Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Rail-
way Company Licensed to do
Business in Wisconsin.
FROM KENOSHA TO MILWAUKEE.
Electric Railway Company Files Articles of
Incorporation Placing Capital
Stock at 100000.

The Chicago and Milwaukee Elect
rio railway company on Wednesday
filed articles of incorporation with
the Secretary of State. The com
pany announces that it has capital
stock of $500, 600, and the purpose of
the organization is to build an elect
ric railway between Chicago and Mid
Waukee.
The directors and incorporating
stockholders are all Chicago men, the
stock being held by them as follows:
Albert G. Frost, 1906 shares, 5000, 600;
George M. Seward, / share, 500;
Charles B. Wood, 1Ashare, 500; Fay
cite S. Munro, 1 share, 500; Horace
S. Oakley, share, 800.
The proposed line is to be built
from the south line of the stown of
Pleasant Prairie in this county to
Milwaukee, passing through Racine,
Kenosha and Milwaukee counties.
The filing of the articles seems to
indicate that there has at last been a
union between the interests of the
Chicago and Milwaukee and the Chi
cago, Kenosha and Milwaukee Elect
ric Railway companies. Men who
have been interested in the latter
company are now named as stockho1-
ders in the new company. The ANAL
gamation of these interests makes a
step toward the completion of the
inter-urban. lines which have been
planned for SO many years.
The officers of the Chicago, Keno
sha and Milwaukee company who
were residents of Kenosha claim that
they simply acted, in that capacity
for the purpose of completing the or
ganization of the road, and that they
have no knowledge of the present
plans of the. new company. They
state, however, that there is no doubt
but that a union of interests has been
affected as this was the original plan
of the organizers of the company.
The organization of the company
brings up new problem, and that is
the building of the line north from
Kenosha as it is known that the
Beggs' interests have refused to form
any union with the lines south of Ke-
nosha, and it is more than probable
that the new Wisconsin corporation
will be forced to build line to Mil
waulzee which will practically parallel
the Beggs lines.
The Chicago and Milwaukee com
pany has been incorporated in the
state of Illinois for a number of years
and the company is now operating the
line between Chicago and Waukegan.
It has been understood that the line
would in due time take possession of
any line built between Waukegan and
Kenosha and this is the cause of the
union of the companies.
The fact that Mr.. Arnold has an
nounced that he will build tracks on
South Exchange street this year
shows that he is getting in readiness
to greet the coming of the new line
and that there will be no trouble in
affecting an entrance to Kenosha.
Before snow flies again the Kenosha
people will have the privileges of an
interurban system stretching all the
way from Chicago to Milwaukee.

GETS A COMMISSION
RoyHoIderness OF This City, is Gradu-
ated From West Point With
High HOn0rs.
IS NOW A SECOND LIEUTENANT

Lieutenant Roy NJ. Ho1derness, u.
5. A., is new title that has been be-
stowedtupon former well known Ke-
nosha boy and he will be in Kenosha
next Monday to spend four months
furlough with his parents and other
friends and relatives in Kenosha.
Lieutenant Ho1derness has just been
graduated from the United States
Military Academy at West Point.
He completed the course with high
honors and is now in line for advance
tnent in army circles.
Lieutenant Ho1derness was APP
pointed to West Point by Congress-
man Cooper four years ago and he
has made great record while in the
Military School. At the close of the
second year he won high honors as
the leader of his class and was ex-
cused from all examinations during
the rest of his course. During his
last two years his work had been of
such high nature that he had re-
ce1ved repeated compliments from his
superior officers.
7, AS an honor man, Lieutenant Hold
erness will receive ;every considera-
ton from the higher officers in the
army.
Lieutenant Ho1derness was a gradu-
ate of the Kenosha High School, and
while in school here he was one of
the most popular members of his
class. He was leader in athletics
as well as in a scholarship.
The new lieutenant will not be as
signed to any special post in the army
until next October and it is probable
that he will spend the most of his
time in Kenosha.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
Flames Cause Damage to the Amount
OF $4,000 at Union Grove at an
Early Hour Friday Morning.

The little city of Union Grove just
over the Racine County line, had the
most disastrous fire in it's history at
two O'Clock this morning, when fire
broke out in the Meyers Opera House
and before the flames could be ex-
tinguished whole block of the bust
ness portion had been wiped out, en-
failing a loss of fifteen thousand dol
lars with only partial insurance.
Among the buildings burned were the
Meyers Opera House, the Asby Hotel
belonging to John Asby, formerly OF
Racine, the saloon owned by one
Willie and his residence, two horses
and all the vehicles belonging to the
Hotel Livery.
The origin of the fire is complete
mystery, for when the people of the
sleepy little city were awakened to
fight the approach of the flames, the
Opera House was a mass of flames,
and without making an effort to save
the building the fremen with the one
chemical engine set to work to make
an effort to save the surrounding
buildings. 1t was no easy task and
before it was accomplished a bucket
brigade of citizens had been called
into service. All the buildings
touched by the fire were frame build
ings and they were dry as finder.
For time It looked as if the entire
city would be burned to the ground.
but the firemen managed to confne
the flames to the single block.
The loss has been estimated at if
teen thousand dollars, but it is posi-.
BILE that it will be greater when the
estimates are revised. The insur.
ance on the buildings is not known al
this time, but it is said that it only
partially covers the loss.

