It was largely through Mr.. TESTERS
splendid work with the committee
that Bemidji was one of the first

1t is now up to the business men

Mr.. Jester has received from Curtis

Axelson was standing in crowd
of men at the time he cut his throat,
but gave no warning that he con-
templated anything desperate. He
grabbed the knife from his pocket,
and before any of the bystanders
could interfere, he had cut himself
in several places.
Axelson will not talk concerning
bis attempt at self-destruction, other
than he said, at one time this morn
ing, that be was sorry that he hadn't
had a good knife.
But little is known of Axelson,
except that his mother lives in the
old country and that he has cousin,
John Nelson, living at FL East

has been telegraphed concerning
the attempted suicide.

be obliged to formally declare Its
acceptance of these conditions, each
of which is deemed after lengthy
conference, very necessary for the
successful handling of this work.
You will observe that this work
is not established for single year,
but is laid out with view to con-
tinuing it for at least three years;
that the work of re-organizing farm
methods, ETC., ETC., may be thor
oughly and Systematically done and
may be carried on long enough to
produce the best results and thor
oughly prove the soundness of the
methods employed.
1T is deemed desirable to utilize
not less than eighty acres, and the
whole farm is required, if possible.
To keep intelligent farm accounts on
a portion OF a farm is not deemed
practicable, nor is 1t believed of
the best advantage to the farmers
of a locality to demonstrate part, and
not all, of the farm work. Whenever
possible whole farms will be used,
that all the farm problems may be
carefully studied and the work car
ried on with profit to the owners of
the farm, to whom all profits being
obtained will naturally accrue. The
conditions are as follows: .1
The Farm Required. Ownership
The farmers used shall be owned
by private individuals, engaged in
the business of farming. Where
satisfactory arrangements can be
made with publicly-owned farms or
with farms handled by renters they
may also be used.
Size-See above. The farm
should be representative of the
locality in size, kind of soil and type
of farming followed. =~.s
Location-The demonstration
farm shall be located SO as to be
easily accessible from the railway
and town, and easily observed by
the farming community. 800 ....
Selectioh-The selection of the
farm shall be made by a committee
composed of three members of the
Commercial club, three; representa-
tive farmers chosen by the; farmers
of the locality at a meeting held
for the purpose, and by a representa-
tive of the Agricultural College.

The regular band concert will
be given this evening at h e
Armory, and much interest is being
taken in the event, because of the
fact that Professor Harry Masten,
director of the band, announces
that he will have a very attractive
progam, which will be even better
than the previous indoor concerts
given this winter by the band.
1t is the intention Of Director
Masten to cut the band numbers,
especially solos, and to give a more
varied program, in which local
talent, other than members of the
band, will participate.
The Bemidji male quartette,
Messrs. Rood, Barker, Nelson and
French, will render selections, and
Mr.. Rood will sing solo, and
others who are not yet announced
will take part.
The Bemidji orchestra will give a
dance at the close OF the concert,
the music to be furnished by the
orchestra.
Bemidji is proud of its band and
orchestra, there is no doubt about
the loyalty of local citizens in that
respect. But the best .exemplifca-
ton of this loyalty can be shown by
patronizing the concerts given by
the band. Prof. Harry Masten has
worked wonders with the band and
orchestra, and he deserves and
should get all financial aid possible.
Show your loyalty to the band in
the best possible manner, by attend
ing the concert Friday night; and
induce all your friends to buy tickets
and go;--that's loyalty of the right
kind.

wAUKEGAN cLEw WORTHLESS.
Offers of Cheap Automobiles Had Moth
ing to do With Jeffery Robbery.

The Waukegan clew in regard to the
alleged offers of cheap Rambler auto
mobiles has been shown to be worth
less in connection with the investiga-
ton of the facts connected with the
recent alleged robbe-ies at the plant
in this city. The letters were looked
up last night by Kenosha men and ley
were found to have been sent out by
one of the best Indiana agents of the
Jeffrey Company. He had not, quoted
any prices for the automobiles in the
letters and they were sent out in the
regular manner and were similar to
letters sent out by Jeffrey agents in
all parts of the country. The Kenosha
county officials will pay no more atten-
ton to the supposed Waukegan end of
the story.

