TRAFFIC AGREEMENT
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric to send
Freight Over Illinois Central Lines

q
Freight Over Illinois Central Lines
A new alignment of freight hand
ling is predicted as a result Of the re-
cent opinion given by Commissioner
Knapp, Of the Illinois Railway Com
mission, to the effect that the agree
ment by which railroads refused to
enter into shipping arrangements
with the electric roads doing inter-
urban and interstate business was a
violation of the rule relating to COM
mon carriers recently applied direct
ly to railroads under the new rate law.
The first road to act on this opinion
is the Illinois Central which has en-
tered into an agreement with the Chi
cago and Milwaukee electric railroad.
AS these electric roads increase in
number it is predicted that with their
radically cheaper equipment and con-
segment ability to make low rates for
Shorthand freight they will be seri-
Gus competitors and that to maintain
the statue quo it will be necessary
for them to raise their rates or the
roads to make reductions. Hitherto
the impossibility for these roads to
obtain through billing Of freight has
curtailed their competitive power as
well as making it practically impossi-
bic for the public to make use for
long distances Of the lower rates
which the electric roads could fur
nish.
It is expected that other agree
ments will follow and that theelectric
lines will become large factorin the
handling of SHORTHAND freight.

SETS NEW RECORD
Board of Education Completes
Work Of Regular Session in
Just Twenty Minutes
NOW HAS A CLEAN SLATE

The board of education of the city
set new record on Tuesday night,
when the regular meeting of the
board was concluded ia just twenty
minutes after the members had been
called to order by President Craney.
1t was the shortest regular meeting
ever held by any public board in Ke-
nosha.
There was no intention of making a
record, but when the meeting was
called there was not a bit of business
to come before the board. There
were no communications to be read,
and the school system was running in
such smooth way that there was not
kick from principal or teacher, and
all that remained to be done was to
allow a few little bills, after which
che board adjourned
In the past few weeks the board of
education has shown a progres-
sive spirit, and it is no longer nee
essary to give up an hour at each
meeting to the reading Of the min
utes, as the minutes are typewriter
and sent to the members on the day
after each session, and if any correc-
tons are to be proposed the mem beers
propose them at the next meeting
The buildings and grounds commit
tee of the board report that the work
on both of the new buildings is NOV
ing along IN satisfactory manner.
At the new Fifth ward school the
walls are going up, and with good
weather the building will be COM
pleted early in the coming summer.
The addition to the Central building
will certainly be completed by the
first of next February. So far the
board has had no trouble with the new
west side building, and all. troubles in
connection with the Central building
have been adjusted.
The pupils at the Durkee school
we're forced to take a vacation on
Tuesday morning and afternoon on
account of the failure of coal COM
pany to deliver coal for the running
of the furnaces. This morning there
was plenty of coal on hand and it is
not thought that there will be any
further trouble. The officials at the
school are emphatic in the statement
that the trouble Tuesday did not come
from faulty heating system, but
simply from lack of coal.

County Board Completes PreIim-
mary Work and Gets Down to
the Serious Business
ANNUAL REPORTS PRESENTED
Ball is Started Rolling to Secure a New
Heating Plant for the Court Room
and the Jail-County Agents
Report Received

After two sessions Of preliminary
work largely taken up with organiza-
ton and the appointing Ct standing
committees for the year, he county
board got down to work in earnest
this morning, and all day the super
visors have been decidedly busy fol-
lowing the printed proceedings of last
year, and getting rid Of the large
amount of routine work that has been
laid up for this session. Few matters
of great Importance have as yet been
laid before the board and there is such
a lot of routine work that it will
probably be several days before any
new BUSINESS will be considered.
The work of securing new heating
plant for the court room, was started
moving by Judge Belden on Tuesday
afternoon when he sent a letter to the
board telling of the conditions at the
court room and urging them to take
immediate steps for new heating
plant. The fact that the old stove
has long since outlived its usefulness,
board, as they shivered in the court
room Tuesday and we're not much bet
ter off today. The letter from Judge
Belden was seconded by similar re-
quest from many of the attorneys in
the city.
No action was taken on the matter,
but the investigation of conditions
will be taken up at once and it is
probable before the end of the session
that the board will find some plan for
the installation of new heating plant
both for the court room and for the
county jail. The board has inspected
the new plant placed in the court
house, but the acceptance of it was
laid over to the January meeting Of
the board. The cost of the new plant
was 1882. This plant heats thesdowsa
stairs and basement rooms Of the
building and new plant will be
needed for the court room.
Today the reports of the county
agent and the county clerk were pre-
scented and referred to the committees
/ for auditing. The. county agents re-
port showed that the receipts for the
year had been $2643. IS and the cash
balance now on hand is $327.65. The
principal expenses of the agent as
enumerated were: For the care of
paupers, $737.52; for county building
and furniture, $339.27 for books and
stationary, $780, 81; for fuel and light,
S472.2 20; for miscellaneous expenses,
$522. %. The report of the county
clerk showed his receipts and expendi-
lures for the year were So, 1872.
The one social event for the board
this year will be the annual visit to the
asylum at Racine and arrangements
for this visit have not as yet been
completed. The Racine board is
ldeadlocked over the election Of a
chairman and as the two boards al
ways go to the asylum together the
annual visit may not be made until
some time next week.
By this evening nearly all the bills
filed with the county clerk will have
been sent to the different committees
and the committees will be hard al
work. IT now looks as if the session
of the board will be long one and
the metn bers may not complete their
work until Thanksgiving day.

ASSESSOR ToBIN INJURED
Pleasant Prairie Official Loses Two
Fingers in Corn Shredder

Patrick Tobin, assessor of the town
of Pleasant Prairie, and one of the
best known farmers in the county is
the latest victim of the corn shredder.
On Monday afternoon Mr.. Tobin had
his left hand caught in the cog wheels
of the machine and before the ma
chinery could be-stopped the two mid
die fingers of the hand had been so
terribly crushed that it was necessary
to amputate them at the second Joint.
Assessor Tobin is the first victim of
the shredder reported from Kenosha
county this year and his accident will
probably serve as a caution to other
farmers using the machines.

WHY COPPER MARKET
IS NEVER GLUTIEO
Expiring Camps and Renewed
Demand Keep Up Call
for Metal.

When one hears of so many new and
largo copper mines being opened up, IL
seems a wonder that the market is not
g!utted with the metal. AS q matter Of
fact, old mines are becoming exhausted
SIS new ones are developed and acci-
dents at one compensate for rich
strikes IN another. There is less said
about the funerals than the births, for
mines usually end their lives In quiet
and upobtrusive way, however loudly
their sponsors may sound the horn
when they begin their career, says the
Mining and Scientific Press. Thus. in
the Lake Superior copper district,
where mining Is conducted as success
fully and on as sound q business basis
as anywhere in the world, there have
been several hlndrances TO an increased
production. although these arc not her
