the damages that had been done to
the sewer. The connection will not
be. disturbed and Abramowski will be
allowed to use the sewer until such a
time as the property is annexed to the
city and at that time he will pay the
usual fees.
The council took up the question of
the remodeiing of the Central engine
house and the contract for the work
was let to Gottleib Schaffer, the con-
tract price being 1896. Three bids
were presented for the contract and
Schaffer was low by several hundred
dollars. The work will be started as
soon as the weather will permit, and
1t is expected that it will be completed
early in the spring.
The bids for the installation OF q
police telegraph system were opened
and no action was taken on the mat
ter. Bids were presented by the

bids will be acted on at the second

time the companies will be asked to
make practical test of their products

ploy an expert mechanic to have
charge of the test. The cost for the
repair of the engine house and the i'm
stallation of the police telegraph
system will be in the neighborhood of
seven thousand dollars.
Alderman Edward Zievers of the
sixth ward took his seat at the meet

THE practice of carrying concealed
weapons is becoming altogether too
common in Kenosha, and trouble will
come from it sooner or later. 1t is a
tribute to the non fighting quality of
the brand of boose sold in the saloons
that the calendars Of the courts are
not filed with assault cases and even
murder trials. There is not the
slightest excuse for man going
armed in a peaceful community like
this, and a man who thinks it neces-
sary to carry a weapon will bear
watching.

TO REOPEN PLANTS
Creditors to Take Hold Of and
Operate Industrial Plants
at Zion City
AFFECTS LABOR MARKET HERE

The industries of Zion City are to be
|revived and operated under the man
agement of the creditors. This fact
was announced at an open meeting
held in the tabernacle at Zion City
Monday night. Another meeting will
be held next Monday night, at which
Receiver John C. Hately will give
detailed plan.
The decision to reopen the lace and
other factories of Zion City was
reached last Friday at meeting held
ia Judge Lands Office between the
attorneys for the Vo1iva faction,
those representing DR.. Dowie, and
Receiver Hately. At this conference
DR.. Dowie's attorneys agreed to re-
|1inquish all claim to the property to
the creditors, providing Voliva and
his followers would do likewise. This
was immediately agreed to.
The tentative plan suggested was
that Judge Lands should appoint
three men and the creditors should
name four, and the seven would con-
stitute board of directors. Receiver
Hately is co be chairman of the board.
The creditors on their part agree to
be responsible for the debts of Zion.
The reopening of the industries of
Zion will have decided effect on the
labor markets of Kenosha, as at the
present time several hundred Zion
City laborers are employed in Ke-
nosha and as many of these men are
skilled laborers and have their homes
at Zion they will be willing and ready
to return and work in the Zion City
factories. The workmen now en-
ployed in this city have little faith in
| the ability of the Receivers and Cred
| itors' Committee to find plan for
the successful operation of the Zion
industries and hone of them are CIV
ing up their work in Kenosha with
the understanding that they will go
back to their former positions.
| If the industries at Zion are re-
opened at once the workmen hold
that 1t will take weeks and possibly
months to get them in first class run.

FISH IN NEW PLACES.
Wild Ducks Found to Bear Fish Eggs
Ready to Hatch.

A correspondent from Saffl wrote in
our June issue expressing his mysti-
fication as to how small fish come to
be in inclosed waters. A naturalist
suggests an explanation. He says:
IF the wild ducks, etc, of Morocco
are similar to those elsewhere there is
no mystery. For some years there
was open-mouthed wonder as to how
perch, Dream and crayfish could get
into newly cut dams near the Mac
quarie river in New South Wales.
In some cases the water had hardly
settled after the rain had filed the
dam than the fish were observed, and
the farmers started Il large theory of
spontaneous production.
This obtained till a Sydney profes
sor CHANGED to pick up a wild duck
and found it's breast feathers and
webbed feet well dotted with fertile
and almost hatched fish-ova, on which
the Spontaneous production theory

When Is an Old Maida

When does a girl become an old
maid? This question, blunt and shorn
of delicate innuendo, is now figuring

a girl becomes an old maid when she
fails to marry betimes, but that is not
the point. What is the exact year
that ushers in spinsterhood and closes
forever the gates of youth? OF course,
this is not a matter in which man
has any word to say. No rational
wearer of trousers would tempt fate

WITH HUMAN ELECTRICITY
scientists Charge Circuit From the
Stomach of a Man.
An Interesting Experiment Upon
Which Theories Regarding DfEes-
tiOn and Life Action Are Based

San Francisco, Cal. = Before
number of medical men and scientists
Sunday, Doctors Albert ]. Atkins and
E. J. Lewis succeeded in charging an
electrical circuit with human electric
ity to such a degree that external
sound waves were transmitted and
heard through an ordinary telephone
receiver The experiment. consisted
of the application of two platinum cleo
trodes to the walls of the living stom-
ach. BY means of copper wires the
electrodes were connected with a teIe-
phone and microphone, a sensitive
instrument, which greatly intensifie3
sound. There was absolutely no me-
chantcal or chemical battery in the
circuit. yet the moment the electrodes
were swallowed sufficiently to touch
the walls of the stomach. human cleo
tricity flowed over the wires. render
ing sounds audible.
Drs. Atkins and Lewis claim that by
this experiment they have demonstrate
ed the law of action of the human
senses. They reason that if sound is
transmitted over copper wire when
it is charged with human electricity,
it is reasonable to consider the prin-
ciple the same when the auditory
nerve is charged with the same force
In other words, we hear when the audi
tory nerve is made sensitive with hui
man electricity on the same same prin-
ciple by which we receive a telephone
message. Furthermore. these scien-
lists claim that by a series of expert
ments they have proven that diges-
tion is an electro-chemic process, that
all life action in the body is dependent
upon the activity OF the electrical
forces within the organism.
