, TIMELY BEE WISDOM.

July is the month for gathering the
frst surplus, whether it be comb or
extracted honey. 1t should be taken
from the colonies not later than the
twentieth of the month, thus keeping
1t separate from the later dark honey
from buckwheat, asters, goldenrod,
etc. The light honey is not only lighter
in color, but more delicate in it's flavor
and brings about cents pound more.
In extracting make certain that about
two-thirds of the cells in the extracting
comb are sealed over to insure ripeness

It's flavor, but also prevents fermenta-

of the largest number OF visitors in the
history of the association Hundreds
of old school boys and girls are com
ing back to attend the Home Coming
and the reunion of the alumni of the
high school will be made the crown
ing feature Of the Home Coming
celebration.
Plans for the banquet provide for
the entertainment Of more than five
hundred former high school boys and
girls. The tables will completely fill
the big Coliseum.
The program will provide for class
reunions in three sections The mem
bers Of classes before 1870 will meet
in Room 2 at the high school on the
morning of the reunion; classes from
20 to IS will meet in Room 4; from SO
to 1900 in Room 6, and the later grad
yates and high-school students will hold
their reunion in the assembly room
The automobile parade is planned for
nine o clock in the morning. 1T is ex-
pected that the Chicago Kenosha So
ciety will come in a special train this
year and that the members of the as

rounding suburbs will reach Kenosha

lem and Selleck avenues. Efforts have
been made to have the company put in
gates, but the suggestion was turned
down by the officials of the company.
An offer to install bell at the Salem
avenue crossing failed to meet with the
sanction of the members of the coun-
Gil. It is probable that the appeal to
the commission will ask for gates at
practically all of the crossings within
the limits of the city.
In the early hours of this morning
the council reached the consideration
of ordinances and the bond ordinances
providing bonds of 100000 for the
new school and 100000 for extensions
of the trunk sewer were passed with
out division of the council
Ordinances for the Improvement of
traffic conditions and prevention of
parking autos on Main street between
South and Pearl streets and on Market
Square from Main to Church street,
were given their first reading.
There was a large amount of routine
business and the meeting was one of
the longest on record.

HOME COMING NOTES.

The Home Coming committee has
contracted with the Flying Valentines,
a troup of six aerial performers, for
outdoor free acts during the week.
This is one of the most spectacular at
fractions ever booked for Kenosha, and
should please everyone.
Fraternal night, the 25th, promises
to be "some night for Kenosha.
Most every fraternal organization will
be represented in the parade with
floats, drill teams, etc. This parade
will break mp with a riot Of clean fun
on Main street. Anything but confetti
and Pillsburys will be allowed.
One Of the prettiest features OF. Home
Coming will be the little girls all dolled
up with their dolls in parade. There
will be seventy-five TO one hundred Of
the little tots, and it should be worth
coming miles to see.
The committee are giving concessions
to nothing but clean and above board
affairs, and are endeavoring to favor
local people so far as possible.
Fire Chief Tsermann he's promised
something sensational for the fire de-
partment run. As long as it isn't your
building that's going to get it, you
should worry.
A great many of the postals being
returned by Home Corners are surely to
the point, with answers of you bet, 2
certainly, 2 and will be pleased. I"
They re coming from every state in
the union.

APPEALS TO FEDERAL OFFICIALS
Health Commissioner Seeks to Stop
Dumping Within Four Mile Limit.

Health Commissioner DR.. John j.
McShane made formal appeal to the
engineers of the war department in
Milwaukee on Monday afternoon to
stop the dumping of refuse taken from
the Kenosha River by the scows Of the
Great Lakes Dredging Company within
four miles Of The sKenosha water in
take. The health commissioners found
that the refuse was being taken out
only about mile and dumped within
a nile of the mouth of the intake. He
at once sent the appeal to Milwaukee
and he was instructed that he had full
power to put a stop to any action
which would in any way pollute the
water supply Of Kenosha. The men in
charge of the dredging work have
shown willingness to meet the de-
mands Of the city, but they hold that
they were entirely within the govern
ment demands when they were dumping
the refuse mile from the beach. It
is possible that the city will be forced
to put on an Inspector to watch the
dumping of the refuse. DR.. McShane
insists that it be carried out at least
four miles from the mouth of the
intake.

