TWO CENTS
INSTANTLY KILLED.
Fall of Slate Crushed out the
Life.

or Edward UT, Twenty Year Old
Coal Miner-Meeks Coal Bank Scene
OF Accident Yorng Miner had no
Warming of impending Fate and was
Dead When Picked mp.
Edward UT was instantly killed
on Wednesday morning by fall of
slate in the Meeks coal mine near
the Experiment Farm. The accident
occurred about s o'clock. The VIC
tim was son of "Son" Utt and was
about 20 years OF age and unmarried.
This is the first accident that has
occurred in this mine for some years.
The piece of slate which fell was not
very large but it fell without warn
ing and caught the young fellow be-
fore he had any chance to get away.
Bob keener, Henry and William
UT were working in the bank at the
time but when they had lifted the
mass OF slate from their comra lie he
was dead. Death was instanteons.
The remains were removed TO his
home near by. Arrangements for
the funeral have not yet been an
nounced.
Mr.. Jerome Meeks of this place
owns the mine which has been in
operation for several years. The ae-
eident was an unforeseen mishap Ii
able to occur in any mine and en-
tirely unpreventable.
Some years ago James Brooks was
badly injured in the same mine by
fall of slate.
Young TIT was well respected
young man and his relatives have
the sympathy of all in their terrible
afllietion
Squire Shoemaker went out and
investigated the matter but decided
that it was not necessary TO hold an
inquest as the facts were sufficiently
plain without it.

receive his money all right. There is
no disposition TO delay the completion
of the plant or to abandon the enter.

wants work TO be pushed as fast as
possible.
Mr.. Murphy stated that be had the
lehrs and tanks about half done and
that they would be completed within
80 days. With delays which may
arise he will complete them in 40 days
from this date The plant will then
be ready for operation.
1t is the intention of the company
TO embark in the manufacture of
glass but they will probably have to
give up the idea OF making glass bath
tubs as projected. They claim that
they have no patents on these and In
case they should begin their manu-.
facture might be infringing on the
rights of others.

written in the hospital on Sunday. a
short time after it had been written
she closed her eyes, while Rev. John
NJ McAmy prayed by her bed.
Miss Donaldson who wrote 1t for
her, refused to discuss in any manner
the portent of the message. From au
authoritative source outside of the
hospital it was said that the burden
of the letter was an appeal to War

wife in her present affection. 1t IS
said that in the letter she also plead
ed for her father, Mr.. DIETRICH, who
was guard at the jail Mrs, Soffcl

Mr.. Blakely gave Mrs. Soffel some

Rural Mail Carriers will Change meth

Senator Mason had conference
with the postmaster general for the
purpose of securing the issuance OF
an order which will remove what
might be termed discrimination
against certain farmers in regard to
the delivery Of their mail. AT pres

leave the postoflice by one route and
return by another. As consequences
those who live near the end Of the
route receive their mail late every
day.
1t is proposed to have the carriers
start one day at the beginning OF a
route and reverse the order of things
the next. This will equalize mat tels
so far as the time of the delivery OF
the mail is concerned, IS those re-
siding at the beginning of the route

alton will exist with regard to those
at the end of the route.
Postmaster General Payne now
has the matter under consideration
and will within the next few days is

New shade of Gray.


Very few new colors have come out
this year, but there is one that has a
new name, at all events. Ice gray il
is called; and the shade is really diff
ferent from any of the multitudinous
grays which have been on the marker.
Ice gray is not quite a smoke color,
nor is it at all on the drab order; but
il is an attempt at a pale, clear, trans
parent looking gray. A blush CLINT or
simmer gives it the name.
New color effects in dress goods are
continually being invented; and every
year we see more beautiful shades
than those we have known before The
simple pinks and blues and hard grays
OF ten years ago would hardly be ac-
ceptable now Softer colors and com,
pick interminglings of shades are
sought by the smart women.
The new ice gray is a beautiful win
ter tint, and is handsome when made
up with touches Of green, or simply
combined with white finished by a
trimming Of delicate frosty looking
lace-C Chicago Post.

Large Increase in State and County
Taxes Slated For the COnsidera.
ton OF the Taxpayers.
RANDALL ALONE IN SYMPATHY.
All Other Towns in the County VIII Enjoy
Reduced Taxation For Next Year.-In-
crease in the City S1O.S22.84

The tax payers Of the city of Keno
sha, as was expected, will bear the
brunt of the increase of taxes in the
county next year and the levy which
was completed by County Clerk Crosby
this morning shows that the taxes of
the city for state and county purposes
have been increased more than ten
thousand dollars over last year. This
year the city will be forced to pay for
state aud county taxes the sum of
$50, 102.73 and last year the amount
was only $22,27989. The little town
of Randall, way out in the Western
part of the county, will be bound to
Kenosha with new bond of sympathy
on account of the fact that it is the only
town in the county in which the taxes
for the year are greater than last year.
The total amount to be raised in the
county for all purposes is sos, no, SO an
increase of a little less than four
thousand dollars over last year. Tie
large amount of the increase is
found in the increased school tax
which is just about double the amount
levied for last year. OF course large
amount of this tax is paid back by the
state later for the support of the
schools.
The decrease throughout the towns
of the taxes with the single exception
of the town of Randall is uniform
amounting from one to two thousand
dollars.
The large increase in the State and
county taxes to be paid by the city
next year will undoubtedly cut big
hole in the extra money that the
Council had figured on having for the
year and it is possible that several of
the improvements planned will have to
be laid over on this account. AS Ke-
nosha will be forced to pay almost
ST., 900 more for State and county tax.
es, the Council will probably find it
difficult to make both ends meet with
one per cent levy and it may be neces
sary to increase the levy.
The levy for the present year, as
compared with the levy made last year
is as follows:
