pany and the Cooper Underwear Com
pany were given permission to build
steam pipe over Newell street con-
Meeting the two plants.
The city engineer was ordered to
provide plans for a sewer district on
Washington Island and it is probable
that this sewer district will be laid
out in time to make it possible for the
council to order sewers long sought
early in the new year.
The street railway company sent
check for $3.50 to the council to cover
the cost of extra paving done on Mar
ket square and the check was turned
over to Chris Petersen as part of
the contract price for the paving OF
the square. The streets and alleys
committee was instructed to make such
changes in the streets as were neees-
sary to make possible the putting in
of the new entrances to the Kenosha
City cemetery and this work will be
done at once. The work will include
a change in the pavement on Park
avenue and the putting in of a tile
drain on Ashland avenue and filing ND
the street so as to make a splendid
entrance to the cemetery.
The. question of new lights in vari-
Gus parts of the city was brought up
by the committee and it was announced
that three new lights will be put in
next spring, but that it was not ad-
visable to put in any more lights this
fall on account of the fact that the
financial condition of the city would
not permit it.
The final bill of the Kenosha Gas
and Electric Company was ordered
paid.
After the usual amount of routine
business the council adjourned.

Manager of Kenosha Foot Ball Team
Promises Great Sport for the Season
Manager John Ward, Jr., is busy at
work making up the schedule for the
Kenosha foot ball team and already
four games have been scheduled, all
of which will be played in Kenosha.
The manager has not as yet scheduled
a game for Thanksgiving Day, but an
effort is being made to land the strong
Lake Geneva team for that date. Dur
ing the coming week the team will have
regular practice and it is certain after
the showing at Waukegan that the boys
will round into shape within a few
weeks. The schedule for the year so
far as it mas been arranged is as fol
lows:
Oct. 10-Milwaukee Badgers at Ke-
nosha.
Oct. IL Northwestern Sporting
Goods of Chicago at Kenosha.
Oct. 24-Pullman, H., at Kenosha.

STARTS FOR FRISCO
Conley, Kenosha Figh-
ter, Leaves for Coast for
a Long Campaign
SEEKsWORLD' S CHAMPIONSHIP

Frank Conley, the Kenosha Italian
fighter left this morning for Frisco"
in quest of a world IS championship
He was accompanied by his manager,
M. L. Forkins of Elgin, and Conley
declared that he was not coming back
to Kenosha until he had earned repu-
tation as a fighter. He was in the
pink of condition and will keep in
training during the long trip and will
be ready to go into the ring when he
arrives at Frisco. The manager for
Conley has been working the wires
with the Frisco managers and he has
been assured some battles for Conley
just as soon as the Kenosha boy
reaches the coast. Monte Attell is at
Frisco claiming the world S bantam
weight championship and it is probable
that Conley will get crack at Attell
and this championship the first week
he is on the coast. Forkins has chal-
lenged Attell for the championship in
the name of Conley and the manager
of Attell is willing to accept just as
soon as a club is found to stage the
bout between the two boys. Conley
is also looking for a fight with Ad
Wolgast, of Milwaukee. Wolgast is
on the coast and he is not getting as
many fights as he expected and it is
thought that the manager of Conley
will be able to force meeting be-
tween his man and the. Milwaukee
fighter. Conley has been promised
plenty of backing from Kenosha men
and in addition to this he has good
sum of money of his own which he is
willing to put into the game if a
chance presents itself.

