CAN'T CATCH TROUT
Kenosha Fishing Boats Forced to Give
Up TemporariIy Big business


Up Temporarily Big Business
During the coming six weeks the
many fish tugs that have been plying
out OF Wisconsin lake ports will prac-
tlcally be out of commission, as this
morning the closed season for trout
and Whitefish commenced and will be
IN force until Dec. Is. The steam tug
William Engel, owned and operated
by capt. Tommy Nader. did not make
her accustomed trip into the lake this
morning, not on account Of the closed
season, however, but rather because
OF the heavy seas running.
Inc EngeI and the other fishing
craft IN the harbor expect to make
trips into the lake every fine day dur
ing the closed season, as what are
known as sinners do not come under
the law and large catches can be
made.
Inc past season has been compare
tlvely prosperous one at this port,
large catches Of trout having been
made throughout the summer with
the exception of the extremely hot
portions. Whitefsh have been more
numerous the past season than in
some years. A few years ago that
flsh disappeared almost entirely
from Lake Michigan, and it was
on rare occasions only that one
could be picked up here. The
past summer, however, has been an
exception, and large numbers were
caught. More are expected next
year. and some of the fishermen be-
lieve that in few years they will be
as plentiful as are the trout today.

FOR ZION
Collegiate institution to be Added
to the Educational Insti-
tutions at Zion
SCHOOLS TO BE FREE TO ALL

With the view of making her educa-
tional institutions rank with the
greatest schools and colleges of
America, Zion City is building up a
school system which occupies a
unique position in the world. With a
total attendance of 2, 800, all Zion edu-
cational institutions, from the kinder
garten to the college, admit pupils
and students without direct cost.
The system is founded on.the idea of
giving to rich and poorl alike, equal
educational advantages.
In no other phase of the life of
Zion is her unity better exemplifed
than in the conduct of her schools.
Religious training is the basic prin-
cip1e of the system, but the strictly
practical side of the swork is not
neglected in any feature. The study
of the bible is placed at the head of
the various curricula, but no student
in the college is allowed stonmake his
proficiency in this studys'an excuse
for his failure in others.
The Zion City schools are support
ed by payment of tenth of a 1.-THE
by all members of theI church. This
is equal to a tax of per cent on the
income of members but it is the only
payment req uired and all members
are admitted to equal footing in all
the schools. This tax of per cent

only to keep the schools running but
to permit Of their rapid upbuilding.
The Zion schools are attended by a
varied company of young people.
representatives. of no less than!eighty
different countries are studying side
by side. Among them are Chinese,
Russians, German, French and
Japanese children and young men
and women.
AT the close of the last school year
thirty-three students were graduated
from the preparatory school. The
first graduating class of Zion will
probably receive their diplomas next
year. 1t is planned to establish Zion
university during next year. This
institution will obtain state charter
and DR.. Dowie and his aids hope and
believe it will become one of the great
educational institutions of the world.
It's official name will bethe University

TO BRIDGE RIVER
Northwestern Railway Planning to
Build Spur to the Allen Tannery

Northwestern Railway Planning to
Build Spur to the Allen Tannery
Engineers of the Chicago & North
Western Railway company are at
work at the city hall today making a
plan for the building of a spur track
for the use of the N. r. Aliens Sons
company. The track will be an I'M
usual one on account of the fact that
it will cross the Kenosha river. The
company is planning to build high
bridge across the river near the bark
yards of the company. AS yet no or
dinance has been presented to the
city council for the building of the
line but it is possible that this will
make its appearance at the next meet
ing.
In the meantime the council is ask.
ing some favors of the North Western
and it is probable that the aldermen
will insist on the granting of these
favors before any further favors are
granted the company by the city.

Kenosha independent Telephone
Company May Voluntarily
Give up Citizens Plant
WOULD BETTER CONDITIONS
Prominent Director of the Company
States That 1t is Only Seeking
the Best Thing for Kenosha
Telephone Users

The directors OF the Kenosha Inde-
pendent Telephone Company may
make a voluntary surrender to the
city of the franchise which was
granted to the Citizens Telephone
and Telegraph Company and instead
of this fanchise the new company
may ask that the city council grant a
new franchise for the uniting of the
lines of the companies now doing
business in Kenosha. This is the
statement made to City Attorney
John G. Slater by one of the directors
of the company.
In commenting on the situation the
director said: 1.-THE Kenosha men who
have consented to act as directors in
this new telephone company have
done so only with the idea of provid-
ing for the people of Kenosha the best
possible telephone service. We be-
lieved that this could best be done by
a union of the two exchanges under
one management and for this reason
we consented to act with the telephone
men in the formation of the new COM
pany. A glance at the directorate of
the company will show to the most
skeptica1 that the company is abso-
lutely in the control of local men and
that it must remain under such con-
troll for several years at least This
matter of the cry against the combina-
ton Of the lines we believe to be
largely brought about by men who
are not interested in the best te1e-
phone service in Kenosha but who
would profit by the two exchanges be-
ing operated sing1y. If the people of
the city believe that we are acting
wrong in uniting these companies let
the council declare the franchise
null and void"
ShoIld the local company ask for a
new franchise on straight out and
out business proposition of furnishing
phones on single exchange to the
people there is no doubt but that the
franchise ordinance would be given
every consideration. There is some
question however as to the time that
this franchise should have been asked.
Many people believe that the city
should have been asked to act before
the com bination was formed.
The directors of the new company
held meeting this afternoon but it
is not known that this subject was
taken up.
Of course if the council should re-
woke the franchise of the Citizens
company there would still remain the
franchise under which the Wisconsin
company has been working for so
many years and the new company
could continue to operate under that
franchise.
People who have taken an interest
in the combination, however, hold
a new franchise would be a much
more satisfactory arrangement.

