By far the most dangerous crossing

By far the most dangerous crossing
In the city is that at Division street.
All view of the tracks south of the
crossing is cut off from any one ap-
preaching from the west by the build.
ings of the Carter Mfg. Co. and the
elevated tracks make it motss difficult
to see trains from the north which
often run at the rate of sixty miles an
hour at this point until almost on the
crossing. Division street connects on
the west with the Burlington road, one
of the most travelled highways in the
county. Since the trolly line spoiled
the road to the north nearly all of the
traffic coming into the city from the
northwest comes in on Division street
and has to pass the crossing. Several
serious accidents have been narrowly
averted at this crossing recently and if
possible the railway company should
be induced 10 put in subway. Unless
some precautions are taken some acct
dent is almost sure to happen.

Recorders at Silver Lake Hail Sammy
Davey a Thirteen Year Old Boy
as Hero OF the Season.
BOY IS GIVEN A SPLENDID MEDAL
Last Sunday the Boy Saw Boat Capsize
Hold Him Back he Saved Seven Lives

All the world loves hero, and the
prettiest story of heroism that has
been told in this section of the country
in many day comes from Silver Lake,
where little Sammy Davey, thirteen
year old boy, is the hero of the season.
Last night the guests of the various
cottages about the lake presented Sam.
my with a gold medal as mark of
recognition for his bravery. The
medal is beautifully set with precious
stones, and on one side of it is the in
scription: ITO Sam Davey. The Hero
of Silver Lake. July 10, 1908. Seven
Lives Saved"
The little incident which brought
Sammy into notice occurred on last
Sunday when the boy made the re-
markable record of saving seven lives
from the waters Of the AXE. Sammy
is a member of a we'll known Chicago
family, and with his parents and sister
he had been spending the summer at
the lake. Sunday is always busy
day al Silver Lake, and last Sunday a
party came out from Chicago to be the
guests of J. B. Krause, and during the
afternoon the men fitted up the yacht
Eldora and started for a cruise on the
lake. About three.quarters of mile
from the Krause landing the boat cap
sized. The boat could not be righted
and the men thrown into the
water chung to the sides and rigging of
the overturned boat. The high wind
and driving rain made the cries of the
men almost inaudib1e on the beach and
they we're rapidly losing their strength
in their efforts to keep their heads
above the water.
Davey here came on the scene. He
was running along the beach with his
mother anxious to get in out of the rain
storm, and heard the cries for help.
In the dim distance he saw the men
fighting for their lives, and although
his mother attempted to prevent him,
he jumped into row boat which was
near the beach and with a steady pull
started out for the drowning men.
1t was matter of life and death and
the boy showed the GOODNESS Of life
saver of fifty years experience. He
finally reached the men hanging to the
sides of the boat and loaded four of
them in the boat while the other three
chung to the rear end of the boat. The
boy then rowed with his burden to the
beach.
When the boat had been unloaded of
its cargo the boy tied it up and went
off whistling as if he had done just an
ordinary thing.
In the meantime the people near the
lake had been attracted by the daring
of the boy, and they seized him and
carried him on their shoulders to one
of the cottages. AS soon as the men
had been revived they voted the boy a
gold medal for his bravery, and com.
mittee was sent down to Chicago to
purchase it. The medal arrived last
night and was presented to the boy
with great deal of ceremony.

WANT COUNTY TO DRAG LAKE.
Powers Lake People Want the Sheriff t.
Drag for the Remains of an Unknown.

Powers Lake People Want the Sheriff to
Drag for the Remains of an Unknown.
The people residing in the neighbor-
hood of Power Lake have kept the
telephone line busy today attempting
to get the sheriff to send force Of
men to the lake to drag for the body of
an unknown man recently drowned
there. The men in the employ of one
of the ice companies, spent several
hours dragging for the body, but
failed to locate it. The people seem to
think that the county officials have
nothing to do but stand at the end of a
pole and drag about in the weeds at
the bottom of the lake.
They were promptly notified that if
any dragging was done it would be
done by the people living near the lake.
The county will, of course, pay the
funeral expenses of the unfortunate
man when the body is found, but it
will take no part in the work of re-
covering the body.

The new system of caring for the
city's dependent poor inaugurated by
the present Council Committee on
paupers is working wonders in the
way ofIcuttingIdown expenses. The
business like administration of just
this one department will save the city
thousands. Take the item of rent for
an illustration. Last year the city
paid nearly sixteen hundred dollars for
rent for the dependent poor. Under
the new regime the city's dependents
are required to live in the quarters
furnished by the city instead of choos-
ing their own. Many of them have
refused to accept these terms and
the city has consequently refused to
pay rent for them any longer so that
the expense to the city for rent will be
less than three hundred dollars this
year. The saving on the rent item
alone not to mention the profits of the
municipal grocery will soon pay for
the poor farmland make 1t possible for
the city to erect buildings large enough
to accommodate all the dependents. 1t
has been hard and thankless task FOR
the committee but the results achieved
have more than justified their action.
Any one who is unfamiliar with the
way public business lis transacted has
no idea of the pressure brought to bear
upon the members of the committee to
retain this or that person on the pay
rolls of the city or of the sources from
which such pressure comes. The com
mittee has turned deaf ear to threats
and pleadings alike and has succeeded
in cutting down the expenses of the
city in this direction to something
near what they ought to be. The city
will reap the reward of their 6rmness
for years to come.

