RAGING
EXCITING HEATS
 AT WOODLAWN
D. I. Hart's Milton s. Jr. Ha, a Good Chance to Win Race
 This Afternoon.

Albany, Oct 19.-The harness rae. | ing at WOodlawn Park track yester- day was we'll attended and the card was one of the best, but of the four races only two were finished, al though fifteen heats were raced, and none of them was void of excitement. The 2:17 pace was hotly contested and there was some hard driving. Young Chimes was the favorite, al though Foeman was liked by many. In the 2:15 trot Nancy Nelson was the choice of the talent, but Tom Sharkey's horse. Lilly Stranger, had two heats to her credit. Tantilla, the favorite in the 2:19 trot, was beaten by Lady Ona after a hot contest. John Hall and Amblen were in collision in the first heat of the 2:14 pace and the sulkies were smashed, but neither drivers nor horses were injured. Libbie Queen, who came in last in the fourth heat of the 2:19 trot, fell exhausted after passing the wire.
 The meeting closes to-day, when Angus Pointer (2:O2&) will start in the free for all and will endeavor to break his record on half-mile track, and Alta Mcdonald will drive Sweet Marie an exhibition mile, which prob ably will be the mares last appear ance in Dublic.s

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Gates Close Down on the Zion City
Delivery Wagon

John Bates, driver for the Zion
City industries, had a narrow escape
from being killed at the Market street
crossing of tie North Western railway
Wednesday. Bates was driving west
and train was coming from the south
at the rate of forty miles an hour.
The crossing was not blocked by the
gates and Bates started to cross the
tracks. He had reached the center of
the east track, when the gates came
down with bang and a minute later
the train dashed in from the south
People who had watched the accident
expected to see the man and his
horses instantly killed, but Bates
turned his horses directly up the
tracks and drove south along the
tracks. In this way he managed to
get out of the way of the train.
The matter was reported to the To-
cal agent this morning by one Of the
aldermen of the city and demand
was made that more careful hagman
be placed at the crossing. Fortunate
~ Bates got out of the trap before an
other train arrived.

SHOWS BIG PROFIT
Annual Report Of the Chicago
and Milwaukee Railway Co.
Shows Profit for Investors
NO TAXES FOR KEHosHA

The owners of the Chicago & Mil
waukee Electric Railway company,
whose line now passes through Keno
sha county, directly west of the city,
must have,a bonanza if the earnings
of the road the past year are to be
taken as criterion. Previous to
this year the operations of the com
pany have been COINED to the state of
Illinois only, but cars have been
operated between Waukegan and
Kenosha since Dec. 1, 1905, and be-
fore the report of the present year is
submitted the earnings are expected
to show still larger gain as thriv-
ing business in this state will I'M
doubted1y be Done.
The repor ! last year, just issued,
shows thu Ae gross earnings of the
company W ere 1894, 874.63, the operat-
ing expenses $244, 551.84, and the net
earnings $3.50, 322.8O. This was a
large gain over the preceding year.
The net earnings for the month of
December last year passed the mark
Of the month in i "A by $50, ALSO.
This shows that the company is doing
nice business and there will be
something coming to the town of Mt.
Pleasant the present year in the form
of taxes.
Kenosha will not be benefited to
any great extent by the taxes of the
company, as the greater portion of its
system will be outside of the city.
The Chicago and Milwaukee COM
pany will Of course pay no taxes in
this county this year as the line into
this county was not built until after
the annual assessment had been
made. at present it will be neces-
sary for the company to pay all of its
taxes in Kenosha county into the cof-
| fers of the treasurer of the town OF
Pleasant Prairie. In another year,
however, the line will be built through
| the town of Somers and the taxes will
be divided between the two towns.
A comparison of the business done
by the Chicago & Milwaukee and the
Beggs line to the northward shows
| that the line from the south is doing a
much larger business. Of course the
lime is a longer one and it has more
cities tributary to it.
| The company is now seeking a
right of way in Milwaukee and a re-
yised franchise ordinance will be sent
the Milwaukee common council at its
next meeting. It is claimed that the
company will be most liberal in its
| offer to Milwaukee and it is thought
that this fact will make it possible
for the franchise to be secured with
the least possible delay.

