Well Known Pioneer Expired at the Home
of Her Daughter Thursday Afternoon.
VIM. G.. CROSBY,
County Clerk.
ITO be Continued. |

Well Known Pioneer Expired at the Home
of Her Daughter Thursday Afternoon.
Mrs. A1mira Sanborn Bartlett, widow
of the late Richard P. Bartlett, and
one of the early pioneer settlers of the
county, died at the home of her daugh-
ter, Miss Emily E. Bartlett, asa Con-
gress street, Thursday afternoon.
Death was caused by paralysis. Mrs.
Bartlett had been a sufferer from heart
disease for many years, but last Satur-
day she was stricken with paralysis,
and lay in helpless condition until
death relieved her.
The deceased was one of the best
known women in Kenosha. She was
born at St. Adams, Vermont, Novem-
Der 18th, 1922. She was daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Sanborn, and
came with her parents to Kenosha in
1843. Almost her entire life since that
time had been spent in this city. Until
she became an invalid she took great
interest in the affairs of the town and
was we'll known among all circles IN
the city. Three chi1dren-two sons
and a daughter, survive. They are
Herbert p. Bartlett, of Oswega, Kan
sas, Charles r. Bartlett, of Milwaukee,
and Miss Emily E. Bartlett, of this
CITY.

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness lis caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inf1amed you have a
rumb1ing sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirelysc1osed deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed coh
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that can not be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

Henry EiCheIman Offers to Provide a
Lot If the City Will Build House
Upon 1t.
OFFER SHOULD BE ACCEPTED.
Mr.. Eichelman Stated That he will Present
the City With Lot in Feathertown If
a Suitable House is Erected.

kenosha can have pest house II the
city is willing to accept generous
offer made by Henry Eichelman, of
Eichelman Bros. Mr.. Eichelman said
to representative of this paper today
that he would present the site for
pest house if the city would agree to
erect suitab1 building upon it.
The lot in question is situated in an
isolated position near the north limits
of the city and would make an ideal
place for the erection of a pest house.
The question of such a building in this
city has been we'll nigh talked 20 death,
but with small pox scare in prospect
it might be well for the city to take
some action. The lot of Mr.. Eichelman
solves a question which has long
troubled the council. Two years ago
when an effort was being made to es-
tab1ish pest house the council was
not able to find a piece of ground on
which to locate the house. \ pest
house such as the city should build
would cost in the neighborhood of
81, 900. It would provide a suita BILE
place for the treatment of the diseased
and would give 2 lace where they
could be cared for in comfort without
making the cases a menace to the pub
lie health.
For some days a rvmor has been go
ing the rounds that there was a case of
small pox in the city and it went so
far as to say that the patient had been
removed into preliminary pest house.
So far as we can learn the rumor is
without any foundation more than that
one of the doctors had a case of chicken
pox among the residents of Feather
town. The doctor, who had been
treating the case, was seen today and
said that the report that it was small
pox was unfounded. The man has
almost recovered from the attack and
there is no reason to remove him to
pest house or anywhere else.
In speaking of the matter the doctor
stated that these silly rumors do a
great deal of damage to the business
interests of the city and the authors of
them should be severely censured.
Nothing could iujure the business
interests of Kenosha more than a small
pox scare and it is to be hoped that the
prize liars will change their tune. AS
soon as small pox is discovered it will
be reported to the health office and the
people of the city will be notified Of
their danger.

KenOsha Harb0r Men Have Sent a
Letter to Congressman Cooper
Asking HarbOr Improvements
BREAKWATER TO BE Heightened
Present Breakwater Fails to Fulfill Pur-
pose for Which 1t Was Constructed and
Further Work SHOULD be Done.

A letter has been sent to Congress-
man Cooper by number of represen-
tative citizens of Kenosha, asking that
further improvement of the Kenosha
harbor. At the time of the completion
of the work, which has been in prog
ress for more than two years, it was
thought that the harbor was secure,
but the recent storms have shown that
the newly constructed breakwater is
not long enough to have the effect de-
sired by the engineer. AT present the
harbor is sadly affected by the heavy
storms to such an extent that the yes
sells far in the basin are tossed about
considerably by the large waves.
Capt. Warren, the government engin-
eer, has been asked to look into the
matter. 1t is said that the difficulty
could be removed if the new break
water was extended some hundred feet.
| This work would require the eXpen-
diture of about $4,000, and it is said
that this money is now available. At
the time of the completion of the last
contract quite little money remained
of the appropriation and it was under
stood among the local men that this
money would be held for the mainten-
ance of the harbor. However, the
bill now before the house contains an
appropriation for the maintenance of
the Kenosha harbor, and it is probable
that the city would have little trouble
in having the remaining funds apprO-
priated for the purpose of frightening
the breakwater.
The attention of Congressman
Cooper has been called to the matter,
and he has promised to take it up as
soon as possible and make an effort to
have the harbor committee make an
examina ton of the conditions and inn
provements demanded to make the
harbor all that it was planned to be.
The harbor with this improvement
would be as fine one of refuge as
there is on Lake Michigan.

TAKES HALO FROM DEWEY.
John Witlen, Engineer on the Olympia,
Pays Kenosha a Short Visit.

John Witlen, Engineer on the Olympia,
Pays Kenosha a Short Visit.
John Wit1en, formerly assistant en-
gineer on the steamer Olympia, the
flag ship of Admiral Dewey at Manila
Bay, came to this city yesterday after
noon for a short visit before returning
to his home in Chicago. Witlen was
seen last evening and he is another of
the sailors who are making N effort to
about Admiral Dewey, on account of
the battle of Manila Bay. Witlen is
very OutSpOken in MS manner and gave
graphic account of the battle and he
incidentally claimed that the Admiral
was in no way worthy of the praise he
received as the hero of Manila. Ac-
cording to the story of Witlen the real
hero of Manila Bay was an under
officer named Nelson. Wit1en claims
that he stood in the engine room Of the
Olympia and heard a conversation be-
tween Dewey and Nelson, in which the
former practically turned the squadron
over to the under officer during the
battle. 1t is stated that Nelson was
Dane, who was well acquainted with
the Manila harbor, and when the fight
began Dewey asked him to assume
command. Witlen claims to have
heard this with his own ears. Later
Wit1en claims that Nelson gave the
command to have the lights extin-
guished on the Olympia and he had
charge of the vessel during the fight.
At the end of the fight, according to
the story, Lieutenant Nelson received
50, 600 for his services and later he was
presented with home in Washington.
Wit1en seems to tell his story as if it
was true, but every returning officer
from Manila has told a different story
of the fight and it is probable that
Witlen' is simply another of the fakes.
Mr.. Witlen will remain for short
visit here before going to the home of
his sister in Chicago to spend his fur
Tough.
