Only Two Weeks More For The Grand
Opera Singers Great Success.

Only Two Weeks More For The Grand
Opera Singers Great Success.
There is little time left for music
lovers to enjoy the delightful season
of grand opera in English. presented
by the admirable Castle Square Opera
company at the Studebaker theatre,
Chicago. But two weeks of the en-
gagement remain and the grand opera
singers will fly away on January Oath,
leaving the Studebaker stage to be
occupied on January 10th by Peggy
From Paris,' George AIDES new
musical comedy. for which William
Lorraine, composer of "Salome'' and
Ramona" has written the music, and
which Henry W. Savage will produce
on an elaborate scale. Next week the
Castle Square Opera company will
devote itself to a grand revival of
Gilbert and Su11ivan's "The Mikado,"
which is to be put on in the same
magnificent style that characterizes
Mr.. Savage's productions. Ia present.
Ing this popular opera, Mr.. Savage
is following the custom Of other grand
opera organizations by diverting for a
week from the heavier operas in his
standard repertory, and one of the
features of the event will be the novel
ty Of seeing grand opera singers do
the rich comedy of "Mikado."
For the closing week Of the engage
ment, beginning January 10Th two
operas will be given. Martha will
be sung on Monday, Thursday and
Saturday nights, and at the Saturday
matinee, while the bill for Tuesday,
Wednesday and Friday nights and
Wednesday matinee will be ''Lohen-
grin"
The Castle Square singers have had
great success this week with their
picturesque revival Of 1.-THE Lily Of
Killarney"
The lively music of Sir Julius
Benedict seems TO have caught the
public, and large crowds al the Stude-
baker have been the result.

EpIGRAMs from the Presidents
speech at the dedication of the Car
negie Library at Washington:
IA man who insists upon being car
ried is not worth carrying
"True benevolence is to create OPP
pOrtunities and provide tools for those
who need them"
Misplaced charity is one of the
worst of evils. Multitudes of men
have been injured and many have been
ruined by kindness
Free schools are the basis of our
educational system, but the great ma
jority of our people must still educate
themselves"
"In founding libraries for the bene-
st of those who wish to educate them
selves Mr.. Carnegie has wisely adopted
a middle course between our two prime
vices-hardness of heart and softness
of head"

kenOsha Gas and Electric Compan,
viii Furnish the Power for the
Electric Railway.
CAR BARNS GET A LOCATION.
Committee of the Council Decides to Lo.
cate the Car Barns on Elizabeth Street
Near the End of the Line.

The last move ia connection with
the operation of the Kenosha Electric
Railway has been made and yesterday
Mr.. Arnold closed contract with the
Kenosha Gas and Electric company to
supply the power for the operation OF
the line.
The company will install its own
dynamo at the pla1t of the Electric
Light company and the steam power
for its operation will be purchased.
There was quite a little rivalry be-
tween Kenosha manufacturing COM
panies to furnish the power for the
operation of the dynamos of the com
pany and power was offered by the
Chicago Rockford Hosiery company
and by the Simmons Manufacturing
company. All of these firms have
ample power to spare TO run the cars.
The final selection was in favor of
the Gas and Electric company on
account of the fact that the power will
have to be trans mitted but short
distance to reach the trolley wires of
he company. It is understood tina,
the present arrangement is only
temporary one and early in the spring
the railway company will erect
power house of it's own or else make
arrangements to secure power by trans
mission from Waukegan.
During his visit to Kenosha Wed
nesday President Arnold met the mem
bers of the committee of Streets and
Alleys, to whom was referred his re-
quest for the erection of car barn on
Milwaukee avenue. The committe de-
clined to grant this request, but ar
engagements were made to have the
car barns erected at the southern limits
of the city on Elizabeth street. This
location is entirely satisfactory to Mr..
Arnold and spur track can be run to
the barns with little trouble to the
company. These temporary barns
will go up at once and they will be
ready for use by the middle of this
month. They will be simply frame
sheds capable of protecting the cars
from the weather.
It is probable that only two cars will
be placed on the Kenosha line at the
outset and very small barn will be
needed. notwithstanding the blizzard
that has prevailed for the past two
days the work on the tracks of the
company has never stopped and the
Main street curve will probably be
completed this evening. The cross
ings will then remain to be put in and
the superintendent of construction
states that these will be put in by the
first of the month. The workmen are
meeting all sorts of difficulties and the
company is being forced to expend
large sums of money in order to live
up to the contract with the city, but
Mr.. Arnold now feels assured that the
cars will start on scheduled time.

