TERRE RiUTE TO LOSE PLANT
Company Manufactures Motors for
Motor Boats and Automobiles and
Takes up Monoplanes as Side Line
After Successful Test

G. E. Dewey, one of the directors
OF the Kenosha Industrial Association,
has received a communication from the
johnson Brothers Company at Terre
Haute, Ind, manufacturers of marine
and aviation motors, which indicates
that the Indiana company is consider
ing the location of the plant of the
company in Kenosha.
j. w. Sackrider of Racine has taken
up the matter with the officials of the
Kenosha. association and it is said that
the Terre Haute company is very well
pleased with the offerings Of Kenosha
as a manufacturing center. AS yet no
proposition has been made to the com
pany and the company has not made
any definite advances to the city Of
Kenosha. The company has been in
business for many years in the manu-
facture of electric motors and within
the past year it has gone into the man
ufacture of airships. Louis johnson,
one of the three brothers in the com
pany is well known to birdmen and
the monoplane which he has completed
this year is declared to be one of the
best machines of the kind made in the
country. 1t was given its trial flight
on Oct. 14th of this year and the fight
was a complete success. 1t is claimed
that the monoplane has many points
of superiority over all the machines
now on the market and it will be one
of the chief products of the company.
At the present time the company
employs in the neighborhood of a
hundred men and with the manufacture
of airships it is thought that the num-
Der of men will be largely increased.
The company has also profitable field
of manufacture in the production of
motors for motor boats and for auto
mobiles and it has a number of bic
contracts. The main reason for the
company deserving Terre Haute is that
it is the desire of the company to get
nearer to the central market in Chi
cago. The company was first attract
ed to Kenosha by the Thomas B. JEFF.
ferry Company.
Gas yet we have no proposition, s."
said Mr.. Dewey, "but the company ap-
pears to be one that it would be profit
able to look up. The association will
soon be ready to take up the active
promotion of a new factory for the city
and the johnson plant is certain to be
one of the number to be considered. "

MUST PAY AT S1.20 RATE.
City Attorney Files Opinion on Elk
change st, Assessment for Sewers

change st. Assessment Tor Sewers.
City Attorney Calvin Stewart this
morning filed with the city clenk an
opinion in regard to the sewer assess
ments to be made against property on
Exchange street between Eagle street
and Park Row and the people on that
street will be forced to pay for their
drains at rate of $1.20 per lineal foot.
The attorney holds that in keeping
with the ordinance providing for the
sewer district GA" there can be no
doubt but that this property must be
assessed at rate of $1.20 Further
he holds that an examination of the
records shows that this is no dis
elimination as all property on the
street and on other streets since the
passage of the ordinance has been
charged at the same rate. It is prob
able that the assessments viii be paid
by the people of Exchange street with
out further contest.

R. Fl. Welles, Promoter of
Auto Bus Cars Here, Prom
ises Early Operation
ROUTES NOT YET SELECTED

Richard III. Welles at the head of
the company which is planning to in
stall auto buses for the use of the
people of Kenosha, announced on Wed
nesday evening that the company ex-
pected to have the new street transpor-
tation lines ready for service by the
first OF next month. The big automo-
biles that are to be used on the streets
of Kenosha are now being finished in
a Chicago factory and it is said that
they will be ready for shipment to
Kenosha within the next three or four
weeks.
The success of the business is some
thing of problem said Mr.. Welles,
Fand it is impossible for us to say at
this time just how many of the au-
tomobiles will be put into service in
Kenosha. We believe that there is a
demand for service which will sup
plement fthe street railway service and
we know that the automobile service
has proved decidedly popular one in
other cities and can see no reason why
the people of Kenosha should not find
it convenience. For the start we
will have two automobiles in Keno
sha and others will be put into service
if the business demands it. Many
routes have been suggested that this
part Of the program will have to be
worked out after the automobiles have
been started"
It is certain that one of the routes
to be followed will be from the Borup
Hotel to the extreme west limits of the
city on Prairie avenue and it is prob
able that the other route will be from
the Northwestern station to the extreme
south limits Of the city on Durkee
avenue. The automobiles will run over
regular routes but an effort will be
made to touch as many streets as pos
sible with a view of making them use
full to the greatest number of people.
The automobiles to be used in Ke-
nosha will be of the very latest pattern
and it is declared that they will be
built especially to take care of the
winter traffic and that they can be kept
in operation regardless of storms or
snow banks.
It is declared that when the routes
are worked out that the company will
plan to give just as frequent service
as is given by the Kenosha Electric
Railway Company. kenosha people
seem to have taken kindly to the sug-
gestion and they are anxiously await
ing the time when the cars shall be put
in actual operation.

POLITICAL POT Dolls AGAIN
Mayor Scholey's Candidacy Not Be
ing Received With Unanimous Sup
port That Friends Had Hoped for
Earlier i'll the Year.

