CONSCIOUSNESS.

SISTERSyILLE, W. Va. Jan. g.
This city experienced something yes
terday that has heretofore been re
markabIy conspicuous for its alb
sence-an attempted hold-up. Other
cities and towns of the State have
something similar happening at very
frequent intervals, but Sistersville
has always escaped, because of supe-
rior police protection. Yesterday
morning. shortly after o'clock.
Frank Gaiety. an elderly empioye of
the Brilliant Club rooms, was as
saulted as he entered the narrow hall
way of the Mrs, A. Cutler residence
on Wells street, where he has room.
The assailant had serreptitiously en-
tered the house and as Gaiety enter
ed he struck the latter over the head
with a sand-bag. The victim fell
against the door. but was not render
ed unconscious and succeeded by the
vigorous use of his legs and loud
cutlery in preventing his assailant
from committing the robbery which
was planned. With the first blow
the bag of sand became detached
from its handle, and this fortunate &C.
cident no doubt saved the plucky Mr..
Gaiety from knockout.
Chief of Police Williams has ar.
rested young man of unsavory rep

SUSPENSION BRIDGES.
Used by Man Hundreds Of Years AgG
For Crossing Streams.

Used by Man Hundreds of Years Ago
For Crossing Streams.
The towline Is doubtless the earliest,
as it is still the simplest, application Of
a rope for the removal Of material
Hitched to floating log, the genesis
Of all water craft, canoe or sledge, it
was used before history learned the
art Of writing or mankind the art Of
reading
The towline was combined with the
suspension cable as a means of cross
ing streams in the mountains Of Hin
dustan at very remote period. The
suspension cable, often several hum
dred feet in length, was made of twist
e0 fbers or slender stalks Of climbing
vines. This was solidly secured to
large trees or masses Of rocks on the
banks Of the chasms to be crossed. On
this cable wooden block, grooved I'M
derneath, was placed, suspended from
which was small rude platform or at
times a simple loop Of rope for the
passenger or baggage. The wooden
block, with it's attached load, was pull
ed across the chasm in either direction
by a towline attached to the block.
This rude contrivance Is the genesis Of
the most refined aerial ropeWays Of the
present day and Of the suspension
bridge also, which is, Of crude form,
of very great antiquity.
When the Spaniards first visited Pc
ru they found suspension bridges which
could be traversed by men and bur-
dened animals. Some Of these bridges
were of over 200 feet span and were
formed Of half dozen cables Of twist
ed osiers stretched from bank to bank
and passed over wooden supports.
These cables were bound together by
smaller ropes and were covered with
a layer of bamboo, which formed a
support for the roadway.

Stricken Russia.

Interest In the panorama Of events in
Russia has distracted the attention of
the outside world from the horrible sit
uation in which the upheavals Of the
last few months have left the masses of
the pee IT Is to be hoped that the
stories aeities have been exagger-
ated, but e1ough has been confirmed to
show that tens Of thousands are home
less, starving and wretched. Fire and
sword, famine and pestilence have
swept over the land, and self preser-
walton will be the first law under new
conditions for the masses, who have
been reared in ignorance and made
brutal by oppression.
To the victims Of mobs maddened
with vodka and liberty must be added
the starving peasantry whom the sea-
sons crop failures left without food.
The problem Of caring for the suffer
ing is an immense one and calls for the
aid Of all who have the love of their
fellow men IN tiisii1 hearts, backed by
the courage to look behind the shifting
scenes and face the terrible truth.
Neither race nor religion should stand
In the way Of unity Of action in offer
ing relief. 1t Is not alone Jews who
have suffered. Horrors have been met
ed out to others, and favoritism in send
ing relief to one class In the commune
U where all are in want from much
the same cause would serve but to in
tensify race hatred and make the lot
Of those unfortunate people still hard
er In days to come.

