WITH Senator Quarles on the Senate
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds and therefore in what might
be calledsan eligible central position
TO do the most effective work for Ke-
nosha, and Congressman Cooper, one
of the acknowledged leaders of the
House, to push the bill there, the city's
chances to receive an appropriate
for new post Office building could not
be improved upon. There is some
talk in Washington of deferring action
on all public building bills until 1905
but it is hardly possible that the lead
ers will succeed in inducing all the
members who have bills before Con-
gress to agree to any such postpone
ment, and if any of the public building
bills are considered Kenosha's is
bound to be. One thing is certain and
that is that if the government does
not erect building of its own in Ke-
nosha the post Office will have to be
moved to more commodious quarters
anyway. The business of the depart
ment has grown so in the last few
years that it is simply impossible to
handle It properly in the present 1oca-
ton. The postmaster and his assist
ants have made a remarkable record
considering the tremendous handicap
they have been Rworking under but
they have about reached the limit,
The conditions under (which they
work must be improved or the work
cannot be kept up to the standard re-
quired by the department much longer,

Players in the State.
TO MEET WAUkEGAN
KENO

AT the regular monthly meeting Of
the Independent Bowling club held at
the Maple House Tuesday night a
sweeping challenge to nine pin players
of the state was issued. In the chal-
lenge the club not only claims the
state championship, but it offers to de-
fend its claims against all Corners in
the bowling line. In order to be more
specific the secretary was instructed to
issue defy to the state teams offering
to meet any team in the state for a
purse of one hundred dollars or any
part of this amount.
The challenge is especially directed
to the teams of nine pin players in
Racine and Milwaukee and it is ex-
pected that some of the teams in these
cities will accept the challenge and a
series of games will be arranged for
within the next few days. The chal-
longing team is composed of Hans
Harbert, captain; Peter Schmitt, John
f. Schmitt, Barney Hermann, Adolph
Burg, Julius Pabst, John Rosing, Fer.

OVERCOME BY GAS,
Misses Jessie House and Mona Hon.
sam Narrowly Escape Death
by Fumes Of Coal Gas.
WERE DISCOVERED lust IN TIME.

Miss Jessie House, residing at AKA
Grand avenue, and Miss. Mona Hou.
sam, residing at 800 Park street. had a
narrow escape from being overcome
and killed by the fumes of coal gas at
the home of Miss Housam Tuesday
night. Luckily the mother of Miss
Housam discovered the young women
in time to save their lives: but they
have been very i'll during the day.
Miss House had gone to the home of
Miss Housam to spend the night, and
after the young ladies had retired for
the night one of the bolts in big base
burner stove broke from its fasten-
ings allowing the door of the stove to
remain open through the. night. The
gas poured into the sleeping room of
the young women and by morning
they were dazed by the gas.
Early in the morning Mrs. Housam
went into the living room of the hat
and noted the cdor of escaping gas.
She at once went TO the room occupied
by the girls and after the door had
been opened she found the room was
completely filled with the gas. The
occupants seemed to be in deep sleep
out after the doors were opened and
air admitted to the room they recov-
cred consciousness. Both were seized
with spell of nausea, sand they suf-
fered from it most of the day. This
afternoon the young ladies are report
ed much improved.
The escape of Misses House and
Housam was very narrow one, and
had they remained in thestgas filled
room for another hour they might have
lost their lives.

OFFER CHEAP RICHES.
Milwaukee "Green Goods" Company
Floods Kenosha With Offers Of
Sudden Riches.
$4,000 A MONTH IS THE PLAN

It may be true that sucker is born
every minute but ''green goods"
concern operating from Milwaukee is
evidently of the opinion that the min
utes work over time in Kenosha for the
city has been flooded with wealth of
letters from the Milwaukee company
making offers to the people Of the city
Of riches sufficient to dazzle million
aires.
The letters have been sent without
discrimination and every one from
Mayor Pfennig down to the man who
works on the street has been favored
with this chance. It is the same old
story of the government making too
much money but it is worked up on a
new scheme. Before the man who is
to be the victim can share in the profits
he must go to Milwaukee and meet the
managers of the company in person
and there make his bid for the sgold
bricks" The manager of the com.
pany assures the prospective purchaser
that the business is just as legitimate
as AAOSl OASAACSSCS 4u tA1AS NOAAl1 duO
adds to the charm by stating that DUR
ing the month Of October many men
who accepted the offer of the company
made from $4,000 to 100000.
It is hardly possible that any of the
people of the city receiving the letters
will be fools enough to make an effort
to invest in the concern for there is
certainty that the lambs are being
feeced in several parts of the state.
Several of the letters have been turned
over to the postoffice officials and they
will be sent to Washington and an ex-
animation into the workings of the
concern will be made. 1t has been
several years since Kenosha people
were caught in the web and the sharp
ers evidently thought it was time for
them to get little easy money.