Interest in the minor city offices in
connection with the municipal cam
paign of 1912 has begun to crop out
and it is announced today that an eff
fort will be made to make Henry B.
Kotz, formerly assistant cashier of the
Merchants and Savings Bank and now
a real estate agent, city treasurer Of
the city as the candidate of the Demo
cratic party. Mr.. Kotz has not as yet
formally announced himself as can
didate for the Office, but his friends
are already strongly urging his candi-
dacy. Martin Steinmetz, the present
city treasurer, who has been unopposed
in his party during the past two cam
paigns has announced that ne will be
a candidate for reelection. With pos
sibilities for a contest for minor places
on the ticket it is beginning to look
as if the municipal campaign would
bring real political struggle.
1t is now declared that former mayor
James German will be in the field as a
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
tion Of mayor. The former mayor has
been confined to his home for some
days as result of a minor operation,
but it is declared that within a short
time he will formally announce his can
d1dacy and that he will come ont with
a platform that will attack the Seholey
administration and that the struggle
between the HEREDITARY foes will be
started at once and continued to the
bitter end. 1t is admitted that the
mayor is not nearly as strong as he
was two years ago. Saloon manage
ment in the city has caused him to lose
some of his staunchest supporters
among the saloon men and these men
are declaring that the Office of mayor
has not been any drawback to the
mayor in his business. Just how wide
this dissatisfaction is remains to be
seen James w. Rose, who is credited
with having some political influence
among the foreign voters, has declared
open war on the mayor and promises
to get very busy in an effort to de-
feat him for the nomination. 1t is
said that in former campaigns the
mayor has had Rose as one of his best
supporters. It is said that there are
some old sores in the fifth ward that
will not heal and that the mayor is to
lave hot opposition in his own BALI
wick
Some of the people seem to think
that the mayor lis toe grasping AMI the
fact that he is now member of the
assembly and has been announced as
candidate for congress is not in any
way helping his campaign for re-
election.
Then the northside is clamoriag for
recognition. The Democrats in that
part of the city are declaring that they
have remained true to the party for
years without proper recognition and
that the time has come when they
should have one of their own men in
the mayors office.
1t is possible that the mayor will
be able to throw salve enough to heal
all of these sores and lineup all of the
factions, but if he is he will have to
go some. The mayor has begun active
campaigning evidently realizing that
there. is real opposition to his candi-
dacY this wear.

DREAM SAVES TRAIN WRECK
Texas Section Foreman Gets UP in the
Night and Finds Broken
Rail.

Galveston, Tex.-Had not M. C. Mi
chaelis, section foreman on the Cane
Belt branch Of the Santa Fe railroad,
been warned by dream a passenger
train would have plunged into ditch
near the Bernard river. Michaelis
dreamed there was a broken, rail at a
certain point, and was SO impressed,
having had the experience before, that
he could not sleep. Getting up, he
went to the spot and found broken
rail in such a position that it would
have wrecked a passenger train, due
In less than an hour.
The section gang had been over
that part of the road the day before;
the rail was then intact. When Mi
chaelis got up and told his men where
he was going they laughed at him, but
he insisted, and, taking a hand car,
rode over mile to the broken rail. He
signaled the train. On two or three
other occasions he dreamed of things
which proved true. Less than month
ago he dreamed of a broken rail, but
did not get up to investigate. He
feared he was becoming a victim of
dreams and would not lose any more
sleep. The next morning, however,
he found the broken rail. He is now
suffering from a nervous strain, and
says he fears his dreams will keep
him travelling all night, for he must al
rays answer them hereafter.

One Of them came to our house the

1t in half an hour, but instead Of that
he insisted upon taking 1t home. He

it was secret which he didn't wish

IN LATE WINTER
AND EARLY SPRING
We seldom feel JUST RIGHT

At such a time KASPARlLA is the best and
Iafest Blood Purifier, the most successful
prescription for spring humors and such
disorders of the blood as boils, pimples,
pust,fqes, blotches, sores and cutaneous
eruptions. Kasparilla is admitted to be
the best remedy for that lack or energy
and the peculiar debility so prevalent
during the close of winter and the opening
of spring. For arrangements of the di.
gestive organs it is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali.
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthy activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, tc
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation Of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
bre6th, irregularities of the bowels, con.
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond.
ency due to inactivity of the liver
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t IS a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.

sMlTEs A WoULD-BE KIssER.
An lmpetuous Lover Is Given the

WelI-Boxed Pair Of

st. Louis, Mo.--An impetuous lover
who essayed to hug and kiss pretty

nal In the form of well-boxed pair of
ears early the other day. Frightened
by the girls screams and her plucky
determination to defend herself, the

The girls annoyer, who aspired to
the dignity of lover without the for
mality of an Introduction, was smit-

car ride of but three blocks. The op-
orator had been excused from duty at
1880 p. M, and was on her way to
her home.
A well-dressed young man-sans
overcoat-boarded the car. The girl
says she noticed that he stared very
hard at her, and when she arose to get
off he preceded her to the back plat.
form. While waiting for the car to
stop, she declares the man fairly
stared her out of countenance from
the lower car step.
"He ran ahead" she said, "and for
got the incident. 1t was raining hard
and / was concerned about my pic