Victor Lindquist Of Bristol, Dies
While Serving Thanksgiving
Dinner to His Children
COMES WITHOUT WARNING
Dead Farmer Had just Started to
Carve the Thanksgiving Fowl When
He Fell Over in His Chair and
Death Came at Once

One ofsthe most unusual visits OF
death ever chronicled in Kenosha
county, occurred Thursday noon
when Victor Lindquist, one of the
we'll knownl pioneer farmers and
businessmen of the county died at
his home inlBristo1. Lindquist had
just sat down to the table and had
started to carve the Thanksgiving
trrkey,lwhen head fell forward on
his breast and before any of the mem
bers of the family could reach him he
had expired.
Lindquist was 81 years Of ge, but
he was asmans remarkably preserved
and during the past few weeks e had
been intAunusu l good health and
spirits. He was in Kenosha on We'd
nesday afternoon and remained until
late int afternoon visiting with his
friend the city and telling the
Thanksgiving dinner he was to have
at his home.
Just before noonshe had been about
the housesand complained of no pain.
Dinner was served at noon and Mr..
and Mrs. Lindquist and his son
gathered about the dinner table. Mr..
Lindquist sat at the of the table
and when the wife brought in the
fowl he started to carve it. He was
laughing at the size ofSthe fowl for
such a.snall family. gJust at this
time the son noticed that his
father head had fallen forward and
he went to his side. A minute later
the old mar: fell out of the chair and
was dead. DR.. Stevens Bristol,
was hurried1y called to the home, but
he foundsthat thesman had been dead
for some time. AS the Bristol physi-
clan signed ithe burial certificate it
was deemed unnecessary to hold a
coroners. inquest over the remains.
Victor Lindquist had been quite a
character in the county, he was
well known among the Swedish and
Danish people both in the city and
county. He was born in Sweden May
10, 1888, but he. spent his boyhood
years in Denmark, where he learned
the trade of miller. He came to
this country thirty-fve..years ago and
settled nearssthesvi1lage ofGTruesdell,
where he built the famous old Trues-
dell windmill. For.Emany years he
was in charge off the mill. at the vii
1age, ands later he went to Bristol,
where he sett1eda on the farm where

The widow, .one;son, oscar Lindquist
and two daughters survive. The
daughters are Mrs. G. Yonk and Mrs.
John C1auson,, both residents of the
town Of Bristol.

IT will probably beunnecessary next
spring for the city to build a branch
walk in the park, from the monument
running northeast to connect with
Church street. There has always
been more or less cutting" across
the grass at this point, though not
enough to damage the grass to any
great extent, but on Saturday last,
the real opening day Of the new busi-
ness district on Wisconsin street,
there were hundreds who made the
short cut, especially after dark. From
the new places on Wisconsin street,
the shortest route to Prairie avenue
is across the park, and it is going to
be impossible to- keep the people from
cutting the American habit of "get-
ting there" The shortest possible
and quickest way will prevail, and if
the council wants to keep the park
looking decent, they will be obliged
to put in the walk.

A. C. FROST has shown a DISPOSE
ton to treat the people of Kenosha
city and county with fairness and lib
crafty ever since he began the con-
struction of his line and if he goes on
as he has begun there is nothing in
reason that he cannot get to help
along his railway projects. Kenosha
people are naturally suspicious Of
electric railway promoters. They
have good reason to be. Their ex-
periences IN the past in dealing with
these gentlemen have not been such
as to inspire confidence. But Frost
has started out along different lines.
He has promised little and done much
and Kenosha is already inclined to
believe that it is good thing for the
city that Frost got possession of the
local line instead of John I. Beggs. 1t
really begins to look as il the days OF
continual fighting with the street
railway for the rights guaranteed the
patrons of the road under the fran
chise granted the company had gone
by and there is cause for congratula'
ton in that.

