The Remarkable Properties OF q
Piece of Camel Coal.


A pound of camel coal is a lump
about the size of a mans fist. Out of
this dyes can be distilled sufficient to
color the following lengths of flannel
three-quarters of a yard wide: Five
feet of yellow, 49, feet of scarlet, 2
feet of violet, 2 inches of orange, 4
inches of turkey red and inches OF
magenta. BY judicious blendings you
can obtain Is distinct yellow shades,
II orange, SO red, Is blue, green and
8 violet, in all 50 separate tints. These
colors are made from the waste left
over after the gas has been extracted.
Take a ton of good camel coal and
distill it in a gas retort. 1t will give
10000 cubic feet Of gas, % gallons Of
ammonlacal liquor, 80 pounds of am
monium sulphate, ID hundredweight of
coke and II gallons of coal tar. 1t is
this liquid which 40 years ago was
burned in the furnaces or sold as cheap
as wagon grease at 81 ton that now
yields not only these lovely cOlors, but
medicines and scent enough to stock
chemists and perfumer's soap.
Besides these coal tar gives US that
greatest boon of the man whose doctor
won't let him take sugar-namely, sac
charm. OF this substance one pound
is equal to two hundredweight of sug-
ar, as far as sweetening power goes.
1t Is quite wholesome and is, into the
bargain, a capital disinfectSnt. Jam
made with sacchar1n ought to keep

INSURANCE LOSSES LARGE.
Life Insurance Companies Paid $34,5 in
Losses in Kenosha During the Year.

The annual report of the losses paid
by insurance companies writing life
insurance in the United States has
just been made public and the report
shows that $34,573 was paid in death
claims in Kenosha during the year
Just passed. This is an exceedingly
large amount and placed Kenosha high
in the list among cities of Wisconsin.
Much of the insurance was paid out
by the beneficial orders, but one loss
amounted to $4,000. Most of the
claims are small, and for this reason
many of them must have been paid to
make up so large total.

Saloon Element in Charge of the Town
Threaten to Make it Rival for
Hurley in Meanness.
FOUR SALOONS ARE ESTABLISHED
Dowie Followers Are Said to Assist in Max
ing Business Good for the Saloon Men.
State to be Appealed to for Aid.

Truly astonishing reports come from
the new town Winthrop Hafoor'
Though it has existed in reality as a
village for only short time 1t is SAID
that for general carousal, etc., IN now
even rivals Kenosha.
Though it was only a few weeks ago
that the village secured its papers OF
INCORPORATION, since they were issued
and before the village was in charge
of village organization, the election
not vet having occurred, four saloons
have been opened and are now said TO
be doing business there.
They are thus running in violation
of the law for until the municipal
authorities can grant permission they
must answer to the state.
It is said that opposition to the sa-
loon element will petition States At
tornev Talcott to shut the places up or
if they have to, they will appeal to the
governor.
Reports of an astonishing condition
of affairs reach here, in effect that on
the streets are seen many drunken
men and even women, that numerous
fracasses have occurred and that the
vicinity which was formerly quite re-
1igious, is greatly agitated over the
condition of affairs.
The admission of the saloon IN Win
4hron Harbor was the result OF an
agreement reached by those IN favor
and the opposition, who, though they
didn't want liquor SOLD there, were de-
,cidedlv anxious to have the village de-
veloped.
J. II. VanV1issenger, promoter OF
the town, informed the opposition that
he could get men to work in the rae
tories much more willingly ii saloons
existed than if it were a dry town
He assured the opposition, however
that if liquor was sold there he woulo
see to it that it was held under the
strictest kind of control.
Accordingly the opposition relented
and the result was that single ticket,
headed by Mr.. Messenger as pres
ident, was put up at the recent caucus
Now, however, the opposition feel
that things are not going to be held
back under stringent order but that 1t
is to be wide open, and in fact Mr.
Van Messenger has been appealed tc
already to stop the condition ere II
gains to much Roadway.
1t is reported that Mr.. Van Vlissen'
ger was even assaulted by one of the
residents who objected seriously to the
vvav he had allowed things to pro

HAD A PLEASANT TRIP.

A number of people have already
been to Buffalo to take in the Pan
American Exposition. They report
the show as all that could be desired,
and that they had very pleasant trip.
They went by way of Milwaukee,
taking the Pere Marquette steamer
across Lake Michigan, and from there
to Detroit by fast train, connecting at
Detroit with fast trains for Buffalo.
Some have gone by boat from Detroit,
and report delightful trip, the change
from rail to water riding being very
pleasant.

route write H. w. Jameson, T. p. A.,

Important Plague Discovery.

Some experiments recently made at
Cape Town seem to indicate that the
''rat plague" which so frequently ac-
companies human plague epidemics
and which has hitherto been thought to
be due to the same bacterium is really
another disease, caused by different
microbe. Bubonic plague is readily
communicable to rabbits by inocula-
ton, whereas the rat plague bacillus
when injected produced no effect and
indeed differs very considerably in ap-
pearance from the human plague bacil-
lus. ,,e,<~-s55 e.sr,s.l.

Henry Carney Alleged to Have Left the
State to Avoid Arrest For Non-support.