FOURTH OF JULY PICNIC
Kenosha and Racine People to Gather at
Petrifying Springs.

By it's central location and beauti-
full grounds, the 4th of July ce1ebra-
ton at the Petrifying Springs,
Somers, promises to take on more
than local gathering. 1t will be the
reunion spot for the old and new set
tiers of Racine and Kenosha cities
andscounties, and great preparations
are being made to entertain the crowd
that is expected. The fact that ar
rangements have been made TO convey
passengers from the Pike river cross
ing of the Electric Ry. to and from
the grounds will make it possible for
many Racine and Kenosha people to
enjoy the days outing with very little
expense. A large platform will be
erected under the towering oaks from
which the programme will be given.
Old settlers and their friends from
the two counties will be accorded
chairs upon the stand, that they may
enjoy the day in comfort. The adj
dress of the day by Hon. Ogden H.
Feathers, will be given at / p. M.
Thosewho have had the pleasure of
hearing this gentleman pronounce
him second to none in the state.
Come and hear an grafton full of
patriotism.
The Declaration of independence
as read by Mrs. Lieber, is seemingly
relieved of much of the dryness of
that highly priced old document.
Patriotic songs will be sung by a
quartette, while Schu1te's full band
will keep the day aglow with their
finest selections.
The base ball game for a prize Of
$40 between the Kenosha Grays and
Racine Refrigerators will be played
in the forenoon.
Foot, sack and potato races and
Foresters competitive drill will make
up the afternoon entertainment,
while those who care to enjoy re-
fresl1ing hour can trip the light fan
tastic to their hearts content under the
shaded nook upon smooth platform
erected for the day. Schu1te's music
during the afternoon, Mutters & Ores
sci band during the evening"
The ladies Of the community will
spare no pains to have enough of the
good things on hand to satisfy all
those who desire a good dinner or
supper. So arrange to spend your

Although the tricks of Cupid since the dawn

for Colorado widow to first become known as
having taken advantages of the liberties accore-
ed her set for 1904. Newspapers have with held
her name but her almost persuasive letter to her
desired victim" follows:
Dear sirI saw your photo in one of the

it very closely. 1t is a very striking face and
impresses me most favorably. BY way of intro
duction will say that am Is years old, a wo-

fair and very attractive WILL if you desire

employers.
Il note that you are soon to sail for the Phil
ippines. should like very much to go to the

lent housekeeper.
please let me hear from you by return mail
if possible, for if we go, should like few days
in which 10 prepare to make the long journey.

All of which brings back the warning of the
elder Weller to his son: "Samivel, beware of vid-
ders." In the Colorado case, however, it is I'M
derstood that the typewriter is not mortgaged;
and the stenographer will have to look elsewhere
for transportation, for when the man sailed last
week from San Francisco his wife accompanied
him and carried the pocketbook.

IAN Anxious Inquirer" writes the Albu-

me the proper way to spell the name of that
which Russia and Japan are making all this rue
ton about Sometimes see it spelled Korea
sometimes it is Corea, and sometimes Koreo
Which is the right way, or can you take your
choice ?"
Websters dictionary spells it Corea," the
Standard dictionary gives both &c" and *" as
correct, but there is no authority, so far as we
know, for making the word end with an 90"
While there is some question as to the status
of the various dictionaries in the matter of pro-
nunciation, Webster is still regarded throughout
the English speaking world as the court of last
resort in all questions of photography Therefore
if you would be sure you are right you should spell
it according to Webster" Corea."

meal may be worth the money, but won't it have

When the editor of a newspaper published in
a New York town exposed corruption in local
politics, the politicians intimidated many adver-
Users into withdrawing patronage and declared
that they would drive him out of town. But the
Roman Catholic priest threw bomb-she into
the camp of the ringsters by announcing in
church, that he should give half his years salary
toward support. Of the editor, that he should take
in the paper, and this he hoped his Pensioners
would also do. II do this in the name of fair
play, of decency, and of common manhood" said
the clergyman. He is Protestant and | am a

Mrs. Mary Rogers of Bennington, Vermont,

The crime she committed was one of the most
atrocious in the calendar She lured her husband
into an unfrequented place and persuaded him to
play captive" She tied him securely, and then
by the help of her paramount chloroformed Rogers
and threw him into the river, where he was
drowned.
The murder was deliberate one, and COM
mitted in such a way as to almost preclude SYM
pathy for the woman.
But-she was a woman.
There are those who will say her crime has
unsexed her. and that she is entitled to no more
consideration than male murderer under like
circumstances.
Perhaps, but-she is a woman.
Already movement is started to save Mrs.
Rogers from the gallows. The innate chivalry of
manhood interferes to stop woman on the way
to the hangman. Sometimes, when chivary is
buried under apassion, as during the French rev.

way to the guilotine But magnanmity usually
