THE street railway company's track
has made the Prairie avenue crossing
of the Northwestern railway one of the
danger points of the city. People 60
ing east are so occupied with getting
across the railway tracks in safety
that they often fail to note the ap-
proach of the electric cars which just
at this crossing seem to run at high
er rate of speed than anywhere else
in the city. Several narrow escapes
at this crossing have already been re-
ported and sooner or later the cars are
bound to claim victim unless more
care is exercised

FUMASSA rs RELEASED.
Slayer of Adam Besenius at Santa Maria,
CAL, Will Not Stand Trial

Slayer of Adam Besenius at Santa Maria,
CAL, Will Not Stand Trial,
Joseph Fumassa, who was arrested
at Santa Maria, California, on Septem.
Der 10th on charge of killing Adam
Besenius, former we'll known Ger
man resident of Kenosha, was released
from custody Tuesday at the request of
the district attorney in Santa Maria.
Since his arrest Fumassa had
claimed that he had struck the former
Kenosha man in self defense and the
district attorney, after investigating
the case, decided that the evidence
would not warrant the holding of Flu
massa for trial. On the preliminary
examination of the case afidavits were
presented to show that Besenius had
for some time been distur Der and that
his actions the night of the murder
were directly the cause of the fatal
blow.
The full details of the crime were
never received in Kenosha and many
people believe that Fumassa has been
released simply because there were no
friends of Besenius in Santa Maria to
urge the prosecution.

TWENTY YEARS A PARISH
German Lutherans Prepare for Unique
Celebration at the Church on Nov. g


German Lutherans Prepare for a Unique
Celebration at the Church on Nov. 8
On Sunday, November 9Th, the mem
bers of the German Lutheran church
will celebrate a unique anniversary.
It will be the twentieth anniversary Of
the dedication of the church and it is
expected that many of the former
members of the church will journey to
Kenosha to be present and take part in
the ceremonies arranged for the day.
Several services of solemn nature
will be held during the day and in the
evening there will be reunion of all
the members of the church. Every
man, woman and child that has beer
confirmed during the twenty years
life of the parish will be asked to be
present lat this reunion. The Rev. E.
F. Dornfeld, who was pastor for a
number Of years, will be the speaker
at the reunion.
Five hundred and eighteen mem
bers of the church have been confirmed
during the twenty years and it is ex-
pected that two-thirds of this number
will be present at the celebration. The
celebration will be under the direction
Of the pastor, the Rev. Carl ,Buenger.

THERE is evidently disposition on
the part of some of the aldermen to in
vestigate the city's contract with the
lighting company very thoroughly
with view of breaking it if possible.
Certainly if the city can be forced to
pay any considerable amount for the
kind of service the company has been
giving since the FIRE an investigation
will do no harm. It is highly improb-
able, however, that the most searching
Investigation will reveal any flaws in
the contract which will render it void
and enable the city to get out of it's
bargain with the lighting company.
The men who made that contract knew
when they had good thing and it is
hardly likely that their attorneys left
any loophole for the escape OF the city.

Members of the Mems Club Of the Bap-
list Church Form City Council
and Will Give Pointers.
IMMORTALITY VOTE WAS A TIE.
Council Will Have It's First Work to Deter.
mine the Election of Presiding Of
ficer. Election Causes Interest.

If the interest conferred about the
election ofsthesgnew City Council in
connection with the Mems Club of the
Baptist church is taken as criterion,
the purpose for which this Council is
being organized will certainly be fully
realized.
The movement has aroused interest
from the start, and is being the means
OF arousing much enthusiasm on the
part Of those who think over munich
pal affairs. The Council when organ
lied will not seek in any way to pro-
mote dictatorial spirit, or even I'M
just criticism, but will rather take up
the various considerations which nee
essarily come before City Council,
and in this case those questions of
Importance which come up from time
to time before the official City Council
Of Kenosha, The one main object is,
education and instruction along the
line of civic affairs.
The movement is to be highly com
mended on the part of the community,
as it will tend to promote deeper
thought and attention about the things
which are of great value to our city.
With those men who are to take part
in the enterprise it will mean much,
for who knows but that at some time
one of their number may happen to be
elected upon the official Council of our
city. If such should be the case that
one will find himself we'll equipped
with knowledge as to how to act ia
such body without using up valuable
time in learning the various tactics of
parliamentary law in his official capa-
city.
The election Tuesday night resulted
as follows:
Mayor-W. ]. Frost, Al; F. S. Wenk,
Al; Rev. E. T. Farrill, /.
City Clerk M. S. Moss.
City Treasurer Chas. Parks.
Assessor -Joshua Coshun.

