The pastime has undergone some radical
changes, and only the fundamental princi-

In Davenport and other river towns fights

law repealed so that sparring-matelies can
be pulled off under the sanction Of the
state. Mac Connolly. a sporting promoter,
has offered to pay a license Of 1900 month
for the privilege OF holding spRrrinE
matches in Des Moines. Saloons are now
licensed for 500 month Connolly says
there is a demand among the people for
this athletic entertainment TO such an ex-
tent that a large license fee could Be paid

Root and Fogler winners of last years
international six-day bicycle race at Madi-
son sunare garden, have again teamed up
and will make another bid this year for
the big cycling prize when the pistol shot
sends off the bunch of champions from
every country on the night Of December 9.
Eddie Root can truthfully be called the
six-day champion Of the world, as for the
past two years he has demonstrated his
superiority at this style Of racing by win
ming in 1894, with Otto Dorlon. and turning
the same trick last year with Joe Fogler.
He and Fogler have been training for the
contest for some weeks-even before their
entry was accepted-as they received a
quiet tip to the effect that this seasons

bunch as ever started in the long week

to start on the journey with plenty Of
confidence, as they are very popular and
will have no end Of "rooters' to cheer
| them up. Root has already stated, and
makes no secret Of the tact, that he is
going to try to jump his field the very first

claims that he and Fogler will be strong

this winter, while at Racine, where
the intake pipe goes out 50 depth Of
fifty feet, there has been no trouble
with the ice. 1t is for the engineers
to decide whether the old intake pipe
shall be extended, or whether it would
be better to provide for the future by
building an entirely new intake large
enough to supply the additional
pumps that will surely be needed
within few years, if the city keeps
on extending, for we are outgrowing
our waterworks just as we have out
grown everything else. It will cost
lot of money to make our water sup

PLANS are said to be under way for
a rigid investigation of the liquor
trade of the drug stores by the state
authorities and the revenue officers.
From some things that have been
brought to our notice lately here in
Kenosha we think that the business
needs investigating and not because
the state may be losing some revenue
either. There is also some legislation
needed that will pEt the drug stores
exactly IN the same position as the
saloons in regard to the sale of liz uor
to minors and black1isted persons.
The law requires the saloon man to
satisfy himself that his customer
has the right to buy liquor and there
is no good reason why the drug store
owner should not be put under the
same restrictions. There are alto
gether too many loopho1es for the es-
cape of the drug men who indulge in
the practice of supplying liquor to all
Corners and the laws on the subject
should be charged so as to make them
easy of enforcement.

In spite of the severe weather the at.
tendance was very good. A number
of those who had been assigned pa
pers were absent so the meeting lasted
only until noon. The meeting was
called to order by Superintendent Ker-
win, and Miss Eva Button was chosen
to preside. A secretary pro tenn was
also elected after which the papers
were read and discussed.
The first paper was read by Miss
Rosa Button on 1.-THE Judicial De.
