has been forcible, to say the least. He
tells his countrymen they are murder
ers and thieves and dealers in whole
sale arson. He emphasizes the ire
mendous cost of the war up to date;
the e2oo,oOo,o 900, the $4,000 noble men
killed., the $4,000 wounded. And the
government is seriously troubled by
this preacher; wish they dared shut
him up in some place where he could
be kept quiet.
Not that the public appear to accept
his words as words of wisdom, right
words in the right place. On the con-
trary, they have made him exceeding
ly unpopular. His life has been threat
ened, his home surrounded by an eX-
cited, jeering mob, he has been dubbed
"The Old Boer." He laughs at these
demonstrations, and continues to hurl
invectives at Chamberlain and the
British soldier.

heard that this company was ever
formally organized, but various at

been made to sit down on the gentle
man. A few years ago the greater part
of the London press boycotted him.
But Mr.. Stead bobbed up serenely, was
able to deal with his brothers, one at a
time, or all at once.
William Thomas Stead was born at
Emb,edon, Northumbria, England, SO
years ago. His father was Congrega-
tional minister in poor circumstances.
At the age of IA he was initiated into
business life, began as office boy in
mercantile establishment. Six cents
week was all the money young Stead
| was able to allow himself for many a
year, but he managed somehow to get

his way when he won prize of one

Magazine" The guinea was to be paid
by means of books chosen by the pub
Usher. paper-bound copy of James
Russell Lowell's poems was among the
lot, and to-day one of the most-cher-

is this much-handled volume of Low

most interesting personality. Though
some characterize him as chronic
kicker, usually against the thing or
party popular at the very moment,
very many people, himself included, be-
lieve him sincere, his purpose lofty, his
enthusiasms wonderful and to be
revered. 1t is true, he is sometimes on
this side, sometimes on that, but YOU
know great sage has taught us: "Con-
sistency is the hobgoblin of little
minds.''
And SO we must come to the conclu-
sion that Mr.. Stead's mind is great.
1t was not SO very long ago he was rail-
ing at Mr.. Kruger and his tyrannical
government down in South Africa, and
now he makes pilgrimage to the
Kruger shrine in the Netherlands, a
visit of coincidence, a visit to assure
the doughty president of his, Mr..
Stead's, belief in the righteousness of
the Boer cause.
On this visit he as told by Mr..
Kruger the Beers were awaiting the
inevitable reaction of English senti-
ment in regard to the war. To hasten
this reaction, Mr.. Stead has taken off
his coat and gone to work to make the
Englishman ashamed of England's
treatment of the Beers. His language

lon." For the frightful revelat tons
made by Mr.. Stead in this article, he
was sent to prison; but public senti-
ment was so aroused that laws for the
protection of girls were enacted both
in England and the United States.
English naval supremacy began with
his ''Truth About the Navy and Its
Coaling Stations"
Mr.. Stead has been ridicuied by lively
English lady for setting himselfu pasan
arbiter of morals, and in truth he is ex-
tremeiy jealous to purify the state of
both public and private morals. In
these days, when religion and Puri-
tanism are not at al fashionable, it APP
pears to Mr.. Stead's credit that he
stands stanchly by them. But he has
in him also the bigot. When that un-
happy Irish leader, Mr.. Parnell, was
making his dying struggle for political
life, it was Mr.. Stead that was largely
instrumental in adding to his death
throes. And he thought he did it for
righteousness sake, because of Mr..
Parnell's private sins.
Mr.. Stead has catholic tastes, and
Worldwide acquaintance with celebri
ties, personages of distinction and
persons under oppression. He writes
of King Edward and Queen Alexandra,
as well as of the lowly women and chill
dren of Modern Babylon" He writes
character sketches of Gladstone, the
czar of Russia, of Queen Victoria and
other mighty rulers of mighty domin-
| ions. He tells us, or endeavors to, 'The
Truth About Russia" and then turns
his hand to getting out a series of
Books for the BARNS" He brings out
book devoted to hings>supernatural
he himself is said to have firm faith
in ghosts, or spirits, or "psychical phe-
nomenons," as he calls it. He opened
wide Chicago's eyes to her wide-open
town with eff Christ Should Come to
Chicago" His work with reference to
the peace conference is of recent date.
1t is refreshing now and then to
meet man that does not follow the
procession, and surely Mr.. Stead would
never be accused of that weakness. He
resembles our own president in that
respect, a leader rather than follow
er, man men have not found easy to
manage.

