FREIGHT ON INTrRURBAN
John I. Beggs Believes Such Privileges
Will Soon Be Granted

John [. Beggs believes that withln 4
few years the state legislature viii DIS
mand that the electric lines of the state
carry freight and baggage where today
they are prohibited from doing so uHde1
the franchises under which they ara 0p-
Grating. He believes the laws OF Eedaw
in that regard are very narrow, BIS thu
are not permitted to e~ea car
ry trunk or other parcel for taen pas
sengers.
Mr.. Beggs believed that in the fg4nre
the electric lines will take charge Of the
transportation Of all the milk supply OF
both Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee and
other cities which are connected with
electric cars. The garbage question, fie
believes, will also be solved, as ashes
and garbage can be hauled from sisted
points in the cities and hauled Gus int
the country where it will be taken care
of. Kenosha like other cities, would be
benefited as the farmers would be able
to bring in their produce at a greatly
reducted cost.

PLAN NEW CHURCH
German Lutherans To Make Fjns
Decision in Regard to New
Church Next Sunday
PLAN COMBINATION BUILDING

The plans for the erection of neW
church building for the use Of the Ger-
man Lutheran congregation Of the city
have been taken up again and this time
it is thought that plans for the church
will be secured with a view of starting
the work at once and If possible COM
pleting the building before the opening
Of another winter. At the meeting Of
the church society on last Sunday, q
committee was directed to go to Mi
Waukee this week and make an examine
tion of combination church and school
in that city which is said to come very
near to the idea of the committee In
charge of the building Of the new
church in Kenosha. The local arehE:
tects are now busy making preliminary
sketches of the proposed church and
school and they will be ready for the
consideration Of the members Of The
church within a short time.
The disposition of the present church
and the other property of the congrega-
ton seems to be the only drawback TO
the erection of the new church. The
congregation has been offered $4,000
for the property by the Central Leather
Company and it is thought that this liz
the highest price the company will pay
for the property. The church members
believe that the property should bring
$4,000, but it is probable that if plans
for the new church can be secured thaf
the offer will be accepted.
More than a year ago the congrega-
ton bought large lot at the corner of
Middle and Ridge streets to be used as
a site for church and school and MANY
of the members of the church have al
ready built homes in the neighborhood
of the site for the new church.
It is thought certain that the new
church will be built before the close Of
another year and the members OF the
committee will bend every energy te
have the work completed this year.

GOOD STOCK AT DEXTER FARM

Mr.. Fred Miles, whose farm is a mile
west OF this city, took trip last week
over the state to visit some of the most
prominent Guerensy herds with the in
tention of buying. He visited several
farms about Madison and Fort Akin
son and finally selected ten head at the
Dexter Farm, Kenosha, Wis, nine heif-
ers and a bull paying long price for
them. They are fine specimens Of the
breed, being uniform in color, size and
look to possess all the good qualities
of the dairy COW. As they have been
bred from the very best milking
strains of guerensy S in this country
Tor great many years, we thing he
has the foundation for a grand herd of
dairy cows. They have all been tested
and found free from tuberculosis and
are as handsome cattle as we have
ever seen. Lancaster Teller.

Low RATES ARE ANNOUNCED
Railroads Decide to Give Special Rates
To Conventions
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The Western Passenger association,
in special meeting yesterday to con-
slider reduced rates to the national Re
publican convention at Chicago in June,
adopted similar action to that taken
when the question Of rates to the Den
yer Democratic convention was passed
upon.
The association voted in the mega
tive upon the proposition to announce
rates upon the basis of ~ cent basis,
as was done upon the announcement
of the association S decision in the
Denver convention matter. The selling
dates for reduced rate tickets to the
Chicago convention will be June II to
l6, with June IL the final going date.
and with June 80 the return limit.
Stop over privileges will be announced
by the individual roads later.
From some western points the rate
will be slightly lower than IL cents
per mile. The round trip rate from
Denver, with the rates from interme-
date points proportionate will be $50
fat, although the distance somewhat
exceeds 1000 miles each way.

ceived, but it was decided to lay the
matter of electing an Inspector over
until the meeting of the council to be
held on next Friday evening The old
fight over the Pearl street sewer which
it is alleged was closed up by the Sim
mons Manufacturing Company, was
brought up and the city attorney was
notified to order the company to open
up the sewer at once and also that if
the work was not done at once to be-
gin an action against the company.
The City Attorney was also ordered to
make some prosecution Of D. Gaastra
who was charged with having laid a
sidewalk on Crate street without hay
ing secured a license from the city and
without having paid any fee for a per-
nit to lay the walk. It is understood
to test the ordinance. The fight prom
Uses to- be an interesting one as the
licensed sidewalk builders have de-
manded that the law either be enforced
to the letter or be declared null and Of
no effect. A remonstrance was present
ed by some of the property owners on
West Main street between Middle street
and Grand avenue, protesting against
the paving of that portion of the street
on account of the fact that the cost
was to be more than they had estimated
and the matter was referred to the
Street Assessment committee. AS half
of the cost of this work is to be paid
by the railway company it is very prob
able that the remonstrance will not be
allowed to interfere with the work as
it is said that some of the property
owners are very. anxious to have the
work rushed to completion just as soon
as the weather will permit.
Alderman Pirsch made strenuous OBJ
jections to the way the curb had been
laid on East Wisconsin street and de-
that the council take some steps
to see that the contractor took this
work up and laid it in keeping with the
contracts. There is no doubt but that the
matter will be looked into by the prop
er inspectors put on the work when it
is resumed. Alderman Pirsch had some
very pertinent remarks to make in re-
gard to the troubles with Contractor
Jones and insisted that the city had
lost thousands of dollars by contracts
not being lived up to and declared that
such thing was unfair to other bidders
who had sought the work.
The city council decided to take i'm
mediate steps to protect the water front
at the foot of Ohio and Indiana streets
and the clerk will advertise for bids
for this work at once with the under
standing that it is to be done during
the present year. The washing Of the
lake is carrying away the streets and
it is absolutely necessary that the work
of building the protecting b1eakwater
be done at once. 1t was noticed that
there was a decided falling off in the
bills of the street commissioners, but
this had been expected with the close
of the campaign.
After the usual routine the council
adjourned until Friday evening when
the vote cast at the city election today
will be canvassed.

