THERE seems to be wide differ
ence of opinion as to the advisabi1ity
of issuing bonds to pay for the new
Durkee school. The people Of Keno
sha have had some unfortunate expe-
riences with bond issues in the past
and the result of the special election
on the issue of bonds for sewer i'm
provement indicates that they are
quite generally opposed to bond is
sues for any purpose whatever, but
they may decide to make an excep-
ton in this case if the question is sub
mitted to them. The building has
got to be paid for, and we have either
got to raise the money on the next tax
levy or issue bonds and spread the
payment over period of years. The
taxpayers will have to decide whether
they want to pay the money all at
once or on the insta11ment plan.

SECURITIES ARE MISSING.
E. G. Hadden Asked Concerning Had
den-Rodee Stocks.

e. G. Hadden Asked Concerning Had
den-Rodee Stocks.
An attempt was made yesterday be-
fore Referee in Bankruptcy D. Lloyd
Jones, of Milwaukee, to discover from
President E. G. Hadden of the bank
rupt Hadden- Rodee company what
had become of certain collateral Sc
cnrities of w. E. Woodend & Co.,
New York, held by the Hadden com
pany prior to the failure of its New
York agent. Attorney w. A. Hayes
read letter of June %, 1904, dictated
by E. L. Bradbury, and signed by the
Hadden-Rodee company, which said
that the company had learned it could
DO longer hold the securities.
Mr.. Hadden said he believed the
securities were stocks listed on ex-
changes in New York and Boston;
that he didn't know why his company
was unable to hold them, although he
believed it was because they were
only partially paid for and that he
did not know to whom the stocks were
surrendered.
Mr.. Hadden testified that he and Mr..
Bradbury, manager, received $4,000
per year salary.
The hearing will be resumed Friday.

THE principal argument in favor OF
allowing the street railway company
a franchise on Ashland avenue is
that it will reduce the cost of the paw
ing to the property owners on the
street. Whether or no they will get
ero4eu out of the railway company
on he paving to pay them for grant
ing the company franchise on their
street is a question for the property
owners to decide for themselves. Ash
land avenue should have been one of
the first streets paved, and the i'm
provement cannot be delayed much
longer. If the owners of two-th1rds
of the frontage on the street want to
reduce the cost of paving by the
amount the railway would pay, the
council will undoubtedly grant a
franchise. AS in the case of Park
avenue, the matter should be left to
the property owners.

Frank Smith to be Seen Again In a
Kenosha Uniform on Next Sunday.
Frank Smith, who has made one OF
the greatest records of the base ball
season as pitcher for the White Sox
and who pitched for Kenosha in the
early games of the season, will be in
the box for the third game with the
Waukegan team at Central Park on
Sunday afternoon. Each of the teams
has won game and the Waukegan
men are coming to Kenosha to c1inch
the series by winning the third game.
Added to the coming OF Smith, Man
ager Breen has secured several league
players to fill up the gaps in the Ke-
nosha team.
It is claimed that thousand Wan
kegan fans will accompany the team
to Kenosha and that they will come
prepared to bet their last dollar on the
outcome of the game. Manager Breen
states that it looks like a piece of
easy money for the Kenosha boys.

SCHOOLS ARE SAFE
Fire Drill at Contra School Build
ing Results in Clearing the
School in Short Time.
FIRE ESCAPES SATISFACTORY

