present time love the most faithful

New England Magazine the rot writ

foster, encourage and keep alive the
prejudice in the north, the reflex ac-

south. And thus it is that all things
work together for the good of the

GAS HOUSE IN FLAMES.

AT $50. on Monday afternoon the gas
house took fire and in shout 1lme the
main building was consumed. The nre
department responded in good thine and
soon four streams of water were playing
on the burning mass. At first the boys
were a little nervous about approaching
the building. Rumors were spread
through the crowd that the valve 80 the
naptha tank had not been turned OFT and
the like; but the Superintendent assured
the fire laddies that all was safe and they
went in and fought the fire with a Ven
geance. BY $50 the fire was out Lumber
was on the ground for rebuilding, a large
force of men were engaged and little
later work was begun. Mr.. Wilkinson,
the present Supt., deserves great credit
for the push aud energy he displayed al
this critical moment. He worked day
and night with the men and by strenu-
Gus effort kept Kenosha out of the dark.
This gave Mr.. Wilkinson an excellent OPP
portunity to show the people OF Kenosha
his ability as an engineer, and he did so
to the great satisfaction Of many. The
fact that gas plant rendered entirely
useless by fire, was restored sufficiently
in "a hours to make gas and keep things
moving is a great deal in his favor.
THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE
is unknown. The man in charge at the
time. Chris. Jensen, was up stairs and
had lust shut off the naptha, having fin
ished "shift." He saw burst OF
flame down stairs and Immediately rushed
below to put out the fire if possible.
Upon reaching the scene he saw that it
would be fruitless job and displaying
great presence of mind, first shut off all
connections to the gasometer and then
threw off the safety valve on his boiler,
thus guarding against all possibility OF
explosion. The mans face was badly
burned, but not SO bad as was thought.
He was removed to his boarding place
and cared for at once. Praise is not
