A SERIOUS ACCIDEN T.

Woodwork, Wis, Dec. ga seri-
Gus accident occurred here this fore
noon. Mrs. George Shepard was driv-
ing single horse, Miss Dora Carver
in the buggy with her. In going north
towards the Woodwork creamery they
met Bob Wherry, of Racine. Mrs.
Shepard's horse took fright at his
high rack wagon and ran away. The
ladies we're thrown out and the buggy
was turned bottom side up. The horse
ran onto a steep bank on the roadside
and there slipped and broke its leg.
The ladies were badly bruised, the
buggy was wrecked. The horse had
to be killed, it's broken leg only hang
ing by piece of the skin. The te1e-
phone was called into requisition and
DR.. Stevens was soon on hand to at
tend the ladies injuries. Mrs. Shepard
was so injured she could not walk, al
though she essayed to do so.

Residents of This City Send SAP to
Assist in Building a Memorial
to the Late President.
is ONE OF THE BANNER CITIES.
People of Kenosha Have contributed More
to the Fund Than Many Larger
Cities in the State.

The committee in charge of raising
the fund for the Mckinley Memorial
in Kenosha, made their report Friday
to the State mem bers of the Commits
sion, and the people of the city may
we'll be proud of the gifts made by the
city to the fund to honor the dead pres
ident.
The total amount sent in from Keno
sha can not be given out. The COM
mittee forwarded Friday SAP, but
many gifts have been sent by people
of Kenosha which were forwarded di-
rect1y to the Wisconsin Commissioner
of the fund. The subscription papers
are still to be accounted for, and it is
probable that these subscriptions will
bring the amount paid by the city up
to half a thousand of dollars. The
offering has been free will in every re-
spect. The committee has presented
the petitions to the people of the city
and no one has been urged to make
large gift. School children and work
ingmen have touched shoulders with
the professional men and capitalists of
the city in their effort to make the do
nation OF KenOSha tor the Mckinney
monument d suitable one.
No one who cared to give was over
looked and yet no one was forced to
give a large amount. Among the
cities of the State the contribution
of the people of Kenosha will be one
of the largest received. While the city
is much smaller than Racine it's con-
tribution will be largely in advance of
the Belle City. In making the collec-
ton of the funds the members of the
committee have noted many pathetic
incidents in which men who had known
the President in private life have
come with a small pittance and urged
that it be accepted as silent tribute
to the memory of the dead friend and
President.
Wisconsin promises to be one of the
banner Stat ties in the Union, in raising
the fund and it now seems that the
amount contributed to the fund by the
people of the State will exceed one
hundred thousand dollars.

LESLIE MORTIMER SHAW, now Gov
ernor of Iowa, has been selected by
the President as Secretary of the
Treasury to succeed Lyman J. Gage
Governor Shaw first came intosnation-
al prominence during the sound money
campaign of 1896. He is a lawyer of
ability and has had considerable bust
ness experience. His appointment as
the head OF. the financial bureau of the
government is pretty generally liked
all over the country, and, in the mid
die west, the appointment has been
received with every possible expression
of approval. The only possible crit
cisn that could be made would be that
two Cabinet officers chosen from Iowa
might give that State too much infu-
ence in national councils.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

THE announcement of the retire
4nent of Mr.. Gage will be received
with regret by the conservative inter
ests of the country. He was regarded
by all as an eminently "safe" man,
and even those who differed from him
on public questions recognized his
great ability. He was one of those
men of the hour who always seem to
make their appearance in this country
whenever a crisis is threatened and he
justified the extreme confidence which
the business interests imposed in him.
The knowledge that he was to be at
the head Of the financial business did
much to restore confidence.

