Zion City Chief Makes Prize
Catch When He Arrests
Two Law Makers From
Chicago Districts.
BEER FROM kENOsHA

Zion City is beginning to get some
class in connection with arrests made
fof beer smugglers and on Tuesday two
state, senators of Illinois who had been
|active in the operations Of the Keno
sha Chicago beer train were nabbed by
the officials at that city. Senators Car
roll and Burke, both of Chicago, were
given as the men under arrest. Several
[other men were arrested with the I'LL
nois political leaders and all were re-
LEASED on bonds. The trucks contain
ling large amount of beer which had
been purchased in Kenosha for transfer
ito Chicago were placed in the hands of
"a receiver pending further action Of
the courts. Two taxicab drivers from
Chicago were also arrested on charges
of bringing liquor into prohibition ter
ritory. All of the men were released
on bonds of $1,000 each.
Local brewery agents said today that
the beer which was confscated on
Tuesday had not been secured in Ke-
nosha but that it probably was secured
IN either Racine or Milwaukee. 1t was
admitted however that sales of the
bottled beer were still abnormal in Ke-
nosha and that 1t was possible that it
had been picked up at saloons in Ke-
nosha without the knowledge of the
brewery agents.
> 49, =
Government agents at Zion carefully
questioned the men as to where they
had secured the liquor. They told con
fiicting stories and all of them declare
that they had been employed by Chi
.cago men to transport the beer from
Wisconsin to Chicago. They claimed
thta the beer did not belong to them
and that they were acting solely as
transportation agents. All of it was Of
the 2.75 or better variety and it had
been made in Milwaukee breweries.

RACINE VOTES
|. FOR ROAD BONDS

Racine county is going to build good
roads-lots of them-for at a special
election held in that county on Tues
day the people by vote of 1902 to $50
voted to issue county bonds in the sum
of $3,500,000 for the completion of a
system Of roads in Racine county dur
ing the coming year. The action of the
voters is of especial interest to Keno
sha county on account of the fact that
the new road system Of Racine county
provides that every road in that county
connecting with Kenosha county roads
be improved in a permanent manner.
1t is expected that the action Of Racine
county will act as a spur for Kenosha
county to provide for the permanent
improvement of many roads. Kenosha
county may next year follow the lead
of Racine county and submit to the
people the question of issuing a suf-
ficient amount of road bonds to pro-
vide for the permanent improvement of
all the roads in Kenosha county.
Members of the Kenosha County Board
have been Glossy watching the develop
ments in connection with the submits
sion of the question in Racine and it is
possible that the matter may come be
fore the Kenosha board at the meeting
set for the first day Of October.
The sentiment in favor of the road
bonds was pronounced all over Racine
county. In the city of Racine the
vote was 1868 to 631 in favor of the
bond issue and in the villages and rural
territory of the county the vote was
1884 to 500 against the issue.
The vote on the school bond issue in
Racine was 1880 for the bonds and IT'S
against it. The issue will be $475 900
The proposed bond issue Of $4,000 fol
proposed library extensions in Racine
was defeated by vote Of 1856 to 1903

KEPT SECRET.

And please don It tell it to the news

large ford faced and muchly perturbed
stranger who rushed to the central po
lice station at Milwaukee on Tuesday
night and engaged in a whispered CON
ference with Sergeant Dineen.
The sergeant didn t, but shortly
thereafter a notice appeared on the
bIotter announcing that "Orville, last
name unknown, age IA, home Keno

shoeing the reporter discovered thai
the worried man was member of tbs
Kenosha police force, who had beer
in Kaukauna- Orville had been visit
ing in that village and was about tt
return to his homo in Kenosha, and the
officer had offered his services in seeing

STATE FAIR RAIN
RUNS TRUE TO FORM
Heaviest Rainfall of the Summer in
Kenosha County on Tuesday Night
and This Morning.

esi1u ILLS nhOIl1Qg.
The annual state fair week rain
which started in just after eight o.
clock Tuesday evening ran true to form
and Kenosha looked like bedraggled
chicken this morning. It was the most
persistent rain of the summer in Keno
sha and it spread out all over Kenosha
county and the surrounding territory.
During the night it is estimated that
the city and county had rainfall al
most equal to the entire rainfall of the
rest of the summer months. While
there was a mighty big lot of water
fell during the night and early this
morning the sewers of the city seem to
have taken care of it and there were
no complaints of floods coming into the
city engineer s Office this morning.
The heavy rainfall put crimp in the
construction work in the city and most
of it was at standstill today waiting
for the water to get out of the way,

Vegetables Raised In Henry
S. COoper's Garden At Dun
mOvin Take First Prize
At State Fair.
HIGH HORTICUL TURAL HONOR
Award Marks the Kenosha County Gar
den AS the Best In Badger State-Of-
fcials Take Pictures of Dun
movin Products.

