$4,000 DEBT TO BE CLEARED

With a band of one hundred women
to canvass the city today for $100 sub
scriptions, every effort will be put forth
by the Young Women's Christian asso
citation to bring down the outstanding
debt of 900 to the zero mark The
city will be well covered by the solicit
ors, but the telephones will be put to
use and many subscriptions, it is eX-
pected, will be taken over the wire.
Between 4:30 and o'clock rally will
be held at the association building and
reports will be turned IN.
The campaign today is under the
management Of Mrs. Giles Kellogg.
Buttons have been provided for the
workers, and each person canVassng
will be expected to wear one. Many
other women who have been quietly
working for the fund during the cam
paign of the present month VIII also
make reports at the meeting this even
ing, and an enthusiastic gathering is
expected by those in charge
This movement was started by Mrs.
w. j. Chichester, who is now at the
head of the committee. This committee
is still endeavoring to fill the list
which 1t is confident of doing before
Christmas.
At the time the movement was
launched to raise the money, in 1907,
it was believed that the Indebtedness
of the building could be cleared away
within a short time. During the con
struction, however. it was seen by the
rapid increase in membership that the
building as planned would not be large
enough, and another story was added,
with other costly parts which ran the
cost of construction up much more
than was formerly anticipated. The
association now has more than 5000
members.

bAASF s<&&AS w 49, - AsesAA &AOA44Js
The winter schedule Of the interur-
ban lines Of the Milwaukee Electric
Railway and Light company, went in
to effect today and all interurban cars
will now run hourly until next spring
when the schedule will again be chang
ed.
During the past summer cars on the
Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha in
terurban line were run hourly except
ing on Saturdays and Sundays when
cars were run on the half hour sche-
dule. After today there will be no
half hour service Saturdays and Sun
days on the Milwaukee, Racine and
Kenosha line.
1t was expected that before the
building season closed this year that
Mr.. Beggs would have applied to sew
eral of the towns of Racine county for
franchises to build an interurban line
from Racine to Waterford connecting
with the interurban line at that point.
Farmers in the district between Ra-
cine, Franksville, Kilbournville and
Waterford, desire that an interurban
line be built and have petitioned the
railway company. Surveys have been
made but no other work has been done
by the company.

COULDN'T STAND JosHING.
Frederick Hill a Il Year Old Boy Runs
Away From lone in Kansas.

Frederick Hill ! fourteen year old
boy and about the biggest fourteen
year old boy ever seen in Kenosha IS
being held at the county jail pending
the coming of his sister from Chicago.
Frederick lives on farm way down
in southern Kansas and he ran away
from home last Saturday and managed
to get as far as Balm station before
his money ran out. He was found wan
dering about Balm last night and the
sheriff was notified and went out and
brought him to Kenosha. The boy was
free to admit to the sheriff that he had
run away from home. He said that he
was not willing to stand the fun that
was being poked at him by his sisters
and other girls in the neighborhood.
The boy weighs hundred and thirty
two pounds and he declared that he
had been the butt of all sorts of ridi-
cule on account Of his size and he final
ly decided to run away. 1t, is probable
that he will be back on the Kansas
farm before the end Of the week.

? O.WDER LET'S co
Wheel Mill of Latin Rand
Plant Completely Wreck
ed By Explosion
MEN HAVE FORTUNATE ESCAPE

The wheel house of the plant of~the
Latin, Rand Powder company at
Pleasant Prairie was completely de-
stroyed by an explosion at 11:30 Tues
day night but no one was injured in
the accident. Forty kegs Of powder
which had been stored in the wheel
house let go and the building was com
pletely wrecked and portions of the de-
bris scattered over the surrounding
country for some distance. To use the
words of one of the men at the Office
of the company it was the worst
wheel blow in the history of the
plant but at the same time it was the
most fortunate of the chain of explo-
sions that have taken place at the Ke@
nosha county plant. In three minutes
more there would have been a number
Of men at work in the wheel house and
they would undoubtedly have lost their
lives. The men lad left the building
q Hall uOuI 6dIiISI anu were SGdnQlHg
near the Office talking preparing to re-
turn to work when the explosion took
place. The men rushed for shelter and
all of them escaped uninjured. The
rain of splinters about them continued
for half q. minute and after it was over
it was found that the wheel house was
in ruins. AS in the case of other ex-
plosions the men at the plant are un-
able to assign any cause and it is GER
tain that there was no one in the wheel
house at the time. The property loss
to the company will be considerable
one but it is stated at the offices of the
company that the wheel mill will be
rebuilt at once. The force of the ex-
plosion was felt for miles about Pleas
ant Prairie and at Russell, I'll. but no
report of its being felt was received
in Kenosha.
None of the other buildings of the
plant were damaged by the explosion.