Plans Being Made for a Connection Of
the Chicago and Milwaukee With
New Electric Line.
CARRIES OUT cLARk's PLAN.
Connection of the Two Lines Would Form
an Easy Solution OF the Question of
Inter-Urban Traffic.

Chicago and Kenosha have been
drawn a little closer together by the
report sent out from Waukegan that
plans are being made for union Of
the interests Of the Chicago, Kenosha
and Milwaukee Electric Railway com
pany with those Of the Chicago and
Milwaukee company.
The line of the latter company is
now built as far north as Waukegan,
and it is the plan of the former com
pany to build between Waukegan and
Kenosha during the coming spring
and summer. For years it has been
tacitly understood that the lines would
at some time pass under one manage
ment, but the first move has been
taken to cement the bonds between the
two companies.
The terms of the agreement are not
known, but before rail is laid on the
line between Waukegan and Kenosha
the company will have full traffic
agreement with the line from the south
by which the passengers carried by
one line can be transferred to the other
line. Some Of the people who have
taken great deal of interest in the
building of the new line to the south,
have gone so far as to declare that the
directors of the Chicago and Milwau-
kee line are putting up the money that
is being used for the promotion to the
northward, but this is denied by the
active promoters Of the Chicago and
Kenosha line.
It is known that the plan for the
consolidation of the business Of the
two lines was put in motion by the
late Alexander Clark and before the
death Of Mr.. Clark he had many meet
ings with the directors of the line now
in operation to arrange the details for
such merger. The plans for the con-
nection of the line seem to indicate
that the work on the line between Ke-
uosha and Waukegan will be pushed
to completion early next season and
the managers of the Chicago and Ke-
nosha road are taking every opportun-
ity of mild.weather to push the work
this fall. Thel grading has already
been started and the entire right of
way Of thescompany will be fenced in
in another week. The work of secur-
ing materials is said to have been
started and the materials for the line
will be placed along the right of way
during theswinter.
The Chicago and Milwaukee com
pany has made all arrangements for
the connection of the line to the south
Of Waukegan and should there be
trouble in getting the new line
through Waukegan the lines will be
merged at the present northern juno
tion of the line in Waukegan.

GETTING A GREAT TEAM.
Jack Ole and Murphy of the-Racine Team
to Play With Kenosha Next Season.

Jack Ole and Murphy of the.Racine Team
to Play With Kenosha Next Season.
Manager Peter Breen of the Keno
sha base ball team is getting a great
team in line for next season, and the
men now signed assure that Kenosha
will have the strongest team of the
west outside the bigsleagues, and it
will be hard proposition for any of
the leaders ia the base ball game.
Tuesday Manager Breen signed Jack
Ollie, the famous heavy hitting first
baseman of the Racine team. Ollie is
the pride of Racine, and the signing of
him with the Kenosha team will make
a great hole in the invincible infeld of
the Racine aggregation. He is the
heaviest hitter outside the big leagues
in Wisconsin. Murphy, the star fielder
of the Racine team, also signed a Ke-
nosha contract Tuesday. Other men
who have been signed are Horn, Ebert
and of course Pete Herman. Manager
Breen had conference with J. Parker
the well known Chicago pitcher Tues
day, and he will probably be signed in
a few days. There is no doubt but
that the new team will be the strong
est that ever donned a Kenosha uni
form.
The full line up of the team will be
ready within the next month, and prac-
tice will begin in the early spring.

JUsT at present there seems to be
disposition in certain quarters to make
the choice of water commissioner to
fill the existing vacancy on the board
a matter of party politics. lJThis is
serious mistake. The water company
should be kept out of politics and the
man to fill the vacancy should be Sc
lected for his business ability and not
on account of his party affiliations
without regard to his other quali6ca-
tons for the position. =. There sare
plenty of good men in either party
to select from bat in making Ia choice
politics should have no weight. The
ore thing that has made the municipal
water company a success is the fact
that it has always done business on
strict business principles and political
pail has had no influence in the man
agement of the company. The COM
pany has dealt with its patrons precise
~ as a private concern would deal
with them. sThis is as it should be
and the politicians had better keep
hands off, The best man that can be
induced to serve should be selected
and the men who want to make his Sc
lection a matter of party politics
should be promptly squelched.
