KenOsha Gas and Electric Company
Will Not Furnish Power for the
Street Railway Company.
OPERATION WILL BE DELAYED.
No Cars Will be Run Until the Street Rail-
way Company Can Build its own Power
House.-Delay of Many Months.

Although the trolley wires have been
hung and the cars bought, no cars will
be operated on the line of the Kenosha
Street Railway company until some
time next summer, and all the good
resolutions of the managers of the
company to put cars on between the
north limits and the bridge were
simply the halcyon dreams of progress
which were not calculated to come
true. Today it is formally announced
that the negotia tons between the Ke-
nosha Gas & Electric Company and
the railway company are off, and the
Electric Company will not furnish
power for the operation Of the rail
way. This report was partially con-
firmed by F. w. Bowen, of the Gas
Company, who stated that the negotia-
tons were at the same place they were
a year ago when the railway company
first approached the Gas Company.
Roger Kimba11, who is in charge of
the Electric Light plant stated that
the entire amount of power to be used
by the Railway company would result
in his department receiving about
three dollars day, and for this reason
the extra effort would hardly be COM
pensated for.
Mr.. Arnold in speaking with the
officials of the Gas company in regard
to running the cars stated that he was
little afraid to attempt to run only
two cars on the line, as the people of
the city would undoubtedly be dissat-
isfed with the service, and he was de-
sirous of having the entire line ready
for operation before the cars started.
Hence the trolley wires are silent, and
they will probably remain SO until late
in the summer. The new bridge will
not be completed before the first of
next August, and when it is finished
there will still be other things to de-
lay the operation of the road.
Since Mr.. Arnold has been called to
New York to take up the work of MAX
ing the elaborate changes in the
Grand Central station, the managing
of the Kenosha company has practi-
ca11y devo1ved on w. L. Arnold, and
the progress of the work on the line
has practically stopped.
The people of the city are beginning
to get anxious for the line to start OPP
erations, and it is probable that in the
near future the Council will be asked
to take some steps to have at least a
portion of the line placed in opera
ton.

Division Superintendent Lawson of the
North Western Assures Improve
ments for kenOsha.
ARE TO BE MADE THIS SPRING.
Brick Platform Will Be Built. as Will Sheds
for the Protection of Passengers Sub
ways May be Constructed Later

After an avalanche of prayers and
the managers of the Chicago & North
Western railway company have de-
cided to make some improvements at
the Kenosha station during the early
months of the coming spring. The
information that the work is TO be
done comes from no less a parsonage
than Division Superintendent Lawson.
Some time ago when the company dis
covered that their dividends il Wis
consin for the past year amounted to a
little over million dollars, and that
Kenosha had furnished it's full quota
to swell the grand total, the managers
decided that a couple of thousa nd dol
lars should be laid aside to improve
the Kenosha station. No new station
will be built at the present time, but
it is limited that this may come later,
if the dividends keep up. However,
the changes will be of very encourag-
ing nature, and the people of Kenosha
will have to be satisfied with them for
a year or SO at least.
The plans which have now been APP
proved by the superintendent, pro-
vide for the tearing away of the old
wooden platforms at the station, and
the putting IN of new platforms of
paving brick. This platform will be
put in in such a manner as to give it
sufficient slope to carry off the water
and secure for the people perfectly
dry platform at all times. The plans
also provide for the erection of train
sheds on either side OF the tracks so
that the platforms at the station will
be completely under cover.
The plans also include the construc-
ton of subways to the West tracks,
but it is not probable that these sub
ways will be built this year as the
company are too badly in need of
money to spend so much on the Keno
sha station at one time. However, the
Superintendent is in hopes that the
company may see fit to order this work
done before the work starts.
It is stated that the work will be
started on the improvements as soon
as the weather will permit, and it
should be fully completed by the first
of next July. The travelling public Of
Kenosha will be thankful for these
small favors, but the public eye will
be kept open for further Improvements
III the next year or two.

