The engravers of the United States mint have prepared dies for a uew five cent piece, bearing the bead of George Washington. If the government adopts this coin, it wilt be the Brut in author ized circulation to hear the head of the first president of the republic. The adoption of the new design lies with the treasury department. The Chicago & North Western rail road has a gang of men at work at the culvert about oue half mile north of Al gonquin gutting it in shape for a new iron one, which is to be put in to take the place of the woodeu oue. This cul­ vert is the one that crosses the Crystal Lake road, and has beeu a very dan gerous place for teams and antoiuobiles, being narrow and straight, and a trav eler coming from either side could not see what might be in the road ahead of hiui until he was under the cnlvert. The new culvert will be forty three feet wide, made of iron, and will rest on stone piers, and will also be higher than the present one.

Starved Rock will become a state free park if the government will take up the proposition seriously and secure title to the land. The owner, Mr. 'Walter, has announced that he is willinar to let the natural park pass into federal or state ownership. According to the LaSalle County Historical society, which met recently, Mr. Walters has a strong senti­ mental attachment for the place, and states that if he were a yonng man he oot^Jd not lie induced to part with it, but that now he has arrived at an age when be is willing to relinquish the care of it to others, aud he sincerely hopes the state or federal government will as­ sume it rather than it should become the property of private individuals. The society intends to assist the park commission appointed by Gov. Deueen in securing data in regard to the place. It also states that the laud can be se­ cured at a reasonable price.

She was throwing some coal in the furnace and had her pocketbook tucked in her belt. While at work the purse dropped into the shovel of coal aud was tossed into the fire. She went npstairs, but soon discovered her loss and commenced a search. Throwing open the fnrnace door she saw something blaziug that looked different from the blaze from the rest of the fuel and she pulled it to one side and threw water on it. It proved to be her pocketbook, but the leather was all burned away. There was $27 in currency, a silver dollar and some change in it. The currency was sent to the mint at Washington with an afH davit of the occurence Today word was received that the money bad been redeemed and new bills will be sent to replace those burned. The money was not uurolied here, but sent just the way It was taken from the fnrnace. First year enrollment: girls, 10; total, 20.

D. Wyun of Waukegan, vice presi­ dent of the Central Engineering and Construction company of Chicago, who has been trying to get a terminal at Waukegan for his electric raliroad, opening up the entire western lake re­ gion and connecting with the network of internrbau railroads in Illinois, was in Kenosha one day last week and the meaning of his visit was this: Negotia­ tions are off with Waukegan and Mr. Wynn has now decided to makeKeno-. sha the eastern terminal of his railroad, providing he can get a satisfactory fran­ chise from Kenosha. Just before Mr. Wynn left Chicago for Kenosha, M. A. True, president of the company of which Mr. Wynn is vice president, sent a letter to the-mayor and every alderman in Waukegan and to the newspapers of that city, telling them that negotiations were off. The Waukegan city council had considered Mr. Wynn's application for a fifty-j'ear franchise and had decided upon a pro vision by which the road would pay to the city of Waukegan the sum of|75,- 000 iu fixed installments during the life of the franchise, payments to start in fifteen years. The aldermen thought that they bad driven a good bargain and Mr. Wynn was hailed as a Sauta Clans by oue of the Waukegan dailies. The letters mailed to the council and newspapers arrived Thursday morning of last week aud fell like a bombshell into the camp. Mr. Wynn wants a lake port for his terminal and thinks Kenosha equally as good a site as Waukegan. Should the road enter Kenosha it would give that city complete access to a complete outer belt line arouud Chicago and within two years would provide a complete interurban system as far south as St. Louis. Following is the proposed rotate of the road: From Kenosha the line will go west to Lake Geneva. At Trevor the main line will turn south thru Antioch, skirting the east side of Fox lake and around the south end of the lake to McHenry, Woodstock, Marengo, Belvi dere and Rockford. At the south end of Fox Lake the line will branch again, the new branch going south thrn Wan- oonda, Barrington and Elgin. At Elgin connections will be made with the third rail line to Chicago and with the interurban system to Aurora and Joliet When the Joliet to Gary, Ind., line is complete, the network of railways will make a complete outer belt line surrounding Chicago. Within two years a line will be completed be­ tween Joliet and Bloomington, 111., which will make possible a trip tot,St. Louis entirely via electric. At Rock- ford connections will be made with Freeport, Beloit and Janesville. The line going west out of Kenosha will take in all the towns by the way. Connections will be made with the fol­ lowing railroads by the proposed road; Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, Wis­ consin Central, Illinois Central, Great Western and the Joliet and Eastern. Mr. Wynn wants to enter the heart of the city of Kenosha with his passengers, bnt would build his freight yards out­ side of the city at a point suitable to the officials. Thus there would be no haul­ ing of freight thru the city streets. While in Kenosha Mr. Wynn was the guest of Mayor Scholey, who some time ago told him of the advantages of Keno­ sha as a terminal for his road. The Central Engineering and Construction company of Chicago, of which Mr. Wynu is vice president, has the contract for building the line, and the railroad ia incorporated in Illinois for a million and a half. In order to make Kenosha the terminal, application for a permit will have to be made from the state rail­ road commission before incorporating in that state and before a franchise can be asked for in Kenosha. There woald probably be little difficulty in gather­ ing a permit from the railroad commis­ sion, a| there is no line with which the proposed one wonld be in direct compe­ tition. Ten days must elapse trom the date of filing an application with the railroad commission, and if no protests are filed the permit will be granted. Mr. Wynn was impressed with Keno­ sha as a terminal for his line and says there are several desirable entrances into the city. IN A SOCIAL WAY.
