CONVINCING PROOF.
The Average Kenosha Citizen Must Ac-
cept the Following Proof:

The great Sir Isaac Newton, one of
the most profound reasoners the world
ever produced, once cut large hole in
a board fence to allow a favorite cat
access to two gardens, and cut a small
er hole to allow her kitten to follow
her. The weakness manifested in Sir
Isaac's action was due oto want of
thought. Any reader who mentally
debates the proof offered here about
Doan's Kidney Pills and arrives az
any other conclusion than that stated
in this citizens statement, is as short
of reasoning powers as the philosopher
when he turned carpenter.
Mr.. Robert Burt, of 537 Grand Ave,
painter at the Balm Wagon Works,
says. 81 never found any other kidney
remedy which did me as much good as
Doan's Kidney Pills. My kidneys had
been disordered for long time. The
principal symptoms showing it were
sca1ding and disordered kidney secre-
tons. I am not sure what first caused
the trouble, but think it was from
working SO much with paint, at least
know this had tendency to aggravate
it. I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at
Starkweather & Co.'s drug store and
before I had taken whole box I was
entirely relieved OF the sca1ding of the
kidney secretions and they were re-
stored to healthy COLOR
Sold for 50 cents a box. Foster

MAY VISIT KENOSHA,
Northwestern Road Asks KenOsha to
Invite FreepOrt Merchants As
citation to This City.
GREAT THING FOR THE CITY
More Than Seven Thousand People At
tended the Picnic Last Year and
More Are Coming This Year.

City Clerk Jacob received a letter
from the passenger agent of the
Northwestern Railway company this
morning asking that the people of Ke-
nosha extend an invitation to the Mer-
chants Association, of Freeport, ILL.,,
to hold their annual reunion and picnic
in this city during next month.
The gathering of the Freeport asso-
citation is the greatest gathering of the
kind held in the West. A year ago
the promoters of the picnic came to
Kenosha and were very favC~ab1y i'm
pressed with the advantages of this
city as a picnic center, but they had
already arranged to meet at Whitefsh
bay and KenOsha was left out. This
year they had almost decided to meet
at Racine, when the claims of Keno
sha were brought up again and the
balance is now in favor of this city.
All the merchants want is that the city
extend the invitation and they will do
the rest. At the picnic given by the
association last year at Whitehsh bay
seven thousand people were in attend
anCe and fully that many are expected
to attend the picnic this year. The
only question is: Does the city of Ke-
nosha want them to spend their money
in Kenosha, and if they do will the
city offer them a cordial invitation to
come?
The plans of the people interested is
to have the picnic held on Jacobs
Island, and certainly it would not be
possible for better place to be found.
Everything that assists in making the
Island an ideal place can be provided
on short notice, and as to expense to
the city, there will absolutely be moth
ing. Now let the city officials get to-
gether and show the Freeport mer-
chants that they will be welcome to
Kenosha and the great crowd will
come.

GOES TO PUEBLO.
Mrs. Marie Miller Elec ed superintendent

Mrs. Marie Miller Elec ed -r1ntendent
of Music In Colorado Clty's Schools.
Mrs. Marie Miller, who recently re-
signed her position as director of mu-
sic and drawing in the Kenosha
schools, received a telegram this morn
ing announcing that she had been
elected uperintendent of music in the
schools at Pueblo, Colorado. The po-
sition is one of the best in the gift of
the school directors of Colorado and
Mrs. Miller will receive a handsome
salary. For some time the board at
Pueblo have been negotiating for the
services of Mrs. Miller, but she had de-
sired to stay in Kerosha for this year
and then complete her work at the Art
institute in Chicago. However, the
call from Pueblo was so urgent and
offers such splendid opportunities for
the future that Mrs. Miller has decided
to accept it. She will leave for Colo
RADIO as soon as her duties in Kenosha
are finished.
The pupils and patrons of the Keno
sha schools will wish Mrs. Miller the
greatest possible success in her new
field of labor.

By the Sterling Employees

By the Sterling Employees
Mr.. James T. Quinn has resigned his
position at the Sterling factory and
together with his family he will leave
in the near future for a visit at his old
home in Canada. After travelling for
several months in Canada he will re-
turn to the states and make a tour Of
the Eastern states. He has not as yet
declared where he will locate.
The departure of Mr.. Quinn from
Kenosha will be regretted by many.

ling for several years and has always
been great favorite with the manag-
ers and employees of the factory.

gathered together and presented Mr.
Quinn with a handsome gold watch,

token of the high esteem in which he
was held by the men employed under
him.

