and not have heroism enough to fol-

this is the beginning of death, the

M. Blouet tells this story illustrating
the evils of strong drink.
"A young New Yorker of good family
and good social position had great
fondness for drink. His family and
his friends had done almost every
thing to break him of the habit with
no success. A friend suggested they
try and give him a severe shock. AS
a means to this end they procured
coffin, and the next time he came home
under the influence of drink
they dro,sed him as corpse.
Put him in the coffin, dark
ened the room, but placed few light
ed candles around the coffin and left
the friend to watch him.
He awoke shortly and appeared
greatly puzzled by the surroundings,
when, catching sight of somebody in
the room, he remarked:
Say, where am /?
You're dead answered his friend.
Dead UNI! that's awkward. Say,
how long have l been dead?'
Three days.
"Uh! and are you dead, too?'

CHOICE MAY Be MADE
WeII-known Property Owner Claims
That North Chicago Will Get
Training School.
INFORMATION IS sEMI-OFFIclAL.
1t Is Claimed That 1t Leaked Out Through
Members of the Commission -Kenosha
Not Discouraged by Report.

A well known resident of Kenosha,
who is largely interested in the North
Shore property stated last night that
the commission recently appointed to
secure a site for the Naval Training
Schools on the lake had decided to
locate the school at the site offered by
the people at North Chicago. While
the gentleman was unwilling to allow
The use of his name in connection with
the report he told a representative of
the News tina his information was from
Washington and from a source that
afforded little chance for an error.
The report of this authority is sup
ported by the fact that during the last
few days the North Chicago site has
been visited by tparties of surveyors
who have made careful survey of all
the land offered and have made special
charts in regard to its adapta bility
for the uses of the government. The
North Chicago site is one of the best
found on the lakessshore. 1t contains
something like thousand acres of land
and II is probable that the government
could secure as much more if needed.
It is understood that this site has been
urged by Congressm as--Fos of Illinois
and this fact has perhaps largely in
fluenced the commission in its selection
if such selection has been made.
The report of the Com mission is still
a sealed document, but it is claimed
that several Speop1e.s have been in
formed Of the choice of the Commits
sion.
Of course the report of the commits.
sion will not settle 'the question of the
purchase of the site, and it is possible
that this report will not be accepted,
and that the commission may be or
dered TO make another examination OF
sites offered, Observation-Disclosures made.
If it is true thatENorth Chicago has
been selected as site for the school,
the people of Waukegan, the adjoining
city, are to be congratulated on the
rare good fortune accorded to them by
their "Unc1e Sam"

BIG REALTY DEAL.
John MI. Kehlor and lei. B. Robinson Pur
chase Tract of Land in West Kenosha.

A deal was completed this morning by
which all the property of Mrs. Frank
M. Avery in this city and just outside
the city limits was sold to company
composed of John M. Kehlor and H. B.
Robinson.
The tract of land included ia the
deal contains ninety-six acres of land,
thirty-five acres of which lie in the
city. The tract fronts Prairie avenue
and extends back as lar as Salem
avenue. To the east it extends in part
as far as Rowland avenue. There are
Isl lots already plated within the
limits of the city, The consideration
of the deal has not been made public
but it is said that the price paid was IN
the neighborhood of $4,000
This is the last piece of property
owned by Mrs. Avery Ia Kenosha and
since the sale Of the Brass Works to
the American Brass Company Mrs.
Avery has been making every effort to
dispose of this land. Real estate men
seem to think that the land has been
sold very cheap.and see great chances
for profits to the buyers within the
next few years. The land will at once
be plated and placed on the market.
1t will beIarranged with streets and al
legs and it is probable that sewers will
be put in to arrange for the proper
drainage of the land.
With the exception of the Balm Sub
division there is no tract of land in the
city better situated for homes for fac
tory workers, as it is within walking
distance of all the leading factories.
The entire tract will make more than
four-hundred lots and will be ready for
sale IN the early spring.
Mr.. Kehlor in speaking of the matter
this afternoon, stated that the land
would be placed on the market as soon
as possible. He will be personally in
charge of the sale Of the lots and will
open a downtown Office for regular
real estatesbusiness.
The final deeds have not as yet been
made out on account of the fact that
Mrs. Avery is still in Europe, but the
land con tract, now signed will allow
the immediate sale of the property.

Frank Lucas, of Pleasant Prairie,
is Attacked by a Vicious Dog
and Seriously Injured.
THE ANIMAL is FINALLY KILLED
Dog Is Supposed to Have Been Mad For
Some Time and Fears are Expressed
For His Victim.

