Chicago, Kenosha and Milwaukee
Railway Company Gets Right
Through vanIngen Tract
GOLF LINKS TO BE INVADED.
Com any Pays $3.50 to Complete the
Kenosha-Deeds Are on Record.

After negotiations extending over
more than FIVE years the Chicago, Ke-
nosha & Milwaukee Railway COM
pany has finally secured a right of
way for an interurban line between
Waukegan and Kenosha and deeds
were filed today which will make it
possible for the company to begin
work at once.
The final chapter in the long fight
for the right of way was enacted in
the city today when deeds were signed
to transfer a strip of land from the
Van Ingen farm 100 feet in width and
three and quarter miles in length,
and strip fifty feet in width through
the links of the Kenosha Country
club which was decided to the officers
of the company by the heirs of the
late Edward Balm. The consideration
for the two strips was So, $50. The
Van Ingen property was sold to the
company for So, $50, or at the rate of
$500 an acre, and the short strip from
the Balm heirs brought a larger figure.
The final deal for the purchase of
the right of way was completed by
Attorney Peter Fisher of this city.
The company will take possession
of the property at once and there will
be no delay in the completion of the
line between the two cities.
In speaking of the matter after the
deeds had been filed Mr.. Fisher said:
eve have now the entire right of way
for the road between Waukegan and
Kenosha. There is just one hitch in
the right of, way and that is case in
the supreme court brought by DR..
Dowie and we have every reason to
believe that this suit will be disposed
of at the January term of the supreme
court of the state of Illinois. | have
every assurance that the mon who are
behind the deal plan to build at once
be started before the coming of the
spring. We have laid out the route
through the golf grounds so that it
will not in any way interfere with the
golfers. The right of way is but fifty
feet in width and it is situated on a
line between courses nine and ten. It
will run to the east of the club house
and barn and there wi1lss.sbe no inter
ference with any of the buildings or
green's"
The announcement of the large
amount received by Mr.. Van Ingen for
the right of way through his property
came as something of surprise as it
had been repeatedly stated that Mr..
Van Ingen had offered the company a
right of way free of charge.

TERRIBLY INJURED.
Nicholas Miller, of Somers, Has
His Arm Caught in a Corn
Shredder and Amputated.
BROTHER KICKED BY A HORSE

Nicholas Miller the manager of the
John Thorn farm near the village of
Berryvil1e, met with a terrible injury
Thursday afternoon which resulted
IN his being manned for life and
which may result fatally. The old
time enemy of the farmer, the corn
shredder, was the cause of the acct
dent and Miller had his right arm
caught in the machine and before it
could be stopped the arm had been
severed above the elbow. Miller is
now in the hospital at Racine and the
physicians attending him have hopes
of his recovery.
The injured man had been cutting
feed for stock and in some manner his
right hand with which he had been
pushing the feed into the machine
was caught in the cogs. He was pow
er1ess to stop the machine and shouted
for help. Other men in the barn hur-
ried to his assistance but before they
could reach him the arm had been
pulled into the knives and it had been
lCll1O1y 1dCCI dlCu DIS 1d1 DIS Tic G1OOWs
The 1igaments of the arm and even of
the mans back had been torn from
their places. AS soon as possible DIR.
Sorenson of Racine was called to at
tend the injuries and he at once am
putated the arm at the shoulder.
Later the injured man was removed to
the hospital. 1t will be many months
before he is able to be out of the hos
pita1.
It was an un1ucky day for the Mil
Ter family, for while the brother was
suffering from this terrible injury
another brother was kicked by horse
and SO seriously injured that he is
now confined to his bed. It is not
thought that the injuries to the
brother are dangerous but he will be
laid up for several days.
Both of the Miller boys are we'll
known in the county, and the acct
dent has caused a great deal of sor-
row in that neighborhood.

