Chief Of Police O'Hare took the

him for speeding. "Banish such a

TO TALK OVER SEWER.
Property Owners Along River to Meet
at the Council Chamber Tonight.

The question of the building of a
sewer to clean the Kenosha river and
provide an outlet for the north side
trunk sewer will probably be settled
at a meeting of all the property own
ers interested which is to be held at
the council chamber at the city hail
this evening. The city engineer and
city attorney have served formal notice
on all of the forty property owners to
attend he meeting and the full plans
for the ling of the sewer will b.
submitted 80 them at that time. The
meeting is called with a view of aiding
the officials in securing easements for
the right of way for the sewer. The
question of the easements has been
taken up with number of the prop
erty owners, but there seems to be a
misunderstanding of the plan of the
city and most of the property owners
have declined to sign them 1t is ex-
pected that at the meeting this even
ing many of the easements will be
signed and this will pave the way for
the council to proceed with condemna-
tion proceedings against such property
owners as may seek to block the course
of the sewer.

WON GREAT APPLAUSE.
st. Louis K. of G. Choral Club Heard
in Concert in Kenosha Tuesday.

The concert of the Knights of
Columbus Choral Club of st. Louis at
the Rhode Opera House Tuesday even
ing was attended by an audience limit
ed to the capacity of the house.
The st. Louis Knights of Columbus
chorus ranks as one of the leading anna
teur musical organizations in America.
Singing without accompaniment, the
effect of the chorus was striking. The
volume was greater than that of most
male choruses because of the superior
strength of the voices in the lower
range.
Dudley Buck s "On the Sea-" the
opening number of the chorus, and
"The Christian Martyrs" by L. de
Rifle, were the strongest numbers on
the program. The dramatic effects in
the later number were well produced.
Other numbers by the chorus were
"Hymn Of Veery," Frank Seymour
Hastings; ga Cavalier Song" Homer
B. Hatch; "Song of Death,' Johann
Bach; "The Banks of Allen Water, -
G. E. Horn.
The chorus was under the direction
of William Theodore Diebels. His
control was excellent, the voices re-
spending perfectly to him.
Assisting the chorus as soloists were
Walter T. Essman, tenor; James T.
McAnulty, tenor; Victor L. Shevlin,
tenor; Andrew G. Ksletta, baritone;
William F, Nuelle, basso.

With the primary election just three
weeks away there has been no mad
rush among candidates for nomination
to put campaign funds in circulation
and thus far in the campaign, if the
reports fled with the county clerk are
to be taken as authentic, less than 5000
has been put into circulation by aspir-
ing candidates in Kenosha county. In
fact the total amount of the expense
accounts filed by candidates to date
amounts to but $3.50. It is probable
that after the next filing date for ex-
pense accounts the amount will show
a jump, but it is certain that the pres
ent county campaign will go down in
to history as one carried on along
economical lines.
From the expense accounts so far
filed Andrew F. Stahl is the prize
spender, his total being $45. He could
expend twenty times this amount with
out exceeding the amount permitted by
the law. B. NJ. DeDeimar, candidate
for the democratic nomination for
clerk of the circuit court, has expend-
ed $37. John F. Langan, candidate for
the democratic nomination for register
of deeds So. John f. Schmitt, who
would run on the democratic ticket for
county treasurer the same amount.
Thomas S. Scott has put $15 into his
campaign for the republican nomina-
tion for sheriff and County Clerk Rus
sell H. Jones has expended the same
amount in his candidacy for county
clerk. George M. Melville, seeking the
democratic nomination for county
treasurer is out $500 already. The ex-
pense accounts will be fled again a
week from next Saturday and on the
Saturday before the primary election.
Candidates see the necessity of adj
vertising. Out in the county it is de-
clared that the voters are taking lot

