GALLOWAY GETS CONTRACT.
Racine Man to Build Outlet for the Big
Trunk Sewer Now Under Way.

Peter B. Galloway of Racine, has
been awarded the sub contract for the
building of the outlet for the new trunk
sewer by the Cleary, White, Newman
company and he will start work on it
at once. The general contractors are
anxious to have the outlet completed
just as soon as possible in order that
the work of laying the main sewer may
proceed without further interruption.
superintendent Green is now getting
his big digging machines set up and
he plans to put them TO work just as
soon as the trench is completed as far
west as the west line of Durkee avenue
Green is getting up his tool shanty on
Exchange street and he thinks that he
will have the sewer moving along in
good shape within the next two weeks
The problem of taking care of the
water now in the creek is one that
must be solved and the city engineer
has insisted that the contractors make
provision to care for the water to pre-
vent any flooding Of territory along the
route of the sewer.

Governor McGOvern affixed his sigma
ture to the bill regulating the manu-
facture Of powder in Wisconsin Thurs
day morning and the bill became law
by publication in the afternoon. The
measure is believed by the legal ad-
visors of the governor and by the exc
cutive himself to be constitutional, but
in case the constitutionality OF the law
is challenged it is believed that the
way can be cleared for test Of the
law in the courts. The Wisconsin law
as it now stands is the most stringent
measure for the regulation of the man
ufacture and the storage of explosives
now in force in any of the states and
the workings Of the law will be closely
watched by all Of the states in which
plants for the manufacture OF explo-
sives Of all descriptions are located.
The bill went through the legislature
practically as it was drawn by Attor-
new A. e. Buckmaster who represent
ed the Kenosha County Board of Sup
ervisors and its strict enforcement
should quiet the fears of the people of
the county. The inspection of plants
monthly by the chairmen of the towns
in which the plants are located-to
which clause considerable opposition de-
veloped in the hearings on the bill
is left optional with those officials and
it is unlikely that many of the chair
men will regard the inspections as part
of the official duties. AS a matter OF
fact the inspections by town chairmen
could do little or nothing to safeguard
the manufacture of explosives. 1t is
not likely that they can give the ex-
perts in charge of the plants any val
liable pointers on the proper precau-
tions to take in their business.

If Kenosha is to take precautions to
prevent accidents and possibly deaths
in the celebration of the Fourth of
July the orders to that effect should
be issued now before the dealers in
fireworks purchase their supplies for
the day and before their stocks are
brought to the city If the dealers are
warned in time they should have no
dangerous fireworks on hand and there
will be no incentive for them to violate
the regulations laid down for a safe
and sane Fourth. On the other hand
if they are permitted to load up with
a big supply of the explosives which
are put under the ban later and are
facing heavy financial loss in conse-
quence, the temptation to take a
chance and dispose of the explosives to
any one who will take them off their
hands in violation of the regulations
will be almost irresistible. The safe
and sane celebrations held in other
cities have demonstrated that it is DOS
sible to get through the day without a
single accident and if Kenosha is to be
numbered with the more advanced
municipalities in this movement it is
time that something was done.

HENRY M|TCHELLDE
Well Known Manufacturer
ofRacineDied VerySudden-
ly Wednesday Morning
WAS A P| 0NEER OF kENOSHA

Henry G.. Mitchell, one of the best
known of the manufacturers of Racine
and pioneer resident of Kenosha,
died very suddenly at his home in Ra-
| cine on Wednesday. Death came as. a
result of an attack of neuralgia of the
heart. On Decoration day Mr.. Mitchell
had spent the day on the links of the
Racine Golf club and had won the
trophy offered for the day. He seemed
to be in excellent health when he re-
turned to his home in the evening and
retired for the night. Just after mid
night he was taken with the attack of
heart failure and he died short time
after medical aid had been called to
the bed side,
The funeral will be held from the
late residence at two o'clock Friday
afternoon and many Kenosha people
will go to Racine to pay last tribute
4 to the we'll known manufacturer.
/ Henry ". aMlbcu6Il udu U6en closely
allied with the business interests in this
section of the state for more than forty
years. He was a son of the late Henry
Mitchell who was a pioneer wagon
maker of Kenosha and he was born in
this city March 26, 1S4S. At that time
his father was associated with the late
Edward Balm in the wagon making
business in Kenosha. While the son
was very young his father sold out his
interest In the Balm Wagon Works ard
removed TO Racine. There the son grew
to manhood and after attaining his ma
jority he joined with his father in the
manufacture of wagons. He was fol-
many years the superintendent of the
aplant of the Mitchell Wagon company
but when this was merged with the
/ Lewis company and became the Nit
ehell- Lewis company Mr.. Mitchell be
came vice president and a director OF
the big institution.

