PASS HEATED WORDS
Final Session of the Board OF Review
is Marked by Sharp Contest by
County and City Officials.

What was supposed to have been
view for the year was held at the City
Hall Thursday afternoon, but during
the afternoon such a heated contest
arose that the board was forced to adj
journ until next Wednesday in order
to complete the work. The trouble
all came up on account of a contest
over the value to be set upon the
property sof 1.-THE estate of the late
Michael German, and that of the
Thomas B. Jeffrey company. The
Jeffrey company had been assessed
on it's real estate at 100000 and the
supervisor of assessments had made
an effort to have the sum of 500, 900
added to the last years assessment of
the company. Mr.. Jeffery appeared
before the board in person, and by his
attorney Peter Fisher, and sharp
tilt occurred ibetween them and Mr.
Harrison. Mr.. Jeffrey insisted that
the assessment of the Jeffery real
estate should be reduced to 81, 900
and after a heated argument with
Mr.. Harrison he offered to sell him
the real estate of the company for
S51, 900 and offered to hold the offer
open for twelve months. Mr.. Harri-
son and the mayor came into wordy
war over the matter and they FLASHED
later, on the amount of the valuation
Of the estate of Michael German. The
property of the estate had been valued
at $500 by the assessor and the super
visor had insisted that it be raised to
$4,000.
Both of these matters will be taken
up at the next meeting of the board
and it is probable that a settlement
will be reached at that time.

Dowie has added another industry
at Zion City, and small factory has
been opened just north of the lace
works for the manufacture of collins
and furniture. Dowie claims that the
collins made in the sacred city will be
better caskets than those made by the
unwashed and it is claimed that they
will be furnished at more reason
able figure. The furniture made in
the little factory is attracting atten-

EICKEn BY A HORSE.

Oscar Busswe1l, the eleven year old
son Of o. f. Busswell, of the town Of
Somers, was quite seriously injured
on Wednesday morning by being
kicked by horse. The boy had been
sent to the home of neighbor to de-
liver some milk and while waiting for
the milk he got too close to the heels
of the horse.
While he was seriously injured, it is
not thought that his injuries are of a
dangerous nature.

MAY BUILD A SPUR,

1t is beginning to look as if the
Anderson Park, recently opened on
the south limits of the city, would be-
come a great resort and the crowds
going to the park have attracted the
attention of the managers Of the
street railway company. The man
ayers have been looking the ground
over and are considering the building
of spur track to the park. It is
hardly probable, however, that the
track will be built before next year.

Into Vat at the Tannery.
Steven Locking, an Italian EN-
p1oyed at the N. r. Aliens Sons
tannery, was badly injured late Thurs
day afternoon by falling into vat at
the plant. Locking was taken to the
Kenosha hospital and an investiga-
ton showed that the mans knee cap
had been shattered and it is feared
that he will never have the complete
use of his leg again.
At the time of the accident Locking
was walking along a beam which
served for path among the watts and
he slipped and fell. Fortunately the
vat was empty. DR.. George Pugh is
attending the man.

s.FATHER. GO WITH ME-"

Sent up to bed in the dark alone,
Where all Of the corners were weird
and dim
And the shapes and the shadows
awaited him
At every turnng-my little son.,
Sent for some childish mischief done
At the hour when childish hearts are
high
With joy Of the evenings revelry-
And his fault at worst was a tiny one!
A wistful moment his feet delayed,
Waiting to let my face relent,
And then, a pitiful penitent,
His faltering, frightened way he made;
But up in che stairway's deepest shade,
/ heard him pause where their shad-
ows crowd
And whisper, Father" and sob aloud,
''FatheE go with me- I'm afraid
Quick as his calling my answer leapt,
Strong as his terror my shielding arms
Folded him close from the nights
alarms,
Sheltered and comforted while he wept;
Up in the nursery's light I kept
A tender watch till he smiled again,
Till the sobs Of his half remembered
pain
Lessened and hushed, and the baby slept.
Father of love, when my day is done
And all of my trespasses written In,
Not for a thoughtless Or willful sin
Send me out in the dark alone;
But so as I answered my little son,
Come to the prayer Of my pleading
breath
And lead me safe through the night Of
death,
Father Of light, when my light is gone!

Yes, If You Do 1t Daily.

