TAKE PLACE or FLORA M HILL
Steamer to be One of the Largest on
the Lakes and Will Greatly Aid in
IBettering Service Between Kenosha.
Waukegan and Chicago.

A new steamship which will carry
thousand tons may be built within
few months by the Hill Steamship
company, which viii he exclusively
used for the Waukegan and Kenosha
business of the line.
The company will within the next
few weeks increase their capitaliza-
ton from $4,000 to 100000 and as
soon as this was done the work will be
started on the boat.
An interesting feature of the con
struction of this boat, which will be
several times as large as the old
Flora M. Hill is the fact that the boat
will be named the FFlora NJ. Hill II"
This will mean that Kenosha will
have one of the best freighters on the
entire lake for its service, and the
headquarters of the boat will be in
this city. 1t will ply from Chicago to
Waukegan, from Waukegan to Keno,
sha.
This will mean much to Kenosha
merchants, and the service of the Hill
boat line has always been the best and
has been used extensively by local
merchants.
The announcement has been made
through l.. L. Hill, the manager of the
company and he states that work will
be started as soon as possible.
The model and all plans for the boat
have been made and have been submit
ted to the Pierceberg people, who
built the original Flora NJ. Hill. They
are row making their complete plans
and will have them ready to submit to
TIE company within u very shorG time.
TIE steamer probably will be ready
for action by the time the season
opens next year.
The old Flora M. Min was some
time ago wrecked off the harbor of
Chicago and efforts 10 raise the boat
have been of no avail, so she has been
turned over to the government.
The Hill company has greatly pros.
pered during the past few years as is
shown by the contemplated increase
in the capitalization of their com.
pany.~~
It is also probable that with this in.
crease in the stock of the company
that some other improvements will be
made in this city, but this has not
been decided definitely as yet.
The ship that is to be built is one
of the largest on the lakes and will
be without doubt one of the very best.
The plan as present is to have a sec
ton of the vessel for passengers while
the main part of the vessel will be for
freight.
Kenosha people will be pleased to
learn of this proposed ship for this
harbor, as it will mean much for Ke-
nosha.

The Wisconsin Retail Jewellers as
ISOLATION has done well in insisting
that the quality of jewelry and all
gold and silverware should be forced
by law to conform to its stamping. If
what is stamped '18K" is gold of
greater degree of alloy, or not gold at
all, but merely base metal washed
if spoons or forks stamp ed "Sterling"
are not silver, but filled or plated, then
the purchaser is swindled, and when
he finds it out he will have a griev-
ance. If many instances occur of the
sale of rings and other articles falsely
marked, the retail jewellers as class
are sure to suffer by the fraud. No
wonder, therefore, that they desire
law to protect the public and protect
honest dealers at the same time

standing 81 the League..

The terrific rain Of Friday night
played havoc with the schedule of the
Factory League, two of the games Sat
urday being called off on account of
wet grounds. The j. B Jeffery Co. and
Badger Brass Mfg. Co. were the only
teams to play and the Jeffrey Co. prov
cd to be the best mud horses, winning
by score of IA to 9 on the Lake View
diamond.
The infeld was in fair shape, but the
outfeld was lake more than ball
ground and the outfelders needed bath
ing suits and boots instead of spikes
and baseball suits.
The ball was soaked throughout the
game in both senses of the word. In
fact the pitchers were barely able to
stick the ball over and trust to field
ing and luck to get the batsmen out
and they were very lucky when they
were able to even get the ball over.
The scores follow:

SOCIALISTS HAVE BIG MEETING.
Crowd Attends Meeting at the Rhode
and Afterwards Goes TO Big Picnic.


The Socialists held an interesting
meeting at the Rhode Opera House
Sunday morning. A musical program
was rendered by the German Singing
Society. Mrs. Strickland gave two
evolutionary readings.
Mrs. Strickland spoke on "The Re
lation of Socialism to Religion" He
said in part:
Socialism looks upon a person S
faith as his private property, and will
protect him in it's possession and en-
joyment. The religious institutions
will be under the necessity of adapt
ing themselves to the new social or
der, but we leave this task to them. :"
After the opera house meeting yes
terday the local Socialists held an in
formal picnic in the grove south of
Peterson s Park. Base ball, tugs Of
war and races were the amusements.

