KENOSHA IN 1906.

Catho 4, Benevolent Societies to Hold Their
Convention Here Four Years Hence.
The Kenosha delegates who were
attending the State convention of the
Catholic Benevolent societies at Osh-
kosh, returned home Wednesday night
and they announce that while the next
convention of the societies will not be
held in Kenosha assurance has been
given that the' convention of 1906 will
come to this city.
There was three cornered fight for
the next convention between the dele
gates from Waukesha, Manotowoc and
Kenosha and this city received more
than one third of the votes of the dele
cation on the first ballot. Manotowoc
was very anxious to secure the conven-
ton for 1904 and for this reason the
Kenosha delegates and their friends
formed pool with the Manotowoc
deleg ates and threw the convention to
that city with the understanding that
Kenosha should have the honor of en-
tertaining the convention of two years
later.
The Kenosha delegates took a prom
inent part in the proceedings of the
convention and they report splendid
time. They are high in their praise of
the princely entertainment furnished
by the Oshkosh societies.

Heiss Court C. O. F. Celebrates the
Twelfth Anniversary of Its Found
ing Wednesday Evening.
GREAT CROWD IN ATTENDANCE
Five Hundred of the FOresters and Their
Friends Make Merry at Schlitz Hall
in Honor of the Anniversary.

Wednesday evening was a gala one
in the history of Heiss Court No. 159,
Catholic Order of Foresters, as it was
the twelfth anniversary of the found
ing of the order in Kenosha. In honor
of this anniversary the members of
the chapter and their friends gathered
at Sch1itZ Hall on Milwaukee avenue
and celebrated the event with due
ceremony. The hall was brilliantly
decorated with flags, bunting and the
emblens of the order and more than
four hundred and fifty of the mem bers
of the Court and invited guests took
part in the celebration. Many For
esters from Racine and Milwaukee
were also present to assist in the even
ing's celebration.
In the early part of the evening a
program was rendered, at which vocal
and instrumental music was furnished
by G. F. Stemm, Edward Zeyen, Ed
ward Busek, and quartette consisting
of Messrs. Ed. zeyen, John Boresch,
and Misses Clara Zeyen and Rose
Ludwig. At the close of the musical
program John T. Kelley, of Milwau-
kee, State Organizer of the Foresters,
delivered an address, in which he
spoke of the great work the order had
done in Kenosha and in the State. He
paid high compliment to the Keno
sha Court of the order, claiming it to
be one of the best in the State.
After the program was over the
guests retired to the dining room,
where banquet was served. The ia
bles, eight in number, were Ella Dorate-
ly decorated with bunting and flowers
and the six course dinner served by
the lady friends of the members of the
Court was one of the finest repasts
ever served in the city.
After the banquet was over the
guests returned to the hall and social
dance closed the evening. The music
for the dance was furnished by the
Stemm Brothers orchestra and dane
ing continued until early morning.
Heiss Court c. O. F. is the strongest
benevolent organization in Kenosha.
During its twelve years of life the
Court has had remarkable growth
and it now boasts more than $50 mem.
bers. It is the sixth largest Court of
Foresters in the State.
The Kenosha Foresters have done a
great deal of good for the members of
the Court and its membership is con-
stantly growing.

President of Ken0sha Electric Railway
CompanyIis. Chosen For Great
Work in Chicago.
HAS A HUGEsENGINEERING TASK.
Head of the Kenosha Company is Selected
to Solve Traction Troubles of Chicago.
Full Reorganization Planned.

