If the patriotic societies are going
to save Niagara Falls they will have
to hurry up about it. The preservation
of the Falls can only be accomplished
by the combined action of the
Canadian and United States govern
ments, and if takes these two powers
as long to get together on this
question as it has to adjust certain
other differences between them, the
Falls will be gone before they are
ready to act, unless they begin to
consider it pretty soon.

If the council accepts the PROPOSE
ton made by the voting machine
company, and it probably will, as
there is little chance that any better
terms will be offered in the future,
the machines will be put in every
ward before the city election this
spring, and the result will be known
within an hour after the polls close.
The old excuse of waiting for the
returns" will not be a valid one in
Kenosha again, and most of the fun
will be taken out Of the election for
the old timers.

The Cars Peasant Allies.

It seems apparent that the French
revolution is not to repeat itself on
Russian soil, and the destiny Of the
Romanoffs will more resemble that Of
the Hapsburgs than that Of the i'll
starred Bourbons. Fifty years ago
Francis Joseph Of Austria had to fly
from his capital to escape the repub-
lican revolutionists, but with the aid
Of the Russian army he suppressed the
uprising and actually granted volun-
tarily the constitutions asked for in the
course Of two decades. The evidences
now are that this same ruler will grant
universal suffrage to the people whose
political aspirations he totally sup
pressed in 1848.
In Russia we need not be surprised
to see Nicholas II. assassinated by the
revolutionists, as was his grandfather,
for it is said that his death has been
decreed in secret. But even then his
dynasty might be strengthened thereby
III the hearts Of his loyal subjects, the
peasants The army, which is fed by
peasant blood. put down the recent in
surrection and saved the government
from the fate of the French aristocrats
In France the peasants were loyal, and
it took the republican forces years to
suppress the districts Of Brittany and
La Vendee The Russian moujlks are
even more fanatically devoted to their
Little Father" the car, than were the
Breton peasants and the Vendeans to
their king, and, unlike France, where
the peasants were vastly outnumbered,
this class constitutes four-fifths of the
inhabitants Of Russia. These people
are familiar with representative gov
eminent, having long been accustomed
to send delegates to the provincial and
district zemstvos. They will outvote
the labor element Of cities and co
operate with Witte and the car in
framing a new organic law for the en-
pire.

Secretary Grover Of Chicago, Ke-
nosha & Milwaukee Company
Tells of the Plans
NO LOCAL FRANCHISE WANTED
The Company Simply Seeks to Secure
the Right of Way Through the
City for Lines to the North
and West-P1enty Capital

Attorney Frank r. Grover of Chi
cago, secretary of the Chicago, Ke-
nosha & Milwaukee Electric Railway
company, came to Kenosha this
morning with band of surveyors to
make an effort to work out the lines
Of the company in this city. This
route is to be included in the fran
chise ordinance which is to be pre-
sented to the city council at it's
next regular meeting.
Mr. Grover while in Kenosha spoke
freely of the plans of the company.
He stated that the company was not
seeking to interfere with any COM
pany now running cars in Kenosha,
and that the men associated with him
had no intention of building a local
street railway in Kenosha. He showed
the local field has already been fully
covered by the Kenosha Electric
Railway company.
"Our plan for the present time,
said Mr.. Grover, SIS to build line
between Kenosha and Waukegan.
Ne have a title to every inch of the
right of way between Balm avenue in
Kenosha and Clayton avenue in Wan
kegan, and we believe that this line
would be paying proposition with
no other connections, This right of
way has been purchased at cost of
thousands of dollars and we have for
years been making out plans for
building the line. In Kenosha the
company simply SEEKS right of way
through the city to the west and
north. This right of way must be the
shortest possible route as we are
planning to operate line on which
good time can be made.
Our line is the shortest possible
route between Kenosha and Wauke-
gan and we tap territory that prom
ises to bring to Kenosha as well as to
Waukeran large amount Of bust
ness. AS to our plans for route to
the west, - Mr.. Grover continued, "we
have planned to ultimately construct
line between Kenosha and Lake
Geneva, tapping the territory south
and west of Kenosha which is now
without railway facilities. Our sur
veyors have made several snrverys to
the west of the city of Kenosha but
none of these surveys has proved
acceptable to the managers of the
company, and it is probable that an
other survey to the west will be made
at once. If this, line seems to be
paying proposition it will be built at
an early date. !"
Mr.. Grover stated that if the COM
pany secured franchise to enter Ke-
nosha it would be the aim of the com
pany to build the line between Keno
sha and Waukegan before the close of
1907. AS to the line north of Keno
sha the company is looking with envi-
Gus eyes on Caledonia street and it is
possible that there will be second
clash between the company and the
Chicago & Milwaukee road on that
street.
The franchise ordinance has been
prepared with the exception ofinsert-
ing the right of way asked for, and
this will be filled in before the end of
the week.

