In and About Powderv1lle.

Mr.. George Patterson, general super
intendent of the Powder Co., returned
from New York City today. He left
here about three weeks ago, and de-
declares to have passed some very
warm days in the metropolis of the
East.
Now that the large chimney at the
Powder works is so near completion
and one can. see what it will be like, the
almost unanimous decision is that it is
the handsomest in this part of the
country.
Pleasant Prairie M. E. Sunday school
and Sunday school of Wesleyan chapel
held their annual picnic in the large
grove at Pleasant Prairie. The
weather was all that could be wished
for, the attendance was unusually large,
the sale of ice cream and other good
things continued until late in the eve
ming and everyone generally talks
about the good time we'll worth having.
This will probably be the last time the
grove will be used for this purpose.
The trees are dying very rapidly and it
is best to clear the land for cultivation.
Mr.. F. c. Newton, superintendent of
the P1attsvi11e Blasting Powder mills,
of P1attvi11e, Wis, spent most of
Wednesday and Thursday in Pleasant

A HIGH TONED TRAMP.
A Wandering Willie Wants First Glass
Hotel.-Dictates to County Agent.

The County Agent meets all kinds of
people in the course of a year but one
of the strangest freaks of the tramp
nature that ever came under the sway
of County Agent Gonnerman was
found lying on the depot platform last
evening. The fellow was hope1ess1y
para1yzed and the County Agent de-
sired to do something for him. He
went to the fellow and offered him a
bed in the county jail, but he was
greatly surprised when the offer was
refused. In fact the fellow went the
official one better and told him that he
wanted to be sent to the best hotel in
the city and roper1y fed and cared for
until he was ready to continue on his
journey to the city. He even went SO
far as to make out menu of the things
that he desired served at his meals
during the time in which he honored
the city with his presence. At this
point the County Agent found his
breath again ands he soon told the
fellow that he would find entertain
ment at the Jail or else The could sleep
where evershe thought best at his own
expense. The fellow refused to be
taken to the jail and spent the night on
the platform. 6. This morning an effort
was made to have him sent to Chicago,
which he claims as his home. q

BILL AND ME-.
R. F. ROBERTS, See.

There was brother Bill and me, we was both on
US A. B.
In the fine bark Obadiah of North Amerikey.
We was known by all the crew to love each other
true
And we never told story nor a naughty lie
not we.
We was somewhere of the pole, where we'd gone
to pick up COAL
When Bill was took a-sudden with a very bad
scurvey;
So he laid down his side and very quietly
died.
Said the captain, 'Let's consign him to the
bottom of the sea-"
Then they sewed him in his berth, and he said
goodby to earth
When they took and hove him oversize our gal
liant little bark;
While stood and piped my eye, the crew they
gave a cry,
For saw him sliding wholesale down the
mouth Of big shark.
That was more nor I could stand, SO, a-waving of
my hand,
jumped and followed William into that hun
CRY shark,
But when got inside could ha' sat and cried,
For l hadn't got matches, and the place
was awful dark.
30 cuts INTO Dill Deu dIlu HIS pOChSLS LL1cs An-
stead,
When he ups and gives a grumble and blesses
both my eyes;
When 1 told him he was dead. he said he'd
punch my head,
A-picking of his pockets and a-telling of him
lies
I soon found he wasn't Dead but only fruz in
stead,
And the shark it thawed him quickly, for soon
he was quite well.
Then a roaring IRE we lit, and we roasted shark
bit,
And that shark he got quite hungry so deli
cious was the smell.
When we couldn't eat no more, we thought we'd
go ashore,
So we goes and cuts hatchway in the middle
of it's back,
And bride then we geared, and then the shark
we steeTed
Down south for New York city in less half
a, crack.
Now, this may seem absurd, but, if you doubt my
word,
Why, go to New York city and ask Mr.. Bar
nun there,
For he bought that shark, did he, which any one
may see,
And Bill and me is always known such a
truthful pair.

A MOONLIGHT PICNIC.
Party of Kenosha Young People Make
Merry at Pipers Grove.

About dozen young people from
this city were the participants in very
enjoyable moonlight picnic at Piper's
grove Thursday evening. The party
left the city early in the evening, and
as soon as they reached the grove they
made them selves decidedly at home.
A large fire was built upon the beach
and in old fashioned camping ways the
jolly crowd gathered around it and
passed the evening in a very pleasant
manner. At ten O'Clock a picnic din
ner was served, which was made even
more enjoyable by the addition of
roasted corn, which had found it's way
to the table from the surrounding
fields by way of the camp fire.
The party returned to this city on
the last car. Those present were Misses
Bessie Sherwood, Fisk, Washnurn,
Edith Sherwood and Hosefros, and
Messrs. Northway, Cleveland, Rogers,
Rimes and Goodenow.

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. 1 gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for a ply
stefan and it was under his care for a
week. At this time the child had been
sick for about ten days and was having
about twenty-five operations of the
bowels every twelve hours, and we
were convinced that unless it soon OBJ
tanned relief it would not live. Cham
ber1ain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was recommended, and I de-
cided to try it. l soon noticed a change
for the better; by its continued use a
complete cure was brought about and
it is now perfectly healthy. c. L.