The children Of the Central school
building had their first fire drill of the
year on Monday afternoon and in the
comparatively short time of a minute
and quarter all the six hundred and
fifty pupils marched out of the build
ing. The signal of fire was given
without any notice to either teachers
or students and the rooms of the
building were cleared with perfect
system and without the least friction.
The removal of the children from the
building in SO short time shows what
is being done by the fire drills in the
different buildings and it is certain
that there is little danger from fire to
the schools of Kenosha. With the
perfect system displayed at the drill
on Monday afternoon it would be
almost impossible for fire to result
IN fatality in the Kenosha schools.
Superintendent Zimmers has taken
every possible step to secure the
safety of the pupils of the schools in
case of fire. The children in all the
buildings of the city are to be given
regular fire drills through the year
and during the past week members of
the Kenosha fire department have
made a careful examination of the
fire escapes on the Central building
and they report them to be in perfect
condition. It is not thought that fire
escapes are needed on the smaller
buildings as the perfect system of fire
drills makes it possible for the build
ings to be emptied in comparatively
short space of time. The new Durkee
building will be equipped with the
most modern fire protection and it
will also have an abundance of fire
escapes to safe guard the children.

City Of MayviIIe to Adopt Keno
sha's Plan Of Owning Her
Own Water Works.
MAYOR HERE TO INVESTIGATE.
Mayor Barwig, of Mayvi11e, Greatly
Encouraged by Success of Municipal
Plant in this City.

The city of Mayvi11e has heard OF
the municipal water plant in Kenosha
and the success of the local plant has
so appealed to the city officials Of May
vile that it has been practically de-
cided that that city will adopt the
plan which has been so successfully
carried out in Kenosha.
In order to make a complete inves-
tigation of the workings of the NUM-
cipa1 plant Mayor Barwig of Mayvi11e,
came to Kenosha Tuesday and he was
entertained by Mayor James German
and the other city officials last night
and today.
Mayor Barwig was taken for drive
over the city and shown the many in
dustries and the great territory that
is being covered by the mains of the
Kenosha Water company. He was
then taken to the model engine and
pump room of the company and
shown the workings of the municipal
system. Mayvi11e has long been in
need of a better system for the sup
ply of the water of the city and after
a great deal of discussion the people
have decided to take up a plan for
municipal ownership. Mayor Barwig
stated that Kenosha had been set be-
fore the people of his city as the one
city in Wisconsin which had perfect
municipal water plant and that he was
more than assured by what he had
seen while here that the half had not
been told in regard to the Kenosha
system.
The success of the Kenosha plant is
serving as beacon light to the pro-
motors of municipal ownership and
the fame of this city as the home of
the plant has gone far and wide
throughout the country.
Last summer aldermen from the
city of Bellevue, Ohio, came to look
into the lighting system of our city.
They also saw the municipal water
plant and as a result of this visit the
agitation for municipal plant has
been started in Bellevue, and in the
near future the people of that city
will vote in favor of building such a
plant and the Kenosha plant will be
used as a model.
The head executive of Mayvi11e was
1avishly entertained while in Keno
sha. He was the guest of honor at the
meeting of the Parker and Peck club
last night and made the principal
speech at the meeting.

FOUGHT OVER A WOMAN.
Two Travelling Men Have Hot Fight
on Pine Street.


The people who reside on Pine
street, one of the little streets on the
North side, were called upon to wit
ness tragedy few days ago. Two
men had come to Kenosha from Chi
cago to see the same woman and the
fact that the woman was married and
had husband working in one of the
factories of the city failed to prevent
the men from going to her residence.
1t is claimed that the two men had
been rivals for years, and they met at
the home on Pine street and hosti1i-
ties were begun at once. 1t was no
maud1in street fight but each man had
blood in his eye and the battle which
ensued was worthy of a better end.
The woman in the case threw herself
between her contesting lovers but she
was pushed aside and the men BACKED
each others eyes in great shape. It
was an affair of honor and after one
of the men had been beaten almost
into a jelly he left the house and took
a carriage for the Northwestern rail
way station. The other man left
few minutes later and both got out of
the city before the matter was re-
ported to the police. It was impossi-
bic to secure the names of the men.

