Unparalleled Soap Selling

We have sold in two days about 1000
bars of the SCHOCH'S BEST SOAP, sold
to US by Peet Bros. of Kansas City, at a
great reduction on account of having
Schoch's name stamped on It. That this
soap was manufactured by Peet Bros,
one of the largest and most reliable soap
manufacturers in the United States, who
make none but the best goods, is suffi-
cient guarantee that there is none bet
ter made. We are selling quantities Of
this soap to consumers who used it be-

SAFETY TRAIN DEVICES
THEIR OPERATION IS MADE COM
PULSORY AFTER AUG. I, OF
THIS YEAR
RAILROADS ARE LABoRING
1t Is Serious Problem With Some
to Strictly Comply Within
the Time Limit
Named.

The law passed by congress March 2,
1888, relating to railroad safety appli-
ances, must be complied with before Aug
!, this year. The law requires every
railroad engaging in interstate commerce
to equip its cars with power or train
brakes and automatic couplers The
statute makes provision that if the rail-
roads Of the country fail to afford these
appliances, any employe receiving injury
shall not be deemed to have assumed any
risk by continuing in service even though
he knew that the trains were not prop
erly equipped.
During December of last year a num-
Der of railroads, including several oper-
ating in Northwestern territory, made
application to have the limit of the law
extended in order to give more time in
which to comply with it's provisions. At
that time the limit of time in which roads
are compelled to provide the new appli-
ances was extended until Aug. l. When
the law was passed, out of the tremen-
dous amount of equipment in the United
States, only % per cent was provided
with power brakes and automatic coup
lers. Four years later the percentage
was SO and the per cent of cars provided
with automatic couplers had increased to
so. The number of railway employees
killed while on duty for the year ending
June 80, 1893, was 2,727, and for the years
1898 the number was decreased to 1883.
On the first day of the present year SO
per cent of freight cars in service were
provided with automatic couplers, and SO
per cent with air or power brakes. Since
the first of the year tremendous efforts
nave been made by all lines to complete
the work before the expiration of the
time limit
OF the roads operating in this terri
tory, only a few are still far behind in
complying with the law. The Great
Northern and Northern Pacific have re-
moved nearly every old coupler on their
systems, and the Omaha and North
western, as well as the Milwaukee and
Burlington, have advanced the work SO
far that there is little doubt of their
ability to comply with the strict letter
of the law.
The following table, compiled by the
American Railroad association commit
tee, shows the number of cars yet to be
equ pped and the number that have been
equipped as we'll as the progress since
last year. The figures for 1899 are COM
piled from reports of 191 roads and those
for 1900 from 174 roads.

The action of the two aldermen is
generally condemned by all people re-
CARELESS of party affiliations. 1t may
be that Poormaster Berens is too old
to attend to the duties of poormaster,
but it is certainly not necessary that
his shortcomings should be the target
for any such an attack as the one made
upon him.
The remainder of the meeting of the
Council was of an uninteresting ma
ture. The acceptance to the street
railway ordinance filed by Haynes and
Clausen was received and spread upon
the minutes, but no action taken in
regard to it.
The Modern Woodmen were given
the use of all the streets on Washing
ton Island FOR their picnic on Friday
and the invitation for the Mayor and
Council to take part in the parade was
accepted.
The residents of South Exchange
street asked that two electric lights be
placed on that street, and the matter
was referred to the proper committee.
The residents of the same street also
presented a verba1Rpetition asking that
the street be improved and it is posi-
bic that the council will see fit to pave
the street during the present year.
The report of the poormaster showed
that there were 10 families with 54
people receivingsfu11 support from the
city and 4 families with II people re-
ceiving partial support. The poor
house has 10 inmates.
The report of the City Treasurer
showed cash balance Aug. of SILL

ROW OVER POOR,
Aldermen Smith and Pirsch Condemn
the Action OF Poormaster Berens
in Regard to the Paupers.
THE LIE FREELY PASSED
Alderman in Sorry Plight on Account OF
Action on Street Railway Matter.
(From Tuesday Daily.)

The meeting of the city council at
the city hall last evening was indeed a
revelation, as it brought to light the
fact that two men elected by the people
to care for the interests of the city, were
willing to instigate an attack on an old
man, who, is nearing the age of three
score years and ten, and make an at
tempt to throw a cloud over the reputa-
ton of one of the Oldest and best liked
citizens of Kenosha.
The whole trouble came up in regard
to the paupers under the care of the
city. AT former meeting a resolution
had been offered to have all the bills
for the paupers signed by the pauper
committee, and this was the cause of
last evenings trouble. George
Berens, the !, old man now nearly
seventy, who was elected poormaster,
was the target of torrent of abuse.
He came to the council meeting with
faltering step and made an effort to
tell the aldermen of the differences be-
tween the committee and the poor
master. He said that an alderman had
away from the poor house and that the
committee had absolutely refused to
give him any support in the manage
ment of the affairs of the poor depend
ents of the city. The old man went
further and stated that some of the
members of the committee were work
ing against the interests of the city by
refusing to help in the reduction of the
expenses to the city on account of the
paupers. AS the old man stood before
the council with his hair. white as the
drifted snow, falling down about his
head and his feet lettering under him,
a most disgracefu1 scene was enacted.
Aid. Smith got up in his chair and
in answering the statements of the old
poormaster he declared that the man
making the statements was God
damned liar All the Council turned
aside feeling the disgrace of such
statement to the old man and the poor
master simply bowed his head and
Withdrew from the enclosure. Then to
add to it all Aid. Pirsch took a hand
and reiterated the statements of Smith,
calling the old man liar and throw
ing mud at the character of old Mr..
Berens by saying that he had been
favoring certain ones on the poor list.
Buxom widows and pretty girls were
alluded to often and the alderman did
all ali he could to besnirch the char
acter of the poormaster. OF course the
Council could not stand for such talk
and prompt adjournment was taken.

