TO COMMENCE
WORK AT ONCE
Work on the Interurban Rail-
way Will Begin After the
Fourth of July.

The directors of the new Inter
urban Street Railway Company met
in this city Wednesday afternoon and
discussed all the preliminary arrange
ments necessary for the commence
ment of work with Mr.. Knox of Chi
cago, President of the Knox Construc
ton Co. He was present and went
over the contemplated line and all
minor details connected with the To-
cation of the right-of-way have been
decided upon. From information re-
ceived from Madison it is now be-
lieved and understood that the new
company will have no trouble in this
enterprise with the State Railway
Commission.
We are therefore glad to announce
that work will commence on the
trading and building of the new In
terurban Street Railway from Ne
koosa to Grand Rapids as soon as
the Knox Construction Company can
get their outfit and paraphernalia on
the ground with which to do the
work. This is pleasant news to us
and we know it will be perfectly sat
isfactOry to the community as a
whole and that nothing will now oc-
cur to further retard the construc-
ton of the line.

BADLY BURNED
WITH KEROSENE

Miss Ethel Hayes, the 16-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Hayes, was badly burned Tuesday
afternoon while starting a fire with
kerosene. 1t appears that she pre-
pared the stove with kindling for
fire. She afterwards poured kero-
sene on the wood, some of which
leaked through the fire box into the
ash pan. The fire was slow in start
ing and therefore created gas which
exploded and in the explosion her
face and left hand were badly burned
She is now getting along nicely and
will suffer no serious results ex-
cepting the burning sensation to
her face and left hand.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

The Bell Boy Company played two nights last week in the Holt Opera House, to fair sized audience. The first performance was the usual ad- mixture of dancing girls, ragtime mu- sic and slapstick humor; it was a vulgarian atrocity, but the Bl Centro people have seen worse. The second nights performance was different. The presentation of Mrs. Temples Telegram" was welI-balanced, with Johnny and Ella Calvin in the leading roles The scenery and electrical ef- fects carried by the company were excellent, and the setting for the last nights performance was proba- bly the handsomest ever seen in the local opera house.
