Thomas 3. Jeffrey Company Goes Into
a New Business Pending Com
pIetiOn of Models.
GASOLINE ARC LIGHTS ARE MADE
Chicago Solar Lamp Factory Brought from
chicago to Kenosha and MANY Lamps
Are Being Turned Out.

While the managers of the Thomas
B. Jeffrey company are awaiting tne
completion of their models Tor the
manufacture of automobiles the large
plant of the company is not 1ole' ana
it is probable that the business "nlch
is now being carried on VIII prove
great success. When Mr.. jeffrey came
tn Kenosha he was interested III the
manufacture of lamp known as the
Chicago Solar Lamp, and since the
company had not done all that was 70
he expected of it in Chicago, 1t has
been moved to this city and installed
in the Sterling building. The plant
promises to be very busy place within
a short time. The product OF the COM
pany is a gasoline lamp to be used Tor
Illuminating stores and other Puo'lC
places. The lamp has proved
its worth in the market and now the
company find so many orders await
ing them that an enlargement OF the
working force will be necessary to al
low them to take care of the oroers'
The lamp is novelty, it's power being
furnished by gasoline, and it is claim
ed that for a very small cost the lamp
will furnish as much light as the or
binary arc light which costs many
times the amount. The lights nave
heen tried in this city in number OF
business houses and they are giving
great satisfaction.
The merchants of the city, Disguised
with the recent action of the Electric
Light company in raising the rate FOR
lamps. have been investigating the
Solar lamp with view OF replacing
arc lamps with them. The Jettery
company have heard the call OF the
merchants, but at present they are so
rushed with orders from the chicago
store that it would be impossible for
them to turn out the lamps If they
should receive a large order from the
Kenosha merchants. The growing
trade will demand an increase OF the
force employed at the factory in the
near future.
With the coming of this new indus
try it is not the purpose of the man
ayers of the factory to give up the
plans for the manufacture of autono-
biles, but the work will start within
few months. In the meantime the
work of manufacturing solar lights
will be the main business of the COM
pany. Models for the AUTOMOBILES are
now in the hand of experts receiving
the final touches and they will be
ready for use within few months.

BEN HUR IN CHICAGO.

One of the most curious incidents In
contemporary literature is the fact
that Gen. Lew Wa'lace's famous nov
Ell, "Ben Hrr," is the visitle result of
a chance meeting on railroad train
and subsequent discussion upon the
truthfulness and merit of Christianity
between the author and the late Col.
Robert G. Ingerso11. Gen. Wallace
has always been a man of strong re-
-ligious inclinations-indeod, the splen-
did description of the wise men in the
desert had been written long before
this meeting with Ingerso1l, but the
claims and arguments of the greatest
infide1 of modern times were put with
such picturesque dircctness that the
author felt he was unable to combat
them. His senses were charmed with
the eloquent and poetical presenta-
ton of the cause of agnosticism, but
he was by no means convinced of it's
truth. But this discussion sank deep
into his mind and it led him to make
careful and exhaustive study of the
life of the Nazarene. The result of
=
answer to Ingerso11, was "Ben Hur,"
work which has been more widely
read than any printed volume, save
only the sacred scriptures.
Gen. Wallace gave his consent and
the book was dramatized by William
Young, Esq, one of the most noted
and competent playwrights of the day.
''Ben-Hur' has heretofore been seen
exclusively in the cities of the east, its
engagements being limited to New
York, where it played over year, to
Philadelphia, Boston and Brooklyn.
It's first western engagement will open
the season of the Illinois Theater,
Chicago, on Monday evening, Septem-
Der .. The great play will remain at
the Illinois for a limited period. So
much interest has been centered in
this engagement, and so many inqri-
RIGS have been made by mail and tele-
graph that Klaw & Erlanger have de-
sided to accept orders for seats for any

CONTEST ELECTION.
Excitement at winthrop Harbor over viii
lage Election Tuesday.