GETS RIGHT OF WAY
Wisconsin Central Railway Co.,
Buys Land for a Long Exten-
sion of Lines in County
TO SEEK BIG ICE BUSINESS,

The Wisconsin Central Railway
company is to make a new invasion of
the ice cutting districts of the county
and today deeds were filed with the
register of deeds for the transfer of a
large amount of land to be used by
the company as a right of way. From
the property now purchased by the
company it appears that the proposed
addition to the line will extend from
Cross lake to the west limits of the
town of Salem. The line is evidently
intended as an outlet for the company
to the big ice cutting districts.
The deeds show that the company
has purchased strips of land a hun
dred feet in width extending through
seven farms in that portion of the
town. The land is purchased from
the following parties, the amount
paid for the right of way being given
as follows:
John Borne, 5000; John Longman,
$142; George Longman, $244; Robert
Runyard, $500; Charles Runyard, $3.50;
Mary Granger ct al, $500, and Jane
MCGUIRE, 5000.
1t is understood that the line which
is now being planned is in no way
connected with the line planned by
the Wisconsin Central to connect
with the Vincent gravel pit. The
Central is rapidly extending its line
in the western part of the county and
in a short time it will be a rival of the
Chicago and North Western for the
business of the Chicago ice companies
WHO have leases covering the lakes of
Kenosha county. The company al
ready touches several of the great ice
cen rers and it is evidently the scheme
of the managers to get into the other
portions of the county.
The people of Wi1mot still have
hopes that the company will extend
the present lire to Wi1mot.

GUESSING CONTESTS BARRED.
Reports of Results on Guessing Con-
tests Cannot be Sent by Mail.

Reports of Results on Guessing Con-
tests Cannot be Sent by Mail.
The United States government has
just issued an order which is of great
interest to many people in Kenosha.
The order is an order which prevents
the sending of the reports of guessing
contests through the United States
mails and in the future all notices of
by local newspapers. The order is a
sweeping one and by it's issuance raf-
hes and all sorts of contests where
the elements of chance are entered
must not be published in papers which
are to be sent through the mails. In
past years these guessing contests and
raff1es have been a popular sport in
Kenosha but in the future they will
have to be operated in a decidedly
q uiet manner.
The state laws are plain on the mat
ter and now that the government has
placed them under ban it is possible
that the local officials will take steps
to put an end to them.
In nearly all the church and society
fairs held in Kenosha the sale of
chances on articles has been one of
the chief sources of revenue but in
the future if such contests are carried
on they will be considered a direct
violati Of the law and all fairs and
bazaars having such contests will
not be advertised in the papers of the
city.
The wheels of fortune must come
down and the duck and geese raf1es
must be done away with.
For some time the people of Keno.
sha have waged miniature war on
this sort of vice but few arrests have
been made for this wi1fu1 violation
of the state and city laws. The slot
machines have craw1ed back to their
old place of honor in several saloons
and it is about time that the police
commissioner made a trip about the
city and put an end to this petty
gambling. The district attorney is
ready to act against this form of
gambling as soon as complaints have
been made to him.

Annie Hansen Long Missing From
Pleasant Prairie Found in an
Iowa City Yesterday.
NOW WIFE OF AXTEL NELSON.
Girl Left Home of her Uncle Six Weeks
Ago and E1oped to Join her Fiance
Who was at Waterloo.

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of Annie Hansen, the
seventeen year old Danish girl, from
the town of Pleasant Prairie was
cleared up yesterday evening when
the uncle of the girl received letter
from her stating that she was now at
Waterloo, Iowa and that she had been
married there month ago to Axte1
Nelson a former sweetheart.
The Hansen girl came to Kenosha
from Denmark some six months ago
and some six weeks ago she left the
home of her uncle stating that she was
coming to Kenosha to seek position
as domestic. For week the uncle
waited to hear from the girl and then
came to Kenosha to seek the aid of
the police in locating her. It was
discovered that the girl had not
stopped in Kenosha but had gone on
through to Chicago. It was thought
that she had met with some foul play
IN that city as no trace of her could
be found.
The letter from the young woman
fully exp1aines her absence. In the
letter she states that she was engaged
to marry Nelson when she left Den
mark to come to this country but the
marriage had been opposed by her
mother and she had been sent to Ke-
nosha for the purpose of breaking off
the intimacy which existed between
her and Nelson. Miss Hansen had
been in Kenosha less than a week
when she received letter stating that
Nelson had left Denmark for Keno
sha and that he would meet her in
Chicago late in October. Nelson had
friend and relative in Chicago and
Miss Hansen went there and waited
for the coming of her fance. AS
soon as he reached Chicago the couple
were married.
Miss Nelson states that she did not
disclose her plans to her relatives
here as she feared they would attempt
to prevent the marriage on account of
the fact that she was under legal
age.
Nelson is now employed in factory
at Waterloo, Iowa.

