standing the inclemency of the wealth
er the membership Of the church was
well represented at the meeting and
a great interest was shown in the af-
fairs of the church. The annual re-
ports of the officers Of the parish

greater interest has been taken in all
of the work of the parish.

Kenosha Electric Railway Con
pany Begins Work Of Laying
Tracks on Ashland Ave.
MEET WITH NO OPPOSITION
Company Declares That Line to Base
Bali Park viii be Ready by the
Middle Of May-An Work to
be Completed at Once

The work of extending the lines of
the Kenosha Electric Railway was
started in earnest this morning when
force Of thirty men was put to
work at the corner Of Market street
and Ashland avenue and by noon the
work of laying the track on Ashland
avenue was well under way. The
company is planning to increase the
force Of workmen to hundred just
as soon as the ties long since ordered
for the extensions of the lines arrive
Ashland avenue was one Of the old
storm centers for opposition to the
line, but the worknen met with abso
lutely no trouble when they attacked
the street with picks and shovels this
morning and there is no reason to. be-
lieve that there will be any effort to
stop the progress of the line on the
avenue. The property owners are
seemingly reconciled to the coming Of
the railway and will make no further
objections. The company has decided
to bend all it's energies to have the
line leading to the bail park completed
and ready for service by the middle
Of May. The trolley poles have all
been put up both on Ashland apd
Grand avenues and a large portion Of
the tracks on Grand avenue have al
ready been laid. If the line is to run
all the way to the ball park it will be
necessary to get portion Of the right
Of way for it from the town Of som
ers and as yet the company has taken
no steps in this direction 1t is under
stood that no objection would be raise
to the completion Of the line by the
property owners and it is probable
that the Town Board would be largely
influenced by the action of the prop
erty owners. The line is to be ex-
tended south from Market street on
Ashland avenue and south on West
Main street just as soon as the lines
are completed on Grand avenue and it
looks as if it would be an easy matter
for the company to have every extern
sion demanded in the franchise Of the
company completed by the latter part
of June or the first of July. The
rails for all of the extensions are here
and ties have been ordered The
special work which always caused
great delay in past years has all been
on the ground for more than year
and all that remains is for it to be
put in.

CARY rs GRATEFUL
State superintendent Reelected Thanks
His Friends for Support

State Supt. G. z. Cary on Monday
said he was reelected by a plurality
of about 5000 over Prof. L. W. Wood
of Neillsville, his nearest opponent.
Official returns from a large part Of
the state would appear to confirm his
claim He gave out the following
statement on his reelection on Mon
day:
"The earthquake and the fire have
passed by, and the atmosphere has
cleared. / am more deeply indebted
than ever to the people Of Wisconsin
for their good will and favor. I can
repay them only by the most devoted
and unselfsh service to the cause Of
education in the future as in the past.
I did little in the way of making a
campaign, and what I did do was car
lried on in d manner that seemed 10 me
suited to the dignity and Importance
of the office. / made no combinations
Of any sort or description, and pledged
myself to no man or interest. The
lonly effort that | made with the poll
tical powers Of the state was in the
direction of suggesting that it would
be illtimed and out Of place Tor any
political organization to father any
candidate campaign or to ally them
selves with his campaign in an organ
lied way I am therefore absolutely
free to discharge all the duties Of the
Office in such manner as. seems just and
right, and in the interest of all the
people.

ARRANGE FOR MUNICIPAL COURT
City Engineer Office to be Moved to
Make Room for New Court

The Commission named to secure
quarters for the use IF the new NUM-
cipal Court of Kenosha county, has
decided to use the old county building
as a home for the court and to this
end the city will be asked to move the
office of the city engineer from the
building to the Benedict and Tarbell
building and thus give room for an
office for the judge and clerk Of the
Municipal Court. The portion Of the
City Hall now used as a Council cham
Der will also be used as Municipal
Court room The office of the city
clerk will be left where it is until the
lease held by the city on the build
ing expires It is thought that the
city will be willing to provide for the
change of the location Of the engi-
neer's office at once.

Waukegan Railway Men Declare
Kenosha Capital May Build Line
to Western Lake Districts
COMES AS SURPRISE HERE
Men Interested in Local System De-
clare They Have Not Heard
Mention Of This Proposition
Since Last Fall

With the regularity second only to
the regularity Of the changing seasons
comes the story that plans are being
made for the building of an electric
railway from Kenosha to the lake
regions. There is novelty in the story
this year on account of the fact that
the line which is being built an paper,
lis more extensive than ever before.
The story Of the project has greatly
aroused Waukegan as it is declared
there that the scheme Of the Kenosha
people threatens to interfere with the
plans Of Waukegan company, headed
by Robert E. Wynne, which has been
planning on the building Of similar
line for a long time.
According to the yarn from Wauke-
gan the Kenosha party has been quiet
,,ly making surveys for many months
and the project is just about ready to
be launched.
lie IL lo JUST pOoolDlO CHdG bhO " c1llAC7
gan men have uneartned very care
fully guarded secret on the part Of the
Kenosha men, but there seems to be
ng one in Kenosha who is willing to
admit that he knows any thing about
the proposed plan. It is thought pos
| sible that the fact that surveys for
such line were made last summer
may have just reached Waukegan, but
it was generally known in Kenosha
last fall that the company which cags-
ed these surveys to be made had long
since given up all ideas Of building
the line. The new owners Of the Ke-
nosha electric railway have shown
signs of progress along several lines,
but representatives of the company in
Kenosha have intimated that the com
pany will have all It can handle to
make the extensions in Kenosha with
out building any lines in other parts
Of this and other states.
There is no doubt but that any
reputable company seeking a right-of-
way for such line in this county
would be met half way by the proper
ty owners, but there is no reason at
this time to think that they will have
a chance. It is very probable that
the Waukegan promoters are unneces-
sarily aroused and that they will be
permitted to 60 right ahead and build
western line without interference.
The line proposed by the Waukegan
men will not touch any points in this
county as it is planned to build it west
from Waukegan to Fox Lake. 1t is
proposed to make the line a connect
ing line for the Chicago and Milwau-
kee, but the officials Of that company
are not financially interested in it.

TO HAVE MUSICAL FEAsTs
Greatest Organizations in the Country
to be Engaged for Ravinia Park

Ravinia Park will be opened this
summer by the general committee of
the Rayinia Park Association 1t is
planned to engage the great musical
organizations Of the country to play
there and to provide other features
that will make the park a success
this year
A campaign for funds has been
started similar to that which
brought in $4,000 in advance last
year. Pledges will be asked for tick
cts and when a sufficient fund is
guaranteed the court will be asked
to empower the receiver for Ravinia
Park to engage attractions such as the
Thomas orchestra and Walter Dam
rosch's New York Symphony orches-
ira.
Last year the people Of the north
shore and many in Chicago responded
to a similar appeal and raised $4,000
and to those who subscribed for
tickets is due the credit for continuing
the park as the foremost institution
Of it's kind in the country. The result
was such that the receiver was able
to operate the park and have sufficient
funds to pay all expenses.
It is the intention to have an IL
weeks season, commencing june 10,
and it is imperative that it be
known as soon as possible if the adj
vance subscriptions will be sufficient
to warrant closing contracts for the
attractions.
