WILL ENTER RACINE
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
Road to Seek Entrance to
Heart Of the Belle City
WILL Ask FRANCHI SOON

The city of Racine will in a few
months have another street railway
line running into the heart of the
city. One of the Representatives of
the Chicago and Milwaukee Railway
company was in town for a short time
Wednesday morning and in an inter-
view admitted that the new road
which now runs past Racine just west
of Mound cemetery was determined to
enter the city in order to accommodate
the patrons of the road and to make
direct communication with the main
line.
The new company is making strenu-
Gus efforts to secure right of way
for its freight traffic and ultimately
to purchase or secure by condemna-
ton proceedings sufficient land down
town to be used as a terminal and
freight and passenger yards.
It has been rumored for some time
that the new road would construct a
spur at the interestion Of their tracks
with the St. Paul line just west of Ra-
cine Junction and either build a new
track parallel to the ira cks of the St.
Paul or else run their cars over the
tracks of the St. Paul company.
This company is determined to enter
Racine and it is now only matter OF
a short time before some definite
steps will be taken to carry out the
| plans.
1t is also stated that the new line
will make application to the Racine
city council in a short time for a
franchise to enter that city from the
Rapids over the old Rapids road and
possibly for franchise over some OF
the other streets in order to enter the
city from that point. Application
will also be made to the town of Mt.
Pleasant for the right of way to the
city limits.
Several of the Racine aldermen
have been interviewed and all seen
stated that they would be very willing
to grant any reasonable concessions
to the Chicago and Milwaukee line
and now it seems that there will be
but little question but that the much
desired mode of conveyance to the
Rapids will soon be an accomplished
fact. Of course it is expected that
John |. Beggs will use every effort to
keep the new company from entering
Racine at any point, though he may
finally have to obey orders from the
city to allow the newroad to pass over
certain tracks of his line IN that city.
There have been objections made by
all the property owners on Northwest
ern avenue and the Rapids road for
years for allowing Beggs right of
way over that road to the Rapids, aud
the new plan will in every way escape
these objections.

Obituary.

Jacob 7. Morris passed away Aug. 1,
1907, at the home Of bis son-in-law,
Mr.. Goodrich, OF southwest Mexico.
Deceased was 10 years Of age, he being
Of the high type an old Virginian
but for many years past had been an
old and respected citizen Of Audrain
county, though a few years previous
TO his demise, be and bis wife settled
near Benton City. To this happy
couple were born and raised a large
family OF children, many OF whom
proved Of sterling worth and well
situated in life.
Mr.. Morris had been q constant suf-
ferer for some time, but being pos
sessed Of that genuine vitality and
energetic disposition, which even
showed in old age and last illness;
a kind and good neighbor and smbi-
tious, betrayed many aets Of charity
unknown to the public eye, when as
sistance was needed.a good companion
and father, OF thoughtfulness ION
corning his family circle and when in
health, was at all times a resolute
worker.
But when the summons came no
compliant VI crossed bis lips, "his'
was as q heroic and superba fight as
ever master or soldier fought. How
ever he died happy IN the Methodist
faith, and fell asleep as a babe in It's
mothers arms. May the family band
left behind, live so on earth that in
heaven, they will be one united fam
lily where ''God" shall wipe the tears
from every eye, for God has said ~
take these little lambs and lay them
my breast, protection they shall
find in me, in me be ever blessed,".
We miss thee from our earthly home
dear father,
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow Ger our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine Of thy dear, old
face,
We miss Thy kind and willing
hands,
Thy fond and earnest care
Our lonely home Is sad without
Thee,
We miss dear father, everywhere.

Mexico Kindergarten.

Dear Mr.. Editor.
Mexico, Mo-, Aug. 20, 1e07.-Since a
Kindergarten Is about to be started
hope you will permit me as a. mother
and teacher to say a word through
your columns about patronizing the
enterprise as an investment for pa
ents.
The cost Of keeping a child in the
kindergarten will be about $3.50, OF
less than four cents an hour. Does 1t
pay?
First let us consider the parents
side. II the children are OF suitable
age are In the Kindergarten, the
mother has never more than two,
rarely more than one, and often none
at home for three hours In the morn
ing. She is then free to attend TO her
household affairs with less interrup-
tion and her time is worth more.
Then the saving of veal and tear on
clothes, furniture, and nerves must be
counted.
Still more important is the gain to
the child; for the good Kindergarten
is helping the mother along in the
physical, intellectual, and moral train
ing Of the child with more skill than
We mothers possess, a. few OF Us have
made aci0se stHdTot1he child's ma
ture and needs. Besides the little
ones are having q happy time together
protected by the watch cart of the
teacher.
When people realize that the en-
vironment Of a child in its early years
has much to do with its ability later
they will feel that a years coed train
ing is worth at least as much as fine
clothes and will pay $50 for that as
quickly IS for a gown or hat. Money
spent for education pays the best divi-
dends. Success TO Mrs. Shaw in her
undertaking. Yours,
HeIan T. Million
