She stopped. she was hollow chested and

For awhile it must be confessed that
there was very little result beyond that

the results began to be visible.
The girl who was . little too stout be-
gan to loss her flesh. and to grow more
supple in her arms and better along her

As for the tall. thin girl, she was DOS

Her shoulders broadened and were still |
growing broader with each drum beat,
while her arms Erew rounded and her |

New Badger Telephone Company Or
ganized at GAINESVILLE to Build
an Independent Line.
TOLL SERVICE TO THE NORTHWEST.
Company Enters Field as an Independent
Fish President of the Company.

kenosha is 60 have not only an in
dependent telephone line within the
limits of the city but early in the COM
ing summer the city will also be con-
nected with Racine, Milwaukee and
other cities in the state by an indie
pendent line which will be built by the
Badger Telephone company which
was organized at GAINESVILLE yesterday
and of which Judge Frank N. Fish for
merly Judge of this circuit is to be the
president and general manager. The
company is the successor of the Badger
Telephone and Telegraph company
and it bought up all the stock of the
former company to prevent it being
sold under a mortgage. The lines
controlled by the company are all in
dependent lines and extend all over
the Southern part of Wisconsin. They
are now built to GAINESVILLE, Stoughton,
Beloit and other cities and they con-
meet with the independent lines of
phones reaching Minneapolis and
Duluth. The plan is to extend the
lines from GAINESVILLE to Racine at once
and as soon as possible to extend
North and South from Racine to Mil
waukee and Kenosha. In controlling
all these independent lines the COM
pany expects within another year to
have series of toll lines which will be
able to compete with the lines of the
Wisconsin and Chicago companies.
The ultimate plan is to extend the lines
as far South as Chicago and at this
point connections will be made with
other independent lines extending
toward the Eastern part of the
country.
With the reorganization of the
company many men have been brought
into the directorate who have great
financial resources and it is not
thought possible for the company to
be brought into financial difficulties
again.
There is no doubt but that the Ke-
nosha Citizens Telegraph and Tele-
phone company which is now seeking
franchise from the city council for
an independent exchange here in Ke-
nosha, will cooperate with the Badger
company in making this connection OF
all the independent companies in the
Northwest, and it is very probable
that the Bristol company will also be
asked to add lines to the general COM
petitive system.
The lines of the independent com
pany which are now of iron wire will
be replaced with copper circuits and
the iron circuits will be left on the
poles in order to offer relief in case the
copper circuit becomes disabled.
The entire system will be recon
structed at once and it is claimed that
the new work will be started before the
beginning of summer.
The people of the city will welcome
the coming of an independent system
with open arms.

Water Commissioners Decide to Add
to the Equipment of the Water
Works by Erecting Stand Pipe.
WILL FURNISH EVEN PRESSURE.
stand pipe which Will Cost Some Fifteen
t and Dollars to be Erected In the
ar Future.-Debts to be Paid.

The Board of Water Commissioners
met in regular session at the City Hall
Tuesday evening and today it is an
nounced that the Board has decided to
greatly improve the equipment of the
Kenosha water works by the building
of stand pipe. AT the time the plan
for the water works was made it in
cluded the building of stand pipe,
but the financial affairs of the COM
pany have never been in such condi-
ton as to warrant the erection of this
portion of the equipment.
1t is now found that by the first of
next May the water commissioners
will be able to pay off all the debts con-
tracted in the installing of the new
pump and making sthe extensions de-
manded for the pump, and the engi-
neer has been ordered to prepare plans
for the immediate erection of the stand
pipe. The stand pipe with the lot on
which it is placed will cost the COM
pany between fifteen and twenty
thousand dollars but when it is erected
the Kenosha water system will be the
| best in this section of the State.
The new stand pipe when erected
will not only greatly improve the sys-
tenn, but it will diminish by large
measure the expense of running the
plant. The stand pipe will make it
possible for the water company to fur
nish uniform pressure IN the mains
at all times regardless of the amount
of water that is being used by the GUS
| toners about the city.
THE stand pipe will prove great
saver for the city for at any time when
there is no increased demand for water
it will be possible for the engineer to
pump the stand pipe full of water and
then the fires can be banked for the
night and the pressure in the stand
pipe will be sufficient to supply the
water needed until the morning hours.
In this way hundreds of tons of coal
will be saved annually by the company
and the stand pipe will more than pay
| for itself in a few years of service.
The site for the stand pipe has not as
yet been selected but it will probably
be on the south side of the city some
where near the river.
The money for the erection of the
stand pipe is not now in the hands of
the commission but the water company
is proving such paying investment
for the city that the money will prob
ably be on hand before the addition to
the equipment of the plant is made.
The commissioners will, by the first
of next May have paid out more than
twenty-five thousand dollars for the
Installation of the new pump and the
repairs that were made necessary IN
installing it. This money has all been
raised by the Legitimate profits of the
company and the city has been asked
to make no appropriation for this pur-
pose.

