MRS. AVERY i'm ROME.

Former Owner of the Chicago Brass Mills
One of the most brilliantly hand
some young widows Kenosha has
known has become a social lionne in
Rome, feted, toasted, welcomed cordi-
daily to the highest circles of that
ancient and aristocratic capital. She
is the daily associate of Processes,
duchesses and other members of the
haute noblesse; nor is any Italian pail
ace so exclusive that it's doors do not
swing open at her touch. She is Mrs.
Frank Morris Avery, formerly owner
and manager of the Chicago Brass
works.
The history of her sojourn in Europe
is history of steadily successive So
cial triumphs. Her success has been
due partly to the chaperonage with
which she has been favored, but
largely to her own charms of person
ard manner.
In Rome she is a companion of Mrs.
George Peabody, of Boston, who
belongs to the select ones of that
ELECT city. Mrs. Peabody is sister
Of Ambassador George Won L. Meyer,
and has left nothing undone to further
the aspirations of sthese charming
Americans
The glories of the old Roma society
have been unfolded 10 them without
stint. No woman now in Rome is
more talked about than Mrs. Avery
with her handsome face and figure.
She was presented to Queen Mar.
gherita recently, wearing a gown
which she wore when presented to
Alexandra ofssEngland in the spring.
1t was said to be the most beautiful
example of the costumer's art to be
found at that notable function.

PRAY WHILE ON THEIR BEATS.
Unusual Requirements are Asked of Zion
City's Policemen.

In addition to their duties as guar
dams of the peace and inspectors, on
the alert for violators of the anti-to-
bacco smoking ordinance, policemen
at Zion City are required to offer up
prayer while on duty. Instead of the
customary roll call the night force as
sembles for prayers at O'Clock every
afternoon. Elder Dinnis led a recent
meeting, and one of the officers said
afterward:
"The lesson of watching and pray
ing was most impressive1y given. The
vast interests to be guarded and the
great personal responsibility of each
man for the work of the night was
presented with directness. Several
short petitions, full of thanksgiving
and imp1oring Gods help for faithful
service, followed by a glad, earnest
hymn, closed the devotions.
It is said that no policeman has yet
been found asleep while on duty.

MONDAY, MARCH 9
Is the Date of the Production of David
gHarum I'm KenOsha.

Harum I'm Kenosha.
David Harum" with its New York
production and an extremely strong
cast will be presented at the Rhode
opera house next Monday evening.
This simple announcement will awaken
anticipations of pleasure in the minds
of many for nearly everyone has,read
Westcott's book and found much en-
joyment in it. That they will want to
see David, Aunt Polly, Deacon Perk-
ms and the other characters who move
through the story on the stage seems
but natural. The New York run of
the play was record breaker in the
matter of receipts and it claimed at
tention there for sixteen weeks. For
six weeks it ran in Chicago and for
two months in Boston. The adaptation
of the book was made by Ripley and
Il. w. Hitchcock and they are said to
have taken very few liberties with, it,
adhefsag very closely to the story
woven so skillfully by Westcott. All
of the. scenes are laid in bonneville, N.
Y.,sasd the play is divided into three
acts. From appearances it is not un-
likely that the play will meet with
warm reception here and its presenta-
ton be largely attended.

HERE YOU ARE.
Amendme nts Proposed for the Game of |
Seven Up.

seven Up
Another Daniel come to Judgment"
Such is the opinion expressed by
card players of the author of the bill
in the Oklahoma Legislature 70 amend
the game ofsseven up. For decades the
peace Of many communities has been
threatened by disputes over the mo-
mentous problem whether the gift of
one point accords victory to the player
whoeonly needed that one town. And
here comes patriot with the solution.
There seems to be butsone criticism
of the Statesman's measut Sit fails to
provide suitable penalty for the player
who insists on pro6ting by the graft
in spite of the laws provision. Rep
resentative Wood of Pottawatomie
comfy, is the man who has jumped
into the breach to save his fellow men.
His bill proposes ''to amend section
of article of the game of seven up
and reads as follows:
"That hereafter, when in the course
OF said game one party begs, and the
giving of one would put the party so
begging out, the other party may give
him one, and the one so given shall
not operate to put the beggar out if
the giver himself goes out on the hand
on which one was given; but the one so
givSa shall havesthe effect to win the
game should the giver himself fail on
the said hand to go out.'

OPEN EASTERN BRANCH.
Badger Brass Company Plans to Supply
Eastern Trade From New York Store.

Badger Brass Company Plans to Supply
Eastern Trade From New York Store.
The Badger Brass Company of this
city, is planning for the largest years
business in the history of the company
and IN order to supply the trade the
company has esta blished an eastern
branch at II Warren street, New York.
This branch will be in charge of L. J.
Keck and will carry full stock of the
output of the factory, including solar
cycle and motor lamps, and all the
parts needed for the lamps. This new
office will be expected to take care of
all)of the trade of the company east of
Buffalo and Pittsburg, and it is the
plan of the company to save the Gus
toners large amounts in freight and
express charges.
The factory is now being run night
and day and the demand for the auto
mobile and cycle lamps is largely in
creased over the orders at the same
time last year. The company expects
to have more orders than it is possible
for them to ELL.

