Electricity as Now Understood.

The generation Of Electricity" con-
sists in splitting off an electron from
the atom. The electron then produces
a stress in the other similar to that
due to negatively" charged body.
The remainder of the atom acts as a
positively" charged body, though we
do not know as yet whether the posi-
tive charge is due to a special posi-
tive electron or not. If it is, we have
not yet succeeded in isolating the posi-
tive electron, but it is supposed to be
about ten times heavier than the mega
tive electron. In any case, we have
here an elementary negative charge
of about one-ten-billionth of the abso-
lutte unit and an elementary positive
charge Of the same amount. These
elementary charges attract each other
and repel similar charges. They can
associate with clusters of neutral par
ticles. A negative electron thus asso-
ciated with ordinary matter becomes
a negative ion," and a positive cleo
tron becomes positive ion." Con
duction consists in the wandering of
positive ions down the potential era
dent, and of negative ions up the
potential gradient.-London Electri-
clan.

Directors of the Library Considering
a Plan to Establish Stations
In Other Parts of City
SCHOOLS TO AID IN THE WORK.
Books May be Sent From the Library tc
Other Distributing Centers For The
Benefit of People In Suburbs.

The directors of the Gilbert M. Sim
mons Library are planning to extend
the benefits of the library and plans
are being made whereby sub-stations
of the library will be esta blished in
different parts of the city for the
benefit of readers. This is plan that
has long been considered by the di-
rectors but in the past there have been
SO many objections and hindrances
that the plan has not been given a
trial. At the last meeting of the board
the scheme was taken up again and in
the near future it will be carried out,
The plan will make the public
schools an ally of the library in giving
the people the best reading. The rapid
growth of Kenosha has made the walk
to the library long one for many peo-
pie and on this account some of the
children have been practically denied
the use of the splendid selection of
books provided by Mr.. Simmons and
other public spirited people Of the
city.
Under the new plan several OF the
school buildings will be used as dis
tributing centers for books and the
children instead of making a long
walk to the library during the winter
months will make their selections of
books and hand it to the teachers and
the books will be sent to the schools
and from this point delivered to the
children. While there are not suf-
ficient duplicates in the library to
allow of large selection of books be-
ing sent to each school, it is planned
that about thirty volumes can be sent
out at time and with this number
the desire of the children for reading
matter can be pretty we'll taken care
of.
The change in plans for the dis
tribution of the books will add little
to the cares of the teachers, but they
are nearly all heartily in favor Of the
plan and are willing to take this little
trouble to get the reading matter into
the hands of the children. The plan
as proposed has been tried in many of
sanction of the State library commits
sion and of the librarians of the State.
So popular has the plan been in
some cities that it has been found
necessary to secure wagon to deliver
the books from the libraries to the diff
ferent distributing centers. The di-
rectors are very enthusiastic over the
plan and it will probably be put in
operation before the cold weather sets
in

FORTUNE FOR ADOPTED SON
Joseph A. Mayer Inherits the Entire Es-
tate of the Late william Mayer.


In the County Court Friday after
noon administration was granted in
the estate of the late William Mayer,
formerly of Pleasant Prairie, and Jos.
A. Mayer was named as executor of
the estate. The estate is valued at
from thirty to forty thousand dollars,
and as the son is the sole surviving
member of the family he will be the
sole heir of the estate.
The appointment of the administra-
tor in the estate has brought out an
interesting story, for the papers in the
case go to show that Joseph Mayer,
who is the heir to the property, is not
blood relation of the deceased, but
an adopted son. Thirty-one years ago
the present heir to the estate was an
orphan boy in Milwaukee, being cared
for by his sister. His name was Joseph
A. Allmeyer, and as at that time Vim.
Mayer was resident of Milwaukee, he
met the boy in the street and became
very much attached to him.
In April of the same year William
Mayer and the boy appeared before
Judge Mann in the county court in
Milwaukee, and the old gentleman for
mally adopted Joseph Allmeyer as his
son. AS both of the parents of the
boy were dead his sister, Pauline ALL
meyer, who was then his sole pro-
tector, acted in the part of parent
and gave the needed consent for adop-
ton. Since that time Joseph has
always lived with his adopted father,
and when Mr.. Mayer came to this
county the boy came with him.
There was as strong an affection be-
tween the two as was common for
blood relatives and during the last
years of the old gent1eman's life he
was the one care of the adopted son.
Early in life the son gave evidences of
his ability as business man, and for
several years before the death of VIM.
Mayer the entire property was prac-
tically managed by the son.
The estate is one of the most val
liable probated in the Kenosha court
during the year. 1t consists of three
hundred and fifty acres of land in the
town of Pleasant Prairie, the old
Mayer homestead in Milwaukee and
considerable personal property. The
heir 10 the estate is known to many
Kenosha people and his kindness to
his adopted father is so we'll known to
his friends that they will be pleased to
know that he has been rewarded in so
prince1y manner.

September 9Th, with an enrolment of
three hundred pupils. The children,

A handsome, new crayon portrait Of
Hon. z. G. Simmons, hanging in St.

ton of the future men and women of
St. James. A year ago Mr.. Simmons
aided ST. James people in most gen
erous and noble way to reduce the debt
on their beautiful church property.
AS time rolls on this kind benefactor
will be gratefully remembe and the

DELAY IN BUTRICK CASE.
Doctors State that Bristol Mans Relatives
Consented to Post-mortem.

The Coroner's jury began an in
vestigation Of the death of the late
| William Butrick, of Bristol, in Chica-
go Wednesday afternoon, and there
seems reason to believe that the SEN
sationa1 points of the case will be
eliminated before the matter reaches
the eyes of the law.
The inquest was not completed, but
the doctors in charge of the hospital
in which Butrick died while being pre-
pared for an operation, managed to
produce testimony which went to show
that the permission of the relatives of
Butrick had been granted for the post
mortem examinat ton, which was for
mer1y claimed to have been held with
out their consent.
On the stand DR.. Emil Refs, who
had conducted the operation after
death, stated that he had been given
the consent of the relatives to make
the post-mortem. A letter was pro-
duced from one DR.. Cradle in which it
was stated that both the widow and
ZIG SlCP-ldlHCA VI lHO uSCCdSCu udu
given their consent to the inquest.
The sensational story in regard to
the removal of the heart of Butrick
was emphatical1y denied, and the
nurses in the hospital testified to see
ing DR.. Refs return the heart to the
body before the latter was turned over
to the undertakers for emba1ming.
The case is still attracting great deal
of attention among the hospitals of
Chicago.
