GONNERMANN is OUT
County Agent Retires from Office
After Fourteen Years of
Service For County
MICHAEL HENSGEN is NAMED
From Fridays Daily

One of the big surprises of the
present session of the Kenosha county
board was the retirement of Charles
II. Gonnermann who has served the
county for the past fourteen years as
county agent. Mr. Gonnermann will
retire on the first of next January and
he will be succeeded by Michael
Hensgen, a member of the board from
the eighth ward.
Plans had been made to re-e1ect Mr..
Gonnermann to the office for another
year but this morning he appeared
before the board and stated that he
would not accept the office for another
term under any consideration.
In announcing his retirement Mr..
Gonnermann reviewed at length the
duties of the office and told something
of what had been done since he &C
copied the office fourteen years ago.
At the time Mr.. Gonnermann was
first elected to the office there were
twenty-three paupers dependent on
the county and when he re1inquished
the office this morning he stated that
there was not single person receiv-
ing steady aid from the county. Mr..
Gonnermann in his va1edictory spoke
of the Importance of the office and
showed that the county could save
large sums of money by having the
right man as county agent.
In concluding he thanked the
members of the board for the many
favors that they had shown him and
assured the members that the new
official would receive every possible
aid from him in the future.
AS soon as Mr.. Gonnermann had de-
clined to accept reelection to the
office the board took a ballot on the
election of successor and Michael
Hensgen was selected on the first
ballot.

PUSH TUBE SYSTEM
Promoters of New Carrier Service
Between Chicago and Mil.
Waukee Want Franchise
KEN0SHA TO BE SUB-STATION

Another step has been taken toward
the carrying out of the plan for the
construction of a tube line between
Chicago and Milwaukee and in the
next few days the city council at Mil
yankee will be asked to grant fran
chise for the proposed line.
Money, heavy and light merchan-
disc and mail may be sent from one
city to the other in forty minutes
should the line be constructed. II
will cost nearly $5,O00,O0O.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
association of Milwaukee has been re-
quested to cooperate with promoters
of the tube system, the Universal
Pneumatic Transmission company,
Chicago, in obtaining a franchise
from the council. r. ]. Ruby, presi-
dent of the company, went to Milwau-
kee Wednesday and conferred with Of
ficia1s of the association. He said
that a franchise would be asked for
Immediately.
owe would have connections with
Racine, Kenosha and Waukegan and
other intermediate points," said Mr..
Ruby. "rhe tube would be eighteen
inches in diameter. It would cost over
$4,000, 900 and it would require six
months to lay it. Articles transmit
ted through the tube will have speed
of two miles per minute. +"
Until the perfection of the Dinspe1-
Stoetze1 high speed vacuum system,
which is controlled by the Universal
Pneumatic Transmission company,
such an idea as long distance pneu-
matte tube service was not considered
from strictly commercial operating
standpoint. Under present conditions
the prospects are rather favorable for
lightning express service which
will transmit packages distance of
a.. 5 miles between Chicago and Mil
waukee IN just forty minutes. 1t will
cost $62, 500 per mile, or nearly
$5,000 900 to build such line, but if
enough express business is guaranteed
by shippers construction work will be
at once commenced. Inasmuch as the
cost of operation and maintenance. is
small, and a rate will be made much
below the price charged by any COM
mon carrier, it is believed the COM
pany will not lack all the business it
can handle.
The right-of-way for a long distance
pneumatic tube line would cost very
little, as pipes can be laid under
ground without interfering with the
surface of the land for farm or other
purposes, while the expense of opera
ton is small enough to allow the COM
pany to make profit on carrying 500
pounds between Chicago and Mi1wau-
kee for IS cents. Tubes can be run
throughout the city to connect every
contracting merchant or shipper with
a central station, and the goods can
then be dispatched from Milwaukee to
Chicago or any intermediate point, it
being possible to send out carriers as
often as two minutes apart.
While the popularity of the system
i'll department stores and Industrial
is rapidly increasing,
it is IN the long distance mail and ex-
press business that the company ex-
poets to make its greatest success.

RACINE is SCORCHED.
Blaze Which Broke out in the T.
|. Harnett Store Causes a
Fire Loss of $4,000
MASONIC TEMPLE DAMAGED.