SOME enterprising capitalist can
make big interest on his investment
by putting up a building to house the
different fraternities and societies of
the city. Most of them are practi-
ca1ly homeless, now, and those that
have quarters are not satisfied with
their accommodations. The lodges
and societies are all in fourishing
condition, and the man who would
put up a building in every way suit
able for their needs could make long
time leases at a big rental. The
lodges want the best, but they are
willing to pay for it, and there is a
splendid opportunity for investment
in supplying their demands.

CONSIDERABLE excitement and APP
prehension has been caused among
the wholesale and retail liquor dealers
of Illinois by verdict which was
handed down in Judge Tuthi1l's court
last week. In a suit for damages
instituted in behalf of the children of
a drunken father against the saloon
keepers alleged to have made a
drunkard of him, the jury returned
verdict for 81, 500 in favor of the
children. A motion for a new trial
was made Immediately and the case
will be bitterly contested in the higher
courts. If the verdict stands it will
establish a precedent which will un-
doubted1y be made the basis for
many similar suits. The case was
instituted under an act passed by the
Illinois Legislature in 1874 which
seems to have been completely over
looked until the present time. It is
quite possible that similar act is
lost in the statutes of Wisconsin, and
now that attention has been called to
it by the Illinois case we may see
similar actions brought in this state,
or if there is no law of the kind in this
state an attempt may be made to pass
one. 1t will pay all parties interested
to give this matter their careful at
tention. 1t looks as if the law in
question might be made very
effective weapon in the hands of the
opponents of the, saloon and if it wins
in Illinois, there is no doubt but that
an attempt will be made to get similar
legislation in all the states. The
Illinois law is comprehensive
measure. 1t not only provides that
''every husband, wife, child, parent,
guardian, employer or other person,
who shall be injured in person or
property or means Of support, by any
intoxicated person, or in consequence
of the intoxication, hibitual or other
wise, of any person shall have right
of action in his or her name, severa1ly
or jointly, against any person or
persons who shall, by selling or Civ
ing intoxicating liquors, have caused
the intoxication in whole or in part of
such person or persons, 4 but damages
may also be recovered against "any
person owning, renting, leasing or
permitting the occupation Of any
building or premises, and having
knowledge that intoxicating liquors
are to be sold therein, or who, having
leased the same for other purposes,
shall knowingly permit therein the
sale Of any Intoxicating liquors that
have caused in whole or in part the
intoxication Of any person.

widow of Joseph DeAnge, Killed on
Rai1way Tracks, to Receive $4,000
Mrs. Joseph DeAnge, widow of an
Italian who was killed on the tracks
of the North Western Railway COM
pany south of Kenosha some two
years ago, has been located in Italy
and in short time she will receive
the money that has been paid into
court by the Chicago & North Western
Railway Co. Mrs. DsAnge has two
small children and her husband was
her sole support. He had been in
America but a short time when he
met death. Public Administrators
Henry Jordan at once started a suit
against the company for damages,
and after some delay the suit was set
tied for $1,000.
Since the settlement of the suit
many Of the former friends Of De-
Ange have filed claims against the es-
tate for various causes, but it is prob
able that few of the claims will be al
lowed and the larger amount of the
money will be sent to the widow. The
money will be forwarded to Mrs. De-
Ange just as soon as the proper
proofs Of her identity have been filed
in the county court.

Mysterious Power.

