Ice Cutting Starts on the Inland Lakes
OF Kenosha County and a Bio
Harvest is Expected.
ICE RUSHED INTO THE MARKETS.
Union Falls to Make Any Trouble Among
the Ice Cutters But Trouble is Ex-
pected Early Next Month.

Five hundred men entered the ice
fields of Kenosha county Friday and
the harvest for the year is on. It had
been planned by the compa MES to wal
another week before the harvest
but the urgent demand for ice in the
cities of Chicago and Milwaukee made
It necessary for the plows to start.
The ice being harvested is of a very
inferior quality. None of it is being
housed in the big plants along the
lakes but as fast as it is taken from
the lakes it is being rushed into cars
and hurried to the cities to supply the
absolute need.
Powers lake has not as yet been in.
vaded. The ice is less than six inches
thick and for this reason the lakes are
being cut all over in order to secure
sufficient to fill the cars. The railway
company has already begun to make
arrangements for handling the crop
and cars are being called in from all
parts Of the country and they will be
sent to Kenosha ard from this point to
the different ice centers. In the mean
time the Chicago companies are get
ting the men together for the winter
and it is expected that within another
week three thousand men will be in
the county to begin the harvest IN
earnest. The companies are having a
hard time to secure men and advertise
ments are being inserted in papers in
all parts of the country. The band OF
workmen will be, of course, roug h
band but it is probable that the CON.
panies will be able to hold them in
check until after the houses are filled.
Thus far there has been no open
break between the men and the man.
ayers Of the big companies. Many of
the men that have come into the
county have been impressed into the
unions but there is still large non
union element which makes it impos.
sible for the men to organize strike
which would put stop to the work. 1t
will be several weeks before there will
be sufficient men on hand to make such
a strike effective.
The Chicago companies are expect.
ing the present season to be the banner
season in this county and it is expected
that several millions Of tons of ice will
be cut on the lakes. Most of this ice
will be shipped direct to Chicago to fill
the large houses along the route of the
different railways and it is possible
that no effort will be made to fill the
houses in the county until after the
| first of the year.

kenosha Electors Given a Chance to
Test the Value OF the Voting
Machine at Spring Election
CAN GET MACHINE ON NEW PLAN.
American Voting Machine Company Would
Install the Machine and Grant Long
Time for the Payment.

kenosha electors may have chance
to vote by machine at the coming city
and state elections, as the America
Voting Machine company of New York
is flooding the city officials with offers
for the installation of the machines
here IN manner where the cost of the
purchase will be distributed over sew
eral years and will in no way interfere
with the present cramped condition of
the city finances.
The company is offering to put in as
many machines as may be needed by
the city and.allow the Council to make
small payment down on them, and
take a mortgage on them for the re.
mainder of the pay. The cost of in
stalling the machines for all the wards
in the city would be considerable, but
with an equalized set of payments the
city could pay for them in five, ten or
even fifteen years, and in this way the
burden to be borne in any one year
would be exceedingly light.
/ The machines have never been in
exception of few in the city of Mil
waukee There they have given the
best of satisfaction, and in other states
in the Union where the machines are
used they have proven to be great
benefit as we'll as great money saver.
The result of any election in city
may be known Immediately after the
close of the polls, as the machine
works so that the entire vote is added
as fast as the votes are cast.
The new patents secured by the New
York company have made the mach
ines models of simplicity, and for this
reason there will no longer be the OPP
position to them on account of the fact
that they are difficult to operate. The
machines we're put in all over the state
of New York this year and worked so
well that the result of the election was
known within an hour after the vote
was cast.
A similar proposition has been made
to several of the towns of the county,
and the New York company is evident
~ planning TO make Kenosha county
test county for the use of the mach.
ines in this state.
Should the offer be accepted the cost
of elections in the city would be great
~ reduced as nearly all the election
officers could be done away with and
the automatic machine would do the
work which has in the past been left to
half dozen clerks and assistants.

Mrs. Lizzie Wild of This City Refuses

that her husband to be was simply a
plain laborer and not railway mag
nate as she had expected. The court
ship was more than romantic-it was
unusual, Mrs. Wild recently became
a subscriber to a matrim onia1 paper
and in this paper she discovered that
Kellow was looking for bride. She
correspondent with him and the
two exchanged pictures. The wedding
was arranged and the husband elect
forwarded a pass with which Mrs.
Wild went to the Nebrask city. The
plans for the meeting we're carried out
but when the bride to be got off the
train she saw approaching her COM
mon laborer. He didn't wear fine
clothes. nor was he anything like the
husband she had planned him to be-.
In about a day she discovered that
loves young dream had been blasted
and she quietly slipped out of Omaha
and went to visit sister at Fremont
Neb. Kellow, heart broken over the
loss of his intended bride, made an
effort to locate her and then wrote to
Kenosha to discover if she had re-
turned home. He is again on the list
and if any of the other women in Ke-
nosha desire to make trial for him
his address can be had by commune
eating with the matrimonial bureau,
Mrs. Wild evidently prefers single
blessedness and she will return to this
city and continue her work as a board

WOMAN'S WORK
The New Woman.

She talked with great intensity of
each mans base propensity, and
spoke with volubility of woman's
higher plane;
She dwelt on domesticity with men
tai elasticity, and said that such
felicity was really quite in vain.
With gestures Oratorical and phrases
metaphorical she voiced the pow
ers numerical that woman had
untold,
And spoke with zeal Grammatical of
voting systematical, and ballot
boxes spherical, and votes not
bought with gold.
She said in each vicinity the doctors
of divinity would come from
femininity; in boomers they
would be;
And matrons with rapidity would
lose all their timidity, and no
more assininity in Congress
would we see.
And while with such audacity she
showed her great capacity, and
talked with great didacity, her
husband learned to sweep;
And while with such agility she
dwelt on her utility with such
intense pugnacity, he put the
twins to sleep.

The Life Beautiful in the Country.

To receive and assimilate the sub
tie influences of the life beautiful,
IN must keep her perspective
correct, says Mrs. Henry Wight
(Georgia).
off she has money or social infu-
ence or if she has not, she must learn
to regard them in their rue relation,
as very desirable adjuncts of life,
but not as an ultimate end and aim
of all effort, nor as determining fac
tors of her conduct toward others,
except inasmuch as they may be used
for good. The woman in the coun-
try in her nearness to nature has a
beautiful opportunity, if she will cul-
tivate her perceptive and receptive
faculties. The billowing
fields of grain, the green of the cir
cling forest, the drift of bloom, and
the delight of perfect fruit hanging
low on the boughs, all have wonder
full messages for her alone, if she
will take the time to see and learn
them. She needs correct perspective,
also, in the ordering of her home
and her daily toll, in order that she
may distinguish between those du-
ties which are real and vital, and
those fancied obligations brought
about by a fad or fancy of passing
endurance. The frills and tucks on
the little frocks will wear out di-
rectly and be forgotten, and the tired
mother be none the richer, but the
strolls and sweet communion with
each other will draw the little ones
very near to her very heart, and the
loving initiation into the benignity
of nature, the patient and delicate
explaining of the mysteries of life,
and the inculcated reverence for the
divine source of all life and beauty,
are things which will endure, and
bring forth fruit an hundredfold."
The house of the countrywoman,
Mrs. Wight concludes, can be made
ga beautiful expression of her proven
ideals, adapted to the means she may
