FALLS ON THE STREET.
Mrs. Barbara Brucker Succumbs to Heart
Disease at Home of w. Il. VanGasbeck.

Mrs. Barbara Brucker Succumbs to Heart
Disease at Home of w. b. VanGasbeck.
Mrs. Barbara Brucker, aged 40 years,
died from heart disease at the home of
w. B. VanGasbeck, II Congress street,
shortly after three o'clock Saturday
afternoon.E Mrs. Brucker had been in
her usual good health during the day
and had started from her home on Jay
city. AS she was walking along Con-
gress street she was seized with the at
tack and pedestrians on the street no.
ticing that she was about to fall, as
sisted her to the VanGasbeck home.
Here she died before physician could
be secured. DR.. Jorgenson reached
the house short time after the death
of the woman and gave out the state
ment that she died from some disease
of the heart.
Coroner Lansdowne investigated the
case this morning and found that an
inquest was not necessary.
Mrs. Brucker was the wife Of Martin
Brucker, tailor, who had resided in
Kenosha for a number of years.
Brucker left the city some time ago
under a charge in the Circuit Court
and at the recent term of the court his
bond was declared forfeited. He has
been given permission to return to the
city and is expected this afternoon.
Mrs. Brucker was well liked in the
neighborhood where she lived and her
tragic death came as shock to her
friends. She is survived by large
family.

Miss Kate Simon, an Employee OF the
Hosiery Works, Disappears Under
Unusual Circumstances.
SUICIDE MAY SOLVE MYSTERY.
Young Lady Lived at the Home of Frank
Slocum ON Prairie Avenue and Left
There Four Weeks Ago.

Grave fears are being felt for the
safety Of Miss Kate Simon, former
emp1oye of the Chicago-Rockford
Hosiery works, who has been missing
from Kenosha for the past four weeks,
and the efforts of her friends to dis
cover her whereabouts have only re-
suited in deepening the mystery.
Miss Simon formerly lived at the
home of Frank Slocum at 918 Prairie
avenue, and all her clothing and per-
sona1 effects are still at the S1ocum
home. She left her room on Saturday,
four weeks ago, and told the landlady
she would return in the evening. This
is the last trace of her found. She
never returned to her work at the
Hosiery and her clothing and trunk
are still at the Slocum home. When
she left the house she was met by a
number of her girl friends and went
down town, but these ladies state that
she returned home in the evening and
had planned to spend the evening at
home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Slocum have waited
anxiously for some word from their
roomer, but no trace of her has been
found more than card from brother
who said that he was of the opinion
that the young lady was IN Milwau-
kee. For several days before her
strange disappearance from Kenosha
Miss Simon had been very dovncast.
She had taken little interest IN her
work and had paid little attention to
her friends. It is said that she had
been deeply in love with young man
of the city who died recently in hos
pita1 in Milwaukee. The circumstances
of the departure of the young woman
are very unusual and some of her
friends seem to think thatit is possible
that she has committed suicide.
Miss Simon was a young woman OF
splendid reputation. She came to Ke'
nosha from Milwaukee some time age
and had been one of the best known
workers at the Hosiery plant. She
was an expert machinist and was earn
ing good wages at the time she left the
emp1oye of the company. She had
lived in the Slocum home ever since
she came to Kenosha and the members
of the family had become considerably
attached to her.
Since she left the city her room has
remained unchanged and the members
of the S1ocum family have made no
efforts to open her trunk or to find out
anything about the young woman
more than to seek to discover her
present wherea bouts. The case was
referred to the police of the city this
morning and they will communicate
with the Milwaukee police in an effort
to locate the girl.

Well Diggers Discover a Pocket OF Gas
on the Farm of H. A. King in
the Town of Bristol.
DEPOSITS MAY BE EXTENSIVE.
Flame Blazes to the Height of Twenty
Feet From the Casing of the WeT.-
Discovery Causes Excitement.

