GETS BIG CONTRACT.
John 0'DonneII Will Supply Coal
For City Water Company
For One Year.
COMPANY WILL SAVE MONEY

The Board of Water Commissioners
has purchased the supply Of coal for
the water works for the coming year.
and the contract has been let to John
O'Donnel1. All the coal dealers in the
city bid on the big contract, but the
bid of John O'Donne11 to supply Fair
mont Virginia coal at $50 ton was
the most tempting offer the commits
sioners received. The contracts for
the coal cali for the delivery of 1000
tons during the next twelve months,
and no change in the price will be
permitted during the time.
The coal is not the same as pur-
chased last year, but the commission
ers, after making a careful investiga-
ton, believe that the Fairmont coal
will answer the purpose just as we'll
as the Morgan Run coal purchased by
them last year at the price of $50
per ton.
The bids brought a little degree of
comfort to the commissioners, as they
seem to indicate that there is reason
to hope for cheaper coal. The same
coal was offered to the commission
last year, but the price at that time
was not nearly SO attractive as it was
this year.
The action of the commission gives
assurance that ali the big Kenosha
coal contracts will be left with the
Kenosha dealers this year.
The reduction in the price of the
coal over last year will be a saving to
the company of $40 on the seasons
supply.
The coal boats are coming into Ke-
nosha IN large numbers this year,
and there is no longer any doubt but
that there will be plentiful supply
of both the hard and soft coal. It is
probable, however, that the dealers
in Kenosha will be called upon to
supply much of the coal used in Zion
City and other cities in the neighbor-
hood, and for this reason the dealers
are putting in an extra large supply.

Russian Soldier in Kenosha is
Crazed by Desire to Clash
With the Japanese.
CRAZED BY LOVE AND WAR.
Friends of Peter Phillips, Lithuan
ian, Ask That He Be Examined
For Insanity.

Crazed by love of a sweetheart and
longing to be at the front with the
Russian army, Peter Phillips is
being confined in a narrow room in a
little boarding house over on North
Chicago street, and his friends and
fellow countrymen have asked the
sheriff to have him examined before
Judge S1osson in order that he may
be committed to an asylum for the in
sane. The doctors in attendance on
the man state that there is no ques-
ton but what he is suffering from a
severe attack of nervous break idown.
Phillips, before he came to this
country, was soldier in the Russian
army, and he had seen the service re-
quired of him by the laws of Russia.
But when the war broke out, and the
Japanese began to win victories from
the Russians Phillips began to sigh
for his old companions, and long
ing to be with them came back, and
since that time he has been suffering
from more or less nervous trouble.
the kilograms from the front, and in
his rawlings he has fancied himself
leading the Russians against the
Japs. His shouts of victory or groans
of defeat have aroused the people in
the neighborhood.
In his war like spirit he has also
stated that his nervous break down is
due to the love which he bore for a
woman. Phillips went to Waukegan
when he first came to this country,
and there he fell in love with Lith-
uan1an girl.
The girl seemed to return his affec-
ton and the banns for the wedding Of
the two we're published from the
church in Waukegan, but soon after
the banns were published Phillips
claims that he discovered that the
woman was untrue to him and he
broke the engagement and returned
to Kenosha. Since that time he has
paid little attention to his work in
this city and has been longing to get
to his old home in order that he might
again get into the Russian army.
The companions of Phillips claim
he had splendid record as a soldier
and that at several times he distin-
guished himself for bravery.
During the last two days Phillips
has become violent and last night he
attacked onelof his companions who
had made an effort to sleep with him,
The man escaped with slight injuries.