A mad dog epidemic in the town Of
Pleasant Prairie is assuming serious
proportions, and Sunday afternoon
Frank Lucas, one of the best known
residents of the village, was seriously
bitten by one of the dogs.
Mr.. Lucas was spending the day at
the home of his father-in-law w, MI. UNI
land, and during the afternoon dog
was seen playing around the dooryard
When the door of the house was opened
the dog ran into the room and got
under one of the beds. Lucas went
after it and attempted to thrown it out
of the house, when the animal showed
fight. In the trouble which followed
the dog jumped at Lucas and planted
his teeth in both his right and his left
wrists. The wounds were not deep, but
the blood flowed profusely from them.
The dog was finally ousted from the
house, and then it was discovered that
1t was mad. It ran about the yard
foaming at the mouth, and attacked
everyone that came within range.
Lucas ran from the house, and secur-
ing the aid of a man who was working
near by, the two went after the mad
dog. 1t fought for it's life, and after a
terrific battle lasting for several min
utes the dog was beaten to death with
club. 1t is not known to whom the
canine belonged, but it is supposed to
be one of those recently bitten by a
dog belonging to John Hannah, and
which was affected with the rabies.
There is no doubt but that the dog was
mad, and it is feared that many other
dogs in the neighborhood were bitten
before he reached the Umland home.
It is impossible to tell at this time
the extent of the injury to Mr.. Lucas.
The right thumb was badly lacerated
by the dogs teeth, and the skin over
the left wrist was broken open. AS
soon as possible simple remedies were
applied to the wounds, and short
time later Mr.. Lucas came to Kenosha
and DR.. G. H. Ripley cauterized the
wounds. 1t is probable that the in ured
man will go to Chicago to have a mad
stone applied to the in jured parts. The
doctor stated this morning that it was
impossible at this time TO tell as to
whether the wound was dangerous or
not.
The farmers out in Pleasant Prairie
are taking heroic measures to prevent
any spread of hydrophobia in the town,
and every dog that acts queerly is
being killed.

Agitation for New Line Brings Many I'M
prOvements to Telephone Exchange.
The agitation started for the indie
pendent telephone line is having very
noticeable effect on the exchange sof
the Wisconsin telephone company in
this city, and it is evident that the
large company is getting ready for
competition when it comes. The com
pany has begun the construction of a
new switch board In the Kenosha ex-
change which will have space sufficient
for the installation of large number
of extra phones.
The lines in the city are also being
overhauled with view of lettering
the service afforded to the customers
of the company. One more operator
has been added to the force at the ex-
change so that at present four young
ladies are employed during the day
and two at night to see that all calls
are promptly answered. Manager Glib
son states that this Improvement was
all provided for before the agitation
for independent lines was started, but
it is noticed that the work is being
done in hurry now that the prospects
for rival company are Frightening.

Message From Washington States That

Message From Washington States That
Training school VIII Come to West.
A dispatch from Washington saws:
1T looks like safe proposition to as
sert that the naval training station
will be located on Lake Michigan be.
tween Milwaukee aud Chicago. A
strong breeze from the Navy Depart
ment conveyed that impression today.
So plain was the evidence furnished.
although it was not direct or positive.
that persons interested in the lower
lake region we're led to believe that
that section no longer has any show to
succeed. The point was brought out
from questions presented to Secretary
Moody and members OF the Naval
Board of Investigation regarding the
situation, and as straws point to the
direction of the wind, it may be said
that the lower lakes region received
hard blow from the developments of
the day.
The reports nearly completed. That
it will select site on the west shore of
Lake Michigan between Chicago and
Milwaukee, seems almost certain.
Points on the lover lakes are too far
east. Huron points are inaccessible.
The desire of the. Naval Board is not
only to get desirable location for the
station from a nautical point of view,
but it is regarded as of paramount i'm
portance that the station be accessible
to the centers of traffic, yet removed
from the influences of the larger
cities.
Congressman Cooper is Hopeful.
These points were brought to the at
tention of Ohio people today. They
were greatly interested in sites near
Cleveland and Sandusky, o. But they
now regard their case as hopeless.
They have the impression that some
site between Milwaukee and Chicago
will win.
Representative Cooper of Racine is
the only member of the House from
that section who is in the city. He has
called upon the members of the Board
of Naval officials several times during
the past few days, and also upon Sec
rotary Moody. He was told this even
ing what the impressions of the lower
lakes people are, and was asked what
ne thought of the situation and the
prospect of Wisconsin getting the sta
ton. Mr.. Cooper said:
GAIL care to say on the subject is
that have called upon the officials and
feel very hopeful that the station will
be located at some point in the First
district. OF course, this is wholly
speculative, but believe that we have
offered the most suitable sites, all
things considered, and that the expert
officials who have examined into the
situation will be convinced of that
fact. feel very hopeful"

COUNTY PAYS ITS DEBTS.
County Orders to the Amount of Over Four
Thousand Dollars Ready Tomorrow.

County Orders to the Amount Of Over Four
Thousand Dollars Ready Tomorrow.
Comfy Clerk Crosby has just COM
pleted the work of issuing the county
orders for bills approved at the recent
meeting of the County Board
and the orders will be ready for
distribution tomorrow. The orders
foot up to over four thousand dollars
and are drawn to the order of more
than five hundred people. Most of the
orders are small, and yet they take
just as much work as if each of them
was for thousand dollars.
During the next two weeks the clerk
will be worked to death, issuing the
orders.
A large percentage of orders drawn
are for small accounts due for witness
fees and similar services. Many of
these orders will never be called for
and after year or SO they will be
turned back to the County Board and
destroyed. Each year the board has
the extreme pleasure of destroying
several hundred dollars worth of un-
called-for orders.
