MAY MAKE BIG LOAN.
Council Grants Board of Educa-
ton the Right to Borrow
$4,000 for Expenses
BOARD MUST PAY INTEREST.

The city council at its regular
meeting on Monday evening author
lied the board of education to negoti-
ate loan of $4,000 to assist in de-
fraying the expenses of the schools
of the city for the remainer of the cur
rent year.
The loan is to be made at once, and
the only condition attached to the
grant bv +l'A -9unci1 is that the board
c. education shall pay all the interest
on the loan and the expense of OBJ
tanning it, from the amount appro-
priated to the school fund in the an
nua1 tax levy. It is probable that the
money will be secured from the First
National bank, and it will come in
time to allow the payment of the
teachers salaries on Thursday.
Many of the members Of the coun-
Gil were opposed to granting so large.
loan for the school board, but it was
shown that the schools demanded the
money, and the loan was ordered.
The meat dealers of the city, acting
as unit, sent petition to the coun-
Gil asking that all farmers pedd1ing
meat on the streets of the city be re-
quired to pay license. The dealers
hold that they are forced to pay taxes
to the city and that for this reason
their business should be protected.
They also show that the meats Of
fered for sale by them have passed the
inspection of United States officials,
while those offered for sale by the
farmers have not been inspected. It
is thought that this action of the
butchers was brought about by the
fact that recently diseased meats were
offered for sale in the city.
The fire department played an i'm
portant part in the meeting on Mon
day evening and the chief of the de-
partment was authorized to purchase
new team of horses for use at one
of the engine houses. The council
also authorized the purchase of
1000 feet Of hose, and the committee
will get figures on supply of rubber
boots and rubber coats for the use of
the members of the department.
Much of the time of the meeting
was taken up with the reading of
minutes which. had been gathered
from several meetings and it was al
most 9 o. clock when the council got
down tc the regular business of the
session.

BEGGARs FLOCK TO KENOsHA
Christmas Season Brings Large Num-
Der of Men Who Seek Aid.

Kenosha is overrun with beggars,
and it is estimated that more than
forty men in the city today are living
off the charity of the Christmas
shoppers. These men are to be seen
all along Main street and they have
every kind Of graft known to the pro-
fession. Some of them are o1d timers
who have been in Kenosha annually
for years past while few of them
are new corners who are reaping
harvest. All of them seem to touch
the tender hearts Of the people Of the
city. The men are for the most part
sleeping in the box cars of railway
company or at the various hobo camps
along the tracks between Kenosha
and Zion City.

DOWIE NOT BROKE.
Rumors of More Financial Troubles at
Zion Denied by Judge Barnes.


Rumors that John Alexander Dowie
was facing a financial crisis and a
new receivership for Zion City are
branded as false by Judge w. Barnes
and other officials of the Dowie estab-
lishment, who insist that Zion is in a
better condition financially than be-
fore the receivership of last winter.
Judge Barnes said:
For a year we have done business
practically on cash basis. We posi-
lively have had no trouble with any
creditors or bankers. AS to the re-
ceivership debt, we paid in cash the
first three instal1ments, and the last
one, due this week, was metin salts

These in brief are the salient points
of the franchise ordinance which the
company, headed by Mr.. Lutzenkir
cher, has presented to the city coun
Gil. It is IN many ways the most I'M
usual franchise ordinance lever of
fered to the city council, and peru
sal of it shows that the company has
not strained itself in making offers tt
the city for the use of the streets.
One of the aldermen in speaking Of
the matter this morning said, "The
company has not even offered to put
in a street crossing in return for the
rights asked in the ordinance"
The ordinance is similar to all the
railway ordinances that have beer
presented to the council in the las
ten years, and of course stipu1ates
that the company will put in the rail
way in the most modern manner, an6
that everything will be done to pro
tect the city against any loss from &C
cidents during the buildingsand oper
alton of the road.
The route as set down in the ordi
nance is a long one, and covers nearly
all Of the streets in the city available
for railway purposes. The route as
stated in the ordinance follows:
Beginning at the north limits of the
city and thence along Caledonia
street to Middle street; west on Mid
die street to Jay street, and south or
Jay street to Grand avenue, thence
westerly along Grand G avenue t.
Charles street, south on Charles stree
to Frost street; east on Frost street tt
Crate street; north on Crate street t.
Strong street; east on Strong street
to Ashland avenue; north on Ashland
avenue to York street; west on York
street to West Main street; north or
West Main to the end of the street
and along land to be purchased to the
north limits of the city.