Well Known Railway Mail Clerk Re-
mOvedfrom Office Alter Seventeen
Years of Service.
LEAVES CLEAN RECORD BEHIND.
No Cause is Assigned but it is Said That
Trouble With Superior OfRcer-
Arthur Gaines Fills Vacancy,

Z. 5. Anderson, for the past seven
teen years railway post office clerk on
the Rockford division of the North
Western road has severed his connec-
tion with the post office department.
aud Postmaster Frantz received notice
Thursday that he had been removed
from the service. Mr.. Anderson stat
ed to his friends that he had resigned
his position and "a the notice Of his
removal no reason is assigned for the
action. It is limited however. that dur
ing he past few months strained re-
lations have existed between Mr..
Anderson ard some of the superior
officers and that these relations were
the cause of his leaving the service.
Mail Clerk Anderson was one of the
traditions of the Rockford division.
and while he is not in any way an old
man, he had been connected with the
run between this city and Rockford
for so many years that he had become
known as a fixture. Although a
Democrat Mr.. Anderson came under
the civil service regulations and he
had held his position through many
changes of administration. It is
stated that politics was in a measure
connected with his removal from Office.
POSTMASTER Frantz, in speaking of
the matter Thursday evening, said:
There is absolutely no charge against
Mr.. Anderson and his record has al
ways been clean one. < He was one of
the most competent men in the service
IN this section and has always stood
high in The civil service examina-
tions."
For some time Mr.. Anderson had
been closely connected with the exam
ming board of the civil service in Ke-
nosha and he was general favorite
with the employees of the Post Office.
He usually conducted the examina-
tons here in Kenosha and he was
known to nearly every applicant for
positions in the Post Office on account
of his duties in this department. It is
claimed that he was known to every
man who had anything to do with the
mail service between Kenosha and
Rockford.
Mr.. Anderson has gone to Chicago
and it is not known what branch of
business he will take up. He is the
part owner of some very valuable de-
posits of photographic stone near Han
nibal, Mo-, and it is possible that he
will give most of his time to developing
these quarries.
The retirement of Mr.. Anderson has
caused universal regret in this city
and it will come as great surprise to
his associates in the postal service.
Arthur B. Gaines, of Bristol, son
of the late C. B. Gaines, has been ap-
pointed a substitute to take charge of
the duties of the position vacated by
Mr.. Anderson until such time as the
government shall appoint new man
for the run. Mr.. Gaines has passed
the civil service examinations with
honor and he is the substitute for Mr.,
Anderson at the present time.

New Baptist Church VIII be Opened First
Sunday in February.
The members of the Baptist church
are making elaborate arrangements
for the opening service in the new
church which will be held on Febru
airy End. The new temple of worship
is all but completed and it will be in
readiness by the date set for the dedi-
cation. The services of the dedica.
ton will be of an imposing nature
and it is expected that many well
known members of the church will be
here from all parts of the state to at
tend the dedicatory services. The
program for the dedication has not as
yet been made public but it will be
given out some time next week.
The church will be one of the pretti-
est ones ever opened in Kenosha and
it will be dedicated with nearly every
cent of the Indebtedness paid. Since
the fire of year ago the members of
the church have worked faithfully to
secure the funds needed for the new
building and their efforts have been
rewarded with ample success.

LET HIM OFF EASY.
Fred LichtentelIer Gets Year in Green
Bay for Wife Desertion.

