ORDINANCE TO BE ENFORCED
Peddlers Must Display License Numbers
Transfers Must Stop Scattering Refuse,

Peddlers Must Display License Numbers
Transfers Must Stop Scattering Refuse
The Chief of Police has warned the
pedd1ers and junk men now doing
business in the city that the ordinances
must be more strictly observed by them
in the future and that all of them will
be required to take out licenses and to
display their license numbers in con-
spicuous place on their vehicles as the
law directs. So far but three peddlers'
licenses have been taken out, but there
is well grounded suspicion that sew
eral people are doing business in the
city as peddlers who have not as yet
complied with the ordinance requiring
them to take out licenses, and these
men will be forced to contribute their
share to the Golfers of the city without
delay. The teamsters hauling refuse
through the streets of the city will also
be given little attention, and the or
dinance which provides penalty for
dropping refuse on the streets will be
more strictly enforced in future. It is
impossible for the Street Commission
ers to keep the streets clean if every
wagon hauling waste through the city
is allowed to scatter it along the way,
and the police have been instructed to
assist the Commissioners by arresting
those teamsters guilty of scattering
refuse from their wagons.

The Figure of Today.

Tall, slender women have it all their
own way. The perfect figure has been
discussed of late, and the fiat seems to
be that slenderness combined with
good lines is essential. But it is no
good being thin unless you are willowy
and graceful. The taller, the more
slender, the better; the shoulders
broad, the arms long, the waist line at
the front long, the hips we'll shaped,
neither fiat nor hollow. The line must
be straight from under the arms to the
ankle. There must be slight outward
curve at the back Of the waist 1t is
the greatest mistake to pad over the
hips. One of the articles of a fashion
able corsetiere is to lace the hips into a
fiat line. Stays grow longer and conse-
quently far less comfortable, but while
they lengthen below the waist they be-
come shorter above.

Entire Family of Chris. Nielsen, of
Pleasant Prairie, Overcome by
Coal Gas Wednesday Night.
CcaDITION OF THREE SERIOUS
Mother and Three of the Children Found
ing From Extreme Nausea.

The home of Chris. Nielsen in the
town of Pleasant Prairie, four miles
west of the city, was the scene of a Sc.
rious accident Wednesday night and
this morning when seven people, mem
bers of the family, narrowly escaped
death from asphyxiation by coal gas.
The gas came from a break in a base
burner stove and when the people were
discovered in the morning the mother
and three of the children were uncon-
scious, while the father and the other
children were sleeping heavily through
the effects of the gas.
The family retired at the usual hour
Wednesday night, and as the house
they live in is small one the gas from
the stove soon permeated every por-
ton of the building and the inmates
were affected. Mrs. Nielsen and three
of the children were sleeping in the
same room with the stove apd when
the neighbors went to the house the
four were found to be in an uncon-
scious condition. They regained con-
sciousness after the windows had been
opened. but all of them suffered from
extreme nausea and it is feared that
the accident will result in their being
sick for some time. Doctors were at
once summoned to the house and the
patients were given every care possible
to relieve their suffering. Mr.. Nielsen
and two of the children who were
sleeping in an adjoining room were
also under the influence of the fumes
of the gas, but they were not seriously
affected and as soon as they were taken
out into the air they recovered and
showed no signs of the sickness which
had affected the members of the family
who had been sleeping in the same
room with the stove which was throw
ing out the gases.
The discovery of the afflicted family
was the result of the merest accident.
One of the neighbors had started to
come to kenosha with load of wood
and as he was passing the Nielsen
home portion of the harness broke
and he stopped to borrow some tools to
repair it. He went to the door and
after knocking for several minutes he
managed to arouse Mr.. Nielsen, who
discovered the condition of the mem.
bers of the family.
Had the family been left sleeping in
gas-hlled rooms for another half hour
it is probable that all of them would
have succumbed to the fumes of the
gas.

GRANT AN INJUNCTION.
Administrators Ordered Not to Turn Over
Property to DOwie Head

Administrator Ordered Not to Turn Over
Property to Dowie Head.
An injunction was granted Tuesday
by Judge Dunno in Chicago enjoining
Neil J. Shannon, as administrator to
collect, from turning over to John G.
Speicher, next in authority to John
Alexander Dowie, any of the money
or property from the estate of Fred.
erick Sutton.
Sutton was wealthy sheep raiser
from New Zealand. He died at Dow.
les 'Hospice," 1854 Michigan avenue.
At the time of his death Sutton is said
to have had in his possession personal
securities to the amount of $4,000.
Shortly before his death Sutton made
a will, it is alleged, in which Speicher
was named as executor.
Speicher was appointed executor
when the will was probated, and Shan.
non was appointed administrator to
collect. All the money is said to have
been collected by the administrator,
with the exception of $13,5OO, which it
is said is still in the possession OF
Dowie, who contends that the money
belongs to him, having been paid for
stock in the Zion City bank and the
Zion Land & Investment company.