THE PERPETUAL PUDDLE.

The News don It want to be classed
as a chronic kicker but there are several
things about the streets of Kenosha
that need attention and the authorities
don t seem to want to give them the re-
quired attention without a consider
able amount of persuasion. One of the
most glazing examples of neglect is the
perpetual puddle which is located on
the crossing at Market Square as you
cross from the south to the First Ma
tional bank This puddle has been
there every day since the pavement
was laid; whether it is due to too
much sprinkling or poor grade work
or the wrong grade used in paving or
the fault Of the street railway we are
unable to determine but the results are
evident to all who have occasion to
visit that part of the city and as most
of Kenosha's population use the cross
ing at this point, for one reason or
another, it affects us ALL There ought
to be some way to drain this place and
it ought to be fixed by the city and
the costs charged to the parties who
are responsible for the present condi-
tion of the pavement

A RAILWAY TO THE WEST.

The time for the periodic visit OF the
promoter to Kenosha is on again and this
time he is promising an electric railway
to run from Kenosha to the lake regions
in the western part of the county. The
company seeking this grant has not as
yet shown it's hand sufficiently to war
rant any one getting wrought up over
the matter but his coming has awaken
ed the interest of Kenosha in the propo-
sition. There is little doubt as to the
feeling Of Kenosha merchants in re-
gard to such a line and these men
would welcome it with open arms. In
such line they see the establishment
of closer trade relations between Ke-
nosha and the western end Of the coun-
ty. Frequent trains between that por-
tion Of the county would undoubtedly
swell the balance Of trade of Kenosha
to great extent during the year.
There is no doubt but that the mer-
chants would strongly urge favorable
action by the city council on any rea-
sonable proposition put up by any com
pany of men who showed that they
meant business and would build such a
line. The sticking point however, is
going to come with the men who own
property along the route of the propos-
ed line. In the past these men have
with progress and meet the electric
railway half way. 1t has always been
a case of heavy demands for small piec-
es wanted for right of way and dam
ages for everything that the railway
got be it small or great. Railways are
rated as great upbuilders and it is GER
tainly patent to all that property values
would be advanced by the coming of
the railway into this territory. AS farm
land is brought into closer relation with
the nearest commercial center the value
Of it is enhanced and it is certain that
the fertile farm lands in the county
west of Kenosha would be greatly in
creased in price by their owners being
offered more frequent connection with
the city. There is no reason to suspect
that the city council will sell the city 5
birthright for mess of pottage but
at the same time the members of the
council should look to the development
Of this trade for the city and at the
same time safe guard the city against
imposition by the promoters. A good
square business-like con, act, providing
for a proper consideration of value
received for entrance to the city to be
paid in>money or bneefts to the proper.
ty owners in and out of the city should
be the first consideration of the coun.
ell, East and west routes for railways
into Kenosha are few and far between
and the city should see to it that nc
rights are granted save to com
pany which means business and which
is willing to recognize that the city is
entitled to a proper return for the Civ
ing of the valuable grant.

Skovgaard Concert Party
Gives Charming Program
Wednesday Evening
DANISH v|OL|N|ST WINS PRAISE