NAY CUT LENGTH OF intake
Ira H. Jewell Presents Figures to the
Board Showing Cost of Installation of
Sand Filter When New Plant is Built
on Washington Island.

The possibility of the installation of
a filtration plant to filter al She water
used In the city of Kenosha is being
considered by the members OF the
Water Board in connection with the
Iplans for the construction of the new
intake and it is possible that the filter
will be pus in at the same time that the
intake is built. This possibility is de-
pendent on the cost of the filter and
the intake as compared with the cost
of longer intake than would be neces-
Isary in case the filtration plant is in
lstalled.
The members of the water board
have hello several meetings with Ira II.
Jewell of the Jewell Water Filter Com
Ipany. Jewell has been figuring on the
installation of filter of 100000 gal
Ions daily capacity in Kenosha and he
has submitted figures TO the water
board as to the cost of such filter.
The present plan of the water COM
pany is to extend the intake into the
lake for distance of 10000 feet but
lit il declared that with the installation
of filtration plant one half Of the in
take could be eliminated. The cost of
the filtration plant is placed at 100000
land it is held that the city would be
Iaf'a to save a large proportion of that
amount by reducing the length of the
intake. The members of the water
board refuse to discuss the plan at
length more than to admit that they
have taken some interest in the figures
Of Mr.. Jewell and that they are will
ing to consider the change of plans.
Nothing will be done however until
after bids for the proposed intake
have been opened on June 18th. The
mel bers of the board admit that the
ultimate plan for the perfection of the
Kenosha water supply would include
the installation of slow sand filter
and it is just possible that they will
decide that it will be public economy
to install such filtration plant at
the time the new intake is laid out
into the lake. Many of the difficulties
surrounding the installation of fltra-
tion beds will be surmounted by the
location Of the water plant on Wash
ington Island.
This sort Of filter is being installed
by many companies and it would not
be necessary for the water board to
deal with the Jewell company exclu-
sively 1t is said that this type of fl
ter would be economical to maintain
in Kenosha.
cit is too early to discuss this mat
ter, said one of the members of the
board. "We do not know what the
proposed 10000 foot intake is going to
cost, and until we do know it is useless
for US to speculate on other plans The
estimated cost is $4,000. We know
that the cost would be greatly reduced
by building shorter intake and it is
possible that the filtration plan will
appeal strongly to the people. One
thing is certain and that is that some
time the people of Kenosha will de-
mand filtration of the water in the
city mains. 1t may be foresight for
the city officials to reduce the length
of the intake and provide for fltra-
ton. The cost of installing the filter
beds should be less at this time than
at some future time.'

APPEAL TO A. R. COMMISSION
One Hundred and Seven Applications
For Liquor Licenses Are Received
TO Build New Docks on Washington
Island May Settle Old Sewer Claim.

The members Of the city council had
q busy scrappy time up at the city hall
on. Monday night and it was consider
ably after midnight before an adjourn
ment was taken. Nearly every one Of
the aldermen had his fighting clothes
on and there was no. trouble finding
chips to be knocked off some one IS
shoulder. Going back into history
seemed to be a favorite pastime with
the council members Monday night and
hours were spend discussing matters
which failed to come to a head. The
old question Of the action of the coun-
ell in refusing to accept the plat of the
Symmonds subdivision came up and an
hour was spent discussing it and the
whole matter was referred back to the
city engineer and the city attorney.
Jitney regulation brought bitter ar
gument, but failed Of any results, the
saloon license applications were read
and referred, the council ordered bids
for a big sewer west on Middle street
from the river which is supposed to
pick up the sewage of the west side and
pour it into the river until the inter
cepting sewer is completed, the alder
men discussed electrical inspection, and
voted to appeal to the railroad commits
sion of the state in order to secure bet
ter protection of crossings of the
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric line.
Ordinances providing for the issuance
of 100000 worth of bonds to provide
funds for sewers and the new Collins
street school were passed and an ordi-
nance to prevent the parking Of auto
mobiles on portions of Main street
and Market Square was given it's first
reading. Even the historic old Cleary,
White, Newman company came before
the council when that company asked
for final settlement Of the trunk sew
er account. The matter was referred to
the engineer and the city attorney to
bring in a full report at the next meet
ing of the council.

