A new rural free delivery route
will soon be established out of Ham
lin leading to the south west.
| A neglected enterprise lies up the
road about six miles from Extra, at
the thrifty town of Hamlin. We
landed there this morning after a
hard rain that had soaked up mother
earth SO we had "sott time'' walk
ing from the little depot that is
placed down near the stock yards, to
the post office that is located nearly
quarter OF a mile away. The little
platform at the depot was covered
with goods unloaded here for the
town and for the town of Kimball-
| ton which is situated about twelve
miles inland. The freight room, too,
was full of merchandise. We started
through the mud, which there was
no visible way to shun, to the store
and post office only to find at the
destination pair of wet feet and
mud on our pedal extremities so
heavily loaded that 1t took the COM
bined efforts OF two good men to
make man look presentable. OF
course dry socks would have been a
luxury but being so far from home
and not finding anything in the
store that would fit our unwieldy
brogans, we just had to be content by
cleaning off our shoes as best we
could and be satisfied until we had
made the town of Brayton to which
our business took us and keep in our
wet shoes till our business was done
and we were landed at home, eight
hours after getting soaked. If ever
little town that is increasing it's
business every year, was neglected by
the ones who profit most by it, the
town is Hamlin. 1t would seem to
the casual observer that public necess-
ity demands the removal of the depot
several hundred feet north or nearer
to the heart of the town and away
from the horrible stencil emitting
from the aged stock yards that are
in such close proximity. For the
good of mankind in and near Hamlin
we trust the great Rock Island sys-
TEN will look the ground over and at
least build a walk from the depot to
the town line where the people de-
clare they will Join and make travel
ing to and from the post office to the
depot passable.

Des Moines, Sept. l0.-The petition
for the establishment of brewery
has passed the city council with the
loss of about 800 names and the pro-

Patent Medicine Distributed,

Des Moines, Sept. A sample of
patent medicine was thrown into the
yard of D. w. Green, on Madison

Women Chimney-sweeps.

The yocations to which our latter
day women are devoting their ener-
gies, are increasing in number, and
realms unthought of before are being
invaded. A guild or union Of women
chimney-sweeps has been started in
st. Petersburg and Moscow. It's
founder is the widow of a sweep
blessed with six daughters. All seven
belong to the guild and are active
members. No woman chimney sweep
is to be less than IA years old or more
than 35, but girl assistants may be adj
mitted at s years. As soon as a sweep
marries she must leave the guild. All
must sign the temperance pledge and
be members Of the Orthodox Greek
church.

AN OLD RESIDENT OF KEN0SHA
Came to the City in 1857 and Had
Been Here Ever Since-Ten Years
a Member the County Board
and Former Assessor

Matthias Zievers, member Of the
county board of supervisors and the
Oldest Office holder in the county, died
at his home on North Main street just
after g O'Clock Thursday. Death
resulted from cancer of the throat,
from which Mr.. Zievers had been suf-
fering for more than six months. He
had been confined to his bed, how
ever, for less than week, and the
announcement of his demise will come
as a surprise to many of his closest
friends. Mr.. Zievers was 50 years of
age at the time of his death and he
had been a resident of Kenosha for
more than fifty years.
The deceased was born at F1iesen,
in Prussia, on Dec. 6, 1922. He came
to this country and settled at Keno
sha in 1857. His first home was To-
Gated only few yards from the one
in which he died. During his early
life in Kenosha Mr.. Zievers took an
important part in the development OF
the city. For many years he was the
best known contractor in the city,
and st. Georges church was origin.
ally planned and erected by him,
After the fire destroyed the church
Mr.. zievers was again employed tc
rebuild it. His handiwork was also
seen in many of the largest buildings
built on the North side during the
earlier days. In 1876 he gave up the
contracting business and for many
years was the proprietor of saloon
in the business portion of the city.
After he gave up the saloon bust.
ness he went into politics and fol
many years he was one of the leaders
of the city Democracy. He was elect.
ed to the Office of assessor and held
this Office for two terms. Later he
was elected a member of the county
board from the old Second ward and
later he took up the same Office from
the Sixth ward. He was the Oldest
member of the board, but he always
took a great interest in the work and
had served as member of many inn
portant committees. His death will
leave vacancy on the county board
but it will be filed by the city council
before the meeting of the board which
will begin early in November.
Mr.. Zievers was a member of St.
Georges church and had taken an
active part in church work. He was
also member of st. Joseph's society.
In 1855 in Germany, Mr.. zievers was
married to Miss Mary Krann, who
died in Kenosha in 1862 leaving three
children, John B. zievers, Edward
Zievers and Miss Emma Zievers ali OF
Kenosha. Mr.. Zievers was married
again in 1864 to Miss Maggie Hass
who died two years later. In 1868 he
married Miss Susan Schwaltach who
died several years ago.