THE wou1d-be revo1utionists of the
Isle of Pines, who are in reality no.
thing but land spectators, who at
tempted to embroi1 this country with
the republic of Cuba by threatening
to set up a territorial government,
were handled without gloves by
Secretary Root, who sat down on
their project in short order. If this
ends it, they are lucky to get off SO
easily and they can thank their lucky
stars that the influence of the United
States is still strong enough in Cuba
to have the whole matter dropped
right where it is and no further
action taken. Before the Spanish
war matters were handled differently
down there and unsuccessful revolu-
i:ionists generally found themselves
with their backs to the wall and q
firing squad in front of them.

WIN CLOSING GAME
Kenosha High School Football
Team Defeats Calumet Highs
by Score Of 6
GAME WAS A GREAT CONTEST

The Kenosha High school football
team closed a very successful season
Thanksgiving day, when they de-
feated the strong Calumet Hig h
school team of Chicago, by score of
10 to s. The game was one of the
hardest p1aye games of the season.
Calumet kicked off to Kenosha, Keno
sha was held for downs; the Calumet
fullback went through for a touch
down and kicked goal making the only
score for Calumet during the anne.
The feature of the game was the
puntingsand the line bucking of Geo.
C1eary. The Kenosha boys seeing
defeat staring them in the face after
Ca1umetIhad scored took determined
brace andssoon .had the ball. They
then rushed it down the field by line
buckingham two spectacular end runs
by George Cleary who placed the ball
behind the goal post, but C1eary
failed to kick goal. The half ended
with the ball in the possession of the
Calumet team in the 1ter Of field.
The second half began with Keno
sha kicking off to Calumet and the
Calumet team was forced to punt and
Kenosha soon took up the march for
neutrality-suspicious.. EsTne Calumet
team wassunab1e to hold the Kenosha
team and Cleary went through center
for touchdown, but failed to kick
goal. Asskick off by Kenosha to
Calumet followed and after a few
downs timelwas called with the ball
in possession of the Calumet team on
their thirty yard line. The line up is
as follows:

IF you will take the trouble to walk
the length of Main street on any Sat
urday evening you will find several
|impromptu parties on the center OF
the walk in front of the busiest stores.
OF course the young ladies who make
up these parties don't stop to think
that they are mountaineering hun
dreds of people who have right to
the walk. Neither do they think that
they are breaking a law in congre-
eating on the walk in such manner
as to obstruct or impede traffic. The
fact of the matter is they are doing
both, and while they do not intend to
be in the way or to break the law,
they are just as much trouble as
though they wilfully set out for
trouble. Stop and think this over,
girls, and when you want to talk to
your friends on Main street during
busy hours just step to the edge Of
the walk; that will help some.

TWO BOYS RESCUED
David and Phillip EngeIberg Mar
rowly Escape Losin Their
Lives in kenosha River
EXHAUSTED WHEN TAKEN OUT

David and Phillip Enge1berg, the
little sons of Mr.. and Mrs. H. Enge1-
berg of 432 Middle street, had mar
row escape from being drowned in
the Kenosha river on Thursday after
noon. The two boys with a party of
companions had gone to the river for
an afternoons skating. The ice was
exceedingly thin but for time it was
sufficiently strong to hold up the boys
and girls.
Just at dus the two boys skated
out on the thin ice and second later
both were struggling in the water.
The small boys who had been on the
ice fled from the scene of the acct
dent and the little fellows were
drowning when Deputy Game Ward
en- Michael K1eist and B. Hermann
were attracted to the scene of the &C
cident. The two men did not wait for
any further pre1iminaries but Jumped
into the river and waded out to where
the boys were struggling. Phillip,
the youngest of the boys, was about
exhausted and before he was rescued
he lost consciousness. He was just
sinking when he was caught by the
deputy game warden.
The boys were carried to the banks
of the river and the elder regained
his strength at once and ran for home.
The little fellow was at first thought
to be dead but after the men had
worked over him for fifteen minutes
he regained consciousness. The two
boys are in usual health today. The
accident caused the widest excite
ment among the people residing along
the river and large crowd of anxious
spectators gathered on the bank.
The skating seaso is just opening
and the boys of the city should be
notified that caution is necessary. The
ice is still very thin and it may be
weeks before it is safe tc skate on il.