Civil War. Dies of Grippe,
James Gardiner, aged sixty-nine
years, resident of the town of Som
ers and well known survivor of the
War of the Rebellion, died at his home
Thursday morning after short illness
from grippe. The deceased had been
a resident of Kenosha for more than
forty five years.
At the time of the breaking out of
the Civil war he enlisted at Kenosha
as a member of:Company I, of the 33rd
Infantry. He saw three years of serv-
ice on the field. Gardiner was a great
favorite among the members of his
company and the companies that were
with Company during the war, and
his death will cause sorrow in the
ranks of the old soldiers. For many
years Mr.. Gardiner was a member of
Fred S. Lowell Post of the Grand
Army.
He is survived by three sons, all of
whom are grown.

KenOsha Friends of the Motor Car
rage Will Lobby Against the Pro-
posed Bill to License Autos.
JEFFERY COMPANY AFFECTED.
Passage of the Bill Would Undoubtedly
cOnsin.-Slade Asked to Oppose it.

Kenosna automobile owners will
have the opportunity of being heard
before the judiciary committee this
week relative to the Moldenhauer bill
The committee on State affairs, when
the bill was before that committee,
liked day for hearing opposition, but
the interested people evidently forgot
all about it, at least no one appeared
to protest and the bill was reported
for passage by unanimous vote, as re-
lated last week. The sentiment of the
committee is very strongly in favor Of
the passage of the bill; in fact, the in
terest taken by members is evidenced
by the fact that Chairman Cady of the
judiciary committee stoppedits passage
to engrossment in order that the pur-
poses for which it was presented might
be more certain to be enacted into a
law. Had the bill passed as recon-
mended it would have given the au-
tomobiles practically the right of way
over everything else, Mr.. Cady
thought, because it took from the
towns, cities and villages the right to
make regulations. This would have
left the chaufeurs free to run and do
as they pleased on paying the license
and registering their numbers, pro-
vided however, they stopped on signal
when approaching FESTIVE horses. The
bill is designed particularly to prevent
reckless driving in the country.
It appears that there have been a
number of serious mishaps caused by
frightened horses because of the rapid
approach and the swift passing of the
unsight1y monsters, as the farmers
dub the automobiles. According to
the statement made to members it
would appear that there are some
chaufeurs who have taken delight in
speeding through the ruru1 districts at
full speed, causing great terror to
drivers of vehicles. It is a difficult
thing even for man to handle rest
i've horse, say the farmer members, in
the face of the approach of "one of
those ungodly things and absolutely
impossible for the women to do so.
Inc OBJECT or having the numb erS
painted on the automobiles, and they
must be painted in large figures on
the rear, is so that the farmers and
others may be able to see them and
then make their complaint according.
It will be easy to identify the owners
because of the numbers being regis
tered.
The Rambler Automobile company
is the largest maker of motor car
riages in the State and for this reason
Manager Bennett, of the sales depart
ment of the Kenosha plant, has taken
up the fight against the bill. He has
sent strong protest to Assemblyman
S1ade and Senator Johnson and it is
probable that some member of the
Jeffrey firm will personally go to Madi-
son to protest against the passage of the
bill. Should such license bill be en-
acted it would largely reduce the sales
of automobiles in Wisconsin. The
final vote on the bill will be taken next
week.

Wrecks Have Been Reduced One-Third by
Looking After Timepieces.
Time is Money according to the old
adage, but the railroad men have
brought the maxim down to date, so
that it now reads Time is Life and
Money.
An official watch inspector of the
Chicago and Northwestern railway,
who was in the city last night, when
asked what results had been obtained
by the order issued some time ago by
the Northwestern line compelling all
of the trainmen to carry watches of a
specified standard, said:
''From the reports which have been
kept we find that railroad wrecks have
been decreased one.third since 1898,
when the company decided that all of
the men engaged in active road service
should be provided with accurate time
pieces.
"In other words 80 per cent of the
wrecks previous to that time were
caused by variationsin the time of the
watches carried by different men in the
service. Under the system now in force
on practically every road in the United
States, the enginemen, the train crew,
including the brakemen and baggage.
men and the switchmen, as we'll as the
train masters and dispatchers must all
be provided with watches which will
agree within thirty seconds.
every week the employees of the
classes I have mentioned must go to
watch inspector and see that their
timpiece is in good condition. The
penalty for violation is lay off of
from ten to thirty days or one or more
dement's, according to the reason given
for the failure to obey the order. In
some instances, when a man has been
grossly negligent, he may be dis
charged.
''When the system of watch inspec-
tion was first put into operation, the
older men declared that it was an i'm
position. Now, however, they all take
it as part of the routine"
