JAPANESE WHALERS.

The Curious Way They Do Their
Work With Nets and Knives.
Whales are captured in nets by the
Japanese. he whalers put off from
the shore as quietly as possible, and
when they come within the proper dis
lance OF their objective the boats,
which have hitherto worked in couples,
separate and, dropping their nets as
they go, work around to the rear and
TANKS OF their expected Kill The nets
are made in large squares, each side
being about forty feet long One net
is composed of six squares in line, and
the squares are fastened to each other
lightly When all is ready the boats
which have been worked around to the
rear of the whale then commence to
drive him gently toward the nets. Nov
ing along lazily ut first, the whale soon
realizes that something untoward Is
happening and, hurrying forward.
dashes on to one of the nets. This is the
critical moment, and when the fisher
men see that the whale is well in the
center of one of the squares they raise
a great shout and charge in upon him.
When the whale is about spent man
chosen for his strength, activity, pluck,
GOODNESS and general fitness for his
work then leaps upon his back and
with a great triangular shaped knife
proceeds TO cut two great gashes in bis
body just back of his head Through
the underlying blubber and these two
gashes he passes a rope and, knotting
it, makes a loop of it. lie then repeats
the same operation as far back on his
body as he can. When the fight has

whale, boats range alongside of him,

as to minimize the danger of his car

Then the boats form in procession

ARoumnninn Curon,.

A strange custom is still observed In
Roumania which reminds one strongly
Of Robinson Crusoe. When a servant
has displeased his or her master the
offender takes his boots In his hands
and places them before the bedroom
door Of his master. 1t Is a sign Of
great submission, and the boots are
either kicked away as an intlmation
that the fault will not be forgiven or
else the servant Is told to place them
on his feet, which shows that he is for
given.

II should be further noted In this connection
that this increase In the cost OF elections "
equivalent to adding to the county's bonded
Indebtedness the sum OF over Sb,0o, rating
the interest at 3 ! 2 per cent, the rate that -
paid on the greater part OF the countyB debt.
And the taxpayers are compelled TO submit,
for the present, at least.
The total of the above additional appro-
prations amounts to : x. SOC, being an increase
since 1897 for which the County Commlsslon-
ers are in no wise responsible, and for which
they are compelled TO make the tax rate 10
cents higher every year than IL would %
otherwise. without this 10 cents tho rate
this year would have been 70 cents instead OF
50 cents, or three cents less than In 1897, and
as there was adebt OF 3 50 600 left unpaid BY
the retiring Board at that time which would
have necessitated a rate of " cents has said

by strict economy and careful management
that the rate has been kept down, and at the
same time giving the people large measure

John Smith a man 81 Years Of age
has Narrow Escape From
Death "Wednesday.
ESCAPED ALMOST UNINJURE
Physician However Claims That on Ac-
count of His Advanced Age Shock
may Result Seriously if
not Fatally.

John Smith, an old man g years of
age, residing with his son-in-law at
No. 81 Ridge street, had a mirac-
ulous escape from being killed under
the wheels of switch engine in the
yards OF the North Western Railway
company, just after 4 O'Clock Wednes-
day afternoon. The old man was at
tempting to cross the Garden street
crossing when he was struck by the
engine and hurled to the side of the
track. We're it not for the extreme
age Of Smith his injuries would not
be considered serious, but the physi-
clan in attendance stated that he is
suffering from the shock of the acct
dent and his condition for this reason
is critical.
Smith had left the home Of his
daughter and had planned 1to go to
the business portion Of the city
When he was picked up he was not
able to give any account of the acct
dent, but bystanders state that the
old man started to cross, the track

front part of the engine. Quite
crowd collected at the scene of the ac-
cident and the railway men, with the
assistance of pedestrians, picked the
old man up and carried him into
house near the scene of the accident.
He seemed to be perfectly conscious
and was game to the core, insisting
that he could walk home. Later the
ambulance was summoned and the in
jured man was taken to the Kenosha
hospital.
DR.. Farr was called to attend him
and examination showed that the old
man had suffered severe abrasions on
his face and shoulder, but no bores
were broken. He remained at the
hospital for few hours and then IN
sisted on being taken to the home Of
his daughter. He was able to sit up
this morning and the physician is
hopeful of his recovery.
Smith had grown used to the siren
uous life during his earlier years and
he told the physician that he was the
father Of tt irteen children.
The physician regards the escape
Of Smith from instant death as almost
a miracle.

matter was referred to the committee

will be made at the next regular
meeting Of the board.
The president and clerk Of the
board were authorized to take some
steps to secure the enumeration OF the

right to purchase trees for planting at

day.
The tennis players in the High
school were given the right to lay out

No action was taken in regard to
the election of clerk of the board,
as it was discovered that the contract
with Mr.. Zi1nmers for this work would
not expire until the end of the school
year. Mr.. zimmers was, however,
given the services of stenographer
to aid him in his work.