Man can utilize and control electrical
power, but cannot describe its actions
by analogies with which we are IA
miliar, says a writer in the Electrical
World.
Among the things that we do know,
the writer tells us, is lhat the electric
energy travels outside Of the transmit
ting conductor along 1t, but not
through it and that it is carried by
two "fuxes," electric and magnetic,
which are at right angles to each other
and move sidewise in a. direction at
right angles to both with the speed OF
light. These fluXes contain energy as
a necessary property and take it with
them as they go, but we do not know
whether they move through the ether
or with it or in exactly what they con-
sist, though we know the mathematical
relations Of one to the other. In the
writer's concluding words:
It would seem as though we might re-
ceive experimental demonstration on these
moot points before long When such DEM
ons tration Is completed we expect to claim
an understanding Of the electric drive,
but even then it may be difficult for us to
form mental picture Of 1t, SO based are
all our mental pictures upon sensation
memories, Perhaps we may need an
analogy to think about even then.
While we are waiting to know all
about 1t, however, there are certain
analogies that help us. Students have
long been aided by comparing the flow
Of electricity through wire with that
of water in pipe, and Professor
Bracket Of Princeton has shown that
still stronger resemblance exists be-
tween electric transmission of energy
and transmission by means Of a NOV
ing belt or rope Yet all these resem-
blances fail at some point Or another,
and it is question whether we would
be better able to control or transmit
the mysterious power If we knew its
secret as we know the secrets of other
forces.

II IS strange that these yellow mac

IT is strange that these yellow mag
azine writer's always feel in honor
bound to refuse to ''divulge the source
of their information" when called
upon to substartiate some Of their
sensational statements. Poultney
Bige1ow is the latest to take refuge
behind this time-worn subterfuge.
Brought before the senate committee
he was forced to admit that he could
not have gathered any information
himself upon which to base his savage
criticisms of the Panama canal man
agement because he was on the 18TH
mus less than thirty hours, but he
still maintains that his attack was
justified because somebody-he de-
clines to say whom-told him all
about the state of affairs down there.
The senate committee and Secretary
Taft are wasting time on Bige1ow.
He is not important enough to war
rant so much attention. When he
breaks out they should consider the
source and pay no attention to him.

the water hot Dissolve in 1t table
spoonful of borax. Run threads around
soiled spots on the blanket so that they
may be found after they are wet.
Rinse the blankets up and down vigor-
ously, rubbing only the marked spots.
Never rub soap directly on them. Pre-
pare another hot suds with borax and
put the blankets in it. Rinse up and
down for several minutes, then rinse
in clear hot water softened with borax
Rinse In as many hot waters as neces-
sary, then run blankets through a

The president Of Cornell university
finds an alarming phenomenon" in the
universal passion for money and
whatever money buys" Much the same
warning was sounded thousands Of
years ago, as we read in the Hebrew
Scriptures, and has been repeated In
about every age down to modern times.
The phrase money makes the man.
comes down to us from the Greek poet
Alceus, contemporary Of Sappho, In a
description Of his own era.
Money is more widely distributed to-
day perhaps than ever before, and the
masses reach up for luxuries which
were long the sole possession Of the
wealthy few. But wastefulness Of mon
ey is passion that soon corrects itself
in the individual. The passion for saw
as conspicuous as reckless expenditure
and maybe shows that the tendency Of
mankind is toward providence as a
guarantee for the future. The man
born poor wants to spare his offspring
the bitter ordeal Of poverty. There are
evil spots in our money making civiliza-
ton, but in principle it is sound and
one day will abolish the notion that
financial success" is the highest hui
man goal.

THE poor of the city are getting
through the winter in fairly good
shape, and there are fewer cases of
actual restitution than usual. The
demand for labor of all kinds has
been SO great in Kenosha for the past
two years that any man willing and
able to work could get some kind of a
Job, and the poorer classes il general
were we'll prepared to face the winter.
There have been about as many calls
as ordinarily on the city and the char
liable organizations, but the need Of
relief does not seem to be as pressing
as in former years.

Colonies For Regeneration.

