DOUBLES ITS STOCK.
Milwaukee Company Will Spend
Large Amount on Electric
Railway Lines.
PREPARE FOR COMPETITION.

The annual meeting of the Mi1wau-
kee Light, Heat and Traction COM
pany, which controls the operation of
the Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha
Electric Railway company, was held
in Milwaukee Monday afternoon and
at this meeting the company passed a
resolution increasing the capital
stock of the company from $500, 900 to
81, 100000.
It is stated that this large sum of
money to be raised by the sale of the
stock of the company will at once be
expended in improving the lines of
the company, and quite large
amount of it will be spent on the line
between Kenosha and Milwaukee.
For more than year Manager John
/. Beggs and his associates have been
seeking to find some plan by which
the running time between Kenosha
and Milwaukee can be reduced, and
IN order to secure such reduction it
has been found necessary to rebuild
portion of the line and secure a new
AAS At u way Sll d4S5 AlCu1uS Tic 11IlS.
The agents of the company have al
ready been at work to secure this
right of way and it is claimed that al
ready a portion of the concessions
needed have been secured.
1t is claimed that the Milwaukee
company fears competition from a
line from the south The surveyors
of the Chicago and Milwaukee Rail-
way company have mapped out a
right of way for line running all
the way from Chicago to Milwaukee,
and what is more to the point the
company seems to have money to build
the line. The route would give the
Chicago company an almost straight
route between Kenosha and Mi1wau-
kee and in this way they would be
able to lop more than half an hour off
the running time of the Begg's cars.
This competition may come during
the coming year and the improve
ments in the M. r. & K. road are
planned to meet it.

PETITIONS ARE OUT
Movement to Form a Humane
Society in kenosha is Now
Taking a Definite Form
MANY SIGN THE PETITIONS.

The movement to form a branch of
the State Humane society insKenosha
has at last taken a definite. sform and
petitions are being circulated sin the
city today to secure a 1istssofssmembers
for the society. Under the direction
OF the State Superintendent sR. H.
Whitehead of Milwaukee, the work
OF circulating the petition has been
taken up by ]. c. Karnes and in less
than day more than ffty.peop1e had
signed the petition The first man to
sign the petition was z. G. Simmons
and his lead has been followed by
many of The leading business and pro.
fessiona1 men of the city.
Mr.. Karnes has been notified by the
state leader in this humane work that
he will come to the city the latter
part of the week and organize the
society.
Before the society is organized it is
desired that at least two hundred
people sign the petition calling for
the formation of the society and if
]AAAN0 Nc1D 0C SCCu10u the WORK
will go on.
The demand for the society has so
long been felt in Kenosha that it is
thought that there will be no:trouble
in securing the signatures needed for
the society. Most of the En1en ap-
preached by Mr.. Karnes have looked
with considerable enthusiasm on the
movement and they seem determined
to make the society success.
Superintendent Whitehead has often
been to Kenosha on business connect
ed with the state society and at these
times he has shown to the people of
the city the demand for local organ
ization in Kenosha.
At this time of the year the organ
ization is especially needed and it is
thought that the formation of such a
society would aid materially in the
enforcement of the laws not only for
the protection of dumb brutes but as
well for the protection of the little
children who are employed in the
factories of the city.

ARE UNDER GROUND.
Wisconsin Telephone Co., to Put
Conduits in Kenosha Streets
in the Near Future.
BEGINS TO STRING CABLE.

A gang of thirty workmen in the
employ of the Wisconsin Telephone
company descended on the streets of
Kenosha this morning and began the
work of stringing two miles of new
cables in the city. The cables, it is
claimed, will be temporary as the
company is planning to put large
number of the wires in Kenosha un-
derground with the opening of the
spring season. It is announced that
all overhead wires and cables will be
taken off Of Main street and other
streets adjacent to the business por-
ton OF the city, and as fast as posi-
BILE the underground system will be
extended in the residence portion of
the city.
The cables that are now being put
in will take the place of a great many
overhead wires. The cables are to be
put in on Milwaukee avenue, Market
street, Ashland avenue, Pomeroy and
Elizabeth streets, and they will carry
wires enough to take the place of all
the overhead wires now on the
streets. It will require the better
part of three months to install the
cables and by the time this work is
completed the gang of workmen will
be ready to begin the work of putting
the wires underground in the down
town districts.
It is also stated that the company is
making plans for the building Of an
exchange in this city. The company
some time ago made an appro priation
for the building of telephone ex-
change in Kenosha and it is probable
that this work will be done before the
close of the year.
The increase in the business in Ke-
nosha during the past two years has
been larger than the increase in any
other city in the state with the ex-
ception of Milwaukee. In order to
hold this business the company has
decided to spend quite little money
and the lines, when the repairs are
completed, will be among the best

UP to date the city has experienced
no particular difficulty in getting
men to serve in the police depart
ment at the present rate of wages,
and it is unlikely that many Of the
men now working for the CITY would