John |. Beggs Claims to Have Had a
a Chance to Purchase the Keno
sha Electric Railway.
SAID TO HAVE REFUSED OFFER
Mr.. Beggs Makes Plain Statement to the
Racine City Council That the Line
Was offered to Him.

If the statements of John I. Beggs,
president and general manager of the
Milwaukee Street Railway company,
are to be given credence the Kenosha
Electric Railway line, which has been
in operation month yesterday, is on
the market and has been offered for
sale TO the Milwaukee company of
which Mr.. Beggs is the president.
The company was recently asked to
give a statement of it's earnings to the
Racine city council and in doing this
Mr.. Beggs volunteered to give little
extra information in regard to the
Kenosha Electric line. In this extra
information he made the plain state.
ment that the line had been offered to
his company during the last few days.
The statement of Mr.. Beggs, which
was reported to the Racine council by
Mr.. Walker, a member of the conf
mittee ia charge of the matter, was as
follows:
"When asked about the conditions in
our neighboring city of Kenosha, Mr..
Beggs replied that some spectators
believe that the line through the city
of Kenosha will eventually he con-
Meeting link between their line and of
the proposed line from Chicago; that
they made concessions to the city Of
Kenosha in securing the franchise
that were not such as Legitimate
street car company would think for a
moment of accepting; that this fran
chise had been offered to them within
the past few days and they had in
formed the representative of the party
holding the franchise that they would
not accept it with those conditions as
free gift accompanied with fifty thou
sand (5O,OOO) dollars
The officials of the Kenosha Electric
Railway company have always held
that the line has never been offered for
sale either to Mr.. Beggs or to any
other company, but this plain state
ment of Mr.. Beggs to third party
not in interest cannot be taken as
false and it is more than probable that
there is some truth in the statement
even if the whole truth has not been
told in regard to the alleged Zeal.
1t is evident from the statement of
Mr.. Beggs that the negotiations are
not liable to be successfully completed
at any early date.
The connections that are now being
made between the two lines are as
near perfect as could be expected and
the sale of the line to other parties is
of little interest to the people of Ke-
nosha. Some of the people would
prefer to have the local line remain in
the keeping of Mr.. Arnold and his
associates.

Remains of Chauncey j. Webb, Who Ex-
pired In Chicago, Brought to KenOsha.
The remains OF Chauncey J. Webb,
a former resident of Kenosha, were
brought to this city Sunday and laid to
rest in the family plat at the city GENE
terry. The deceased was fifty-five
years of age and he had been a resi-
dent of Chicago for some time. His
death was most tragic On last Thurs
day morning he went to his work in
one of the State factories seemingly in
the best of health and continued to work
during the day. Late in the evening,
just before the shop was closed, Webb
fell forward with his tools in his
hands and his fellow workmen gather
ing round him found that life was al
ready extinct. Death was caused by
fatty degeneration of the heart.
Webb had many friends in Kenosha
and the funeral services at the GENE
terry Sunday afternoon we're largely
attended.

"David Harum' will be presented at
the Rhode opera house Monday, March
9th, with w. H. Turner as the shrewd,
sharp and witty old countryman made
famous by Edgar Noyes Westcott' S
widely read book. The presentation
of the play has been awaited with a
great deal of interest. The comedy
comes with the glitter and eclat of it's
New York and Boston runs. Upon it's
first production In New York it ran for
sixteen weeks, and its success there,
which it later repeated in Chicago and
Boston, was terrific. Those who wit
ness the play next Monday evening
will find in it three scenes that are
likely to be remembered for many
days. One of these is the horse trade
with the deacon, Perkins. The sec
ond is scene showing the deacon try
ing to drive the balky horse during a
heavy shower of rain The third is a
scene in the sitting room of Aunt
Po11y's home on Christmas morning
when David tells the story of his boy
hood visit to the circus and of the
whipping which followed. Mr.. Calm
has given the play thoroughly ade-
gate production and the company is de-
scribed as being one of much strength
and clevernesS

GRIP VERY CONTAGIOUS.

