Milwaukee Merchants Ask the North
western Railway Company to
Reduce Rates From Here.
WANT TICKETS FOR COMMUTERS
MiIwaukeeans Claim That They are Dis
eliminated Against in Favor OF Chi
cagO Dealers

A friendly feeling is growing up be-
tween kenosha and Milwaukee and
business men of the Metropolis of
the state, and interested parties in Ke-
nosha are making an effort to secure a
reduction IN the passenger rates be-
tween the two cities. For the last FIVE
years periodic efforts have been made
to secure this change in rates, but the
efforts have always resulted in failure
The Northwestern company seems to
look with disfavor on any plan to con-
meet Milwaukee merchants with Keno
sha business, and the managers of the
company have frowned down any eff
fort to increase the traffic between the
two cities. State pride is beginning to
assert itself, and with both Milwaukee
and Kenosha seeking the rates it is
possible that in the near future 'some
plan for the issue of Communication
tickets will be suggested.
At present the rate for round trip
ticket between Milwaukee and Keno
sha is thirty-fve cents more than the
rate for Chicago and Kenosha, and yet
it is nearly twice as far to Chicago as
it is to Milwaukee. Milwaukee IS given
a chance to seek business in Racine,
and the people of the Belle city are
furnished a low rate to Milwaukee.
So much lower is this rate than the
regular fare that tickets between RAJ
cine and Milwaukee are sold in Ke-
nosha and travellers are able to save
money by paying fare to Racine and
then using the Communication ticket If
a rate should be fixed for traffic be-
tween the city and Milwaukee the
tickets would of course be of the
twenty-five ride variety, and it is pos
sible that the rate would be as low as
dollar for the round trip, or one-ha1f
the amount charged at present.
Kenosha has been made "Chicago
town" on account of the action of the
Northwestern inrefusing to grant COM
mutation rates, and much business
which could go to Milwaukee goes out
side of. the state. The line the COM
pany has drawn for Chicago and Mil
waukee traffic seems to be near the
Kenosha county line, as Racine people
are not allowed to use communication
tickets between Racine and Chicago.
On this account people of the Belle
city are forced to secure the use of
tickets sold to Kenosha patrons of the
road. The company will probably
keep up the discrimination so long as
it is found to be paying investment
to send Kenosha people to Chicago
rather than to Milwaukee, but the mer-
chauts of Milwaukee are making the
last effort to secure more equitable
treatment of the two cities.

SPECIAL ADMINISTRATOR.
Stock of the E. A. O'Brien Company to be
Disposed of for Benefit of Creditors.

oCocK OF the FL "A, OBrfen Company to be
Disposed of for Benefit of Creditors
In the County Court late Friday
Afternoon Judge S1osson issued an or
der appointing George Hale spec
ial administrator of the estate of the
late William O'Brien. Mr.. Hale will
take charge of the property at once
and will make an effort to dispose of
the E. A. O'Brien company for the
benefit Of the creditors. In order to
make it possible for Mr.. Hale to sell
the stock Miss Cecilia O'Brien has
made an assignment in trust for her
portion of the business to him. The
special administrator was appointed at
the request of Miss O'Brien, who con-
sidered this the best plan for closing
out the business.
The special administrator took charge
of the stock this morning and will
make an effort to sell it at private
sale. It is thought that the value of
the stock will be sufficient to meet
nearly all the obligations of the COM
pany.
The E. A. O'Brien company, which
will go out Of business with the sale of
the stock, was organized four years
ago by the late Miss Elizabeth O'Brien.
Two years ago William O'Brien pur-
chased half interest in the company.
At the death of Miss O'Brien her in
terest in the business was transferred
to her sister, Miss Cecilia O'Brien.

No Large DepositOrs.

There are no large depositors with
the bank, but as soon as the word got
around that the bank had been closed
there was steady line of callers who
had something in the bank. IT is prob
able that the largest individual loss
will be in the neighborhood of thous-
and dollars. The last statement of
the bank which was published on
March %, shows that the deposits SUBJ
ject to check amounted to $7,163. 90.
There were certificates of deposit is
sued to the extent of $3, 325. As, and
savings deposits to the amount of 3d.
1881. The savings accounts are
about $50 in number and the amount
runs from dollar to three hundred
dollars. These accounts are largely
the savings Of the laborers Of the city.
Woodmen Heavy Losers.
One of the heaviest losers from the
failure will be the Kenosha camp of
the Modern Woodmen of America.
The camp had more than five hundred
dollars IN the bank, President Komp
being the treasurer of the camp. Be-
sides this head officers of the camp had
large deposits in the bank. The Wood
men will make an effort to secure some
of this money on the grounds that
bonds have been issued to keep this
money intact.

Basket Ball Team Closes the Season With

Basket Ball Team Closes the Season With
Record of Many Victories.
The victorious basket ball team of
the Kenosha Y. NJ. G. A. closed the
season of 1908 Friday night with de-
cisive victory over the team of the Mil
waukee Athletic Club by score of "a
to IS. This last game of the season
makes the Kenosha team the undis-
puted basket ball champions of the
State and the team has good claim
on the championship of the West.
During the season the team has met
and defeated the strongest teams in
the West. Every team of note in Wis.
consin has been defeated by the Keno
sha five and all the Chicago teams
have been forced to lay down with the
exception of the Central 7. NJ. c. A.
team, which is the champion team of
the North west and rated as the second
best Y. M. C. A. team in the country.
The Central team has record of one
victory and one defeat at the hands of
the Kenosha team and it is possible
that another game will be arranged to
settle the fight.
The game with the Milwaukee team
was one of the best of the season and
an enthusiastic crowd turned out to
witness it. The lineup of the two
teams waS.as follows.

This easily explains why we have no
news. 1t can hardly be otherwise. Two
or three ships are engaged in the opera
tions. In such a situation ii Is quite i'm
possible for the commodore to send one
of these ships to the nearest telegraph
station, Curacao, in order to transmit a
dispatch, for he would then have to do
without this ship for at least two days,
which is impossible. owing to the pres
ence of only two three ships on the
blockade. The commodore cannot use the
land lines through Venezuela, but must
depend upon the nearest non Venezuelan
station Curacao.
