SEVERAL narrow escapes Of late
serve to emphasize the fact that the
library commissioners have not as yet
seen fit to trim down or remove en-
tire1y the mass of shrubs and plants
that make the northwest corner of the
library park the ''blindest" and most
dangerous in the city. IF they do not
act pretty soon the city authorities
may be forced to interfere ia the mat
ter and remove the distractions. We
believe that under the existing cir
cumstances the city could be held for
damages should any serious accident
happen at this corner, and it is only a
question Of time when one Is going to
happen. It is absolutely impossible
to see anything approaching from the
opposite direction as one comes up to
the corner on either street, and for
some unknown reason strangers al
most invariably come mp to the turn
Ga the wrong side. If the city per-
mits the present conditions at the cor
.ner to exist until some one is injured,
the authorities must expect to pay for
their neglect of proper precautions to
protect the public.

Knickerbocker Ice Co. Announces
Its Ownership ofAtI Ice Com
panies in Kenosha
k0PFMElER OUT OF BUSINESS
Milwaukee Man Turns Over His Iuter-
est to the Ice Trust but the Con-
sideration is Not Known
in Kenosha

The Knickerbocker Ice company
has finally come out into tile open in
kenosha and this morning every ice
wagon on the streets of the CITY bears
the name plate of the great ice trust.
Ihe wagons have not been re-lettered
but brass plate has been placed on
every wagon bearing the inscription
The hnickerbocker Ice Company,
Successor to-. These plates are
found on the wagons formerly operat
ed by the Kenosha Pure Ice company
and by the Thomas O'Donneu Ice
company. 1t is stated at the main.
office of the company that the Chi
cago company has for some time been
the sole owner of the O'Donnel1 com
pany and that the deal for the pur-
chase of the other company was con-
GUIDED on Tuesday. It is stated that
John H. Kopfmeier, a Milwaukee
man, was formerly interested with
the Knickerbocker company in the
Kenosha Pure Ice company and that
he sold out his interest to the trust.
The people of the city will now be
at the mercy of the Ice Trust aud
every pound of ice sold ia the city
will be paid for to the Ice Trust. At
the Office this morning the men in
charge stated that they knew little or
nothing of the deal that had been
made more than the fact that ali the
ice business in Kenosha has been
consolidated under the management
Of the Knickerbocker company and
that the Offices of the Kenosha Pure.
Ice company would in the future be
the Office of the Knickerbocker con.
pany. It was stated that there would
be no change in the Kenosha manage
ment and the routes of the wagons
will be re-adjusted so that one wagon
will serve all the patrons in given
districts of the city. It is expected
that the delivery service will be i'm
proved by the consolidation of the
two companies. AS to the price of
ice no statement has been made and
it is thought that the present prevail
ing prices will remain in force for
the remainder of the season.
No contracts are being made for the
coming winter. The Knickerbocker
company has for some time been sup
plying ice to TIE two Kenosha COM
panies, and it is understood that the
Kenosha ice will continue to come
from the Hooker Lake houses as in
the past.
There is one thing brought out by
the deal. and that is the connection
of the Milwau&ee man with the local
cornpany. Few Of the patrons of the
ice companies in the city ever heard
of Kopfmeier, and he first was
brought to their notice by the an
nouncement that he had sold out to
the trust.

A Law and order league can doubt
less do much good in Kenosha If it
does not start ont to do it all at once.
The trouble with most Of these reform
movements is that they almost in
variably undertake too much and
waste their strength on side issues.
However, the mere fact that there is
such an organization either in exist
ence or in the process Of formation Is
bound to- exert restraining influence
On that element ia the community
that has been in the habit for years
of defying the law with impunity.

Mrs. Thompson left her home just

possible that she car1e to the city on

the new law and order league to

seeing to it that the law against the

THE assessors yet have it In their
power to stop ali this talk Of re-
assessment by simply correcting some
of the most gIaring inequalities in the
rolls before the final returns are
made, and it is to be hoped that they
will do it. All this talk of unjust
taxation is bad thing for the city,
and certainly has a tendency to drive
away investors. We oelieve a fight
fol. a re-assessment at this time would
be a mistake and might put a serious
check on the growth Of the city, and.
that the inequities justly complained
of can be adjusted without expensive
and long drawn out litigation. We
can get a new assessment in the regu-
lar way about as soon as we car get
one through the courts, and if the tax
payers will take as much interest IN
this matter at election time as they
do now, they have it in their power to
get an assessment that is as nearly
correct as it is possible to make it. AS
we see it, the remedy lies in the bal.
lot boxes, not in the courtss sJ5iA

Governor Davidson Has Not as Yet
Acted IN the Sieb Charges
The controversy between John
Sieb, former Racine oil inspector, and
+. r. Mills, state oil inspector, in re-
gard to money sent by Sieb to Mills
on demand, appears to have died out,
at least SO far as known Mr.. Mills
has not been called to Madison by
Governor Davidson to explain the
matter. Reports from Burlington,
where Mr.. Mills resides, are in effect
that he IS waiting to be called and
that he will be called and that he will
explain to the satisfaction of his con-
stituents what he did with the money.
Reasons given for the governor not
having taken the matter up before
this time is that he has been too busy
fllling engagements about the state
at gatherings of different kinds. The
people Of Racine county are anxious
to learn just what Mr. Mills will say
in regard to the demand made upon
Sieb for S per cent Of his fees and
what use he made Of the SIS when
there was no campaign on at that
time.
So far as the checks are concerned
that we're sent to the state central
committee, there is no doubt they
were used for the campaign in
progress at that period and easily
disproved the assertion that oil in
spectors were never assessed for cam
paign purposes.

HUSBAND IS ACCUSED.
Chicago Woman Says Acid Was
 Poured Down Her Throat.

Chicago. Nov 16.-Mrs Agatha Thiess is dead, and on her death bed she acused her husband, Julius. of pouring nuriatic acid down her throat while she was asleep. Thiess Is now formally charged with wife murder.
 According to the woman's story. she awakened in the bedroom of her home at No IFS Green street with a terrible burning in her throat. She saw her husband clipping out of the door with a bottle in his hand.
 Screaming from the torture of the fiery fluid which had ben poured into her mouth. the woman seized the fleeing man. Her cries aroused her daughter. Mrs Henry Beeman, who ran into the chamber and helped her mother hold her father for a minute until he redoubled his struggles and succeeded in breaking away from the two women.
 A physician was hastily summoned and he said that Mrs Thiess's mouth and throat had been burned severely. An examination of the bottle. which had dropped to the floor. showed that 1t had held muriatic acid
