Senator Elect Bishop Will Not
Make a Fight for Completion
Of the Sheridan Drive
FAv0RS ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Senator States That He is Not Particu-
lar About the Building of the
Sheridan Drive, But Believes that
Comfy Roads Should be Better

When the state legislature meets
next January and a proposition is
brought up to secure the completion
of the Sheridan drive, Kenosha coun-
ty will not contribute greatly to the
success of the project, as Senator
elect Isaac T. Bishop, of the town Of
Somers, is not an ardent supporter Of
the plan for the completion Of the
drive and as the farmers in the vest
ern end of the county have been al
most unanimous in their protest
against the completion of the road at
the expense of the county, it is not
probable that Assemb1yman w. M.
Curtiss will be anything of an addi-
ton to the forces for the drive.
Senator Bishop was in the city Fri
day morning and when approached on
subject he was outspoken He didn't
attempt to dodge the issue, but stated
that he was not much in favor of the
Sheridan drive proposition. II am
in favor of building the best possible
roads in the state" said Senator
Bishop, "but this Sheridan drive
proposition has not appealed to me.
[ am going to send out in short time
some bulletins on road building which
| believe will be of interest to the peo-
pie of the district"
The crusade started by the Chicago
men to secure the completion of the
drive is not to be abandoned on ac-
count of the fact that they will not
have the representatives. of Kenosha
county with them and it is stated that
bill is now being drafted in Chicago
which will be presented to the Wis
consin Legislature.
The bill will give the counties
through which the road passes the
right to make appropriations for the
completion of the road between Wau-
kegan and Milwaukee, but it is under
stood that the promoters of the
scheme are not banking a great deal
on the action of County Boards along
the line. In both Racine and Keno
sha counties men have been elected to
the Assembly from western portions
of the counties, and they will not be
favorable toward the road proposition.
In Milwaukee it is said that ma jority
of the legislators will be in favor of
State aid for the completion of the
road, and if such a proposition is adj
vanced, if the amount to be appropri-
ated is not too large, it is possible that
the kenosha and Racine men can be
brought to see the necessity of its be
ing passed. The work of forming the
association to secure the completion
of the work is being carried forward
in Chicago and Milwaukee, and it is
claimed that several men of pron1i-
nence in both cities have agreed to
put up money to aid the work.

DEFEAT IN FIRST GAME
Kenosha Basketball Team Loses at
Portage in One Sided Game

Kenosha Basketball Team Loses at
Portage in One Sided Game
The glory of Ke1osha as a basket
ball center seems to have departed
and the Y. M. C. A. team, once the
proud champions of Wisconsin, went
down to defeat Thursday night before
the team of Company F. of Portage
by a score of II to 20. What is even
worse it is claimed that there was
never time when the Kenosha team
had chance to get into the running.
The local team was simply over
whelmed by the Portage players and
the only wonder was that the score
Wa$not greater. The fact that the
game was played in Portage and that
the Kenosha boys were not acquaint-
ed with play in a large hall may in
measure account for the defeat.
The Kenosha boys have arranged
for long schedule during the sea-
son and will meet nearly all of the
leading teams in the country.

STEER ON A RAMPAGE
Product of Texas Plains Escapes From
a Car and Causes Panic

There was something doing on
North West Main street just after six
O'Clock Wednesday evening when a
wild steer direct from the plains of
Texas escaped from one of the cars
of the Northwestern Railway COM
pany and started north along the
tracks. The street was pretty well
filled up with factory men and wo-
men on their way home from work
and some of them sought to have a
little fun with the steer but when the
steer put down his head and started
for the gang there was something. do
ing for sure. The pedestrians man
aged to find shelter at houses in the
neighborhood and Officer John B.
Zievers was called to aid in the cap
ture Of the steer. The officer was not
an expert with lasso and when last
heard of the steer had turned his
eyes toward Racine and WIS still TO
ing north. It is probable that the
railway company will furnish some
farmer in the town of Soners with
free meat for the winter.

MAY AMEND COMPLAINT.
Chicago and Milwaukee Gets Chance in
Suit Brought by Mrs. DeBerge

Suit Brought by Mrs. DeBerge
In the circuit court in Racine
Thursday afternoon, Judge Belden
handed down decision granting the
attorneys for the Chicago and Milwau-
kee Railway company the right to
amend their complaint in the action
brought against the company by Mrs.
Sophia DeBerge of this city. Mrs.
DeBerge was the first person to file
an action against the company in this
judicial district. She was injured by
falling from one of the cars Of the
company, and in her suit she demand
ed five thousand dollars for injuries

With the leave to amend the com

Life.

The poets exclamation: 20 Life! l
feel thee bounding in my veins, is a
joyous one. Persons that can rarely
or never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most un-
fortunate. They do not live, but ex-
ist for to live implies more than to
be- To live is to be we'll and strong
to arise feeling equal to the ordinary
duties of the day, and to retire not
overcome by them-to feel life bound
ing in the veins. A medicine that has
made thousands Of people, men and
women, we'll and strong, has accom-
plished a great work, bestowing the
richest blessings, and that medicine
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. The weak,
rundown, or debilitated, from any
cause, should not fail to take it. 1t
builds up the whole system, changes
existence into life, and makes life
more abounding. We are glad to say
these words in its favor to the readers
Of our columns.
