Mr.. W c. Buckner. the col

Dixie Concert Company. which is
soon to appear in this city. is
the SON of a man born in slavery
HIS father was owned by a Ken

Although entrusted with the care
Of property, with large sums OF
money. and with the family of
his white master this negro wa

his frugallty and hard work was
able to amass small fortune
This he used i'll the education of

apologize to that gentleman, and
his Roberts county friends. The
speech was given in answer to
the one delivered. here, some time

Blind Pigs And Saloons.
(Published by REQUEST

i
1t has been said that if there
are no legalized saloons i'm a
town there will be ''blind pigs"
IN their place. This statement.
fails to take into account the
TACT that there are always more
blind pigs in Wet towns than in
dry. Chicago, with over 1000
saloons, has 5000 blind pigs; De
troit, Michigan, with l 500 sa-
looms, has over 300 blind pigs;
and New York has over 5000
blind pigs. 1t can be shown that
the largest cities in South Oak
ota having saloons have recently
had much trouble from the sale
Of liquor in blind pigs.
But even blind pig i'm town
can not do as much harm as a sa-
loon. First, because the labor
ing man can not get his checks
cashed in a blind pig and then
drink up half his week s earnings
there.
Second The few Illicit sellers
OF liquor do not flaunt electric
signs as do the saloons to entice
the Wayfarer in, nor have they
the open door with it's whisl<ev
fumes to tempt the passer-by.
Third. The blind pig does no
entice the boys with it's sound
OF music and it's show of Iewd
pictures.
Fourth. The blind pig is sus-
pected and watched and hunted
down, while the saloon is rarely
molested unless caught in some
flagrant act of Iawlessness.
If the blind pig exists i'm town
when h te saloons are closed it
does so in spite-pf your protest :;
ii the saloon exists, it does so
with your consent and you are re
sponsible for it's evils. In the
name OF your home, get out of
partnership with the saloon.
Vote "NO' for dry.

they land here and find land
prices ranging from 800 to
$2,400 per acre, and taxes from
$l.00 to $500 per acre, it is such
shock to them to what they
expected to find, that they mon

in the municipal court this morning
when Judge Randall handed down an
order granting separate maintenance

that 800 in the First National Bank

GETS BIG TELEPHONE BILL.
City Of Kenosha Must Pay S699.97 for
Two Years Phone Service.

The city of Kenosha got its tele-
phone bill on Thursday and it was the
largest bill for service ever rendered
by the Kenosha Home Telephone Com
pany The bill asks for the modest
little sum of $69997 and this covers
the city service for the period be-
tween Aug. /, 1910 when the city quit
paying telephone bills pending a fight
IN court up to the first of June. This
IS for service over nine phone stations.
The bill for actual phone service is
So0o.o6 and in addition to this the
company has taxed costs against the
city IN the cases in the circuit and
supreme courts to the amount of
sl94.ll. The company has not made
any demand for interest on the bills.
Following the recent decision of the
supreme court in which it was held
that the city was not entitled to re-
ceive free telephones it is not thought
that the city will make any further
contest against the payments Of the
bill.

MANY PHoNEs ctr or ORDER.
Street PAYERS Pierce Cable on South
st. and Cause Lots of Trouble.

More than two hundred telephone
stations in the down town portion of
the city were out of commission all
day Thursday on account of brsek
in the big cables of the company at
the corner of South and Exchange
street. A careless workman employ
ed by the paving contractors had driv-
en- pick into the cable and when the
rain came the water got into the cable
and put nearly all of the phones in
the down town district out of commits
sion. The construction crew worked
through the rain yesterday and nearly
all night in order to get the service
restored for today. 1t was declared
that all Of the phones were in work
ing order again today. An interesting
point has been brought up and that is
who is to pay for the damage caused
by the phones being out of commits
sion. 1t is probable that the matter
will find its way into the courts Cor

RACINE AN INTRUDER
City to the North Seeks to
Beat Kenosha in SecUr-
ing Line West.
TO CONNECT WITH BURLINGTON

Plans for the building Of an cleo
trio line to connect Racine and Ke-
nosha with Burlington and the lake
districts of the two counties will be
taken up in Milwaukee this evening
when committee of the members of
the Racine Industrial Association will
meet with A. B. Stearns, the assistant
general manager of the railway com
pany The Kenosha Industrial Asso-
citation is planning to have a repre-
sentative at the meeting with a view
to seeing that the claims Of Kenosha
are properly presented to the railway
company. The Racine association is
working along the same plans as the
jkenosha association only it is seeking
to make Racine terminal for a line
which will tap the lake regions of Ra-
cine and Kenosha counties and take
the people into Racine by way of Burl-
ington. This proposed line would be
parallel to the lines of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul line. If such
line should be built without pro-
vision for loop to the Kenosha lakes
and terminal in Kenosha it is feared
that it would seriously interfere with
plans of Kenosha people to get the
Milwaukee company to build line to
the western end of this county It is
possible that Racine and Kenosha as
sociations may be able to unite on a
plan which will be of advantage to
both Of the cities. Burlington has
already worked out plans for a line
from Burlington to Lake Geneva and
connecting there with a line which will
run to the lakes in Kenosha county
and then east to the limits Of Ke-
nosha. The plans for this line have
been presented to the company in an
informal manner and they are said to
take kindly to them, provided it can
be shown that there will be sufficient
business in the territory to warrant
the expenditure necessary for the
building of the lines. Local people
who have sought the line to the west
will be greatly interested in the de-
velopments of the meeting this
evening.