One of the most charming musical
entertainments ever given in Kenosha
took place at the Goldberg Coliseum
on Wednesday evening when the Skov-
gard Concert party headed by Axel
Skovgaard the eminent Danish violin
list and made up of high grade musi,
clans played before a crowd of 800
music lovers of Kenosha- Skovgaard is
one of the most famous violinists of his
time and has played before many of
the crowned heads of Europe. He is a
master of the art and the program
rendered proved to be one of the most
pleasing programs ever given by a
musical organization in Kenosha.
Herr Skovgaard was assisted by Miss
May Warner and Miss Alice McClung
in the concert and all Of them made
a decided hit with the audience. Herr
Skovgaard S Interpretation of the great
compositions of the masters of music
being among the best that were ever
heard here.
The gifted violinist opened the. con-
cert with Greig's Sonato and followed
with Mendelssohn s Concerto" rem
dering the difficult selection with great
feeling and swaying the audience with
his masterful playing. Miss May War
ner then sang a. selection "Aria Dore
Sono" from Mozart s "Figaro, y
bringing out the full effectiveness of
the piece, by her excellent voice. "Pol-
onaise No. % from List was then
given by Miss Alice McClung, after
which Skovgaard rendered selections
from Beriet, Chopin, and Vieuzstamps.
The "Nocturne," Of Chopins was espe-
cia1ly fine. Following this Miss May
Warner sang two songs of Meir and Rer-
man, "When Celia Sings" and "But-
terfies.''
The program was concluded with two
selections on the violin by Skovgaard,
one of which Hungarian Suite was
of his own composition, and the other
from Vieuxtemps, the great French
master of music.
Not the least appreciated portion of
the program was the playing of the
old melodies "Home Sweet Home'' and
"Suwanee River by the violinist who
graciously gave these popular melodies
as one of the encores of the evening.

Harry Slocum Hero of Rob
berry at Brass Mills Would
Get Out of Prison Now
HAS SERVED LESS THAN YEAR

Harry Slocum former Kenosha man
who is serving term of three years
in the state prison at Waupun has made
application for parole from the institu-
ton and it is probable that the parole
will be opposed by the officials of this
county. Slocum was sent to prison
after he had been arrested on a charge
of grand larceny and the case was one
of the most sensational to come up in
the city in a number of years. Slocum
went to the plant of the Chicago Brass
company on the evening Of Dec. ID,
1909 and assaulted George Mahoney
one Of the Office men of the company
who was on his way to one of the de-
partments with pay roll amounting
to 800. Slocum grabbed the money
and started to get away with it but
after one of the most exciting chases
ever known in the city he was captur-
ed Hugh Rafferty, starred in the cap
ture of Slocum. When he was arraign
ed in court on the following day he
consented to plead guilty to the charg-
es against him and told the court 3
story of being forced to commit the
robbery to secure money for the sup
port of his wife. The story Of the pris-
oner was taken into consideration in
making the sentence and the court
gave him a light sentence with the
understanding that all of the money
was recovered.
during the ten months that he has been
confined at the state prison and a
short time ago he sent a request to
the officials of this county asking that
they recommend that he be transferred
to the state reformatory at Green Bay.
The officials consented to make this
request but they declare that they
are not favorable to the plan Of par
ding Slocum after such short term
Of service.
Chief of Police O'Kare spent Thurs
day afternoon at the state prison and
Slocum made a personal appeal to him
for aid in securing his liberty.
The chief during his stay at the in
stitution looked up all the KenoSha
prisoners and all of them are in good
health. Several of them are planning
to ask for parole. 1t IS declared
that the number of prisoners from this
county in the state institution Is larg-
er in proportion to the size of the
county than from any other county in
the state except Milwaukee.

WANT TRI-CITY LEAGUE.
Racine Bowlers Start Movement to
Interest Kenosha and Milwaukee.

A movement has been started in
Racine to provide for the organization
of a tri-city bowling league to be made
up Of teams from Milwaukee, Racine
and Kenosha. At a meeting of the
Racine bowlers held on Wednesday af-
ternoon it was decided to send out in
yitations for meeting to be held in
Racine for the organization of such
league. The plans as outlined provide
for the playing of a full schedule of
games the schedule to be made up in
the same way that base ball league
schedules are arranged. Prominent
bowlers in this city when seen this
morning declared that the new league
would meet with the sanction of Ke-
nosha bowlers and that the Kenosha
team would be organized just as soon
as the plans for the league had been
perfected This is the first time that
this plan has been tried in the three
cities and it is certain to bring lot
Of sport for the bowlers during the
winter months.
