PLAN NEW AIR LINE
St. Paul Railroad to Make Exten-
siye Changes in Near Fu-
ture in West Line
BUYING RIGHTS OF WAY

Plans have been completed by the
ST. Paul road to reconstruct portions
Gifts Milwauk ee-C Chicago double track
system to insure practically an air
line between the two points. affording
the chance for better time and i'm
proving the line generally.
For this purpose the company has
purchased new right-of-way strip of
land between the north branch of Oak
creek, near lakewood station, and a
point four miles south of it, and nego-
tiations are on for the purchase of
right-of-way clear through Kenosha
Gounty. This runs from 100 to $50
feet in width, and is about twelve
miles south of Milwaukee. At this
point the present line curves some
distance to the westward, and by the
proposed reconstruction it will be
moved eastward an average of 1000
feet, making it perfectly straight from
there to point some distance south
of Corliss.
The company will begin active con
struction operations at once, and will
grade and lay an entirely new double
track line on the new right-cf-way, as
we'll as making similar changes at
various points on the line to Chicago.
This work will require several months
and will represent an expense Of sew
eral hundred thousands of dollars.
The mpletion of this air line will
again bring up the problem Of oO-nin-
ute trains to Chicago. The North
Western is completing a similar air
line.
The Milwaukee road will shortly
make an important Improvement at
Nashotah, Wis, which has been under
consideration for several years, and
which is intended to eliminate dam
gefous crossing and inconvenient
freight house there. The plans are to
construct viaduct over the tracks at
the passenger station there, as we'll as
moving the freight house to point
where it can be reached with less Gam
ger and Inconvenience. Several acci-
dents of serious character have been
narrowly averted at Nashotah ia. the
past few summer seasons.

Trustees Of Fire Department do
Not Take up the Question Of
Extension of Fire Limits
COMMISSIONERS MAY ACT
Insurance Companies Have Paid Their
Usual Stipend for the Support
of the Volunteer Fire Depart
ment of the City

The trustees of the Kenosha fire
department met in regular session at
the city hall Monday night, and it was
expected that they would take some
action to recommend to the common
council an ordinance for the extension
Of the fire districts of the city, but no
action was taken. In fact the matter
was not laid before the trustees as had
been expected.
Some time ago move was started
by parties interested to secure an ex-
tension Of the fire limits west as far
as Chicago street and the matter has
been Informally discussed by the
board Of fire and police commissioners.
As yet the board has filed no recon-
mendation with the common council,
but it is stated that such action will
be taken after the next meeting of
the board.
The plan is to extend the fire limits
west to Chicago street in order to
prevent the erection of any more
frame buildings within this district.
It is claimed that the matter was
brought up on account of the an
nouncement that the local chapter of
the w. r. C. was planning to take the
old Unitarian church and move it to
a lot on Wisconsin ST. This plan it
is said has been abandoned and while
the women of the corps may take the
old church they will make an effort
to have it placed on a lot near the
business district.
Notwithstanding this change in
plans many people are still urging the
extension of the fire limits, claiming
that at the present time the business
district Of the city is in danger Of
destruction by. fire on account of the
erection of SO many frame buildings
in such close proximity.
The present fire limits of the city
were established many years ago, and
1T will be necessary for the city coun-
Gil to pass an ordinance in order to
make many changes in them. Several
times during the past few years efforts
have been made to provide for such a
change, but the aldermen have
seemed to be opposed to any action
of this sort.
Kenosha is growing at such rapid
rate that it seems possible that the
new council will look into this matter
and it is possible action will be taken.
At the meeting of the trustees of
the department it was reported that
nearly all of the insurance companies
had paid the tax to the city for the
support of the volunteer department
and this money will be left in the
treasury until the annual distribution
takes place the first of next year.
The only business Of interest to the
firemen at the meeting Monday night
was the appointment of committees as
follows:
Finance #. w. Becker, j. H. Veitch
and William Hill.
Claims Frank Dosenmagen, John
Mcconnell and M. r. Barber.

Safety Railway Switch Company
Of Kenosha is Organized With
a Capital of $50, 600
TAKE OVER RAYMOND PATENT
Company is to Engage in the Manufac-
ture of Unique Railway Switch
Which is Claimed Will Revo-
1utionize Railroading