FARM WATER SUPPLY.
Unique System Adopted by n Man Who
Could Not Afford a Wind
nsfll and Tank.

Father did not like to pump water
for stock and could not afford a wind
mill and tank. He dug well 200
yards from the house, and the bot
tom of the we'll was considerably
higher than the house, and the house
was IS or 20 feet higher than the
ground at the barn. A pipe was let
into the well which nearly reached
the bottom, the open end being pro-
tected by wire screen, covered, so
no mice or foreign substances could
obstruct the flow of water. A trench
was dug a few feet deep and the
pipe laid from the we'll to pump
some 20 feet away. This pipe was
connected with the perpendicular
pipe in the well by round elbow.
The pump was some three feet be-

low the top of the well, which was
is feet deep. A short pipe, foot
long, was laid from the main pipe,
and round elbow connected it with
a small iron pump. Near the pump
was screw in the short pipe to shut
off or turn on the water from the
we'll. On the main pipe, just beyond
the place where the short pipe was
joined, and below, was another
screw.
Halfway down to the barn was
a perpendicular pipe about three feet
high and furnished with faucet. Be
low this the pipe was fitted into a
short plank board the size of the
pipe, with one one-halt-inch hole
bored down into the passage and
some three inches below small hole,
each fitted with plug. These, with
the faucet, were for the escape of
air. When ready to start the water,
trough were closed. A large, strong
barrel furnished a tank for the house
Then the two plugs were removed
from the block ofwood near the fau-
Get, midway to the well, the faucet
opened and they were ready. The
screws at the pump must be in per-
feet order and not a bubble of air
be allowed to enter the pipe any
where but where Indicated The
screw next the pump must be opened
to let water flow from the we'll
through the pump, and the screw in
the main pipe just below the short
pipe to the pump must be tightly
closed.
To start, pour water in the pump,
a half-bucketful, say, and hold the
hand over the nose of the pipe and
pump. In a short time the water
will flow readily from the well, but
let it come freely SO the pipe is full,
then lower the handle to the pump,
close the screw at the foot in the
short pipe, open quickly the screw in
the main pipe and if your pipe is not
laid too deep you will hear the water
gurgling away down the hill to the
barn. Now go to the block and
faucet. The water is forcing out the
air, and in a short time you will
see it running through the block on
its way down to the barn. Wait I'M
til the pipe is full, which you may
know by the water overlooking from
the air holes in the block. Then put
in the large plug, then the small one,
then close the faucet, and your sy-
phon will draw water as long as
there is any in the well, or break
in the pipe let's in air. When you do
not want it to run, close the faucets
at barrel and trough.
We have had water run for months
without starting anew, but when wa
ter is low, as it often is in our long,
rainless summer, we have to start it
as often as it stops running. The
pipe must, of course, be protecred
from frost, but that is no difficult
matter here, where ice is seldom
| seen. We have had this we'll in OPP
GRAFTON since 's4. The side well is
connected by screw and joint below
the faucet. BY starting the water
when the pipes are full and the screw
open to the side well, the water from
the main well will back up there and
| fill it. OF course such things must
be watched.-Mrs. L. r. Littleiohn, in

Case of Small POx Among WOrkmen
in the Ice Fields Causes Gen.
eraI Apprehension.
DR.. CASE ORDERS VACCINATION
Aaron Wynn, an Employe of tho Knicksr-
booker Ice Company, Who Left Salem,
is Guaranteed With the Small Pox

