FIRE AT THE STERLING.
Night Waterman Subdues a Dangerous
CONGREGATION.

N1Sub WdbCumdu ouDUu6S d OdAS6IOus
Confagration.
The Sterling bicycle factory had a
narrow escape from fire last night, and
had it not been for the timely arrival of
one of the night watchmen the COM
pany would have undoubtedly suffered
serious loss. Sometime about mid
night the Waterman had occasion to go
into the factory, and on the main floor
near one of the air f1ues he discovered
a work pan full of burning, blazing
rags. The fireman did not send in an
alarm, but got all the fire protection in
the factory and soon had the fire
smothered with water.
The cause of the fire was spontane-
Gus combustion, which had occurred
from a number of towels covered with
oil and grease. 1t had been smoul-
dering for some time, for early in the
evening the men in the Office had no.
ticed an odor of burning oils, but a
careful search failed to reveal the
source and they concluded it had come
from dynamo being over heated.
The arrival of the Waterman was most
opportune, for in less than five minutes
more the wood in the near proximity of
the pan would have been ignited and a
serious confagration would have re-
suited.

CAPT. CROSBY RIDES.
And the Farmer Mourns over the Loss
of Some Fence.

of Some Fence
Capt. Crosby, of the steamer c. Fl.
SSarke, began riiing wheel on
Thursday afternoon, and as a result
nearly all the fences are down between
this city and Racine. Now the captain
carries something like $50 pounds
avoirdupois, and while he is able to
ride the highest rollers that ever
occurred on Lake Michigan, this skill
does not seem to have helped him
much in mastering the Intricate rules
of the bike. However the captain
thought it dead easy and started for
Racine. The wheel was a rented one
and all along the line the cries of ice"
greeted him until the captain almost
worn out by his labor could hardly
stand the taunts heaped upon his
seed of steel. However this was only
the beginning of the trouble, for when
he reached the first wire fence the
captain couldn't let the opportunity
slip and dashed into it with all the
strength of his $50 pounds. Of course
the wire broke. Most wires would, but
the captain never stopped, but
riding on he wrapped the wires
about himself and wheel until over
ten rods had been destroyed
and he was forced to stop against a
post. Here bruised and bleeding the
farmer who owned the fence found him
and transported him back to the city,
where an arrangement was made to
settle for the fence. The captain left
this morning, but it is safe to predict
that this will be his last attack on the
bicycle.

UNDER FALSE PRETENsEs.
j. H. Hamilton Secures a Dollar From
G. A. Dewey


j. H. Hamilton, a painter of the
city, who has formerly borne very
good reputation, was arrested on We'd
nesday afternoon on a charge of secur-
ing money under false pretenses.
Shortly after noon he went into the
hardware store of c. A. Dewey, with a
hand full of small change and asked
that the hardware dealer would give
him a dollar bill for it, Mr.. Dewey
sent him back to the Office saying that
the bookkeeper would accommodate
him. The fellow then went to the
bookkeeper and told him that Mr..
Dewey told him to get dollar. The
dollar was given him, but he failed to
turn over the change as he agreed.
AS soon as Mr.. Dewey discovered the
way in which he had been swindled he
had the fellow arrested on a charge of
receiving money under false pretenses.
Hamilton was brought before Justice
Slater this morning and the case was
continued for a week, the prisoner
being released on $50 bond.
Hamilton has had a checkered ca
reer and his downfall will cause con-
siderable surprise to many of the citi-
zens who have taken an interest in
him. He was at one time leader in
Y. M. C. A. work in the city, but for
the past year he has been rapidly 60

actions of Wednesday on the grounds
that he was drunk and didn't know
what he was doing.

VOLUNTEERS WILL ACCEPT.
Company Has Decided to Enter the State
Guard.

The officers of the Kenosha VOlun-
teers met at the Grant House Wednes-
day evening and in an informal manner
it was finally decided that the company
would agree to be mustered into the
State Guard. The men had considered
the course of holding out until they
might be called out Independently,
but they were advised by we'll known
men that their best course would be to
enter the State Guard. The only
reason that the boys have held back
was because some of them could not
afford the expenses necessary for mem
bers of the State Guard, but the state
promises to be very kind to them, and
not only supply them with an armory,
but also to pay a part of the expense
of securing uniforms.
A member of the Governors staff
was in the city Wednesday afternoon,
and when speaking on the subject be
said that the National Guard troops
would undoubtedly be soon joined to
the regular army. Even if peace is
declared as large bodies of troops will
be necessary in order to protect the
interests of the nation in the newly
acquired possessions.
In order to lessen the expense on the
boys several schemes have been pro-
posed and the citizens will undoubtedly
respond literally and assist in making
the home company the pride of the
Wisconsin National Guard.

IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEGUN
Gas Company Will Greatly Enlarge Their
Buildings and Equipment.

Buildings and Equipment.
Work was begun this morning on the
new improvements on the buildings
and equipments of the plant of the Ke-
nOsha Gas and Fuel company.
The building will be entirely rebuilt
from the ground up, and will be a most
beautiful design when completed, not
only furnishing a plant which will be
in keeping with the business of the
company, but one which will add con-
siderable beauty to the real estate OF
the city. The building will be two
stories high and built on fire proof
design of brick, stone and iron.
The present capacity of the works
will be more than doubled, and new
machinery will be placed in every part
of the building. The building and
equipments will cost over $4,000 and
will he ready for use by the first of
October.

The Kenosha bicycle club held their
second meeting Thursday evening at
Anil Bnnsred's repair shop, and over
sixty Wheelmen turned out to assist in
making the affair a success. The for
NAL organization was completed and
officers elected as follows:
President-J. Lopez.

Captain Eugene Lippert.
Sergeant at Arms--Frank Rhode.
The club have determined to put
forth every effort to make it a success,
and to place Kenosha in its proper
place in wheeling circles. Committees
were appointed to secure permanent
place for club rooms and to secure
colors and badges for members. The
club propose to organize an Athletic
Association patterned after the wheel
mems clubs of Chicago and Milwaukee.
An effort will be made to build bicy-
Gle track at once and give a series of
races. In the winter months the club
will open gymnasium and also enter
into the social festivities of the city.
The club already numbers many of the
best riders in the city among it's mem
bers, and a large number of others
have signifed willingness to unite in
the movement.

useful information regarding sheep,
from which the following useful points
were taken: The breeding eve more

lungs. Sheep crave wider variety
of food than any other of the domestic
animals, aud some succulent food is
highly desirable for ewes, but don't
pay high prices for concentrated foods
or so-called condition powders. Get
five pounds of gentian, 100 pounds of
oil meal, and mix with wheat bran to

Referring to scab among sheep
which has gained strong foothold in
the country, the speaker made this
pertinent suggestion: Have sheep

demonstrated that the scab eau endure

scabby sheep have been, and clean
sheep may contract it by lying where
it is.

Value of ia inward Manure.

The real value OF the accumulation
il the barnyard is beginning to be ap-
prcclated. We have farmer rea lers
who have said to us that they don't
believe i'll barnyard manure. They
believed it made their land '.too
rich. We really never have seen
land that was too rich. IT might be
too rich for particular crop if highly
manured, but if the manure is applied
where it belongs, in rotation, there
Is no danger of land ever getting too
rich. 1t might make land too rich for
an oat crop to manure it heavily, be-
cause 1t would make too rank Il growth

much of IT. While the manure pile is
beginning to be appreciated, there are
a great many who do not know its real
value. They do not appreciate the
TACT that 1T it is put in the right place
1t means increased yields, and returns
lar exceeding the cost of application.
The reason why there is failure to
appreciate the value of the barnyard
accumulation is because farmers have
been for long time accustomed to a
very rich and comparatively virgin
soil; but there never was soil so
rich that it would not wear out by
continuous cropping without any re-
turns being made to it. Every com
paratively new country is slow to learn
this. 1t has the accumulations of
centuries, perhaps, to draw upon.
Eastern farmers had these accumula-
tons, too, and so did those of the
South, but in both sections com
mercial fertilizers are now being used.

Listed Corn Is Profitable and Why.

2. Because it takes less labor than
checked corn.
B. Because a man can tend third

A. Because he can shuck more listed
corn than checked corn, because it
stands straight and is less liable to
blow down or tangle owing to the
brace roots being in the ground in
stead of being above the ground, as is
usual in checked corn.
D. If you wish to cut your corn with
cutter it is another great advantage,
because it does not pull up as easy as
checked corn.

The Advance of Dutch Women.

Most people think that the Dutch
are a stationary, if not retrograde,
people, but in one respect at least
they are ahead of most European ma
tons In the little monarchy, which
has II queen for its head, women dur
ing the last ten years have made
greater progress than perhaps. any
other nation in Europe Next year,
in token of this progress, Dutch WON
en- will hold a Worlds Fair at The
Hague, which is to be devoted solely
to the exhibition of womens activi-
ties and industries. Side by side
with this progress of women's work
there has been an advance in the po-
litical field. This year, says the HUI
manitarian, the Government has
passed a law comforting almost an
equal suffrage upon women, and max
ing them eligible to nearly all muni-
cipal Offices. In Holland, women
have learned the advantage of cooper
alton and organization, and instead of
being divided among themselves as in
other countries, they have worked to-
gether, with q result that they are
winning all along the line.
