WOMEN IN BUSINESS.
A Strict Regard For Discipline Pro
duces the Best Results.

A Strict Regard For Discipline Pro-
duces the Best Results.
AS a general rule woman becomes eff
fcient in business in proportion as she
can lay aside the peculiarities and pre-
negatives of her sex and become to all
intents and purposes masculine. This
is not said in mitigation of the obvious
truth that indiscriminate contact with
men in employment tends to unsex Wo
man or in ignorance of the other fact
that in many pursuits the feminine
equipment fits its possessor for a finer
type of service than most men can
reach. But whenever an employees
relationship to the work becomes COM
plicated with the question of her sex,
then there are friction, waste and an
impairment Of availability.
The moment that the business Of an
Office or store has to be conducted on
the plan of soiree there is an end to
plain speech and quick work. 1t is not
enough that woman can do the same
work as man; she must be amenable
without friction to the same rules, dis
cipline and direct method as man.
Otherwise she stands in her own light;
otherwise she will find herself pur-
chasing gallantry and palaver at the
cost of better pay-Portland Oregoni-

Cornelius Yonkers Found Dead
at Southwest End Of Camp
Lake Throat SIashed.
He DISAPPEARED WEDNESDAY
The Remains of the Unfortunate Man
Were Discovered by Men Who Had
Started Out to Search for Him
and Were Taken to Silver Lake

The life1ess body of Cornelius Yon-
kers, an ice cutter employed by the
Jefferson Ice company at Camp Lake,
was found in lonely place at the
southwest corner of Camp Lake Fri
day afternoon. The mans throat had
been s1ashed from ear to ear.
Yonkers was about 80 years of age
and was a resident of South Chicago.
He had been in the employ of the.com-
pany at Camp Lake since the opening
of the ice cutting season three weeks
ago. On last Wednesday night Yon-
kers was out with a number of other
ice men, and when he started for his
room he had remarked that he expect
ed to be at work on the following day.
This was the last seen of him until
his body was found Friday evening.
When Yonkers failed to show up for
work on Thursday little was thought
of the matter, as the man in charge
of the gang in which Yonkers had
been working supposed that he had
gone to Chicago, or that he was at
his boarding house. When heafai1ed
to show up on Thursday a searching
party was selected to go out and look
for him. This party had been search
ing for more than five hours, when
they found the 1ife1ess body of the
man lying on bed of leaves. It was
evident from the appearancesof the
body that Yonkers hads been dead for
many hours. The blood had flowed
from the gaping woundssin his throat
and pool of it had been frozen hard.
The mans body was also frozen hard
and it is supposed that he had been
laying in the same spot since Wednes-
day night. Near the spot where the
body was found one of the workmen
picked up razor which was covered
with blood. It lay some distance from
the body, and it is thought that twas
either thrown there blythe man who
killed Yonkers, or that in his last
paroxyism he hurled the weapon from
him.
The indications seem to point
strongly to the fact that: onkers died
the death of suicide, but no reason
can be given for his taking his life.
He was one of the most cheerful of
the big army of men whoss are EN-
p1oyed in the ice fields, and when
last seen on Wednesday evening he
seemed to be perfectly satisfied with
his condition and with his work.
The murder theory, however, seems
to have little support. There is no
evidence of struggle more than the
fact that there were couple of small
cuts on the mans face, and it is more
than probable that these cuts were
made when he s1ashed his throat

KITCHEN HELPS.

Bedticking, not too heavy, makes
excellent dish towels, as it has no lint.
Wash thoroughly before hemming.
Half a lemon placed in the water in
which dish towels and kitchen cloths
are soaked is said to sweeten them
wonderfully.
Dip a cloth in kerosene Oil and rub
it all over the metal teakettle. Let
stand half. an hour and wash off with
soapsuds. Polish with newspaper and
baking soda. Do this weekly.
Conveniently near the range in the
kitchen should be placed the sink and
the dresser, not too far from the table
and range. You have then the princi-
pal articles so placed that the labor
will be much liShtened.
Borax is a useful thing to have in a
kitchen Add a little to the water when
boiling out enameled saucepans, and it
will help to cleanse them. If added to
the water dishclOths are washed in, it
will help to keep them a nice color.

TWO BAD WRECKS.
Two Trains on the st. Paul Road
Wrecked Near the North
Line Of This County.
CAUSES BIG PROPERTY LOSS.
(From Saturdays Dai1y.)

