INCREASE FOR "BATTLER
Champion Lightweight Fought Here
Ten Years Ago for $3.50

After the victory of Battling"
Nelson in Colma on. Saturday, the
kenosha sports who ahave. followed
the game for many years are, recall
ing the fact that he at one time ap-
peared IN Kenosha. Nolan, who is
manager for Nelson, states that the
hight Saturday netted his man some
thing like $13, 200 and worlds cham
pionship.
This is decidedly different fromhis
fight IN Kenosha. The batt1er was
then stockyards pug, and he came
to kenosha and went on for six
round bout for the magnificent sum
of $3.50, and added to this he got only
the losers end of the string as the
referee decided against him. The
man who whipped him was so much
OF dub that his name has not even
been handed down in sporting history
of Kenosha.

ASK RAIL WAYS AID
City Council Making an Effort to
Secure the Improvement Of
West Main Street
RAILWAY MAY DECLINE TO ACT
Property Owners Urge That the Street
be Paved During the Present Year.
Alleys are Ordered Paved.-No
Action Taken on Sewers

The city council is making one last
and hard effort to secure the co-opera-
ton of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway company in the Improvement
of West Main street and the present
plan is to have the roadway paved
from Grand avenue to Prairie avenue
before the close of the present year.
During the winter months the street
is one of the worst in the city and at
certain times of the year it is inn
passab1e. Portions of the street are
more travelled than any other roadway
in the city and the paving is an i'm
perative one. This work cannot be
done without the aid of the Kenosha
Electric Railway company and the
Northwestern company. BY the
terms of the franchise the Electric
Railway company is forced to do its
share of the work but the North
Western road is not.
The committee on streets and
alleys has been ordered to take
this up with the representatives. of
the railway company and secure some
immediate decision in regard to the
matter. It would seem to man not
interested in the railway that the
company would be glad to meet the
city half wayin this effort to secure
the improvement Of the roadway
which leads directly to the depot of
the road but the company has been
very slow to take up the matter and
if the officers of the company consent
to aid It is probable that they will
consent to the paving of only small
portion of the roadway. The COM
mittee anticipating the action of the
council has already taken up the
matter with the officials of the COM
pany in a preliminary manner and
these men have stated that the work
must be ordered by the division
superintendent and they have it as
their opinion that the company will
not agree to the paving of more
than one block of the roadway during
the present year.
Members of the council seem to be
in favor of forcing the work by the
railway company, and they insist
that the North Western should have
no more favors from the city of Keno
sha until this work is done. This
policy of obstruction might not prove
a winner for the city, but it would
certainly show the company that even
with its monopoly of the railway BUSH
ness of Kenosha the city still has
some rights of its own which the
council will protect.
The street assessment committee
ordered the paving of the alleys in
the block bounded by Main and Ex-
change streets and by Park and Mar
ket streets. The estimated cost Of
this work is 81, 354 and it is expected
that the work can be done3 this year.
The council took action to prevent
the accidents that have been caused
by the negligence of contractors, and
the police have been instructed to
force ali contractors digging up the
streets to properly guard such
trenches with fences and lights so
that there may be no chance of acct
dents in the future.
The remainder of the time Of the
aldermen was given over to the dis
cussion of routine business left over
from the two preceding sessions.

DAMAGE DONE BY BEAVERS.
Spoil Salmon Streams, Flood Railroads
and Destroy Bridges in Canada.

Stories about the damage done by
beavers are coming from the back coun-
try not far from Pictou and Sarnia.
Canada. In order to prevent the COM
plete extinction of beavers it has been
made an ofense against the law to Kill
any OF them upon any pretense what
ever.
! The prohibition has been in force for
some time, and beaver villages have late
~ been reported to be appearing in sew
eral directions. There is said to be a
strong colony some miles behind the
town of Tadoussac at the mouth of the
Saguenay, which has spoiled a salmon
stream by building a system of dams
upon it.
Now from Pictou comes the intelli-
gence that bridges have been destroyed,
railway tracks flooded and low living
timber limits injured by the damnling of
the rivers by the interchangeable workers.
The houses and pools of the beavers may
not be interfered with and there is some
talk of taking action against the govern
ment which has indirectly allowed these
Injuries to trade and business.
! There does not appear to be any diff
fculty about the too rapid multiplication
of the beavers in districts where fur
trapping Indians ply their craft These
clever hunters doubtless gather in the
beavers as they come along law or 10
law. There is always wide latitude al
lowed to the aborigines in all game law
matters.-New York Sun.

Walk of Woodsman and Of Indian

A woodsman walks with rolling mo-
ton. his hips swaying an inch or more
to the stepping side, and his pace is cor
respondingly long. This hip action may
be noticed to an exaggerated degree in
the stride cf a professional pedestrian
but the latter walks with a heel and toe
step, whereas an Indians or sailors step
is more nearly tlat-fOoted.
In the latter case the center of gravity
is covered by the whole foot. The poise
is as secure as that of q rope walker.
The toes are pointed straight forward, or
even a trifle inward, SO that the inside of
the heel. the outside of the ball of the
foot, and the smaller toes, all do their
share of work and assist in balancing.
Walking in the woods in this manner,
one is not SO likely, either, to trip over
projecting roots, stones and other traps
as he would be if the feet formed hooks
by pointing outward. The advantage is
obvious in snowshoeing.
If the Indian were turned to stone
while in the act of stepping the statue
would probably stand balanced on one
foot. This gait gives the limbs great
control over his movements. He is al
ways poised. If a stick cracks under
him it is because Of his weight, and not
by reason of the impact. He goes silent
ly on and with great economy Of force.
His steady balance enables him to put
his moving foot down as gently as you
would lay an egg on the table.-Field and
Stream.