tect the city against recovery on this
claim. 1t is probable that the council
will vote to pay the company part of
the money held up at the next meeting.
The report of the city treasurer show
ed a balance Of $130,311 in the treas
ury on the first of June. The license
committee refused to grant license
for the opening of a public auction
room in the city on the grounds that
the man who proposed to open the room
was unwilling to pay license which
appeared adequate to the members of
the committee The fire department
committee was instructed to proceed at
once to remodel the second story of the
north side engine house in order to
furnish better sleeping apartments for
the fremen.
To Build New Docks.
The city engineer was instructed to
make plans and specifications and ask
for bids for the construction of new
docks at the foot of Washington street
on Washington Island. The committee
on fire department was instructed to
take up the consideration of the EN-
ployment of an electrical Inspector for
the city and make a report at the next
meeting. 1t was forecasted thai the
plan would not be carried out The
street committee was instructed to open
for traffic the alleys between Charles
and Edward streets just east Of the
Jeffery factory.
The council by an overwhelming vote
refused to put up signs to warn auto
mobile drivers against violating the
state law in regard to the speed of
auto cars in school zones, but the po-
lice were instructed to enforce the state
law and make arrests of wilful viola
tors of this law

Oppose Jitney Regulation.

Probably the most interesting dis
cussion before the council was the ques-
tion Of jitney regulation. There was an
insistent demand for regulation from
several members of the council and
there was a decided opposition to such
regulation. Most interesting was the
statement of the city attorney who
showed to the council that the city was
losing a considerable amount of money
on account of the reduction of the
business of the Kenosha Electric Rail
way Company. The license of the COM
pany is based on the fares collected.
Last year the company paid the city as
the city's share Of this license close to
$4,000. Tt was declared that the
amount to be paid this year would be
less than half this amount. The men
who opposed regulation of the jitney
bus held that city license would bring
triple taxation on the jitneys. 1t was
held that they paid the state automo-
bile license, and personal property
tax and that the supreme court had held
in a Milwaukee case that third IL
cense could not be imposed. A ma
| iority of the council seemed to favor
regulation and the committee on trans
portation was instructed to bring in a
report Of some kind at the next meet
ing of the council.
Many Seek Saloon Permits.
|
One hundred and seven applications
| for retail liquor dealer s licenses were
received and referred to the license
committee. There is going to be the
usual battles for possession Of places
by the brewing companies and dupli-
cate applications were presented for
| places at 162 Milwaukee avenue, 833
Newell street, 500 Milwaukee avenue,
| 33 North Main street and 308 North
| Chicago street There was an applica-
| tion for ST. Milwaukee avenue and Al
| derman Kisten protested against this
application even being received by the
| council, on the ground that the license
right for this place had been permitted
/ to die when the license was revoked by
the council two years ago. There was
! an application for Henning Petersen
for Edelweis Park and petition for
| the granting of the license from prop
erty owners in the neighborhood. Eff
fcrts were made to extend the saloon
limits in a petition from Mike Molin-
arc asking that the building at the
! corner of Garden and Newell streets be
made a part of the saloon district. a
fight over this has been staged regular
| " before the council for several years.
Cleary, White and Newman, the
scrapping contractors who had charge
of the building of the trunk sewer,
came in with petition asking for the

This amounts to $2,979.34. The com
