WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Or. Hartman. low
TO Combat the Nervous Depression

NervOuencgs ia very common among

This condition Is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every SUM

a direct result Of weak ncrvouH Systems.
This could easily be overcome 10y the

EMBALMED IN GLASS.

Ancient Egyptians Method of Pre-
serving the Dead Outdone.
1.-THE strangest, weirdest method of
embalming ever thought Of has just
been patented by a Russian residing
in New York state" says Popular Me-
chanics. 1.-THE corpse is to be incased
In the center of a solid block Of pure
glass, through which the features and
outlines Of the body will be perfectly
visible. AS no air can ever possibly
enter, the remains are expected to be
preserved for centuries. The inventor
hopes that some day vast mausoleum
Of noted and gifted men will be erect
ed, in which 1t will be deemed the high
est honor to be thus preserved for flu
ture generations
'The mechanical process which is to
make all this possible, and on which
the United States government has
granted a patent, is quite simple. The
remains are first surrounded with a
coating Of sodium silicate, or water
glass, which is allowed to dry. When
the water has been sufficiently evap-
GRATED, the subject is placed in mold
which Is to determine the size Of the
glass block and molten glass poured
until the mold or flask is filed

A NaxU Mile Dam

So successful has been the workings
of the great Assouan dam of the Nile,
which irrigates 100000 acres Of land,
that plans are now being laid to build
another on the site Of the Wady Ray
an, a deep and broad ravine in the
great oasis Of Fayum. If a dam be
built there 100000 additional acres
Of land will be opened to regular cul-
tivation, which would supply all the
needs within the bounds Of Egypt
proper. To carry out this plan ii
would be necessary to raise the As
souan dam twenty feet, and the total
cost would be about $12,500,O0O 1t is
calculated that such a dam would add
$500, 100000 to the assets Of Egypt,
raising the annual cotton crop to 1O0,-
100000 pounds.

Officials OF the Kenosha POstoffiCe II
Have a Decided Increase on the
First OF July.
THE PERCENTAGE NOT so LARGE
Department Takes Steps to Cut Down Ex-
Large an Increae as in Other Years.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
postofice department has cut down
the increases for postof6ce clerks in
so-ca11ed presidential offices, the
clerks in the Kenosha Office will re-
ceive material increase in salaries
on or about the first of next July. In
former years the increase has been
based on the net increaee of the bust
ness of the local office. It has been as
high as seventy per cent of this in
crease, but the per cent for this year
will not be nearly so large as dis
patch from Washington states that
the per cent of increase is to be placed
at thirty per cent of the increase in
the business of the office, while the
other seventy per cent will be utilized
in the paying Of the general expenses
of the department.,
Postmaster Frantz has not as yet
completed his report Of the increase
of the local Office during the year just
closed, but he stated this morning
that the net increase in the business
over last year would be in the neigh
borhood of So, 500, and on this amount
the clerks in the office will receive an
increase in salaries to the amount of
$3.50. This will be apportioned among
the clerks according to their rank
and each one of them will receive
slight increase. The method of fix
ing the pay of the clerks in the office
is deci ded1ya favorable one for the
clerks as the pay of the positions de-
ponds entirely on the success of the
Office and it is therefore to the interest
of the clerks to work for the success
of the Office.
These increases in salary will bring
the clerks up to the position of being
among the best paid men holding
clerical positions in the city. All of
them will receive more than 5000
year.

TO BREAK CONTRACT
PIeasan: Prairie Telephone Company
Must Get Rid OF Its Contract
With the Wisconsin.
BIG TELEPHONE WAR TO START.
Citizens Company Buys Rural Line. But
Pleasant Prairie Company Must
Deliver Free Company.