The garden of Henry s. Cooper at
his country estate, Dunmovinf', a
short distance west of the city of Ke-
nosha, was officially recognized as the
best garden in the state of Wisconsin
on Sunday evening when the Wiscon-
sin State Fair Judges awarded the ex-
hibit of vegetables exhibited by the
Dunmovin garden represented all of
the entries from Kenosha County but
they were enough to carry away the
county honors and to place this coun-
ty as first in the horticultural honors
of the meet.
The Cooper garden has been one of
the beauty spots of the Dunmovin es-
tate and the management Of it has
been of particular enjoyment to Mr..
Cooper who stated this morning that
he was very much pleased with the
award. Many Of his friends who had
visited the garden during the year
complimented him highly on the sue
cess of the garden and were not sur
prised when they learned that it had
taken the sweepstakes honors at the
State Fair.
The exhibit from the Dunmovin gar
den included samples of the tomatoe J,
cucumbers, parsnips, eggplant, lima
beans, corn and more than dozen
other kinds Of vegetables The .exhib-
it was taken to Milwaukee by Gardner

Chicago North Shore and
Milwaukee Will Not Raise
Tariffs To Meet Recent
Advances In Wages.
DEPEND ON MORE BUSINESS
John j. Moran Representing Officials
of Line Is In Kenosha and Tells How
Company Expects To Meet New De-
mands Without Raising Fare.

Kenosha patrons of the Chicago North
Shore and Milwaukee Electric Railway
need not fear that the recent adj
vance in wages granted the employees
of the company will bring correspond
ing increase in the rates and tariffs Of
the company. All such fears were dis
sipated on Tuesday evening when John
il Moran, representing the officials Of
the company announced here that the
company would depend on increased
business and greater efficiency in hand
ling it and not on an increase of rates
to meet the new demand made on the
company for approximately 100000
annually to meet the wage increase.
The company is confident that Ke-
lnosha as well as other cities along the
North Shore Line will welcome this an
Inouncement and Judging from the in
crease in. business which has been given
us from Kenosha and other cities there
will be no doubt but what the company
can make up the added expense in the
new method. Increased business
through improved service" is the slo-
gan adopted by the Chicago North Shore
and Milwaukee Railroad to meet the
new addition to its budget
The wage increase amounts to ap-
proximately 100000 year and unlike
most railroads and other business CON
Germs, the North Shore Line hopes to
meet it without increasing rates to the
public.
More business at the present rates is
the policy which the company hopes
will meet the higher costs of operation.
Strict economy and improved efficiency
are the watchwords given the employees.
Courtesy toward patrons and real SER
vice to the public are demanded of all
trainmen and station agents, so that
the road IS patronage may continue TO
grow.
Many improvements in TIE service
have recently been inaugurated and
AupIC die OOuCCll4 pldCSQ III tuC nSd1 lu-
ture. Orders have been placed by the
company for thirty new passenger
coaches. Delivery on the new equip
ment is expected to begin late in the
fall. New tracks have been built be-
tween Milwaukee and Carrollville and
the roadbed has been improved in q
number Of places with stone ballast.
Everything possible is being done in
the way of. making a bid for popular
favor.
Direct through operation Of North
Shore trains into the Loop district in
Chicago, which began a month ago, is
expected to result in greatly increased
passenger traffic. AS the trains circle
the Elevated Loop passengers can be
discharged at any point they desire in
the business district, thus saving the
time and the carfare required to go to
other railroad stations. The fare on the
Electric Line between Milwaukee and
Chicago is considerably lower than that
charged by other roads, another factor
which the officials of the North Shore
Line expect will add to the popularity
Of the road.
