MARTIN QUITS BUSINESS.
Pioneer in Garbage Collection in Keno
sha Sells Out to Matthias Brockhaus

L. F. Martin, the pioneer garbage
collector of Kenosha, has quit the bust
ness as announcement was made this
morning that he had sold his interest in
the Kenosha Sanitary Garbage Co. to
Matthias j. Broekhaus, who has been
connected with the company for some
time. Martin started in business in Ke-
nosha mere than twelve years ago and
was the first of the garbage collectors
to adopt modern methods in handling
the business. He plans to take a long
rest after which he will probably en-
gage in some other line of business in
the city. The new proprietor of the
company will take over all the business
today and win continue to make the
usual collections.

North Western Ry. Co. Asks
City For Encouragement
of Its Switch Tracks.
ELEVATION TO COME LATER

The Northwestern Railway Company
took the first formal action relating to
the re-arrangement of tracks in Keno
sha on Monday afternoon when attor-
neys Of the company filed with the city
clerk a formal application for the pas
sage OF an ordinance providing for a
change in route and change in grade
of certain switch tracks in the first,
fourth, fifth and seventh wards Of the
city The ordinance is not very en-
Tightening and it does not make known
the general plan of the company. Ele-
walton of tracks is limited at in the
new grades sought by the company and
it is understood that elevation Of all
tracks on the main line and the depres-
sion of some of the switch tracks in
Kenosha is the ultimate aim Of the
company. For the present the company
is seeking the right of way for
the change in the so-called industrial
tracks running into the down town fac
tory districts. 1t is proposed to start
the new switch tracks at point near
Hanson street and they will cross
Orange, Oak, Middle, Pine, Cedar, York.
Rock, Congress and Grand avenue. The
company plans to bring this track down
to- .connect with the regular switch
tracks on Pearl street and from this
point it is proposed to run the tracks
east along the dock lines.
The original plan had been to run
the switch about the dock lines from
Grand avenue, but tins was blocked by
the refusal to give a right Of
way. 1t is now proposed to run the
tracks to the west of Ashland avenue
and the company has already secured
many options on property in the terri
tory sto be touched by the new tracks.
The ordinance will not formally go to
the council until the meeting to be held
on next Monday evening and it is pos
sible that by that time the company
will have other ordinances ready which
will show more clearly the plans of the
company in rebuilding the tracks in
Kenosha.
The problem of elevation has been
under consideration ever since Mayor
Head went into office and he is of the
opinion that the company will event
ually accept his suggested plans and
elevate nearly all Of the tracks in the
city. The company has also sought op-
tions to provide for elevation. There
has been an indefniteness in regard
to the whole plan which it is expected
win now be explained and the company
will formally come into the open with
an announcement of ali pans
One of the plans to be provided for
in the ordinance now sought by the
company is the elimination of the grade
crossing south of the Main street
bridge and incidentally this will make
possible the Strengthening of the street.
Mayor Head has been working with the
engineers of the company and it is
thought that a plan has now been work
ed out which vii make the change pos
sible. So many pieces Of land have
been sought BY the company in connec-
ton with the change of tracks that it.
has been impossible for the property
owners to figure out just what the com
pany has planned to do. 1t is declar-
ed, however, that the plans of the com
pany are for great improvement of all
classes of traffic in the city.

trust In the hands of NJ. P. Sehmitz,
the executor. He is directed to con
vert the estate into money and as soon
as possible purchase a tract of land,
not to exceed ten acres, and located
within two miles of the limits of the
lefty of Kenosha Within FIVE years he
| is expected to turn this over to the
franciscan Sisters, a Roman Catholic
order at st. Louis, Mo. The land is to
be used as a site for a hospital to be
erected for the care of the sick regard
less of race or creed. All the residue
of the estate is to be turned over to
the Sisterhood on their agreement to
maintain the hospital In case the offer
is declined by the Sisterhood the will
directs that any other Catholic organi-
zation, organized for similar purposes,
may accept the proposition and build
the hospital and in case no other or
ganization is found the property is to
be decided in fee simple to the city of
Kenosha and the residue of the estate
turned over to the common council.