Announcements were sent out today
announcing the marriage of Raymond
L. White and Miss Jessie Miller,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Beck Miller,
which was celebrated at O'Clock
Wednesday evening at the home of the
brides parents on Wisconsin street.
The announcement came as a distinct
surprise to the friends of the well
known young people. The wedding
had been expected for some time, and
indeed it was limited that it was to
take place during the month, but the
young people had not communicated
their plans to any of the members of
their families. At noon Wednesday
Miss Miller announced at the dinner
table that she had planned to be mar
ried in the evening and invited her
family to assist IN the preparations for
the ceremony. No invitations were
sent out and the only people attending
the wedding we're the members of the
families of the contracting parties.
In honor of the event the parlors of
the MIllGI uOu1C WCIG PICllAAJ OCN0A -
ed with flowers and plants. The wed
ding ceremony was performed by the
Rev. H. S. Rob1ee, of the First Con-
gregationa1 church. Miss Miller and
Mr.. White entered the parlor unat-
tended and the bride was given away
by her father. She was gowned in
pretty travelling dress of brown broad
cloth.
After the wedding ceremony was
over a wedding luncheon was served,
after which the bride and groom left
for Chicago on a wedding trip. They
will proba bly, spend two weeks in the
South before returning to Kenosha.
Mr.. and Mrs. White will make their
home on Market street and will be at
home to their friends after March IS.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. White are we'll
known in Kenosha, the groom being
member of the firm of Miller & White
and one of the best known young bust
ness men of the city. The bride is
charming little lady with large circle
of friends who will be pleased to ex-
tend heartiest congratulations on her
happy wedding.

Refuse at the End of English Court Has
Been Burning for Many Months.

Been Burning for Many Months.
Some of the people residing near the
end of English Court are making con-
siderable complaint on account of the
continual burning of the refuse mat
ter that has been dumped on the lake
shore near that point. It is claimed
that the piles of rubbish have been
smoking and burning for several
months and it is feared that during
some storm from the northeast the
smou1dering fires will be famed into a
flame and menace the houses in the
neighborhood. 1t is supposed that the
fires resulted from spontaneous COM
bustion and several times during the
last few weeks the blaze has been dis
covered in these piles.
It is stated that it would be impossi-
bic for the firemen to extinguish the
fire without moving all the old mate
rial, as in many cases the smouldering
flames are many feet from the surface.
The people residing in the neigh
borhood will keep close watch on the
piles and in case of danger the depart
ment will receive a prompt call.

Man Who Disappeared From Kenosna on
January 9Th, Located at Alpha, Ill

E. c. Daily, the contractor who was
employed at Zion City and who disap-
peared from this city on the evening
of January 9th, has been located, as B.
Zech has received a letter from the

valued at several hundred dollars.
Mr. Zech has written to Daily offer

THE FARMER OF THE FUTURE.

Shall the boys stick to the farm, is .
question which nearly every farmer must
ask himself at one time or another. I'm
fortunately it has been too frequently an
swered in the negative, and the boy has
been trained to view farm life as drudgery
and to look upon the gilt and tinsel of the
city as something to be greatly desired.
For generations the best blood Of the
country has been given to the city, and
the farming community deprived Of its
strongest, brainiest boys. The small farm
and limited capital have not offered op-
portunities for the ambitious boy who is
destined to handle large business and
thousands Of dollars annually. But the
great majority Of boys, boys who have
good sense and moderate ambitions, who
would find modern farm as great a 10
their capacity to manage, have also left
the country to seek work in the cities,
where they can earn only meagre salaries
and lay nothing aside for rainy day or
old age.
With the methods which our fathers
and grandfathers pursued, the farm does
not yield fair return of profit for capi-
tai and labor invested. In every other
line of business the most successful men
are not those who follow in the footsteps
of their predecessors and competitors,
but those who blaze new path, who
adopt new and improved methods and
devices, in short, those who make the
greatest use of brains and common
sense. Yet in few lines of business is the
per cent of profit so great as in modern
advanced farming-it is the small profit
on vast output that brings such large
amounts of gain. We're the same energy,
push and brains put into the manage
ment of farm, q good income and COM
Portable living could be obtained. The
successful farmer of the future must
needs be an educated one. The future
farmer will find that the best investment
he can make is to secure good educa-
ton and training in advanced agricult-
ure. New England Homestead.
