Tha Promoter Favors Wankegan If He Can Oat a Beanonabto FmnchlM. Kenosha's chances of getting the ter minal for the proposed Wynn railroad to tap the western lake region of"the county and to connect with the intern rban sys terns of northern Illinois, seem tp be get ting rather dim and from present indi­ cations it appears as if Kenosha would be fortunate to get even a branch con nection with the railroad, which was the original scheme of Mr. Wynn when he proposed bis franchise to Waukegan, says the Kenosha Daily Journal. The reason for Kenosha's chances growing dimmer is in the attitude the citizens of Wankegan have taken toward the railroad. The residents of the down lake city are vociferously clamoring for the railroad and are determined that the city shall not lose it. The most effectual utterance yet made was at "get together" banquet of over 100 lead­ ing Wankegan business men at which a unanimous resolution was passed de­ manding of the city council that it see that the Wynn road got a franchise The business men see the importance of the trade from the western country dis­ tricts which will be opened up by the railroad, hence their stand. In face of the wishesof so many rep­ resentative citizeUs it is decidedly doubt­ ful if the Wankegan city council will dare to hold the bonus demanded of the road so high that Mr. Wynn cannot accept the terms. Of course Mr. Wynn would rather have Wankegan his terminal than any other lake shore city. It is his home city and he has been dickering with Wankegan from the start. It is some­ what donbtful if he ever sincerely wanted to make Kenosha his terminal. Certainly not as long there was any chance of getting a reasonable franchise from Wankegan. Of course if this proved impossible, he would be glad to take Kenosha as the next beet bet. Perhaps his Kenosha talk was merely to frighten the Waukeganites. It was a clever and legitimate move and has evidently proved successful. Rich Men's Gifts Are Poor beside this: "I want to go on record as saying that I regard Electric Bitters as one of the greatest gifts that God has made to woman," writes Mrs. O. Rhine- vault, of Vestal Center N. Y. "l ean never forget what it has done tot me." This glorious medicine gives a woman buoyant spirits, vigor of body and jubi­ lant health.