EXPRESS TRAINS
That Run More Than u Mile Minuto
ON Regular Schedule.

That Run More Than a Mile Minute
on Regular Schedule.
The sixty minute flyers on both the
Pennsylvania and Reading railroads
to Atlantic City are establishing q
record for time this spring. The regu-
lar schedule time of the Pennsylvania
railroads Atlantic City flyer was 65
miles an hour from Camden to VIM
slow Junction, and Is miles an hour
from the latter point to Absecon.
There are two trains between Phila-
delphia and New York on the Penn
sylvania railroads regular schedule
that make a faster run every day in
the year. The Business Mems Express.
leaving Philadelphia at 1888 in the
morning, is scheduled at 1888 miles
per hour, while its mate, the p. m.
from New York, annihilates time at
the rate of 5000 miles per hour. All
things considered, these two trains are
really the fastest regular trains in the
country, and on sections Of the road.
notably between New Brunswick and
Trenton, their schedule speed is con-
siderable over a mile minute. The
sustained rate of speed, by the way,
on all express trains of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad between New York,
Philadelphia and Washington is fully
as high as that on ony other railroad.
Taking 50 trains in this group,the low.

Young Beare's Body Found.


This is the report brought to the city
last night by Fred Goldschmidt. Mr..
Goldschmidt says that he saw Pete
Lancaster yesterday, who told him
that one of the Welch boys told him
that man from Pratt county had
told him that some time ago the people
over in Pratt found the body of a
young man out in corn field. He
appeared to have been about eighteen
years of age and answered the descrip-
ton of young Beare perfectly. There
was every Indication that the body
had been hauled there in a wagon and
then dumped out, as the wagon tracks
could be plainly seen. The people
who found the body were unable to
identify it, and so it was buried in the
vicinity.
A party from the Beare neighbor-
hood have gone to Pratt to exhume
the body, and should it prove to be
young Beare there is strong PROBABLE
ity that the man who is suspected of
disposing of him may strike a quick
transit line to the great unknown.

SHORT CHIMNEY STACKS.

The Days Of the Tall Ones Arc Mum.
bersd, It IL Said.
The days of the tall, smoke belching
factory chimneys are numbered. ac-
cording to a writer in the Iron Trade
Review. Instead there are to be
short stacks and blowers. For illus
tration, the experience of a Boston
manufacturing firm is related.
Changes in the arrangement of the
works necessitated the removal of the
boiler plant, but it was out of the
question to take the chimney along.
In its stead fan blower was installed
on top Of the boilers, and provided
with special engine to drive it at
just the speed required. 1t is au-
tomatically regulated so that less than
one pound drop in steam pressure
greatly increases the draft, starts up
the fire, and brings the pressure back
to where it belongs. The fan works
by suction, draws the gases from the
boiler flue and forces them out through
a short stack extending only 81 feet
above the boiler-room floor. The
draught which may be produced IL
two or three times stronger than that
of the chimney which has been dis
carded. and is just as strong in all
kinds Of weather, while the cost, It
is said, Of the entire mechanical
draught equipment. including the
stack, has been less than one-half of
that of a new chimney. Because Of
the stronger draught much cheaper
fuel is burned, the saving being about
$1,000 year. It is possible with me-
chanical draught to use smaller boil
ers and still produce the required
amount Of steam.

Another Fatal Accident.

A most distressing accident occurred
over in the sand hills last Sunday af.
ternoon by which another of the young
boys OF this city lost his life. Arthur
Mlnton and three other little boys were
playing in a blowout, when a bank
caved and buried young Minton, caus-
ing his death. The boys were running
and jumping off of bank, which was
scarcely five feet high, but was slightly
undermined. Arthur jumped and then
crouched down back against the bank.
The other boys running to Jump over
him caused the bank to cave and he
was buried out of sight. The little
fellows tried to dig him out, but in
their excitement failed to find the right
place. Not finding him, they became
frightened and ran for assistance. Ed
ThOrwOrth was the first to arrive and
quickly released the little fellow, who
was found in STOPPING position, with
his hands over his face, and quite
dead.
Arthur was the son of Homer Min.
ton. of this city, and was about four
teen years of age. Hewas buried from
the Methodist church Monday after
noon and the funeral was attended by
q large cOncourse of his little school
friends and companions.

The topic for the evening was: "Our
Own Church; What Can We Do for
Herr" Psalm cxxii. Services were
led by L. r. Clark, who briefly pre-
sented the lesson and left the meet
ing open to every one Quite num-
Der of good points were made. Among
some OF the best were: We should be
loyal to our own church, while we
should join hands and work for Christ
with any other denomination. A great
many church members could go to the
lodges if they had worked ever SO
hard during the day, but they were
always too tired to go to church meet
ings through the week. We should, as
young church members, cultivate go
ing to church and take part in the
services.
