Residents Of South Ashland Ave-
nue. Place Hard Conditions for
the Coming Of Electric Road
WANT PAVING AND SEWERS
Frost May Have Either a Single or
Double Track, But the Property
Owners Will Demand a Big Pay
for the Privilege Granted

The meeting of the property owners
of Ashland avenue south of Prairie
avenue held at the city hall on Satur-
day evening, proved to be the most
largely attended gathering of property
owners yet held in connection with
the fight for or ag ainst the Kenosha
Electric Railway company extending
its lines.
AS result of the meeting hard con-
ditions have been laid down for Presi-
he desires to secure his extensions on
the avenue he will be forced to ex-
pend considerable IN the way of paw
ing and sewers. The meeting Satur-
day night took positive stand on the
question and a petition will be pre-
scented to the city council at the next
meeting. The petition will embody
the sentiment of the property owners
present at the meeting as expressed
by resolutions passed by an almost
unanimous vote.
The property owners south OF
Prairie avenue again emphasized the
fact that they were in favor of the
proposed extension of the railway on
Ashland avenue, but they also showed
that they were opposed to the laying
of a double track unless they were
properly recompensed for the use Of
the street.
The resolutions adopted at the meet
ing provide that the property owners
single or double track under the con-
ditions stated. "a single track is
laid the property owners Will ask no
return from Mr.. Frost save the re-
turn outlined in the franchise now be-
fore the council. However, if Mr..
Frost deems double track advisable
the property owners will insist that
he agree to pave the street from curb
to curb and to build the sewer in all
parts of the street not severed. The
property owners will not ask that this
work be done until suchssa time as the
railway company decides to lay the
double track.
At a recent meeting with the
property owners, Mr.. Frost stated
that he would not be willing to make
any concessions further than those
already made, and for this reason it
is thought that the extensions will
not be built. There we're a number
of property owners at the meeting on
Saturday, who were DESTROYS of grant
ing the street to Mr.. Frost for either
single or double track in the terms
stated IN the franchise ordinance, but
these people we're in the minority.
The petition embodying the reso1u-
tons adopted is now being circulated
and it is thought that it will be signed
by nearly every property owner re-
siding south of Prairie avenue. Presi-
dent Frost will be IN Kenosha during
the week and it is probable that the
matter will be taken up with him at
that time.
Some of the aldermen see in the
action of the property owners a plan to
hold up the railway company and these
men claim that the demand is excess
sive, as it is greater than has been
paid for the use of any street in the
city. AS the sentiment for the rail
way is strong it is possible that the
the people and grant the franchise
on the original terms.

DlSINFECTING WITH SAWDUST.

Dry sawdust is one Of the best
materials that can be used on the
poultry house floor, where clean
illness is desirable, being excelled
only by leaves. 1t is claimed
that the fowls will swallow some
of the sawdust with their food,
but such is not necessarily the
case. During the winter, or at
any season Of the year, sawdust
may be spread over the floor of
the poultry house. Itquickly alb
serbs all the moisture of the ma
nure, is not chilling to the feet,
affords an opportunity for
scratching and busting in winter,
and mixes we'll with the manure.
1t is also excellent to spread I'M
der perches to receive the drop
pings during the night, and is
quickly applied.
A cheap disinfectant may be
prepared by disolving a pound of
soap in two gallons of boiling
water, adding a pint of crude
carbolic acid, and stirring or ag-
itating the whole until the acid
and soap solution are we'll mixed
or emulsified. Pour it into a
bucket, or other suitable vessel,
and shovel the sawdust into the
solution until all of the solution
has been absorbed by the saw
dust. When desired for use, simp-
ly scatter a handful of the car
bolized sawdust over the floor,
under the perches, or wherever
needed, and it renders the house
obnoxious to flies, bugs and many
other pests that annoy the hens,
as well as destroys some of the
odors. Cor. Farm and Fireside.

GEMS FROM SUCCESS"

Remember that an easy-chair
is an essential part of the siren
GUS life.
When you are satisfied with
your success, you will begin to
wither, shrivel up.
1t pays to appreciate and to be
appreciated, at the same time to
stay on the ground.
Statistics show that great men
tai workers are, as a rule, long
lived. Activity is conductive to
longevity.
If you talk poverty, think pow
erty, and act poverty long enough
you will be convinded that there
is nothing but poverty for you.
Whoever uplifts civilization is
rich though he lie penniless, and
future generations will erect his
monument.
The most dangerous force in
this country is the fortune with
no character behind it.
There is a great difference be-
tween a wish and a logged res
,olution, between desiring to do a
thing and determining to do it.
You cannot hope to accomplish
much in the world without that
compelling enthusiasm which
stirs your whole being into action.
There are a great many semi
invalids in this country to-day
who could probably be cured by
the right kind of work, mental OF
physical, because they are in!
valids mentally before they are
physically.
