Cheyenne, Wyo.-Union Pacific and
Burlington railroads are racing for an
entrance into the newly developed dry
farming section southeast of Chevenne,
and both roads are preparing to run
feeders into that territory. it is report
ed that Union Prcific will extend its
Crow Creek branch in northern Colorado
from Briggsdale to the main line in
Pine Bluffs, distance of 60 miles.
Burlington will build connection from
its new coast line in northern Colorado
at Greeley, to its present line near
Hudson, practically paralleling the
Union Pacific new line.
The dry farming section into which
the big system wish to build has sud-
denly jumped forward in the production
of grains, and much freight is being
produced there in. The territory is
about 100 miles square.

DON'T LIKE new LAW
Liquor Interests of State to
Oppose Adoption ofAmend-
ment for Women Voting
PLANNING STATE WIDE FIGHT

Following in the wake of the cam
paign for woman IS suffrage in the
state of Wisconsin, comes another cam
paign along entirely different lines, in
augurated by the liquor interests
throughout the state for the defeat of
the suffrage movement in the next fall
election.
Representative of the Wisconsin
Estate Retail Liquor Dealers Protective
Association, backed with capital fur
nished by the leading brewery inter
ests throughout the state, are now
touring the state in the interests of
their cause and defeat of the won
ans suffrage movement at the polls.
A representative Of the association was
in the city last week for the purpose
of looking into the local situation, en-
deavoring to ascertain the standing of
the suffragette leaders on the liquor
question, and securing the support of
the local brewing interests and retail
dealers.
While it is not specifically stated by
those in authority in the Wisconsin
Woman's Suffrage association that the
policy of the association will be pro-
hibition, still the liquor interests say
that the granting of the ballot to the
women of the state will eventually re-
suit disastrously for the liquor trade
A determined campaign will be con-
Quoted against the wonlan's suffrage
movement during the next year ac-
cording to the brewing interets.
It is now definitely settled that
there will be no county option candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
governor placed in the field against
Francis 3. McGovern, they say.
Interviews with many of the mem
bers of the liquor dealers in the city
reveal the fact that they, although not
now members of the Wisconsin asso-
citation, are also against the woman S
suffrage movement, and it is expected
that before the expiration Of many
months, the association will assist in
the campaign against the granting of
the right of woman's suffrage in the
state of Wisconsin.

REMODEL GUILD HALL.
Addition Being Made to Dining Room
and Auditorium Of Popular Place.

Ground was broken this morning for
the remodeling of Guild hall, the popu-
lar gathering place of St. Matthews
church congregation and before the
end of the year the work will be COM
pleted and it will make the hall one
of the finest places of the kind owned
by any church organization in the
state. The plans for the remodelir 9
of the building provide for the builu-
ing Of an addition to the south OF
the building. The addition will be
thirty-tWo by thirty -eight feet and two
stories IN height. This addition will
make it possible to double the size of
the dining room on the ground floor
and the size Of the assembly room on
the second floor. For some time the
growth of the organizations affiliated
with the congregation have demanded
more room and it is expected that the
enlarged building will furnish accom-
modations for these organizations for
years to come. The proposed addition
will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000

The Chicago and Milwaukee Electric

viding for the sale of the road. The

Element of big claims against the re-

meeting would be held today at which
time it is thought that the bondholders
win reach an agreement. If the agree

for some final disposition of the prop
erty. No hint has as yet been given
as to whom the road will be sold, but
it is admitted that at least three great
companies are seeking to purchase it.

HOLD sEMI-ANNUAL MEETING.
Local Elks Hear Reports of officers and
Delegate to Grand Lodge Session.