Strange Story Of the Musical
Education Of a Little Ke-
nosha italian Girl
TO WE'D ITALIAN N0BLEMAN
Former Kenosha Italian Girl Makes
a Bri11ian Success in Italy and
Receives a Diploma From
Verdi Conservatory

Musical circles in Kenosha are
watching with great deal of interest
for the American debut of Miss Fran
ceska Bisceglia, former Kenosha
girl who has just returned to America
after having received the high honor
of being granted diploma from the
Verdi Conservatory at Milan. The
honor is the greatest that the Italian
government can bestow upon an
artistic.
The romance of the life of Miss
Bisceglia is most unusual one.
Seven years ago she was residing in
Kenosha and her father was poor
tailor, employed to do odd jobs for the
Kenosha shops. He found that this
was no place for him to find employ
ment, and taking his family he moved
to Chicago. A year later Miss
Bisceg1ia was singing at little enter
tainment in the Italian quarter in
Chicago when Gastone Gottscha1k,
renowned Chicago musician, happened
to hear her.
Gottschalk invited her to his stndio
and at once took upon himself the
work of training her voice. She had
neither money nor influential friends,
but the master told her that he would
attend to her training. She remained
under the tute1age of the Chicago
teacher for year and half when
Gottscha1k insisted that she must be
sent abroad to study. The father was
forced to mortgage his home il Chi
cago IN order to provide the money
and Miss Bisceg1ia went to Italy the
next year and her triumphs at the
conservatory followed. 1t is claimed
that she is the only girl from Amer
lea who was ever granted diploma
from the conservatory.
After she had completed her work
she had a successful debut in Milan
and then started for home. During
her stay in Italy Miss Bisceg1ia be-
came engaged to Count Eduardo
Viancini, member of one of the old
royal houses of Italy and an officer in
the Italian army. It is understood
that the young lady has declined to
wed until she has made sufficient
money from her music to repay her
father for his sacrifice.
Miss Bisceglia is coming up to Ke-
nosha in short time for few days
visit with her former girl friends
here after which she will make her
American debut in Chicago early in
December.
She has already mastered ''La Ira
viata," Verdi; "La Boheme," PUG
cini; ''Manon Lescant," Puccini;
"Cava11eria Rusticana," Mascagni;
"Pag1iacci, Leoncaval1o; 'Faust,"
Gounod; "Lohengrin, Wagner; "La
Va11y," Catalini; "Manon Lescant,"
Massenet; "Roberto il Diavolo, Mey-
erbeer; don Pasquale," Donizetti.
Miss Bisceglia is of charming per-
sona1ity, and her voice is one which
will undoubtedly be heard in the best
opera houses of this country ere long.

Rock Drilling Contest.

One Of the biggest miners rock drill
ling contests ever held in the west is
planned as one of the features of the
coming meeting Of the American min
ing congress in Ell Paso, Tex, on Nov.
II. These contests are very novel and
attract the best drillers from the yari-
GUS big camps of the country. As the
prizes will be large and the best drill
1ers will be attracted thereby, it is ex-
peeted that this event alone will at
tract a large number Of people to the

LIFE IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
The Way In Sickness and Old Age
Was PitiaDle Indeed.


Concerning the life of poor people
during the middle ages a writer says:
TN those bygone days Of feudal rule
the jewellers in the country were al
most invariably serfs, bound to the es-
tate on which they were born and I'M
der the absolute rule of the owner.
They were possibly better fed than at
the present day, for butter, cheese and
eggs were plentiful, and the fertile soil
of Italy supplied them with abundance
Of fruit and vegetables. The poor man
held his plot of ground by the tenure
Of SO many days in the year OF service
to his lord. But in sickness or old age
his case was very pitiable, and we have
curious proof Of this in letter writ
ten in 1866 by the mother Of Filippo
Struzzi, at Florence. She is speaking
Of some old people on her estate In the
country 'Piero and Norma ella are

ing thought of the good lady, who was
pious and highly esteemed, friend of
the Medici, but it is firm resolution
IN her own mind. A few months later
she writes to her son. sPiero is still

CITY PLANT PAID
Report of Municipality Owned
Lighting Plant at Detroit
is of interest Here
CITY SAVED MANY THOUSANDS

Detroit seems to have made its mt-
nicipa1 lighting plant pay, and al
though comparison of figures for a
city the size of Detroit and one the
size of Kenosha is rather far-fetched,
it may be interesting as showing the
difference in cost of lighting. The
figures are taken from the tenth an
nual report of the Detroit public light
ing commission, which manages the
municipal electric lighting plant:
Gross average cost per arc light last
year, Detroit. ......................$ 50 "a
Average cost per arc light last year,
Kenosha. ........... ............... 70 col
Number of arc lights operated last
year, Detroit. .................2,818

Total cost for arc lights, Detroit. 167,237 81
Total paid Kenosha G. & E. L. Co.
for arc lights, Kenosha. ...... ~. 9,8O8 90
The total cost in Detroit includes
not only the operating expenses, but
the depreciation of property, dis
carded machinery and apparatus, in
terest on investment at per cent,
sinking fund and lost taxes tthe
nLAOuAL lAC lily WOu1u ACNCAVO Ill

Furthermore, the Detroit plant fur.
nishes full 1000 candle-power lights,
while it is estimated that many of the
lamps here do not produce more than
200-cand1e power, although 2,000-can-
die power is contracted for.
THE decade has demonstrated that
public lighting commission can do
the public lighting we'll and econom-
ically," says the Detroit report. "The
employees are as active in the per-
Torrance Of their duties as are the
employees of any private establish
ment in the city, for they are aware
that only by doing their duty can they
retain their situations. AS few
changes have taken place in the per-
sonnet of the working force as in any.

lishment. Appointments, swhere pos
