dent of the schools, has received from

0LOCOMRADEACTSAsDEsTMAN

The marriage of Mrs. Harriet Tanis
of Chicago and former State Senator
Isaac T. Bishop, which was announced

history. The senator and Mrs. Tanis
were married in their own new home in

formed by the Rev. Charles Geiger, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church, in the

of the Bishop family. The senator was
attended by Henry Lytle as best man.
Mr.. Lytle and Mr.. Bishop had been

err The matron of honor was Mrs. John
G. Cornell Of Somers. The wedding
march was played by Miss Marie Wirtz.

arrived at the home of the senator 70

events in Somers. It is declared that

N0L0AGER POOR MANS LINE"
Company Will Advance Rates so That
They Will be Practically the Same
as Those Charged by Competing
Trains on the North Western.

A modest little note appears in the
window of the local Chicago and Mil
waukee Electric railroad ticket Office
and waiting room on Elizabeth street,
stating that new schedule of rates
for passenger fares is to become effec-
tive, beginning April Is, 1915, and an
nouncing that anyone interested may
consult the table which is on file in
the office. Inquiry reveals the fact
that very few people know that a
change in rates has been contemplated
and therefore no protest has been
made. Whether or not such protest
would avail anything is doubtful for
the railroad company announces that
the public utilities commission has sane
toned the new scheduled of rates.
1t was found that in the majority
OF instances the fare had been increas-
ed from five to ten cents on one-way
ticket. In other words, local people
who go from here to majority Of the
cities and towns along the north shore
will be obliged to pay five or ten cents
more each way than before.
The new rates that will go into effect
on April 18th, bring the passenger
fares on the electric line to a point
practically as high as on the Chicago
and North Western, and the belief pre-
walls among many that those who have
used the electric line because the rate
OF fare was less than on the North
Western, will now do most Of their
travelling on the steam line. It is the
belief of many that the electric line is
weakening its competitive ability by
raising the rates.
Under the new scale those who wish
to purchase twenty-five ride tickets
may do SO on the basis of twenty five
five cent fare tickets for $1.15. In
other words, a saving Of ten cents on
every twenty-five rides. Twenty
ride tickets to other points on the line
are charged for on the same basis.
The new schedule provides that a
charge of twenty-five cents is made for
oN"A a. DACy VIC VI DdOY carriage on
car. Dogs will not be carried unless
muzzled and must be carried on the
front platform. A charge of twenty
i've cents is to be made for each dog.
On limited trains dogs will not be car
ried unless there is special baggage
compartment attached to the train.
Lap dogs will be carried free.
The half-fare rate for children. be-
tween FIVE and twelve remains I'M
changed. Children under five will con-
tinue to ride free.
On the whole the change is one Of
the most drastic made by the electric
line in long time.
The hardest hitting proposition in
the new rate is the increase of FIVE
cents in the fare between Zion CITY
and Kenosha. The fare under the new
rate from Kenosha to various points
as compared with the old rate is as
follows:

SAYS SAFETY MOVE rs GREAT
AID TO WORKERS.

The state industrial commission to-
day issued bulletin on the Wisconsin
movement for industrial safety declar-
ing Milwaukee has done wonders in re-
ducing accidents due to cooperation of
1oremen and men with superintendent.
During 1914, there were 10000 acct
dents and 163 were killed. Lately the
work for safety, however, is making
great reductions on these figures. The
state rate commission today ordered
the Fort Atkinson Water and Tiobt
Company and the Beloit Water. Gas
and Electric Company to readiust and
increase rates for service. The com.
mission ruled despite complains of pat
rons that companies were operating ON
too small margins of profit for safety.

HAS CHARGE OF LONG ROUTE.
Goes to Alaska to Take DOVER one Of
the Most Important Positions In the
wireless Inspection Work of the Gov
ernment.--fEss Tame as Operator.

Edwin s. Lamb of the Kenosha Wire
less Telegraphy school has entered the
government service and he is now on
his way to the Pacific coast to take up
his duties as electrician and wireless OPP
orator with headquarters at Katchican,
Alaska. The new steel supply boat
"Kuki," the largest and finest in the
lighthouse service, has just been trans
ferred to his station. He will have one
of the largest territories in charge of
any electrical inspector of the United
States Government and his duties will
take him along the Pacific coast all the
way from Alaska to San Francisco. The
appointment Of Mr.. Lamb to this i'm
portant post of government work came
as a great surprise even to him as he
had not been an applicant for the posi-
ton, but was selected for the place
by tbs Commissioner of Light Houses
at Washington on account Of the great
proficiency he had shown in wireless
work. He will reach San Francisco on
Friday or Saturday and will at once
start his new duties.
Lamb has been regarded as one of
the best wireless experts developed in
this section of The country in the past
fifteen years. He was graduated from
the Kenosha High School and just at
the time he was leaving school he was
attracted by the new wireless telegra-
ply. He took up the study of wireless
and in short time became an expert.
With his brother, Rea M. Lamb, he
opened the Kenosha School of Wireless
Telegraphy. The school was not one of
the large wireless schools, but the stu
dents turned out from it were so pro-
fcient that the government attention
was at once attracted to the Kenosha
station and from this school MANY of
the best operators now in the govern
ment employ have been graduated. It
is a matter of interest that many of the
great ocean liners now have wire
less operators with diplomas from
the Kenosha school. Mr.. Lamb for
~ 1870 c0uSu1 LII OuG Oh the dig
New York schools, but he showed a
preference for his home town and re-
turned to the school which he had
founded. He has had many offers to 90
into the government service, but he had
declined them on account Of his interest
In the school here. The recent call Of
fered such a great chance For advance
ment that he felt that he could not but
accept the call of the government.
The Kenosha school has been left in
the hands of Rea M. Lamb, who is an
expert as a wireless operator and as a
teacher and he will conduct the school
along the same policies as in the past.
Inspector Lamb up in Alaska will
have charge of a large force Of wireless
operators and it is expected that he will
do much to perfect the government g
wireless systems along the Pacific slope
The development Of a great system %
wireless on this territory was one of the
main reasons of the government for Sc.
lectlng him for this important duty.
