MORE ROUTES
N @
Inspector Of RuraI Mail Routes
Finishes Work in County and
Asks arrangement
ALL TO GET GOOD SERVICE

Inspector of Rural Routes Richards,
of Michigan, has completed his
work in this city and yesterday for
warded to Washington his recon-
mendations for changes in this post
office in order to provide service for
all patrons within the district. The
inspector did not recommend any new
routes out Of Kenosha as, after care
full examination Of the conditions, he
did not believe that a new route
ed a re-org anization of the rural de-
livery service here and believes that
routes can be laid out so that the car
riers will be able to reach every
house without adding any more
mileage to the routes now laid out.
Many of the patrons now covered
from Kenosha could secure service
from other villages IN the county but
this will not be necessary as it is
thought that with the change in the
routes every one will be supplied with
delivery.
The report Of the Inspector will
show that there are four routes out of
Kenosha, each ppToximately cover
ing territory of fifteen miles. Many
people residing in the northern part
ofthe county are taken care of by
carriers who go out of the Racine
office, while in the western part of the
county the routes leading from Kan
sasville and Union Grove serve far
mers In this county.
Out in Bristol there are three estab-
lished routes, and two are now run.
ming out of Salem and two out of
Pleasant Prairie. These routes do
not care for all Of the patrons in that
part of the county, and the ones left
out are receiving delivery from the
offices at Richmond and Antioch, I'll.
The post Office department. does not
recognize state lines in arranging the
rural delivery routes.
It is expected that the recommends
tons of Inspector Robards will be
acted upon at once, and that the re-
arrangement of the routes in the
county will be made before the first
of the new year.

PYTHEAN INSURANCE REVISION

Members to be Given the Same Secur-
ity as With Old Line Companies
The important business. of the
knights of Pythias convention at
New Orleans was reached Thursday.
The supreme lodge was scheduled
flrst to take up the election Of officers
and 1t was hoped to reach considera-
ton of the proposed revision of
Pythian insurance laws. These pro-
posa1s, as outlined by John H. Adams
OF Fort Worth, Texas, secretary of
the special committee on endowment
rank, gave to the members of thls
rank the same security as old line in
surance companies, including about
the same reserves, paid up and ex-
tended insurance and the making of
policies incontestab1e after three
years. It is not proposed to change
the old fourth clause with its ST., 500
surplus provision, but the privilege
will be offered member to transfer
without medical examination into the
new rank.
Another important proposition is
that of uniting the Rathbone and
Pythian sisters.

MET AWFUL INJURY
Otto Scldat, of Chicago, Crushed
Under a Switch Engine at
Grand Avenue Crossing
LEFT LEG TAKEN OFF AT HIP

Otto Soldat, aged q years, residing
at 1858 West 21st street Chicago, met
with a terrible injury on the tracks
of the Chicago and North Western
Railway company in Kenosha just
after O'Clock Thursday night, and
while he is still alive his condition is
critical. Soldat was run down by
switch engine and his left leg was so
crushed that it was found necessary
to amputate it at the hip. The man
is suffering terribly from the .shock
of the accident today and he may not
survive the day.
Soldat was employed by the COM
pany as a 1aborer on the tracks two
miles west of the city and had come
TO Kenosha after he completed his
work last night. 1t was dark and
rainy and Soldat was in a hurry to
get to hotel in the heart of the city.
He was walking east on Grand ave-
nue. and when he approached the rail-
way crossing he noticed that the
gates on the eastside of the track had

we're going down. He made a rush
to get across the track, and just as
he reached the center of the track the
switch engine backed up and struck
him.
Soldat was not unconscious when
taken from under the engine aud IS
soon as possible an ambulance was
called and the wounded man removed
to the Kenosha hospital, where DIR.
Robinson attended him. TWAS found
that all the bones of the leg had been
broken and that the only chance to
save the life of the man was to am
putate the leg at the hip.
Soldat is a single man and has been
employed by the company for some
time. He states that the accident
was largely due to the rain and the
darkness, as it was impossible for him
to see the switch engine.
The friends of Soldat in Chicago
have been notified and they are ex-
pected to come to Kenosha and attend
to him.

Former kenosha Man is Elected
President Of the Oregon Cen
trail Railway
LINE TO REACH RICH SECTION

Robert A. Mari, an old Kenosha
boy and formerly clerk in the First
National bank here, has been elected
president and general manager of the
Oregon Central Railway company
and he took charge of the work on
last Monday morning. Alonzo Cleav-
er, of LIE Grande, Oregon, has been
the president and manager of the
line and Mr.. Mari has served as
assistant manager, but Eastern
stockholders in the company, becom
ing dissatisfied with the management
of Cleaver, decided to advance Mr..
MARI to the higher position. While the
road is new one it is now building
into one of the most fertile regions
of Oregon and it is the plan of the
company to work out great system
Of railways with this line as a starting
point.
President Mari has been living in
Oregon for several years. He went
West nine years ago and worked for
several years as a mining expert. He
organized number of mining com
panies and served as mining engineer.
Three years ago he became interested
in the Oregon Central and was soon
after made one of the officials of the
company. The railway under the
management of Cleaver seems to
have had troubles of its own and the
lack of material made it impossible
to advance the road as rapidly as the
stockholders demanded. It is ex-
pected that under the leadership of
Mr.. Mari the road will be built to the
great beet sugar fields of Oregon be-
fore the close of another year.