The sentiment in favor of the es-
Establishment of a park commission is
growing all over the city and more of
the aldermen are giving the idea more
serious consideration than ever before,
seeing in the commission a way out of
many Of the troubles that now beset
the council. 1t is admitted that the
commission plan would curtail the pow
ers of the aldermen somewhat, but not
to any alarming extent and it would
certainly be a change for the better
to those members of the council who
arc not "in'' ON the distribution of
patronage through the street depart
ment and who have no desire to be.
The ordinance presented to the Keno
sha council is modelled on those which
have worked we'll in other cities in
the state and it should be dug up from
whatever pigeon hole it is now repos-
ing in and some action taken on it..
Then the people who favor a park COM
mission-there are quite number of
them already and the number is in
creasing every day-will know exact
ly where they stand with the council
as at present composed.

MISS WILLIAMS A BRIDE.
Well Known Kenosha Young Lady
WEEDS Charles M. LaRoux.

One of the prettiest home weddings
of the opening summer season in Keno
sha took place this afternoon when
Miss Mabel f. Williams, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Williams was
united in marriage to Charles M. La
Roux of Kansas City, Mo. The cere-
mony took place at the Williams home
on Garden street, the wedding service
being read by the Rev. E. T. Farrill,
pastor of the First Congregational
church. The home was beautifully dec
Grated in white and green, white car
nations being used in profusion. The
attendants were Miss Louise Hopf and
Joseph Gaffney. The guests at the we'd
ding included only the members of the
two families and few dear friends
After the ceremony a wedding luncheon
was served at which covers were laid
for twenty guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. LaRoux will make their
home at 1850 Linwood Boulevard, Kan
sas City, and will be at home to their
friends after the first of July. Mr.. La
Roux is the manager of the Thomas B.

known to Kenosha people and they will
have the best wishes of a large circle
of friends.

That old Spanish. swindle has taken
new lease of life and the supply of
suckers who fall for it must be prao-

been able to maintain a most elaborate
and expensive system for fleeing its
victims in two continents for upwards
of twenty years. 1t has the buried
treasure scheme, estates held in chanc-

credit to the secret service department
of this country and those of foreign
governments that this gang has not
been put out of business long ago.

The health officers all over the
country are issuing bulletins of warn
ing to people planning their summer
vacations on the dangers attendant ,on
visiting summer resorts where the
buildings are poorly screened, where the
water supply is an unknown quantity
or of doubtful purity and where the
methods for the disposal Of garbage are
primitive There is no doubt but that
many of the typhoid and intestinal
disease cases which develop in the fall
in all large cities are picked up in un-
sanitary resorts on vacation trips.
City people become so accustomed to
being looked after by the health de-
partment that it never occurs to many
of them to inquire whether or not there
is any proper supervision of food sup
plies, water, and garbage disposal in
the resorts they visit during the sum
mer months when this supervision is
most needed. They take chances either
knowingly or unknowingly and some
of them pay dearly for their careless
ness. Of course these warnings are
needed by very few Kenosha people.
Most of them are content to stay at
home in one of the finest summer re-
sorts in the country during the heated
term, but those who do contemplate
vacation trips to other less favored
localities would do well to tuck the
warnings of the health bulletins away
in corner of their minds somewhere
for use on their travels.

Whatever is the matter with business
and most business men and manufactur-
ers agree that the volume of trade is
not as great as it should be, is not
due to any falling off in the crops.
The figures now being sent out by the
census bureau show record breaking
production in 1909 and the crop con
ditions as shown by the reports of the
agricultural departments of all states
were never more favorable than they
are at present. The causes of any de-
preston must be sought for elsewhere
than in the crop statistics.