street intersects Pleasant street south

CITY MAKES PLANS.
Committee Has all Arrangements
Made for Remode|ing the
County Building.
AWAIT CONSENT OF COUNTY.

The committee recently appointed
by Mayor German to secure the use
of the old county building for a city
hall has completed it's work, and if
the county is willing to make the city
any reasonable proposition the city
will take lease of the building at
the next meeting of the county board
to be held the first weekain January.
The plans for the remode1ing Of the
building are already in highlands of
the committee, and they provide for a
splendid improvement and one which
will assure the safety of the records
of the city and give to the city Off
Gals suitable Offices until such time
as the city can build new city hall
in keeping withihe business demands
of the municipality.
The plans as made by the commit
tee are to utilize the entire seast side
of the building for the officers of the
city clerk and the city engineer. This
will give each of these.ofi ces
larger than they have at theipresent
time and each oficeaYwill have
splendid vault which Ewill be large
enough to hold all thu records of the
departments. It will not bespossib1e
to provide an office for the citygtreas-
urer and the assessor at the building,
as the committee has planned to use
the entire west side of the building
for a council chamber. This room
will give the council more space than
it has at this time, and will give p1en-
ty Of room for the openingIof a larger
lobby for the accommodation of the
tax payers who would attend the
meetings if there were room Ito ac-
commodate them.
The committee estimates the cost
of the proposed changes at 5000. 1t is
thought that the county will be will
ing to give the city very advantage
Gus lease if the city will pay for the
remode1ing of the building.

ing at Kai Chou is Offset by the ad-
mission that they are being greatly

Japanese will not attempt to take
Yinkow before they capture Ia Tche

Army still Moving North.

Toxic, July 13.--The Japanese Ia
kushan army is moving northwest
from Stu Yen. 1t fought series OF
small battles with the Russians July
9th and 10th. After occupying Kai
Chou, General Oku's army Sunday
moved northward. The Russians have
strong defenses at Tapingshan. Niu-
seminar. Nangmatai, Ching Hishan
and camps near Kuo Chiapao. General
Oku probably will attack these posi-
tions as soon as his troops are rested.
In the fights Of July Sth and 9th the
Japanese lost about $50 men,
The Russian losses are believed to
have been heavier than the Japanese.
Admiral Togo reports that at mid
night July 11th, torpedo boats ap-
preached the boom which blocks the
entrance to Port Arthur harbor and
attacked the guard ship Diana with
torpedoes. The result has not been as
certained. The Japanese boats re-
turned undamaged.

where the railroad connects with the

former as long as possible.

ABOLISH ANCIENT CUSTOM.
increasing Opposition TO Foot-Bindins
Among Chinese.


The Natural Feet society. organized
not long ago in China by Mrs. Archi-
bald Little. is struggling bravely
against native prejudices. There Is an
increasing opposition to foot-binding
among the Official leaders of China,
and though the imperial edict two
years ago had little effect, some of
the viceroys accepted it with interest.
one of whom, Tsen Chunhusen, not
only gave the society his approval,
but also wrote pamphlet on the sub
ject and had 5000 copies circulated
in his own province. Another viceroy
had his own little daughters feet un-
bound, and then wrote pamphlet
condemning the practice, and caused
it to be circulated. The missionaries
give constant aid and encouragement
in the movement, and at meeting in
the chapel of the American Metho-
dists ninety young girls attended,
whose feet were in natural condition.
