Govern of Chicago got his ''needins'
in the language Of the street for
while he was the lowest bidder for the
paving on Rowland avenue the con-
tract went to John o. Jones, the sec
ond lowest bidder. Ia doing this the
Council made it part of the resolu-
ton that McGovern was not re
sponsible bidder on account of the
fact that his bond was faulty. The
contract for the work with Jones as
the contractor will be let at once.
Sidewalk Ordinance Passed
The sidewalk ordinance which was
recently published was passed By the
Council and it will become law at
once. Before the ordinance was given
its final reading it was amended so as
to make the walks on the narrow
streets FIVE instead of six feet in width
and few other minor changes were
made. The ordinance will be pub
lished in the official pape- of the city
within few days, but in all material
points it remains the same as at the
former publication.
The contract for the sprink1ing of
Prairie avenue was let to George
O'Brien, his bid being twelve cents a
foot for the season.
Action on the street railway or
dinance was deferred until the next
meeting.
After the usual routine business the
Council adjourned until next Monday
evening.

NO MORE CIGARETTES

Boys Under Age of Sixteen Years Using
Paper Pipes Are Liable to Arrest
Boys under sixteen years of age
who are accustomed to use cigarettes
must give up the habit as the State
Legislature yesterday passed new
cigarette law by which it is made
a Unable offense for a boy under six
teen years of age to smoke cigarettes
on the street. It is stated that boy
of this tender age may use the paper
pipes if he is attended by his parents
or guardian and has their consent to
smoke. The penalty provided is
heavy fine. The law goes into effect
at once and the police officials of the
various cities will be notified that it
must be enforced. The enforcement
Of the law viii undoubtedly result in
many boys in Kenosha being arrested.

Mutual Telephone CO. To Build
Many Lines ia the Western
Part Of the County
LOCATE EXCHANcEAT WlLMOT
The New Era Telephone Company to
Extend Lines to Silver Lake,
Camp Lake, Bassetts Sta
ton and Other Points

Closer relations are to be established
between the various villages in the
western part of the county by the
New Era Telephone company, which
is now signing contracts for the build
ing of large number of lines in the
towns of Salem, Bristol, Randall and
Wheatland and the contracts will pro-
vide that the lines be ready for use by
the first of next August.
The New Era company was organ
lied by Hunt brothers, of Hebron, and
for the past year the managers have
been negotiating with the people in
the western part of this county for
the purpose of getting network Of
lines in that territory. The efforts
are now crowned with success. The
New Era company has purchased
twenty-five subscribers from the To-
cal exchange of Genoa Junction and
with these telephones as a starter an
exchange to be a central exchange will
be opened in the village of Wi1mot
and ia the future this village will be
one of the main offices of the COM
pany.
The lines will branch east and north
from Wilmot and exchanges will be
established at Silver Lake, Camp
Lake, Trevor and Bassetts Station.
The company further plans to build
line into Wheatland TO connect with
the Wheatland and Union Grove line
While mutual company the New
Era company is doing big things.
The company was organized in 1905
with a capital stock of $4,000 and
seventeen subscribers, but at the
present time the investment of the
company is said to be worth more
chan 100000 and it already has more
than 600 subscribers ia northern Illi-
nois and southern Wisconsin. The
company is not seeking an alliance
with the Bell interests but has built
its own toll line to connect with Chi
cago and a connection with the indie
pendent phone system in Chicago has
already been made.
The company is now planning to
build a line to Milwaukee and Racine
and it is very probable that before the
year ends an independent line will be
built into Kenosha. The new TERRI
tory secured in this county is va1u-
able addition. 1t is a territory Of
summer resorts and many of the
places to be reached are now not
touched by the Wisconsin Telephone
company saved by circuitous routes.
The company is said to furnish ex-
cellent service. 1t is said that the
company at one time sought to secure
control of the plant Of the Citizens
Telephone Company in this city, but
the price for the plant was so large
that the company decided that 1t
would be cheaper to build line than
conclude the deal.

SUBSTITUTE READY
Sheridan Drive Bill Killed by
Committee but Automobile
Club Has New Bill
BUlLDR0AD BY SUBSCRIPTION