WORK is STARTED
Plans for the Great Tabernacle at Zion
City Made Public and;Work Begun

Plans for the Great Tabernacle at Zion
City Made Public andiWork Begun
Work is just now beginning on the
new Shiloh Tabernacle at Zion City,
which Dowie plans to make very
large and pretentious structure. It is
big job, and in order to better do the
work, special railroad track has been
built across the city to the site at the
west and a $4,000 steam shovel has
been purchased to do the great amount
of excavating.
The building will be $50 to $40 feet
of oriental architecture and will cost
about 100000. It will be of skeleton
steel construction with solid cement
base, limestone outside walls and red
pressed brick. It will have two tow
ers in front, each 200 feet high. In
the towers will be clocks, chimes and
an observatory.
The building will face east with an
imposing fight of stone steps at the
main entrance. The auditorium will
be of circular shape planned to seat
i, 600 persons. The choir gallery will
seat 900. Sound-refecting walls back
of the speakers platform and the choir
gallery will aid the acoustics of the
building. A great pipe organ will be
built back TO the choir. There will be
6 1000 seats on the main floor and 8,40O
in the two galleries, which will be
reached by elevators.
The dome will be 100 feet above the
main floor at its highest point. It will
be built of steel and covered with glass
and sheet metal. There will be ven-
tilating and heating plant and electric
lights. The Baptistry basin will be
65 feet long and Is wide, a river-like
plan. It will be arranged with flowers
and shrubbery, with water flowing
from a waterfall presenting a unique
appearance.

RACINE HAS BIG FIRE
j. I. Case Threshing Machine Plant DAM
aged to the Extent ST Sae 900

-
Following a dull explosion shortly
before one O'Clock Wednesday after
noon, fire broke out in a large three
story wooden store house Of the J. I.
Case Threshing Machine Company, in
Racine, and for two and one-half hours
it threatened to wipe out the entire
plant valued at. $3,O0O,0OO. The entire
FIRE department was called out and
was assisted by the Case company pri-
vate fire department, their combined
efforts combining the fire to the wooden
building, although it was hard work
to stop the flames from getting into
the erecting department to the south.
When the fire was raging the loss was
estimated at from 100000 to S15O,OOO,
but officers of the Case company say il
will not exceed $50, 900, and insurance
agents claim $5O,00Ois high estimate.
In the building was stored threshing
machines, engines, paint, iron and
other raw material. This together
with the second and third floors of the
structure is lost.
At the time the fire broke out Fred
Bramo and William Brock were seated
on wagon adjoining the building.
Flames burst through the windows
and they narrowly escaped being in
cinerated. In less than FIVE minutes
the upper part of the building was a
roaring furnace, famed by strong
wind from the northeast, the flames
reaching high in the air and spread
ing toward the immense four and FIVE
story brick buildings of the company.
Thousands of people assembled and
although the fire marshall had from
thirty to forty streams of water pour
ing on the fire it appeared to gain
Roadway.
Chief Cape was advised to wire Mil
waukee and other cities for assistance,
but he refused to do so claiming that
he would have the FIRE under control
in short time, and that even should
the entire store house be destroyed the
large buildings, which were protected
by iron shutters, could not burn and
that the wind was not of sufficient
violence to carry the fire beyond. BY
three O'Clock he had the FIRE nearly
out. Sparks from the fire flew long
distance and small FIRE broke out at
the ]. /. Case Plow Works across the
river. It was extinguished by the
Plow company department.
With the exception of one or two
fremen being cut and burned there
were no accidents. The building part.
~ destroyed, is located at the inter
section of State, St. Clair and Erie
streets. It will be replaced by large
four story brick store house.

The ordinances which will make
possible the extension of the sewer dis.
trict and the Improvement of property
in the western part of the city are go
ing steadily forward ard the opposi-
ton which it was supposed would de-
velop when the matter got before the
council has so far failed to appear. 1t
is probable that some of the aldermen
have been misquoted as to their views
on sewer extensions, but If any of
them were at one time inclined to stop
the growth of the city by refusing to
give all the sewer accommodations
possible under the present system to
the owners of real estate in the west
ern part of'the city who wished to i'm
prove it, they have since changed their
views. Kenosha has lost great op-
portunity to add considerably to her
population during the pastyear simply
because there were no accommodations
for the people seeking to locate here
and the members of the council evil
IDENTIFY do not care to have all the
blame for the present state of affairs
laid to them. If the !sewer extension
ordinance is put through without de.
lay it may be possible to induce prop.
erty owners in the districts taken in tc
put up houses enough to at least take
care of the men who will be needed al
the Jeffery factory as soon as the new
buildings are completed.

Kenosha Pool Player Defeats jerome, of

Peter Schmitt, the pool champion of
Wisconsin, met and defeated Frank
Jerome, of Milwaukee, at the Schmitt
parlors in this city Wednesday night.
Schmitt was not in his old-time cham
pionship form, but he had little trouble
IN disposing of the Milwaukee man
and at the end of the nights play he
had score of 152 to 116 for Jerome.
Jerome seemed to be decidedly off his
game and the presence of a large
crowd in measure made it impossible
for the men to play the best possible
game. Schmitt was decidedly steady
IN his play and twice he drove the en-
tire fifteen balls from the table. Je
rome failed to make clean sweep at
any time and the best score for the
visitor during the evening was Is.
The play last night was the first of a
match of three hundred points. The
two men will meet in Milwaukee this
evening to conclude the match.