CRASHED THROUGH THE GATES
Car on Street Railway Caught in Trap
at Elizabeth Street Crossing

Fifteen passengers on board car
of the Kenosha Electric Railway Com
pany had a narrow escape from injury
just after seven o'clock Saturday even
ing when the car was caught on the
tracks of the Chicago and Northwest
ern Railway Company at the Elizabeth
street crossing. The conductor had
made an examination and had slgnalled
the motorman to come ahead with the
car and after it had reached the mid
die of the tracks the gateman pulled
down the gates on the east SIDE of the
tracks. Just at this time a train
whistled and the motorman taking no
chances put on all the power possible
and crashed through the gates. The
gates broke like pipe stems and the
car ploughed through the debris
breaking out the windows in the front
of the car and throwing the passengers
from their seats, The ear had cleared
the track some distance before the pas
senger train from the north dashed
through. Passengers on the car
claim that the car would have had
plenty Of time to clear the crossing,
but that the action of the gateman
in putting down the gates left no
alternative but for the motorman to
take the risk of breaking the gates,

SECOND BEST IN WISCONSIN
Local Association is Shown to be Ac-
tive in Many Lines of Work and is
Close to Milwaukee for First Place
in the State.

The Kenosha branch Of the Young
Men S Christian Association is placed
in an enyiable position by the annual
report Of the association in the state
and nation which has just been made
public and the Kenosha association is
awarded second place among the asso-
Citations in Wisconsin being only
second to Milwaukee in the great work
that is being done among the young
men.
The annual report shows that Mil
Waukee is first in the state with a
total membership of 1908, while the
Kenosha association is second with 449
members, then follows Green Bay with
401, Lacrosse 400, Racine 391, The
Kenosha association is shown to be
in the lead In the state in the work
that is being done for the betterment
of men engaged in industrial occupa-
tions and the local association has a
total Of 2l9 members from these classes
while Beloit is second in this work
with membership Of 200. Associa-
tions in many Of the larger cities do
not in any way approach Kenosha in
this line of work, The Kenosha as
ISOLATION ranks third among the
branches in Wisconsin in the amount
Of money spent in the promotion of
work.
In the work of physical culture the
Kenosha association ranks among the
leaders in Wisconsin in all lines Of
athletics and it's gymnasium work is
far ahead of nearly all Of the associa-
tions in the larger cities of the state.
The report shows that the Kenosha
association paid more for the advance
ment of religious work than any asso-
citation In the state outside of MilWau-
kee and that the enrolment of mem
bers in the various schools for religi-
GUS instruction compared favorably
with those in any other institution in
Wisconsin not excluding Milwaukee.
In the point Of attendance at religi-
GUS meetings the report puts Kenosha
in third place in the state and the
average attendance at all meetings dur
ing the past year was AZ. Consider
ing all lines Of the work of the asso-
citation the Kenosha branch is entitled
to second rank in the state and it is
a close contender with Milwaukee for
first place. The Racine association,
while more generously provided with
funds has not reached the record made
by Kenosha and by the report is en-
titled to rank as the third association
in the state in all lines except with
regard to the number of members.
The officials of the Kenosha associa-
tion are deservedly proud Of the record
that has been made here and plans are
being made for even greater extensions
of the work during the coming year.

$4,000 TO WIDEN Street
Council Orders All Bad Places in Paw
ed Streets Repaired at Once Under
SUPERVISION of the City Engineer
Other Council Work.

Threats to force the trains of the
Northwestern Railway Company to
crawl through Kenosha at a snail pace
II the orders of the common council
are not obeyed, was the feature of
the meeting of the council held at the
city hall on Monday evening and the
war tnat was started against the rail
way company offered an opportunity
for the orators of the council to uncork
their eloquence and vent their long
subdued wrath against the corpora
ton.
Alderman George Wade declared
that it was time for the council to act
and insisted that it the railway com
pany did not meet every demand of
the council it was up to the council
to insist on the enforcement of the
state law and limit the speed of all
trains passing through the city to
fifteen miles an hour. This sugges-
ton did not receive the proper support
land it was decided to try the pursu-
asiye powers of the mayor and the
city attorney on the company and if
this fails the city may then resort to
some harsh measures. In the debate
on the question the mayor went into
figures with a will and declared that
the former council had given the
Northwestern Company a concession
worth fifty million dollars when it
passed the ordinance fixing the grade
Of the tracks at the present grade.
The council demands on the company
were of modest nature and included
the replanking Of all bad crossings in
the city, the building Of cross walks
to the width of five feet, the opening
of Valentine street and the proper
protecting Of the tracks of the COM
pany at the north end Of the city to
prevent the right-of-way being used by
pedestrians. The company has al
ready consented to grant these things,
but it has been very slow in carrying
out the agreement.
It is thought that the officials of
the company when advised that the
city means business will get busy and
make the changes that are thought to
be necessary The officials of the COM
pany, however, have not shown much
consideration to ellis Honor and the
members Of the common council of the
city of Kenosha' and this fact has
caused a soreness in the breasts Of
some of the members of the council
which BODIES trouble for the railway
company.
There was lot of minor business
to come before the council. The
claim of Peter Lobowthki for damages
for injuries received during the strike
at the n. R. Allen IS Sons tannery was
presented to the council and referred

