TERRIBLY BURNED
Helen Ford o! the Town OF Somers
Burned by Explosion of Kerosene
Lamp tuesday Evening. tsr
MAY NOT SURVIVE. HER INJURIES.


Miss Helen Ford, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Ford who reside
in the town of Somers near the vii
a1age of Berryvi11e, was the victim of a
sad accident Tuesday night and if
she survives her injuries she will be
marked for life. The injuries result
ed from the explosion of kerosene
lamp and the young lady was terribly
burned about the hands and face.
Miss Ford had planned to entertain
number her friends during the
evening in honor of her eighteenth
birthday and she was arranging the
par1or for the reception of the young
people when the accident occurred.
A large lamp had been placed on the
table in the par1or and when Miss
Ford attempted to light it the exp1os-
ion followed.
The flames were communicated to
several infammab bic decorations which
were on the table, and they burst up
into the face of the young woman.
She shouted for help, but before her
mother could come to her assistance
the flames had been communicated to
her clothing. Mrs. Ford rushed into
the room and with great presence of
mind she seized rug from the floor
and threw it about the daughter. In
this manner the flames were extin-
guished. Doctors were hurried1y sum
moned to the house and the young
lady was made as comfortable as pos
sib1e. The invitations for the party
were at once recalled, and the few
guests who came to the house assisted
in caring for the injured girl. The
father of the young lady was in Ke-
nosha today and stated that she was
resting as easy as could be expected
and that high hopes for her recovery
were entertained.

THE following communication of l..
x. Luse, candidate for the Supreme
Court, will be of general interest; it
is from Senator John M. Whitehead:
81 have observed with pleasure the
favor with which the candidacy of
Hon. L. K. Luse for Justice of the
Supreme Court has been received by
the people generally. I have known
Mr.. Lnse for a number of years. /
have always placed him in the first
rank among lawyers. At the first
mention of his name for this judicial
position, felt that he was as good a
man as could be selected. His capac-
ity for work. his temperament and
his personal character commend him
to the state, and words are not needed
fc1 members d. the bar to. fortify his
candidacy. 4 confidently expect that
the people will avail themselves of the
opportunity to place him upon the
Supreme Bench of the state"
Such a recommendation shows that
the voters of sKenosha cannot go
wrong if they support Mr. Luse.

FARMERS STICK TOGETHER.
To Present United Front In Their Fight
Against the Milk shippers' Agency.


The farmers of Kenosha County
who are interested in the dairy busi-
ness have decided to stick together in
their fight against the Milk Shippers
Agency and they are now prepar-
ing for a long fight in the courts
against the Chicago company with
which they have been dealing for the
past few months. The farmers claim
that they have a right to break the
contracts which they have signed
with the agency on. account of the
fact that the agency failed to secure
|seventy-five per cent of the shippers
to sign contracts. At the meeting of
the Kenosha County Shippers yester-
day it was announced that thirty of
the farmers have refused to pay the
assessment to the agency and they de-
.cided that should suit be brought they
would combine and raise a fund to
fight the collection of the money
alleged to be due the Chicago COM
pany.
It is understood that the agency has
placed the accounts Of a large num-
Der of we'll known Kenosha farmers
in the hands of Peter Fisher for col
lection. Patrick Tobin, of Pleasant
Prairie, who was elected to represent
the Kenosha County Union in the
session of the Central Milk Shippers
Union, which will meet in Chicago in
March, was ordered to carry the fight
against the agency into the Central
Union.
George Kirk was reelected presi-
dent Of the Kenosha County branch
of the Union.

st. Petersburg, Feb. IA dis
patch received here from Port Arthur,
dated Feb. Is, denies that the Jap
anese are landing at Chin Wang Tao,
a port on the southern border of Man
churia, close to the Chinese northern
railroad. The sea there is covered
with ice for a distance of fourteen
miles from the shore, and this would
make landing extremely difficult No
Japanese have been seen on the Yalu
river. The Japanese are landing pro-
visions and munitions of war at Won

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE japanese
minister has received dispatch from
Toxic stating that trustworthy in
formation has reached the Japanese
government to the effect that as a re-
suit of the japanese attack On the Rus
sian squadron off Port Arthur, on mid
night of Feb 8, the Russian battle
ship RetVlzan is still aground outside
the port, the Czareyitch has been
towed into the port, and the Pallada
is still aground at the entrance Of the
port. All three, the dispatch says,
are hors du combat. The dispatch
says that as a result Of the lombard
ment on the morning of the 9th the
Noyik was seriously damaged, but the
Askold, Diana and Poltava were only
slightly damaged.

THE plan Of the sewer. committee
of the council which has had charge
of the work of arranging for "a new
sewer system to extend the new sys-
tenn far beyond the present limits of
the city is wise one. If the city
keeps on growing and spreading out
as it has insthe past few years it will
not be a great while before the. addi-
tional territory is taken into the city,
sewer system and la11. When the
present system was built it was ample
for the needs of the city as it was
then but not enough provision was
made for the future growth of the
city, and consequently the growth of
the city has been checked by the lack
of sewer facilities. The committee
evidently intends that the city shall
not be caught in the fix it is now in
again and has drawn UP the. plans SO
that extensions and additions can be
made without great expense to the
city, even if the growth should extend
way beyond the limits of the new sys-
TEN as planned.

The records being made by the COM

THE severe weather this winter has
dealt the fishing business on the lakes
a blow from which it will be long
time recovering and in many cases
the poorer fishermen have lost their
all, the ice carrying away their entire
equipment. Fate always seems to
deal the hardest with those who are
least able to stand it and many of the
men are entirely ruined. The big
commission houses which handle the
fish will set some of them up in bust
ness again and in time they will re-
cover their losses but the present
winter will long be remembered on
the lakes.

IN the death of Marcus Alonzo
Hanna the nation has lost its most
distinguished citizen. A plain, blunt
man without the gift of oratory or
any of the airs and graces generally
regarded as necessary to political
success in this country he rose to a
position of power second only to that
of the president by sheer force Of
character. The winning personality
of the man and that unaffected love
for his fellow men which was his most
distinguishing characteristic made
him hosts of friends wherever he
went. He numbered his warm per-
sona1 friends by thousands in all
walks and conditions Of life and, at
the time of his death, with the posi-
BILE exception of the late President
Mckinley, he was the. most beloved
of all the men who have been promi-
nent IN the affairs of the nation in his
day and generation. Cartooned and
1ampooned as the incarnation of the
brutal power of money in the Begin
ming of his public career he lived long
enough to conquer the prejudice
against him by his answering loyal
ty to his principles and his friends,
and to win the respect and esteem Of
political friends and foes alike by his
high ideal Of patriotism and sound
common sense. A. patriot before he
was partisan, the friend Of labor
and of capital alike, this staunch
American will be sore1y missed in the
councils of the nation and it will be
long before we see his like again.