CONGRESSMAN SMITH, of Michigan,
is reported to be about to introduce a
bill providing that no foreigner shall
become a citizen until. he shall have
been a resident of this country for
fourteen years. The Congressman
argues in support of the proposed
measure that any seven year old boy
in this country knows more of the du-
ties and responsibilities of American
citizenship than the great majority of
those who apply to the courts for nat
uralizat1on papers, and that since the
boy must wait fourteen years before
he is allowed to exercise the rights of
a voter, that the foreigner should at
least be required to wait an equal
length of time. Every one knows
that many are natura1ized who ought
never to receive citizenship. Just be-
fore the election it is regular prac-
tice, in large cities especially, for the
political heelers of both parties to rush
large numbers of the most il1iterate
and ignorant emigrants before the
compliant judges of their own political
faith and have them take out the nee
essary papers permitting them to vote.
The present method of naturalization
is farce and has been made so by the
Judges who administer the law. The
responsibility for the admission to
citizenship of this vicious element
rests solely upon the judges them
selves and they should be held to a
stricter accountability for their NAL
administration of the naturalization
laws.

The report of the last Isthmian
canal commission recently submitted
to Congress favored the Nicaragua
route principally for the reason that
the price demanded by the Panama
Co. for the rights and titles in that
partially completed waterway was con-
sidered exorbitant by the commission.
The estimated cost of construc-
tion by the Nicaragua route is nearly
500, 100000 while the cost of COM
peting the Panama canal is esti-
mated at S144,O0O,OOO. The French
stockholders of the Panama Company
asked at that time 500, 100000
for the work completed on that
route while the commission estimated
the actual value of the work to be
about $40, 100000 The annual cost of
operating the Nicaragua canal when
completed is estimated to be nearly
81 $50, 900 greater than that for the
Panama, and a deep draught vessel
could pass through the Panama canal
ia about one-third the time required to
pass through the Nicaragua. 1t is now
reported from Washington that the
Panama Co. is about to make definite
offer to sell the unfinished canal to the
United States for $40, 100000, the price
considered fair by the commission.
IF such an offer is made it should be
given careful and seriousg considera-
ton by Congress. The report of the
commission comedies that the Panama
route presents fewer engineering diff
culties; that the operating expenses
would be considered less, and that
ships can pass through the canal in
much quicker time than by the Nicar.
aqua route. The Panama canal would
be of much more commercial value
therefore to the country than the one
recommended by the commission.

STANDING STILL 81 VED LIFE.
HOLLOW PART OF CAISSON DROPPED
SUDDENLY. FALLS OVER MAN
IN EXCAVATION.

Carroll Blake. assistant superintendent for
the foundation and construction company of
the work at No. AZ Broadway, escaped what
seemed TO be almost certain death on Saturday
right by standing perfectly still under cir
cumstances that would naturally cause a man
to try to save himself by moving
A section of the caisson airshaft mad been
swung by a derrick TO within about twenty feet
of the bottom of the excavation, thirty feet
deep. 1t suspended by two chains and
hung perpendicularly. Without warning the
engineer let go his hold on the brake. and the
shaft, which weighed about a ton. began to
descend with great speed.
Blake standing directly under it, talking
with iron worker named Perry. The falling
shaft caught Perry on the foot. cutting off his
toes though with a knife. He fell back
grooming. There not sound from Blake
and he not to be seen. An assistant fore
man was sure that he was crushed under
the shaft that he could not give the signal to
the engineer to raise the shaft. Another gave
this signal and the shaft slowly rose
Blake stood inside of the shaft as il went I'D
and stepped out of 1t calmly. He had cut
across the face and scratched on the back
and bruised both shoulders but was not
enough hurt to interfere with his working the
rest OF the night.
The shaft which fell over Blake is of sheet
steel, twelve feet long and of oval cross sec
ton. A little to side of the centre the long
way is partition which divides the interior
of the shaft into two compartments in one of
which is a ladder. which can be used by men
going to coming from their work at the bot
tom of the caisson. The other compartment is
just big enough to allow the free passage of
the bucket in which earth is hauled OUT. 1t
measures just thirty inches in the clear. and
It was in this space that Blake remained stand
ing when the shaft came down him.