Bion ]. Arnold, who is at the head
of the Kenosha Electric Railway COM
pany, who recently devised a scheme
for the use of the electric power on the
New York Central railroad, and who
planned the intramural system of rail
ways at the Chicago Worlds Fair, will
be given nthe contract to revise the
traction systems of Chicago. The
local transportation committee decided
on the engineering expert Wednesday
and will ask permission from the
council to expend $1,000 for the work.
Mr.. Arnold undertakes a large en-
gineering proposition. He is to report
q complete plan of reorganization for
the city street railways, including
every feature, which has been subject
of discussion in the last few years.
He must give an estimate of the cost
of production of a new system ade.
quate to serve the public and designed
along the lines of the best practice IN
vogue. He also must submit an esti-
mate of the net ear nings which proba-
bly, would be secured by the new sys-
tenn, based on present'business
He is to report on the feasibility and
desirab ility of an underground conduit
system in the down town district and
on all trunk lines within prescribed
limits with arrangements for trans
ferring from overhead to underground
trolley He also is to re-route the
present lines outside the business dis
trict in the manner to furnish the best
transportation facilities to residents.
He also must furnish preliminary
plans for system of subways in the
business district which, coupled with
the surface system of terminal facili-
ties, will furnish adequate accommo-
dation to the public and which also
will provide for an increase in traffic
in years to come, relieve the congested
district and create much larger dis
trict available for business purposes.
The selection of Mr.. Arnold for this
great engineering feat is recognition
of the great abilities of Mr.. Arnold as
an engineer. There is no doubt but
that Mr.. Arnold today stands at the
head of his profession in this country.
His selection by the people of New
York and Chicago for these great en-
cheering feats is great compliment
to his abilities.
The work of Mr.. Arnold in Chicago
will in no way effect the work in Ke-
uosha and the electric road in this city
will be completed just as soon as the
Council gives the right to the engineer
to go ahead with the work.

HOBO USES A KNIFE.
Jacob Karpen, Bartender, Is Seriously
Injured by a Wandering Willie.

Jacob Karpen, a Bartender, Is Seriously
Injured by Wandering Willie.
There was quite little excitement
at the saloon of John Karpen, on
Middle street, yesterday afternoon,
when a tramp, whose name could not
be ascertained, made a murderous
assault on Jacob Karpen, the bartender
in the saloon, by burying knife in
his wrist. The bartender had the better
of the argument for he seized beer
bottle and dealt the hobo blow on the
head which laid him out.
The fight was the result of the hobo
refusing to pay for brace of drinks.
The man entered the saloon and walk
ing up to the bar he asked for three
drinks, which were served him. The
bartender then demanded pay before
more drinks were given and the trouble
started. The hobo drew knife from
his pocket and made for Karpen and
managed to stick the knife into Kar-
pens wrist, causing an ugly wound.
Karpen in self-defense welded the
beer bottle. The tramp was badly in
jured and he was sent to a doctor who
dressed his wounds. No complaint
was made against the fellow and he
managed to escape from the city.
The matter was reported to the police
and if the tramp returns to the city he
will be arrested on a charge of assault
with intent to do great bodily harm.

CasWelI Car and Improvement Com
pany, of Chicago, Would Locate
Their Factory in Kenosha.
CITIZENS MUST TAKE STOCK
Company Is Capitalized at 100000 To
Manufacture Stock and Grain Cars
Under the Caswen Patents

Mayor Charles Pfennig has received
a letter from w. S. Chiffon, general
manager of the Caswe11 Car and I'm
provement company, Of Chicago, stat
ing that the company would like to
locate factory in Kenosha.
The company is chartered under the
laws of Illinois with a capital stock of
$500, 900, and one-ha1f of this amount
IS paid up. The company controls the
Caswell patents on cars to be used for
shipping coal, grain and cattle. The
cars are now being manufactured by
jobbers and have been proved to be
successful after several years of use.
The personnel of the company in
Guides w. A. Caswel1, president; E. A
Featherstone, treasurer, and A. J.
W1therel1, secretary. All of these men
are we'll known in the industrial world
of Chicago.
Mr.. Gibbon states in his letter that
the company will locate in Kenosha if
some of the capitalists in the city will
subscribe for a portion of the stock
now offered for sale. The company
will erect twelve large buildings and
will employ from 200 to 1000 men. 1t
is the plan of the company to have a
factory with capacity of from FIVE to
twenty cars day, and such a factory
would be the largest car building plant
in this part of the country.
The Caswell cars are now IN use on
many of the leading roads in the
country and have been proved to be
entirely successful. If the company
had proper facilities to place the cars
on the market there seems to be reason
for believing that the company could
make large profits.
Mayor Pfennig has presented the
proposition of the Caswell company to
several of the leading capitalists of the
city and later it will be presented to
the Common Council.
If the enterprise is a meritorious
one, every possible effort should
be made to locate the plant in Kenosha.
During the past few weeks the Ra-
cine Business Mems association has
secured the location of seven factories
in that city, and it is high time that
the Kenosha people got move on
themselves and did something to get
some new industries in the city.
