Another Spanish Excuse.

A belated war story comes from
Ponce, Porto Rico, and is told by
Lieutenant Juan Arato of the Spanish
engineers.
''When the war broke out" said the
lieutenant, I'VE found our supply OF
ammunition of all sorts was very low.
Some was new and some old; some was
black and some brown; some was old
fashioned and some was smokeless and
mysterious. There was one lot of
brown srsokeless powder which was
marked Use with care! Very power
full! Keep cool and dryr and to it was
attached a legend that it had burst a
Krupp field gun.
81 determined to try it. l employed
small charge in a gun, and to my
surprise it refused to go off. My gun
ners were very much disguised, and
one of them said: Bah, this is no good
for war. I'll use it for cooking our
supper
eve all jumped as he threw a double
handful into a small campfire. Judge
of our feelings when we saw the fire
go out. | afterward learned that pow
der of this sort deteriorates with age,
and that long before this case was
opened it was as harmless as sand"

Sherlock Holmes, Jr.

''That man has just taken drink
somewhere" said Sherlock Holmes,
Jr., "and he is not used to doing such
a thing"
But" the great amateur detectives
companion said, she doesn't stagger."
Il know it, and l never saw him
before. Yet 1 know that he has just
taken a drink of strong liquor, and
would not meet his wife at this mo-
ment for $57 in cash."
''You are a marvel, Mr.. Holmes. It
sometimes seems to me as if you must
be gifted with supernatural powers. -
'No, there is nothing supernatural
about it-merely the faculty of fixing
the relation of one fact to another
the ability to reason from observation u
"But how have you arrived at your
conclusion concerning this MANI"
"He looked all around suspiciously
before he spat his olive stone into the
gutter. A man that doesn't care and
is used to drinking always wants to
see how far he can flip the olive stone
with his thumb and index finger"

MEDALS FORLIBRARY
Uncle Sam Houston Presents His
Valuable COIeCtinn of Trophies
to the Memorial Library.
A KENosHA COUNTY MUSEUM

Mr. Simmons Announces That in Connec-
ton With the Library He will Provide
a Place for the Safe Keeping of the HIS
tor3c Relics of the County-A Valuable
Gift Received From Col w. W. Strong
in the way of a war History.
''Unc1e SAM Houston, of Mi1wau-
kee, was in Kenosha today and he
came for the express purpose of pre-
senting his large collection of valuable
trophies, won in many hard fought
contest at fairs and expositions, to
Hon. Z. G. Simmons, to be placed in
the library building when it is COM
p1eted. The collection of trophies is a
very valuable one and includes medals
granted at the local fairs and at the
national and international exposi-
tons. Some of them were for cattle
and others for dairy products. One
which is highly valued is a bronze
medal from the Centennial Exposition
at Philadelphia in 1876. This was
awarded to Mr.. Houston as prize for
butter. In the contest he was exhibit
ing against the world and this was
the only medal of the kind ever won
by a resident of Wisconsin. Mr..
Houston says that all the medals were
won by Kenosha county products and
that he desires the medals to become
the property of the county.
In connection with the announce
ment of the gift of Mr.. Houston, Mr..
Simmons announces that he will add a
very charming feature in connection
with the library in the way of mu-
scum for Kenosha county relics. For
this purpose he is planning to equip
one of the rooms in the basement of
the library. The room is fire proof
and light and airy and will be sp1en-
did place for the keeping of those
things which recall the early history
of the city and county. Already some
of the things which will be placed in
the room have been secured, and as
soon as the plans of Mr.. Simmons are
generally known many others will be
offered. One of the most interesting
of the gifts so far sent is gift from
Col. w. w. Strong, who has presented
to the library full and complete file
of the Chicago Times during the years
leading up to and throughout the civil
war. This is a history of the war
without an equal and it carries with it
an interesting resume of events of in
terest in the great Northwest. The
volumes are as yet unbound, but Mr..
Simmons will have them bound at
once and they will be on the shelves
as soon as the library is ready for the
use of the people of the city.
The work on the library is pro-
crossing very rapidly aid With the
first warm weather the work of 'Fn-
proving the grounds about the 1:..~rary
and monument has been started, This
work will require great deal of time,
but much of it will be done before the
dedicatory ceremonies on May 30th.

