Manitoba and the territories, now be-

OCTOBER RASPBERRIES.

W. S. Cole, the Pleasant Prairie
fruit grower, sent peculiar bouquet
to this Office yesterday, which is GER
tain1y curiosity, even for this ex.
ceptiona1ly late season. The bou-
quet consisted of number of long
branches from raspberry bush, ca oh
branch loaded with clusters Of the
fipe berries. The berries we're Of full
size and of fine flavor and could not
have been surpassed by any grown in
the height of the raspberry season.
The berries were grown on a new
variety of raspberry bushes, which
w. S. and w. B. Cole have been de-
ve1oping at their nursery, and which
promises to supp1ant the older varie-
ties of the berry. The new variety is
cross between a black and a red
raspberry and combines the best quail
tiles Of each.

Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

The reserving of tickets for the Y.
M. G. A. Star Entertainment Course
will occur at the Association office,
Thursday evening at O'Clock. There
has been a large advance sale and
strong efforts are beings.made to in
sure the largest attendance the course
has ever had. The entertainments of
the past four years have been of such
meritorious character that the patron
age should greatly exceeds previous
attendance.
The Y. M. c. A. risks an annual ex-
pense Of $575 to promote the enter
tainments and should not be asked to
incur loss for lack of patronage. The
course fills a great lack in the social
and intellectual atmosphere of the
city and the people should express
their appreciation by large response.

HONOR FOR sAGER.
Attorney George Sager Named to
Succeed Joseph Folk
in st. Louis.
RESIDED HERE MANY YEARS.

George Sager, an old Kenosha boy,
was on Saturday nominated by the
Republicans of st. Louis to succeed
Joseph Folk, who is now running fol
the office of governor of that state.
Mr.. Sager is the candidate for states
attorney in the county and it is
claimed that he stands an excellent
chance of election.
Mr.. Sager is son of Captain Geo.
Sager, one of the well known pioneers
of Kenosha, and he was born anu
raised in Kenosha. He received his
early education in the schools of the
city and completed his work in the
study of law in the University OF
Michigan. He is now 80 years of age
| but he has made an enviab1e record
as lawyer in the courts of ST. Louis
and the state of Missouri.
During the recent fight against the
grafters of st. Louis, Sager has been
Mr.. Folks right hand man and the
people OF St. Louis believe that the
former Kenosha boy will carry on the
work that was started by Mr.. Fol-
and on this account both Democrats
and Republicans are p1edging him
their support.
The convention which nominated
Sager was distinctly an anti-graft
convention and the platform, which
was practically written by Sager, de-
c1ares in no uncertain words for the
continuance of the war on municipal
and legislative graft.
While ST. Louis county is largely
Democratic, there was great fight
to secure the nomination for states
attorney on the Republican ticket, as
it is claimed that the party will be
able to carry the county this year.
The many friends of Mr.. Sager in
Kenosha will hope for his success at
the polls next month.

Sudden Breaking of Engine At
Power Plant Cripples the
Street Railway Service.
ACCIDENTS FOLLOW FAST.
New Generator is Installed But it
Promptly sBurns Out and Cars
May Not Run for Several Days.s

The people of Kenosha had a
chance to discover the value of a
street railway system 1ast2night, for
just after O'Clock the great engine
and generator of the street railway
company was disabled, and,ever since
that time the people have been walk
ing. Just how long they will have
to walk is not certain at this time for
troubles did not come sing1y, and
an hour after the breakingof the one
generator the new generatcf was burn
ed out, and the company is now cong
pletely crippled. Expert machinists
have been summoned to the city ia
an effort to repair the damage done,
but it may be several days before the
engines and generators scan be start
ed again.
In the meantime buses have been
put on the streets to carry the pas
sengers from the south side to the
junction of the interurban cars, and
the remainder of the people are
walking.
The break of the big engine at the
power house came without any warn
ing. Engineer John Anderson, who
had been running the .engine, had
just oiled it up and chad stepped to
one side when there was crash like
an exp1osion-the wheels stopped and
every car on the system came to a
stand still. There was no seeming
cause for the breaking of the engine,
but it had STOPPED with such sud-
denness that the great iron plates
were broken to pieces, and the big fly
wheel of solid iron was torn asunder
and every spoke of it cracked or
broken.
The engine was a complete wreck
and the generator, which had been
run entirely by the engine, was al
most as badly damaged.
Engineer Anderson and carpenter
working near by the engine had mar
row escape from being killed or SER
iously hurt by the pieces of broken
iron.
AS soon as the engine broke an
emergency generator which stood
near by was put into commission and
a new engine was started to run it,
but it had made less than a hundred
revolutions when it burned out and
the company was left without any
power whatever.
Efforts are being made to secure
new machinery to take the place of
the broken generators, and it is pos
sible that it can be secured late today.
The accident did not affect the diff
ierent circuits Of the electric lights,
as the dynamos supplying this cur
rent were not connected with the en-
CINE. The financial loss to the COM
pany from the accident will be a
large one.

verdict of guilty. Weinseimer was
charged by George J. Essig, a master
plumber, with extorting $2,700 from
him under threat not to permit work
to continue on the Chatsworth apart
ment house here unless the money
were paid.
The jury retired late in the after
noon and did not agree until just be-
fore midnight. Weinseimer's counsel
said that he would at once appeal the
case on the ground that the verdict
was contrary to the evidence.
