tai. The meeting Oh Friday night
will bring these elements together,
and with them vill come a number Of
women who have been prominently
connected with charitable work in Ke-
nosha during the past few years.
Already sites are being suggested
for a proposed hospital. and it has
even beer suggested that the county
board would be plea sed to lease the
old county building to the city for this
purpose at very low rental.
Nothing can be done towards select
ing site or opening the hospital until
a society is formed to secure funds fer
operation. 1t is claimed that the ex
pense of running the hospital would
be from FIVE to seven thousand dollars
a year, but quite little of this amount
would be paid in by the patients. Free
hospitals in many of the cities of the
size of Kenosha have been made self,
supporting by endowments or by the
fees paid by patients cared for. ST,
Luke's Hospital, in Racine, has been
supported for number of years by
voluntary contributions from inter
ested parties, and there is no reason
why the liberal people of Kenosha
should not be able to do as we'll. It is
the duty of every citizen of the city to
be present at the meeting to be held
next Friday evening and lend his or
her aid to the good cause.

IN spite of the promises made by
President Arnold to the special COM
mittee appointed by the Council to in
vestigate the street railway the un-
slightly rampant of.paving brick taken
up by the company when the curve
was put in last winter still continues to
ornament (0 Market square. The prop
erty owners and merchants In the
vicinity are becoming impatient over
the delay and Care unable to see why
the pavement was not'sreplaced when
the frost first came out of the ground.
If the company was losing money
there might be some excuse for the de-
lay, but the line 'is doing splendid
business, and shas been from the day
the cars commenced running. The
people have patronized the line much
more literally than the promoters ex-
pected and. the business promises to
increase greatly during the summer.
When the franchise originally pur-
chasedaby Mr.. Arnold was knocked out
by the decision of the Supreme Court,
the present owners were in tight
place. Thousands of dollars had al
ready beensspent on the line and the
investment had been rendered prac-
tical1y valueless by the decision. In
stead of taking advantage of the pre-
dicament in which the promoters found
themselves every effort was made on
the part of the city to adjust the mat
ter with perfect fairness to all parties,
and the people of Kenosha have more
than an ordinary right to expect that
the street railway company will be par
ticu1arly regardful of their rights. It
begins to look however, sif President
Arnold would have to give a little
more of his personal attention to the
line if the people are not to repent of
their for bearance.

President Pfennig Follows Up His
Plan to Secure an Emergency
Hospital For kenosha.
MASS MEETING NEXT FRIDAY.
Mayor Interviews Prominent Citizens and
Is Greatly Encouraged by the Prospects
For a Society to Have Charge.

After years of waiting official action
has been taken to secure the opening
of an emergency hospital in Kenosha

Pfennig sent out call for meeting
of the people of the city to take some
move to form an Association to open
and have charge of the proposed insti-
tuition.
The meeting will be held at the
Auditorium of the Y. M. c. A. on
next Friday evening, and every per-
son in the city interested is asked to
attend aud take some part in formu-
lating some plan for the much needed
institution. During the past week
Mayor Pfennig has called on many
people in the city and has received a
been promised the support of every
party seen, and some of the leading
ladies of the city have promised to
give their best assistance to the work
of getting the hospital started. The
official notice sent out by the mayor
follows.
TO the people of Kenosha:
Recognizing that one of the great
est needs of our growing city is a
suita BILE emergency hospital at which
the sick and wounded can receive
proper care and treatment, every citi-
zen Of Kenosha, both male and female,
interested in the starting of a Hospital
Association, is asked to meet at the
Y. M. C. A. building on next Friday
evening at which time some prelini-
nary steps will be taken to start the
work of formingIthe association.
CHARLES H. PFENNIG.
No invitations will be given except
the general invitation in the papers,
and it is expected that every one in the
city will spread the notice of the meet
ing SO that the hall will be filled to

The doctors are taking an active in.
terest in the plan of the mayor, and all
have pledged their hearty moral and
financial support to the plan. The
men managing the industrial plants in
the city have also met the mayor half

that the factories will be more than
pleased to contribute funds for the
building and maintenance of hospi.

