CHICAGO oLYMPiAN GAMES.
Planning for the Great International
Celebration In 1904.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-The states of the
United States, President Roosevelt and
government officials will cooperate
and participate in the production of
the International Olympian games of
1904. All foreign countries will be rep
resented. France has promised to send
its army cadets and has asked for the
games in 1908. This much is indicat-
ed in letters from governments of four
teen states and commanders of nation
al guards throughout the country, in
reply to invitations sent out ten days
ago from the general offices in this
city, and from cables just received
from Paris and Berlin. The following
extract shows the attitude of the ma
tiopal executive toward the games:
"Gentlemen-I earnestly wish you
success in your undertaking While
regret the United States cannot Off
cially take charge of or be responsible
for the games, will do all in my pow
er to contribute to their success and 1t
will give me pleasure to open them and
to send to them bodies Of United States
troops and United States sailors to
take part in the contests, In which rep
resentatlves of the armies and navies
of all nations are expected to enter. l
hope these exercises will include feats
of horsemanship and craftsmanship,
as well rs tests of endurance and
strength under service conditions.
with good wishes for your success.
l am faithfully yours.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Letters giving assurance Of hearty
cooperation were received from the
chief executives of fourteen states, in
Guiding Cows. Well of Utah. Orman of
Colorado, Richards Of Wyoming, and
Otero of New Mexico.

fused to stand by the action Of the SUI

both were given their former positions

GRAND RAPIDS TO RETURN.
Barry Boat Will Be Placed on the Kenosha
Chicago Run in the Near Future.

Captain John Barry, of the Barry
Transportation company, has an
nounced that the ''City of Grand
Rapids" the steamer which formerly
piled between Kenosha and Chicago,
will be put back on the run within a
few days. Solicitors for the Barry
company will come to Kenosha next
week and start to secure business for
the line and if any business can be Sc
cured the boat will be put on the run
at once.
When the boat returns to Kenosha
there is no doubt but that she will be
under the direction of the Barry COM
pany and it is probable that E. A.
Taylor, who was formerly manager
for the Barry company in Kenosha will
return to take charge of the business
of the company. Mr.. Ben Cameron,
who has been in charge of the COM
pany here for the past few weeks, has
declined to continue in the employ of
the Barry company in Kenosha.
There is little doubt but that the
line will prove paying investment if
it is properly operated. Several of the
factories did large business with the
line during the summer and fall but
after the reported sale of the line this
business was practically lost. If there
is thoroughly responsible company
behind the manager of the line it is
sure to secure a large amount of
freight business from Kenosha and a
similar amount from Waukegan.
It is expected that the steamer which
is now being overhauled will come to
Kenosha next week TO make trial
trip.

Bitter Contest in Pleasant Prairie
Comes to Sudden Termination
in the County Court.
APPEAL WAS FILED TOO LATE
The County Judge Will be Forced to Up
Supervisors Against Henry Rohl1ng.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

The Pleasant Prairie road case,
which threatened to involve many OF
the leading farmers of the town of
Pleasant Prairie in a relentless war,
came to a sudden termination IN the
County Court Wednesday afternoon,
when Peter Fisher, who appeared as
an attorney for the members of the
Town Board, moved that the appeal to
the court be dismissed on the ground
that it had not been filed IN the time
allowed by the law relating to such
matters. The point raised was bitter
ly contested by Attorney Mcdowell,
who appeared for Henry Rohlhng,
who is demanding the laying of the
road, and the Judge decided to take
the matter under Amusement until he
could look up the authorities on the
matter.
The attorneys representing both
parties in the case admit that Mr..
Rohlfng has lost his fight by tech
nicalitY, and he will have to wait an
other year before the matter can be
taken up again. At the time the petit
ton for the building of the road was
presented to the Town Board it was
considered and the Board adjourned
for ten days, but the Clerk failed to
make any mention in his minutes of
the adjournment of the Board and
when the matter was again taken up
and denied the time for the fling of
the appeal had been extended ten days.
But the failure of the Clerk to note the
adjournment so reduced the time for
the fling of the appeal that Mr.. Rohl-
fng, who desires the road, was ten
days late. The fight for and against
the road is proving to be bitter one
among the farmers of the neighbor-
hood and there is little doubt but that
the road fight will be brought up again
as soon as the year is past by the fl
ing of new petition.
The farmers interested in the laying
out of the road claim that it will be a
benefit only to Justice Rohlfng, and
that they will never consent to give
up portions of their property in order
to allow road being built into Mr..
Roh1fing's farm.
