ing work on its new lines with all
possible speed even to the extent of
working on Sunday and with the un-
usually fine weather the company
may complete its construction work
within the time limit set by its fran
chise. With fight in the Courts on
its hands on one side and the feeling
caused by the delay in building the
lines on the other it would not be a
wise move for the company to come
before the Council for any extension
of time on this ordinance.

The city loses the first round in the
fight to collect licenses from some of
the brewery agents for the first case
was dismissed Tuesday for lack of
evidence. The testimony of the sa-
loon men called as witnesses was
evidently given reluctantly and as
is perhaps natural enough they hest
tated to give any evidence against
the agents who supplied their beer.
1t is now certain that there is nothing
to be gained from the saloon men as
witnesses and the evidence needed
will have to be secured in some other
way. The members of the police
force may be able to help the city out
in these cases by putting in little
time gathering the necessary evil
dence. The time spent on the case
was not wholly lost, however, for
some evidence was brought out at the
hearing that will call for careful
investig alton of at least two of the
licenses under which saloons are do
ing business. It is expected that the
representatives of the city will go
right to work on a new case and keep
up the fight until decision of a
higher Court settles the matter one
way or the other. If the city is en-
titled to this license money, and there
is good reason to believe that it is,
there must be some way in spite of
pulls and politics to make the brewers
pay it and the longer they delay the
more expensive it will be for them in
the long run.

THE visit of the County Board of
Supervisors to the asylum at Racine
is no doubt a very pleasant social
function and one of the perquisites of
Office that the members of the Board
would be loath to relinq uish, but it can
have very little value for inspection
purposes. The time of this visit is
known too far in advance but the
visits that count are the ones that are
made by individual supervisors at
intervals during the year when the
management is not expecting them,
and it may be said to the credit of the
asylum that none of the members of
the Board has ever found much to
criticise whether he came with the
Board as body or alone. The plan
of bringing the Kenosha county pa
tents to this asylum has been very
generally approved by the friends and
relatives of the unfortunates and as
long as the Racine asylum is as well
managed as it is al present there will
be no necessity for Kenosha county to
go to the expense of building one.

STRIKE A SHORT ONE
Workmen for Wisconsin Central Stop
Work for a Day

WOrkmen for Wisconsin Central Stop
Work for Day
The town of Salem had labor trou-
bles on Monday morning, when all of
the section men employed by the Wis
consin Central Railway company at
the two sections in that town quit
work on account of reduction IN
wages. The strike lasted just one day
as the men returned to work at the
new wage scale on Tuesday and it is
thought they will remain in the en-
ploy Of the company. Up to Monday
the men had been paid at the rate Of
SIS day, but at that time announce
ment was made that the wages had
been reduced to $1.10 and all of the,
twenty men threw down their picks
and shovels and quit.
They talked the matter over during
the day and in the morning they re-
turned to the section and asked for
work at the reduced rate. It was
claimed by the foreman in charge of
the work that the company could Sc
cure plenty of men willing to take the
work at the rate of ST.. 10 and that con-
ditions would not warrant the paying
of higher wage at this time.

WHEN any contractor is so sure of
his standing, or stand in, whichever
you want to call it, with the Council
that he dares to go ahead with job
before his contract. is signed it is time
for little investigation on behalf of
the man who puts up the money, of
the ways and means, the why's and
wherefores of such moves. There
may be nothing wrong with these
paving contracts, they may be all
open and above board, but it is GER
tain1y not a very business like way
to transact the business of the city
and the aldermen 'are making no
money for the city letting contracts
at an advance of ST., 400 over the low
figures. If there was any misunder-
standing over the bids and any bidder
believed that he had been unfairly
treated it would have been a simple
matter to start all over again with a
perfect understanding between the
city and the bidders and advertise for
new bids. $1,4O0 probably does not
look like a huge sum to an alderman
but it is worth saving for the city for
all that and it looks as if it would
have been very simple matter to
save it.

BOOSTS THE CAPITAL
Bee Hive Fly Catcher Company
Raises Capital Stock From
$4,000 to 100000
WILL INCREASE THE OUTPUT

The Bee Hive Fly Catcher company,
one of the youngest industries of Ke-
nosha, has filed with the secretary Of
state an amendment to its articles of
organization by which the capital
stock of the company has been in
creased from $50, 600 to 100000. The
change in the stock of the company
has been made necessary by the large
increase in the demand for the pro-
duct of the firm, and during the COM
ing year the output will be greatly
Increased.
During the season just closed there
was great demand for the fly paper
made at the Kenosha factory and the
company was unable to fill the orders.
Four car loads of the paper were
being turned out weekly, but it is
claimed that they could dispose of at
least a car load day if the capacity
of the plant was increased. The Ke-
nosha product has proved it's com
mercia1 value and the business of the
company is no longer in the expert
mental stage. All of the original
stock Of the company was taken by
the managers, but it is understood
that part of the new issue will be
placed on the market. The amend
ment to the articles of organization
increases the number of directors
of the company from three to five.
New machinery is now being placed
in the plant and the number of men
employed is being increased in order
to get out the great amount of the
product that will be needed with the
opening of the fly paper season. The
agents of the company have sold
nearly the entire output of the plant
for the coming season and it is GER
tain that the Bee Hive plant will be
one of the busiest in'the city during
the spring and summer months. The
officers of the company are Col.
George w. Caruth, president; Joseph
A. Pitts, secretary and treasurer.

SHOOK DICE PUNCHED

Foreigners ArraiGned Before Justice
Donahue on Charge of Gambling
A little dice game in the saloon of
Joe Carpis on Main street on last
Tuesday night resulted in Carpis and
Frank Martin, who is alleged to have
been the victim of the game, being ar
raigned before Justice Donahue this
morning on charge of gambling
with dice. Both of the men pleaded
guilty to the charge and were fined SIS
and the costs of the action.
1t is alleged that Martin was the
man who was behind when the game
closed. He was behind to the amount
of $40 and he intimated this to the po-
lice officers and they promptly ar
rested both of the men. Carpis is al
legged to have paid back the losses of
the other man, but this did not stop
the prosecution.

TO WAIT TILL SPRING

Building of New st. Peters Church to
Be Laid Over
The new ST. Peters Church, which
was to have been started this fall, will
not be started until the early part of
next year and Lithuanian Catholics
of the city will probably continue to
worship with other Catholic parishes
until late in 1908. 1t had been planned
to have the foundations for the new
church laid during the present month,
but it has been found impossible to
get the material for the church so late
in the year and the bids for the con.
tract will not be received until the
early spring. 1t is planned to rush
the building as rapidly as possible
and it is thought that it will be com-
pleted by the first of October of next
year.

one. The Board can hardly expect
