Queer Accident Occurred This Morn
ina at the Home of E. S. Shippee
on Prairie Avenue.
MRS. SHIPPEE's NARROW ESCAPE
Explosion of the Stove Wrecked One Room
in the House, But No One Was Injured
Cause of Explosion a Mystery.

A gas stove used in the home of
E. S. Shippee, SO Prairie avenue, was
the cause of a peculiar accident shortly
before 7 O'Clock this morning, and as
result of an explosion Of the stove the
house was badly wrecked and the stove
was torn into thousand pieces.
The explosion luckily resulted in no
one being seriously injured, as Mrs.
Shippee who had been using the stove
a short time before the explosion had
retired to another portion of the house
and the force of the explosion was
spent on the windows of the kitchen of
the house which were shattered
No cause is given for the explosion.
Mrs. Shippee claims to have operated
the stove according to directions and
had left it burning while she attended
to other homework. She had barely
left the kitchen when a terrific report
was heard which sounded like the dis
charge of shotgun. The report was
plainly heard in the neighborhood and
people hurried to the scene of the acct
dent. Mrs. Shippee rushed into the
kitchen and found that the explosion
had come with sufficient force to break
all the windows in the rear of the
house and to scatter the fragments of
the stove in all parts of the room. In
some manner the blaze which had been
, burning had been extinguished and
there was no fire following the exp1o-
sion. The furniture in the room and
the walls of the house were badly
wrecked and when the explosion was
over the place revealed scene of ruin.
Mr.. Purnel1, the owner of the house,
was seen this afternoon and stated
that the damage to the house as a re-
suit of the explosion would be very
small and the damage to the furniture
and the stove will probably bring the
total amount up to little over $50.
The escape of Mrs. Shippee was
most miraculous one. Had she been
in the kitchen at the time of the explo-
sion it would not have been possible
for her to have escaped serious if not
fatal injuries.
At the gas Office no cause could be
assigned for the explosion, but an in
vestigation of the case is being made.

Business Men Meet and Decide to
Have a Glorious Celebration on
the Fourth of July.
FLOATS AND FIRE WORKS GALORE
Old Fashioned Celebration is Planned for
the City on independence Day
Noted Speakers to Be Present.

Independence day will not be for
now being made are carried out Keno
sha will have one of the grandest cele-
brations ever held in Southern Wis
consin. The ball was started to roll
ing Thursday evening when a dozen
we'll known business men met at the
Office of Justice George B. McCarron
and started the plans for the celebra-
tration. Another meeting will be held
on Wednesday evening at which time
permanent organization will be
formed and more definite plans made
to make the Fourth in Kenosha the
greatest event of the opening year of
the new century.
While the plans for the celebration
are as yet very immature it is decided
that the celebration shall be of the old
fashioned sort with an abundance of
patriotism. Fire works and floats will
be called into service to tell to young
America the story of the birth of the
American nation, and patriotic
speeches will be made in the parks
during the day.
One of the features of the day will
be the great parade which will take
place in the morning. This is in
tended to be record breaker. All the
benevolent societies in the city will be
asked to take part and sufficient money
will be raised to provide for the land
ing of floats which shall tell in a1egor-
ica1 design the story of early America
and early Kenosha. There will be
lots of music and bands from the sur
rounding cities will be asked to attend
the celebration.
During the afternoon it is probable
that athletic sports and games will be
arranged to take place on the public
square and in the grove where the
main celebration is held.
Prominent speakers will be secured
and the day will end with a grand dis
play of fire works and probably
balloon ascension.
The various committees to raise the
funds for the celebration will be APP
pointed at the next meeting of the
business men.
In the meantime an effort will be
made to locate the funds collected two
years ago, as it is reported that por-
ton of these funds remain unex-
pended.

DOWIE GIVES HIS SIDE.
Calls People Leaving Zion Hypocrites But
Makes No Concessions.


Relative to the reported withdrawal
of many influential members of Zion,
Dowie's paper-Leaves of Healing
this week says:
A very few hypocritica1 persons, not
to exceed five in all, have withdrawn
from us on the pretense that they
could not agree with us, = X the fact
being that other reasons, and those by
no means creditab1e to the persons
concerned, were the real reasons for
their drawing back, and the cause of
their backs1iding.
Elder Stokes and Evangelist Moody
have been removed" from that posi-
ton stfor cause" and also Elder Stith
from South Chicago. ~ 1t has
been a painful duty to perform these
acts of discipline, and we would rather
ten thousand times that they had not
been necessary.
We could not accept designations"
from those who had been dis1oya1 to
Zion whilst eating her bread.
It is, however, impossible in SO large
an organization as the Christian
Catholic church in Zion not to have
some who will stumble and cause 9th
ers to stumble occa siona11y.

Unknown Man Attempts to Insult Wife of
Well Known Physician.

Repeated complaints have been
brought to this office on account of the
actions of the alleged masher, who has
been making himself nuisance by
aCcosting women without escorts in
the Western part of the city. For
several weeks this fellow has made a
practice of standing on Market street,
near the railway tracks, and sew
eral ladies have been forced to stand
insults which have been heaped upon
them by this would be masher.
Last night he came very near COM
ing to grief. He was at his accus-
toned place early in the evening and
the wife of a we'll known physician
went past the point and walked down
town. AS she passed, the fellow made
an insulting remark, but the lady hur.
ried on and thought little more of the
occurrence. When she returned to her
home the man was standing behind a
tree and as the lady passed the fellow
walked out and blocked her way. The
lady was terribly frightened and made
excuses TO the man that she was going
to the home of a neighbor who lived
in the vicinity. The man would not
be put off and insisted on going with
her. The woman then started to run
and reached house in the neighbor-
hood. In short time a carriage was
secured and she went to the Office of
her husband, who at once started in
pursuit of the masher.
The fellow was awaiting the return
of the lady, but when he discovered
that the lady was attended by her hus-
band he started to run. A chase fol-
lowed but the man escaped without his
identity being discovered. An excel
lent description of the man has been
given to the officers of the city, and it
is to be hoped that he will be captured
and dealt with as his crime demands.
Kenosha has no use for idle men who
stand on the street corners seeking to
insult women of the city. and this man
should be captured and made an ex-
ample to the brutes who may come to
the city in the future.

RECOMMENDS
BOND ELECTION
Construction Of Schools,

Urged.
Mayor Asks Supervisors tc
Submit Propositions in
December.

Mayor Phelan sent a communication to
the Board of Supervisors yesterday in
which he recommends that bond election
for the construction of new schoolhouses,
new hospital and a sewer system be
called in the month of December. His
Honor also requests that the Board of
Public Works be called upon to furnish
plans for the improvements. The COM
munication follows:
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 25. 1901.
To the Honorable. the Board of Supervisors
Gentlemen: The Board of Supervisors two
years ago declared that the public convenience
and necessity required the construction of new
ing sewer system, and the people at an cleo
tion held December %, 1892 voted in favor
of issuing bonds for the construction Of these
improvements. Subsequently the Board of Su-
pervsors restrained from proceeding by a
suit brought in the Superior Court which was
decided pro forma in favor of the validity of
the bonds, but the judgment reversed in
the Supreme Court.
1t is now necessary, in order to construct
schoolhouses. sewers and an hospital, to sub
nit the proposition at election to the peo-
pie, which l suggest should be done time
in the month OF December next AS a pre-
liminary to this proceeding l recommend your
honorable board, as required by the charter
to call upon the Board of Public Works to fur
nish plans and specifications for these needed
improvements. Respectfully submitted
