HOW to Freshen Ribbons.

Gasoline is excellent for cleaning col
ored ribbons that have become soiled,
but it makes white ones yellowish in
color and does not affect creases as wa
ter will.
For white ribbons or those badly
creased or mussed prepare a suds of
soft water and any pure soap. Wash
the ribbons in this just as you would
wash fine handkerchief; rinse and
let It partially dry Take it down
while still damp in all parts and roll
it smoothly over q wide card or piece
Of pasteboard, rolling piece Of clean
white muslin with it.
Wrap the muslin around last, so that
the ribbon shall be covered, and place
the whole under a heavy weight. A
letter press is an excellent place in
which to press it. Leave it until it
shall have had / ne to dry, The mus
lin will absorb the moisture. The rib
bon will come out looking fresh and
clean and will have lost none Of it's
life" as is the case with ribbons
which are pressed with an iron.

How to Assist Nature In Subduing
Inflammation.

How to Assist Nature In Subduing
Inflammation.
s"There has been more rot written
about colds and their prevention and
cure than would fill volume" said
a hotel physician to Washington Star
man. "a cold in the head is a mani
festation of an infamed and congested
condition of the mucous membrane,
and these inf1ammatory diseases run
their courses and have their regular
stages.
GA remedy which would eliminate
this indammatory condition from the
system in day or two would be a
great help to the human race, saving
inestimable suffering and countless
deaths. I don't think it will ever be
found, and generations hence our de-
scendants will blow their noses and
wipe their watery eyes just the same
as today The use of silk handker-
chiefs viii more than repay for their
purchase. Linen is harsh and tends
to produce soreness and redness of the
nose. Therefore, since the suffering
avoided and must be endured, the best
way to cure a cold is to make this
condition as easily borne as possible
and aid nature in subduing the con-
gestion. Those who can stay indoors
should do so, and those who must go
out should put on additional clothing,
either under or outer garments.
warmth is what is wanted. Quinine
in two grain doses every two or three
hours, according to the susceptibility
Of the patient, is better than heavy
doses. Elixir of iron, quinine and
strychnine in teaspoonful doses an
hour before meals or One-thirtieth
grain granule of strychnine an hour
before meals provides a tonic which
tends to counterfeit the depression at
tending a cold. The nervous and mus
cular systems are stimulated, and the
cold feels better The appetite, al
ways affected, is sharpened, the pa
tent eats, the vital forces are renew
ed and a cure is effected in half the
time usually required if the warmth Of
the body is maintained and additional
colds and checks are not taken"

GAsCOIGNE BRINGS SUIT.
Demands Damages From the Reichert
Construction Co. End the City.

Samuel P. Gascoigne has instructed
his attorneys, Mcdowell & Kroncke, to
bring suit against the Reichert Con-
struction company, of Racine, and the
city of Kenosha to recover damages
for personal in juries received by Gas
coigne in an accident last October.
At the time of the accident the
Racine company was constructing a
sewer on the north side of the city and
a pile of brick had been left on the
street. Gascoigne was driving along
the street and his horse ran into the
brick and ran away. The man was
thrown from the vehicle and in jured so
badly that he was unable to work for
three weeks. The horse was also
badly in jured.
Several efforts have been made to
settle the suit out of the courts but the
offers of the Reichert company were so
small that Gascoigne refused to accept
them and he has instructed his attor-
neys to demand damages to the extent
of $500. The summons and complaint
in the suit is being served today.
1t is understood that the city is not a
party to the suit only as a secondary
matter. The contract of the Reichert
company with the city releases it from
all claims for damages.

Committee on Public Buildings is
Making an Investigation of Con-
ditiOnS at KenOsha.
MAY ASK DONATION OF A SITE.
Mayor German Receives Letter From the
Committee in Charge of the work Pro-
pounding Many Questions.

Congress is at work on the DILL 10
provide an appropriation for public
building at Kenosha and David M
Mercer, the chairman of the committee
on public buildings and grounds, has
sent a communication to Mayor Cor
man seeking all information possible
in regard to the city at present and IN
years TO come.
The letter from the chairman is as
follows:
Washington, D. c., Feb. 1, 1902.
Dear Sir:-A bill has been intro
duced in Congress providing for the
purchase of a site in your city and the
erection thereon of a government
building to be used for post office and
other governmental purposes. This
committee desires accurate informa-
ton from you upon which to base its
action. Will you kindly aid us along
the following lines:
What was your population in 1900
and what is it now?
What is your estimate for popula-
ton in 1920?
Will the city or citizens donate a
site?
If not, what is the lowest cost price
of a site about 1OOx15O feet in business
part of city?
Give values of land on principal
street and second principal street.
Describe location of site in each case.
Describe general character of bust
ness done in city and state number of
railroad lines leading thereto.
Mention six of the best buildings in
city with cost of construction OF each
and character of material used.
Why should government building
be erected in your city.
Is there a government building IN
your county? If not, give location
and distance from your city of such
building. Yours Truly,
DAVID H, MERCER,
Chairman.
There is no doubt but that the chair
man will receive a plentiful supply OF
information in regard to kenosha and
that it will be of an optimistic ma
ture. The population of KenOsha by
1920 should reach the fifty thousand
mark and this would warrant the cree
ton of a splendid building in Kenosha
to care for the official business of the
government.
The city officials will do all in their
power to aid the postal clerks in secur.
ing this magnificent Improvement foi
Kenosha and many private individuals
will give their aid to the project.

