GOSPEL OF HATE.
Mrs Frances Andrus Takes to the Street
Corners to Prevent Enemies Profting.

Preaching the gospel of hate Mrs.
Frances F. E. Andrus came to Keno
sha last night and took up her
stand on the street corner to tell of
the merits of her discoveries in the
world of dermato1ogy. Mrs. Andrus
has gained great renown in the last
few months on account of the unique
methods she has adopted to get even
with certain doctors in Chicago whom
she claims have defrauded her. She is
not going about the country in search
of money, but is simply making an
effort to prevent the men who stole
from her her secrets reaping a golden
harvest as result of their theft
Mrs. Andrus made a remarka bic dis
covery for the cure of certain scalp
diseases. Some years ago she was en-
p1oyed at salary of $4,000 a year to
treat cases in the Garfield park sani-
tarium. However, when her secret
was discovered by the physicians in
charge she was turned adrift and the
secret was utilized by the erstwhi1e
partners. A company was formed to
sell the compounds made by the wo-
man and to prevent the sale of these
products Mrs. Andrus left her home in
Chicago and started to make tour of
the country. She is not seeking to
sell, but offers to give away not only
her secrets but also the treatment for
disease.
The formulas for the manufacture of
the remedies are distributed freely and
all who will have it are free to receive
treatment from her without money and
without price. She has travelled to
many cities near Chicago paying her
own bills for the sole purpose of pre-
venting the doctors from making any
thing of what she alleges they stole
from her. She will remain in Kenosha
several DAYS.

served in Kenosha, for at the meeting
of the Fred S. Lowell post, G. A. r.,

arrangements to drape the graves OF
their dead comrades with flowers on
Memorial day. The Memorial day ser
vices will be of an impressive nature.

solemn procession to the city cemetery.
The exercises Of the day will be held

post and will speak in the schools of
the city on the evening of May 9th.
Commander James was one of the
heroes who endured the hardships of
Andersonvil1e prison and he will
speak of the prison life to the school
children.
In the evening of the same day the
Fred S. Lowell post will have its an

G.. A. r. men from different parts Of
the State will attend. The ceremonies
will be conducted by Department Com
mander James and the Woo1cott post,
G. A. R., of Milwaukee, will attend in

One of the interesting features of
the meeting of the post Monday even
ing was the reading of letter written
by Mrs. Corde1ia Perrin Harvey wife of
Wisconsin's war governor. Inc letter
had never been made public before and
for this reason it was of exceeding in
terest to the old soldiers as we'll as to
ali people interested in the war history
of Wisconsin. In the letter the wife
of the governor recalled the days of
war time and told of interesting inter-
views which she had had with Presi-
dent Lincoln and Secretary Stanton in
regard to the establishment of hospital
camps for the. sick and wounded SOL
diers amidst the bracing airs of the
north.
o The letters, while of personal ma
ture, brought out some new phases of
the personal characteristics of the men
who served the nation during the try
ing days of civil warfare. The letters
were especially interesting to the great
hosts of Wisconsin soldiers and it is
stated that in the near future they will
be published by a well known maya
zine.

wANDREYKA WILL SETTLE.
Man Injured in the Beck Saloon Explosion
Offers to Make a settlement.

Attorney Jackman, of Madison, APP
peared before the city council last
night and asked that the aldermen
take some steps to settle the claim of
Theodore Wandreyka against the city.
Wandreyka was a travelling man re-
siding at Lacrosse, Wis, and at the
time of the Beck explosion he was
transacting business in Kenosha. He
was walking on Main street near the
saloon when the explosion occurred
and was blown across the street.
The man was terribly injured and
forty-two pieces of glass were removed
from his person after the accident.
Some time ago he served a notice on
the officials that he would claim dam
ages, but Attorney Jackman stated
that Wandreyka was willing to settle
his claim againstthe city if the latter
would consent to pay the doctor bills.
This would amount to something like
1920. No action was taken by the
council more than to refer the matter
to the committee on claims with the
city attorney added.
Wandreyka is the only person in
iured in the accident that has ever
made any demand upon the city for
damages on account of the explosion.

Howard Robinson Will Wed Miss Ella
Euegin, Milwaukee Young Lady.

Announcement has been made of the
engagement of William Howard Rob-
inson, the we'll known Main street
business man, and Miss Ella Huegin,
of Milwaukee. The engagement came
as a surprise to many of the friends of
Mr.. Robinson, but he is receiving the
hearty congratulations of his friends
today. AS yet the time of the we'd
ding has not been set, but it will prob
ably take place late in the summer.
Miss Huegin, the bride to be, is one

COOPER AND THE CUBANs.
wisconsin Congressman Holds That Cubans
Are Learning Lessons in Government.

