COMING THIS WAY
Burlington Railway is Said to be
Considering a Plan to Build
Line Through Kenosha
MAY CONNECT WITH ELECTRIC

The prize "Bear" story of the rail-
way line is now being sent out from
| Chicago by the advertising agents of
the Chicago Burlington and Quincy
road and is to the effect that the COM
pany is now planning for a line to
connect Elgin and Aurora, ILL.,. and
that this line will extend to Chicago
and will be the first link in a big sys-
tenn to be built by the Burlington. It
is stated that it is the ultimate plan Of
| the company to build a line between
Milwaukee and Chicago touching at
Waukegan, Kenosha and Racine.
| Just how this line is to be laid out has
not as yet been made public, but it is
| evident that it is planned as line
paralleling the Northwestern. The
Burlington railway does a lot of BUSH
ness for shippers in Racine and Ke-
nosha, but it is hardly thought posi-
BILE that the Burlington will go SO far
ont of its way as to build line north
from Chicago. The entrance of the
Burlington to Kenosha would be well
comed by the shippers of the city,
but there is no reason to believe that
they will have chance in the imme-
date future to get out band to well
come the opening of the road.
It is possible that the G. B. & Q.
will make some. traffic arrangement
with one of the electric railways
planned to run into Kenosha by which
Kenosha products can be taken di-
rectly to Burlington cars, but such an
agreement has not as yet been made.
It is understood that the Chicago and
Milwaukee road is contracting with a
number of the big railway systems
for connections.

FARMERS WANTED
University Of Wisconsin Finds it
Impossible to Supply Demand
For Educated Farm Men
COURSE PROVES POPULAR

The requests for graduates of the
! college of agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin have Increased SO
pidly this year that the faculty rave
been unable to supply one-half the
demand. Never before has there
been so many calls for well trained
men in agriculture. The demand
varies from assistants in experiment
stations to trained men to manage
testing fields for vegetable grown
for canning factories. Some Of the
openings have been for students of
only one or two years training. A
New York business man wrote re-
Gently for student to take charge Of
his country home in Connecticut,
while Chicago merchant secured a
short course graduate for his stock
farm in northern Illinois. One Of the
graduates of the dairy school is
successfully managing the pure milk
supply farm near the city of Phila-
de1phiA, and another graduate is em-
ployed by firm in that city taking
charge of hundred COW dairy. From
Kentucky has just come request for
FIVE butter makers to assist in a
factory which is in charge of a
graduate of dairy school. A con-
siderable number of the students have
accepted positions as assistants on
farms and in creameries and cheese
factories with view to getting valu-
able experience and practice in agri-
cultural operations before embarking
upon enterprises Of their own. The
statistics show that the greater por-
ton of graduates and former students
of the agricultural college are now
operating their own farms, creameries
and cheese factories.
That the opportunities are being
appreciated by the young men of Wis
consin is shown by the rapid increase
in attendance at the college of agri-
culture In 1oO4-5 there was an en-
rollment of 753 in all courses, while
lastyear the total number was 1,053,
an increase of exactly 800. This year
the enrolment in the short course is
already considerably larger than that
of last year, but provision has been
made to accommodate all who apply,
even though they have not enrolled
in advance Of the opening Of the course

KAEMPFER TO GET PLUM
Declared He Will Succeed E. E. Mills as
the State Oil Inspector

1t is learned from what is considered
good authority that Charles Kaemp-
fer, former Racine attorney, now of
Milwaukee, will surely be appointed
state oil inspector, to succeed Edward
E. Mills, of Burlington, whose official
head is to drop at the expiration of
his term.
!. Mr.. Kaempfer has received the en-
dorsement of many leading politicians
IN Racine county, in fact many men
who were former supporters of Mr..
Mills, but Notwithstanding this fact
Mr.. Mills and his friends are out
hustling, not only in this vicinity,
but other sections of the state.
During the recent campaign Mr..
Kaempfer was quite prominent and
canvassed the state with Chairman
.O'Connor and is close personal
friend of the next lieutenant COVER
nor and he is also close to Governor
Davidson.
Charles Kaempfer was born in Ra-
cine and attended the public and high
schools there; also the University of
Wisconsin, graduating from the law
department of that institution. For
years he practiced law in Racine, and
then went to Omaha, Neb., where he
practiced, returning to the Belle City
some years ago.