Wider use Of school grounds was the
4ture of the meeting Of the board Of
education at the city hall on Tuesday
evening and a movement was started
which may result in securing suit
able site for an open air school and
at the same time provide a place for
the laying out of recreation grounds
for the children of the city. The pa
thetic spectacle of a lot Of little chill
dren in Kenosha weakened in constitu-
tion and liable to be denied school
privileges under conditions which might
aid them in bringing back the glow of
health to their cheeks, appeals might
lily to the members of the board and
every possible effort is being made to
secure a site and erect an open air
school. The board has a site consist
ing of three lots on Jenne street offered
to it, but the members have considered
another plan. Efforts are now being
made to secure options on a tract of
several acres of land somewhere near
the limits of the city which may be
used not only as site for an open
air school but which will afford a
chance for the extension of activities
along wider used lines.
The board has small fund to be
used in the employment of an expert
to have charge of a play ground and
the recreation movement and it is
thought that if site properly located
could be secured it could be made a
site for the open air school and at the
same time a site for a play grounds in
many seasons of the year.
Of course the board has not large
sum of money to expend along this
line, but it is thought that with care
full management the fund available
could be stretched out so as to make
possible modest start in the recrea-
tion movement and the construction of
ia permanent open air school. -Four APP
plications have been received by the
board for men who desire to have
charge of the recreation work in Keno

erty and it is probable that special
meeting of the board will be called
later in the month to act on the report
of this committee. The members of
the board seem to be of the opinion
that it would be impossible for them
to lose anything in buying tract of
land at the limits of the city, as
should the recreation plan prove fail.
ure the land could be used advanta-
geously as site for a grade school

BALLOT is LARGER.
Only Four Parties to Have Candidates
Named on Primary Ballot This Year.

Named on Primary Ballot This Year.
County Clerk Russell H. Jones today
received the final copy of the primary
ballot to be voted at the coming pri-
mary election of September LIST, and
the ballot this year will be larger
than in former state wide primaries.
There will be four parties represented
on the ballot, as this year no "Inde-
pendent ssG e8r-
tilted to the seel gar.y Of seats The
individual ballots Of the different par
ties will be little longer than before
on account of the large number of can
didates seeking nominations. The first
page will carry the list of democratic
candidates, the second the prohibition
candidates, the third the republicans
and the fourth the social democrats.
The enactment of the non-partisan law
has resulted in the disintegration of the
other parties formerly on the primary
ballot and these organizations will
have no place on the ballot. Not a
single "Bull Moose" candidate has
been named in the state for state,
congressional, legislative or county
nomination. Samples Of the primary
ballot will be in the hands of the can
didates for nominations within the next
ten days.
The regular supply of ballots to be
used at the primary cannot be printed
until a few days before the election
as candidates will have until that time
to withdraw their names from the pri
mary ticket.

NO NEWS OF THE WAR.
Letters From Miss Marie Heating Sent
From Rome Show No Anxiety.

That people in Kenosha have worried
more over the war in Europe than Ke-
nosha people who are touring in neu-
trail countries of the continent is shown
by letters received on Tuesday from
Miss Marie Heating, well known teach
er in the city schools, who has been
abroad for the past two months. Miss
Heating is now in Rome bringing her
tour of Italy to close. In her letters
she shows no signs of anxiety over
the breaking out of the war in Europe.
The letters of Miss Heating were sent
some time ago, and probably by this
time conditions have become more
acute. However, kilograms received
from the managers of the tour which
was taken by Miss Heating and sew
eral other teachers from Kenosha, state
that there will be no change in plans
for the tour and that the teachers viii
leave for home the last week in August
as had been planned when they went

The spirit of public improvement has

years the property owners have started
a petition for permanent paving Of

G. Simmons is the owner Of large
amount of the property on the Island
and he has assured the property owners
that he viii not sex leid up any

paving Of the street to a width Of
thirty-four feet, but this may be chang

property owners that narrower street
would be sufficient. Good roads on
the Island would result in it being
made one of the most attractive spots
in the cite and it now seems certain
that the improvements will be made
early in the paving season of 1915.
