DUNCAN HEADS WESTERN UNION
Richland Center Man is Made Perma-

many in KenoSha.

The offices of the Western Union
Telegraph company in Kenosha went
under new management on Tuesday
when George o. Duncan former mana
ger for the company at Richland Cen
ter came to Kenosha to take charge of
the offices. Many changes have been
made in the makeup of the force and
it is now made up almost entirely of
men sent from the Minneapolis district
of the company. Manager Duncan has
had wide experience as an operator and
a manager. He has been in the en-
ploy of the company for more than
twenty-five years and for the past
fifteen years has given much of his
time to railway work. The company
will make many changes in its offices
in Kenosha during the coming year
with a view of improving the service,

WORK ON REORGANIZATION.
New York Interests it is Declared will
Purchase the Chicago and Mil
waukee on Monday.

George M. Reynolds, president of the
Continental and Commercial National
bank, of Chicago, has returned from
California, to supervise the reorgani
cation Of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric railroad. In his absence the
reorganization committee, of which he
is chairman, has been working on the
readjustment plan in association with
New York interests The company s
property is advertised for sale at pub
lie auction on May l at Waukegan and
Racine. Railroad men and others are at
a loss to know what men of New York
will be on hand when the properties are
sold. 1t has been expected that the
ST. Paul railroad would buy in the
electric line, and there are hundreds
eff men who still believe that the re-
organization committee plans to sell
the properties to that road. The ST.
Paul has no depot or tracks entering
Waukegan or Kenosha, and in buying
the Milwaukee electric properties that
company would then be in position
to compete with the Northwestern rail
road

MUST PUT CITY WIRES DOWN.
Fire Department Committee to Seek
Favors of Public Service
Corporations at Once

The city is forced to meet the prob
blem Of underground wires and meet
ing of the council committee on fire
department has been called for this
evening. The city has wires on Mar
ket, Park and Church streets in the
underground district and under the
terms of the ordinance these as we'll
as all other wires must be put in con-
Quits. For years the city has used the
poles Of other public service corpora
tions and it is expected that the con-
Quits installed by these companies will
be made large enough to accommodate
the wires for the city. The companies
have shown objections to uniting with
other companies in the conduit system,
but it is thought that they will make
an exception of this rule FOR the city.
If the city was forced to put in con
Quits to carry all Of it's wires in the
district it is probable that the cost
would be in the neighborhood of
twenty-five thousand dollars. Engineers
representing the telephone company
and the gas and electric company have
been invited to discuss the matter with
the council committee this evening.

People have not been slow to learn
that Mayor Pfennig plans to give real
time to the duties of the office of mayor

morning several people were waiting
to consult with him.

the mayor this morning. "The hours
I have selected to be in the office daily
are tentative and if the people seem
to feel that they would rather have
some other hour In We day 4 chsage

consult with me and I am going to give
up this hour every day to this work

pie who have complaints or suggestions
can arrange to meet me in my office

ness like appearance. The desk is
opened up and there seems to be real
papers in the pigeon holes and the
present mayor promises to make the

pointed in the lack of interest that most
of the people of the city showed.

PUTS BAN ON "CLIPs."
Post Office Department May Refuse to
Accept Mail Matter Sealed With
These Devices.

The post office department is out
with recommendation for the dis.
continuance of the use of metal or wire
clips such as are utilized in the mailing
Of postal cards and circulars providing
return card. The wire clips have been
interfering with the canceling machines
and some of the employees of the depart
ment have injured their fingers on them.
In some cases this has caused blood
poisoning and the government seeks to
protect its employees from further injury
and suffering.
While circulars and cards so fastened
have so far not been excluded from the
mails the letter received by Postmaster
James German yesterday afternoon con-
tanned an intimation that such action
is contemplated unless the mailers make
use of envelopes to better protect their
circulars and cards and do away with
the danger of injury to employees who
are forced to handle thousands of them
every day.
The manufacturers of the clips are
opposing the enforcement of the order
for the reason that it will reduce the
amount used. One Kenosha manufac-
turing concern recently. countermanded
an order for a million of the fasteners
and it is understood that similar orders
have been cancelled by other large
firms in Chicago and the eastern cities.

returned to Columbus after twelve
day trip and on the trip Mexican ban
dts opened fire on the truck. Bienne-
mann had his full protection of six
United States soldiers and the soldiers
returned the fire with vigor, killing
one of the party of bandits which at
tackled the truck. Biennemann admits
that the fight came as one break in the
monotony in connection with the work
in Mexico. Biennemann states in his
letter that he is on the way now for a
thirty day trip to carry provisions to
the soldiers. The only gruesome relic
that he sent with this letter was a pict-
ure of the execution of Mexican
bandit known as "Black joe" He
asserts that the Kenosha boys are all
well and that there is less complaint
on the food being supplied to them.

Central System of Roads and Pro-.
vide for Betterment in All Counties.

least fifty members for the newly or
ganized Wisconsin Good Roads Asso-

well known road boosters of the city

ledge of the business necessity and wis
dom of good roads; to show the taxpay-
ers that the form of road which is
cheapest in the beginning is often the
most expensive in the end; to see, so far
as possible, that the financing of our
highways is based on sound principles;
to work for the building and mainte-
nance of State trunk lines running moth
and south, east and west; to aid and
supplement the work of the highway
department of the State, in obtaining