DETECTIVE rs DETECTED
Bert Brewer Detective From Wood.
stock, Ill, Tribes With Bad Liquor

Bert Brewer, of Woodstock, ILL.,,
who spent two days in Kenosha last
week, has decided that it does not pay
to be a detective unless you have a
star that counts when you get into a
strange town. Bert came from the
Illinois town to Kenosha and pro-
ceeded to fill up on bad whiskey and
finally drifted into the custody Of
Chiefo Police O'Hare. He explained
to the chief that he was detective
but for some reason the chief failed
to see it that way and landed him in
jail. Saturday night Bert appeared
before Justice Stufges and rather
shamefully admitted that he had not
received the treatment he had ex-
pected from detectives in Kenosha.
He admitted as well that he had vio-
lated the city ordinance against in
toxication and paid fine of ST. and
costs. Then he dug out for Wood
stock.

Mueller, Hoffman, Ice Company
Formed to Supply Ice to the
City Of kenosha
SCOTT TO MANAGE COMPANY
Ground Broken Monday for Erection
of a 10000 Ton Ice House on
Lake Elizabeth for the Uses
of the New Ice Company

The rule of the ice trust in Kenosha
is to be broken before the opening of
another season, as it is announced
this morning that an independent
company has been formed to supply
ice to the people of Kenosha at reas-
enable rates and the contracting
agents of the company will be out
among the people within few days
making contracts for the coming sea-
son. The company which has been
organized by T. S. Scott, the former
president of the Scott Ice Company,
is to be known as the Mueller-Hoff-
man Ice Company. It has not as yet
been incor porated, but the papers
will be filed within a few days and it
will have sufficient capital stock to
insure its success. Notwithstanding
the fact that the cot anr not as
yet been Incorporated, it has pur-
chased land on Lake Elizabeth in the
town of Randall and ground was
broken this morning for the erection
of a 10000 ton ice house. This house
is to be completed within the next
thirty days so that it can be filled dur
ing the present winter. The house
will cost in the neighborhood of ten
thousand dollars and all the money
needed for the building of the ice
horse and the management of the
company has been secured.
4 Mr.. Scott when seen Sunday
stated that the new company would
be absolutely independent, and that
it would have no connection with any
company now doing business in the
city of Kenosha or any other city. He
stated that the company had been or
ganized for the purpose of selling ice
to the people of Kenosha at reason
able prices, and that he as manager
would be ready to insure reasonable
rates to the people regardless of the
amount of ice purchased.
Scott was In the ice business in Ke-
nosha for many years, and finally sold
out to the Kenosha Pure Ice company.
He has already managed to secure
rights of way for the building of
switches to his new ice house, and
there is no doubt but that he will
make the venture successful one.
1t is understood that several we'll
known Kenosha men are interested in
the new company, and some OF them
have been connected with other sim
liar ventures in the city. The new
house will be completed and ready for
filling by the first of February at the
latest, and it is possible that the work
may be com pleted by the first of the
new year.

