APPEALS FROM RULING
Northwestern Railway Co. Goes Into
Court ON Fox River Telephone Order

The Northwestern Railway Company
is not going to submit to the ruling
of the Wisconsin Railway Commission
in the Fox River Telephone case with
out fight and the company has filed
an appeal from the decision of the
commission with the circuit court of
Dane county. The case is regarded
as an important one for the railway as
well as the telephone company. Peo-
pie residing in the neighborhood of the
village Of Fox River sent a petition
to the railway commission demanding
that the Northwestern company install
a telephone at the Fox River station
for the convenience of the shippers
and other people using the station.
The company attorneys made an Ella
borase argument against the petition,
but after long consideration the
commission ordered the telephone in.
The attorneys declare that the prece-
dent will be bad one and one that
will prove expensive to the company
and for this reason they have appeal
ed the matter to the circuit court.

OFFERS WORK At LOW RATES
Declares That it viii be Possible to
Cover the Macadamed Streets With
Asphaltum Oil at Cost of Three
Cents a Square Yard

| J. D. Harbeck of Chicago, special
representative of the road oil depart.
ment of the Standard Oil Company
was in Kenosha on Friday afternoon
comforting with members of the com
mon council in regard to test Of oiled
streets in Kenosha and he made prop
ositions to members Of the council
which may lead to test of the use
of oil on the macadam streets of Ike
nosha during the coming summer
months.
| Macadam streets in Kenosha have
proved very unsatisfactory on account
of the dust and Mr.. Harbeck claims
that the Standard Oil Company has a
treatment for such streets which will
completely eliminate this objectional
feature at decidedly small cost. The
treatment is the applying of one coat
of an oil with an asphalt base and
the Standard Oil Company gives a
guarantee that one application Of this
particular oil will place the street in
such condition that there will be
no trouble from dust for a whole year
The cost Of the oiling of the street
| is comparatively small and the agents
of the company claim that the streets
can be oiled cheaper than they can be
sprinkled and that the results attained
are much more satisfactory. Agent
Harbeck declared that the Standard
Oil Company would sell the oil to the
city at rate which would make it
possible for the city to oil the maca-
dam streets at cost not to exceed
three cents for the square yard
Most Of the macadam streets are thirty
feet in width and this would make
the cost of oiling the street to the
owner of fifty foot lot a little less
than SIS for the season. In order to
get the streets Of Kenosha in shape
for oiling it would probably be neces.
sary for the city to spend in the neigh
borhood of 5000 There are some bad
places on Exchange and Chicago
streets and these would have to be
fixed up by the city before the oil
was put on. The property owners
would have to pay for the application
of the oil just as they would pay for
sprinkling of the streets. Agent Har-
beck declares that the city can save
a lot Of money by doing this work
itself as he declares that in some
places the municipalities are charged
as high as ten cents square yard by
the companies putting on this oil
Should the city decide to take up the
matter the Standard Oil Company
would send men to Kenosha to have
charge Of putting on the oil and they
would see to it that it was put on in
manner that would be entirely salts
factory to the property owners.
1t is expected that within short
time petitions will be circulated on all
the macadamed streets in order to get
the will of the people and if they de.
eide to test the oil system the work
can be done and the cost of it charged
in the tax roll in the same manner as
sprinkling assessments are charged.

The plan of having backward pupils
or detectives, as they are called, plac-
ed in one room under a special teach
er who can give them more individual
attention than they can get in the
regular classes has worked well in
other cities not only for the pupils
who require special attention, but for
those Of average ability the effect up
on whom of a backward pupil is very
noticeable and it is probable that the
new school board will see its way clear
to give it trial in this city. With
the completion of the Columbus school
it will be possible to SO arrange the
attendance that room can be provid-
ed for these pupils in any one of the
more centrally located school buildings.

AUTO TURNED OVER
Anton Conforti Had Narrow Escape
From Injury on Rowland Ave

Anton Conforti, the well known
Park street tailor had narrow escape
from injury on Rowland avenue just
north Of Market street just after noon
Sunday when an automobile he was
driving turned turtle COnforti and
companion were thrown out, but both
escaped without serious injury. The
automobile was one Of the small Ford
runabouts and it is thought that the
accident was caused by Conforti at
tempting to turn the auto too quickly.
AS Conforti put it the automobile
"just got tired and rolled over on its
side. The little car was badly dam
aged but the occupants were fortunate
to escape without injury.

The voters Of the Second Congress
sionaI District of Kansas have now be-
fore them the question OF retaining in
his seat Charles F. Scott. who has
served them so weH in Congress for
nine years. or replacing him by a new
and untried man. We trust that there
will be no hesitation in making a dect-
sion to retain Mr.. Scott In the place
where he has been SO useful to his dis
trict and also to the United States. Mr..
Scott has commended himself to the
to fit himself for the duties Of his office
and by industry and ability in discharg-
ing those duties. This has brought him
deserved Advancement in the House,
until he was made Chairman of one of
its most important committees, that of
Agriculture. While James Wilson. Sec
retary Of Agriculture, has received high
praise for bringing his Department so
well to the front, a great deal of the
credit is due to Mr.. Scott, who has
championed the interest of the Depart
ment, and of the farmers so well upon
the floor of the House. AS soon as he
was placed on the Agricultural Com
mittee ne began systematic, painstak-
ing study of the Department and of its
great possibilities for increasing the
welfare of the men who till the soil
He and the Secretary have worked hand
in hand in the development of the De-
partment in all useful directions. Thus
it has been made one of the most pro-
gressive Departments of the Govern
ment. and its beneficial action extends
TO every agricultural interest. as it
should. Mr.. Scott has an additional in
terest TO the veterans in being the son
| Of a worthy comrade, with a warm
feeling for his fathers old comrades
This be has shown in innumerable ways.
and no call upon him for help in any
