The Last Straw
rom the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register.
A certain judge in Kentucky
by reason of his bad temper,
found considerable difficulty in
controlling individuals in the
court room. On one occasion
there was an unusual disorder.
At last the judge could stand it
no longer.
1T is impossible to allow the
present contempt of court, "
exclaimed his honor, land l
shall be forced to go to the ex-
IRENE length of taking the step
that will stop it."
There followed a long sileuce
in the court. Finally one Of
the leading counsel arose aud,
without the suspicion of a smile
asked

ton take effectS"

The Wise Mr.. Wise.

John S. Wise, one of the most
eminent southern Republicans,
but now residing in New York,
made an address lately before
the Maryland Bar association
on Capitalization by Construc-
ton" He said President Roose-
velt's attempt to broaden feder-
al power by Interpretation is TO
make an "India-rubber consti-
tuition and declared that the
doctrine of federal power, in
creased by construction under
the plea of changed conditions.
is the most insidious and dan
gerous heresy brought before
the people of America. But
then John S. Wise belongs to
the old Lincoln school of poll
tics that is entirely outrun by
the strenuous type of RepublI-
cans of today. The speeches of
President Roosevelt, said Mr..
Wise, indicate a singular ign0-
rance of the boundary line be-
tween federal and state powers
and he predicted that the peo-
pie would not uphold a party
which advocated federal or
state aggression.
Republicans who think as
Mr.. Wise does must needs come

AT first thought it may seem little
hard to prevent the hauling of stone
10 be used in street Improvements
over the tracks of the street railway
company but the Crate street people
may be right in their contention
that to permit any kind of freight to
be hauled over the line without pro-
test would esta blish a dangerous
precedent. The experiences of Ke-
nosha people with street railways have
not been such as to convince them
that it is wise to give the railway com
pany any extra leeway. It has been
hard enough at times in the past to
make the company live up to the
terms of its franchise without grant
ing any special privilege that the
company may claim as right at some
future time.

FISH WITH AUTO
Kenosha Party at Twin Lakes Makes
Record Catch on Thursday
goes into effect.

A new use has been found for the
automobile If the latest fish story re-
ceived from Twin Lakes to is be be-
lieved. M. ]. Scholey, Harry Jones
and party of fishermen who have
been at the lake for the past two days
made record catch Thursday after
noon and so great was the size of one
fish that it was necessary to hitch
runabout to the line in order to get it
out of the water. Jones was holding
the trolling line when the fish ran
with it. He was convinced that the
fish was at least twenty-pound
pickere1 and as he was near the beach
he pulled to the shore and called his
companions.
The fish fought desperately, and
finally the trolling line was hitched to
the auto and the fish pulled out. 1t
proved to be German carp weighing
some twenty eight pounds. The mem
bers of the party are in doubt as to
what to do with the catch, but it will
probably be sent to some salmon can
ming factory.

PLANS ARE COMPLETE
Old Settlers to Have Gathering
at Paddock's Lake on Last
Thursday in August

The Directors of the Old Settlers
Club of Kenosha county held an adj
journed meeting at Paddock's Lake
on Wednesday afternoon and COM
pleted arrangements for the annual
reunion of the old settlers of the
county, which is to be held at the
lake on August 10Th. 1t is planned to
make the reunion one of the greatest
ever held in the county and the direc-
tors are laying plans to take care of
no less than 5000 people. At the
meeting it was reported that Con-
gresham H. A. Cooper had accepted
the invitation to attend and make the
annual address and the usual other
features will be provided. There will
be basket dinner at noon with a re-
union of the pioneer families Of the
county, ball game in the afternoon,
and the usual dancing party will be
held in the pavilion in the evening.
One of the big features of the re-
union will be display of pictures of
the early pioneers of the county, and
the committee IN charge of this feat
ure will make an effort to secure hum
dreds of pictures from galleries and
private homes in order to make the
display the most notable ever seen in
the county. For years an effort has
been made to get these pictures of
pioneers together and it is expected
that this work will be done this year.
Another feature will be the reading
of the memorial roll of deceased
pioneers. Since the last reunion
r. F. Roberts, the Secretary of the
association, has died. MP. Roberts
always had charge of the work of
making up the memorial roll and Sec
rotary Bishop will undertake this
work this year. During the reunion
there will be a memorial tolthe mem
DRY of Mr.. Roberts read.
The directors named c.. A. Dewey
as a committee of one TO make an eff
fort to break THERON clad rules of the
Northwestern Railway and secure an
excursion train and reduced rates for
the reunion and he will take the mat
ter up with the officials of the railway
company atlonce. The detailed pro-
gram for the reunion will be issued
J within a few days.