first consideration the problem of
choosing Mayor, which according to
legal procedure will be by lot.

What Colombia Now Wants.

Colombia has at last told us exactly
what she wants for the canal conces-
sion $25, 100000 cash and sovereignty
over the waterway when built.
This information arrived by the hand
Of a diplomatic agent, Senior Archie
gas, who reached Washington a few
days ago. He has the good sense not
to attempt to argue the justice of such
demands; he merely tells us with en-
gaging frankness that Colombia needs
the money to replenish her treasury
after long revolution and that she
will wait until we are willing to pay
her price She will not entertain of
fers from any other power, says the
accredited diplomat, while she is wait
ing for us to come to terms.
( This is very kind on the part Of the
Colombians, but the chances are thet
they will have to wait good while
before these terms are accepted.

ANY one who subscribes to the

Milk Vendors Of the City Win !n-
sist on six Gems a Quart After
Next Satut Jay MORNING..
MAY STOP SUNDAY DELIVERIES.
MILK men Unanimous In the Decision to
Raise the Price OF Lacteal Fluid, Claim
That Farmers Force the Increase.

That determined little body known
as "The Kenosha Milk Dealers Assoc
citation" is working again and at a
meeting held Tuesday night the death
knel1 of cheap milk in Kenosha was
sounded and the customers of the var
ious dealers will after next Saturday
morning be required to pay six
cents for every quart of milk delivered
at their homes. The uniform raise of
a cent quart in the price of milk has
received the universal sanction and if
1t be of interest to the long suffering
public to know that there is no escape
it might be stated that every milk
dealer in the city and vicinity was at
the meeting Tuesday night and every
one of them agreed that the price
should be raised. The dealers claim
that the raise ia the price Of milk has
been made necessary on account of the
fact that the farmers have raised the
price to the dealers and that nearly
every city on the Lake Shore now has
six cent milk. During the winter of
1902 the milk dealers made similar
increase in the price but with the COM
ing of the spring and summer the
price was reduced to five cents. There
seems to be a sentiment that there
will be no decrease in the price next
spring and in the future Kenosha will
follow the lead of Chicago and Mil
waukee and adopt the city manner of
paying six cents for milk the year
round. The fact that the action of the
milk dealers was a unanimous one
makes it almost impossible to break
the combine and the people will have
to grin and bear it.
The dealers Associat ton is also con-
sidering other plans for the lettering
of the business and it has been sug
gested that after the first of December
all Sunday deliveries be eliminated.
This plan has not been fully decided
upon but it will be decided on at the
next meeting and it is most probable
that the Sundays deliveries will be
abandoned. The milk man is forced
to get up with the sun six days in the
week and the dealers are beginning to
think that they should join with other
people in enjoying day Of rest on
Sunday. The plan made some months
ago to protect the dealers against the
ravages of dead beats is working like
charm and the dealers are now losing
little money" from bad accounts. AS
soon as it is discovered that a patron
will not pay milk bills when they are
due the supply is shut off by the
dealer who reports the matter prompt
ly to the association and no other dealer
will deliver milk to the customer un-
til the old bills are PAID,
The milk combine is one Of the
strongest organizations of the kind in
this section of the country and the
people are forced to accept the dictates
of the members without question or