FROM CARY,
State Supt. Of Schools Pays High
Compliments to Kenosha
Schools and Teachers.
STATE THANKS MR.. JEFFERY.
Mr.. Cary Says "The Generosity of

Training Cannot Be Too
Strongly Commended"

State uperintendent Charles P.
Cary has paid high tribute to the
work of the Kenosha schools and Ke-
nosha teachers in letter which has
recently been sent to superintendent
Zimmers. The letter comes as an an
nouncement of the result of the recent
visit Of the State High School In
spector to Kenosha. In his letter Mr..
Cary also pays tribute to the generos-
ity Of Thomas B. Jeffery in making
manual training a possibility in the
city schools. The letter follows:
Madison, Wis, April II, 1905.
Mr.. P. j. Zimmers,
7 Kenosha, Wis.
Dear Sir:-The State High School
Inspector visited your schools on
April 10. He had an opportunity to
meet the superintendent of schools
and to spend some time in discussing
matters in detail with you and Mr..
Hooking as well as with the other
teachers.
The business organization, manage
ment and discipline of the school is
commended, and the inspe ctor notes
very definite growth in the quality of
work done throughout the school
since his last visit.
The enrolment of the schools is
steadily increasing and your accom-
modations are already insufficient.
More teachers and more school room
facilities will evidently be necessary
another year.
It is gratifying to learn that steps
are soon to be taken to introduce
manual training in your grades. The
generosity of those who have made
the beginning of this work possible
cannot be too strongly commended. l
am particularly pleased to know that
you are to begin this work where it is
most needed. Many communities
make the mistake of Offering it in the
High school first. IF a years work
can later on be offered in the High

WINS Big VICTORY.
Mrs. Donald C. Mclean Elected
President Of D. A. R. After
Opponents Combined.
RECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM.

Notwithstanding the fact that a
strong combination had been made to
defeat her election, Mrs. Donald G.
Mclean of New York, well known to
many people in Kenosha, was elected
President General Of the Daughters
of the American Revolution at Wash
ington Thursday night.
The result of her victory is matter
of great rejoicing among the Daugh-
tiers of the Kenosha chapter, and let
tiers have been sent to Mrs. Mclean
offering the congratulations of the
chapter.
Thursday, when it was found that
the first ballot had not been decis-
i've one it was feared that Mrs. Me-
Lean would be defeated as the two
other candidates for the honor had
agreed to form combination. Mrs.
Lippit in keeping with this agreement
at once withdrew from the race but it
was not possible for her to hand her
full strength over to Mrs. Sternberg,
the other candidate, and Mrs. Mclean
and her friends broke the combination
and twenty of the votes went to the
New York woman, giving her sufici-
ent for election.
Mrs. Mclean had been candidate
for the honor for three years and her
election had been urged by the great
rank and file of members in all parts
of the United States. She had been
opposed by the so-ca11ed official"
wing of the society and every effort
had been made to defeat her.
The victory of Mrs. Mclean was
popular one and when the result of the
ballot was announced the new presi-
dent was received with cheers and
hand c1apping which lasted more than
five minutes.
Mrs. Mclean proved that she could
be generous to her opponents and as
soon as her election had been an
nounced she requested that Mrs.
Sternberg, who had been her princi-
pal opponent, be named as member
of the Ways and Means committee,
the most important committee posi-
ton in the gift of the society,

Shortly after O'Clock Friday even
ing serious accident occurred on the

dent several passengers we're badly
shaken up and traffic on the line was

Manual Training at .Once.


Notwithstanding the fact that the
committees of the new board had not
as yet gotten down to work, the spec
ia1 committee on manual training APP
pointed by the old board made re-
port in favor of the board accepting
the offer of Mr.. Jeffrey and offering a
plan for an immediate starting of the
manual training work. The plan,
which was adopted by the board, pro-
vides for the opening of one Of the
basement rooms at the Durkee school
as a manual training room. The work
is to be under the direction Of Prof.
Charles B. Woodstock. who will re-
main as principal Of the building, but
the board will employ new teacher
to take his work in the eighth grade.
For the first two or three weeks the
manual training work will be offered
to the pupils of the fifth, sixth, sew
enth and eighth grades of the Durkee
school, but it will be extended to the
other schools as rapidly as possible.
The board authorized the superinten-
dent to secure the services of some ex-
pert in manual training to get the
work started right.
The plans made by the board meet
with the hearty approval Of Mr.. JEFF
ferry and he has promised to pay the
bills as rapidly as they are presented
to him.

came before the board. Proposals
were received for the erection Of fire