Kenosha has a new incorporated
company, for on Tuesday afternoon
number of prominent business men
met at the Office of Attorney James
Cavanagh, and organized a company
to be known as the "Safety Railway
Switch Company" of Kenosha. The
company is organized with capital
stock of $4,000 and incorporation
papers were flied with the secretary
of state today. The incorporators of
the new company are Harry Raymond,
Edward Frandsen, and julius /.
Pabst all of Kenosha. The stock of
the company is divided into shares of
500 each, and it is said that nearly
all of the stock has already been sub
scribed for.
The company is organized for the
manufacture of a safety railway
switch which has recently been
patented by Harry Raymond of this
city. Raymond some time ago gained
fame by his work in making a con-
trivance for utilizing ocean waves
as means of power, but this second
invention is claimed to be entirely
practical and it is said that it will
completely revolutionize railroading
IN the United States. The suggestion
for the invention was given TO Ray
mond by recent railway wrecks which
resulted from misplaced switches.
Models of the invention have been
made and it is claimed that there is a
great future for Raymond and his
company. The device is a switch
which is automatically locked and
opened by the use of third rail
system on the railway. It is claimed
that the rail is so set that train
moving at a rate of hundred miles
an hour will set the switch perfectly.
Men who have carefully investigated
the patent and who have invested
their money in the new company, de-
clare that the patent of Raymond is
one of the greatest contributions ever
made to railway equipment.
1t has been shown to the managers
Of a number of railway companies and
these men admit that if it can be CON
structed IN a practical way it will
revo1utionize the work of rai1roading
in the United States.
With Raymond switch the fear for
accidents to trains as result of mis-
placed switches will be entirely re-
moved and added to this is the fact that
railway companies will be able to do
away with large number of employees
now in service to take care of the
switches.
The first meeting of the directors of
the new company will be held on next
Saturday and at that time some steps
will be taken to determine on the
future plans of the company. It is
the plan of the promoters to erect a
factory for the manufacture of the
switch as soon as possible and it is
probable that the plant may be located
in Kenosha.
The future development of the
business will be watched with a great
deal of interest by Kenosha people,
who have followed the work of Ray
mond's inventive genius during the
past few years.

MAY NOT RE-oRGANIzE
Managers of City League Baseball
Teams Fail to Get Together

There seems to be a good reason to
believe that the Kenosha City League
of baseball teams will not be in play
ing form this season, as several meet
ings of the managers of the teams
have been held, but none of these
meetings has resulted in reorganiza-
ton. The managers of the teams
seem to be decidedly 1ukewarm on
the proposition and there is no
enthusiasm. In the meantime the
teams are being re-org anized and
there will be plenty of the SC called
'sprairie" ball games during the COM
ing months.
# the City league fails to re.olgan-
ize there is some talk of second
baseball team being organized to rep
resent Kenosha which will play on
Sundays at Central Park. 1t is
hardly thought that such team
would be paying investment for the
managers.

Death of a Good Citizen.

Henry f. Dahnke died at his home
in this city last Tuesday morning al
3 o'clock, May s, 1906. little more
than "a years of age.
Mr.. Dahnke had been i'll since the
goth of December last of liver and
organic diseases of a complex ma

his death was pronounced pneu.

physicians and the mineral proper.
ties of Dawson Springs, but found
no permanent relief. His demise
was therefore expected, but when
the announcement was made Tues.
day morning that Henry Dahnke
was dead there was considerable
surprise and the city was immed-
ately thrown into mourning. Few
men of his cqua intance could
boast OF more friepds and none en-
ioyed greater confidence and esteem.
The deceased was son OF H. f.
DaRnke, Sr He was born March,
1872, and reared in Illinois, and
came from Nashville, that State,
to this city in 1888 when about 10
years of age, engaging in business
with. his brother, George, who 10
Gated here in 1887. These gentle
men began then in a small way,
iustituting Dahnke's Cafe, which
has since become known is one of
the most popular establishments of
the kind in Tennessee. Indeed no
one became acquainted with our
city without knowing Dahnke's.
This was the result of polite and
courteous treatment and uniform
attention to every visitor. 1t was
not perfunctory, but one of the
of these men. Es-
pecially was it true of Henry Dahnke
to treat his neighoor kindly, and
this is reflected in every phase of
his life. Many an act of charity
and kindness was dispensed by his
hand which the world never came
to know. and many silent tear
is shed to his memory.
In 1895 the brothers bought the
the Union City ice plant, Of which
Henry Dahnke became manager.
To this they added the coal BUSH
ness, and like the little cafe and
soda fount they prospered and grew
With the same care and attention.
People of Union City will remember
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1906-05-11

more than one occasion in days
gone by when extraordinary courte-
sizes were extended to them by these
gentlemen while a selfish concern
could have easily imposed extor-
tions; they also remember how on
more than one occasion by the ex-
traordinary efforts of these citizens
coal famine in Union City was
averted. These things are matters
of business, yet they bring to mind
the difference between an honest
man and one with a soulless bust
ness, and the blessings attending
the former.
Mr.. Dahnke was married in 1899
to Miss Irene Watson, of New Mad
rid, Mo, who survives him with
two children, Henry, Jr-, and Fred,
aged 5 and 3 years respectively.
Mrs. Dahnke is sister of Mrs. X.
I. Curtin, of this city, and of Robt.
Watson, who was present at the
funeral Wednesday. The heart of
every citizen goes out to them in
this sad affection.
About one year ago Mr.. Dahnke
became a member of the M E
Church and in his Christian life, as
in everything else, he was honest,
true and conscientious. He was
also a member of the Odd Fellows,
Elks and Masonic lodges, and these
remember as they knew him, use-
full. honorable and worthy gentle
man. No man was attached to his
family with greater devotion and
no one thought more OF his friends.
1t is a sad hour IN his home and
a sad day to our citizens. He
leaves also a sister, Elizabeth, and |
four brothers, Conrad, George, Fer
dinand and John, to whom our sym
pathies are extended.