The semi annual meeting of the Ke-
nosha Lodge of Elks was held on
Thursday evening at the lodge rooms
with a large number of the members of
the order in attendance. The semi
annual reports of the officers of the
lodge showed that every department of
the lodge was in good condition. Dur
ing The meeting Charles II. Gonnermann
who represented the lodge at the Grand
Lodge sessions, read a very interesting
report showing the work done by the
governing body of the order. The most
interesting feature of the Grand Lodge
session was the adoption of .the plans
for the building of splendid Elks home
at Bedford, Va. Following the bust
ness meeting of the lodge there was a
social session which proved very en-
joyable to the members.

teacher of Kenosha, recently signed a
contract to teach voice in the Wiscon-

Peoplein Western Part ofCity
Bitten by Dog Thought
to Have Hydrophobia
POLICE SLAUGHTER CANNES

The west side of the city is in the
throes of another mad dog scare as
early this morning q dog belonging to
John Ferch, who resides at 72 Rice
avenue went mad and before it was
killed several people were bitten.
Ferch and his son, four years old, were
attacked by the dog and both bitten
about the arms
Police Officers Newhouse, Clausen
and McClusky were sent out on the
case and with the aid Of George
Schneeberger, who resides in the dis
arict, they finally managed to corner
and kill the animal. At the time the
dog gave positive signs of suffering
from rabies. It is claimed that other
people and other dogs were bitten by
the animal and the police at once be-
gan search for these. Any dog
found to have been bitten was ordered
killed. In the meantime another dog
alleged to have been mad caused CON
sternation in the southwest part of the
city and it was finally killed at the
Fox home just south of the city limits
This dog is alleged to have bitten sew
eral people, but the police could not
secure the name of any one bitten.
1t is thought possible that the dogs
were bitten by some dog which came
from the southeastern part of Pleasant
Prairie where a number of dogs have
been found suffering from hydrophobia.
These dogs are supposed to have been
bitten by cattle suffering from the
disease. Ferch and his son were bare
~ scratched by the dog, but they are
taking no chances and will seek treat
ment at Pasteur Institute at once.
The members of the police force have
been ordered to keep close watch in
the district and kill any dog that
shows signs of rabies

BOYS FIND HOMES.

Sons of Jacob schaeffer Taken by Fred
Gleiehmann at Court Hearing.
Dressed in good warm clothes, with
clean faces and nicely combed hair
Anthony and John Schaeffer, claimed
to have been sorely neglected by
State Deputy Factory Inspector D. D.
Evans, appeared before Judge Taylor
in the county court on Wednesday af-
ternoon and the appearance of the boys
seems to indicate that the state Of
fetal must have been misled in his
statements in regard to them. The
older of the boys declared that he had
fifty dollars in money and that he was
perfectly able to take care Of himself.
Fred Gleichmann, manager of the Balm
farm, declared that he was ready to
adopt the younger of the boys and
that he would furnish a home for both
of them. The court ordered that the
boys be placed in the keeping of
Gleichrnann with the understanding
that they are to be sent to school and
be given the proper kind of home.
It is thought that this arrangement will
be entirely satisfactory to the indus
trial commission of Wisconsin by whose
officials the investigation was started.

WORK ON A BUSINESS BASIS
Business of the Organization VIII be
Conducted Along Lines That Will
De Perfectly Satisfactory to all
Interested.
E---s, ;----E

1t is the wish of the Associated
Charities to be as scientific in its ac-
counts as any up TO date business firm.
To this end it is keeping a set of books
which will be open at least once annu-
ally to public auditor-the scrutiny
of all the members of its board Of di-
rectors is at all times solicited.
For every expenditure 8 receipt is
secured. Once each week all the re-
ceipts secured during the week are col
lected and classified upon sheet call
ed the weekly voucher. This state
ment, together with the actual re-
ceipts, is turned III each week to the
treasurer, who keeps them on file.
However, before the receipts pass out
of the office, record is made of them in
three places.
First, on each case record is tabulat-
ed the amount spent on that particular
family for that week and the purpose
FOR which the money was spent Gas,
rent, food, clothing, etc. It is then
merely the matter of a amount to
glance at this tabulated sheet and
figure exactly the amount of money
spent on each family to date and the
purposes the money went for.
Second. set of books is kept-cash
book and ledger. In the cash book
is entered the amount of each weekly
voucher and the total is classified I'M
der the headings for which the money
has been spent, as, rents $3.50, food
$500, medicine $500, etc. From this
cash book can be quickly deducted the
seasonal needs Of the families helped.
For instance in voucher for a week
in December the fuel and clothing
items will be large, while in voucher
for a week in August the amounts
spent for these items will almost dis
appear.
Third, ledger is kept in which is
tabuiated under separate headings all
money spent. From this ledger can be
learned how much the Associated Chair
tics has spent to date for rents, how
much for nursing services, how much
for groceries, etc.
From this system of bookkeeping
then, the following information is con
stantly accessible-how much money it
takes to care for each family assisted,
for what items the money is spent, and
the totals of each item on ally cases
to date.