The Senate committee on roads
put the finishing touches on the
Sheridan Drive bill yesterday when it
was finally agreed not to report the
measure back to the Senate in its
present form and it is generally ac-
copied that the bill was killed through
the efforts of Senator Bishop and the
farmers of Kenosha county. The bill
died hard and before the committee
decided not to report it back to the
Senate in the present form the Mil
waukee Automobile Club, which had
urged its passage, had a new measure
IN making and as the time for the
presentation of new bills is long since
passed the proposed measure will be
reported by the committee as substi-
tute measure. The bill is entirely
different from the original measure
and its force and effect is simply to
make it possible for the state of Wis
consin to give the consent for the
building of the road. The bill pro-
vides that it be built wholly by pri-
vate subscription and that not cent
be charged against any county or
property owner in the state in the
way Of taxes for either the construc-
ton or maintenance of the road.
The State will, however, be asked
to give the builders of the road the
power to make rules regulating the
use of it to certain classes of vehi-
Giles. 1t is thought that the substi-
tute will meet with almost as much
opposition in this county as greeted
the original bill, as it is claimed that
the restriction of the use of the road
would cut off many farmers from
their homes and that chat the road
would become pleasure drive from
every standpoint. Senator Bishop
will make war Oh the substitute with
the same force that he fought tie
former bill. 1t is expected that the
substitute will be presented to the
Senate on Wednesday or Thursday of
this week. 1t will also be sent to the
Assembly at the earliest possible mo-
ment and an effort will be made to
force the passage of the bill.

DEATH OF MRS. EIcHELMAN
Wife Of Henry Eichelman, well-Known
Hotel Man, Died Tuesday Morning

Mrs. Margaret Louise Eichelman,
wife of Henry Eichelman, one of the
proprietors OF Hotel Eichelman, and
one of the best known women Of the
city, died at the Pennoyer Sanitari-
um 1T six O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing after long illness from COM
plication of diseases. Mrs. Eichelman
had been very low for several days,
but the announcement of her death
will come as a sad shock to her many
friends in Kenosha. Mrs. Eichelmau
had been ill for the past four months
and two weeks ago last Friday she
was taken to the Sanitarium for an
operation. The operation was sue
cessful but complications set in and
Mrs. Eichelman sank rapidly.
The deceased was daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Hansis, pioneer
settlers of the town of Pleasant
Prairie, and she was born at the
Hansis home on the sand ridge May
10, 1860. She was married to Mr..
Eichelman in 1886. She is survived
by three children Ben, Margaret and
Irene Eichelman and by two brothers
Conrad and Charles Hansis.
Mrs. Eichelman was woman of
many noble characteristics and she
was greatly beloved by her friends.
A woman of cheerful disposition and
kind heart, she was great favorite.
"A loving wife and mother, her death
has brought sorrow 100 great for
words to the members of her i'm
mediate family.
The funeral viii be held from the
Hotel Eichelman this afternoon at 8
O'Clock.

Members of the Jury Convicting
Him Ready to Ask for Leni-
eaCy From the Judge
DID NOT FEAR PRISON TERM
Jury in Convicting Had the Under.
standing That the Penalty Would
Be Fine and the Costs
of the Action

A most remarkable state of affairs
has been brought to light IN connec-
ton with the sentence of Ted Collier,
who was recently convicted IN the
Circuit Court on a charge of man
slaughter as it became known today
that members of the jury which tried
Collier have held meeting that they
may save Collier from prison term
and it is stated on absolute authority
that these members of the jury are
ready and willing to go before the
district attorney and Judge Belden
and plead for leniency for the con-
victed man. One of the jurors in an
interview said. SIN all Of our con-
sideration of the guilt of Ted Col
1ier not once did we consider it pos
sible that Collier should be sent to
prison and the understanding among
the jurors was that should we vote to
find Collier guilty it was with the un-
Outstanding that he should pay fine.
At the meeting of the jurors on SAT-
urday two of the men who had voted
from the first for the conviction of
Collier were present and these men
suggested the plan Of going before
the district attorney and the court
and in some manner showing to them
the opinion Of the jurors in regard to
the penalty for Collier. The court
handed Us two forms of verdict and
neither of them offered us any chance
to make any recommendation as TO
the penalty that should be imposed
on Ted. We all felt that for the best
interests Of the community Collier
should be fined. but not one contem-
plated the possibility of prison sem
tence. am certain that the senti-
ment of the three jurors will be same
toned by every man who sat on that
jury during the more than two days
deliberations.
The statement of this juror, who is
one of the best known farmers in
Kenosha county, is one of the most
unusual ever made, and it is thought
that this is the first time ia the his
tory of the Circuit Court for Kenosha
county that members of a jury have
held conference for the purpose of
appealing to the court for 1eniency
for the man that they convicted of
crime 1t is not known whether any
suggestion from the jury would be
accepted by Judge Belden or the
District Attorney, but it is certain
that the bare fact of the action of
these jurors when brought to the
notice of the court will have consid-
cradle weight in determining his de-
cision as to the penalty to be paid
by Collier.
1t is not thought that District Attor-
ney Baker will take any further ac-
ton to demand prison sentence for
Collier, and it is admitted that in his
speech to the court on Thursday he
had no enmity in his heart toward the
accused man or his friends, but
that it was simply his zeal as public
prosecutor that caused him to make
the recommendation that he did. The
matter OF the sentence of Collier will
be taken up by Judge Belden prob
ably week from today.