Shortly after O'Clock Saturday
afternoon workmen drilling we'll on
the farm of H. A. King in the town of
Bristol struck strong flow of natural
gas and the little towns of Bristol and
Pleasant Prairie are all excitement
over the discovery. The men had
been drilling the we'll for the past
week, and when the vein of gas was
struck they were boring through a
hard substance resembling Trenton
rock. With a mighty force the gas
escaped from the opening, forcing the
drill out of the we'll and making it i'm
possible for the workmen to continue
with the work. The gas escaped from
the we'll with roar similar to the roar
ing heard IN the gas belts of Indiana
and Ohio. AS soon as possible cas-
ing was placed in the we'll and the flow
of the gas continued. A match was
applied to the top of the we'll and the
flames rose up in a mighty f1ambeau to
a distance of twenty feet from the
ground. All work on the we'll was
stopped pending an investigation of
the strike, and it is thought that the
pocket of gas will be found to be an
extensive one. This is the second
strike of gas that has been made in
Kenosha county, as some eight years
ago the workmen struck vein of fluid
gas on the farm of Ira Brown in the
town of Salem. This vein proved to
be strong one and the gas was piped
into the home of Mr.. Brown and used
as fuel. AT that time offers were made
for a purchase of the farm, but Mr..
Brown still holds it and nothing has
ever been done to develop the well.
The we'll diggers seem to think that
the deposit of gas in the county is an
extensive one, and experts will be
summoned to the King farm at once
to make an examination.
Should it be found that the gas strike
is legitimate one it would result in
great value to the city of Kenosha, as
it would be an easy matter to pipe the
gas from the fields about Pleasant
Prairie to the city, and it would insure
the people natural gas for fuel puT-
poses for a number of years at least.
The King farm is located about mile
and half from the village of Pleasant
Prairie, and it is said to be on the same
vein as the Brown farm. For years
natural gas was used for fuel in the
gas belts of Indiana and Ohio, and the
use of the gas resulted in the building
up of many great industries. 1t is
possible that Kenosha county will be
permitted to enter into a new regime
of industrial prosperity by the same
route.

OLDEST SETTLER GONE.
Robert B. Barnes. Who Came to Kenosha
In 1885, Died Monday

Robert B. Barns, the last of the
early corners to Kenosha county in
1885, died at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Louisa Mcdonnell, in Limestone,
Cattaraugus Co., N. Y, last Monday
morning, April 6, of paralysis. He
was born in Berkshire county, Mass,
February q, 1913, and was therefore
past ninety years of age when his
death occurred.
He moved with his parents to Erie
county, Pa, when still a child. His
first visit to the west was in 1884, when
he took trip by way of Chicago to
central Illinois. Returning to Pennsy1-
vania in the fall of the same year he
married and in June of the following
year built log house in Pleasant
Prairie, in what is now Kenosha
county. For nearly forty years he re-
manned resident of the county, and
then returned to the east, where he
became interested IN the oil business.
All of the settlers of the early months
of 1885 had passed away before the
summons came to Mr.. Barns. He left
three children, Hosea Barns, of this
city, Mrs. Louisa Mcdonnell, of Lime
stone, N. Y, and Mrs. Minnie A.
Meeker, of the same place. His fun
era1 was held today, April 8, at Lime

Kenosha architects. have been notified
that their design of the new twenty
thousand dollar High school at Tiger

designs came into competition with all
the leading architects of the State, and
they were accepted by the unanimous
vote of the Board. The work on the
school building will be started in the
near future.