Meeting Monday Night

Railway Committee Tries to Hold a
Meeting Monday Night
The special railway committee of
the common council attempted
to hold meeting at the Office of
City Attorney John c. Slater on We'd
nesday evening but the usual fiasco
resulted as Chairman O'Brien and
Alderman e. c. Alseman were the
only members of the committee who
showed up for the meeting. The
other members of the committee we're
busy some place else and they did not
even send regrets. No action was
taken in regard to the new franchise
ordinance presented by President
Frost and Chairman O'Brien an
nounced this morning that no action
would be taken until the entire COM
mittee could be gotten together. The
aldermen seem to have little interest
in the matter and are evidently will
ing to let it drag along for another
year. 1t is possible that the fran
chise ordinance will be laid before
the council at the special meeting GA
Monday evening but the committee
will have no report on it at that time.

NEEDS MORE ROOM
Kenosha Hospital Filled to it's Capacity
and More Room is Needed

The Kenosha Hospital Association
will in the very near future face a
grave question as it is daily becoming
apparent that the present hospital is
not large enough to accommodate all
that are seeking entrance. This
morning it is announced that the
hospital has twenty-five patients and
for the past few months the capacity
of the hospital has been tested. When
man was badly injured by being
run down by train last night it was
found that the wards were so full
that 40 place could be found for him
and he was placed in the operating
room. AS this room is liable to be
needed at any time some new place
must be found for the patient. If the
business of the hospital continues to
improve an addition will be found
necessary. The hospital is rapidly
becoming self-supporting institu~
ton and in another year it is thought
that the receipts will be sufficient to
meet the expenditures.

THEODORE LETTING DEAD

Park Street Wagon Maker Died at hi
Home on Ashland Avenue, Friday
Theodore A. Letting, one of the old
residents of the city and man who
has engaged in the wagon making
business here for nearly forty years,
died at his home on Ashland avenue
on Friday afternoon after long ILL
ness from complication of diseases.
Mr.. Letting had been confined to his
bed for the last three weeks with
dropsy and his death was not unex-
pected by the members and friends of
the family.
Theodore Antony Letting was born
at Bnchholz, Germany, June S, 1841.
He came to Kenosha when a young
man and worked as wagon maker in
the city ever since. His shop at the
corner of Church and Park streets is
one of the old land marks of the city.
Mr.. Letting became we'll known in
the city few years ago on account
of the hard fight which he made
against paying certain paving assess
ments levied by the city against his
little piece of property on Park street.
Letting appeared before the council
nearly a score of times and finally
succeeded in securing the rebate Of
taxes which he had asked for.
The deceased is survived by widow
and large family of children.

Visible Typewriter Company to be
Put on affirm Financial Basis
BY big Issue of Bonds
COMPANY TO START SOON
Expected That the Bond Issue Will be
Arranged so That Work at the
Plant Will Start Within
Another Week

1t is again reported that the Visible
Typewriter company, on Pleasant
street, is to start operations and if the
plans now being acted on are carried
out, the wheels in the big plant will
be in operation within another week
and the company will be assured of a
chance to show the people that the
typewriter business is a paying one.
Negotiations have been concluded for
the issue of large block of bonds on
the property of the company. The
bond issue will be at least a hundred
thousand dollars and provision will
be made to increase the amount of
bonds issued if it is found necessary.
A trust deed has been made out to the
Metropolitan Trust company in Chi
cago and this company will have
charge of the sale of bonds. It is re-
ported that the sale of the bonds is
already assured and that they will be
taken just as soon as the red tape in
connection with the issue is COM
pleted. 1t is understood that we'll
known financiers of Chicago, after
examining the plant and the patents
owned by the company, have become
convinced that the company will
prove a money maker and that these
men have agreed to furnish all the
backing necessary.
Manager Wollheim was not at the
plant this morning, but it was stated
there that arrangements were being
made to have the plant in opera ton
within the next few days. The men
in charge of the Office admitted that
the bonds had been issued but could
give no information as to who was be-
hind the deal. The attorney for the
company was in Chicago yesterday
and completed the work of securing
the bond issue, but he declined to dis
cuss the details stating that he would
prefer that such matters come from
the men interested in the plant.
The managers of the company have
not lost all of the time since the plant
closed down, as the expert machin-
lists have been 81 work getting out
luOQClS VI lnC LEW IndCUluG 10 O61
turned out by the company, and it is
certain that it wilt be a great i'm
provement over any former prodnct
Of the plant. The factory has been
put in excellent condition, and ar
rangements have been made to pay up
all the employees so that everything
will be started with clean balance
sheet.
The report that anothet Typewriter
company was to merg with the Visi-
bic has not been verified, but the
managers of the plant have admitted
that there will be something of this
sort later on in the year. They de-
cline to discuss the matter further.
Notwithstanding the fact that de-
tails in regard 10 the plant are hard
to get, every assurance IS given that
the plant will be operated with full
quota Of men.

Cash Cut in His Head

Cash Cut in His Head
While working on the Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul railroad tracks
a mile east of Somers Thursday,
Frank Bio, an Italian 40 years of age,
was probably fatally injured by being
struck by hand car. Bio, with
number of others, was at work on the
grade when the heavy rain forced
them to return to the Grove. The
men all mounted hand car and were
returning rapidly when the car
jumped the track, throwing Bio, who
was standing near the front, to the
ground. The rapidly moving car,
heavily laden with men, passed over
Bios body, cutting deep cash ten
inches long in the mans head. He
was at once carried to Union Grove
and DR.. McCraken summoned and the
wound treated, but, although still
alive, it is feared he cannot survive
the shock.