The village of Salem in the western
part of the county is threatened with
a serious small pox scare and this
morning a rush order was received in
the city from DR.. Case, the health
officer of the town, asking that all the
vaccine points in the city be sent to
Salem on the first train. A general
order for the vaccination of all the
people in the town has been given out
and the ice men who are employed by
the Chicago companies are especially
demanded to seek immunity from the
disease.
The scare is the outgrowth of a case
of small pox which developed in the
town a week ago. Aaron Wynn, of
Chicago, is the victim. Wynn was
employed by the Knickerbocker COM
pany and came to Salem to work about
the seventh of the month. On the
eleventh he was taken i'll with what
was supposed to be the grippe and after
he had been i'll for several days he was
sent to Chicago hospital for treat
ment.
When he arrived at the hospital it
was discovered that the man had a
we'll developed case of the small pox
and he was at once quarantined.
When the news of the mans disease
reached Salem last night it caused
great excitement and it is feared that
many persons have been exposed to
contagion. Wynn, during his short
stay in Salem, was employed with
many other ice cutters and it is feared
that the disease will certainly spread.
AS soon as the news of the case was
received in Salem DR.. CaseSt took rigid
disease. He at once ordered the vac
cination of all the men who had been
connected with Wynn and general
vaccination of the people of the village
will follow.
DR.. Case was interviewed this morn
ing by telephone and stated that as yet
none of the men who had been EN-
p1oyed with Wynn had been seized
with the disease. However, he stated
that he had decided to be on the safe
side and for this reason a general vac
cination had been ordered. He init
mated that as yet it was too early to
expect any developments in the spread
of the disease, but he was hopeful of
preventing any spread should the new
cases develop.
It is impossible to tell how many
men haye been exposed to the disease,
as the ice company have hundreds of
men at work in the neighborhood and
nearly all of them are housed at board
ing houses on the lake shores.

ELECT OFFICERS.

One of the most wide awake sessions
of the College of Commerce literary
society was the election of officers
Friday afternoon. Under the new
method adopted through the recent re-
peal of old bylaws, all nominations
were made from the floor, and most Of
them were prefaced by rousing
speeches.. The students are fast gain
ing confidence in themselves and show
greater aptitude in their expression of
thought. The usual literary program
was postponed on account of election
of officers and will be rendered with
some additions next Friday afternoon
as a form of Washington's birthday
exercises. Visitors are always well
come to those programs and quite
often drop in and listen to the exer-
cises.

MES of the society will be under the
guidance of the following newly
elected officers:

"WOMEN CT RUSSIA.
Madame Friedland to Lecture Before the
Woman's Club.

Madame Friedland, native of Rus
STA, who has been lecturing in other
cities, will be heard in Kenosha if the
offer which she has made to the Wo-
mans Club is accepted, and there is
hardly any doubt that the directors of
that body will make the arrangements
necessary to secure the talented lee
turer. At meeting of the directors,
held in the club room in the Simmons
Library, the question was discussed,
the only difficulty seeming to be in the
selection of an evening convenient to
all the members. This, however, is a
trifing matter, and the choice OF the
time will probably be left to Madame
Friedland.
AT present the idea is to hold these
lectures in the club room, but a larger
room may be necessary. Tickets
dollar for the course of four 1ectures,-
will be sold, and are likely TO be taken
by persons outside the club, both on
account of the reasonable rates and
the attractiveness of the lectures. The
subject that Madame Fried1and has
chosen is THE Women of Russia -
and as she has lived in the country She
will be able to tell many things that
have hitherto been merely guesswork
with the ordinary writer and lecturer
on Russia.
From what was said at the meeting
it is probable that the lectures will
be given on the four Mondays
in March, This is the first series
to be given under the patronage of the

WILLIS RUSSELL RESIGNS.
superintendent of the Electric Light Com
pany Tenders His Resignation.

Willis L. Russell, for the past six
years Superintendent of the Kenosha
Electric Light plant, has sent his res
ignation to the Kenosha Gas and Elec-
trio Light company and will sever his
connection with the company with the
close of the present month.
The announcement of the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Russell will undoubtedly
cause considerable surprise among the
business men of the. city. He has
been connected with the Electric Light
company for more than tea years.
During the days Of the old company
he took very important place in the
building of the lines and with the new
company his aid has been Invaluable.
For four years he worked with the
company as an assistant on the lines,
but at that time the company found
his work to be of such nature that it
warranted his advance to Superinten-
dent.
AS yet Mr.. Russell has not an
nounced his plans for the future, but
it is rumored that he has resigned the
Kenosha position for the purpose of
accepting more lucrative position in
Chicago.
The managers of the company were
seen this afternoon and stated that as
yet no steps had been taken to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
the Superintendent.