THE WOMAN's CLUB.
Miss Bessie Hurd Reads an Interesting His
toricaI Paper.

The Kenosha Woman's club met in
regular fortnight1y session at the Gil.
bert M. Simmons library on Wednes.
day afternoon and the meeting proved
to be one of the most highly enjoy al bic
ones ever held by the club.
The essayist for the afternoon was
Miss Bessie Hurd, who read an inter.
esting paper on civilian and Mary
In the hands of Miss Hurd this period
Of English history was discussed in a
most clever manner, bringing out the
principal features of the one dual
reign in the history of the English
crown. Miss Hurd had spent large
amount of time in the prepare ton OF
the paper and some of the points
brought out from this original re.
search put new light on the reign
of King William and Queen Mary.
The discussion which followed the
paper was led by Mrs. F. Fl. Black
man, Mrs. James Cavanagh, Mrs. o.
S. Newell, Mrs. CLARK Hollister, Mrs.
r. E.. Wilkinson and Mrs. F. =. Gott-
fredsen taking part. AT the close of
the discussion the usual cup of tea was
served and the ladies spent a pleasant
social hour.

Assemblyman SIade Presents Petition
of County Board to The Assembly
at Madison.
NO ACTION IS PROMISED VOW.
Petition Finds It's way to the Pigeon Hole
and will Await the Pleasure of
the Administration Party.

The State Legislature of Wisconsin
is now fully .apprised of the wishes of
Kenosha county in regard to tax re-
form, for at the session Of the Assem-
bly, Wednesday afternoon Assembly
man Slade of this county presented to
the Assembly the petition sent up by
the members of the Kenosha County
Board demanding a reduction of the
one mill tax.
In presenting the petition Assembly
man S1ade made a short speech, in
which he spoke of the unfairness of
the tax law under its present working
to the Southern counties of the State,
and urging the immediate repeal of
the law, and the passage of some other
bill which would in measure relieve
the burden and place the taxes of the
counties where the money was being
expended.
The petition was duly received by
the Legislature and referred to the
committee on taxation. Here it will
probably be pigeon-ho1ed until the
latter part of the session, when it will
be brought out, and if it comedies with
the views of the majority of the mem
bers of the committee it will be brought
before the Assembly for action.
In the meantime, following the lead
of the Kenosha County solons, Assem-
blyman Thompson has brought before
the Assembly bill to repeal the law
now in existence providing for the
raising of school money, and to pass a
new law which will be fair to all sec
tons of the State. This bill will un-
doubtedly receive the undivided sup
port of the representatives of the
Southern counties of the State.
The action of the Kenosha County
Boardin sending petition to theLegis-
lature demanding a change in the law,
has had a good effect, and the action
has been generously commented upon
by the leading Republican papers of
the State. At the same time some &C
ton is being taken by other County
Boards about the State, and before the
Legislature takes any action on the
bills now pending the capital will be
flooded with these petitions demanding
relief from this unequal burden.
The administration followers are
silent IN regard to the possible action
of the Legislature on the repeal of
these bills, and as yet they have given
out no statement in regard to what
will be done.
During the last campaign Governor
LaFollette made vigorous defense of
the one mill tax, and from the enthu-
siasm with which he took up the sub.
ject it is evident that this law is one of
the favorites of the Governor, and he
will be slow to permit the Assembly
which is completely under his control,
to take any action leading to the re-
peal of an act which he has so distict
~ favored.

TRAMPs THRoNG THE CITY.
Seven Hobos Seek Lodging and Breakfast
at Tramp House and More Coming.

Seven HobOs Seek Lodging and Breakfast
at Tramp House and More Coming.
The army of tramps which formerly
made their headquarters in Kenosha
seems to be returning to the city, and
Wednesday night seven of the worst
looking knights of the roads seen in
Kenosha in many day applied at the
county Jail for shelter. They were
housed in the tramp room, filling the
room to its capacity. The increase in
the number of tramps about the city in
the past few days has been so great
that even the Sheriff is beginning to
complain. They are coming to the
county Jail at the rate Of thirty or forty
month and it is time that something
was done to drive them from the city.
The police seem to be powerless, as
the men can only be taken to the linn
its of the city and they return as soon
as the officers back is turned.
The demand for men in the Kenosha
factories is so great that there is no
necessity for any man who is willing
to work to be tramping. The people
of the city should absolutely refuse to
feed these tramps and in few days
the city will be rid of them as if by
magic. Kenosha has the reputation Of
being city friendly to the Migrants
and for this reason they come here in
great numbers.