WAR ON DRUNKENNESS,

| France Is on the eve OF o great agita-
ton against the evils OF drunkenness,
and the movement seems to meet with
general support. a large meeting was
held the other day In the University
OF Paris, and powerful society was
formed called alliance for Social Hy-
glene," The alliance includes all the
French societies formed TO fight dis
ease, Immortality and intemperance.
Casimlr- Perier, ex-presdent of the re-
public, pointed out in passionate
speech the necessity for these bodies
working together, since the evils they
are fighting are closely connected.
France, he declared, had loaded him
with honors. but had not yet satisfied
his ambition as he desired to devote
the rest Of HIS life 10 the cause Of tenn
perance. Among other prominent men
present We're. DR. Mabilleau of the
Musee Social; Jules siegfried, the we'll
known reformer; DR.. Brouardel of the
Academy OF Medicine Dr. Emile Roux
OF the Pasteur Institute, and Dr. Mo-
nod OF the Academy Of Medicine. The
congress decided 10 provide meetings
during the winter In every city of
France on the liquor question. This Is
good move, The liquor evil Is best
fought by the dissemination OF knowl-
edge. PIohibitory laws may be bene-
fetal when the evils they are intended
to guard against are understood, but
laws alone cannot eradicate those
evils.
There Is a quite general war against
drunkenness IN Europe, and the contest
Is fought with some success, too on the
part OF the reformers, II Is war that
should go on all over the world. II may
not be possible, as yet, to close all sa-
looms and bar the saloon element from
controlling municipal affairs In the in.
terest Of vice but It should be possible
to limit the saloon trafflo to the least
conspicuous parts OF civilized communi.
ties. II should be possible TO conflne
the business to the days permitted by
law. And It should be possible to tear
down the seductive advertisements that
offend the decent element by day and
by night and dlsllgure some Of the
most prominent streets In our cities IL
should be possible to tear down the
glaring signboards that are made to
fash forth temptations TO the young
and inexperienced. The war should go
on, until pernicious traffic has been
made to hide it's head in shame and
connne itself to the dark corners where
Il belongs. After that is done, the ques-
ton OF prohibition may come properly
up for consideration.

HOW TO VOTE.

II Is important that voters on Tues
day shall understand something more
about the Australian ballot, which Is
the legal form of voting in Utah, than
merely placing a cross in the circle at
the head Of the ticket Of the party they
wish to support. This Is because 1t is
expected there VIII be good deal OF
what Is commonly known as Scratch
ing"
To vote full party ticket, a cross
should be made in the circle under only
one party emblem; under the flag for
the Republican nominees; under the
rooster for the Democratic candidates.
or under the globe for the Socialists. IL
the voter desires to vote for most OF
the persons on one ticket and one or
more on another ticket cross should
be put under the party emblem, the
pen should be drawn through the name
of the Objectionable person, and q cross
be placed in the square on the right OF
the name selected In his place for the
same office.
Care should be taken when a candi-
date FOR the city Council IA scratched,
to put the cross in favor OF the candl-
date to be supported, In the right place;
that Is. IL a long term candidate is re-
jected. cross should be put in the
square to the right Of the long term
candidate on the other ticket; and so
with the short term candidates. II
a long term candidate Il stratched, and
a short term candidate Is substituted,
the vote for both will be lost.
A little reflection and inspection OF
the form OF ballot furnished to voters
will make this explanation clear.

A WORD OF ADVICE.

Every legal voter should understand
| that he or she Is free to cast ballot
from choice and not at anybody's die
tation The ballot - secret, and no
one can learn how another has voted
| unless the voter chooses 10 disclose u,
Latteroday Saints or "Mormons,' as
they know, are ae free as any other cit
liens 10 make choice of persons for
the Offices TO be hlcd. There are no
Church strings upon them stories TO
the contrary notwithstanding Everyone
should exercise his or her own judg-
ment, and do what is right as cnight-
ened conscience suggests.
The only political revelation that we
know OF is to be found IN the book Of
Doctrine and Covenants, page 5ie;
~, the Lord God, make you free.
| therefore ye are free indeed and the
law also maketh you free;
Nevertheless, when the wicked rule
| the people mourn,
Wherefore, honest men and wise
men should be sought for diligently,
and good men and wise men We should
| observe TO uphold otherwise whatso-
ever Is less than these cometh of
evil
Lest anyone should misinterpret the
words wise men," to signify only per-
sons OF one particular faith or sect we
explain that the trainers Of the Constl-
tuition Of our country are designated in
that way in a revelation TO be found on
page 357;
"And for this purpose have estab-
lished the Constitution OF this land, by
the ha nds of wise men whom | raised
up unto this very purpose" etc.
We regard the elective franchise as u
sacred trust, TO be used for the general
welfare and not merely for the support
OF any personal, ambitious, factlous or
private purpose We believe It to be the
duty OF every citizen, male and female,
TO use II for the benefit Of the COM
munity, TO ensure good government and
promote honesty, purity and good order,
and to suppress fraud corruption, ex-
travagance and the evils that are In
creasing. so that II we cannot have per-
lection In government, we may secure
It to as full an extent as possible. Let
very citizen perform his or her duty
on Tuesday!