RAILWAY COMPANY WILL ACT
Jury Investigating the Death of Stella
Wasniewski Demands Better Protec-
tion For Pedestrians of the City of
Kenosha.

The coroner s jury called to investi-
gate into the death of little Stella
WasnieWski who met death on the
tracks of the Northwestern railway at
the intersection of Ounce street COM
pleted the inquest on Tuesday evening
and returned a verdict of accidental
death without making any effort to
fix the responsibility for the accident.
The evidence showed that the child was
walking on the right Of way of the
company when she was struck by the
engine and fatally injured.
The jury however went further and
made a recommendation that immediate
steps be taken to do away with the
death trap surrounding the so called
tunnel and the verdict urges that the
common council of the city of Kenosha
and the officials of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway company at once
take some steps to provide safe pas
sage for the people walking along the
tracks between Middle and Lemon
streets. This portion Of the tracks of
the company has cost the city of Ke-
nosha twelve lives in the past four
years and in the past year four people
have been killed while walking along
the tracks within few feet of the
same spot. It is veritable death
trap and it is certain that the council
will follow the suggestions of the COR
oner's jury and take some immediate
steps to have conditions renedled. One
Of the assistant claim agents of the
Northwestern Railway company was
present at the inquest and he declared
that the company would be willing to
meet the city half way in any plan that
could be devised to make safe pas
sage way for people along the tracks
of the company between the two points.
1t is declared that it will be something
of an engineering feat to make a prop
er passage and that it will mean the
expenditure of considerable money and
that part of the cost should be paid
by the city of Kenosha. The tracks
of the company at this point can not be
properly guarded to prevent people go
ing on the right Of way and in nearly
every case where fatal accidents have
been recorded the fault has been with
the person who was killed. 1t is i'm
possible to prevent people taking a
short cut to their homes by walking
along the railway tracks. It has been
suggested that sidewalk be built on
the east side of the tracks and it is
thought that such plan would in
measure make it possible to avoid
many accidents in the future. The
railway company has ordered it's track
walkers and tower men to prevent as
far as possible the use of the right of
way Of the company at these points
but it is impossible for these men to
keep all the men, women and children
off the tracks
Many school children use the tracks
at the present time and it is rather
q remarkable fact that of the large
number of people who have been killed
in the four years but one victim has
been child.

the purpose of that department this
year to put on special force in the
woods to protect the game and enforce

ing a special effort to attract compet-
ent men to this examination.

ATTORNEY GENERAL 10 DECIDE
Right of Mayor to Hold Office For cisy
and County To BE Put Up To
State Official Before Election Is
Held

With the possibility of the election
of Mayor Scholey as member OF the
assembly from .Kenosha county, the
question has been raised already as to
the right of the mayer to continue Ill
his position as mayor of the city after
he has been elected to the legislature
and the attorney general of the state
will be asked to give a ruling on this
question before the general election is
held. The question has been put up to
City Attorney Calvin Stewart and he
has declined to rule on it declaring that
he viii have to look up the law lot
before he is ready to give an. opinion.
Other attorneys in the city claim that
Scholey can not hold both Offices and
chat in the remote chance of his cleo
tion to represent the county in the leg
islatHre it will be necessary for him to
resign his Office Of mayor Peter Pirsch
president of the city council could act
in the absence of Mayor Scholey should
it be held that he is not forced to
resign the office of mayor but should
he be forced to choose as to his alleg
lance to the city or the county and he
should decide to accept the honor of
going to the legislature it would be
necessary to call special election to
select a mayor to fill the unexpired
term.
Mayor Seholey himself feels convinc-
ed that he can hold both offices and
give a part Of his time to the city in
KenosLa and the remainder to the
county in Madison.
The mayor is leaving no stone I'M
turned to secure the election and he
has taken the stump and is making
speeches nightly in the city and county
with view of advancing his candi-
dacy. He has found what he considers
a fertile field in the lake regions of
\the county and is spending lot OF
time in these portions. of the county
Assemblyman Curtiss is not being caught
mapping as to the conditions and he has
followed the lead of ohe mayor and has
started out for an early campaign. The
assemblyman is not making any speech
es but he is planning to visit every
voter in the county and personally
present his claims for reelection.
Both the Democrats and the Repub-
licans are planning for a speaking cam
paign in the county and it is said that
the state committees consider this
county as fighting ground and that
many speakers of state and national
reputation will be sent to Kenosha and
other parts of the county during the
campaign. Among the Republican
speakers booked to speak in this coun-
ty are Senator LaFollette and Francis
F. McGovern the Republican candidate
for governor. Congressman Cooper is
also booked to make at least three
speeches in the county.