THE following comment on Senator
Spooner's reply to Lincoln Steffens,
taken from the Chicago Chronicle, is.
interesting as showing the estimation
in which Mr.. Steffens is held among
the people who know him best:
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin has
thought it worth while to make an ex-
tended reply to the insinuation made
by one Lincoln Steffens in a maya
zine article that his (Spooner' seat
in the United States Senate was
bought for him by ''the big business
men" of Wisconsin.
"The Senator observes and men
tons the fact that the writer is care
full not to say that the seat was bought
or how it was bought or who bought
it. He observes that there is no dis
tinct charge nothing but vague in
situation so ski11fuhy phrased as to
seem to the reader who does not take
the trouble to ana1yze it like definite
affirmation.
But the Senator appears to have
overlooked the fact that the writer is
a professional 1ibe1er, that he makes a
practice of seeming to make charges
without making them, and that in
evading responsibility he habitua11y
deals in insinuations.
These facts have come to be gen.
orally recognized. The criticism in
vited by Senator Spooner's reply is,
therefore, that it fights flea with a
sledge hammer. 1t makes too much
of the agile flea and attaches too
much importance to the insect It is
waste of strength and an unneces-
sary battering of a good hammer. .

China, has come to Kenosha for visit
with her aunt Mrs. O. M. Ca1kins.
Mrs. Beahan was former student

sence has brought to light the pretty
story of her romantic courtship and
marriage.

class of 1888 at Kemper Hall and after
leaving the hall she engaged in the
work as teacher. Two years ago
she joined a party of teachers who

United States Miss O'Nei11 met ]. F.
Beahan dashing officer in the United
States Army who had served with the

and her marriage to the soldier fol-
lowed soon after. When the volunteer
forces were mustered out Mr.. Beahan
accepted position with the Chinese
Government.
Mrs. Beahan will remain several

MADE SUCCESSFUL TRIP.
August Baumgardt and Two Others.
Make Journey in New Invention.

he
August Baumgardt, the Kansas
farmer, who invented the new patent
life boat and built it in shed at the
west end of Eighth street, expanding
nearly-S1, 800, and who was caught in
the engine of the boat, made a sue
cessfu1 trip to Kenosha this morning.
With head sea and wind blowing
quite brisk1y from the southeast he
started out with the strange looking
craft, attracting much attention along
the docks. On the boat with him we're
Lloyd Iurnbull and George Hodges.
This noon Mr. Turnbu11 returned
from Kenosha. To a reporter he said
that the trip was made in little over
two hours. The engines worked first
rate and seas washed over the boat
but IN no instance could he say there
was any danger. When off Berryvi11e
it was exceedingly rough, but the
liteboat did not seem to mind it. The
old man said that he had demonstra-
ted that the ship would not sink at
any rate and is confident she will
stand any kind of sea. The trip to
Chicago has not been given up, he
will go from Kenosha to Chicago and
thence to- St. Louis and the ocean.

CAUGHT IN SAND PIT
Misses Amy Frost and Jennie
Vinegar Come Near Losing
Their Lives in Quicksand
NARROW ESCAPE OF GIRLS

Miss Amy Frost and Miss Jennie
Vinegar, two well known young la
dies of the Kenosha High school mar
row1y escaped losing their lives by
being engu1fed in pit of quicksand
along the lake shore north of Kenosha
Monday afternoon and only the great
est presence of mind on the part of
the young women made their escape
possible.
The two young women had gone
over to Jacobs Island to get some
leaves to be used for decorating pur-
poses. They left their vehicle just off
the island and walked over to get the
leaves. They finally walked down
along the lake shore and thinking it
would be easier to walk along the
sand, they stepped out into a pit of
quicksand. In a second the young
women had sunk to their knees in the
sand. They shouted for aid but there
was no one in the neighborhood.
They continued to sink in the treach-
erous sands and finally Miss Frost be-
gan to work her way toward the
firmer beach. With great effort she
managed to get her foot on the firm
sand of the beach and pulled herself
from the mire. After this she secured
a limb of a tree and with this to aid
her she pulled Miss Vinegar out Of
her peri1ous position.
The young ladies were terribly
frightened by their experience. This
bank of quicksand should be plainly
marked at once, to prevent the recur-
renee of such an accident.
