Guests.Thursday Evening
Y. NJ. G. A., Supper.
The Fitzgerald Party.

The second in the series of Fitzger-
aid parties occurred at Central Music
hall Thursday evening. 1t was a rep
etition of the first successful event on a
larger scale. A very large number
were present, the floor being crowded
almost to its capacity. The music
was superior to anything heard here
vet this season. Each round dance was
applauded and not a few were encored
two or three tirAes. The program be-
gan about 8 o'clock. Mrs. G. A. Yule
and Mrs. E. G. Theirs acted on the re-
ception committee. Decorations in the
dancing hall consisted of palms with
festoons of evergreen and holly. Re-
freshments were served at 1l:30, the
dining rooms being ornamented with
Xmas decorations in req and green
consisting of red candles nestled in a
bed of holly. After supper the dane
ing continued until 2 o'clock.
The party was the largest given IN
Kenosha for some time. The large at
tendance of Kenosha people was aug
mented by the guests from out of town
who were entertained by Miss Avery
Miss Kimball, Miss Newell and others
The parties are over-reaching the ex-
pectations of even the most sanguine
projectors. The first one of the
series was an enjoyable one
in the extreme, but that o.
Thursday night has aroused still
more enthusiasm The remaining
functions re looked forward to with
great pleasure. Among the guests
present rom out Of town are the fol-
lowing: Misses Daisy Young, Nina

sAwousT EXPLOSIONS.
THE Ottawa River Il the scene oil
Queer UpheavaIS


Queer UpheavGIs.
Who ever heard Of sawdust expo
siOns? They are common enough IN
Canada. Navigation or the Ottawa
river has been seriously impeded at
times by explosions OF sawdust, and
the Dominion government LIS at Isst
decided 10 take steps 10 prevent any
practice which will enhance the posi-
biity CT these explosions taking pace.
One would hardly suppose tina; saw
dust dumped into tie river would in
course OF time reform itself into
gas generator which would keep the
surface Of the stream in q constant
state of upheaval. But il is true to
such an extent that small boats have
been eapsized and large vessels have
been injured by the submarine convul-
sions.
The bottom Of the Ottawa river IS
covered with deep layer of sawdust
dumped there by the lumbermen who
have carried on their log cutting in
6ustry on its banks and tributaries for
years. The dust becomes water-soaked,
sinks TO the bottom. and in the course
of time, rots and generates u highly
explosive gas. The water rises 10 the
surface, each bubble being Joined or
REINFORCED by other bubbles on the
way up. Contact with air seems to be
as destructive as touchfire to this gas,
and the moment the surface is reached
il explodes with loud report. Leg
islation may in time do away with the
annoyance, but even if no more saw
dust is thrown into the stream. hence
forth the millions of tons already there
will take long time TO work off their
gas-generating qualities

LOVE MAKES AN ARTIST.
The Wonderful Accomplishments of a

Il wiz be a painter" he said, but his
soul was cast down and he tremb.ed at
his own ignorance. His first efforts re-
assured him; he drew, and the lines
portrayed the loved and lovely face en-
graved on his heart. Il Will paint her"
he cried, love will inspire me-"
He gazed upon her until his soul be-
came drunk with her beauty; in his
wild enthusiasm and inspiration his
colors fell rapidly on the canvas until
they formed a wonderful picture of the
beautiful girl. Showing his work to
the astonished father, he said: There.

became distinguished among the sons

NEW USE OF THE KANGAROO.
The Tendons of His Tail Serving an
Important Purpose In Surgery.

Surgeons of Oakland, on the bay op-
posite San Francisco, have resorted to
the use of Kangaroo tendons TO tie up
The fractured bones of broken leg.
in order that the patient may have
use of his knee, while the bones are
knitting together, says an exchange
He is a painter, and this is the second
time he has broken a bone of his left
leg in the same place. ITO reset the
fracture and place the limb in a plas-

stroy the use of the knee joint" said
DR.. Stratton. The knee had already
become somewhat stiff from the first
setting We have decided to make ar
incision In the leg al the point of the
fracture Of the bone and will bore
holes in the broken bones Through
the hoes we will draw kangaroo ten
dons. and they will hold the bones
together until they knit, without the
use of a plaster cast about the knee
This will enable the knee to be bent

A vERITABLE SAINTS REST.
Xi1itla District In Mexico Free from
Locked Doors and Thieves.

Locked Doors and Thieves.
If a person wishes TO see an ideal
saints rest" said l.. A. Downing. TO
Chicago Chronicle man, "he should visit
the Militia district of the Mexican re-
public. The people there belong TO the
Huastecos tribe of Indians. They are
said TO have been among the bravest
opponents of Cortez. They are clean,
honest and industrious. No doors are
locked in Xilitla. Coffee planters go
away and leave gems and all manner of
personal property in their houses, but
lose nothing.

Gus the Huastecan standard of industry
must be borne il mind. Four days there
make week of labor. The Indian does
that four days work for one dollar. If
he were paid two or four dollars he
would work only four days. and arch
biologists suppose this custom to have
come from the habits of the ancient
people. The dollar is paid in advance
on Sunday. Payment insures the deliv-
cry of the four days work before Satur-
day night. If the work is not done the
Indian is defaulter in the light Of local
laws. and is thrown into jail. On Sun
day Militia has a population of 5000,
but on Monday not 200 Indians are
found in town. The others are out on
the plantation. Their day commences
with daylight and is kept up as long as
they can see. In that latitude there are
about 16 hours of daylight, so that the
laborers put in about GA hours of labor
as against 81 hours customary in the
Crited States"

During the last administration Of the

and in its numerous shops and machine
plants. Uncle" Hiram used TO do this
work and attend TO callers at the same

gone over each contract before ii was
handed to the chief, and there was no
need Of careful inspection by him. Mr..
Jones was also treasurer of the Church
Of the Epiphany, and the church bust

Of contracts, requiring the signature of

MANAGING ON SHARES.
The Equitable system Adopted by a

Wisconsin Farmer.
OF late much has been printed on the
above subject, but none seems to hit
the mark or the plan that will always
warrant success. Here in this very fer
tile district the farm manager gets one
half the proceeds of the farm for his
salary. lie owns one-hnlf of all the
live stock kept or raised on the farm.
lie has house and outbuildings, free
of rent; he furnishes teams and all the
tools, does all the work, and is required
in a written contract to do all the
work in season, and in good work
manlile manner; he is allowed to keep
team on the undivided grass and hay,
but must feed his own grain.
He can sell his crops at any time he
sees fit, and must sell the proprietor's
half at the pleasure of the owner of the
farm, and gets one cent per bushel for
hauling the grain not to exceed four
miles; all other proceeds he must take
to market free of charges.
lie must work the highway; he must
repair all fences and make light repairs
on the outbuildings, the owner furnish

pay all cash taxes and one-half of the
thrashing bill, and has one-half OF all
the proceeds of the farm of every ma
ture. except the proceeds of one-fourth
acre, which is assigned TO the tenant
for garden. The owner must be adj
vised as to the crops to be raised and
the different fields in which they must
be grown. The manner must be drawn
out every fall and put where it is most
needed.
The man on my farm commenced the
first of November last on his fourth
year. and as yet there has not b, N dis
satisfaction between us. The tenant
gets his pay as he goes along. and is
satisfied in all things; one-half of the
products Of the farm is his salary.
Most Of the farms in this vicinity are
managed on the above terms, which
are considered advantageous for the
tenant, especially in dry and unpro-
ductive season. for he has no rent