England's new law for rejecting In
digent aliens who seek refuge on her
shores leads the Brooklyn Eagle to
suggest that the nations troubled with
alien criminals and irreciaimable nui-
sances may one day make common
cause against this evil. We are deal
ing with the matter specifically in
this country and seem to be actually
permitting Italy and possibly other
countries to unload their criminals
upon us. England has herself been a
patient victim In this respect, having
q system of poor laws which furnish
temptation to foreign degenerates
The Eagle thinks that an agreement
might be made between the nations to
use some large island for a colony
where the hardened degenerates could
be kept under restraint and those less
demoralized given chance for a bet
ter life Some island of the New Gale
donia group Is pointed out as being
suitable for the purpose. Strictly
penal colonies are not popular In this
age, but the regenerative feature OF
this scheme should win the support OF
moralists and philanthropists

SHOT HIS HIRED MAN
Charles PembIeton. Formerly of
This County, Is in Jail at
Geneva, Illinois
JEALOUSY CAUSES TIE DEED

A telegram from Geneva, Ill +, states
that Charles Pemb1eton, former res
ident of Kenosha, is in Jail in that
village charged with shooting and
fatally wounding Hans Elneff who
had been employed by him as hired
man.
Pembleton is farmer who formerly
lived in the town of Randall, but
some time ago he moved to farm
near Geneva. E1neff had been en-
ployed on the farm for some time, and
it is alleged that the attentions of
Mrs. Pembleton to the hired man had
caused her husband to become in
sanely jealous. He found the two
talking together on Wednesday even
ing and quarrel followed. During
the quarrel it is alleged that the
farmer became so violently angry
that he drew revolver and fired on
E1neff. He was arrested shortly after
the shooting.
The kilograms from Geneva state
that Pembleton had been insane at
intervals for several years, and that
he was committed to an asylum from
this county and also from an Illinois
county. At the time of the shooting
he was on parole. Mrs. Pemb1eton
was the only person who witnessed
the shooting.
An examination of the records of
the county court here fails to show
any record of the commitment of
Pembleton to a Wisconsin hospital,
but it is claimed that he was known
to be deranged before he removed
from this county.

of a house standing flush with the

decided to warn them, and perhaps
prevent a burglary. Putting his head
into the window he called out:
s'Halloa! good peo-
That was all he said. A whole pail
full Of water struck him in the face,
and, as he staggered back, woman
shrielzed out:

DARING HOLD UP IN RACINE
Two Men Hold Upa Saloon and Manage
to Get Money and Va1uables

to Get Money and Valuables
A daring hold up was committed in
the saloon of Hans Nelson, 1870 State
street in Racine about AS o'clock on
Thursday night in which six persons
were held up and robbed of two
watches and about SOS. 1t is thought
the robbers escaped on northbound
North Western freight train, and the
Milwaukee police were notified.
Shortly before midnight two strang-
ers walked into the Nelson saloon and
went to the rear of the building, ap-
parently to warm themselves at the
stove. Edward Buggs, druggist,
Daily Rasmussen, Charles Dims, and
two others whose names could not be
learned were standing at the bar at
the time.
No attention was paid to the strang-
ers, and while they were standing
back of the stove they both tied white
mufaers about their faces. Suddenly
one of the men drew two revolvers and
the other one ordered the men to
throw up their hands. A watch and
81 was taken from Rasmussen, an Ell
gin watch from Buggs, and So from
Sims. One of the robbers then went
back of the bar and robbed the cash
register of $40. A few dollars were
also taken from two strangers in the
saloon.
The police Office in this city was
notified of the crime just after mid
night and the roundsmen were ord
cred to keep close watch for the
hold up men, but it seems that they
did not come to Kenosha.

Frank Falby, of Evanston, spent
Wednesday with Kenosha friends.
Peddlers are picked up every few
days selling articles without license,
and they claim to be selling from
samples and taking orders from
which the goods will be delivered
later. In the first place, they are not
allowed to sell goods from house to
house without license unless they
manufacture their own production,
and, secondly, when selling from
samples,housewives are often duped.
The delivery is seldom made.