GARTER co. INCORPORATES.
New Kenosha Factory Takes State Char
ter with q Capital Stock Of $4,000.

Articles of incorporation were filed
with the register of deeds late Thurs
day afternoon for the organization of
the Garter Manufacturing company,
of Kenosha." The company has been
an active one in Kenosha for more
than year, but this is the first time
that it has been given corporate ex-
istence. The capital stock of the COM
pany is ten thousand dollars divided
into a hundred shares of 500 each and
fully paid up.
The company will engage in the
manufacture of tables and other furni-
ture and in the manufacture of tools
and other apparatus needed to manu-
facture the main output. The incor-
porators of the company are t. L.
Carter, president and treasurer; M. L.
Carter, vice-president, and William
Leonard, secretary.
The Carter company has had phe-
nominal growth in the past few years.
When it was first organized by Mr..
Carter it occupied one room in the
Whitaker foundry building, but in
two years it has grown to a factory oc-
cupying it's own plant and doing a
great business.
Nearly a hundred men are now find
ing employment at the factory and it
is probable that the rear future will
see large additions to the force.

SUES FOR $4,000.
william Hooking Demands Large sum
From windsor Spring Company

William E. Hooking, of this city,
through his attorneys, X. V. Baker OF
Kenosha, and T. E. Foley, of Chicago,
has brought suit for $4,000 against
the Windsor Spring company FOR per-
sonal injuries received while IN the
employ of the company. Hooking has
filed summons and complaint IN his
suit and it will be served this after
noon. The suit is one of the largest
personal damage suits ever brought IN
this county. In his complaint HOOK
ing alleges that for some time before
Sept. 14th, 1901, he was employed at
the factory of the defendant company
and was engaged In working ma
chine used for cutting bed Stats.
He alleges that the machine was de-
fective and that he noticed the defect
and asked the superintendent of the
factory to have the machine repaired.
The superintendent is alleged to have
stated that there were no screws IN the
factory to repair the machine and
ordered Hooking to resume his work.
A short time after he returned to work
one of the dies of the machine broke
and steel splinter was thrown VIC
1ent1y from the machine striking
Hooking in the eye. He was terribly
bruised about the face and after he
had undergone several surgical opera
tons it was found impossible to save
the eye and it was taken out.
Since that time Hooking has been
badly handicapped in getting employ
ment at his business and he has been
idle large amount of the time. The
case will probably come up for trial at
the next term of the Circuit court.

NO SMALLPOX HERE.
Reports of Cases in Kenosha County Are
without Foundation.


Repeated reports are being published
in papers about the country IN regard
to smallpox cases in Southern W1scon-
sin, These stories are without foun-
dation.
There is not case of smallpox in
Kenosha county and from the returns
to the health officers in the county 1t
is evident that there has not been a
case of the disease in the county IN the
past two years. Kenosha is perhaps
the only city in the State that has a
clean bill in this regard, but the health
officer states that to the best OF his
knowledge not a single case has
been discovered in thes'county in
the past year. A short time ago one
case was discovered at Camp Lake
among the ice cutters, but the officials
claim that the :case did not develop
until after thesman had left the county
and had gone to Chicago.
Stringent measures are adopted in
the ice camps of the county to prevent
the introduction or spread of the dis
ease. Every man is required to be
vaccinated before he is allowed to go
among the other workmen and strange
cases similar to smallpox are closely
guaranteed, In Kenosha and other
towns outside of the camps no meas
ures have been taken agains- smallpox
for the reason that none of them have
been deemed necessary.

OLD MORTGAGE DISCHARGED
Mortgage Given by Thomas Thompson in
1857 Taken From the Records.
IOurS etc

Mortgage Given by Thomas Thompson in
1857 Taken From the Records.
Judge Be1den has fled judgment
with the Clerk of the Circuit Court re-
leasing mortgage given by Thomas
Thompson, of the town of Randall, to
Robert Hesse1grave in 1857. The case
is peculiar one. At the time of the
granting of the mortgage Hesselgrave
and Thompson were neighbors and
they lived as neighbors for many
years, but there is no record that the
obligation was ever paid. Four years
ago Hesselgrave died at Scion Mills,
ILL.,, but since his death no effort
has been made to secure admin
istration of the estate and the heirs of
Thompson, also long since deceased,
asked that the mortgage be released in
order to clear the title to the land in
question.
The mortgage sshows that no inter-
est had been paid on the note since
1857 and it is supposed that the money
was paid at that time. As.there are
no heirs to Hesselgrave who can de-
mand administration of the estate the
Judge has given Thea Thompson heirs
the benefit of the doubt and has or
dered the mortgage withdrawn from
the records.

How to Wash Chamois Leathers.

When chamois feathers have been
washed, the usual fault with them is
that they dry hard and stiff. The Sc
cret of keeping a washed chamois
leather as soft as when new is to hang
it up to dry while it is still soapy and
without rinsing it. The leather will
then be perfectly supple and free from
any suggestion of stiffness.