Congressman Cooper's Candidacy for
United States Senate Announced.

On1CGQ states senate Announced
The candidacy of Congressman
H. A. Cooper for the United States
senate was Thursday definitely an
nounced by G. c. Cuttings, of Racine,
the we'll known politician, who has
been closely identified with all ad-
ministration politics, and who is one
Of the men aggressive1y behind Mr..
Cooper's candidacy. Although it has
been reported for some time that Con-
gresham Cooper in all likelihood
would be a candidate, there has been
no public announcement of the fact.
A few days after election the con-
gresham was called to Washington
on matters connected with the naval
training school, and returned to Ra-
cine this week. He has held repeated
conferences with his local supporters,
at which his candidacy has been dis
cussed.
AS one of the most prominent ad-
ministration Republicans in the state,
Mr.. Cuttings does not believe that
Gov. LaFollette will become a candi-
date for senator, nor is he inclined to
the view that the governor will place
himself IN a position where he will be
forced into becoming candidate up
on the solicitation Of Jealous friends.

People do not want circulars, etc.
That's the difference in getting to the

The reader turns over page after

If the matter interests him he'll re-

he'll act on it. That's all any adver-

If a subsequent ad. on the same sub
ject appears the impression will be
deepened, and it is possible by persist

convince the average man of any
thing. If you want the people to give

them that it is for their own best in

VEST POCKET DINNERS.
Why the Capsule Meals Will Hardly
Achieve Popularity.

FROM the Housekeeper
1t Is said that a German student of food
concentration has succeeded so well with
his experiments that g. single small capsule
now suff1ces him for full meal and that
ten seconds Is the average time he spends
at either his breakfast. luncheon or dinner.
The prediction is freely made that within a
few years we shall all be subsisting upon
capsules. there will be no more cooking in
our households and the servant problem
will be solved most beautifully. OF course
under these conditions there would be no
more public dinners or banquets of state,
ployment and the great hotels would be-
come simply dormitories. We would buy
our meals at the drug stores and carry
them in our pockets. The sign Quick
Lunch would disappear from our streets,
for we could all be walking restaurants.
Whatever the possibility of such a con-
dition from the scientific standpoint, there
is not the slightest danger of it's realization
within the lifetime of the present genera
ton. Most of US, to be frank, are too fond
of eating and drinking to be content with
capsule repasts, however convenient as
time savers. The element of sociability,
too, must be taken into consideration. The
gathering of family about the table three
times a day adds immeasurably to human
enjoyment. 1t Is the place of all places
where good cheer should prevail There
are sufficient influences at work for the de-
struction of home life in these busy days
without adding one more. We fear the food
capsule will be long time achieving the
popularity at present enjoyed by beefsteak
and potatoes.

An English Railway Veteran.

From the London Truth.
Whenever an eminent man dies who has
passed his three score years and ten he
IS described in the press as a link with
the past. The hackneyed phrase is GER
tainly appropriate In the case of Mr.. ].

poraneous with the history of railways
down to the present moment. He served
his apprenticeship under Brunei and he
came to the front of the railway world
while railways were still in their infancy.
Reference has been made by some of
the biographers to his unfailing un-
punctuality. In bygone days. when used
occasionally to see him. he once confided
to me that this was not the result of con-
stitutional infirmity so far as he was con-
cerned, but OF deliberate policy. Share

In a Russian Village.
From Social Service.

From Social Service.
AS rule Russian village is a forlorn-
looking place. where the huts of the poor
are made of birch logs. with upright oak
or pine supports. ceilings of strips of the
aame birch and walls lined with the crude
bra inches. In these huts there are only
two rooms one of which is not for every
day use, but is kept for best occasions
This room houses those sacred images so
dear to the heart OF every member of the
Greek Church. to which belong the great
mass of the Russian people. The other
room serves the purpose of both kitchen
and sleeping room. as one of the principal
ideas of comfort to these people, ice and
snow bound for SO many months of the
year. Is warmth.
In many of the peasant huts no beds are
used, and the top of great stove, reach
ing nearly to the roof, is a much-sought
sleeping place. Although the conditions
make dirt and the accompanying results in
separable in the domestic life of these
peasants. they are devotedly fond of basn-
ing. The vapor bath in crude form may
be called national institution. and "a not
unusual picture of a summer afternoon Ia
the village pond filled with women and
children bathers.
