Nor one IN hundred bicycles car
ries light as the law directs and at
this season of the year when darkness
falls early, narrow escapes from acct
dents to riders and pedestrians are of
nightly occurrence. During the rush
hour when the factories let out it is
10 uncommon thing to see twenty or
thirty bicycles following a single
light along any of the paved streets
and the pedestrian who attempts to
cross does so at his peril, for the
wheels make no noise and carrying
no lights they are right on him before
he has the slightest warning of their
coming. OF course the riders of un-
lighted wheels take chances on being
run down themselves, but the risks
they take are not anywhere near as
great as those they expose others to.
Pedestrians are entitled to protection
from the danger of being run down
by these un1ighted wheels, but they
are not likely to get it unless some
serious accident happens to show up
the 1axity of the officials in enforcing
the law in this regard.

TO QUIT UNCLE SAM
Conrad Shearer, Long an EmpIOye
at the Post Office, Resigns
His Position
TO AID MANUFACTURERS

4.
Conrad Shearer who has been con-
nected with the Kenosha postof1ce in
different positions for the past FIVE or
six years, resigned his position with
the government this morning, the
resignation to take effect this evening
and tomorrow morning he will begin
his duties as assistant secretary of
the henosha Manufacturers Associa-
ton. Mr.. Shearer will be in charge
of the free employment bureau of the
association and will have a large part
OF the management of the business
interests of the association. The of
fees of the new associa ton will be in
the new Scho1er & Funck building
where a suit of rooms has been Sc
cured. The furniture for the new Of
fees will arrive the latter part of the
week and al that time the rooms will
and the manufacturers.
Mr.. Shearer will leave Wednesday
for Chicago, Boston, Buffalo and other
cities of the country to study the
workings of the Manufacturer AS
sociations in those cities inIorder that
he may be better able to take up his
work in Kenosha. In his work for the
Association Mr.. Shearer..will come in
to contact with many of the laboring
men of the city and he is aptly fitted
for the work of his new position He
knows nearly every laboring man IN
the city and has been closely associ-
ated with them Ia his work at the
postofice and in other lines of work.
The Free Employment Bureau
promises to be great aid both to the
workmen and to the employers as it
will assure every man in the city who
is looking for steady work chance
to earn living at all seasons of the
year and in addition to this it will
aid materially in filling up the empty
benches in the various factories in
Kenosha.
The present plans are to open the
new central Offices of the Association
on next Monday morning and Mr..
Shearer will return from his eastern
trip by that time.
It is not known who will succeed
Mr.. Shearer as clerk in the Kenosha
postoffice but it will probably mean a
general advan cement of the men now
employed at the Office.

NOTICE rs SERVED
No More Dances or Boxing Shows to Be
Held in Old Masonic Hall

No More Dances or Boxing Shows to Be
Held in Old Masonic Hall
Chief of Police O'Hare this morning
served formal notice on theowners of
the old Masonic hall, demanding that
it be repaired at once and directing
the owners to notify the tenants of
the third floor of the building that no
dances or heavy gatherings can be
held on the third floor of the building
until it has been repaired. The
notice will interfere materially with
the program of some of the members
of the Eagles Club, as plans had been
laid for holding a number of boxing
shows at the hall during the winter
months and under the orders of the
city these can not be held. The
knights of Columbus hall which is
directly above the broken portion of
the wall will also be closed to dances
and this will interfere with the social
season of the many lodges which sub
let the hall. 1t is understood that the
work of repairing the building will be
started as soon as possible and it is
possible that it will be completed by
the opening of the new year.

FEELING rs STRONG
Pleasant Prairie Resident Pro.
tests Against Delays in
Dealing With Danger
NO NEW LESSON IS TAUGHT.