Fred LichtentelIer Gets Year in Green
Bay for Wife Desertion.
Fred Lichtenteller will spend year
in the state reformatory at Green Bay
as punishment for the crime of wife
desertion. This penalty was imposed
upon him Wednesday afternoon by
Judge Slosson in the County court.
The fact that Lichtente1ler had been
twice arrested on the same charge led
the District Attorney to ask for a
prison term for the man. Mrs. Lich-
tenteller was in court and declared
that her husband had taken all the
money she had and gone away with
the avowed purpose of buying food.
This was the last seen of him by the
wife until after he had been arrested.
These appeals failed to touch the
judge as he was unwilling to deprive
the man of his citizenship by sending
him to the state prison. 1t is proba BILE
that Lichtentel1er will be forced to
spend several weeks in the county Jail
as the reformatory at Green Bay is al
ready pretty well filled up and persons
recently sentenced to the institution
have been refused admission. The
Green Bay reformatory seems to be a
popular place for the punishment of
criminals and every county in the state
is sending men there.

Mr.. ARNOLD can not complain of
the way he has been treated by the
city fathers since he assumed the
Presidency of the Street Railway corn
pauy. No obstacles have been placed
In his way by any of the aldermen and
a general disposition has been mani
tested to make his task as easy as pos
sible for him. On his part Mr.. Arnold
has made every effort to get the road
in operation at the earliest possible
moment, and unless something unfore-
seen occurs the lire will be running
by the time specified in the franchise.
There have been many annoying de-
lays caused by the inability of the con-
tractors to furnish material, and the
difficulties of the construction depart
ment of the company have been enor-
mously increased by these delays, but
satisfactory progress is now being
made ard there is every reason to be.
lieve that the long fight over street
railway in Kenosha is nearly ended.

HE sooner heclty gets poor farm
and puts ali the people on 1t who are
now receiving assistance from the city
the sooner the expenses will be cut
down and that is what the taxpayers
are looking for. The first expense is
heavy one, but under proper manage
ment the farm will pay for itself in a
few years. The city is in poor shape
financially to start in on any new
enterprises but something must be
done at once to improve the conditions
under which the dependent poor are
fed and lodged, and the experience OF
other cities shows that they can be
taken care of on poor farm better
and cheaper than anywhere else. Any
money spent on the old poor house
would be money thrown away. New
quarters must be provided at once for
the present conditions are a disgrace
to any community that pretends to
call itself civilized and Kenosha has
no desire to have the unenviab1e dis
tinction of keeping the worst poor
house in the state any longer than
necessary. The decision to set aside a
part of the present tax levy for the
purchase of poor farm when the city
has not money enough to go through
the year without borrowing has been
rather free1yt criticised in some quar-
ters, but we believe that time will
show that it was the wisest thing to do
under the circumstances.

Notices were today posted in the
barns of the Milwaukee Electric
Railway & Light company to the effect
that the wages of the motormen and
conductors of the system had, begin
ming Jan. /, been increased one cent
per hour. This scale will range from
10 TO D cents per hour according to the
number of years of service with the
company. This increase in the aggre-
gate will amount to $40, 900 per year.
Last summer the employees received
similar raise in their pay and the
company's repetition of the advance
is appreciated by the employees. At
least fifty of the employees in Racine

the news will be most gratifying.

Third, the creation of commission

Fourth, provision for the expedition

The most effective part OF the plan,
and the one provision that could be
most easily enforced is the regulation
prohibiting interstate commerce en-.
tirely in products manufactured by IL
legal com binations. Convictions for
determinations in rates are few and
far between, and while the creation of
another commission would be opposed
by some of the Congressman VINO be-
lieve that the government by commits
sion idea has been carried far enough,
and who think that matters which
would fall within the province Of the
commission could be better handled IL
the federal courts, the plan as a
whole is favorably regarded by those
who still believe that the law of the
land can be made strong enough to
reach even the combinations.
