just think of it! Here we have
been using nasty, sticky fly paper and
all manner of disagreeable things to
get rid of flies, when we might have
accomplished the same object in a de-
lightfully aesthetic way by keeping
few sweet pea vines in the room. At
least SO hints the RurdZ NeaO Yorker
Don't go out in your night SKIRT to
chase neighbors' calf off your prem
ises, unless you are sure the calf won't
knock over a lot of bee hives. That's
what an old beekeeper named Van
Patten did at Vassar, Mich, few days
ago. The bees stung him from head
to foot, and at last accounts he lay at
the point of death.
1t is not often that newly built
vessel is launched in Kenosha. The

the council Monday evening asking for

appointed.
People living out near Silver Lake
tell of a queer, perhaps an unpleasant,
experience three or four Kenoshans
had out there Saturday afternoon. Fl.
L. Eichelman, Mr.. and Mrs. Gilmore
and Mrs. Myron Hale were all out
driving and in some way tipped over
and all dumped out. They got up
without anyone's being hurt and went
on, all getting their heads together to
declare thatnothing would be said about
it, especially so that the newspapers
could get hold of it. But the story is
out.
The champion fisher of Kenosha
county has been discovered. She is a
young lady and a teacher in Sabbath
school, so we feel sure that she is not a
candidate for the Annanias club.
Monday Miss Luella Carpenter, of
Wilmot, was fishing in the Fox river
when she felt gentle tugging at the
line. Pulling in gently she deftly
swung her catch into the boat. 1t

There is an open ditch running
through a ravine in block seven, in
which block Capt. Chas. Frantz re-
sides. There are twenty or more pri-
vate sewers emptying into the ravine
and the result is far from sanitary.
Capt. Frantz, in an address to the
council Monday evening, described the
nuisance and he said that the poison
GUS gases arising from the ravine we're
so persistent that he was forced to keep

side of his house closed and the smell

council postponed action until Thurs
day evening. According to description
the state of affairs must be outrageous.
AID. Eiba Weyhe has gotiit in for
the railway. Monday evening at the
council meeting he grabbed the Chi
cago & North Western corporation by
the coat collar and shook it until its
false teeth chartered. First, when the
bill was brought up for the sidewalk
crossing on Park street, Weyhe object

protest. Finally he rose to his feet in
