OBITUARY.
afternoon,

Mrs. Parmelia Townsend Andruss
was born ia Benton, Yates county, N.
Y, Dec. 9Th, 1906. Died at her home
in Bristol, Wis, Jan. 9th, 1904, hav-
ing reached the extreme age of 81
years, month and 10 days. She was
married March 9th, 1884, to Rosson
Andruss in Jerusalem, Yates county,
N. Y. and in 1889 came with him to
Benton, Lake county, ILL.,, and in the
spring of 1910 moved to Bristol and
settled on the farm, where she resided
continually until her death. Her hus.
band died in 1873 and since that time
her son and daughter have lived with
her. She was the mother of six chill.
dren, four of whom are living-George
and Della, at the old home, Charles r.
in Sterling, Kan, and Marvin J., who
has recently located in Alberta.
Canada. There are also three brothers
two grand children, four great grand
children and one great great Crane
child. The immediate cause of her death
was malignant erysipelas and she was
sick only two days, having enjoyed
good health up to that time. DEATH
has removed the oldest resident ia the
county and taken one who knew the
hardships of pioneer life.

MADE GOO GOO EYES
Leader OF lions White ROBBED Choir is
Ordered to Leave the City for'
Innocent Filtration
ORGANISE IS ALSO UNDER BAN.

Director Rice, who has made the
white robed choir of Zion famous, and
Miss Mason, the organist, whom Dowie
sent to Europe to perfect herself in
music, have it is said, been ordered to
leave Zion arbitrarily by Overseer
John Speicher, who rules in Dowie's
absence. The people are indignant.
but it is said the order will be enforced.
Coming as it did, on top of two ex-
plusions of last week, when deacon
and man detected reading a news
paper were told to leave the sainted
city, the last order has caused much
bitter feeling against the acting over.
seer because of the prominence and
popularity of those expelled.
The only reason for the expulsion
is said to be that Rice made "goo goo"
eyes at the organist, Miss Mason, and
this too in spite of the fact that he is
married man with large family.
Consequently, the musical director
was ordered to leave as quickly as pos
sible, and the organist was also noti-
fed that her presence was no longer
desired in that town. Accordingly,
both musicians are now preparing to
move, despite the protests of their
many friends to Speicher.

Board OF Education Fails to Agree on
a Plan For Heating New Dur
kee School Building.
NEW SYSTEMS ARE PROPOSED
Hot Air System without Mechanical De-
Members of the Board of Education.

The Board Of Education met in spe-
cial session at the city hall Tuesday
night to discuss plans for the heating
of the new Durkee building. They
discussed it but the matter never went
past the discussion point and the Board
is as far away from an agreement now
as it was before.
The agents of the different com
panies bidding for the contract at
tended the session and assisted in the
discussion of the merits of the differ
ent systems of heating. The more the
members of the Board discussed the
more it became apparent to them that
a steam heating plant was better suited
for the new building. The matter of
expense was considered and the minor
ity in favor of the steam plant is
steadily growing. The cost of operat-
ing the hot air systems now in the
different schools in the city is being
urged as the greatest objection to the
installation of another similar plant.
Mr.. Bogart and the architect of the
building have held that this expense
can, in measure, be done away with
by the installation of gasoline en-
CINE in the new building to run the
fans but the Board failed to see that
this would reduce the expense sufi-
GENTLY. Again 1t is urged that some
of the rooms have not been warm
enough this year and it is feared that
it would be almost impossible to heat
a large building with the system.
AS compromise system some Of the
members of the board are urging that
all bids be refused and that an effort
be made to secure bids from company
which builds hot air system which
provides for the proper circulation of
the air without the mechanical devices
used with the Bogart system. Super

ITALIANS FEAR GHOSTS.
Refuse to Return to Work Where Compan-

Refuse to Return to Work Where Compan-
ion Was Killed without Foreman.
The mystery connected with the Ital-
ians leaving their work at the tannery
after the killing of Storino has been
solved as the men admitted last night
that they had not returned to work on
account of the fact that they feared
the appearance of the spirit of their
departed fellow countryman. The
men returned to the plant last night
but before they would go to work al
their usual tasks it was necessary to
bring foreman from another part OF
the plant and put him to work with
the men. It is probable that their
fear will be short lived and they will
undoubtedly be working as usual be.
fore the week is out. The coroner's
jury completed the inquest over Stor
inc last night and returned a verdict
of accidental death.