taxes Collected on Inheritanceg.
The state, through the medium of
the county court, is paying back taxes
that have. beer paid in by people of
kenosha county as inheritance tax and
this morning Judge Slosson signed the
order, which will make it possible for
the heirs to'the estate of the late Sara
NJ. Clapp to secure rebate of $271. %
from the state. The estate Of Mary
M. Martin has already secured a SINH
lar order and it is expected that within
the next few weeks all estates that
have been settled in this county will
receive similar orders.
The amount in the state treasury
due to be paid back to people in this
county is little, over nine hundred
dollars and the money will be turned
over to the proper parties as soon as
possible. This rebate of inheritance
tax has been made necessary by the
new inheritance tax law recently
passed by the state legislature.

AS the time of the meeting of Cong
gress draws near interest is being re-
vived in the project to establish a
naval training station on the great
lakes. Secretary Moody is said to be
greatly interested in the proposed sta
ton, and in his estimates an appro-
priation of $25O,0OO for the school is
included. Under certain circumstan
ces II will not be difficult matter to
secure an appropriation for the school
as theneed gof such an institution in
the Central States where the many
thousands'yo recruits for the navy
have been enlisted in recent years is
recognized, but the trouble will com
mence when an attempt is made to Sc
lect the site for the school. The
board of anaval officers appointed to
examine sites failed to make any def
mite recommendations to the depart
ment, and if the choice of location is
left to the navy department there is
little doubt in Washington but that
the school will go to Congressman
Foss's district. If the appropriation
is to 6 Q through, however, some Of the
state delegations will have to be given
a better reason for the location of the
school in Congressman Foss's district
than the fact that he is chairman of
the House Committee on Naval affairs.

UNLESS Congressman Cooper can do
something for us when the River and
Harbor bill is being considered, Keno
sha will receive no appropriation for
the harbor other than the usual sum of
$4,000 for harbor maintenance. An
additional sum OF $25, 700 is needed to
complete the harbor Improvement
work here. The government has al
ready expended large sum in the
construction of harbor of refuge at
this port, but vesselmen say that all
the improvements so far made are
practically useless on account of the
failure of the engineers to extend the
outer breakwater. The extensions
needed to complete the work of max
ing an ideal harbor of refuge here
would cost in the neighborhood of
$25, 900. With the expenditure of this
additional sum, small in comparison
with the amount already spent, all the
work done by the government would
be Immediately effective and answer
the purpose for which it was built. 1t
is true that the lake business in Keno.
sha is falling off, but it would be good
business policy for the government to
expeud enough to make the extensive
improvements here, worth something
to somebody rather than to lose all the
good Of the money already expended
by refusal to extend the breakwaters.

A wedding which was the direct out

which closed courtship carried out
alternately with jabs Of the forceps
and twists of the excruciating foot
drill was celebrated last night at Ke-
nosha. The acknowledgement
whose sight rose superior to the de-
tails of a mouth wide open and filled
with absorbent cotton was DIR. w. G.

who could return protestations of at
tachment though suffering the agony
of toothache was Miss Estella r.

One day last spring Miss Standish
sought out the dentist to afford her re-
lief for an aching tooth. Miss Stand
ish was asked to ''take the chair
DR.. Lyons took up his little metal
mirror, polished it carefully and be-
gan mechanically "Open the mouth a
little wider, please" when he stopped
short. He became aware that pretty
girl was in the chair and felt that his
lines had fallen in pleasant places.
The dentist is young man but not
lacking in wisdom for he laid down the
mirror on the swinging tray at his
right hand and looked gravely at Miss
Standish.
"The tooth will need great deal of
treatment he said.
Miss Standish received this usually
unwelcome announcement with less
discomfort than patients usually dis
played and as the conversation be.
came more general even with com
posture.
The treatment of the tooth was con-
cluded two weeks ago. The next day
the doctor called at the residence Of
Miss Standish and asked Mrs. Stand
ish for her daughters hand. Miss
Standish was present at the interview
and made it plain to her mother that
she loved DR.. Lyons and intended to
marry him and Mrs. Standish consent
