion of the city which is largely in
habited by Polish people and the
church will be convenient for their
use.

FREEDOM FOR DOGS.
Chief of Police Orders Muzzles Removed
After Six Weeks of Dog Killings.

Chief of Police Orders Muzzles Removed
After Six Weeks of Dog Killings
The dogs of the city are again free
animals, as the Chief Of Police this
morning issued an order for the muz-
zles which have been worn by the
dogs for the last six weeks, to be re-
moved. This action was taken after
the different doctors of the city had
been consulted and all expressed the
opinion that there was practically no
reason to fear trouble from hydro
phobia i'll Kenosha.
The n1uzzle order has proved an ex-
cellent one and it has been generally
obeyed by the people of Kenosha. Dur
ing the six weeks that the order has
been in force the city has been prac-
tica1ly cleared of worthless and home
less dogs. Thirteen CANNES were
killed by their owners at the orders of
the police department, and twenty
three others met death at the hands of
the police.
The Chief declares that there are
now only four dogs in the city which
can not claim home. There has been
but one case of mad dog in the city
since the muzzles were ordered and
his case was not resultant from the
dog having been bitten by an animal
affected with rabies.

Hugh Pennington With Fame as an
inventor Comes to Keaosha Seek
ing Location.
He WOULD MAKE AUTOMOBILES.
Many Plans of Pennington in the Past have
Made Him an Unique Figure in Manufac-
turing World.-May Remain Here.

Hugh Pennington, of Boston, the
originator of the automobile idea in
the United States, has been IN Keno
sha for the past ten days looking over
the city with the view OF establishing
an automobile factory in the city. AS
yet his plans have taken no definite
form, but he has expressed very fa-
vorable view of the city and he is now
looking forssome one who is willing to
invest capital in the proposed factory.
Mr.. Pennington is something Of an
enigma to the manufacturing world
and he has probably been the promoter
of more interesting experiments in the
country in the last few years than any
other man. Electrical devices, flying
machines, automobiles and other SINH
lar means Of Iocomotion have in turn
been brought out by him, and this
latest venture is in the manufacture OF
high classSspeed automobile.
Pennington's experiments have
made the.world stand agape and some
of his proposed schemes have been So
wonderful that he had years ago re-
ceived the name of "Hot Air. Penning-
ton. He invaded classic Boston and
his experiments were of such won
derful nature that all were amazed and
mystifed. But nothing came Of them.
The great factories which he promoted
for the building of his wonderful in
ventions never went further than the
newspaper reports of them, and the
great plans to flood the world with
these inventions seem to have been
lost in the fertile mind Of the inventor.
Pennington's plans always had
merit and there is little douDt but that
these plans were in part responsible
for the final completion of the first
motor carriage. For years Penniug
ton worked in seclusion to get the
working drawings of the automobile
completed and when they were com
pleted other hands took them up and
worked out the practical from the
dream and the automobile was the re-
suit. Almost every city of the known
world has seen more or less of Pen
nington and has been interested in his
work. "The other side" is favorite
topic with him and few men in the
country have made more trips abroad
than Pennington. Mr.. Pennington is
a Beau Brummel among gentlemen. A
splendid conversationalist, a man Of
wide learning, one who knows of all
the world, he proves splendid com,
panion, and shis visit to Kenosha has
been an interesting one to those who
have come in close relationship with
him.
AT present Mr.. Pennington has a
plan for building speed autos and he
now has a number of these machines
in building ia Boston. He claims that
the machine will be the greatest thing
in the way of an auto ever built either
in this country or abroad, and that it
will outshine the famous French ma
chimes. Pennington claims to have
partners in Chicago and Milwaukee
who are willing to back him if he man
ages to secure site for the erection of
a factory, and it is possible that this
latest scheme will prove the successful
one of his long career.

NO BRIDGE THIS YEAR.
West Middle Street Bridge to Be Repaired
But Not Rebuilt at This Time.

-
But Not Rebuilt at This Time.
Mayor Pfennig and the members of
the committee on streets and alleys of
the City Council were out on tour of
inspection this morning to look over
the Middle street bridge which was re-
Gently damaged by the heavy rains.
The bridge was very seriously dam
aged, but the members of the commit
tee are of the opinion that it can be
braced up in such manner as to make
it last for short time. The condition
of the city finances at the present time
would not warrant the expenditure of
$4,000 for the building of a steel
bridge at this point. The Council
has ordered the City Engineer to
prepare plans for the bridge and
they will be in readiness as soon as the
Council can secure The money to COM
plete the work.

DAM The DESPLAINEs.
A Project Which is Link in Deep Water
Way to the Gulf

A Project Which is Link in Deep Water
Way to the Gulf.
A twenty foot dam that will give
navigable water in the rapids Of the
Desplaines river and be connecting
link in the deep water way from Chi
cago to the gulf is to be built soon if
present plans are carried out.
The primary purpose Of the dam will
be to create from 10000 to $4,000 horse
power. 1t is to be built at Lake Joliet,
south of the city of Joliet. The entire
flow of the Chicago drainage channel
is to be used to generate electric en-
ergy for transmission to Chicago, Jo1-
let and other points. Eastern capital
is said to constitute the principal
backing, although there are Chicago
stockholders.
The dam would solve in part one of
the engineering problems of a deep
waterway. From the controlling
works ats Lockport to Lake Joliet
there is fall Of nearly fifty feet, and
expensive locks and dams will have to
be constructed before a navigab1e
channel can be secured. The Lake
Joliet dam would furnish slack water
for nearly usone-third the distance.
Practically the only additional work
would have to be done between the
controlling works ard the upper basin
at Joliet. Below Lake Joliet the fall
is small and the current not too swift
for navigation.