Dependencies and colonial policy,
even though it is but hardly initiated,
will mean possibilities to govern
ment officials. To this statement,
Representative Cooper, of Wisconsin,
will probably acquiesce with loud
amen. To attend the state dinner
given to the Cuban Commissioners he
was obliged to travel full thousand
miles. It was necessary that he, being
Chairman of the Committee on In
su1ar Affairs of the House, should be
present when the Commissioners were
entertained, and SO he was bid to be
present. When he received the urgent
summons from the President he was
IN Wisconsin with important business
on his hands. But neither the dis
lance nor the business was to be con-
s;1ered as against the necessity of his
presence at the state dinner. So he
came and will in few days have the
same route to travel over again, re-
turning to his state and his business.
Mr.. Cooper is satisfied that the best
results are to be expected from the trip
of the Cubans to the United States. ST
think that this will settle the whole
natter-perhaps not all at once-but
it will eventually. The Cubans are be-
ing careful. They are so1icitous of the
future, and it seems to me justly so.
They want to be sure of the construc-
ton of the Plat amendment before
they go ahead and accept it. They de-
sire to be certain that the powers Of
the United States are behind it. A par
al1e1 situation might have arisen just
after our Revolution. Suppose France
after having helped us to become free,
had said: Here is law which we ex-
oect you to incorporate in your consti-
cution.' Do not you think that the
makers of the constitution would have
sent Ben Franklin or some one else to
represent us at the French court, and
TO find out what the French meant by
their law? Of course they would, and
what would have been commendab1e in
us is commendab1e in the Cubans
now '-Washingt Times.

CELEBRATE ARBOR DAY.
Interesting Ceremonies Take Place at the
Country Club Tuesday.

There was an interesting celebration
of Arbor Day at the grounds of the
Kenosha Country Club Tuesday after
noon, and, as a result of the Ce1ebra-
ton, the grounds of the club about the
club house have been greatly improved.
The entertainment which was of a
social nature was under the direction
of the ladies of the social committee.
Invitations were sent to every member
of the club and each was asked to bring
or send tree or shrub to assist in the
decoration of the club house. Tuesday
afternoon the members of the club
gathered at the club house and pro-
ceeded to plant the trees and shrubs.
There were five large trees and half a
hundred vines and shrubs. All were
set out about the club house and while
the men were at work planting the
trees the members of the club sang
songs suita bic to the occasion.
After the shrubs had all been planted
the crowd returned to the club house
where a luncheon was served.
The celebration of Arbor Day was
the first social event Of the season at
the club house and it proved a most
en- joyab1e one.

manner that they will not interfere
with events arranged by the Western
Golf association.
A number of new members were adj
rnitted to the club at the meeting last

Manager F. B. M1lllgan, OF Wisconsin TeIe-
phone Company Gets Promotion.
Manager Fred B. Mi11igan, for the
last seven years in charge of the office
of the Wisconsin Telephone company
in this city, severed his relations with
the local office this afternoon and to-
morrow he will go to Ashland to be-
come the manager of the Ashland office
of the company. 1t is we'll earned
promotion for the young manager, as
Ashland is one of the most important
stations of the telephone company in
the state. It now has a business of
over 900 phone and constant additions
are being made.
Mr.. Mi1ligan has practically built up
the telephone business in Kenosha.
When he came to this city in the
spring Of 1894 there was less than
seventy-fve phones in use in Kenosha
but thanks to his hard work the COM
pany are now operating nearly three
hundred instruments in the city. Dur
ing the time the service has been
greatly extended and a new system
has been built up in the city.
With the departure of Mr.. Mil1igan
John r. Gibson will take charge of the
local office.

PERSISTED BY QUEER FATALITY
Aged Racine woman, After One Narrow
Escape, Dies by Fire.

Mrs. Kate Brunton, aged so years
and a resident of Racine for fifty
years, was burned to death Saturday
night. In some manner her house
caught fire and she couldn't get out.
Six years ago Mrs. Brunton, her hus-
band, and a neice were overcome by
coal gas. The neice and husband both
died from the effects, and Mrs. Brunton
lowered between life and death for a
week.
The evidence produced at the inquest
showed that the old lady had been
smoking in bed, and that the clothes
catching fire she had attempted to es-
cape out had fallen near the door,
where her remains were found. The
jury returned a verdict of accidental
death.

BUYS RATEGAN FARM.
John E. Heating to Secure Valuable Prop
erty West of City, Near Limits.

erty West of City, Near Limits
John E. Heating, the we'll known
saloon man, has secured an option on
the William Rategan farm which joins
the city near West Prairie avenue.
The deal is not yet completed, but it is
thought that the option will result in
a sale within a few days. The price
demanded is SIS, 900.
The property is almost directly south
of the land that is now being plated
by John Corcoran, and it is thought
that as soon as the property is trans
ferred to Mr.. Heating it, also, will be
plated and offered for sale in the way
of building lots.
These Western suburbs promise to
become very popular in the near future,
and real estate men think that Mr..
Heating has made an exceeding1y good
purchase.