[ ran hard to overtake street car
recently and asked a physician upon
the car whether it was q safe thing
to do. YES" he replied, ST you do it
every day." Here is point in regard
to vigorous exercise. If we practice
running daily we strengthen the heart
and lungs and no injury is done, pro-
vldlng we start moderately. But if we
make a desperate run only once Il
month we are liable to overtax the
heart, and II the heart is not in
healthy condition are liable to lose or
lives. 1t is possible for a human being
to endure great strain great cold, great
heat, or great misfortunes of every
kind providing he accustoms himself to
such changes gradually. The firemen
in the holds Of ocean steamers endure
for hours at a time heat in which
those unaccusto1hed would perish in
short time. The Esquimaux Of the
north can lead a comfortable life for
long periods where an ordinary man
unaccustomed to the cold would soon
perish. The lesson is then that what
ever changes we make we should
make moderately, thus accustomng
ourselves to the change 1t is advised
that consumptives and others should
Sleep outdoors, or in rooms with the
window we'll raised even on cold
nights, but remember that this change
must not be made suddenly from hot
room to excessive cold

of home seekers.
The average cost Of the irrigation
schemes is about 100000. The two
that are considered the most impor-
tant, one on Salt River, in Arizona,
and another at Truckegee, Nev., will
each cost $3,0OO,OOO.
The list Of approved projects to date
is as follows: Arizona, Salt River,
S3,OOO,OOO; California. Yuma, $1,000
600: Colorado. Gunnison, S2,5OO,OOO;
Idaho Minidoka. $2.6OO,0OO; Montana,

It requires very little capital to ac-
quire ownership in one of these irrigat-
ed farms. The land is open to entry
under the homestead laws Practically
no charge is made, the homesteader
being required to pay to the govern
ment in ten annual 1nstaiIments the
actual pro rata cost Of irrigation. He
must reside upon and improve hts prop
erty for five years before getting IT,
tie, after which he may dispose of it
as be sees fit. On the basis Of the
present compilation the cost will be
about $27 an acre.

fear that the irrigated land will not be
taken up by homesteders. They fully
expect to sell all the land. No effort
will be made to realize q profit, the
idea being to recover the actual cost of
building and operating the irrigation
bitches. The proceeds from the sale
OF these lands will be turned into the.
reclamation fund, to be used for sim
liar work in new regions. The S2T,OOO,-
600 to complete the IA projects thus far
approved was realized through the sale
Of public lands in arid States and Ter
ritories since the adoption Of the irri-
cation act in June, 1901. The actual
proceeds have been about $2O,OOO,OOO,
but Secretary Hitchcock thinks he Is
safe in mortgag ing future receipts to
the extent of 100000.

Substitute for Pumice.

Artificial pumice Is made in o1anti
ties In Bietigheim in the valley of the
En- in Germany, which is said to be
a valuable substitute for the genuine
stone, according to the New York Post.
1t is made from ground sandstone and
clay, and there are ten kinds. differ
Ing from each other in regard to hard
ness and grain as follows: % a hard
and soft kind with coarse grain.
particularly useful In the leather. wax
cloth, felt and wood industries: GU
hard and a soft kind with medium
coarse grain, suited tc stucco workers
and sculptors and particularly useful
for polishing wood before it is painted:
3) a soft, fine grained stone for the
white and dry polish of wood and for
tin goods; "a one of medium hardness
with fine grain, for giving the wood
surface for an oil POLISH, (5) a hard,
fne-grained one for working metals
and stones, especially photographic
stones; and finally pumice stones with
a very fine grain.
These artificial stones are used in
pretty much the same way as those
of volcanic origin. For giving a smooth
surface to wood, dry stone is ap-
piled, but to give it fine polish the
stone is dipped in oil. For the fine work
no coarse-grained and for coarse work
no fne-grained stones are used. The
unrelia bility of pumice, both in grain
and hardness, variations being noted
even in the same piece, suggested the
idea Of replacing it with the artificial
product

Short Suggestions.


When buying new lamp glasses, if
put in water and allowed to boil first
they will last longer.
When roasting or baking meat in the
oven place the dripp1ng-pan on a dish
Of water. It will prevent the gravy
burning or boiling away.
To keep fatirons clean and smooth,
rub them first with a piece Of wax
tied in q cloth, and afterward scour
them ON paper or cloth strewn with
coarse salt.
Potato Feelings, if dried in the oven.
are very useful for fire kindling. If
sufficiently abundant they may be US
ed instead of wood but in any case
they will economic it.
The toughest beef or chicken can be
made tender and palatable by putting
a good spoonful Of cider vinegar In
the pot in which it is boiling or in
the juice with which it is basted If
roasting in a pan.
Wood alcohol rubbed on a polished
table stained or marred by a hot dish
will restore the finish if followed by
a polishing with linseed oil. The odor
Of wood alcohol is not pleasing but it
is cheaper than the medicinal alcohol.