COUNCIL WINDS UP BUSINESS
Ordinances Pending Are Passed Or Laid
Over to the New Council and
Little Remains to be Done
BY This Council

Mayor German failed to come 20 the
scratch last night in naming two new
members of the police and fire commits
sion and the members of the council
waited for two hours for the word from
the mayor, but there was nothing do
ing and the police and fire board was
never mentioned during the evening.
At the close of the meeting the mayor
was asked in regard to the matter and
he stated that he had already made the
appointments by sending them to the
Secretary of the Commission and that
he did not deem it necessary to send
the names to the council for confirma-
ton. He declined to give the names of
the men he had named and the mystery
was not cleared up by Secretary Priddis
who happened to be at the meeting of
the council. The secretary stated that
he had not received any appointments
from the mayor to the best of his know
ledge and belief. Mayor German had
made the positive statement that the
names would go to council in the even
ing and there is some conjecture as to
the cause of his change in plans. Some
suggested that the mayor wanted to
hold the appointments open until after
the election tomorrow and that the
council would get the names on Friday
evening, but this might cause some
trouble and the newly elected mayor
might be rude enough to contest the
right of the mayor TO make such APP
pointments after he had been replaced
by another chosen by the people. At
any rate the commissioners if named
do not seem to be matter of record
and it is hard to solve the mystery of
Mayor German.
The meeting Of the council last night
was sort of a clearing up meeting and
many matters that had been before the
body for some time were disposed Of.
The council passed the ordinance for
the fning of absent aldermen but tack
ed on to it an amendment which remit
ted the fine in the case Of one Of the
aldermen being too i'll to attend the
session of the council. The aldermen
| however will have TO show the council
and present certificate from a psysi-
clan before the fine may be RENTED.
| The ordinance for the vacation of a
portion of Pearl street to the Balm
Wagon Company was given it's second
reading, but action on it was deferred
until after the new members of the
council shall go into office.
| An ordinance of great. Importance to
the people of the city was given it's first
reading and this was an ordinance to
provide for an annual audit by disin-
terested persons Of the books Of the
various city officials and of the various
departments under the city government
The expense is to be paid by the Board OF
Education, Water Commission, Library
Board and from the general funds OF
the city. The ordinance provides that
this audit shall be made during May
of each year.

the paving on Grover street and the
property owners from the street pre-
sent at the meeting declared that they
were satisfied with the way that the
work was being DONE Several appli

CALL REV. c. BUENGER
Pastor of German Lutheran Church
Gets Call From Leading Con-
gregation in Racine
MEMBERS TO DECIDE MATTER
Rev. Mr.. Buenger Withholds Any Ans
wer to the Call Until After Sub
hitting the Question to the Mem
bers of His Congregation

The Rev. Carl Buenger, for the past
five and a half years pastor of the Ger
man Lutheran Church in Kenosha and
one of the most popular ministers in the
city, yesterday received a call to be-
come the pastor of the First Evangeli-
cal Lutheran Church in Racine The
call came as a complete surprise to Mr..
Buenger and to the members of the
church in KenoSha. No action has been
taken on the matter and Rev. Buenger
will lay the call before his congregation
on next Sunday and ask that they take
some action on the matter.
The Rev. Conrad Jaegers, the former
pastor of the Racine church, died less
than month ago. He and Mr.. Buen-
ger had been close friends and as soon
as the funeral service Of the deceased
minister had been held it was found
that there was a decided feeling in the
Racine church favorable to a call to
Mr.. Buenger. The matter was formally
taken up by the Racine congregation
on Sunday evening and the call to the
Kenosha minister was unanimous one.
The Racine church is regarded as one
of the best German Lutheran congrega-
tions in Wisconsin and Mr.. Buenger feels
deeply the honor of being called to be-
come it's pastor. The change would of
fer him larger field for his work, but
his relations with the congregation in
Kenosha have been Of such friendly
nature that he is slow to accept the call
without he is fully released from his
duties by vote of the Kenosha congre-
cation. The members of the Racine
church are united in the call and it is
expected that a large number of them
will come to Kenosha on next Sunday
to attend the meeting of the Kenosha
church and urge the release of Pastor
Buenger.
aMr. Buenger came to Kenosha to take
the place of the Rev. E. F. Dornfeld
who was called to one Of the leading
Ichurches in Milwaukee and since coming
to the city Mr.. Buenger has done much
to uphold the local society Under his
direction the schools Of the parish have
been extended and the new school in
the west part of the city opened. He
has also brought many new members in
to the church. He has proven himself
an able manager of the finances of the
church and it is stated that the church
was never in better condition financial
ly than it is at the present time. Under
his. labors the plans for the new church
building on the west side of the city
have been started and many Of the
members have urged that he remain in
Kenosha until after the new church has
been built and dedicated Mr. Buenger
has been popular with his people and
with the people Of the city as WELL He
has been an active worker in every plan
for the advancement of the city and
has taken an interest in all sorts of
civic improvement.
While the Racine church will offer a
splendid field for the labors Of the pas
tor his many friends in Kenosha will be
pleased should he see his way clear to
decline the call and remain as pastor of
the local church.