The advantages Of this platform

which it can be kept from getting

of none better-even if the owner be

Of course a moderate slant is given

the clay is kept built up flush with
the surface of the board. The body of
the cow-including her udder-when
lying down, rests on the clay, which,
when bedded lightly with the usual
litter, makes an easy and clean rest
ing place.

The Oil Stove in Summer.

1t is not the work of this depart
ment to boom oil stoves and especially
any particular make of which there
are a dozen good ones, but it is quite
within our province to show the farm
er and his wife how money may be
saved by the use of an oil stove as
well as how the house may be kept
much cooler in a summer than when
coal fire is kept The cost Of running
an oil stove varies. of course, accord
ing to the length of time it is allowed
to burn, but when one is through with
tie flame it may be turned off and the
expense for fuel stopped, which is not
the case with the fire in the range
Again, the heat may be had in three
minutes that would require an hour
to obtain with the coal stove. Here
we save time. Oil stoves are no more
dangerous than an oil lamp if they
are cared for as thoroughly as we care
for our lamps. One source of trouble
IS allowing the contents Of the vessel
to boil over and drop down on the
burner which makes it sticky and
likely to spread the flame. An excel
lent way to avoid this, when one is
cooking anything likely to boil over,
is to set a shallow tin pan over the
hole and in this set the article holding
the food The hard worked wife will
appreciate the oil stove and with care
it will last through several summers.

and Printing Telegraph company, which
is erecting a new line in Hermitage
street, should not surround her house
with telephone wires, and defed a large
crew of workmen, reinforced by the po-
lice. Holes had been scooped out in
front of her house for the poles, but as
yet they have not been placed. and work
has been postponed indefinitely. For
Mrs. Donohoe came off victorious after
the first skirmish. She placed one of her
children in eacl. of the six holes and de-
fed the workmen. The police were called

den hose, turned stream of water out
of a second story window, causing both
bluecoats and telephone employees to beat

Plague OF Mice.

Australia has had all sorts of plaques

moth and insect pests of all kinds. A
record has, however, been established
this month in the New South Wales
town of Merriwa. which has been and
still is suffering from plague of mice
which defes description. One press tele-
gram states:
Recently in the premises of general
store in Merriwa 10000 mice were de-
stroyed in four nights. Upward of 500
were captured while q cricket net was
being unrolled. Four or five bushels of
oats in a bag were appropriated by the
mice in a night. A local well ceased to
yield water, and on examination it was
found to contain solid mass several
feet deep of dead vermin. Food, water,
and bedding are overrun and contaminat-
ed and injured

Poultry Notes.

When alfalfa cannot be had, give
the chicks a chance at red clover.
Give the hens and young chicks a
chance for an occasional dust bath,
which will drive away lice.
Quarreling hens should be separated,
as a hen that is worried will not do
her best at laying.
Poultry raising is now the fad in
Florida, where the industry has long
been neglected.
An ugly rooster should be disposed
of. He is as dangerous in the flock
as when running at large.
When killing fowls, let the blood
drip into a pail of bran, as the mix
ture makes a splendid food.
Grit, oyster shells or a baked mix
ture of salt and charcoal should al
ways be available for the hens.
A poultry raiser gives the follow
ing combinatio for morning feed for
laying hens: Mash Of bran and dry
cut alfalfa equal parts, per cent
meat and blood meal, same amount
Of crushed charcoal, the whole season
ed with salt.

Isn't This Absolutely True?


Nothing ever became pOpular-here
or in any other country-without a
reason.
Popular men have merit of some
kind, MUST have, or they would not
be popular.
They must have EXCEPTIONAL.
MERIT and wonderful character if
their popularity INCREASES WITH
TIME
AS with men, so WITH GOODS.
SO with any article that is on the
market. IT CANNOT INCREASE ITS
SALES, it cannot be adopted as a
STANDARD article, it cannot survive
generations unless it have real, inner
ent merit
Millions of dollars spent in advertis-
ing any article without merit are just
wasted, so far as continued sales are
concerned. Intelligent houSekeepers
cannot be compelled to buy what they
do not approve of.
That much is a self-evident fact 1t
cannot be gainsaid. But it tells its
own story of LION COFFEE and it's
quality-a coffee that has been the
leader of all package coffees for more
than a quarter of century, that has
steadily grown in the affections of mill
ions Of American homes since it's first
introduction, long. long ago.
Its unexceiled flavor, perfect purity
and uniform quality; its absolute clean
illness and neat appearance, have en-
deared it to the hearts of the people
Good grocers will tell you this, but
those who drink coffee ought to know
much more about quality than they
who simply SELL it.
Insist on LION COFFEE; buy no
loose coffee Tin bulk)-you don't knox
what you get How can your grocer?
