PLAN NEW LEAGUE.
keRosha Ball Team to be Invited
to Join an Interstate League
for Next Year.
MAY PLAY INDEPENDENT.

Within the next ten days meeting
will be called by the men interested
to talk over plans for forming an inter-
state league for next season, COM
posed of the teams from GAINESVILLE,
Madison, Kenosha, Racine and Be1oit
in Wisconsin and Rockford and Free
port in Illinois. The scheme is said
to have originated with Rockford,
whose team was dropped from the
Three-I league Tuesday. It is unlike
1y that the Kenosha team will go into
any such arrangement. The last time
that Kenosha had q team in the
interstate league the season was un-
profitable and it is not probable that
Breen will try to support league base
ball in Kenosha next season. The
manager believes that it is more prof
liable to play independent ball and
to have most of the games on the
home grounds and it is believed that
the fact that if the Kenosha team
joined the league half Of the, games
would have to be played away from
home would be enough to keep Keno
sha from joining.

Marvellous Scenery.

When great man rides up river
on a pleasure excursion with a local
entertainment committee, what is more
natural for him as he glances at the
scenery between drinks than to remark
that it is the most beautiful river in
America?
Then he goes on his way to some
other city to be entertained and to
make some complimentary remark
about the scenery and forgets all about
the last place, but the local committee
treasures it up, and it becomes a part
of the traditions Of the place that Gen
eral Bumcome, who had been thrice
around the world, paused enraptured
as he gazed on their commonplace hills
and sun baked landscape.
Great men have way of dealing in
the superlat1ve, particularly if they
may some day be a presidential candi-
date, and they can look intently for a
few minutes at barren red section
house and make the natives think they
have something in the way of public
building that makes st. Paurs look
like chicken coop.

BUYS PEACH FARM
Old Kenosha Citizen to go Into
the Peach Growing Business
in Michigan.
MCDOWELL In NEW VENTURE

News reached Kenosha yesterday
that Gerald r. Mcdowell formerly of
this city, and for the past two years
of Denver, is to leave his western
home and move to ST. Joseph, Mich.
For several years he was connected
with the University School here in
this city, being a partner Of n. A.
Rowe of Kenosha. While here in the
school he was married to Miss Nellie
Balm, daughter of the late Lewis
Balm. Later he gave up his school
interests and practiced law in this
city. He was member of the firm of
Lloyd & Mcdowell for some time, and
later became the senior partner of the
firm of Mcdowell & Kroncke. He
then became interested in the Amer
lean Exploitation Company and NOV.
ed his home to Denver.
He expects to move to his new home
about Nov. 1, and will occupy a farm
five miles from ST. Joseph, where he
will raise peaches for the market.
Mr.. Mcdowell made host of
friends while in Kenosha and they
all join in the hearty wish that the
new venture may be a great success.

Brewers Association Passes Re-
solutions Against Furnishing
License Money orFixtures
DEPOSIT MONEY REQUIRED.
MaIy Saloon Keepers May be Forced
to Stand on Their Own Feet in the
Future and Pay Cash.

Kenosha saloon keepers have been
more or less worried lately over the
resolutions passed by the Wisconsin
Brewers association at the meeting
held by the association at Appleton
recently. All Of the biggest and most
powerful brewing companies In the
state belong to the association and If
they adhere strictly to the resolutions
as passed the saloon business will be
revolutionized IN Wisconsin. The as
ISOLATION first decided to increase the
price of an eighth from $1.00 to S1.5O,
the extra fifty cents being levied as
security for the return Of the key.
This increase affects the local saloon
keepers very little, one way or an
other, for the reason that for the past
two months the larger breweries have
not handled Fights IN Kenosha.
The saloon men were rather glad
than otherwise to learn that the big
fellows would handle Fights again.
A similar ruling was made in regard
to bottled beer. 1t is the second reso-
luton passed by the convention, how
ever, that is causing the men who are
in business by the favor of the brew
cries to do some thinking.
The convention drew up and passed
resolution that hereafter no more
fixtures or license money will be furn-
ished the saloon keepers by the brew
ers. Fully thirty-fve of the saloons
of Kenosha are under control of the
various brewing companies which
are members of the association which
passed this resolution, and if brew
cries enforce the resolution some of
these saloons will certainly go out of
business. It remains to be seen
whether the rulings will be enforced
here or not. Many of the agents of
the big breweries and the saloon men
seem to think that no changes will be
made in the business in Kenosha, but
ali agree that great changes would re-
suit if this resolution was en-
forced. The principal beer agent
in the city said this morning
when asked for his opinion of the
pro bab1e action of his company said:
ST have heard of the resolutions, of
course, but have not received any or
ders to enforce them in Kenosha, and
do not expect to get any such orders"
