Great Man Dies

The Columbus Commercial pays
this deserved tribute to the late Hon.
Pete Turney of Tennessee: Zone by
one the heroes of the war are being
laid to rest, and now we are called
upon to mourn the loss of another
great commander, Ex-Governor Peter
TurDey, of Tennessee, who died at
his home near Winchester in that state
last Monday. Governor Turney was
an ideal specimen of the unrecon-
structed rebel, being pronounced in
his views regarding the south. He
was however a man whose splendid
mental equipment fitted him to be a
leader among men, and he at various
times occupied several positions of
trust and honor in that state Of his
nativity, having served his state as
United States senator, as chief JUS
tice of the supreme court. and finally
as governor.

Pleasant Prairie and Kenosha Tele-
phone Companies Ready to Accept
Alliance with Old Lines.
BRISTOL HOLDS OFF FOR TERMS
January is the Date Set for the Final
nosha Telephone Company.

The lines have been drawn close in
the telephone fight in Kenosha and
there is decided leaning in favor of
a union between the Independent lines
and the Wisconsin Telephone Com
pany. For the time being the Citizens
Company seems to have dropped out
of the race and the thing that is now
preventing union of the lines is the
delay of the managers of the
Bristol Company to sign con-
tract with the Wisconsin Company.
The Pleasant Prairie Company has de-
cided on union with the Bell people
and the Kenosha Telephone Company
at meeting of the directors decided
that the line should be sold to any
company which purchased the right Of
the Bristol and Pleasant Prairie line
at price Of 5000. The directors of
the last named company have decided
to force action on the other compa MES
and they have left the offer for sale
open to the companies only until jan
uary 4th. 1t is understood that the en-
tire deal hangs on the change of in
struments on the Bristol line. The
Wisconsin Company has offered
the Bristol and Pleasant Prairie Com
pany free toll to Kenosha and Burliug-
ton but the managers of the company
have insisted that the transmitters
now in use on the Bristol line be
changed into the regulation Bell trans
mitter. This seems to be opposed by
the managers of the Bristol Company
although no reason has been advanced
by them for the opposition. The in
struments offered are said to be far
superior to the job lot now in use but
the Bristol people hesitate to order the
big change. The Wisconsin Company
has agreed to install all of these in
struments without any cost to the sub
scribers of the rural line.
It is probable that the Pleasant
Prairie Company will sign contract
with the Wisconsin Company regard
less to the action of the Bristol Com
pany, as the managers Of that Com
pany seem to think that the Wisconsin
Company has offered all that is to be
desired by them and the contract has
been drawn and may be signed during
the day.
In the meantime the managers of
the Citizens Company have been send
ing agents out into the country max
ing contracts for rival line and it
is possible that the county as we'll as
the city will have double system of
phones before the fight comes to an
end

A UNIQUE CONTEST.
Ear of Corn With Thirteen Rows I'm.
ported From Indiana Promises to
Cause Trouble.
BETTORs in DOUBT AS TO CORN

Down on Exchange street where
livery barns and wagon shops flourish
there is unique contest on and it
seems possible that the service of a
Philadelphia lawyer will have to be
called in to settle the dispute. Some
time ago John Fox and Charles Krebs,
both of whom had served an ap-
premiership on a farm or had at least
seen few stalks of growing corn, got
to discussing the makeup of an ear of
corn. Krebs claimed that an ear of
corn often had an odd row of kernels
and Fox was just as positive that the
rows was always of an even number.
Both were obdurate but Fox decided
that he was surer than Krebs and the
upshot of it all was that a bet of fifty
to hundred dollars was made Krebs
getting the short end of the bargain
Then the hunt for the ear with an ex-
ira row of kernels started. There was
none to be found in the ighborhood
but Krebs had seen thing or two and
knew that if he wanted to find this
kind Of a freak in the agricultural line
he would have to go down into good
old Indiana where all the freaks come
from. He went there and now he
claims that he has found the extraor-
binary ear of corn. 1t has just thir-
teen rows-count 'em-and claims that
he has won the bet. Fox doesn't
agree with him entirely and insists
that Krebs is pretty clever mechanic
and that in order to win he has taken
upon himself the production of an ear
with the thirteen rows. If this is the
case Krebs is certainly an artist for
the men who have been called as
judges in the case insist that the ear is
perfectly formed and that it contains
exactly thirteen rows. Fox says that
he has not been permitted to examine
the ear under the strong Slight of a
magnifying lens and feels confident
that when this examination is made it
will show that some deception has been
practiced. In the meantime the men
in the livery barns and wagon shops
are having no end of fun out of the
unique fight.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.
Sailor From the Kate Howard Falls into
the Harbor but is Rescued.


the Harbor but is Rescued.
"A sailor on board the schooner Kate
Howard, now tied up IN the harbor,
who is commonly known by the name
of Dad, his real name being ur1-
known to the other mem bers of the
crew, had narrow escape from being
drowned on Thursday night. The
fact that he is still alive is due to the
activity of Consta BILE Herbert Millager
and Jack Conry. The man had been
in the water for some time when his
cries for help we're heard by the con-
stable who secured the aid of Conry
and the two men pulled the sailor out.
The man told an awful story of suffer
ing in the icy water.
Dad had been down on the street I'M
til after eleven O'Clock when he had
started for the boat to spend the night.
A plank had been laid between the
dock and heboat and Dad attempted
to walk out on the plank. He was a
little unsteady and when he had walk
ed half the distance he plunged for
ward on the ice and fell into the water.
He shouted for help but no one came
to aid him and after great many eff
forts he managed to get hold of the
side of one of the boats in the harbor
and hung there until his cries we're
heard by the constable. The man
claimed that he had been in the water
for more than an hour when he was
rescued but this was evidently mis-
take. AS it was his hands had been
frozen and nearly all the clothing was
frozen on his body.
The man soon recovered from his
cold and fright, and he was able to go
to Milwaukee on Christmas day.

STILL BUYING LAND.
Chicago & Milwaukee Company Plans
a High Speed Line Between
Chicago and Kenosha.
PAY 100000 FOR RIGHT OF WAY

The managers of the Chicago &
Milwaukee Electric Railway company
Friday gave out the plans of the com.
,pany for the coming year and the plans
include the extension of the lines of
the company to Kenosha. The COM
pany has made an important change
IN the line between Highland Park and
Evanston which will result in the line
being made high speed line.
The company has bought twenty FIVE
acres of land between the two towns
and right of way seventy feet in
width is being laid out. On this right
Of way the company plans to build an
elevated track. The land in question
has been purchased at a tremendous
cost, the right of way costing more
than hundred thousand dollars. This
elevated road will connect at Evanston
with the Northwestern Elevated and
passengers will be landed on the loop
in Chicago. The managers claim that
with these elevated roads they will be
able to compete with the steam roads
dnO tAdt passengers Can DC Carried
from Kenosha to Chicago in an hour.
It is possible that this claim is little
optimistic but the running time of the
trains on the road will undoubtedly be
faster than now made by the electric
lires about Chicago.
In order to clear the title to the lands
owned by the company along the line
deeds were recorded in Chicago Thurs
day and the entire right of way is now
in the name of the Chicago & Milwau-
kee company with tie exception Of the
small strip between Kenosha and Wau-
kegan which has been decided to Vol
ney Foster, for the Chicago, Kenosha
& Milwaukee company. This property
will be turned over to the company as
soon as the right Of way is completed.
The road will not make any preten-
sions as freight carrier but it is
understood that it will be used entirely
as passenger line.