A NEW ADDITION

Samuel Goldberg, of the Boston
store, has added a new addition to his
already largesstore. A new opening
has just been, completed from the store
to the place formerly occupied by
Remer & Bleicher. The growth of
this store is certainly wonderful.
Just eight years ago itstarted in the
present location in room 2Ox30, now
it occupies a ahoor space of $1,000
square feet. Mr.. Goldberg claims his
wonderful success is due, he believes,
in the old saying ::"quick sales and
small profits and it looks as though
he sticks to this old proverb, and an
other good cause he lays to his sue.
cess he originated few years ago
a clearing sale twice year and found
it great success, as it cleans out all
the past seasons stock and he is
ready with the cash for a new fresh
stock for the new season, although he
has to sacrifice good many things,
but is after the cash. The store car
ries first class stock of dry goods, a
large stock of up-to-date clothing,
SHOES, gents furnishings, household
goods, etc. as carried in an up-to-date
department store. Although the store
is a little out of the way, there
are only few large stores that ex-
coed the volume of business done in
this store. DIV

RAILWAYS SAY NO

Officials of Northwestern and St. Paul
Declare That Tickets Will Remain
Kenosha passengers who use the
Northwestern railway will continue
to travel on Communication tickets as
the officials of the Chicago and Mil
waukee and St. Paul road and the
managers of the Northwestern road
have issued statement % the effect
that the Communication rates now IN
use will not be tempered with but that
they will remain in force as here to
fore. No further commutation rates
will be granted but no effort will be
made to do away with the rates now
prevailing. 1t is said that the North
western Company considers the COM
mutation business between Chicago
and Kenosha as most paying busi-
ness even at the low rate of one and
ne-fourth cents mile and that for
this reason the company will make no
effort to do away with the tickets.
The decision of the company will
lift a heavy load off the minds of the
Kenosha travelling public. The Ra-
cine Milwaukee tickets will also re-
main in force so that the Kenosha
people will still have the privilege Of
travelling north or south on low rate
tickets, The managers of both Of
these companies have consented to
accept the dictates of the legislature
and the traffic manager is now at
work on new tariff sheets figuring all
fares at the rate of two cents per
mile. This traffic arrangement will
go into effect on August IS. The rail-
way managers state in this connec-
tion that after that date all charity"
rates as we'll as all excursion rates
will be eliminated. II is not certain
what is known as charity rates, but
it is possible that this may include
the clergymen's half fare permits and
tickets issued to societies doing re-
ligious work for the use of the leaders
of these societies. Excursions are
now being advertised in Kenosha but
it is given as a positive fact that there
will be no more excursions after the
rate recently fixed by the legislature
goes into effect.

Freight Cars Of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Road Hauled Over
Local Lines in Kenosha
PROPERTY OWNERS KICKING
City Council Will BE Asked to See to
1t that No Freight Cars Are
Run On Lines Within the
Limits of the City

A storm is brewing.in railway circles
in Kenosha on account of the alleged
violation of the franchise rights of
the Kenosha Electric Railway Com
pany and complaints are being filed
with the city officials on account of
the fact that the local line is being
used as a freight line. Yesterday
Crate street people for the first time
saw freight cars running on the line
and they were notgoperated in.keeping
with the franchise of the company.
The cars were loadedawith stone from
the quarries of the Chicago and Mil.
waukee Railway Company.snorth of
to John O. Jones. It was to be used
in the paving Of Crate street and the
cars which came to Kenosha over the
C. and M. we're switched at the station
at the west side of the city and sent
over the local line to Crate street
where they we're dumped, The oper-
alton of the freight cars did not inter-
fere with the local service on the line
but the people on the street seemed to
be opposed to any violation of the
local ranchise~ordinance by the haul.
ing of these cars over theMline. 1t is
feared that if the officials wink at this
violation of the law the com pany will
take advantage of the fact and use
the line for the hauling of all sorts of
freight.
The strict terms of the franchise
give the company the right to handle
freight cars on the local line only for
the purpose of carrying materials for
the extensions of thes line and the
stone which vas delivered by the COM
pany could not be construed under
this franchise as material for the line.
The city officials tookl no steps to-
day to prevent the hauling Of the
stone and it is probable that this
work will be continued until the next
meeting of the Council when the
matter will be laid befores the alder
men. It is, of course, a great con-
venience for the paving contractors
to have the stone delivered in this
manner.
The railway company is continuing
the work on Elizabeth street, but as
yet no steps have been taken to open
trench for the second track on the
street and it is possible that this
work will not be started until the first
of next week. In the meantime the
company is restoring the south side
of the road way to its normal condi-
tons. 1t is expected that the real
fight will come when the trench for
the second track is opened but the
attorneys for the property owners
have taken no further steps to secure
an injunctio against the workmen
and it is possible that there will be
no clash. The suit filed by the pro-
perty owners cannot be tried before
the September term of the Circuit
Court and long before that time the
work of the company on Elizabeth
street will be completed and it is pos
sible that cars will be in operation on
the street. The company plans to
finish the Ashland avenue tracks 10
South street at once so that a new
loop will be ready for service within
comparatively short time.

THIS racing of automobiles through
the streets of the city has got to be
stopped and stopped right now before
some one is killed as result of the
criminal recklessness of some of the
automobile drivers. There are no
two ways about it. If the limit fines
do not have the desired effect it may
be necessary to arrange for few jail
sentences for the persistent violators
of the speed laws.

DIDN'T WANT LECTURE

Being Lectured by the Court
"Soak him the limit but cut out the
lecture. This was the advice which
Attorney Calvin Stewart gave Justice
Donahue on Thursday afternoon when
the Justice started in to lecture Joe
Tessman, painter, who had been
convicted of cruelty to animals and
who was being sentenced by the
Court. The Court has right to fine
this man anything he wants to under
the law" said Stewart, "but 1 am
not going to stand for this curtain

Tessman had been arrested on a
charge of shooting horse at Ander-
sons Park on July 4th and was con-
victed before Justice Donahue. The
Court after the strong talk of the at
torney for the defendant fined him
$40 and costs and the attorney for
the defendant at once gave notice of
an appeal to the Circuit Court.