TAKES HIGH OFFICE
The Ri. Rev. William Walter
Webb is Enthroned as Bishop
of the Milwaukee Diocese
.KEN0SHA RECT0RS PRESENT

The Rt. Rev. William Walter Webb
was enthroned as the fifth Bishop of
the Milwaukee Diocese of the Episco-
pal church at Ali Saints Cathedral in
Milwaukee this morning, and humid
reds of the members of the clergy and
lay members of the church from all
parts of the diocese went to Milwau-
kee to attend the service. The Ke-
nosha churches were represented by
the Rev. Charles l.. Mallory of St.
Matthews church, who was one of
the ministers assisting in the, en-
thronement; and by the Rev. Alfred
w. Griffin, Chaplain of Kemper Hall
and Rector of St. Peters Chapel.
Many laymen from Kenosha also
went to Milwaukee to attend the cere-
monies.
In keeping with the wishes of
Bishop Webb the service was made as
short as possible, and while it was of
an imposing nature it was as simple
as possible to make it under the ritual
of the church. Bishop Webb was es-
corted to the throne by Canon Wright
of the Cathedral, while Canon HI. b.
st. George of Nashotah House acted
as Master of Ceremonies. His assist
ant was the Rev. Geo. F. Burroughs,
rector of ST. Andrews church in Mil
waukee. Other clergymen from the
diocese we're named as assistants, but
their positions were wholly of an hon
orary nature.
The professional preceding the GER
emonies of enforcement was short,
including only the Bishop, his chap
lains, and the rural deans of the do
cese led by the Rev. G. L. Mallory Of
kenosha, who is the dean of the Mil
waukee convocation.
Following the enforcement he was
presented with the letters of conse-
Grafton, and he repeated the Bishops
declaration of fidelity, after which
the proclamation of his installment
was made by Canon Wright. The
sermon was preached by the Rt. Rev.
John Hazen White of Michigan City.
After the sermon Bishop Webb
formally assumed his work and adj
ministered communion to the large
company IN attendance at the cere-
monies.
There wit not it is thought be any
changes in the diocese as Bishop
Webb has been in charge since the
death of Bishop Nicholson.
Bishop Webb is widely known
throughout the diocese and univer-
sally beloved by the people of his
church.

bus Initiate Class of Fifty Eight
Sunday was the greatest day IN the
history Of the Kenosha Chapter of
the Knights Of Columbus, for at that
time fifty-eight new memb ers were re-
ceived into the order and their en-
trance drew to the city vast number
of the members of the order from
other cities, who assisted the local
members in doing the work. The hall
on Main street was crowded during
the entire>afternoo and evening, and
no chapter of the order in Wisconsin
ever had greater day for initiation.
Large delegations came from Racine,
Milwaukee, Chicago and Waukegan.
The Racine delegation more than one
hundred strong, came down on a
special car, while from Milwaukee
came a number of the leading state
officials of the order. Chicago sent a
delegation of forty, and twenty-five
came up from Waukegan to take part
in the ceremonies.
The work of initiation was started
Just after one o'clock and there was
such a large number of candidates,
that the members we're kept at work
until after nine O'Clock in the evening.
Three degrees were given to the fifty
eight candidates. The first degree
was exemplified by the officials of.the
Racine chapter, while the officers of
the Kenosha chapter piloted the cam
didates through the second degree.
This work was completed just after
six o'clock and a recess was taken,
while lunch was served to the four
hundred guests. After luncheon was
over the famous degree team of Chi
cago, led by Jerome Crowley conferred
the third and last degree. The cere-
mony was beautiful and impressive.
With this large class of initiates,
the membership of the order in Keno
sha is brought up to nearly two hum
dred and the Kenosha chapter is said
to be one of the strongest chapters of
the order in the West.

ASKS SEPARATE MAINTENANCE
Mrs. Trafter Demands Money For Sup

Mrs. Trafter Demands Money For Sup
port From Her Husband. G. Trafter
Mrs. Eva Trafter, a woman well
known to the residents of Washington
Island, through her attorney, Robert
Verne Baker, has started an action in
the Circuit Court to secure separate
maintenance from her husband, Geo.
Trafter.
In the complaint Mrs. Trafter accu-
ses her husband of cruelty. He was
taken before Justice Sturges late
Saturday afternoon on the complaint
of his wife, who charged him with in
toxication, and It appeared from the
evidence that the principal trouble
was that Trafter had failed to pay
temporary alimony as ordered by the
court. The nan was fined dollar
and costs.
