LITTLE GIRL INJURED.

Careless Bicycle Rider Runs Down a Little
Girl at Corner of Main and Park Streets
Rigid orders have been issued to the
police of the city to prevent scorching
among the bicycle riders. The order
came as the result of an accident to a
little girl whose name could not be
obtained.
Just after six O'Clock Monday night
when the men from the factories came
tearing along Main street little girl
seven or eight years of age attempted
to cross Main street. She was
weighted down with heavy Jug filed
with vinegar. Just as she reached the
ceuter of the street a rider who was
dashing along the street struck her
and hurled her heavily to the pave
ment, breaking the jug and splitting
the contents. The little girl was bad
ly bruised but she was able to get up
and walk to her home. The man who
was the cause of the accident never
stopped but went down the street. If
he could have been found the CROWD
that gathered would have given him a
scorchirg that he would have remem-
bered fer many a day.

DOWIE FINDS A SOLUTION.

Would Intermarry Blacks and whites and
Thus do Away with Color lines.
John Alexander Dowie has solved
the race problem, to his own satisfac-
ton at least, and intends that his so1u-
ton shall he put in practice at once at
Zion City. His plan, which is sim
pie one, provides for the intermarriage
of blacks and whites on the ground
that 1--WE are all mem bers of one great
family"
II trust,'' Dowie says, ''that we shall
have marriage IN Zion between all the
families OF the one great race upon
the earth, for there are not number
of races. There is only one race. but
there are many families. All this nom
sense about different races is Just so
much trash. You must remember that
there was grum bling about Moses mar
rying an African woman. But God
said, My servant Moses is faithful in
all mine house. Ye Southern people,
with that big black spot on your
heart, do not forget it. God has not
lost confidence in Moses because he
had married an Ethiopian woman.
"The negro has not had a chance
and the time is swiftly coming when
the national Congress at Washington
and the national administration will
have to face the question of national
taxation of the whole people to pro-
vide an education for every child in
this nation that cannot otherwise get
it, no matter in what state they are.
The nation should have a system of
education that would be secular, that
would be compulsory and that would
be absolutely free to children of every
shade of color under the American
flag. Give them that and you will see
that the kind-hearted and gentle aud
peaceable race, albeit many of them
have been sinful, will grow and will
make the nation proud that it has
such gentle, intelligent and progress
sive people beneath The folds of the
stars and stripes"

House at Opera House Sunday Night.
Quincy Adams Sawyer" the best
New England play ever seen in Keno
sha, drew large crowd to the Rhode
Opera House Sunday evening and
every one of the large crowd went
away pleased with the performance.
1t was one of those pretty home plays
which recalled the triumphs Of "The
Old Homestead" and ashore Acres, !"
and it is staged in such splendid
manner, and presented by well
rounded cast.
The scenes of the play we're so faith
fully portrayed that some of the New
Eng1anders in the audience could not
repress their approval, and they stood
up in their seats and shouted their
applause to the actors.
Every membe of the company was
star in his or her part but special
mention should be made of P. S. Nan.
merry who played the part of Deacon
Mason and of Julia Norton who was

HOME COMING. >

These two words with the thoughts
recently attached to them are very at
tractive. The old settlers yearly re-
union is an ideal time for the gather
ing of the home corners, and the old
settlers grounds are an ideal place.
Should thousand and more come
there is ample room, and the home
Corners would receive unmeasured well
come.
Looking back over the thirteen
years during which have served as
secretary, think there has never been
an annual gathering without the at
tendance of one or more of those who
years agone went from Kenosha
county to make new homes in the
West and South. Should such come
in the future by the coach load, or the
train load, there is no doubt but the
Old Settlers Club would be glad to ex-
tend to them all possible courtesies.
We shall meet you.

THE DENVER EXPRESS.

The play achieved one of the hits of
last season. 1t contains liberal por-
tons of rafting comedy and dramatic
thrills" It's built up of the mater
ials that appeal to the theatre goers
who admire the simpler virtues. The
william can always be relied upon to
merit the honest hatred of his audience
and the comic gentleman has an iron
oouud contract with the author that he
be given an opportunity to furnish a
laugh every thirty seconds. stThe
Denver Express" admits of novel
scenic effects and the company pre-
senting it has a well established repn-
'ation for effective work.

Senator QuarIes Says Kenosha is Badly in
Need of a New Building and May Get 1t.
United States Senator Joseph v.
Quarles, of Milwaukee, was in Keno
sha last Saturday afternoon and made
a complete examination of the build
ing now occupied by the Kenosha
Office. Senator Quarles was given a
vivid picture of the drawbacks of the
Kenosha Office, and shown that it
would be impossible for the Office to
continue in the Office for more than a
year later.
The Senator was evidently moved
by the condition of affairs here and
assured the officials that he would do
all in his power to have Kenosha
included in the list of cities for public
buildings. AS the senator is a mem
Der of the Senate Committee on public
buildings, his aid should be of great
value to Kenosha in securing build
ing.

TAKE OFF MANY BRAKEMEN.
Northwestern Railway Reduces Number of
Employees ON Passenger Trains.

Employees on Passenger Trains.
During the past week the Nor th-
western railroad company has intro
duced new plan, that of cutting out
many of its brakemen on it's passenger
trains.
On the Wisconsin and Milwaukee
divisions, about twenty have been re-
moved and it is said that the mum Der
to be removed is about $50. This
action of the company in reducing the
number of their passenger brakemen
is due, no doubt, to the fact that strong
pressure was brought to bear a few
months ago to have the wages of
the trainmen raised, the matter finally
being compromised by raise of IL per
cent to passenger trainmen and IS per
cent to freight trainmen.
The new plan will leave many of the
trains with but one brakeman for all
of the coaches. While there will no
doubt be big saving to the company
by the removal of the employees the
question arises, will it not DE a mea as
of causing danger to patrons. There
will not be the ccommodation to wo-
men and children in getting on and off
trains; there will not be the number of
men to see that everybody is aboard
and that it is safe to start the train;
and another important fact is that
there cannot, as has always been the
rule, be brakeman at the rear end of
the train, most important provision
to avert collisions.

when the big dynamo went down all
service on the line stopped. The cars
we're pulled into the barns by horse

Statement of the Company
This afternoon Manager Bowen, of
the Kenosha Gas & Electric company,
issued the following statement in re-
gard to the plans Of the company for
the future:
Kenosha, Wis, Sept. q, 1908.
In order that the public generally
and our patrons may have an idea of
when we will be able to resume opera
ton we will briefly state that we fully
expect to have the heating service re-
stored within the next 48 hours if
nothing develops to prevent. We also
expect to be able to resume the mean
descent service within about the same
length of time, although it will IKE
us somewhat longer to find machinery
for the street lighting service. We re-
gret very much the Inconvenience to
the public and shall do our best to re-
store service and hope to establish a
record in that respect like we did at
the time Of our previous FIRE.
So far as the insura nee is concerned
we should judge it to be total loss
fully covered by insurance. We ask
the forbearance of the public in our
mutual difficulty and will do all posi-
BILE to get things in order in short
time.
We will only add that our new
buildings will not be delayed on ac-
count of this FIRE but every effort will
be made to push them to completion at
once. Very truly yours,
KENosHA GAS & ELECTRIC Co.