Winthrop Harbor's village election
Tuesday was productive of much in
terest and excitement and as was
feared much dissatisfaction is heard
over the outcome.
The Van Vlissengen ticket won out
over the Abbott ticket, the vote being
q to II.
The defeated ticket supporters assert
that there are not over thirty legal
voters in Winthrop Harbor and tnat
on these grounds a contest may result
the complaint being that no fewer than
ten were permitted to vote who had no
right.
The ticket which secured the most
votes was as follows:
President-J. H. Van Vlissingen.
Clearwater Klemn.
Directors-W. C. Heinroth, Koy
Cowie. Peter McArd1e, Swan Swanson
VIM. Kirk.
Another thing on which the defeated
ticket will base its objections, If they
are carried out, is that the regent cen
sus giving the village population OF
325 was not correct. They assert
there are no more than 285 no matter
how one figures.
The one issue on which the election
hinged was given out by member OF
one of the tickets.
1t was decided whether or not the
saloon license money be put into the
Dock company's treasuryor the vil-
lage treasury to be used for streets.
The plan of the winners as given out
by the opposition is to appoint the
saloon keepers policemen and IN TINS
way enable them to regain what they
paw into the treasury and also enable
them to pay the high rents charged
One man, it is said, pays 500 tor a
saloon about 16x3O feet in dimensions.
Two saloons are now running fuIl
blast and it is said that there are sew
eral other blind pigs, for, with no Ii
cense issued to those in open opera
ton, they are nothing less than 0hno
pigs.

90. wife of Matthew B. Swezey and
the mother of Mrs. w. S. Lamb, OF
this city, died at the home OF her
daughter Thursday evening at the age
of eighty-two years.
While Mrs. Swezey had been i'll
with heart trouble for the past two
weeks her death was unexpected and
came as a great shock to her many
friends and relatives IN Kenosha.
Two weeks ago the deceased became
i'll and in order to seek relief from the
heat of the city she was brought 10
Kenosha and placed in the care or her
daughter. She seemed to improve for
several days but became worse Ihurs-
dav evening and sank to rest shortly
after six o'clock.
Mrs. Elizabeth Swezey had lived
long useful life. Born in Brooklyn,
New York, on the oath of July, 1919,
she was a daughter of David Pell and
Sara Flowers Pell, one of the leading
families in New York. Mrs. Swezey
was married to Mr.. Swezey in Brook
1vn, New York, March 18th, 1874. In
1872 Mr.. and Mrs. Swezey came to
Chicago where the husband took an
active part in building up the city
after the great fire.
The deceased was woman OF many
noble characteristics. AS a wife and
mother she was greatly beloved. She
was a devout christian woman and
during her life in Chicago she had
been an active worker in the Plymouth
Congregational church of which she
was a member. Mrs. Swezey had
made many visits in Kenosha and dur
ing these visits she endeared herself to
many Kenosha people, to whom the
announcement Of her death will come
as almost a personal sorrow.

Alderman Hermann Starts the Deepen
dents OF City Into the Work Of
Cleaning the Streets.
TO WORK ALL OVER THE CITY
No Section Will be Favored, but the De-
Trash From All the Streets.

Dependents Of the city who gain
livelihood from the Pauper committee
will no longer live in Kenosha for the
sole purpose Of eating, but after today
they will be expected to do some work
to defray the expenses of keeping
them. This morning Alderman Her
mann, of the Pauper committee, put
his plan of having the paupers work
into operation and this afternoon four
of the dependents armed with trash
basket and pixies are walking about the
streets gathering up waste paper and
other trash and carrying it to the lake
shore where it is burned. The work is
being personally superintendent by the
Chairman of the Pauper committee
and it is his intention to see that the
men are kept at work until the city is
cleared of the great amount of rubbish
that is to be found on the streets. The
men at work seemed to take rather
kindly to the plan and they started in
to work with will. In this work no
part of the city will be favored, but the
men will be kept working on all the
streets of the city. They will also be
called into the parks where their serv-
ices can be utilized with credit.
The men will not be expected to do
any heavy work, as nearly all Of them
are old and infirm, but the work as
signed to them will be an easy exercise
and yet one that will make the city
much cleaner. It is the plan of the
Chairman of the committee to see to it
that these men work reasonable time
each day and with this work it is
thought that the city can be kept reas-
onably clean.
AS yet the plan to extend the work
;ngs of the scheme to city prisoners
has not been carried out, as it is
claimed that there is law which pre-
vents the city from forcing the men to
work on the streets. This matter is
being carefully looked irto and if pos
sible the chronic prisoners who crowd
the jail weekly will be put to work.