Henry Zweedick Long Missing From
Somers EnIists in Japanese Army
For the War With Russia
MANY AMERICANS AS VOLUNTEERS.
Zweedick Disappeared From Somers Four
Years Ago and Nothing Had Been
Heard of Him Since Then.

When the battalions of General va
maguchi go out to meet the minions of
the Russian Bear, Kenosha county will
be represented on the field of battle,
for letter has been received in the
town of Somers stating that Henry
Zweedick man who disappeared from
the village more than four years ago
had enlisted in the army of the Mikado
and was now one of the members OF
the battalions which had been ordered
to the front to meet the Russian army.
The letter was written by Zweedick
| when he was in Toxic and at that time
he had been regularly enlisted. In his
letter Zweedick states that there are
many people from this country enlist
| ing to fight the battles of the Mikado.
These American soldiers are the best
recruits in the army and they are rap
idly introducing American war meth
DDS into the Japanese army. In some
cases the Americans have been advanc-
ed to the rank of officers in the army
and before the war is over it would not
be strange thing if some Americ an
would be selected to lead the forces of
the Japanese. Zweedick states that
the Japanese soldiers are anxious for
war. They seem to be very enthusiast
tic and there is no doubt but that they
will put up an awful fight against the
Russians. zweedick comments on the
Japanese army and states that while it
is largely composed of fighters the men
are hardly up to the standard of the
soldiers OF the American army. At the
time the letter was written Zweedick
and his companions were ready to
move at moments notice.
zweedick has had picturesque car
eer as soldier of fortune. He came
to Kenosha some eight years ago after
serving in one of the skirmishes SC
commonly known among the smaller
nations Of South America. He began
to work for a farmer in the town OF
Somers and while there mastered the
| English language. He saved quite a
sum of money and one night in 1900
he left the farm and gave nosnotice OF
where he was going. Later he went
to FIT. Sheridan where he enlisted in a
company going to the Philippines. He
saw years service in the Philippines
and was discharged on account of some
disability. He went from Manila to
China and after spending several
months there, went to Toxic where he
worked as common laborer until the
coming of the war spirit forced him to
enter the army. In his letter he claims
that he has been member of the arm.
les of seven different nations. He has
fought under the flags of Cuba, United
States, San Domingo, Sweden, Ger.
many, China and Japan.
Zweedick left one brother, John
Zweedick in this county and since he
went away the latter was convicted OF
crime and sent to the State Reforma.
tory at Green Bay. Since, he has es.
capped and is now fugitive.

EGGS ARE SCARCE FOR LENT
The Price is Three Cents apiece Now an
Likely to Go Higher.

The Price is Three Cents apiece Now and
Likely to Go Higher.
With the Lenten season of sackcloth
and ashes less than three weeks
off and the price Of eggs ruling at SO
cents dozen-this being among the
chief articles of food during that sea-
son-the outlook is not a promising
one.
It is claimed by commission houses
that the country here is bare of eggs,
as the southern stock is monopolized
by the east, and the western states
must consequently depend on the linn
tied products of their own, which is SC
limited that if the price for eggs were
based on the present scarcity, they
would be selling at double what is be.
ing asked for them by jobbers. In
Milwaukee the ruling price is 40 cents
a dozen.
The supply of storage eggs is entire
ly cleaned up, according to a promi
nent dealer, who says they were prac
tically out of the way by New Years
Consumers have no occasion to find
fault with the quality OF the stock, as
it has all been fresh. During Decem
Der, which is always the most trying
month in obtaining supplies of good
fresh stock, the production of eggs
was light. It is usually during this
month that the farmers market the
eggs they have been holding for high
er prices. They mix them in with
fresh eggs and palm them off as No.
stock. Those who have held onto
their eggs until the present time will
realize good profit.
