GERMAN SYRUP.

We want to impress on our readers
that Boschee's German Syrup is posi-.
lively the only preparation on the
market today that does relieve and
cure consumption. It contains the
specifics, such as pure tar, extracts of
gums, ETC., which have been so highly
endorsed for the cure Of coughs, colds
and consumption by the great medical
congresses. The consumptive, whether
his disease is IN the throat or lungs,
must have rest al night, and be free
from the spasm of dry and racking
cough in the morning. The diseased
parts want rest, healing and soothing
treatment, and the patient needs fresh
air, good food, etc. German Syrup
will give free andl easy expsctorati,n
in the morning with speedy and pes-
n1ansnt relief. Small bottles, Is cents:
regular size, containing nearly four
times as much, rs cents. At all drug.

WORK A NEW GAME.
Two Smooth SWindIers Defraud Farm
ers in Western Part of County
BY Means of New Scheme.
FARMERS PAY FOR RELEASES.

A swindle, resembling in character
the old lightning rod game, is being
worked in western Kenosha county and
several victims have been reported.
The scheme is worked by two men
and this is the way they do it:
One of them goes to a farmer and
offers to put in electric lighting ap.
paratus for lighting his entire farm
including big arc light in front of
the residence.
The contract says that the lighting
will cost Sos and the farmer thinks
it means for the entire equipment,
but in the correct place to make it
binding In the contract is the word
"each,'' meaning when the contract is
dissected, that the cost will be Sos for
each light.
The farmer does not discover this
until few days later when second
man comes along. He talks over the
matter of lighting and says that of
course the lights are to cost Sos each
and indifferent1y states that the first
man had no right to do the business
as he did, but that in order to have
things entirely satisfactory, he (the
second many will take charge of the
contract and not force the farmer to
put in the system seeing that he
thinks the Sos light too much. For
doing this, he says he must be paid,
and he gets all out of the farmer that
he can, the amounts varying in the
cases reported from $13 to $50.
The operations of the fellows have
not been confined to Kenosha county
but they have been extended over into
Lake County, iii.

Men Love the Neat Woman.

There is an attraction in neatness
and order all their own. Their lack is
felt even when there is great beauty
to dazzle the eye. know that there
are men who tolerate slack, untidy
women, but have always regarded
them as martyrs to duty, mistaken in
the size of the obligation laid upon
them. have never blamed the man
who summed untidiness at home, be
he father, husband, son or brother,
and that, my friends, Is the real whip
that drives some men from their own
dresides. The really neat woman Is
neat at all times, and the slack one
10 very unwlse when she INDUCES her
propensities az home. Cleanliness
may be next to goodness, and certain
u nsatnsss 10 next to beaeuty.

0. Hunt in Charge OF the Spring De-
partment at Simmons Factory
Has Narrow Escape.
YOUNG WOMEN STOP MACHINERY.
Hunt Owes His Life to Presence of Mind OF
Margaret Burns and Minnie Held
Who stopped Machinery.

Misses Minnie Heldt and Margaret
Burns were the heroines of very ex-
citing accident at the Simmons factory
on Monday afternoon and had it not
been for the presence of mind of the
two young women O. Hunt, the fore
man of the spring department at the
factory, might have lost his life or at
least been manned for life. Hunt had
his arm caught in the cogs of one of
the machines at the factory and while
the other women in the department.
were almost frightened to death by the
accident Misses Burns and He1dt took
a practical view of the matter and
rushing to the belts stopped the ma
chinery in time to prevent Hunt being
terribly mangled.
Mr.. Hunt is in charge of the spring
department at the factory, and late in
the afternoon while attending to his
duties he walked too close to one of
the machines. The machine was COM
posed of number of revolving cog
wheels, and the coat which Hunt was
wearing was caught in the cogs. In a
second the clothing was being whirled
around the wheels, and it looked as il
Hunts arm would be drawn into the
wheels and if not severed, SO mangled
that it would have to be amputated.
There were many young women at
work in the plant at the time and most
of them fled in terror. Miss Heldt saw
the peril of her employer, and summon
ing to her aid Miss Burns the two wo-
men started for the shafting, and by
great effort managed to release the
belt which carried the machine in
which the arm of the foreman had been
caught. When the machine was
stopped it was found that it had torn
the clothing from the arm of the un-
fortunate man and was beginning to
cut into the flesh.
AS soon as the belt had been thrown
off Hunt had sufficient presence of
mind to reverse the machine, and his
injuries resulted in little more than a
scratch. Had the machine run sec.
ond longer the man would have been
terribly injured. The two young wo.
men were greeted with cheer after
cheer for their heroic actions.
Mr.. Hunt was able to be at his work
this morning. and states that his In,
jury will not in any way interfere with
his work.