TAKE A NEW CENSUS
Salem and Bristol Men Bet on Population
and Census is Being Taken to Decide.

and Census is Being Taken to Decide.
The villages of Salem and Bristol, in
the western part Of the county are in
wordy war in regard to population and
Salem is disputing the claim of Bristol
~ being the second largest city in the
'y5unt5. This dispute has grown ami
mated and the farmers have talked it
over the back fences until they have
decided that the matter must be set
tied. A few days ago Bristol and
Salem met in one of the other towns
and decided to fight the matter out.
Each town was represented by man
with long bank roll and the two soon
managed to place large wager on the
size of the two towns, each backing
his home village.
To decide the matter it was decided
that a special census should be taken.
At Salem the work of taking the special
census was placed in the hands of
Postmaster Bailey, while A. H. Kruck-
man will have charge of the fair count
in Bristol. Mr.. Bailey has completed
this count and is announcing an actual
population of 273 people. Bristol is yet
to be heard from, but it's dollars to
doughnuts that the village will see the
result of the count in Salem and raise
the figures. It is said that the amount
wagered on the result of the count is
large one and the census taking is be-
ing watched with breathless interest.

YOUTHFUL CULPRITS.
Three Boys Arrested This Morning on
Charge of Stealing Pair of Doves.

Three boys, Eskind Lindstin, Harry
Hammer1ink and Eimar Gierum, rang
ing in age from thirteen to eight years
were arrested this morning by
Chief of Police Newhouse on a charge
of petty larceny. The complaint was
made by Alexander Wilson, resident
of the Third ward, who alleges that
the three boys entered a dove cote on
his property last night just before dark
and stole a pair of doves. The doves
were valuable ones, having been the
prize winners in the fan tail class at
the last state fair. The boys secured
the doves and sold them to another
boy, from whom they were recovered
this morning.
1t is probable that on account of the
youth of the boys the case will be set
tied out of court.

city. This is to be done in order to in

A SERIOUS OUTLOOK
For the Building Trades Unlonists IN
New York City.

New York, May 15.-The Herald this
morning says Matters assumed an
ominous aspect yesterday in the dis
pute between the Mason Builders as
ISOLATION and the members of the
eight local bricklayers union. The
builders said they would stop work on
all important building operations in
this city tomorrow If the bricklayers
do not return TO work today on the
buildings that are being put up by
Thomas j. Reilly. While the brick
layers have not returned an answer TO
the ultimatum delivered by the build
ers last Saturday, they say their men,
bers will not report for work today.
The bricklayers say they cannot take
this action until the representatives of
the various unions reach a decision in
the matter at a meeting to be held to-
morrow night. Members of the Mason
Builders association, on the other
hand, say the workmen have had two
weeks in which to come to a decision
With the cessation of work on build
ing operations from 5000 to 5000
bricklayers will be thrown out Of en-
ployment and also all other mechanics
employed on the buildings. The sua-
pension of work will thus Immediately
affect from 10000 to $4,000 workmen.
Indirectly, however it may affect
from 10000 TO 100000 men. In fact,
both bricklayers and builders admit
that nobody can fOrsee the extent of
the labor trouble when it once is
started.

a STRANGE LAKE.
The P-,cuIiarities of "a Body of Water
In AustraIIa.

Lake George is situated about four
miles from the railway station ut Bun
gendore. Australia, and has for many
years engaged the attention OF scien-
tific men by reason Of the singular and
inexplicable phenomena connected with
IL. The estimates of its size vary con-
siderably according to circumstances,
but when moderately full about 20 by
z miles will be found tolerably correct.
At either end the land is fully 100 feet
above the highest recorded surface of
the lake, which possesses no known
outlet, although it is fed by numerous
mountain creeks.
The lake was discovered by a bush
man in 1920 and was known to the
blacks as the big water" 1t was then
supposed TO form the source of river
having its mouth on the south coast,
but subsequent visitors were much
perpleXed at the manner in which the
blacks avoided the lake, of which they
appeared to entertain superstitiOus
dread, one aged aboriginal stating she
had seen it all covered with trees, an
other explaining that the whole Of the
water sunk through the bottom and
disappeared. while others remembered
the lake only as a series Of small
ponds.
During the following 90 years con-
siderable variations were noted in the
depth and extent of the lake. In 1871
the lake became partially dried up, the
moist portions being simply grassy
swamps. \ few months later large
numbers of sheep were pastured in the
bed OF the lake. but fresh water had to
be carted for the use of the shepherds,
that of the lake being too salt for hui
man consumption. The place remained
more or less dry until 1852, the year of
the great floods in that part of the col
ony, when it again became filed, with
an average depth of nine feet. Since
then the surface level of the lake has
varied considerably, but the bed has
never been so dry as in former years.
There are indications that many hun
dreds of years ago the lake covered a
far larger area than any yet recorded
remains of trees over 100 years old be-
ing found in spots formerly under wa
ter. The saline character of the lake is
the more remarkable by reason of its
being fed by pure and sparkling fresh
water streams.