$500, 900 Mortgage to Chicago Parties

was placed there yesterday afternoon
by the officials of the Kenosha Gas and
Electric company. The mortgage is
given to the American Trust and Saw
ings Bank of Chicago and Frank H.

the heating plant. The mortgage is a
very long one and contains copies of
the incorporation papers of the COM

property covered by the document. It

as the government is concerned, as a
total of $50 worth of stamps appears
on the original document.
The mortgage states that the bonds
of the company are in $500 denomin-
atoms and payable at the option of the

HOME NOW OPEN,
SeVenty-fiVe Homeless Children Come
From Chicago to Spend Summer
at Pier Cottage.
LITTLE HEARTS MADE GLAD
Many improvements Have Been Made
Sister Thecla Takes Place of Sister
Augusta - An Appeal For Aid.

Pier Cottage, the Summer home of
the sisters of ST. Mary, which is used
as the summer home for the homeless
children of Chicago, was opened for
the season this morning and the trains
from Chicago brought seventy five
homeless children to spend the Sum
mer at the home on the Lake shore,
South of Kemper Hail. The children
are from all parts of Chicago and have
been the charges of the sisters at their
home on Washington Boulevard dur
ing the year just past. Most of them
are very young but many OF them
have been there for several years and
the homecoming this morning was IN
the way of a reunion. But to some OF
them the homecoming was sad one,
as it recalled the tragic death of Sister
Augusta who was in charge of the
home during the last few years. TO
take the place of the deceased Sister,
Sister Thec1a has come from the home
in Chicago and will have charge of the
work in Kenosha. Since the cottages
were closed last last fall a new cottage
has been built which will greatly
facilitate the work of the sisters. It
is the largest cottage on the grounds
and will be used as a school room and
a dormitory.
The work of the home will begin to-
morrow. The school will be opened
with classes in sewing, cooking and IN
all the other arts, as we'll as rooms
where the common branches will be
taught.
It should be remembered that the
home is supported entirely by the free
gifts of the people of Illinois and Wis
consin and in the past the people OF
Kenosha have taken an important part
of the support of the home upon them
selves.
Mrs. J. H. Kimba11, who has charge
of the raising Of funds for the home,
has issued the following appeal for aid
to the people of Kenosha:
est Mary's Home for Children will
be opened today. The Sisters have
had more calls than ever before tC
afford shelter and care to poor children
and have felt obliged to answer another
urgent need by establishing free
beds for young girls who are destitute,
and to whom a home for few weeks
in the fresh air of the country and the
influence of a good life may recover
bodily and moral health for the rest OF
their lives. The Sisters have been
obliged to go to an expense of over
thousand dollars to build more rooms
to the home, and as yet are in debt for
it, Kenosha has for years seemed &c
feel it a privilege to care for Gods
poor-thus brought to our very doors
and we are sure will sustain the Sisters
in adding to the numbers and class tc
whom we may minister. "The field is
the world, - and we in Kenosha to whom
has been given so much, cannot better
show our thankfu1ness than by helping
those so much less Fortunate"

WILL SPEND $4,000.
New Gas and Electric Company to Com
rnence on Large Extensions at once,

New Gas and Electric Company to Com
noence on Large Extensions at once.
The Kenosha Gas and Electric Com
pany is now ready for business and 1t
is announced that the company will at
once begin the extensions of their
lines to other parts of the city. For
this purpose the company have de-
cided to spend $4,000 of the 100000
set aside for improvements during the
coming summer. The first work to be
taken up will be the extension OF the
gas mains. For some time the west
part of the city has been without the
privileges of gas and now mains will
Re laid for the use of both illuminating
and fuel gas. Several miles of mains
will be laid within the next few months
But the company will not stop with
the gas mains as they have already
made plans for the extension of the
heating plant to other parts of the city.
At the close of the first season the
heating plant had patronage of less
than fifty customers, but the demand
for the heat next year is large and men
will be put to work in the near future
to extend the mains in order that all
who wish it may be supplied.
The last improvement which is
planned is the erection of new power
house for the electric light and heating
plants. 1t will probably be located on
the site of the present one, but will be
built from the ground up and will be of
the most modern architecture and the
equipments will be second to none in
the state.
The new company are starting right
and Notwithstanding the announce
ment of the large extensions It s re-
ported that in the near future a reduc-
ton will be made by the company in
the rates charged for the utilities sup
piled by them.