During the latter years of her life
Miss Kaiser was patient at st. Marys
hospital in Racine and it was her idea
to have a hospital built for Keno8ha
similar to this Institution maintained
by the Franciscan Sisters. The mem
bers of the order have for some time
considered the advisability of opening
hospital in Kenosha and it is thought
probable that they viii accept the
terms of the will.
There is little known as to the exact
value of the estate left by Miss Kaiser.
She was known as a woman of acute
business ability. She had farm of
forty acres of land in the town of Bris.
toll and real estate in Kenosha and in
addition to this a considerable amount
of mortgages. 1t is thought that the
net value of the estate is in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
M. P. Schmitz, who is named as exc
cutor of the estate, was unaware of the
provisions Of the will or the trust i'm
posed upon him until he was informed
of them by Judge Taylor this morning.
Waukegan is to have a license cleo
tion this year and with the women
voting the dry forces are very hopeful
that the saloons will be voted out of
Waukegan.

Association Big Success

Several hundred persons visited
the fifth annual flower show in the
Young block Saturday evening and
pronounced the exhibition the best
ever given under the auspices of the
Civic improvement association.
The spacious store room was trans
formed into a bower of beauty. Flow
ers in great variety were artistically
placed about the room, eliciting elo-
quent words of praise. Delay in plac-
ing exhibits delayed the opening of
the flower show until o'clock in the
afternoon. At 9 o'clock in the eve
ming the task Of auctioning off the
flowers started and James M. Bowes
quickly disposed of the collection Of
fered, which included about every
flower grown in the Northwest.
After the auction the floor was
cleared and an informal dance was
enjoyed until nearly midnight.

"The daily papers are joking" said
Mr.. Wilson. "They don't believe this

continued. "In portions of Missouri

SHOCKING DISASTER;
SIX PERSONS DROWNED
Community Is Shocked at Fatal Termination of
a Fishing Excursion Over GrayS Harbor
Bar Last Sunday

The community of Grays HarbOr
was shocked Sunday evening as new
err before by the announcement of
the death of six residents of Aber-
deem by drowning while on an eX-
cursion to the North jetty. The
drowned were: Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward Miller, employed at the Ideal
bakery; Mrs. A. r. Barclay. wife of
the proprietor of the Elite Dye
works, and formerly of Hoquiam;
Louis Capelle, owner Of the boat, and
w. H. Tucke, the merchant, all of
Aberdeen; and Charles Beach of Ia
coma. The three survivors are A.
R. Barclay, w. F. See and Gus Byerk,
all of Aberdeen. But one body has
yet been found by the searchers from
the life saving station, that of Ca
pelle.
The disaster is attributable, it is
said, first to bad judgment shown by
Capt. Capelle in taking a fishing par
ty over the bar in a sea that forced
even the new 60-foot Dorothy Hal
bert to turn back; and secondly. to
his attempt to come in at almost
low water directly over the south
jetty ITSELF and under sea conditions
that much much larger boats fear to
come in, even by the channel. For
two years Capt. Capelle has owned
the Sea Bird, which came from Seat
tie, using it as a fishing boat and
taking out parties to troll for salmon,
and danger to the little craft, it is
said by local mariners, has often been
predicted.
The stories of survivors show that
after fishing from high water to low
water, Capt. Capelle at 8 o'clock de-
cided to come in, but delayed until
shortly after $50 o'clock with the
tide only an hour on the food. when
he decided, against the protests of
See, to make the trial. Though a
nearby whaler signalled them to go
back, Capelle rode the launch up to
the jetty, and then, too late, tried to
turn her back and head outward.
The accounts of survivors differ,
but it is certain that, while the little
craft pitched and reared, the pillows
galloped over her, sweeping her pas.

the deckhouse went over when the
