Fire Could Not Have Been More
Painful.

"After spending two years in TAX
ing all kinds Of medicines that were
suggested for eczema, but without
avail, my mother was induced to take
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The result was
wonderfully gratifying. Her limbs
had been terribly laccrated by the dis
ease, and there were times when fire
could not have been more painful.
She was, in fact, almost wild. Two
bottles Of Hoods Sarsaparilla com.
pletely cured her, and not a trace OF
eczema was left" Z. w. DECKER,

Former County Judge of Kenosha SUI
fers a Stroke of Paralysis on
tuesday Evening.
LEFT SIDE is MADE HELPLESS.
The Judge Had Been in Usual Health When
the Stroke Came without any Warn
ing.-Doctors Hope for Recovery.

Judge Anthony Van Wyck, for many
years Judge of the County court of
Kenosha county, and we'll known to
almost every resident of the city, is
very seriously i'll at the home of his
son, Howard Van Wyck, in Mi1wau
kee. The illness is the result of a
stroke of paralysis, which came with
out any warning early Tuesday morn
ing.
The Judge had been in his usual
health on Monday evening when he
retired to his room, but awoke during
the night and complained of being i'll.
A little later he suffered the stroke of
paralysis which rendered his left side
helpless. DR.. P. F. Rogers is attend
ing him, and hopes are entertained for
his recovery.
The announcement that Judge Van
Wyck had suffered a stroke of paralysis
caused universal sorrow in Kenosha
where he is so well known and anxious
inquiries have been made all day as to
his condition. He was so closely connec-
ted with the life of Kenosha during the
last twenty years that he made friends
with nearly every one in the city. He
retired from service in this county a
little over four years ago and since his
retirement he has been spending his
win ters in Georgia. He had intended
to leave for his home in the South
early next week.
Judge Van Wyck has passed his
seventy-ffth year and on account of
his declining years it is feared that his
entire recovery from the result of the
stroke is almost impossible. The lat
est message received from Milwaukee
states there is no change in his condi-
ton today, but the doctors hope that
he will improve in few days.

County Court Decides That She is,a
Daughter of Richard Collier, De-
ceased, and May Share Estate.
OLD COLLIER CASE is SETTLED
Mrs. Betsy Woodward, Who Contested the
Estate, Compromises With the Other
Heirs and Shares in the Estate.

After fighting for more than four
years to esta b1ish her right to por-
ton of the estate of Richard Collier,
Mrs. Betsy Woodward won a victory
over the other heirs to the estate in the
County Court Tuesday afternoon, and
the decision which has been placed on
file in the court records not only reCog-
nizes her as daughter of Collier, but
makes it possible for her to share in
the division of the estate.
The settlement of the estate has been
in the courts of the county for more
than four years. Richard Collier died
years ago, leaving a large estate con-
sisting of lands, in the town of SOM
ers, and large amount of personal
property. AS far as could be learned
his sole surviving blood relation was
Betsy Woodward, who was claimed to
be an i11egitimate daughter of the de-
ceased. For many years Mrs. Wood
ward had resided with Collier and had
assisted him in caring for the farm,
but when he died he had made no pro-
vision for her. During the next three
years an 0HOrC Was n1dUG 10 secure the
estate for Mrs. Woodward and the
point was finally decided against her.
She at once demanded pay for services
from the estate and in this manner she
managed to receive about two thousand
dollars from the estate. Later she
started suit to recover her part of the
property and it was finally settled by
means of a compromise. By the terms
of the compromise Mrs. Woodward is
recognized as the daughter of Collier
and she receives fifty acres of land
from the estate. This is about one
third of the estate and for this consid-
Grafton she has signed quit claim deeds
to the remainder of the heirs of the es-
tate and the case is finally settled.
The case has been fought in the To-
cal courts for several years and many
of the best known lawyers in Southern
Wisconsin have been interested in the
outcome of the case.

The Board of Education Will Amend
the Rules for the Benefit of the
Boys and Girls.
APPOINTED A NEW JANITOR.
Anton Jensen Will no Longer be Janitor of
the Central School and ]. NJ. Scholey
Was Elected His Successor.

