A CAT IN THE BANK.
It Became an Exceedingly Offensive One
Before it Got Out.

Before it Got Out.
Patrons of the Farmers State bank
Tuesday became aware of the presence
of an indefinable something not at all
pleasant. This something manifested
itself everywhere, both up stairs and
down. 1t got up a bigger manifesto
ton up stairs than it did down, but
there was enough of it everywhere to
set the ordinary individual not used to
the odors Of a limberger cheese factory
on his edge, so to speak. There was
something exceedingly pungent about
it, so much so, in fact, that when
Assistant Cashier Fred Engel had any
special grudge against any member Of
the human family in Kenosha, he is
sued a special invitation to that in
dividual to step in and enjoy this sing
ular presence.
1t got unbearable after while, how
ever, and the genial bankers decided
that, be it sewer gas or decayed rat,
it must cease it's annoyance and take u
rest. A carpenter was called IN and
for several hours he acted as munici-
pal smelling committee, attempting to
locate the cause. He sampled all the
plumbing about the building, but there
was no disturbance there. Then he
went to ripping up the floor OF Lloyd Il
McDowell's Office, to see if any of the
ex-district attorneys record had slipped
off the ice and through the cracks OF
the floor. It hadn't. 1t was found to
be a cat which had gone hence some
weeks ago.
1t seems that while workmen we're
repairing the bank building some three
weeks ago, a cat wandered into an
opening which let it in under the floor,
probably some night and stayed there,
and was consequently nailed in. The
obnoxious animal was removed.

QUITE A SIGHT.
The Work of Putting in the Intake Pipe
at the Lake Shore.

The work Of putting in the intake
pipe for the water works is very in-
teresting operation to watch. The
sight is one not seen here very often,
and quite number of our citizens have
been slipping down to the lake shore
from time to time all day to see how
the work was done.
The work is being performed by
Diver Frank Ram, of Milwaukee, from
OFF the boat built for that purpose, Tive
| Henrys. The boat looks very ponder
Gus and cumbersome with its large
timbers, beams and braces and the
almost ineXtricable mass of haWsers
and ropes. 1t is very Compactly built
! for a vessel Of the kind and is evident
| ly made more for strength than beauty
In appearance it is short, tubby look
ing craft, of a rather large beam. This
boat takes the pipes that are linked to-
gether in lengths of sixty feet, from a
a slip in the Simmons yard, where they
are put together by laborers and Joint
ed solidly with lead. Before these
pipes are taken in charge by the boat
they are securely plugged at both ends
so as to be water tight. They are then
rolled down into the water and the
boat takes them in charge by fastening
onto them by means of wire ropes at
tached to cross beams, which are in
turn suspended from the big timber
work on the boat made for the pur-
pose. The pipes are held just above
the surface OF the water, and are al
lowed to remain on the outside of the
boat. The work of getting the pipe to
the place where it is to be laid is then
small matter.
Once in position the diver gets on his
suit of rubber and heavy metal. The
pipe is lowered into the water and it is
then the business of the diver to get
the end of the pipe lowered and the
end of the pipe already there, together
The joints are prepared for this
operation before they get into the div
er's hands. They are made perfectly
tight fitting. The diver forces the one
pipe inside the other by means of
clamps, which are left to hold the pipes
together. 1t is tedious operation and
while being performed all one can see
from above water is the small rubber
tube, a rope and step ladder, and the
bubbling of the water above the divers
head.
This is very costly work, the diver
getting $50 per day for his part of it.
When it is considered that not more
than thee or four lengths of pipe can
be laid day, one can readily get some
idea of the expense by figuring on how
long it will take him to get $3.50 feet
OF the pipe laid. The whole will cost
about $4,000.

In House and senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I.-Congress reas- sembled quietly and went to work with very little vim. The proceedings in the house lacked marked incidents of any kind. The debate on the currency bill continued all day. but was generally spirit less, and the attendance. which was larg- est at the beginning, dwindled to almost nothing. The speakers were Messrs, Black (Ga). McCreary and Beckner (Ky) in favor of the bill. and MeSSrs. Haugen (Wis and Adams (Pa. in opposition to it. No oth- CT business was transacted.
 The resolution heretofore introduced by Mir. Allen (POp, Neb. relating to the Oc- cupation of rooms in the basement of the
 Nnate wing of the capitol for restaurant
 urpOses gave rise to an interesting debate during the morning hour of the session of the senate. Mir. Allen severely criticised the practice of furnishing the proprietor of the restaurant free of cost his furniture. ice, etc, and asserted 1t was a violation of the statutes and constituted larceny of the public funds. MesSrs. Hale (Rep., Me and Manderson (Rep.. Neb.) replied to the observations of Mir. Allen and defended the existing practice No Oaction was taken on the resolution.
 Tho remainder of the day was taken up by Mir. Morgan (Dem., Ala in a speech on the Nicaraguan canal bill, in which he replied in detail to the arguments advanc ed by Mir. Turpie Dem. Ind.l in opposi- ton to the bill

 WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.-The president and Senator David B. Hill shook hands in the White House Then the president and the senator sat down to dinner. and afterward they went to the smoking room, where the president enjoyed his cigar while he and the senator, who have been estranged so long. chattet as they used to chat when they were first elected governor and lieutenant governor of the state of New York. That was years ago-some 13 years ago.
 All Washington in buzzing this morn- ing. EverybodS Is asking what 1t means And nobody knows or can guess
 When the list of names of guests at the presidents dinner to the cabinet was gwen out last evening. the appearance among them of that of Senator Hill of New York was received with some incre- dulity. There had been no intimation that the New York senator was to be present, and when 1t became known about town that Mir. Hill was a guest of the president the fact was at once the subject of the greatest speculation.
 There had been rumors that an under standing had been reached between the president and Mir. Hill but the presence of the latter at the White House was the first tangible evidence that the rumors were probably authentic.
 But once during tbis administration has Mir. Hill before been within the DOT tals of the executive mansion. That time was just after the arrival of Senator Mur- phy, and the two New York senators ap- peared at the White House together, but the best information is that they did not see the president at that time. The president and Mir. Hill met in the general assemblage before the dinner be- gan, and their meeting was to every ap- pearance one of extreme cordiality. They remained together fer some minutes in Q close conversation. Mir. Hill escorted Mrs. Hearst to the dining hall.
 Senator Hill declined to discuss his presence at the White House, saying that it was purely u social visit md had no po- litical significance and consequently he did not feel at liberty to talk on the sub, ject. Nevertheless his attendance will be Q mark for political gossip for some days to come. It is understood that Mir Hill was invited tn the last cabinet dinner. but declined.
