TAKE SECOND GAME
Kenosha Team Defeats the
All Chicagos By Score Of
8 to 6 Sunday Afternoon
HOPE PITCHES A GREAT GAME

The Kenosha base ball team played
the second game of the season on Sun
day afternoon when it defeated the
All Chicago team of Chicago by a
score of 8 to 6. It was a ragged
game but there was just enough bril-
liant playing on the part of the teams
to make it interesting and the errors
were so generously distributed that
they added interest to the contest. It
was a hit and run game and in the last
of the game the Kenosha boys had all
the best of it. Larsen who pitched
for the visitors was not a star of the
first water and the Kenosha boys lam
basted the ball right and left. Hopf,
who pitched for Kenosha, gave great
promise. He struck out fifteen of the
visitors and while he allowed nine hits
these hits were well distributed and
with perfect support on the part of
the felders the number would have
been cut down materially. Neither
OF the pitchers had anything like gilt
edged support.
The feature of the game was Powers
three base hit to the fence, he being
the only batter to get better than a
single during the game.
Only a small crowd turned out to
witness the game, 1t is announced

ABUSE OF PRIVILEGES
Railroads to Stop Shipping of Baggage
Without Purchase of Tickets

The passenger departments Of the
railroad companies are seeking to
bring about uniformity in baggage reg
ulations which will remedy much of the
uncertainty inherent in present methods
besides removing what the roads con
slider abuses of the baggage privileges
by the public.
The principal point now under con-
sideration, through correspondence be-
tween the various passenger associa-
tions, is as to what part of the fare
should be credited to the service of
carrying the passengers baggage, es-
pecially in cases where baggage is act
ually shipped, as indicated by the
punch mark on the ticket, but the
passenger himself fails to make the
journey, and applies for a refund of
his fare.
Under these conditions some rail
roads have contended that no refund
should be made at all, while others
simply make charge instead on the
excess baggage rate.
Another proposition being consider
ed is to charge double the excess rate
for the baggage transported, with a
minimum of ST. and a maximum of $40
where the passenger does not travel.
One of the alleged abuses which the
roads seek to regulate is the practice
of so-called purchasing agents in towns
outside of large cities who ship trunks
into the city, fill them with packages,
and send them home as personal bag
gage on a Communication ticket.

POINTS REGARDING THE CENSUS

The census begins April Is and must
De completed in thirty days.
The enumerators will wear badge
inscribed "United States Census,
1907
The law requires every adult person
to furnish the prescribed information,
but also provides that it shall be treat
ed confdentially, so that no injury
can come to any person from answer
ing the questions.
The census bureau, prior to April
10, will distribute to every farm own
er and tenant in this state a blank
or schedule containing the census ques-
tons relative to farm operations and
equipment. This should be filed up,
If possible, not later than the morning
OF April Is, but if anyone. has been
unable to fill it up by that time, he
should do it as soon afterwards as he
can.
People who do not speak English or
who do not understand the schedule
completely should get help from others,
if possible, in filing it up.
The president has issued proclama-
ton, calling on all citizens to cooper
ate with the census and assuring them
that it has nothing to do with taxa
ton, army or jury service, compulsory
school attendance, regulation of immi-
grafton, or enforcement Of any law, and
that no one can be injured by answer
ing the inquiries
1t is Of the utmost Importance that
the farm census of this state be COM
plete and correct.
Therefore every farm owner and ten
ant should promptly, fully and accur-
ately fill up the "advance farm
schedule" and carefully preserve it
for the enumeration when he calls.

was contrary to the constitution of the
state and that no referendum or gen.
eral laws were permitted under the
constitution. The court holds that
general laws may be submitted to, and
made to depend upon, the vote of the
electors of the state. This is a sub
ject over which there has been much
debate. It has been generally con-
sidered by the bar of the state that
the constitution did not provide for a
referendum of general laws The su-
preme court has, however, settled that
to the contrary. This pronouncement
IS OF very great Importance and well
worthy of public attention.