BELLE ROBERTSON INJURED.
we'll Known Kenosha Lady Injured on a
northwestern Train at Milwaukee.

Miss Belle Robertson, who lives at
the residence Of Miss Bart1ett's, met
with very serious accident Monday
afternoon on a Northwestern train in
Milwaukee. Miss Robertson had been
visiting in Milwaukee and had started
to return to Kenosha on the train 1eav-
ing Milwaukee at 4 O'Clock. AS she
was walking down the aisle of the car
some one had left satche1 in the CEN
ter of the aisA and Miss Robertson
tripped her foot on the obstruction and.
fell heavily against the arm of one OF
the seats. By the fall two of the ribs
of the lady were broken. She came.
on to her home in Kenosha and DIR. @.
H. Ripley was called to attend her.
The injury is in no way a dangerous
one and Miss Robertson lis expected to
be able to be about again in about two
weeks. The accident is said to have
been the result of care1essness on the
part of the passenger and was no fault
of the railway company.

TAKE THEIR TRUNKS AND GO
Maggie and Lizzie Burns Leave Home
.Ta1 Mysteriouslv-Father SATISFIED.

The two daughters of Henry Burns,
Maggie and Susie, aged respectively
sixteen and seventeen, have left home
and the father is in entire ignorance
of their whereabouts. The last Mr..
Burns saw of his daughters was on
Saturday night. They left home early
in the evening and did not return. The
father surmised that they had gone on
the excursion to Muskegon, and, on in
quiring this morning, found such to be
theecase. The girls did not report at
home, however, and nothing had been
learned pointing to their wherea bouts
until Mr.. Burns discovered that they
had had their trunks and other proper
ty removed from the house during his
absence. What is the purpose of the
girls, or their motive in leaving,
Mr.. Burns does not pretend to know.
There had been no serious trouble
between the father and daughters far
Their than little rebuke for being out
late nights. Mr.. Burns says they are
old enough to know their own minds
and that he will make no attempt to
locate them.

A CEMETERY ASSOCIATION.
An Effort Is Being Made to Organize one
in This City.

An1mber of citizens of the city are
making an effort to form a society to
insure the better care of graves in the
City cemetery. Not that they have
any complaint to find with the efficient
services of Sexton Wallis and his
assistants, for their work is all that
could be desired, but there are many
graves in the cemetery that have long
since been forgotten and probably
neglected. The people who have laid
their loved ones to rest in the cemetery
have moved away from the city and
many Of them have long since been
laid to rest themselves, leaving no one
to care for the graves in this city. In
a few years the cemetery has grown to
such an extent that the sexton has no
time to look after these graves without
remuneration, and for this reason the
grass has been allowed to grow long and
the graves have assumed an appear
ance not in keeping with the surround
ings at the cemetery.
To give a remedy for this evil the
citizens would form cemetery associ-
alton incorporated under the state law
and under the management of the City
Council. OF course no one would be
required to join the association. but its
membership list would be open to all.
The plan, which has been tried II
other cities, has proved great sue
cess. It is as follows:
The citizens form an association to
s @ul %orx
and each member pays to the associa-
ton stated sum for each grave to be
tended. This money is either invested
or placed at interest and in this man
uer it furnishes steady income to as
sure the living that the graves of their
dead will be kept in proper shape.
The cost of Darlington cemetery lot
for year would amount to about So
and the promoters of the association
hold that if the members are willing
to invest 500 in the association they
will Be assured that the lot will be
properly cared for in all future years.
Wherever the plan has been proposed
it has met with universal endorsement
and the only thing that is now needed
is to have some one take the initiative
and see that the association is properly
formed. 1t has been proposed by one
of the men actively interested in the
plan that the city organize a cemetery
association, and that the money thus
secured from holders of lots in the city
cemetery be taken and used for the
payment of the city debt. This would
bring quite a sum of money into the
Golfers of the city treasury and in re-
turn the entire burden of caring for the
cemetery would become a public one.

ATTACKED WITH LOCKJAW.
Carl Madsen, of Pleasant Prairie. Is in
Terrible Condition With the Disease.

Carl Christian Madsen, a farmer
living in the town of Pleasant Prairie,
is suffering with an attack of 1ockjaw
at home of Mrs. Peter Frecker on Park
street and little hope is entertained for
his recovery. The man was seized
with the dread disease yesterday and
his jaws are firmly locked and it Is inn
possible to give him any nourishment
except in liquid form. Madsen works
on a farm in Pleasant Prairie and a
short time ago while he was employed
in building fence he drive rusty nail
into his knee, causing a painful
wound. However it was not thought
that the wound was of a dangerous
nature and in short time it healed up.
It became sore again on Sunday and
Monday 1ockjaw set in.
The man is under the care of DR..
Jorgenson and is suffering untold
agony. Everything is being done to
allay his suffering but it is feared that
he cannot survive more tban-a few
days..
This is the second case of lock jaw
