The City Club of Chicago is investi-
eating the cost of funerals in that city,
which, it declares, has gone beyond all
reason.
There is no more uncivilized or bru-
tai feature of business than the endea
vor to "regulate the tribute to be
exacted from sorrow in such manner
as to produce the largest dividends pos
sible. If there is one time when every
man is helpless to protest against i'm
possible extortion it is when he is try
ing to show respect to his beloved dead.
At that he pays 5000 for a SIS casket
and double price for carriages without
a thought of the injustice. He may
borrow the money to do it and his
family may scrimp for several years
to pay the money. But it is not con-
sidered seemly to bargain and haggle
over undertakers charges. AS we are
thus helpless in the face of grief,
might it not be a good plan to enforce
a little more regard for etiquette on
such undertakes as have been inhuman
enough to take advantage of our help
lessnessa If Chicago is to lead the
way in this reform, it is certain that
the effort of the City Club will meet
with hearty Endorsement throughout
the country-Peoria Transcript.

and he was removed to the Kenosha
hospital and physicians called to at
tend him. He never regained con-
seriousness and died just. after two
clock this morning, The body of
Keusta was picked up in the ditch at
the side of the track and it was evil
dent that he had been instantly killed.
The remains were not mangled, but the
mans back had been broken by the
engine.
Keusta has lived in Kenosha for sew
eral years and added pathos is brought
into the story of his death from the
fact that his wife and one child are
now on the ocean enroute to America.
The man was not in condition to work
on Monday and he spent much of the
day arranging for the furnishing of
home for the wife and child who were
expected to reach Kenosha about the
first of June.
A brother of the dead man is now
making an effort to stop the wife and
child in order that they may return
to friends and relatives In Poland
Keusta was so enthusiastic over the
coming of the members of the family
that he had taken little interest in
anything else for some time and he had
been talking of the plans for the re-
ception to the wife at the time the
train struck him.
The same jury will investigate the
killing of both of tbs men and an ef-
fort will be made to have the jury
recommend some plan by which this
loss of life at the culvert can be avoid
ed in the future.
Less than year ago fatal accident
took place at almost the same spot and
at that time the jury went out and
looked over the tracks and recommend
ed that the city or the railway COM
pany take some steps to offer better
protection for the people who feel that
| they must use the tracks of The rail
way company to get to houses along
the tracks. Technically the men were
trepassevs and 1t will probably be n
hard matter for the surviving relatives
to secure any damages from the com
pany for theis death There seems to
be no other way for the people seeking
the little houses to reach them with
ont using the TRACK and it win be up
to the city or the company TO provide
some safe walk in the future.

The Old Government Tender
''Dahlia' is Now the
"Fl0ra NJ. Hill"
LARGE SUM FOR REBUILDING

The government tender "Dahlia"
known on the lakes for many years
was formally put out of commission
this morning when the Hill Steamboat
Company received an official order from
the government officials at Washington
changing the name of the steamer
which was for so many years in the
government service to the ''Flora M.
HILL Many months ago when the
Hill company purchased the "Dahlia"
at bargain sale it was planned to
change the name, but before this could
be done yards of red tape had to be
unraveled by the government officials.
The Dahlia was originally built at a
cost of $81,800 and the rule of the
government provides that before the
name Of a boat whose hull is more
than fifteen years old can be changed
the inspectors must be shown that the
owners of the boat have spent at least
sixty per cent of the first cost of the
steamer in rebuilding it. This has
now been shown to the satisfaction of
the inspectors and by the formal order
of the government the Hill steamer will
steam out of the harbor today bearing
her new name plates. The boat is
named in honor of the wife of one of
the owners of the steamer. The re-
port of the government shows that the
Hill company spent in the neighborhood
of $4,000 in the. rebuilding of the
steamer which is now on the Kenosha,
Waukegan and Chicago line.
The steamer Getty of Marquette"
is now in a ship yard in Chicago and
is being thoroughly rebuilt. The re-
built steamer is expected to come to
Kenosha about the first Of June and as
soon as possible she will be put on
new run between Kenosha and Milwau-
kee.

The position taken by the property
owners in the south and west sides of
the city with reference to the right of
the city to maintain Jerome creek as
an open sewer can be readily under
stood and unquestionable they will
have all the powers of the state board
of health-whateve they may be--be-
hind them in their efforts to force the
city to take early action to improve
conditions. The city has been "wide
open" on that proposition for num-
Der of years and all that prevented
action being taken before was the hope
of the building of what has come to
be known as the FFtrunk line sewer. =
An open sewer flowing through thick
ly populated district is a relic of the
middle ages and a condition that would
not be tolerated in any other city in
the country of the size and wealth of
Kenosha. 1t will not be necessary
for the property owners who propose
to seek assistance from the state to
point out the advantages to the city
at large in the way of increased prop
erty values which will follow the build
ing of the sewer demanded by them.
They can win their case on the broad
ground that existing conditions are a
serious menace to the public health.