Not Taft,s way.

Editor Pulitzer continues to press
his popularity recipe on President Taft.
The president, he thinks, is not arous-
ing popular enthusiasm" with his
speeches, Ind the only way to stoke IT
up is to clap some sufficiently proml-
nent captains of industry in Jail at
once:
eff the administration would send
half dozen trust magnates to Jail,
it would help Mr., Taft immensely to
recover popularity"
Dur own impression of Mr.. Taft IS
that he would consider that a highly
improper motive for starting a Grim
inal prosecution. We will go so far
as to say that should some expert in
practical politics seriously approach
the president with such q proposition
he would do so at some risk of being
thrust out of the room by the
shoulders
Besides, even if the president s
ethical principles were 50 dense as to
permit him to take the Pulitzer advice
for currying political favor and to
send men to Jail in order to make him
self popular, how could he proceed9
He could hardly in our time and
country resort to the lettre de cachet
and rush Mr.. Morgan orcJudge Gary or
somebody to the bastile without trial.

CITY AND CO. REAP HARVEST
Fines and Costs for the Three Months
Amount to Considerable Over $500
and the Year Promises to Set New
Record for the Court.

The quarterly report of the munich
pal court for the months of July,
August and September filed with the
county and city treasurers on Thurs
day by James E. Tully, the clerk of
the court, shows that the work of the
court is constantly increasing and that
Notwithstanding the fact that the
months covered by the report are
known as the vacation months more
than 300 cases were handled. The re-
port shows that in 265 cases brought
before the court fines and costs were
imposed and the total amount collect
ed by the court in the quarter was
$2,799.11. OF this amount $1,731.59
was paid over to the county treasurer
and $l,067.52 to the city treasurer.
The amount received by the city
treasurer is larger than usual in the
summer months and this was brought
about by the score of prosecutions for
violations of the automobile speed or
dinance. These arrests have proved
to be very profitable for the city and
already the motorcycle has been paid
for and there is a good fund in the
hands of the city as result Of the
enforcement of the law.
During the three months there were
III county cases. Of this number the
great proportion were in the civil and
criminal justice branches of the court.
No record is made of the number of
cases in which the prisoners were dis
charged without fine or cost, but the
average number of these would not
be in excess of ten per cent. The re-
port shows fines collected in the cir
cult branches of the municipal court
to the amount Of $220.48. In the jus
tice criminal branch fines and costs to
the amount of $1,35S.73. The Justice
civil branch of the court made a re-
turn of $55.73 and the fines and costs
collected in the circuit civil branch
amounted to 1865.
During the year 1910 the court hand
led total of more than 1,700 cases
and it is expected that the number
handled this year will be close to the
1000 mark. This would mean an aver
age of nearly six cases day in the
various branches of the court. Many
times during the year the court has
handled as high as twenty city and
state cases in single morning and
there are few days on which there are
not three or four cases to be disposed
of.
The increase in the business of the
court without corresponding in
crease in expense is bearing out the
contention of the proposers of the
court that it would eventually prove
revenue bringer to the city and county.
The annual report of the clerk to
the county board which will be fled
the first part of next month will I'M
doubtedly show profit for both the
city and the county in the manage
ment of Che court.