This paper is in receipt of letter
from one of the most prominent men
in the town of Pleasant Prairie and
the man takes occasion to express a
pertinent opinion in regard to the
conditions at the Latin and Rand
powder mills. The letter is self ex-
panatory. 1t follows:
Editor News:
The people of Pleasant Prairie do
not see new danger in explosion in In
diana as you state in your issue of
Oct. IL, but dar ger as old as dyna
mite. That swe were aware of this
danger, and sought to control or
minimize it is abundantly proven by
the record at Madison and in the Cir
cult Court at Keuosha.
How was it we fought losing fight
in battling this terrible thing?
When the blast comes, as come it
will if present conditions continue, at
whose door will be laid the RESPONSE
bility for the disaster that will fol-
low. What influence was it that post
poned and delayed our case in the Cir
cult Court until it could be used as
weapon to defeat our efforts at Madi-
son? What influence was it that
caused men of kenosha to refuse to
sign our petition to the legislature
praying for relief from the dangerous
conditions existing here? What in
auence called so called Experts" to.
the stand who testified that the de-
structive zone of eig hteen cars of
dynamite in explosion did not exceed
800 yards? And still others who
testified that the explosion of 10000
mittedly in the magazine at Pleasant
Prairie at one time, would not injure
buildings one.half mile away, except
possibly to break a few glass, or
crack little plaster. Those are the
conditions that confronted us, and the
record of the case would be interest
ing reading just now.
But what were we to do? We had
no experts" to go on the stand and
proclaim that those men, we'll say,
were wrong, although many of US be-
Ieved it, but what do the Dispatches
from Fontanet say. That the destruc
tive zone of $4,000 pounds of dyna
mite, less than half the Pleasant
Prairie magazine contained, was two
miles, and they have the wrecked
buildings and manned people to
testify it.
No, the people of Pleasant Prairie
see no new danger but fully realize
that they are living in the shadow of
an old one, but perhaps the recent
calamity in Indiana will set some
other people thinking what will be
the effect when 10000 pounds of
dynamite and $4,000 kegs of powder
"Let go" and please remember
when the devastating blast sweeps
over us that we were unwilling VIC
Tins, for the conditions were forced
upon us, and by whom?
PLEASANT PRAIRIE.

TO EMPLOY DETECTIVE
Insurance Companies Will Make Effort
To Stop the Breaking of Plate Glass


Representatives of insurance COM
pan1es insuring plate glass in Keno
sna are planning to hire private de-
tective to look after the boys who
nave been breaking the glass during
the past few months. 1t is claimed
that Ia the last three months twenty
two plate glass windows have been
broken and that the insurance COM
panies have paid losses aggreoatine
"a, 600 for the destruction of the glass.
While some of the breakage has been
accidental, most of it has been the
result Of the use of air guns by boys.
The agents of the company have
appealed 10 the police, but the APP
Peals have not been productive of re-
suits and it is now claimed that it is
necessary to hire private detective
to look into the matter and secure the
arrest of some of the the parties
breaking the glass. The last glass to
be broken was at the building owned
by Charles Hastings on Market
street. The glass was broken Mon.
day night and no trace has been
foundaof the person responsible for
the breaking of the glass.

PROBABLY the street railway COM
pany thinks that the fact that. the
crushed stone is to be used on its own
new tracks and that there is urgent
need of haste in completing the work,
is excuse enough, but it is danger
Gus precedent to establish to permit
freight to be run over the local line
for any purpose whatever. After the
company becomes accustomed to
carrying freight cars over the line
for itself it might take the notion
that it could run them for other peo-
ole also.

GOOD RESULTS have followed turn
ing the caregof the City Cemetery over
to an Association. How would it do
to put the street cleaning department
under the supervision of committee
of interested citizens giving them
the same amount OF money to work
with as was expended this year and
see what they could get done for
it? The city could not lose anything
by making the experiment. =

ILLINOIS fishermen are preparing a
bill which they propose to rush
through the present special session of
the legislature of that state which by
imposing prohibitive license or all
''outside" fishing boats will practi-
ca1ly bar Wisconsin fishermen from
Illinois waters and force them out of
business altogether during the closed
season In this state. The passage of
such bill in the Illinois legislature,
and the Illinois fishermen claim that
they have influence enough to put it
through, will put the finishing touch
to the troubles of the Wisconsin fish
ermen and will undoubtedly force
many of them out of business. With
the heavy taxes imposed on the in
dustry in their own state the Wiscon-
sin fishermen cannot hope to compete
successfully with the Illinois fisher
men with the additional handicap of
another heavy tax to pay IN Illinois
or the alternative of going out of bust
ness for sixty days. The present Sit
uation shows very clearly the need of
uniform fish and game laws in all
states bordering on the great lakes.
Undoubtedly a closed season would
in the long run greatly benefit the
fishing industry, but it should be the
same for all. There is no sense or
justice in putting the Wisconsin fish
ermen out of business on the plea of
protecting the fish when the fisher
men of other states are permitted to
take them at all times and seasons.
