BAPTIsTs TAKE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Sunday School Team of Baptist Church
Defeats st. Matthews in Final Game

The basketball FIVE of. the First Bap-
list Church Sunday school won the
league championship of Kenosha at the
Y. M. G. A. gymnasium on Thursday
night when in one of the hardest
fought games ever seen o9 a local
floor the winners defeated the team of
st. Matthew's Sunday school by a
score of 6 to 5. In the first period of
the game it looked as if the Baptist
boys would have runaway race for
the championship, but in the second
half the st. Matthews boys came back
so strong that the game ended with
the championship won by the narrow
margin of single point. The Bap-
first period and this ended with a
score of 6 to in favor Of the cham
plons. The crowd in the gym was one
of the largest of the year and the root
ers of the rival teams made it impossi-
Bile to hear the referees whistle.
When the St. Matthews team began its
great rush in the second period pan
demonium broke loose. In the last
minutes Of play it looked as if the ST..
Matthews team would certainly tie the
score, but the splendid guarding of the
Baptist saved them from an overtime
contest for the championship.

North-W estern Officials Fl
nally Arrange to Build
Station at Twin Lakes
CAPPELEN A REAL BOOSTER.

Twin Lakes is to have better depot
accommodations the coming season, q
fact that will be gratifying to per-
manent residents about the lakes as
well as to the many city people who
are frequent visitors at the lakes dur
ing the summer season. j. j. Cappelen,
proprietor of the Waldeck, has been
boosting for better depot accommoda-
tions for the last two years and dur
ences with the head officials Of the
company regarding the matter. Not
until last week, however, did he get
any definite statement from them that
the needed improvements would be
made. In company with Messrs. Him
melmann and Pfaffenberger, Mr.. Cap
pelen made trip to the city and laid
the matter before r. H. Ashton, as
sistant general manager Of the North
western. Mr.. Ashton gave Mr.. Cap
pelen very little encouragement at first,
stating that over 100000 in improve
ments that had been promised at Bar
rington, Crystal Lake and other points
along the lines for this summer had
been cancelled and the chances were
not very bright for Twin Lakes secur-
ing any appropriation for improve
ments. Mr.. Cappelen proved that he
was 1ssticker'' however, and the ar
guments he presented were sufficiently
strong to bring promise from the
assistant general manager that the
needed improvements would be looked
after, Mr.. Ashton further stating that
work on the same would be taken up
within the next two weeks. Geo. w.
DAILY, division superintendent, and a
party of engineers are expected at Twin
Lakes the latter part of this week to
make an estimate OF just what i'm
provements are needed. According to
present plans the old depot structure
will be remodelled and increased to
twice its present size and roof will
be erected over the entire platform. A
few other minor improvements will
also be made, the total cost of which
is estimated at about $4,000.

REACHES LEGISLATURE.
Woodman Row Crops Up in Hearing on
Bill to Repeal Adequate Rate Law.

Representatives of the Wisconsin
members of the Modern Woodmen's
Society, who are opposing the increase
in premium rates which has been or
dered by that society, brought up the
Modern Woodmen trouble Thursday af-
ternoon before the assembly commit
tee on banks and insurance. Former
Assemblyman H. C. Culbertson of Stan
ley appeared as attorney for the So
called insurgent members of the Wood
men s society. The bill which they
supported was measure which has
been introduced for the repeal of the
law passed by the legislature of 1907
forbidding any fraternal societies to
be organized or to do business in Wis
consin which do not charge adequate
rates for. their insurance. The idea
of the Woodmen is that the Wisconsin
members who are opposed to an in
crease In rates can organize a separ-
ate society in this state and obtain
their share of the surplus in the society
and maintain an insurance organization
on the former Woodmen s schedule.
The bill was opposed by a large mum
Der of representatives of fraternal or
CARNATIONS doing business in this
state which have gone to an adequate
rate basis. ~ tS..T,<s

The statement that hundreds of tons
of onions, cabbages and potatoes are
scattered around on Wisconsin farms
because the present price is too low
to pay for shipping them doesn't seem
to dovetail very well with complaints
about the high cost of living. Very
likely somewhere a cog has slipped or
broken off. Earlier in the season city
consumers paid very considerable
prices for onions, All on the whole
potatoes have not failed to remunerate
their growers. There have been sea-
sons when farmers who have held back
their market garden stuff have been
left with some of it on their hands at
the time when early vegetables are
coming up from the south. 1t is bet
ter thing for the farmer to sell all he
grows at a fairly remunerative price
than to exact high price for part of
it and lose a market for the remain
der. That involves waste, which is
bad for the farmer, for ne consumer
and for the country.-Evening Wis
consin.

The decision of the Northwestern
Railway Company to postpone for a
year the building Of the big switch
iugSyafds at Berryville which, were to
handle all of the freight for Kenosha
and Racine, viii be a big disappoint-
ment to the anutacturing interests
of the city whose business has been
seriously interfered with by the al
most continual congestion of the
switch yards and tracks of the COM
pany handling the local freight. The
reason for the delay is declared to be
the heavy losses suffered by the com
pany in the recent storms and while
the managers of the factories are in
clined to accept the excuse as good
one, realizing that the company is like
ly to need all Of its available re-
sources to repair damages, they are not
exactly pleased at the prospect of be-
ing obliged to struggle along with the
present inadequate facilities given
them by the company in this city for
another year. The disappointment of
The shippers is all the keener because
they had figured on all of their trou-
bles being over with by fall at
the latest.

Local Automobile Owners
Pass Resolutions Against
Pending Legislation.
STATE SECRETARY A SPEAKER

Fifty of the members Of the Keno
sha Automobile Club met. at the Elks
Club on Wednesday evening for the
first social session held by the club
and it proved to be decidedly inter
esting meeting for the club members.
Harry Apple, secretary Of the Wis
consin State Automobile Association,
was present at the meeting and gave
very interesting talk on legislation
now pending before the legislature at
Madison. He spoke especially Of two
bills against which the automobile
owners ale directing their protests.
The first is the bill which provides for
the licensing of automobiles with the
fees regulated by the horse power Of
the machines. Apple declared that if
this law applied to all vehicles it
would not meet with so much opposi-
tion but he held that fee collected
in this manner would be tax and not
license. The other bill discussed was
the one which provides that no auto
driver may recover from any town
board for injuries if the automobile in
which he was riding has clearance
Of less than ten inches. 1t was held
that this law would practically make
it impossible for people driving auto
mobiles manufactured in this state to
recover from towns as nearly all of
these cars have a clearance of less
than the ten inches named in the law.
1t was further held that this law would
have a tendency to bring carelessness
in the handling of the roads by the
town boards as they would hold that
there was little chance for a success
full court action against the towns fol-
lowing any accident.
Following the address by Mr.. Apple
members Of the club discussed the two
laws at length and a resolution
was unanimously passed protesting
dSdlhob buG peioodSG VI C-GAel VI 1ub
bills in question. Copies Of the reso-
luton will be sent to the members of
the legislature from this county at
once and it is thought that the auto
mobile club will send members off to
Madison to speak against the bills
when they have d hearing before the
committees.
There was an informal discussion of
plans for the coming year The auto
mobile club will have at least thous-
and dollars to contribute toward the
improvement of roads this fall and it
is pretty certain that this money will
be deposited with the town treasurer
of Pleasant Prairie with demand that
the work on South Park avenue be
completed.
After the business meeting Of the
club was over a luncheon was served
and the members enjoyed an informal
smoker at which many topics of in
terest were discussed.