THE Kenosha News expresses the
hope that Zeno Host will not yield to
the opportunities of local politicians
who are urging him to become can
didate for the mayora1ty of Milwaukee.
In 1904 he was elected by the Repub-
1icans of the state to an Office the term
of which will not expire till the begin
ming Of next year.
Voters who go to the trouble of e1e-
waiting man to office feel a grievance,
as a rule, if he manifests restless in
disposition to "stay put"-a readiness
to accept official sponsibilities and
to neglect their claims when he hears
syren voices calling him in another
direction. Evening Wisconsin

PRESENTS BIG BILL
N. H. McGoyern, Sewer Contrac.
tor, Wants $4,000 From
City for Extras
BILL CAUSES A SENSATION

Something of a sensation has been
caused among the members OF the
common council and other city Off
Gals by the statement that Contra tor
M. Fl. McGovern, of Chicago, who
has just completed the work of
building new system of sewers in
the city, has presented bill to the
street assessment committee for
$4,000. This vast amount of money
is demanded from the city as bill
for extras in connection with the
construction of the sewers. City En-
gineer Moth has set his foot down
hard and has already stated that he
will not recommend the allowance of
the bill or any bill in which the
amount approaches SIS, 900. The claim
of McGovern is one of the most pre-
posterous ever presented to long
suffering city council and it is al
legged that McGovern has already
announced that if the bill is not paid
by the city he will bring suit to col
1ect it. Such suit would undoubted-
1y be an expensive luxury to Kenosha
but the matter should be fought in the
highest courts before the officials of
the city allow the taxpayers money
to be squandered in this manner.
It is impossible To get the full text
of the bill as it has not as yet been
properly brought before the council
but it is stated that the contractor
claims extra pay for almost every
thing in connection with the contract.
Extra pay is claimed for building
a protection to the Park street
sewer; extras are charged for Dig
ging trenches in some of the streets
as it alleged that the cut was deep
er than stated in the contract.
Extras to the amount of 81, 900 are
claimed for time lost while waiting
for stakes to be set and it is stated
absolutely that the workmen of the
company did not wait more than
three hours for stakes.
The bill will be sent back to Nc
Govern for revision 1t is admitted
by the city engineer that McGovern
could sustain small claim for extras
but the amount would be nothing in
comparison with the amount claimed
IN the bill.

WHEN the full vote gets out in a
city the size of Kenosha, where al
most all candidates are known, by
reputation at least, to the voter, there
need De no fears as to the result. The
gang cau never control then. The
danger lies in the fact that the voters
who are under no mans control gem
orally refuse to come outunless they
nave a personal interest in some can
didate seeking nomination. They
will do more for friend than they
will do for themselves every time, out
we are in hopes that this spring the
voters will get up enough energy to
see to it that good men, in whose
hands the city's interests would be
safe, are nominated for every office in
the gift Of the people.

Special Inspector Braun Of the de-
partment of commerce and labor is
evidently an Inspector who not only
inspects, but tells the truth about 1t.
He says that certain countries named
look upon the United States in the at
titude of adjuncts or colonies of their
own and that immigrants come here to
gain citizenship, then go home to the
fatherland and plot against their home
governments. In the event Of trouble
they claim the protection due American
citizens. 1t is time this country ceased
to be easy for all sorts of schemers
and villains.

