CROP BULLETIN.
Cold and Wet Weather Has Retarded
Growth Considerably.

The excessive rains which were gen
era1 over the state during the week
ending the 10th continued until the
18th, thoroughly saturating the soil
and flooding low lands. In some sec
tons corn and grain fields were badly
damaged by waship e, while prepara-
tions for corn and potatoes were de-
layed in all portions Of the state. The
latter part of the week was more fav-
orable, and work was resumed on
sandy upland on Saturday. Heavy
soils are still too wet to work.
Growing crops made very little pro-
gress during the first of the week on
account of the cold, cloudy weather,
but during the latter part of the week
the increased temp erature with the
much needed sunshine caused all veg
getation to come forward rapidly.
The soil is thoroughly soaked and
warm weather with full sunshine is
needed.

Members Of Council Fight Shy
of New Railway Proposition
With Former Promoter
COMPANY MUST MAKE TERMS
With Haynes in the Directorate the
New Company Stands But Little
Chance of Succeeding. Coun.
Gil May Regulate Fares. /.

The fact that Patrick F. HAYNES
who was one of the promoters of the
Haynes and C1ausen ordinance in
Kenosha is connected with the com
pany which is now seeking to build a
line West from Kenosha has had a
noticeable effect on the chances Of
the company securing franchise
and today members of the council
have openly expressed themselves as
being opposed to granting franchise
to any company with which Mr..
Haynes is connected. The right or
wrong of this decision may or may
rot be questioned but the fact re-
mains that this condition exists and
it is probable that the ordinance pro-
posed by the new company will have
stormy path through the council.
President Lutzenknrchen and other
men interested in the franchise and
in the building of the road have in
sisted that Mr.. Haynes was not direct
~ connected with the company but
his appearance at the meeting Of the
officials of the company and the city
council committee on Monday has had
a decided effect. Haynes insists that
he came to Kenosha simply on real
estate business and that he had as
sisted the officers of the company
simply in friendly and not in bust
ness manner.
The demands of the company for a
right of way through the city have
not been met with as much en-
thusiasm as was expected and it is
evident that the business men of the
city, while DESTROYS of securing a line
to the West of Kenosha do not desire
the line to be built at the cost of the
city streets and if the company is to
secure the franchise they will have
to make other and greater conces-
sions. The council committee may
report the ordinance to the council
but it is certain that it can not be
passed in the present unsatisfactory
condition. One of the members of
the council committee has stated that
the committee is planning to get
greater concessions for the city by
demanding that the city council have
the right to regulate the rates of fares
to be charged by the company to
passengers coming from the rural
districts to the city but it Is not
thought possible that the company
will accede to any such a demand.
The officials of the company seem
to be decidedly 1ukewarm over the
matter and the fact the company has
been asked to bring a new franchise
seems to have given them the opinion
that the city is willing to make ali
sorts of concessions to the company
to get the line to the West. AS much
as the city is in need of this line the
members of the council will not sell
the streets of the city to the company
for mere mess of pottage. Railway
experts who have considered the
matter insist that the franchise will
be most valuable one that will be
eagerly sought for in years and for
this reason the members of the coun-
Gil insist that the company should
give the city a fair deal in the
matter.

of Malone, which we're directly across
the tracks.
BY this time crowd of people had
gathered and the unconscious form of
the switchman was removed from the
track and the ambulance summoned.
DR.. William Pugh assisted in taking
the man to the hospital, and later he
was aided by DR.. William M. Farr,
the surgeon of the company. After
few hours Malone was removed to his
home, and this morning it is stated
that he is entirely out of danger.
The escape of Malone was most
remarkable one, and the fact that the
mans life was saved was due entirely
to the presence of mind of Engineer
Kent.

A WELL managed public bath house
would be real benefit to the people
of Kenosha during the coming hot
months, but at present there is no
prospect of our having one. If the
council can not see it's way clear to
building bath house it could at least
set off part of the lake front as a
public bathing beach and give the
men and boys chance to battle with
out violating the law.

Women's Feet.

The European papers tell of a
curious custom among travelling
women. 1t appears that the
women when staying at hotels or
the like do not care to exhibit to
the passers along the corridors
the exact size of their feet, so they
carefully carry with them a couple
of pairs of tiny, delicate shoes,
which, instead of the ones they are
wearing, they place outside their
doors for the servant to take down
and clean. All the big boot shops
in Paris now make q speciality of
this tiny footgear, and a pair or
two form a portion of the trous-
seau of every up-to-date bride.
Madrid women are said to have
the smallest feet; Peruvian wom-