Dr.. Edison Gives Out Some Precautions.-
Germs are Breathed Into System.
DR.. Edison, of New York, in discuss
ing the present epidemic of grip in
that city, is quoted today as saying:
"Grip is contagious, and if the pub
lie were fully aware of that fact many
unnecessary infections would be avoid
ed. The grip germ, spiri1lum, or
bacillus, locates itself principally in
the mucous membranes of the respira-
tory tract, and it is an air borne dis
ease, one acquires it by breathing in
the germs. Ample evidence of its
contagiousness is found by it's passage
through family, city or section of
the country, travelling along the ordi-
nary lines of travel. It is this way
that it was brought to this country
some fifteen years ago, coming in
steamers from Europe.
IA great mistake is made by the
man who returns to his work too soon
after an attack of grip.
"To avoid catching the grip keep out
of the way of people who have it, keep
warm and keep your feet dry. If your
baby has the grip, don't kiss it. If your
stenographer has the grip, send her
home until she gets well. If your friend
has the grip, send him flowers and re-
grets, but don't call on him until he is
well. Don't get tired, and above all
keep warm and dry. When you do get
the grip, take dose of physic, go to
bed and send for DOCTOR"

THE SILVER DAGGER.
A Magnificent Scenic MeIodrama for Next
Sunday at the Rhode

A Magnificent Scenic Melodrama for Next
Sunday at the Rhode.
There is a wealth of material that
abounds in Mark E. Swans last and
reputed best play, which will be seen
at the Rhode opera house Sunday
evening, as vehicle for the display of
the company's talents and incidentally
those of Mark E. Swan. In "The
Silver Dagger" there is first heart
interest, which always counts with
high and low, gallery and parquet.
Having hit upon this essential, Mark
E. Swan has dressed his theme in
witty and brilliant dialogue, and that
counts. These pert and pithy speeches
are put into the mouths of characters
that are interesting in every instance
and repu1sive in none, and that counts.
In fact, to sum up the gist of public
and critical opinions expressed regard
ing this play, it is the ideal literary
and dramatic effort of the last decade.
Mark E. Swan is making a genuine
hit IN the leading role, the company is
said to be remarkably competent and
the production the same in detail as
that given during its New York en-
gagement last fall.

MRS, Mabel Grant Alleged to Have Robbed
the Saloon Keeper of $135.
Adolph Groeger went out On another
of his sporting pilgrimages on last Sat-
urday night, and if all the reports told
about the city this morning are true
Adolph started something moving and
kept it going. AS a result of the
merry time Mabel Grant widow, was
in the police Office this morning and
was accused of having carried away to
Chicago some $135 belonging to
Adolph. The woman admitted that
she was in a room at the Central Hotel
with Groeger on Saturday night and
that the latter gave her funds to the
extent of $135, but that he insisted
that she accept the money as present
and she had accepted it. Early Sum
day morning Mrs. Grant went to Chi
cago and while there she alleges that
she was robbed by friend of all the
money with the exception of $40 BILL
It seems that the wisest thing that
could be done would be to allow
Groeger toShave one grand round up
and get rid of all he had, or else ap-
point guardian to see that he gets a
run for his money.

WEIGHING THE MAILS.
Four Hundred Extra Men Engaged in the
Work In the Middle West.


At the stroke of midnight Tuesday
night the government began weighing
all mail matter handled for transpor-
tation Ia the states of Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri.
The weighing test will continue for
at least thirty working days, and at
the end of that period the results will
be used as basis for determining the
compensation of mail carrying rail
roads for four years from July 1. Four
hundred extra men are doing the
work.
Owing in part to the growing trade
with Pacific islands it is expected that
there will be an average increase of at
least Is per cent in the compensation
Of the larger roads. The cost of carry.
ing the mails at present is $4,000, 900

ity while the roots are so well fed
with the moisture coming out OF the
gradually thawing ground that the
danger from drought is almost entire
ly eliminated. Very similar conditions
seem to exist in Alaska, where the
ground is frozen to such a depth that
the thawing and moisture producing
process Is going on all thru the sum-
mer. The evidence is seen in the
wild grasses, which grow annually
to height of three or four feet and
sometimes even higher. AS for the soil,
it resembles that of hilly countries
in lower ATTITUDES. light and sandy on
the elevations, but heavier and richer
in the valleys. In natural state the
ground is covered in large part with
a thick matted growth of grass and
vines and moss so thick that 1t feels
to the tread as if one were walking
on sponge. This matted vegetable
growth is moist in summer from the
surface thawing of the frozen ground,
but when this thick covering is cut
lWay and the sun is given a chance
to reach the ground the soil is thawed
to q greater depth and the surface
dries out. The preparation of the
ground IN tbs first instance is, of
course, more difficult and expensive
than on cur rrairies, where there is
no such covering Of vegetation.
Alaska has not been surveyed, ana
cannot be successfully on the township
and section plan in vogue on our west
ern prairies. The government has es-
tablished 800 acres as the size of a
homestead claim, but in the course of
time it will be necessary to adopt the
system of land surveys to the topogra-
ply Of the country, surveying only the
valleys which may be found adapted
to agriculture with reference to the
water courses and the lay of the
land" and without regard to towns and
ranges or conformity to established
lines of latitude and longitude.
Professor George G.. Georgeson,
formerly special agent of the depart
ment of agriculture in Alaska, is re-
garded as something Of an enthusiast.
Perhaps he is. But he has studied the
agricultural possibilities of the coun-
try more than anybody else and is the