State to Avoid Arrest For Non-support.
Henry Carney, a resident of the
town of Bristol whose wife, Rosa Car
ney, alleges is the meanest white man
in Kenosba county, is missing. 1t is
not feared that Carney has committed
suicide or that he has met with foul
play. but it is suspected on pretty good
authority that the man has left the
State to avoid arrest on charge OF
non-support.
Mrs. Carney is a pretty little woman
of thirty-four and the mother of seven
children and she tells a hard story OF
misuse. She swore out warrant for
the arrest of her husband, but when
the officers went to the house to arrest
the man he saw them coming and took
out through the woods for the State
line and was never headed. He has
not returned, but when he shows up
AGAIN. if his conduct is not altered, it is
probable that the people of the town OF
Bristol will take hand in the matter
and Carney will either be good or be
in jail.

A Novelty In Clockmaking.

Clocks that are SO made as to sound
signals of various kinds are coming
into use among the schools. A large
school building will have one master
clock, and this Is connected with other
clocks, one in each room, and also with
a beH in each room. The connection is
by electric wires, SO that all the rooms
have exactly the same time, and all the
signals are rung on the second.

A writer in The Lancet, speaking of
new bread and old, says:
New bread is we'll known to be less
digestible than stale bread, although it
need not be SO. There can be no Ques-
ton, however, OF the vastly superior
favor of the former and hence the
preference of many people for hot rolls
for breakfast. So far the palate would
appear not to be q safe guide to di-
gesti0n. Hot rolls, however, when mas
ticated properly should not offer any
difficulty to the digestive organs.
A slice Of stale bread on being broken
with the teeth resolves into more or
less hard, gritty particles, which, I'M
less they were s0ftened by the saliva,
would be almost impossible to swallow.
The particles would irritate the throat
and the gullet. The fact is, therefore,
that man is compelled thoroughly to
masticate and to impregnate stale
bread with saliva before he swallows
it. This act of course partially digests
the bread and thus makes it in a fit
state for digestion and absorption far
Their on in the alimentary tract. This
is why stale bread appears to be more
digestible than new bread. y
New bread, on the contrary, is soft,
doughty or plastic, and there appears
to be no necessity to soften 1t with
saliva; hence it escapes the prelin-
mary digestive action Of the ptyalin
of the saliva. New bread, in other
words, is in reality "bolted," and bolt
ing" accounts for many of the ills aris-
ing from dyspepsia. Accordingly, hot
rolls should be enjoyed for breakfast
without any fear Of dyspepsia so long
as the bread is good and so long as
pains are taken to masticate it thor
oughly.
The Ice Water Vice.
Ice water should be Stunned by all
who expect to maintain perfect diges-
ton, says a writer in Popular Science.
It chi1ls the stomach and deadens the
activity of the glands that produce di-
geStfve fluids. The free use of ice wa
ter in America Is one thing that gives
the American people the name of a
nation of dyspeptics." In Europe ice
cold drinks are a rarity. Soda foun-
Tains for dispensing ice cold drinks
are practically an unknown luxury
throughout Europe; consequently but
very few Europeans have dyspepsia.
While they drink q large quantity of
liquids, they have never been educat-
ed to ice cold drinks. Carelessness and
Indifference concerning the laws of
health swell the great army Of in
valids. People ignore practical com
mon sense methods of preserving
health.
The Function OF the Taste.
The function of the taste doubtless
sustains a much more important re-
Iation to digestion than has been gen
orally accorded to 1T, says DR.. Kellogg
Food to be digested must be appetizing-
Food which nauseates does not stimu-
hate the secretion Of the fluid necessary
to digest 1t either In the mouth or the
stomach. The sense of taste may be
regarded as a sort OF regulation: hence
1t Is an important property Of food
that the sense Of taste may be stimu
lated and that it may have an oppor
tunity to exercise It's eeaecttve and con-
trolling functions -.

N AAN1LA, Aug. 15.-Second Lieuten-
N ant Walter S. Grant of the Sixth
cavalry, while scouting with a
detachment near Taal, Batangas Prov
ince, made what the military authorities
consider to be the most important cap
! ture since Aguinaldo was made prisoner.
Grant captured Col. Martin Cabrera,
his adjutant and six other insurgents.
Cabrera had been growing in power for
some time. He controlled all the insur-
gents in South Batangas and also those
westward of the city of Batangas.
Colonel Panganiban, captain and 20
men with 26 rifles and considerable am
munition, have surrendered to Lieuten-
ant Smith of the Twentieth infantry.
They formed portion Of General Mall
vars's command. After taking the oath
of allegiance they were released.
Captain Folicar Pho, lieutenant and
five men from the Sixth company of Mall
vars command also surrendered to Colo
mel Baldwin, refusing at the same time
payments for their rifles and revolvers
and saying that they surrendered for
! peace and not for money.
Lieutenant Evans reports that he has
not seen or heard of any insurgents re-
Gently on the island Of Mindoro. He re-
ports burning camp, however, and he
succeeded in capturing 300 tons of rice.
He says the people in the valley Of
Naujan reside in the richest farming
country of the islands. The district is
thickly settled and plentifully supplied
with cattle and rice.
General Chaffee is greatly pleased by
these accounts from the province Of Bat
angas and the island of Mindoro.

NEW ORLEANS UNDER WATER
Hurricane Swept Along the Coast,
Flooding the City and Causing
Great Damage.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
n EW ORLEANS, Aug. 15.-A storm
~ which developed here yesterday
afternoon continued throughout
the night, and heavy wind is still
blowing today.
The rain and wind was general along
the coast and many trains are belated.
Reports from the Mississippi sound in
dicate that considerable damage has
been done to small bridges, bathing
piers and wharves. Some small boats
were damaged, but no lives were lost.
The wires running to Port Eads are
still down and communication with
that section is difficult. The backing up
of the water caused the overflow of