Fire nearly wiped out the handsome
Masonic temple in Racine late
Wednesday night and for time the
business district in the vicinity was
in danger. The structure is occupied
by the T. L. Harnett dry goods and
notion store, the offices of Drs. A. l..
Buchan and A. C. Williams, the
Masonic lodgerooms, and A. Olson,
merchant tailor.
The blaze broke out on the second
floor of the Harnett store and rapidly
spread to the Masonic hall Firemen
in entering the building broke plate
glass windows and several were struck
and cut. Assistant Fire Marshal
Blake was cut on the wrist, John
Jenista was dangerously cut on the
head, and Fireman John Stripp1e was
cut and narrowly escaped being
knocked from a ladder and killed.
After an hours hard work the fire.
men controlled the flames. The
damage to the Harnett stock, valued
at $50, 200, is estimated at SIS, 900 to
$4,000, and there is an insurance of
from $38, 900 to $4,000. Damage to
the building is estimated at $40, 900,
with $40, 600 insurance; damage to the
Masonic 1odgeroom from smoke is
possibly $500; to the offices of Drs.
Williams and Buchan, $500; to the
Olsen tailoring establishment, $500.
The total loss is about $50, 900. The
stock in tile Paris Fashion store
probably IS slightly damaged.

Mayor German Takes Up Matter
Of Securing Municipal Light
ing Plant in Kenosha.
EXPERTS SAY PLANT WILL PAY
Matter to be Brought Before Council
in Special Message From "His
Honor" and Early Action Urged.

Mayor James German is starting
the ball rolling to secure municipal
lighting plant for the city of Kenosha
and if the plans which he is promot-
ing are carried through he will be
able to get the work well under way
before the end of his administra ton.
In order to get start in this great
matter, ssthe mayor, at his own ex-
pense, has secured the advice of cleo
trica1 experts, who were brought from
Chicago to look over the conditions in
Kenosha and report to the mayor as to
the advisabi1ity of the city owning it's
own plant. The report of these men
is highly satisfactory to the mayor
and he has begun to agitate the plan
among the members of the common
council and other officials of the city.
At the present time the city is bound
hand and foot and the contract with
the Kenosha Gas and Electric COM
pany will not expire for two years, so
that it would not be possible for the
city to operate a plant before that
time. However, it is the intent of
the mayor to have the plant ready to
assume the business just as soon as
the present contract expires.
According to figures prepared by
the mayor, the city can own and oper-
ate it's own lighting plant at great
profit to the city. At the present
time the city is paying annually to
the Kenosha Gas and Electric COM
pany something like $4,000, and it is
openly asserted that the city is not
getting the light that it pays for.
Mayor German figures that this
$40, 900 wou1d.more than pay the rum
ming expenses of municipal plant
and would leave large balance, even
after the interest on the original in
vestment is paid. Careful examina-
ton shows that municipal lighting
plant could be operated in come ction
with the city water works at cost of
about $4,000 a year, and the mayor
states that he believes that plant
sufficiently large to answer all the de-
mands of Kenosha can be installed
for $40, 900. 1t would be necessary to
bond the city to secure this money for
the erection of the plant, but it is
thought that the bonds could be issued
at very low rate of interest and that
in few years the profits to the city
would be more than ample to meet the
payments as they came due.
Of course it is possible that the city
might compete with the company now
established for the supply of light on
commercial circuits, and If such is the
case the profits might be SO enlarged
as to make the plant as great money
maker as the municipal water plant
In few weeks Mayor German will
send to the council a message, in
which he will urge that the council
take some action to have committee
named to take up this matter and
make an effort to get some fgAres on
which the cost of the Plant can be es-
timated.
The success of the Kenosha munich
pal water plant has attracted the at
tention of the entire country to Ke-
nosha and it is thought that a lighting
plant would prove quite as successful.

FIRST DEER ARRIVES.
Kenosha Sees It's First Deer of the Year
Thursday, but it Goes to Salem.

u
Thursday, but it Goes to Salem.
Salem has outdistanced Kenosha
for the first shipment of deer from
the northern woods billed to Kenosha
county passed right through Kenosha
and was shipped to the village of
Salem. The deer was billed to George
Fildcamp and it was killed in the
region of Fisher Lake.
Reports are being received form
the Kenosha hunters and it seems
that the deer are not nearly so p1enti-
full as had been expected. One crowd
from Kenosha states that not single
deer has been seen, while in another
crowd of six members but three have
been killed and one man was fortunate
enough to get all them.
It is expected, however, that the
Kenosha men will stay right where
they are until they get their full
quota of the game.