Two freight wrecks of a serious
nature occurred on the southwestern
division of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railway, Thursday night and
Friday morning, delaying all trains
for many hours and involving a fnan-
cial loss of between $1,000 and $12, 900,
but no one was injured.
The first accident was one mile east
of Union Grove. A freight train was
bound east when truss in the trucks
of car broke. Before the mishap
was discovered the car was dragged
to the river bridge. Here the car and
caboose were left and the balance of
the train ran to Cor1iss and several
hours after wrecking train came and
placed new trucks under the car,
which was loaded with birthstone and
consigned to the Diamond Match Co.,
of Oshkosh. This accident shut off
the two passenger trains bound for
the west and one bound for the east.
However, the trains ran close to the
wreck and passengers were trans
ferred for the east, but the train re-
NAMED att Union Grove until II
O'Clock Friday night Ibefore it could
get through, and the west bound
trains were stalled atsCor1iss.
The second wreck was at or near the
Kenosha county line, between two
sections of the fast Kansas City beer
and inner chandisessSt The first
section was obliged to stop on ac-
count of hot box and slight break
down.
Before the trairmen could go back
and flag the second section it came
along at a rapid rate and crashed into
the caboose gof the front train.
Engineer and fireman seeing that an
accident was unavoidable, jumped
and escaped injury. 1.-THE locomotive
p1oughed through the caboose and ia
to the freight clears and before it
stopped the cabooseia land six cars were
totally wrecked, with all kinds of
merchandise, freight and beer and the
locomotive was totally disabled.
The wreck caught fire and the dam
aged cars burned up. The loss is esti-
mated at between $4,000 and $4,000.
All incoming and outgoing trains
we're delayed, in fact traffic was com
p1ete1ysb1ocked on that line until this
afternoon.
Most of theaseast bound passenger
trains went athrough to Milwaukee
from E1khorn, on.the Prairie du Chen
division.
The southwestern division is GER
tainly having more than its share of
accidents. Only few days ago an
engine ran into Ea freight train at
De1avantand'thre men we're injured.

New Industrial Map Of the City
Shows That Factories Have
Doubled Since 1900.
SIMMONS AND ALLEN in LEAD
The New Map is Issued for the Use of
Insurance Companies, and Shows a
Decided Growth in all Parts of
the City.-Bui1t Three Schools

A new insurance map of the indus
trial districts of Kenosha has just
been issued by the Sanborn Map COM
pany off New York and Chicago, and
it will be matter of great interest to
the people of Kenosha on account of
the fact that it shows the great indus
trial growth of the city in half de-
cade.
The 1aststnap of the city was issued
in 1900, and in the five years that have
elapsed sthe industrial plants have
been doubled in their capacity, and
Kenosha hasugrown until it is one of
the greatest manufacturing centers
in the state.
Few people in the city realize the
great industrial growth of the city
during the past five years. In that
time the Sterling splant has changed
from ''dead" plant to the greatest
factory for sthe manufacture of auto
mobiles insthe'sUnited States. All of
the other plants in the city have been
enlarged, and the Badger Brass COM
pany hassbui1t splendid new factory
building. The Kenosha Gas & Elect
rio company has added new power
house, and several:buildings for minor
industries have been erected.
The greatest 9growth among the in
dustria1 plants issshown at the Sim
mons Manufacturing company and at
the p1antsofa the IN. r. Aliens Sons
tannery. By spring these two plants
will have moreS than doubled their
capacity ofsfve years ago.
The map not only shows the great
growth in the factory districts, but it
also shows the large growth. of the
resident districts of the city. During
the five years three new churches
have been built. Two of the churches
have been remode1ed and repaired.
Three new school buildings have been
erected. The city has built the Gil
lett and Weiskopf schools on the
North side of the city, and the Durkee
school on the South side. Added to
this the German Lutherans have
built new school in the Third ward.
More than a thousand houses have
been erected in Kenosha during the
FIVE years. The limits of the city
have been greatly extended, and plans
are now being made for further ex-
tension of these limits.
The population during the five years
has increased by from four to five
thousand people.

first list will be long enough, but the

the victim. He CHANGED to be stop

a couple from the neighborhood asked

Prospects for an Increased Yield the

The EVENING News correspondent
from Somers, in commenting on the
prospects of growing cabbage next
year, says:
From present indications it would
seem as if the acreage in cabbage the
coming season will surpass that of
last year, as move is on foot among
number of the farmers in the vicin-
ity of the railroad crossing of the
county line road TO make an effort to
have switch put in at that place IN
order to sidetrack car loads of manure
brought from Chicago. At least $50
car loads would be taken and possibly
this number would be increased. It is
not known at present what action the
railroad company would take, but if
the request was granted it would save
considerable hauling as some are
drawing three miles at present from
Somers.''

Baltimore Society Women Are Good
Judges Of Food Products.
It is a recognized fact that the Balti-
more society woman goes to market as
regularly as she attends church, and
in many Instances her face is much
more familiar where the good things
for the inner man are to be found than
it is at the place of worship. Although
she may have an excellent housekeeper
and a ret1nue of servants, yet milady
prefers to personally select the meats
and vegetables for the family table.
On Tuesday and Friday mornings of
each week Lexington market is the
Mecca for many women who are mem
bers Of the Monumental City's wealth
lest and most aristocratic families, and
a long line of carriages such as might
be found where a reception was in
progress is strung out along Lexington
and EutaW streets.
AS early as 10 o'clock the woman
who has the night before been the host
ess OF some brilliant function alights
from her carriage, usually at the Eu-
taw street end of the market, some
times accompanied by her butler, but
more frequently she enters the market
place alone. Going from one stall to an
other, testing the youth of the poultry
the tenderness Of the beef, the firmness
OF the tomato and the freshness of the
fruit, she brushes shoulders with the
wife Of the poorest laborer, for this is
a. market patronized by all classes.
Usually her purchases are sent to the
carriage, which is left in charge of a
cOachman.-Leslie's Weekly.