The entire community was shocked
Saturday by the announcement
that Thomas Irving, the well known
grain dealer, had committed suicide at
his home on Ashland Avenue. The sad
death of Mr.. Irving was discovered by
his daughter, who went to his room
shortly before eight O'Clock that morn
| ing and found her father lying dead
upon the floor near a closet in his
| sleeping room. A pool of blood, which
had flown from a wound in his left side,
and rife told the story OF the tragic
death of the we'll known citizen. The
neighbors were at once called in, but
it was evident that the father had died
before the arrival of the daughter. He
seems to have died instantly and no
marks of any struggle were found IN
the room. The undertaken was called
and Justice Slater was called to hold a
coroner's inquest.
There is no doubt but that the de-
ceased committed suicide during fit
of dependency. He has been about
the city for the past few days, but his
friends have observed that he was
laboring under a great mental strain.
He had experienced some slight finan-
cia1 losses and his wife had been i'll for
long while. It is thought that these
things caused him to become temporar-
lily insane. He went home early Fri
day evening, but spent sleepless
night. The members OF the family
heard him moving about several times
during the night. The next morning he
arose as usual and went out to the
barn. He returned to the house and
went to his bed room and few seconds
later the family heard the shot which
ended his lire. An examination showed
that the deceased had lain down on
the floor and aiming the rife at his
heart, had pushed the trigger with a
bed slot.
The deceased had been raised in Ke-
nosha and was well known to many
people in the city. He has always
been considered a successful business
man and is reported to be worth con-
siderable money. He was member
of the Masons and the Odd Fellows
fraternities and was we'll liked by the
members of both orders. He was about
fifty years of age. A wife and six
children survive. The condition of
Mrs. Irving is said to be very serious.
The shock of the sad death of her hus-
band has Frustrated her and fears are
entertained for her recovery.

More Sims

Admiral Dewey, who always knows
what he is talking about when he
talks about marine affairs, advises
that the government supply more ships
of war, more officers to command them,
and more marines to sail on them.
Yes, let them come the best and
auightiest that can be made. They
will be an infinitely more efficient de-
Tense than three or four forts in Nicar-
aqua that mig hit be hammered into
debris by the batt1eships of an enemy.
And, while we are building armored
vessels, let us increase the number of
orr carrying craft, that under the
Tseacefu1 8gis of commerce they may
1znfo1d the starry banner in every part
of the world. There is no sense in al
lowing the ships, even of our best
friend among the nations, to carry our
mails, our exports and our imports.
Azuerican merchant vessels were de-
q91orab1y scarce during the Spanish
war, and now we are scratching our
Republics head, 1amenting that the
struggle in South Africa has utilized
the British Transatlantic steamers.
Our manufactures and our products
are waiting in our ports, and even orr
mails must suffer the Inconvenience OF
delay.

CHRONIC KICKERs.

Some in Every Household in Kenosha
But They Are Growing Less.
Chronic kickers the kidneys are
when they're sick.
What makes the kidneys sick? A
simple thing.
They have too much to do.
Must keep up their work; they never
rest.
Can't blame them for kicking.
Ever have your kidneys kick?
Ever have bad back, lame, weak,
or aching one?
Know it's the kidneys kicking?
The back aches because the kidneys
are b1ockaded.
Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney
Pills do this.
It's the best proof, for it comes from
Kenosha.
Read this case:
Mr.. J. Weber, of 1912 Geneva street,
Racine, employed at Mi11er's shoe fac
tory, says: 81 tried Doan's Kidney
Pills and received so much positive
benefit from them that 1 recommend
the remedy to all who are in any way
troubled with their kidneys. Mine
we're very weak, and although I did
not suffer as much as some with back
ache, still the action Of the organs
was irregular, the secretions disco1ored,
contained sediment like brick dust,
and finally my whole system became
affected. From the first day I began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills my kid
neys grew stronger, performed their
work more naturally, and when
stopped taking them my health was
better than it had been in long
time"
Just such emphatic endorsement can
be had right here in Kenosha. Drop