ports of the street commissioners were

report showed that five of the funds
were now over-drawn and that the
total cash in bank amounted to but
$7,28805 and the appropriations made
at the meeting Monday evening will
go long way toward wiping out this

MARRIED IN CHICAGO
Miss Mary O'Neil and Theodore Koenig
Married on Sunday Afternoon

Miss Mary O'Neil, daughter of Mrs.
g. O'Neil and former resident of
Kenosha, was married at the parish
house Of st. Vincent's church in Chi
cago at three o'clock Sunday after
noon to Theodore Koenig Of Water
Creek, Mich. Many Kenosha people
attended the wedding ceremony and
the reception which followed at the
home of the bride. The bride was at
tended by her sister Miss Elizabeth
70 Neil and Ernst Koenig of Pittsburg,
a brother Of the groom acted as best
man. Mr. and Mrs. Koenig left Chi

they will make their future home.

The committee on streets reported
that the owners of the Sullivan proper
ty on Park street had demanded a
price of $4,000 for the thirteen feet
needed for the widening of Chicago
street between Market Square and
Park street and a majority of the
members of the council believed that
the amount asked was too high. Tt
was shown that the present owners of
the property had purchased this thir-
teen feet at a rate of $50 twenty
four years ago. The committee was
directed to make an offer of $4,000 for
the land and if this was declined to
seek to get petition asking for the
appointment of a commi ssien to fix
benefits and damages for the widening
of the street.
The council decided to proceed at
once with the thing of the poor farm
with view of making all the land
on the farm tillable and the work
which will cost between $500 and $500
was referred to the committee on pau
per affairs. 1t is planned to have this
work done at once in order that the
land may be ready for use at the open
ing of the spring season.
The question of concrete crossings
came up and was generally discussed,
Alderman Pirseh bringing figures to
show that the cement crossings could be
built cheaper than the brick ones and
that they made better crossings. The
latter assertion was questioned by
Alderman Hegeman, but the council
decided to give the cement crossings a
thorough test anu former Street Com
missioner Charles Steinbach was en-
ployed to put in three of the crossings
at the corner of Ridge and Pearl
streets. However, the city will not
wholly abandon the brick crossings
and car load of brick was ordered
to take care of some of the work which
is to be done between now and the
opening of the cold winter weather.
The council decided to spend another
$3.50 on the old steam fire engine and
the committee on streets and alleys
was ordered to put it into good con-
dition at once in order that it may be
in readiness for use in case of emer-
gency.
The committee on public grounds
was instructed to place drinking
fountain to connect with the artesian
well at the corner of South and Main
streets. The fountain which is to be
made wholly of brass will be put in
at once. The council accepted the
invitation to attend dance to be
given by the Columbus Club on the
evening Of October 18th and each
alderman was fitted out with a free
ticket for the function.
The streets and alleys committee
was empowered to proceed with the
work of tearing up the old approaches
to the Grand avenue bridge and this
portion of the roadway will be filled in
and paved. The lumber will either
be used in other BRIGGS about the city
or used in the building of sewers.
The committee was given further
time to consider the opening of Pine
street from it's present limit to the
westward.