BIG FIRE AT POWDER MILLS
Laflin & Rand Company Sustain Loss of
$4,000 at Their Plant.

AT $50 o'clock Friday evening fire
was discovered in the pulverizing mill
of the Latin & Rand powder plant in
Pleasant Prairie, and the entife mill
was destroyed, entaiing loss of from
So, 900 to $4,000, and throwing more
than fifty men out of employment.
The origin of the FIRE is unknown.
The mill was running at the time the
FIRE was discovered, but the men had
all gone home to supper, and for this
reason the fire had got start and went
beyond control. The building was
filled with charcoal being ground for
the powder. The men worked like
heroes to prevent the flames being
communicated to the big storehouses
IN which thousands of tons of powder
had been stored. They succeeded, but
several men were severely burned.
There was no FIRE protection in the
village, save the protection provided
for the plant, and this was entirely in
adequate to cope with the FIRE. The
entire plant was crippled by the fire,
and an indefinite shutdown has been
ordered
The pulverizing mill was said to
have been the most modern and 1arg-
est in this country, and was erected
less than four years ago. There was
no insurance on the plant. The offices
of the company are at Paterson, N. j.,
and some of the officials Of the COM
pany are expected here in a few days
to decide on the rebuilding Of the
plant. The company has a number of
large Government contracts, and this
work will be delayed by the, fire.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
While science is struggling to produce
precious stones. nature, always in the ad-
vance. has Just given the world Q new
gem.
A beautiful mineral was very recently
discovered In Southern California and sent
to Tiffany's expert mineralogist. Doctor
George G. Kunz. and Professor Charles
Baskerville. professor of chemistry in the
University Of North Carolina, for classif-
cation.
On examination It was found to be q
specimen Of a variety Of a mineral called
spodumene, heretofore believed to be ex-
tinct.
The reason for this deduction lay in the
fact that ordinary spodumene is generally
found in large. opaque n whitish crys-
tails. but occasionally very small. highly
colored crystals would crop out. n this
led those versed in the art Of minerals
to conclude that the large white. opaque
pieces had at some remote time been as
brilliant in tints INC transparency as the
smaller pieces.
Now. the new mineral exactly fulfilled
the conditions above cited; the pieces were
az large as g mans hand. they were per-
fectly clear and of a rich lilac color. 30
there could be no doubt that the deduction

ever dangerous to the white men Of the
South.
Tren It was noticed that the negro was
af s:1 OF the mysterious name Of the Ku-
Klux Khan. and could be held In check by
his reverence for what he supposed to be
the supernatural
The Khan had q purpose. At nrst It did
good service In rendering the life and
property of the white men safe, but the
power It obtained was abused and ex-
cesses were committed.
The last heard Of the Ku-Kiux Klan was
on March L. 1903. when a detective was
murdered by masked men In Arkansas
and eleven of the band were arrested; but
they. like half OF the bands In the South.
were not the real Southern Ku-Kluxers.
The original band. It was afterward
learned. had disbanded In 1853. when. By

ed to the radiations. and all OF them were
photographed and viewed by ultraviolet
light.
It was discovered by Ritter In 1901 that
beyond the extreme violet Of the visible
spectrum. there were certain rays that
are invisible to the sense of sight, yet
these rays will readily manifest them
selves on q Photographic plato like light;
these were termed ultraviolet rays.
Now, as Tyndail expresses It bodies
either transmit light or absorb Il, but
| there Is a third case In which light failing

sorbed. but converted into rays that may
be seen.
This phenomenon Is called nuorescsnca
and Is what kunzite does when the ultra

light.
There are several methods for obtaining
ultraviolet rays. but the simplest. and
perhaps the most efficient. Is to inclose
the sparks given by an induction coil.