The war which has been waged with
not little vigor between the Citi-
zens' telephone company andthe Wis
consin system for the control Of the
rural business of Kenosha ,scounty is
now on in earnest, and it is probable
that It will become a legal fight be-
tween the two companies. At the
meeting of the directors of the Pleas
ant Prairie company yesterday it was
decided to accept the proposition of
the Citizens company for a sale of the
rural company, and the papers in the
case have been placed IN escrow,
pending the fu1fi11ment of the terms
OF the deal by the Pleasant Prairie
company. The Independent company
has demanded that before the trans
fer is finally made the Pleasant Prai-
RE company must vacate it's contract
with the Wisconsin company. This
contract, made in good faith less than
a year ago, provides that the Wiscon-
sin company shall have the use of the
lines of the Pleasant Prairie COM
pany and the connecting lines for
period of five years. Members of the
Citizens company declare that the
Wisconsin company has inva1idated
this contract by entering the territory
Of the Pleasant Prairie company and
building lines in territory which is
held by the Pleasant Prairie COM
pany. On the other hand, the officials
of the Wisconsin company claim that
they have not overstepped the bounds
laid down in ethe contract, and that
they are prepared to fight in court for
the carrying out of the:contract to the
very letter. If the deal should go
through the companies will be forced
to fight this point in the courts. In
the meantime the Wisconsin company,
it is claimed, is handling more than
two-thirds of the rural calls about the
county, and as this business is get
ting to be large the company will fight
to retain it.
With the aid of the Chicago te1e-
phone company the Bell companies
have been getting franchises for lines
IN different parts of the county, so
that there is little doubt but that if
the Citizens company gets control
the Bell people will, in month after
the lines are turned over, have lines
paral1e1ing in all parts of the county.
OF course, it would be cheaper and
more convenient for the Wisconsin
company to handle this business
through the Pleasant Prairie ex-
change, and for this reason the con-
test with the rural management of
the Pleasant Prairie line is being in
augurated.

giving in addition $40 ard Frederiks-
berg $3.50. It was decided to offer a
reward of 3 cents for every rat killed
in these two cities, the dead bodies to
be delivered at the fire engine stations.
These were to be inspected and paid
for daily by an officer, after which the
dead rats were to be disinfected and
buried. The campaign lasted from
Aug. 3 to Dec. 9. It cost about $3,7OO
and brought about the destruction of
103, 1856 rats.
Attempts at destruction have also
been organized in other parts OF Den
mark, and it has been found every
where that the bounty system is the
best.
The simple wire rat trap shown in
the illustration has proved to be one
Of the best devices for capturing the

SEEK ANNA HANSEN.
Young Girl Disappears Under Peculiar
Circumstances From the Home of
Her Friends at Powers Lake.
MAY HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE.

A. M. Hansen, residing at Powers
Lake in this county, was in Kenosha
today making an effort to find some
trace of Miss Anna Hansen, a niece
of his, who has been missing
from the Hansen home at Powers
Lake for the past four days. At the
time she left her home in the country
she stated that she was coming to
Kenosha to accept a position as a
domestic with a Danish family re-
siding on Garden street. She never
arrived at the Garden street home,
and her present whereabouts are
shrouded in mystery.
Miss Hansen came to this county
from Denmark less than year ago,
but she had learned to speak the Eng
1ish language. During the past few
weeks she had been desperately in
love with young man who resided in
the neighborhood of Antioch, Ill. He
had been in the habit of coming to
see the girl twice week, but recently
he gave up his visits, and since that
time the girl has been very despond-
ent. She has not sought the COM
partnership of her former friends, and
seemed to care little for the work
about her home. She left her home
last Tuesday to come to Kenosha in
search of work, and had secured
position in one of the homes of the
city.
Her friends seem to be of the opinion
that she has gone to Chicago or some
other city, and that it is possible that
she had taken her own life. Efforts
are being made to find some trace of
the girl in Kenosha, but thus far the
efforts have been without result.

Attention
Farmers.

Why remain in the North
and stay indoors six months in
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
months?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. Ifyou are a stock raiser
you know your stock are now
"eating their heads off, and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors Of winter by
expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination Of both
fesh-forning and fat-forning
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce
in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first flesh
producer, and the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening
materials known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general
farming, fruit and berry grow
ing and truck gardening along
our road in the South than in
any other section of the Union.

Political Notes.

In this country interest still centers in the
political situation, though there have of late been
no developments of real Importance. Mr.. Bryan
is stumping Indiana, and is telling the people
there that Roosevelt should be defeated because
he insists on stirring up the race issue in the
South. Vice-Presidentia Davis is making a cam
paign tour ON a special train, and his marvellous
vigor is surprising those who have been saying
with Mr.. Dooley. that he lis 81 years old and has
forty million dollars, or is forty million years old
and has eighty-one dollars-anyway the figures
pass belief" Mr.. Cleveland is to preside at a
great Parker and Davis rally in New York City,
and may make one or two other speeches. Carl
Schurz has addressed a letter to the independent
vote, urging the defeat of Roosevelt as one who
has proven false to the high political ideals he
formerly preached.
Meanwhile, the Republicans are working like
Troians and profess to be supremely confident of
success. They point out that they have only to
get 80 votes in doubtful States to elect Roosevelt
while it will require 81 votes from doubtful States
to elect Parker.