TABLE LINEN.
Fastidious Appointments That Wait
ON Appetite.


Fastidious Appointments That Watt
ON Appetite.
To novice the designs of table linen
seem Of paramount importance, but the
old hand recognizes by the 'tfeel' OF the
damask the wearing and lasting quail
ties, and the pattern takes a second
place, says Good Housekeeping writ
er in discussing fine linen for the table,
as follows: The housekeeper who must
purchase economically, especially in
consideration Of large family, will
buy unbleached linen Of good quality
rather than that which is fine and
white. While this at first is not pretty,
1t improves with age and washing and
will long outwear the other. Red or
checkerboard patterns are used simply
because they do not show dirt, but the
ever ready and clean white enamel
cloth is far better for housekeeping
than the red tablecloth, because it is
easily wiped off after each service.
Lace Pieces.
1t is long jump from this makeShift
to the exquisite and expensive doilies,
runners, lunch and tea cloths. For the
bare table of polished oak or mahogany
so much in vogue lace is still used in
abundance. The handsomest pieces
combine lace and white embroidery.
while-which seems a contradiction
embroidery without lace is a winning
favorite. Colored embroidery is rarely
seen now on smart" tables unless it
be the blue and white of Chinese or
Japanese design. OF course those who
have colored embroideries are still US
ing them, but those who are now buy.
ing new will prefer all white.
For the Moderate Purse,
For the moderate purse there are
choice sets of Madeira work. These are
round with scalloped edges buttonholed
in white with stiletto work in various
designs. They are for round or oval
tables, but there are some new oblong
doilies for square tables that are made
of antique handmade lace This is a
cluny lace or buttonholed. These are
more sensible, as they are long enough
to include all the knives. forks. spoons
and glasses that go to make I'D the
company cover" The newest center.
pieces of the inexpensive kind are Of
antique handmade lace. This is a re-
vfval of an old fashion of which we all
grew weary a dozen years ago. Never
theleSs they are far newer and better
style now than the renaissance or bat
tenberg work.

World Prosperity.

From nearly all countries that fur
nish important markets for the United
States there come reports showing in
dustrial progress and excellent trade
prospects. In spite Of all that we hear
Of poverty in Great Britain that coun-
try has taken full part in the world
wide trade revival both at home and
in exports, as shown by the demand
for her products at the close Of the year
1905. In Germany the general report
is that all manufacturing and trade en-
terprises are doing remarkably well.'
France rejoices in an increased domes-
tic and export trade, while Austria and
Belgium have experienced the influence
Of the prosperous wave.
On this side Of the water the United
States increased it's foreign trade in
several directions, while Canada never
had a more prosperous year than that
just closed. In South Africa the gold
production reached high water mark,
and the whole region shows signs of
business recovery. The prosperity Of
the whole world must in time affect
Japan, Manchuria and Korea, where
the strain Of war has been severe. It
will be prosperity worth growing
over when it is universal, and plenty
in one country does not mean famine
in another.

DR.. c. H. Gephart of Chicago, un-
til recently an inferno at the Pres

sha and has decided to open an office
at 218 Wisconsin street. DR.. Gephart
was first attracted to Kenosha by the
fact that he had been attending Mrs.
z. G. Simmons, Jr., during her ill

turned to her home here the doctor
came to Kenosha to attend her. He
was SO pleased with the outlook in
the city that he decided to locate

DR.. Gephart has had wide expert

FEW GOT FIRST PAPERS
Only Twenty Three Were Natura1ized
by Clerk of the Court in 1905

by Clerk of the Court in 1905
The report of the clerk of the cir
cult court in regard to the number of
foreigners naturalized in the county
during the year just closed shows that
the year was decidedly an ''of year"
During the twelve months but twenty
three foreigners announced their in
tention to become citizens In this
county. There was, however, large
growth in the number of people TAX
ing out their second papers, the num-
Der reaching 81. In the previous
year, when there was general cleo
ton, $40 foreigners took out first pa
pers, nearly all Of them being given
just before the national election. In
1902, which was an election year, the
number was but 1876.
These figures show that there is a
rapid growth in the foreign born pop
ulatiou of the city.