The board of education met in regu-~
lar session at the city hall Tuesday
evening, but little business of import
ance was transacted.
The most important business of the
session was a notice of change in the
rules served by Commissioner Hack1ey.
For some time there has been great
deal of complaint on account of the
fact that the grounds about the differ
ent schools are noe open for the use OF
the pupils, and the amendment to the
rules will provide that the grounds be
open to the pupils before the ringing
of the first bell in the morning and
during the noon intermission. The
rule will also be amended SO as to make
it necessary for scholars to leave the
grounds when school is dismissed in
the afternoon. With the adoption of
the new rule a long felt want will be
filed. For some time people residing
near the school have made complaints
shat the children used the streets for a
playground and this evil will be avoid
ed when the new rule goes into effect.
Another action of the board was the
discharge of Anton Jensen, as ianitor
of the Central building, and the APP
pointment of ]. M. Scho1ey to take the
position, beginning the first of Janu-
airy. This action came as great sur
| prise to Jensen, as we'll as to many
members of the board. There were no
complaints against the work of Jensen
presented, but it seems that the whole
F.. matter of the employment of the new
| ianitor had been cut and dried before
| the meeting. Before the discharge of
the present janitor and the appoint
ment of his successor, a motion was
! carried to reduce the salary of janitor
from SIS to 500 month.
The board then proceeded to elect
ianitor and Scho1ey received ten of the
| thirteen votes.
The friends of Jensen are consider
ably incensed over the treatment ac-
corded him and open claims are made
he was discharged on account of his
politics. Members of the board were
seen today state that the work of Jen-
sen had not been satisfactory for some
time, and it was deemed best to get an
other man for the position. The sal
airy was reduced on account of the fact
that the change in the heating appara-
tus at the school has greatly reduced
the work of the janitor and in the
future it will not be necessary to hire
an assistant.
The resignation of Miss Jessie Hub
bard was received and accepted, and
the teachers committee was given
power to select a successor to Miss
Hubbard.
The board accepted an invitation to-
attend the convocation of state school
boards in Milwaukee during Christmas
week and after little routine business
the board adjourned.

The popular idea expressed in the
phrase, vthe art of self-defense," shows
the opinion that the chief enemies man
has to defend himself from are visible
and external. But the real danger of
every man is from minute and often in
visible foes. In the air we breathe and
the water we drink are countless minute
organisms 1eagued against the health OF
the body.
The one defense against these enemies
is to keep the blood pure. DR.. P1erce's
Golden Medical Discovery thoroughly
purifes the blood, removing poisonous
substances and accretions. When the
blood is pure there is no harborage for
the germs of disease which find a 1odg-
ing only when the blood is impure and
corrupt.
UI consider your Golden Medical Discovery
one of the best medicines the face of the
earth writes Mr.. VIM. Floeter, of Redoak,
Montgomery Co., Iowa. "Whi1e in the south
west three years ago, got poisoned with pol
son ivy The poison settled in my blood and
I thought I would go crazy. I tried different
kinds of medicine tried different doctors, but
all the relief they could give me was to make my
pocket-book lighter. I then began taking DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Took four
bottles without relief Kept taking it. took
in all ten bottles and got entirely cured"

The Rev. Charles Lewis Mallory is
Instituted as Rector of st. Mat
thew's Church This Morning.
A SOLEMN IMPRESSIVE SERMON
Institution is Conducted by The Rt. Rev.
I. L. Nicholson, Bishop of the Diocese.
Sermon by Rev. Ernst III. Stires.

One of the most beautiful and inn
pressive services ever held in church
in Kenosha was held this morning
when the Rev. Charles L. Mallory,
Dean of the Milwaukee Diocese, was
pub1ica11y instituted as the rector OF
St. Matthew's Episcopal church.
The service was held at ten o'clock
and the church was we'll filed with the
members of the congregation and
friends of the parish. Within the altar
rail were seated many of the ministers
of the diocese, who took part in the OBJ
servance of the morning prayer and
the institutional service which fol-
lowed.
The institution of Rev. Mr. Mallory
was conducted by Bishop Nicholson,
who was assisted in his offices by the
Rev. F. L. Maryon, rector of Kemper
Hall.
Immediately after the completion OF
the observance of morning prayer Rev.
Mallory entered the chance1 and was
met at the altar rail by the Bishop and
the senior and junior wardens of the
church. The Bishop read the service
of institution from the ritual of the
church, after which O. M. Calkins,
senior warden of the church, in few
words turned over the keys to the new
Rector of the church and parish. The
new Rector received the trust placed IN
him and stepped within the altar rail
and received from the hands OF the
Bishop the bible and the other records
and books of the church, after which
the Bishop pronounced the benediction.
After the services in the chance1 the
Rev. Ernest Mi11more Stires, Rector
of Grace Episcopal church, Chicago,
preached the institutional sermon
from the text, ''Beho1d I and the Chill
dren God Has Given Men, After the
sermon Mr.. Mallory was sa1uted and
welcomed by the wardens and vestry
of the church on behalf of the whole
parish.
Rev. Mr.. Mallory has now been con-
nected with St. Matthew's parish for
little over three months and his Sue
cess as Rector of the parish is assured.
Under his management the parish is
in better condition than ever before.
When Mr.. Mallory came to Kenosha
the church was in a semi-dis-
organized condition, but under his
careful and judicious management the
the parish is rapidly gaining in mem
bership and influence. Since the new
Rector came to Kenosha a large
amount of work has been done in inn
proving the parish property.
The rectory has been improved with
a new roof; the interior of the rectory
has been re-decorated and the city heat
has been added. These improvements
were added largely through the work
of the ladies of the church, who are
deserving of great credit for the work.
The entire people of Kenosha will be
pleased to congratulate ST. Matthew's
church on the institution of a rector
who is so popular with the members
of the parish and with the people of
the city.