WATER TASTES F|SHY
Many Complaints Received
on Account of Condition
of the Lake Water.
NO SOLUTION FOR TROUBLES
What's the matter with the water9

What IS the matter with the water?
That's the question that Kenosha
people have been asking each other
for the past week. And it all resulted
and taste Of fish to the lake water It
is not a. case of imagination, local peo-
pie say, taste or smell of the water
will convince anyone. There are times
when the condition is not quite as bad
as at other times, but there have been
few times the last week when the odor
could not be detected very readily.
IT thought it was just my magma
ton that the water smelled like fish, -
said one man, "but after I had emerg-
ed from my bath [ was convinced that
it was reality. My body smelled
like fish for two days" People who
drink the lake water say that the fshy
taste is most unpleasant, it tasting
and smelling exactly like raw fish.
Just why the water should have this
fshy taste at times and not at other
times has never been explained very
satisfactorily.
Some have held it is the presence
of the fish in the lake that gives the
water this taste and smell, while
others, and they are men high up in
their profession, have explained that
the taste and odor comes from a GER
tain kind of weed that grows in the
lake not from the fish themselves.
Why this taste is not noticeable at
times and hardly present at other
times, is not explained.

MET SERIOUS INJURIES.
G. Z. Rover Formerly of Kenosha Ter
ribly Injured in Chicago.

9. E. Rover, formerly of Kenosha,
but now of Chicago, is here for visit
with friends and relatives. Recently
ar. Rover met with terrible accident
ID Chicago and he is just recovering
from the effects of it. He had both of
his hands caught under punch press
and the fingers of both hands were so
mangled as to demand amputation.
Portions of the fingers on the left-hand
We're taken off at the time of the ac-
cident and those of the right hand
have grown SO bent and twisted that
it viii be necessary to have second
operation and have these amputated.
Mr., Rover is hopeful that he will not
lose the entire use of his hands
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1912-07-18

The scientists disagree as to whether
the fshy taste and smell Of the lake
water which has been so much in eVi-
dence for the past few days is due to
the fish themselves or to a peculiar
variety Of weed that has made its
in the lake, but all of the
people who are forced TO, use the
water agree that the condition is very
digagreeable. When the wise men
finally reach an agreement as to what
the. cause of the condition is they may
find a way to correct it

Further reports from the storm of
Friday night indicate that the city
had very narrow escape from being
struck by a regular cyclone. Kenosha
has suffered from some. severe storms
in the past few years, but there has
been nothing approaching the violence
of the storm of Friday night in this
section of the state since cyclone
passed over Kenosha and did great
damage in Racine over twenty years

HITS LIVING COSTS
Recent Rains Put a Crimp
in High Prices Being
Charged for Necessities.
VEGETABLES GOING DOWN

Rain has put a crimp in the upward
boost of living, as was evident today
from the marked drop in the prices of
certain food This agency which has
been active this summer, has done
more to solve the high cost of living
than any other factor.
Porterhouse steak is expected to re-
main a luxury for some time and the
decline in other kinds of meat will not
be noticeable for perhaps several
months.
With the exception of wheat, grain
crops are larger than in several years.
The potato crop is unprecedented,
which has caused a big drop in prices.
Potatoes, which sold to $5.25 barrel
for the corresponding week of last
year, were selling on South Water
street at 1915 a barrel.
Cabbages Cheaper.
Cabbages, which were $3.50 a crate
last year at this time are selling for
ST. to $1.15. Good tomatoes are sell
ing from 40 to 90 cents a crate, less
than one half the price they brought a
year ago. Fine Texas onions are sell
ing from rs cents to 81 for 70-pound
sacks Conditions never were SO IA
vorable for low prices, according to
the wholesale dealers.
The fruit crop is as promising from
| the consumers point of view as vege-
tables and cereals. The peach crop is
the largest in the history Of the coun-
try and the grape crop is far IN excess
of that of last year, which was con-
sidered unusually good.
In Minneapolis new potatoes sold
around SIS cents a bushes, while old
potatoes were selling at Is cents and
even less.
Grain is Plentiful.
Il believe prices have reached the
! high water mark said Fl. E. Rycroft
and Bartlett, Frizier company, ''but |
do not look for an immediate drop in
the meat or cereal lines. The amount
of wheat available for distribution
will be somewhat less than last year,
but all other grains are more plenti-
full. However, it will be necessary to
raise more cattle before we need ex-
pect much lower beef prices
William A. Westberg, secretary Of
the Chicago Potato company, said
while the crop was plentiful it would
be thirty days before there would be
a big break in the price of potatoes
there. He said his frq> was now buy
ing extensively in Virginia at from
So to $2.10 barrel, which means
about $1.15 bushel in this city.
Other dealers look for big falling off
in potatoes in a few days.
